  Zevi Eckhaus threw for 211 yards and a pair of scores and Bryant defeated Marist 34-17 on Saturday. The Bulldogs (2-2) built a 17-0 lead after Daniel Adeboboye and Fabrice Mukendi each scored on 2-yard touchdown runs in the first quarter. Marist (0-2) countered with an 11-yard TD pass from Brock Bagozzi to Mekhai Johnson with 21 seconds left before halftime. Then, early in the second, Bagozzi connected with Dwayne Menders on a 14-yard score to reduce the deficit to 17-14. But Bryant slammed the door on Marist's comeback bid when Eckhaus threw a 12-yard TD to Anthony Frederick with 4:15 left in the third. He connected again with Frederick, this time for 18 yards, and a 31-17 lead to seal it. Eckhaus ran for 70 yards and Frederick caught nine passes for 98 yards. Bagozzi threw for 211 yards and Menders gained 144 yards receiving on 12 receptions. - AP College Football

  Washington State's Jarrett Guarantano was named Thursday to the watch list for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, presented annually to the top upperclassman quarterback in college football. The grad transfer from Tennessee landed on the same list last season, when he threw for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns against four picks for the Volunteers, adding four rushing scores in seven games. The New Jersey native was a four-year letter winner with the Volunteers, starting 32 games in that span. Guarantano passed for 6,174 yards and 38 touchdowns on a 61.1% completion rate at Tennessee and was one of just three Vols quarterbacks to throw for over 400 yards in a single game. - Spokesman-Review

  Travell Harris, a senior wide receiver/kick returner from Florida, was named to the Hornung Award watch list for the third consecutive season, joining 56 other players from across the country. Harris was used in a multitude of ways last season, his first in Nick Rolovich's run-and-shoot offense, and finished fifth in the Pac-12 Conference in all-purpose yards per game with 146.5. He was also seventh in the conference in total receptions (29) and receiving yards per game (85) and was 11th in total touchdowns, with three. During the shortened four-game 2020 season, Harris led the Cougars with seven plays of 20-plus yards - six receiving and one rushing - and enters the 2021 season with 66 career kickoff returns, which is one shy of a school record. - Spokesman-Review

  Although media members may be in wait-and-see mode with Washington State's football team as a while, picking the Cougars to finish sixth in Tuesday's preseason poll, most seem to be fairly bullish on Max Borghi and Abraham Lucas having standout seasons that could catapult them even higher in the 2022 NFL Draft. Borghi, WSU's senior running back, and Lucas, a senior right tackle, were both selected to the preseason All-Pac-12 First Team as chosen by the league's media members.

Though Borghi and Lucas were the only Cougars selected to the First or Second Team, a handful of others made all-conference honorable mention, including wide receivers Travell Harris and Renard Bell, left tackle Liam Ryan, linebacker Jahad Woods, defensive lineman Brennan Jackson and cornerback Jaylen Watson. Preseason all-conference ballots were submitted prior to Bell, WSU's sixth-year senior wideout, announcing on social media he'd torn his ACL and would be sidelined for the 2021 football season. It's the second year in a row that both Borghi's and Lucas' names appeared on the preseason First Team, though it wasn't a guarantee either would return to Pullman this fall. - Spokesman-Review

  When the shortened 2020 season ended, it appeared Washington State's football team would have a chance to return all four of its starting receivers in 2021. Suddenly, that number is down to just one. Renard Bell, WSU's longest-tenured receiver and one of the Pac-12's top producers in 2020, will sit out this fall due to an ACL injury, he announced Friday afternoon on social media. Bell led the Cougars in receptions last season, reeling in 33 passes against Oregon State, Oregon, USC and Utah. He led the Pac-12 in receptions per game at 8.2 and was third in receiving yards per game at 95.7. Bell tied for the team lead in touchdown catches (2) and ranked second to Travell Harris in total receiving yards with 337. - Spokesman-Review

  In the wake of national laws that now allow college athletes to capitalize off name, image and likeness, Washington State's most recognizable football player has joined the ever-growing Cameo movement, and plans to share his earnings. Senior running back Max Borghi, who this week was named to watch lists for the Doak Walker Award and Biletnikoff Award, announced on Twitter Thursday he's partnered with Cameo, a social media application that allows celebrities to send personalized video messages to fans for a fixed price.

Borghi will charge $70 per personalized video, but doesn't intend to keep the money he makes from Cameo. Cameo, which launched in 2016, has become a popular platform for fans wishing to receive personalized video messages from their favorite athletes, musicians, actors, comedians, etc. Messages are often used for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries and weddings, although WSU utilized the app to add flair to its spring game, obtaining customized messages from Christopher McDonald, who played Shooter McGavin in the film "Happy Gilmore," and former NBA star Dikembe Mutombo. - Spokesman-Review

  Although his involvement in Washington State's passing game won't be as heavy as it once was, Cougars running back Max Borghi was still named to the award given to college football's most outstanding receiver. Borghi was one of 51 college football players named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list on Thursday. While most watch list recipients are wide receivers, any player who catches a pass - wide receiver, tight end, slot back or running back - is eligible to receive the award.

