03/08/23 - CB Jaheim Singletary, Fr/2026, Arkansas + More +      Arkansas coach Sam Pittman announced the signing of former Georgia cornerback Jaheim Singletary during a Tuesday news conference. Singletary made an official visit to Arkansas on Sunday and Monday. "He's signed his SEC agreement with us," Pittman said. "He was here on his OV this Sunday and Monday and left this morning. We were very fortunate. We're excited about him. Big-time player out of Georgia." He was an ESPN 4-star prospect, the No. 3 cornerback and No. 21 overall prospect in the nation in the 2022 class. Singletary, 6-1, 175 pounds, attended Jacksonville (Fla.) Riverside before picking Georgia over Florida, Florida State, Ohio State, Auburn, LSU, Texas A&M, Miami, Michigan, Tennessee and numerous other schools. He participated in the 2022 Under Armour All-American Game and played in two games for the Bulldogs. He has four years of eligibility remaining. Singletary entered the NCAA transfer portal on Jan. 13. He's expected to report to Fayetteville this summer. - Northwest Arkansas Times CB Jaheim Singletary, Fr/2026 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* (00) - Recruiting Grade: 5* (05) > Arkansas Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, Arkansas Player News & Notes News Source: Northwest Arkansas Times, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/08/23 - DT Ruke Orhorhoro, rSr/2024, Clemson + More +      Orange and white were still the primary jersey colors as Clemson football opened spring practice on March 6. But another color - yellow - was prominently featured. For the second spring in a row, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney's pre-practice press conference included a long rundown of players who will be limited participants in yellow jerseys. That includes defensive tackles Ruke Orhorhoro and Payton Page, who are recovering from shoulder injuries. Receivers Beaux Collins (shoulder) and Adam Randall (knee) are also on the mend, along with offensive lineman Walker Parks (ankle) and Marcus Tate (knee). "Definitely wish I had them out there, but they aren't gonna hand out any trophies this spring," Swinney said. "We'll be able to get done what we need to do foundationally as a team with the guys we have." - Charleston Post Courier DT Ruke Orhorhoro, rSr/2024 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 4* (08) - Recruiting Grade: 3* (95) > Clemson Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, Clemson Player News & Notes News Source: Charleston Post Courier, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/08/23 - WR Jacari Carter, rJr/2025, Georgia State + More +      Jacari Carter enrolled in January after transferring from Merrimack, where he earned all-conference and Freshman All-America honors at the FCS level. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Carter caught 125 passes for 1,227 yards and 13 touchdowns in 25 games at Merrimack. As a freshman in 2021, he had 89 receptions for 713 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games in 2021. His 89 receptions were four shy of Cooper Kupp's FCS season record. Head coach Shawn Elliott has been impressed with Carter since he arrived on campus. "He has done an exceptional job," Elliott said. "He has fit in so well with our football program. He's intelligent, he's an extremely hard worker and he's a good leader. He's small in stature, but he plays big. "You always look to improve a position in recruiting, and I think we hit a home run with that young man." - Georgia State Football WR Jacari Carter, rJr/2025 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* (00) - Recruiting Grade: 0* (00) > Georgia State Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, Georgia State Player News & Notes News Source: Georgia State Football, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/08/23 - OG Mason Lunsford, rSr/2024, LSU + More +      Former Maryland offensive lineman Mason Lunsford signed with LSU, The Advocate has learned. He will enroll this summer, adding depth to the interior offensive line. Lunsford started for the last two years at Maryland before he entered the NCAA transfer portal. He signed with the Tigers after visiting campus last weekend. Lunsford has two years of eligibility. LSU has been looking for an experienced offensive line transfer who can compete at center or guard. It missed out on Cincinnati center Jake Renfro and Miami center Jakai Clark before landing Lunsford. Lunsford signed with Maryland as a three-star recruit. He turned into a key player on the Terps' offensive line, starting 23 games over the last two seasons. Lunsford primarily played left guard. - Baton Rouge Advocate OG Mason Lunsford, rSr/2024 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* (00) - Recruiting Grade: 3* (181) > LSU Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, LSU Player News & Notes News Source: Baton Rouge Advocate, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/08/23 - WR Dee Wiggins, rSr/2024, Cincinnati + More +      Louisville transfer Dee Wiggins, a 6-foot-3, 