  The Nebraska football team has added another offensive weapon from the transfer portal, and Casey Thompson knows this one very well. Former Texas wide receiver Marcus Washington announced his commitment to the Huskers on Tuesday. He's a former four-star recruit who visited Nebraska over the weekend. Washington has two years of eligibility remaining, as well as an option to redshirt.

In Austin, he was teammates with Thompson, the quarterback who transferred to Nebraska in January and is projected to start under center when NU opens the season against Northwestern in Ireland on Aug. 27. A 6-foot-2, 190-pounder, Washington caught 25 passes for 366 yards and two touchdowns in three seasons with Texas. In 12 games last fall, including seven starts, he had 18 receptions for 277 yards. - Lincoln Journal Star

  Former LSU defensive lineman Joe Evans officially exited the transfer portal on Sunday evening by committing to the UTSA Roadrunners. Evans played both offensive and defensive line at LSU. In his three-year collegiate career, he racked up 28 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks. Evans came to LSU as a three-star recruit and a top 80 defensive lineman in the 2019 class, according to the On3 Consensus. - On3.com

  You'll be hard pressed to find a college football coach who will turn down the addition of a 300-pound defensive lineman with Division I experience, especially when said player had more solo tackles during the COVID-shortened 2020 season than most returning members of a team's defensive line amassed during a full 2021 campaign. In short: Welcome to Louisville, Jermayne Lole. The 6-foot-2, 305-pound Arizona State transfer announced his commitment to the Cardinals on Friday, just a week after the redshirt senior's official visit to the 502.

Lole's quick turnaround in announcing his commitment speaks volumes of his time with Scott Satterfield and members of the Cardinals' staff, during which he tweeted, "It's different different out here." The former Sun Devil was scheduled to visit Florida on Friday, Texas Tech on May 27 and Oregon on June 3. What did Jermayne Lole do at Arizona State? A three-star prospect out of high school, Lole entered the transfer portal in late April after three seasons with Arizona State. - Courier Journal

  Wide receiver Bru McCoy is looking for a fresh start with Tennessee football just as more information about his turbulent exit from Southern Cal surfaces. McCoy's issues at USC were already widely reported. But a Los Angeles Times investigative report this week shed light on details of his departure, a process that began with his arrest and suspension from USC. McCoy announced his transfer to UT on May 3. But he told 247Sports that he informed UT of his decision in late March. Presumably, UT vetted McCoy's situation in the weeks in between. Per NCAA rule, the university cannot comment on McCoy, a commitment, until he enrolls or files financial aid paperwork, which should occur later this month. McCoy could not be reached for comment.

The circumstances of McCoy's exit from USC are notable in UT's decision to accept his transfer. But they also could factor into his eligibility to play for the Vols in the 2022 season. The NCAA allows players to transfer once without sitting out a season. In spring 2019, McCoy enrolled at USC, transferred to Texas a few weeks later and then transferred back to USC that summer. McCoy would need a waiver from the NCAA to play immediately after transferring to UT. He has three seasons of eligibility remaining. McCoy, a 6-foot-3, 220-pounder, is a talented wide receiver who could help UT's record-breaking offense. The former five-star recruit was expected to be one of the best wideouts in the Pac-12 before his 2021 season was derailed. - Knoxville News Sentinel

  This weekend marks the beginning of official visits for 2023 football recruits, and three prospects will take visits to Lincoln to check out what Nebraska has to offer. So will another athlete out of the transfer portal. Former Texas wide receiver Marcus Washington, who entered the transfer portal on May 1, will make a visit to Lincoln as NU continues to look for reinforcements in its wide receiver room. Washington caught 18 passes for 277 yards last season, largely from the right arm of new Nebraska quarterback Casey Thompson. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder played in 31 games for the Longhorns. Nebraska has already added a pair of transfer wideouts - Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda from New Mexico State and Trey Palmer from LSU. Washington visited Lincoln while being recruited in high school. - Lincoln Journal Star

  Longtime pillars on Washington State's offensive line, Liam Ryan and Abraham Lucas are reuniting in Seattle. Ryan signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent Monday - just over two weeks after Lucas was selected by the franchise in the third round of the NFL draft. Following the draft, the Seahawks asked Ryan to try out at their rookie minicamp. A three-year starter at left tackle for the Cougars who began his collegiate career at left guard, Ryan reportedly auditioned at both spots in Seattle and fared well enough to attain a contract offer. The 6-foot-5, 305-pounder is listed as a tackle on the Seahawks' roster.

