01/08/23 - Ahmad McCullough, rSr/2025, Transfer + More +

Ahmad McCullough, a linebacker who spent the last five years at the University of Maryland, announced Saturday via Twitter that he will be transferring to Washington State for his final season of eligibility. McCullough appeared in 33 games, starting seven, during his time with the Terrapins. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder made two starts this past season, rotating frequently off the bench, and totaled 45 tackles with three tackles for loss, one sack and two fumble recoveries across 12 games. He entered the transfer portal on Dec. 1, missing Maryland's win over NC State in the Duke's Mayo Bowl.

McCullough played in 12 games as a junior in 2021 and appeared in all five games during the coronavirus-affected 2020 season. He saw the field in one game in 2019 after taking a redshirt during his first season at Maryland. McCullough, who prepped at Mount Saint Joseph in Baltimore, finished his Terrapin career with 89 tackles and 5 1/2 for loss. He pledged to the Cougars over offers from Baylor and Arizona State. McCullough had also drawn recruiting interest from Auburn. - Spokesman-Review

01/08/23 - Ricky Parks, rSo/2026, Transfer + More +

Just days after Utah fell to Penn State in the Rose Bowl, the Utes' running back room is thinning. Former four-star prospect Ricky Parks has reportedly entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to multiple reports Thursday, news that was initially broken by 247 Sports' Steve Bartle. That comes one day after reports about another running back, the versatile Micah Bernard, entering the transfer portal. Unlike Bernard, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards over the past two seasons, Parks did not play a down over the past two years after signing with the Utes' 2021 recruiting class.

The 5-foot-10, 210-pound Parks redshirted the 2021 season after enrolling early at Utah. He didn't see action this season in a crowded running backs group where four backs ran for 350 or more yards. Parks was rated a four-star recruit coming out of Gaither High in Tampa, Florida, and the No. 19 running back in that year's class, according to 247 Sports' composite rankings. He also held scholarship offers from Power Five schools like Florida State, Penn State, South Carolina, Louisville and Pittsburgh, among others, per 247 Sports. - Deseret News

01/08/23 - Deacon Hill, rJr/2026, Transfer + More +

Former Wisconsin quarterback Deacon Hill has committed to Iowa, he announced Wednesday on social media. Hill, a former three-star recruit from Santa Barbara, Calif., did not see any game action in two seasons with the Badgers. Hill, who announced plans to transfer in October, initially committed to Fordham before flipping his commitment to Iowa this week. Iowa analyst Jon Budmayr was the quarterbacks coach at Wisconsin when Hill chose the Badgers out of high school.

Hill, who has three years of eligibility remaining, will add depth to a quarterback position that has lost two players to the transfer portal since the end of the 2022 season. Cade McNamara is the likely starter after transferring from Michigan, and Joe Labas is the incumbent at the No. 2 quarterback spot after making his debut in the Music City Bowl. - The Gazette

12/31/22 - Tyler Buchner, rJr/2026, Transfer + More +

Tyler Buchner accounted for five touchdowns to help offset two interceptions returned for TDs, and No. 19 Notre Dame beat 20th-ranked South Carolina 45-38 in a wild TaxSlayer Bowl on Friday. The highest-scoring game in Gator Bowl history was filled with big plays and memorable moments. But Buchner delivered the knockout blow when he found tight end Mitchell Evans wide open for a 16-yard touchdown on a third-and-7 play with 1:38 remaining. Buchner, who regained the starting job after Drew Pyne entered the transfer portal following the regular-season finale, threw for 274 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for 61 yards and two scores. But his three interceptions nearly proved too much to overcome.

O'Donnell Fortune returned one of them 100 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, and DQ Smith returned another 47 yards for a score in the first. But Buchner bounced back from both miscues to earn his first victory in three career starts. Notre Dame (9-4, No. 21 CFP) overcame a 14-point deficit and won despite South Carolina's scoring on the two pick-6s and on special teams. Punter Kai Kroger connected with long-snapper Hunter Rogers for one of the oddest TDs in bowl lore. Spencer Rattler completed 29 of 44 passes for 246 yards for the Gamecocks (8-5, No. 19 CFP), with an interception and two touchdowns to Xavier Legette. South Carolina was missing a number of key starters, including running back MarShawn Lloyd, versatile tight end Jaheim Bell, tight end Austin Stogner, defensive lineman Zacch Pickens, safety Devonni Reed, cornerbacks Cam Smith and Darius Rush, and receivers Josh Vann and Jalen Brooks. Notre Dame played without All-American tight end Michael Mayer, standout edge rusher Isaiah Foskey, cornerback Cam Hart and defensive lineman Jayson Ademilola. - Notre Dame/AP College Football

After missing a pair of games with injury, Houston returned for the UMass game and ripped off a 75-yard touchdown run on his first carry back. It was a career-long run for Houston and the longest play from scrimmage this season for UConn as well as the longest scoring play. In eight games he has run for a team-high 455 yards on 69 carriers, a 6.6 per carry average, with three scores. - Connecticut Football

12/20/22 - Noe Ruelas, Sr/2025, Transfer + More +

2022 PHIL STEEL ALL-INDEPENDENT CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM: K Noe Ruelas, Connecticut,...Sophomore kicker Noe Ruelas was thrust into the starting role during summer camp when returning starter Joe McFadden suffered a season-ending knee injury in the preseason. McFadden was the Huskies leading point producer in 2021, hitting on 12 of 17 field goals and all 19 of his extra point attempts. Ruelas saw his first action in 2022 and held down the place kicking duties all season, making 12 of 15 field goals. Ruelas is the Huskies leading point producer with 62 points through 12 games.

He kicked the first field goals of his career, hitting a pair in the 4th quarter (47yd, 54yd) in the loss at Utah State. Ruelas's 54 yarder was the first 50-plus yard field goal at UConn since Michael Tarbutt hit from 50-yards at Tulsa in 2018. Ruelas now owns the second longest field goal in UConn school history, with his 54-yarder coming in behind school record holder Jim McManus who hit a 56-yard field goal against New Hampshire in 1998. It is the longest field goal in UConn's FBS history (2002-present). - Connecticut Football

The Maricopa, Ariz., product intercepted his first career pass at Charlotte.