195-pound wide receiver, found several balls Monday. Then again, after transferring from the Miami Hurricanes to Louisville, he's finally comfortable with a set of plays. "The transition for me is 100% perfect," Wiggins said. "This is my first year ever having the same playbook back-to-back. Since my freshman year I've had a different coach every year. I feel more confident and ready." A season-ending injury limited Wiggins to three games at Louisville last year. He's now on a team that's about to have two receivers drafted into the NFL (Tyler Scott and Tre Tucker) and could fill a void. "Going hard every rep, that's a blessing!" Wiggins said of his day's work. "It's really on me to come out here and do it every day and be consistent. No matter where you go, you've got an opportunity. God created them, you've got to make them." The most experienced returning receiver is Chris Scott, who has added weight and is 6-foot-2, 205 pounds. The physiques of Washington State transfer Donovan Ollie, at 6-foot-3, 212 pounds, and 6-foot-4, 198-pound Sterling Berkhalter of North Carolina A&T (by way of Princeton High) are notable. - Cincinnati Enquirer WR Dee Wiggins, rSr/2024 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* (127) - Recruiting Grade: 3* (64) > Cincinnati Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, Cincinnati Player News & Notes News Source: Cincinnati Enquirer, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/08/23 - OT Zion Nelson, rSr/2024, Miami + More +      Jalen Rivers, who has played mostly guard at UM, again lined up as the first-team left tackle, while Chris Washington was the first-team right tackle. Left tackle Zion Nelson, who missed much of last season because of a knee injury, remains out for undisclosed medical reasons; Mario Cristobal has indicated he's optimistic that Nelson will be able to play this season. Rivers could end up starting at left tackle if Nelson doesn't win the job this summer, or if the Canes believe five-star freshmen tackles Samson Okunlola and Francis Mauigoa aren't ready for starting jobs. - Miami Herald OT Zion Nelson, rSr/2024 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 3* (04) - Recruiting Grade: 3* (323) > Miami Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, Miami Player News & Notes News Source: Miami Herald, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/08/23 - CB Jason Marshall Jr., Jr/2025, Florida + More +      Florida junior cornerback Jason Marshall Jr. wants to become a more vocal leader on the defense this spring. "There's young guys coming in and they're looking up to me and some of the other guys," Marshall said following Saturday's first spring practice. "Setting that foundation and me having my game experience and experience here in college in general, they're going to look up to me, ask questions." Marshall, out of Miami Palmetto High School, is coming off a sophomore season in which he started all 13 games - recording eight pass breakups, one tackle for loss and one interception. As Florida's top cover corner, the 6-foot-1, 197-pound Marshall set goals of becoming faster and stronger during the offseason. But with the departure of linebackers Ventrell Miller Jr., Amari Burney and defensive lineman Gervon Dexter Sr., Marshall is preparing to make an impact beyond the playing field as well. "It all started end of last year," Marshall said. "With guys like Ventrell leaving and Gervon leaving, those were your vocal guys on defense. I'm in that role. I have to step up and be more vocal toward the defense." - Gainesville Sun CB Jason Marshall Jr., Jr/2025 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* (00) - Recruiting Grade: 5* (04) > Florida Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, Florida Player News & Notes News Source: Gainesville Sun, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/08/23 - SS Sage Ryan, rSo/2026, LSU + More +      Injuries limited Sage Ryan to four games with two starts as a freshman. Then last year, he became a rotational player who recorded 23 tackles, one pass breakup and two forced fumbles while appearing in every game behind nickel Jay Ward. That is a natural career progression for many, but Ryan was a five-star recruit. The label creates higher expectations. The ideal step for Ryan would be to turn into a regular starter here in his third season. He has the opportunity after Ward's departure for the NFL created one of three openings in the secondary. But LSU could play one of its cornerbacks at nickel. If Ryan doesn't start there, LSU still needs him as the top backup to safeties Greg Brooks and Major Burns. - Baton Rouge Advocate SS Sage Ryan, rSo/2026 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* (00) - Recruiting Grade: 5* (05) > LSU Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, LSU Player News & Notes News Source: Baton Rouge Advocate, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/08/23 - WR Kody Epps, rSo/2026, Brigham Young + More +      BYU wide receiver Kody Epps isn't your typical sophomore. Thanks to things like the pandemic and a