Marcus Williams Jr. ran for four touchdowns, Aaron Allen passed for two scores, and Louisiana Tech broke a five-game losing streak by defeating Charlotte 42-32 on Saturday night. Williams had 29 carries for 131 yards and Allen completed 21 of 27 passes for 324 yards for the Bulldogs (3-7, 2-4 Conference USA). Louisiana Tech led by at least two scores throughout the second half, but Charlotte made it interesting. The 49ers drew within 42-32 when Chris Reynolds hit Jr. Keith Pearson with a 21-yard pass with 8:44 remaining in the fourth. Charlotte had two more possessions but turned it over on downs on the first and time ran out on the second. Reynolds completed 25 of 42 passes for 448 yards and two touchdowns for the 49ers (5-5, 2-3). Pearson caught six passes for 150 yards with two touchdowns. Charlotte had a 548-504 advantage in total yards. - AP College Football

Marcus Williams Jr. ran for two touchdowns in the first quarter, including a 42-yard dash to make it 14-0, and Louisiana Tech dashed to a 24-point first-half lead and made it stand up for a 24-17 win over North Texas in the Bulldogs' Conference USA opener Saturday. J.D. Head tossed a 34-yard touchdown pass to Samuel Emilus and Jacob Barnes kicked a 21-yard field goal to make it 24-0 with more than 10 minutes left in the first half and the Louisiana Tech defense took over from there.

North Texas (1-3, 0-2) got a touchdown by DeAndre Torrey just before intermission. Ethan Mooney kicked a 33-yard field goal and Austin Aune tossed an eight-yard touchdown pass to Damon Ward Jr. late in the fourth quarter, but the Mean Green could not find the equalizing touchdown. Aaron Allen was 14 of 18 passing for 137 yards and Louisiana Tech (2-2, 1-0) managed just 81 rushing yards, led by Williams' 73 on 17 carries. Torrey carried 26 times for 119 yards to lead North Texas. - Louisiana Tech/AP College Football

Austin Kendall threw for a touchdowns and rushed for another, Greg Garner scored three times and Louisiana Tech edged Southeastern Louisiana 45-42 on Saturday night. However, it took a fumble recovery by Cedric Woods in the final minute to secure the win. Southeast Louisiana quarterback Cole Kelley ran for 16 yards on third-and-10 from his 19 but was stripped by Ezekiel Barnett, although the first down would have been nullified by a penalty.

Garner had back-to-back touchdowns in the third quarter to give the Bulldogs (1-1) 10-point leads in the shootout. The first came when Kendall threw a backwards pass to wide receiver Kyle Maxwell, who threw the ball into the end zone, where Garner hauled it in while being hit. Garner got his second rushing touchdown after the second of Kelley's three TD passes. Kelley was 44 of 59 for 453 yards with two interceptions and scored twice on the ground while leading the Lions (1-1) in rushing with 42 yards. CJ Turner had eight catches for 131 yards. The Lions had 556 total yards but 10 penalties cost them 100 yards and they had three turnovers. Kendall was 20 of 28 for 250 yards. - Louisiana Tech/AP College Football

08/31/21 - Jonathan Denis, rSr/2026, Louisiana Tech, 6-3, 316 (DS#81 OG) + More +

An Oregon offensive lineman is out indefinitely. Ducks second-year interior offensive lineman Jonathan Denis suffered an injury last week and was not included on the team's depth chart for the season opener against Fresno State on Saturday (11 a.m., Pac-12 Network). "He had an injury the other day," Oregon coach Mario Cristobal said. "He was just about splitting time with the ones. We think his injury is going to be probably a little bit longer. He may be out for a little while." A mid-year enrollee in 2020, Denis did not appear in a game last season but was with the second-team offensive line at center. He repped at several interior spots during fall camp. - The Oregonian

08/07/21 - Jakelyn Morgan, rSo/2026, Louisiana Tech, 6-1, 185 (DS#999 CB) + More +

Arizona's starting cornerbacks this year will most likely be returning star Christian Roland-Wallace and Notre Dame transfer Isaiah Rutherford, who was one of 13 players Fisch and Co. scooped from the transfer portal. The reserve scholarship cornerbacks? Junior McKenzie Barnes and redshirt Malik Hausman, walk-on Treydan Stukes - and Morgan, an incoming freshman.

