01/12/23 - Spencer Lovell, rSr/2025, Nevada + More +

A pair of veteran transfers announced their plans to join the Kansas football program for the 2023 season on Sunday night. Offensive lineman Spencer Lovell, who played in 29 games at both Arizona State and started three games at Cal last season, and linebacker JB Brown, of Bowling Green, both said picking KU as their next stops was easy. Credit for that goes to the KU coaching staff, the current players and the family vibe that has become a big part of the Kansas football culture in the past couple of seasons.

Lovell, who has played both tackle and guard but projects as a guard at KU, was injured early on during the 2022 season and is still recovering from a lower body injury that knocked him out for most of the season. He told JayhawkSlant.com that getting stronger and back in shape along with finding the right fit as a program were key parts of this round of his recruitment. - Lawrence Journal World

2022 ALL-MOUNTAIN WEST FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: DL - Dom Peterson, Sr., Nevada,...For Peterson, it is his fourth-career All-Mountain West honor, and second selection to the Second Team, while Taua earns his third All-MW honor, and Williams his second. Peterson, in addition to his second-team selections in 2020 and this season, was named to the First Team in 2019 and honorable mention in 2021. Taua, the 2018 Mountain West Freshman of the Year, is a two-time honorable mention (2019, 2022) with a second-team honor (2020). Williams earned his first honorable mention in 2020. Peterson earned his fourth All-Mountain West nod with another dominant season anchoring the Wolf Pack's front four.

Peterson wrapped his final season with 6.0 sacks (10th in the conference) and 13.0 tackles-for-loss among his 34 total tackles. His disruptive play in the trenches contributed also to Nevada's takeaways, as Peterson forced a pair of fumbles on strip sacks, and led the Mountain West, and ranked tied for third in the country, with three fumble recoveries. Peterson's 2022 campaign also saw him rise up Nevada's career rankings in multiple categories. He finishes his career ranked second in Wolf Pack history with 55.5 tackles-for-loss, and third with 28.0 sacks. - Nevada Football

Through the end of the regular season (Nov. 26), Sanders leads the Mountain West in interceptions (five), forced fumbles (three, sharing the lead), and solo tackles (66), while his 82 total tackles rank 13th among all Mountain West defenders. - Nevada Football