He'll join Lucas, a right tackle and 42-game Cougars starter, on Seattle's 90-man roster when the team begins voluntary OTAs next week. Ryan emerged as a vocal leader and dependable piece on the left side of WSU's line as a redshirt sophomore in 2018 and ended up making 42 consecutive starts over the past four years. He played through a torn labrum for part of the 2021 season and missed the Sun Bowl on Dec. 31 after undergoing season-ending surgery. The hip injury affected his offseason training plan and Ryan was a limited participant at WSU's pro day March 28, but he put up a respectable 25 reps on the bench press. - Spokesman-Review

  Syracuse defensive lineman Josh Black has signed with the New Orleans Saints after attending the team's rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, earning a spot on the 90-man roster ahead of training camp later this summer. Black and his agency posted the news on social media Tuesday. Terms of the agreement, including guaranteed money, weren't released. Black becomes the third rookie SU defensive lineman to sign with an NFL team. McKinley Williams and Kingsley Jonathan signed with the Colts and Bills, respectively, immediately after going unselected during the NFL draft. Black wasn't offered a contract after the draft. To earn a contract, he attended rookie minicamp with the Chicago Bears earlier this month before trying out for the Saints' roster this past weekend. - Syracuse.com

  Among Pac-12 schools, only Oregon was worse in defending the pass than OSU. Of course, not all of that is on the DBs, as it starts up front with pressuring the quarterback. But the secondary certainly shares the blame. Star receivers had mixed results against the Beavers. OSU gave up five 100-yard receiving games in September, then had a stretch of five consecutive games where it didn't allow a single 100-yard performance. Wright, thought to be the team's breakout star heading into the season, was inconsistent. It's why he decided to return for his senior season in 2022 rather than try to join his brother Nahshon in the NFL. - The Oregonian

  University of Miami standout safety James Williams is laser focused about being "great.'' He also loves his threads. Williams, the 6-5, 218-pound former nationally heralded five-star recruit out of Plantation American Heritage, has entered the world of Name, Image and Likeness. Represented by marketing agent Eric Dounn of LAA Sports & Entertainment, Williams has signed a two-year merchandise and memorabilia deal to be the "lead ambassador" of CanesWear in Davie.

He is starting his own clothing line that will be promoted and branded as #BeGreat - Williams' well-known slogan on social media. "I'm very excited about it," Williams, who grew up in Opa-locka, told the Miami Herald on Sunday. "I like whatever I wear to stand out - and mean something. For me it will represent the people in this community and hopefully aspire the kids in South Florida to be great." Williams, his marketing agent Eric Dounn of LAA Sports & Entertainment and CanesWear founder Brett Gittelman said the two-year deal with CanesWear is worth "at least $30,000." It will include store appearances, autograph signings, promotional videos and anything else he can do to promote Gittelman and double-UM grad co-owner Ken Graff's business. - Miami Herald

  When Florida State coach Mike Norvell began retooling the Seminoles' roster over the past few seasons, he was looking to add necessary experience and leadership to an otherwise young and raw group of players. Norvell achieved that by adding more than two dozen players through the transfer market. Their presence gave the team a lift, specifically through the performances of players such as Jermaine Johnson II, Keir Thomas, Jashaun Corbin and Devontay Love-Taylor. As the play improved, so did the team's confidence - a noticeable improvement coming out of FSU's spring camp last month.

"You saw confidence because guys understood the expectation," said Norvell. "We were able to push harder, and it wasn't all new for them." The quarterback group showed the most significant growth, with redshirt junior Jordan Travis returning as FSU's starter. After on-again, off-again seasons, Travis also assumes a more prominent leadership role for the Seminoles. "It's probably one of the biggest differences within our program," said Norvell. "Jordan is an incredible young man, but we had yet to see that confidence because there had not been that consistency of him being the guy, being able to go out there and consistently showcase what he could do. We got a glimpse of that last year and you watch how he responded in challenging situations." - Orlando Sentinel