Barnes had a promising start to his Arizona career, playing in nine games as a freshman, but his productivity on the field has tapered since the 2018 season, while Hausman has mostly served as a special teams player in four years. Initially recruited by Kevin Sumlin, Morgan remained committed and signed with the Wildcats. He told the Star in April: "I'm 100% confident they can coach me and turn me into a man and a great player and get me to my goal, which is the NFL." Morgan's lengthy frame and athleticism coupled with Arizona's lack of scholarship cornerbacks could get him on the field sooner than later. - Arizona Republic

05/27/21 - Jay Wilkerson, rJr/2027, Louisiana Tech, 6-1, 179 (DS#999 WR) + More +

The first wide receiver to commit to Washington State under Nick Rolovich is looking to continue his college football career elsewhere. Jay Wilkerson, a Texas native who initially committed to Rolovich at Hawaii and flipped less than a month after the coach accepted a job at WSU, has entered the NCAA transfer portal, Rivals.com reported Monday. Wilkerson made his college debut in the second half of WSU's blowout loss at USC last fall and recently completed his first spring camp with the Cougars, making two catches for a team-high 50 yards in the Crimson and Gray Game. Wilkerson recorded just one other catch, for nine yards, in the team's two other spring scrimmages. A three-star prospect who also had college offers to Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota and Oklahoma State, Wilkerson had the ability to play both as an inside receiver but wasn't considered to be a first- or second-string option at either position by the end of spring camp. - Spokesman-Review

05/02/21 - *Milton Williams, rJr/2021, Louisiana Tech, 6-3, 284 (DS#7 DT) + More +

Not everyone is always on the same page in NFL Draft war rooms. On Friday, an uncomfortable exchange between Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and senior scout Tom Donahoe was caught on camera following the selection of Louisiana Tech defensive lineman Milton Williams. Roseman fist-bumped everyone in the room, but Donahoe was hesitant. "When we were at pick 70, there were a couple of guys that we liked on the board," Roseman told the media Friday. "We moved back a little bit to see how it would go. A couple of guys that we liked went as well. "These guys spend all year scouting these guys. You get favorites, you get guys that you feel really strongly about. We all do. That's the fun part about being in the draft room is the emotions of it." Philadelphia traded down from No. 70 to No. 73 and chose Williams in the third round to close out the second day of the draft. - Monroe news star

04/29/21 - Shadeed Ahmed, rSr/2026, Louisiana Tech, 6-0, 175 (DS#999 WR) + More +

In Marshall's 2021 spring football game, Thundering Herd wide receiver Shadeed Ahmed's first catch came uncontested as a defensive breakdown led to an easy pitch-and-catch for a score with him and quarterback Grant Wells. For Ahmed, though, this spring was about making sure the defense - nor anyone associated with the Herd - forgets him on the outside ever again. Ahmed drew praise from everyone associated with Marshall's program after a breakout spring that culminated with a five-catch, 124-yard performance that yielded two touchdowns in the spring game. "[Ahmad is] a young man that I've been grinding on since I got here because he's got all the talent in the world," first-year Marshall coach Charles Huff said. "He's just got to be consistent. I think he made some really good plays [in the game]. You got to see his skill set flash a little bit." Ahmed came to Marshall from Navarro College, and is one of three players who came to the Herd from the heralded Texas junior college in 2020. - Charleston Gazette

02/25/21 - Keyon Henry-Brooks, rJr/2024, Louisiana Tech, 6-0, 207 (DS#999 RB) + More +

The Vanderbilt football program is losing its leading rusher from last season. Running back Keyon Henry-Brooks has announced that he will enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. He is the second running back to transfer, joining Jamauri Wakefield, who entered the portal on Dec. 28, just two weeks after new coach Clark Lea was hired. Henry-Brooks will have two years of eligibility left, with the potential for a redshirt. Henry-Brooks played in six of Vanderbilt's nine games, starting in five of them, as a sophomore in 2020. He rushed 120 times for a team-high 494 yards and two touchdowns. He also tied for second on the team in receptions with 28, amassing 258 yards through the air. He was also one of only four Commodores to score multiple touchdowns, and he led the team in all-purpose yards per game with 125.3. - The Tennessean

02/12/21 - Craig Williams, rSr/2024, Louisiana Tech, 5-08, 168 (DS#999 WR) + More +

Baylor's run game left much to be desired, ending 2020 ranked last in the Big 12 with just 813 rushing yards. With star running back Craig "Sqwirl" Williams expected to return from injury next season, will this group make a comeback in 2021? Williams was supposed to take 2020 by storm. The three-year veteran has battled injuries throughout his career and sat the 2019 season out. He returned as the Bears' leading rusher last season, but the campaign was cut short after he suffered a season-ending knee injury in October. While Williams is expected to make a healthy return, there's some concern on whether he'll be able to avoid the injury bug. - Dallas Morning News

Keyshawn "KP" Paul joins the Owls after two seasons as a member of the UConn Huskies. Paul, a junior, entered the transfer portal after the Huskies opted not to field a team in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Miami, Florida, native played defensive back in all of UConn's games in 2019 and all but one during his freshman campaign in 2018. During the 2019 season, he accumulated 36 tackles, 2.5 TFLs and an interception. While attending Jackson High School, Paul was a three-sport athlete. He played football, basketball and ran track and field. - Temple Football