In his lone appearance last season, Borghi rushed for 95 yards with an eight-yard touchdown and caught one pass against Utah. Though he had just one reception in 2020, Borghi still enters the 2021 season third in school history for catches by a running back (140). He's also fourth in WSU history with 29 total touchdowns and fifth with 20 rushing touchdowns. The nomination for Borghi comes just one day after he was named to the watch list for the 2021 Doak Walker Award, which is given to the nation's top running back. - Spokesman-Review

  One day after UNLV football was picked to finish last in the Mountain West preseason poll, the scarlet and gray were shut out of the MWC All-Conference team. The league released its All-MWC teams on Thursday, with 11 players on offense and 11 on defense (plus four special teams selections), and no UNLV players were deemed worthy of inclusion. UNLV running back Charles Williams made the preseason All-MWC team last year, but after a season in which he posted 495 yards and four touchdowns in six games, he was beaten out by Fresno State's Ronnie Rivers and Wyoming's Xazavian Valladay. The two UNLV players with the best cases were wide receiver Kyle Williams and linebacker Jacoby Windmon. Williams won Freshman of the Year honors in 2020 by catching 35 passes for 426 yards and two touchdowns, while Windmon enjoyed a breakout sophomore campaign in which he logged 39 tackles, 5.0 and 6.5 tackles for loss. - Las Vegas Sun

  Max Borghi, who's expected to be one of the nation's top returning running backs in 2021, was named to the Doak Walker Award watch list for the third time in as many years. In total, 82 running backs from across the country were named to the watch list, including a handful from the Pac-12 Conference. In Borghi's lone appearance during the shortened 2020 season, the standout from Arvada, Colorado, rushed for 95 yards with an eight-yard touchdown in the season finale at Utah. He returns to the Cougars in 2021 fourth in WSU history with 29 career touchdowns and fifth in school history with 20 rushing touchdowns. During his sophomore season, Borghi registered 1,435 all-purpose yards along with 16 total touchdowns, the second-most in the Pac-12. - Spokesman-Review

  Four years ago, Calvin Jackson Jr. gained national notoriety for his role in Netflix hit "Last Chance U" - a docu-series that spent a season following Jackson Jr's football team at Independence Community College. Jackson Jr. and many of the ICC players that were featured prominently in season three of "Last Chance U" picked up thousands of social media followers as Netflix users binged their way through the eight-episode season. Now, Jackson Jr., an outside receiver at Washington State who's expected to compete for a starting role this fall, has one of the strongest social media brands on the Cougars' football team, with more than 22,000 followers between Twitter and Instagram.

Indirectly, his role in the "Last Chance U" series may have also helped the Florida native become one of the first local college athletes to monetize from his name, image and likeness. On Thursday, the first day NCAA athletes could capitalize on their NIL, Jackson Jr. announced a partnership with College Football Edits, a popular Instagram page that generates graphics and edits of college football players. The College Football Edits page currently has a following of more than 73,3000. - Spokesman-Review

  For the second time this week, a young Washington State wide receiver has announced plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Two days after Jay Wilkerson revealed he'd be continuing his career elsewhere, Cedrick Pellum, another sophomore receiver from the state of Texas, announced on Twitter he'd be entering the portal and exploring options outside of Pullman. Similar to Wilkerson, Pellum was a young wideout who'd yet to crack WSU's two-deep and may have had to wait at least one year, or potentially more, to see significant field time for the Cougars. Pellum didn't record any stats in the Crimson and Gray game or either of the team's other two spring scrimmages. Unlike Wilkerson, one of the first players to commit to WSU under Nick Rolovich, Pellum committed to the Cougars while Mike Leach was still in charge. - Spokesman-Review

  One safety from the University at Buffalo football program has withdrawn from the transfer portal, while another has entered the transfer portal. According to Rivals.com and 247Sports, Cory Gross has withdrawn from the portal while Tyrone Hill has entered the transfer portal. Gross originally entered the transfer portal May 7, the same day UB named Maurice Linguist as its head coach. Gross is UB's second-leading tackler among its returnees; he had 42 in seven games last season, behind linebacker James Patterson (63 tackles in 2020).

Gross is the third UB player to withdraw from the transfer portal, along with quarterback Matt Myers and linebacker Tim Terry. Hill had 31 tackles and was second on the team with six pass breakups in 2020. Hill was an all-Mid-American Conference selection at safety last season, and was part of a UB secondary that was fourth in the MAC in pass defense and tied for 29th in the nation (203 yards per game). In three seasons at UB, Hill had 20 pass breakups, including 10 in 2019. - Buffalo News

  The Cougars keep churning out elite offensive tackles. We're not sure Lucas will attain Andre Dillard status on draft night - Dillard was the No. 22 overall selection - but he's arguably the best offensive lineman in the conference as a 6-foot-7 wall of protection. Will get more experience blocking in the run game under Nick Rolovich than he would have in the Air Raid. - Oakland Tribune