redshirt year, he is already a veteran in terms of his time as a Cougar since he is in his fourth year. That's one reason why BYU isn't going to rush him back from a shoulder injury, although Epps said with a grin Monday after practice at the indoor practice facility in Provo that if it was up to him he'd be out on the field right now. "My shoulder is doing a lot better than it could have been," Epps said. "It's been a slow process but they've been taking care of me. I've been staying on top of my rehab, nutrition,sleep and all that type of stuff. Those things have been the main emphasis to get my shoulder right." Epps - and many other Cougar players who are recovering from injuries and/or surgeries - aren't just sitting around waiting to heal up. There are still physical things to be done to be ready to go. "Right now I'm able to do a lot of footwork stuff and work on my legs," Epps said. "I really want to get a lot a lot stronger, a lot heavier with my legs so I can be a lot more explosive and a lot more powerful." Perhaps more important than the conditioning work, however, is for those players to not lose their mental sharpness. "I'm just so locked in like when it comes to meetings and stuff," Epps said. "I just want to be as locked in as possible, and definitely someone that (wide receivers coach Fesi Sitake) can rely on to understand the offense. I look at what the running backs are doing, what the linemen are doing, the quarterbacks reads, everything. I sit in quarterbacks meetings from time to time just to hear that dialogue, see what they're thinking." - Daily Herald WR Kody Epps, rSo/2026 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* (00) - Recruiting Grade: 3* (121) > Brigham Young Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, Brigham Young Player News & Notes News Source: Daily Herald, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/07/23 - DE Peter Woods, Fr/2027, Clemson + More +      Monday marked freshman defensive lineman Peter Woods' first career practice as a Tiger. He's easily the most-hyped recruit in Clemson's recruiting class of 2023 and finished his career at Thompson (Ala.) High School as the No. 33 prospect in the country. Freshman early enrollees T.J. Parker and Vic Burley also rank as top 10 defensive linemen in the class (Burley and Stephiylan Green, another freshman defensive lineman, practiced with Clemson at the Orange Bowl). Woods looks every bit of the 6-foot-2 and 300 pounds he's listed at and moved well in early drills. - The State DE Peter Woods, Fr/2027 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* () - Recruiting Grade: 5* (00) > Clemson Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, Clemson Player News & Notes News Source: The State, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/07/23 - DT Jacobian Guillory, rJr/2025, LSU + More +      After joining the defensive line rotation as a redshirt freshman, Jacobian Guillory stayed there last year. He started twice, but he fell far behind the snap counts of starters Mekhi Wingo and Jaquelin Roy. Guillory finished with 14 tackles and one quarterback hurry. In his career, he has 23 tackles, two tackles for loss and a half-sack. This is a pivotal offseason for Guillory. On top of Wingo and Maason Smith, LSU signed West Virginia transfer Jordan Jefferson and Florida transfer Jalen Lee. They added depth, but there are available snaps this spring. Wingo (shoulder) and Smith (knee) are limited as they recover from injuries, giving Guillory and others the chance to assert themselves. - Baton Rouge Advocate DT Jacobian Guillory, rJr/2025 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* (00) - Recruiting Grade: 4* (28) > LSU Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, LSU Player News & Notes News Source: Baton Rouge Advocate, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/07/23 - RB Ashton Jeanty, Fr/2026, Boise State + More +      Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty posted a career-high 178 rushing yards in the Broncos' 35-32 win over North Texas in the Frisco Bowl. Jeanty, a sophomore who played at Lone Star High in Texas, posted 821 yards and seven touchdowns last season. Since then, he's made the Broncos' weight room a second home. He's benching 335 pounds and squatting more than 500, and he said Monday that he's ready to build on last year. "Last year was a lot of learning and growing," Jeanty said. "I learned to push through and adapt to things. Whatever opportunities I get this year, I'm going to make the most of them and help the team win." George Holani decided to put the NFL on hold for a year and return for his redshirt senior season, but he's rehabbing from a shoulder injury and is limited at spring practice, opening the door for Jeanty to hog the starting reps. - Idaho Statesman RB Ashton Jeanty, Fr/2026 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* (00) - Recruiting Grade: 3* (144) > Boise State Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, Boise State Player News & Notes News Source: Idaho Statesman, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/07/23 - CB Cormani McClain, Fr/2027, Colorado + More +      Getting two of the best young cornerbacks in the country to come to Boulder was the first step. Now, the Colorado coaches have to get them ready to play. "Those guys are young and they've got a lot of technique work that they need to work on, but that's what I'm here for," CU cornerbacks coach Kevin Mathis said during a press conference last week. "Those guys" could include the Buffaloes' entire cornerback group in general, but more specifically, it will be Travis Hunter and Cormani McClain in the spotlight. Hunter was rated the No. 1 prospect in the nation for the class of 2022 before signing with Jackson State to play for head coach Deion Sanders and Mathis. After a year at JSU, Hunter is now at CU after Sanders took over as the Buffaloes' head coach in December. McClain is ranked as the No. 1 cornerback in the class of 2023 and had been committed to Miami before Sanders took the job at CU. He flipped to the Buffs last month and will arrive in Boulder this summer. A lot of football coaches talk about building a defense from the inside (defensive line and linebackers) out. But, not at CU. "We're probably the only place in America that's gonna start from the outside-in with our corners, because that's who (Sanders) is, that's what we want to build our brand on," Mathis said. "We want to make sure our guys on the outside are locked down and we've got two good ones. "Now, they need work and they're going to get work, but we've got two good ones on the outside that's gonna allow us do what we need to do on the inside of the defense to make plays." - Daily Camera CB Cormani McClain, Fr/2027 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* () - Recruiting Grade: 5* (00) > Colorado Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, Colorado Player News & Notes News Source: Daily Camera, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/07/23 - DE Jack Sawyer, Jr/2025, Ohio State + More +      Where is Jack Sawyer? The former five-star recruit never really took that Year 2 jump some may have anticipated. His raw numbers were fine for a player who was third on the OSU defensive end hierarchy - 24 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and a team-high 4.5 sacks on 329 snaps - but there was never that big moment we saw from guys like Michael Hall Jr. and J.T. Tuimoloau. Sawyer arrived as a guy known for getting after the passer and when he's been asked to do so he's shown flashes of his upside. The problem is that his second year was spent splitting time between continuing his development as an edge rusher while also learning a new position in Jim Knowles' defense. The intrigue with the Jack and what it could be once turned into a Leo is part of what made the Knowles' hire noteworthy. The problem is we never really saw that come to fruition in 2022 and it's fair to question if that's a result of Sawyer possibly not being the best fit. "It can definitely present problems being able to show different fronts, which I think is key to what the Jack does," Sawyer said before the Sugar Bowl. "But I also feel like we can be really effective in just our base front getting after guys." Sawyer is coming into Year 3 expected to start alongside Tuimoloau. Does that mean he spends less time at the Jack, or could we see that role become a bigger part of the defense now that he's been learning it for a year? - Cleveland Plain Dealer DE Jack Sawyer, Jr/2025 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* (00) - Recruiting Grade: 5* (02) > Ohio State Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, Ohio State Player News & Notes News Source: Cleveland Plain Dealer, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here

03/07/23 - DT Maason Smith, rSo/2026, LSU + More +      LSU football defensive lineman Maason Smith will be a non-contact participant during spring practices, coach Brian Kelly told ESPN on Monday. "Getting him back defensively will be a big, big plus for us," Kelly said. Smith tore his ACL during the first series of the year against Florida State on Sept. 3 while celebrating a tackle by a teammate. His absence left a defensive line already short on bodies even less deep, and LSU had to rely heavily on Missouri transfer Mekhi Wingo and Jaquelin Roy for the rest of the season. As a freshman in 2021, Smith had 19 total tackles and four sacks in seven games. He was a five-star recruit in the 2021 class and the No. 20 player in the nation out of Terrebonne High School in Houma, according to the 247Sports Composite. Smith's pending return, combined with the additions of Jalen Lee (Florida), Jordan Jefferson (West Virginia) and Paris Shand (Arizona) from the transfer portal, should make the interior of the Tigers' defensive line much deeper in 2023. - Lafayette Daily Advertiser DT Maason Smith, rSo/2026 Draft Class - Pro Scouting Grade: 0* (00) - Recruiting Grade: 5* (06) > LSU Roster/Recruiting/Scouting, LSU Player News & Notes News Source: Lafayette Daily Advertiser, Share/Comment/External News Feed: Here
