WVU officially adds Georgia quarterback transfer JT Daniels: WVU coach Neal Brown announced JT Daniels, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound redshirt senior quarterback from Irvine, Calif., signed a grant-in-aid and will transfer to WVU from Georgia. Though he is liste d as a senior, Daniels has two years of eligibility remaining due to the free COVID year granted by the NCAA. Daniels is a former 5-star prospect, reuniting with Graham Harrell, who served as his offensive coordinator at USC in 2019. Harrell now holds th e same position with the Mountaineers. Injuries have derailed Daniels' time at his previous two stops.After being named the starting QB at USC in 2018, where he started 11 games as a true freshman, an ACL injury the following season forced him to the bench. Kedon Slovis, who is now projected to be the starter at Pitt, took over and played well, forcing Daniels to hit the transfer portal. Daniels and Slovis could meet head-to-head Sept. 1 when the Backyard Brawl resumes at Heinz Field. Daniels, at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, transferred to Georgia, but his recovery caused him to miss the early part of the 2020 season, but he did start the final four games, including a Peach Bowl victory over Cincinnati. - Dominion Post

Wide receiver Bru McCoy, a Southern Cal transfer and former five-star recruit, has committed to Tennessee. It could be a win-win situation, that is, if the nature of McCoy's exit from USC isn't an issue. The Vols get a talented 6-foot-3, 220-pound target to add to their offense, which was the highest scoring in program history last season. And McCoy gets a fresh start after a turbulent three years at USC that included a transfer, illness, arrest, removal from the roster, Title IX investigation and anoth er transfer. In December 2018, McCoy was the No. 1 athlete, by position, and No. 9 overall player in his recruiting class when he signed with USC, according to 247Sports Composite. But he transferred to Texas and then back to USC in spring 2019.Mc Coy redshirted in the 2019 season because of an unspecified illness. In 2020, he made an immediate impact with 21 receptions for 236 yards and two TDs in six games during a COVID-shortened season. In 2021, McCoy was named to the preseason Pac-12 team by numerous publications. But his July 24 arrest on suspicion of felony intimate partner violence derailed his season. The Los Angeles district attorney's office declined to file charges against McCoy, citing "insufficient evidence." - Knoxville News Sentin el

Caleb Chandler has what it takes to be an NFL offensive lineman this year though he might not have been a first-round pick. The 6-foot-4 and 300-pound lineman is a versatile player but he's also very fundamentally sound. A first-team All-ACC honoree last season, Chandler returns with a lot of experience, but also NFL upside. He has the chance to vault himself into a high-end pick as well and be the first offensive lineman selected since Mekhi Becton went in the first round to the New York Jets. - Courie r Journal

The pass was completed and a teammate already had South Carolina receiver Josh Vann wrapped, but Sherrod Greene ran over to help get Vann to the ground. Quarterback Luke Doty took another snap and couldn't find his man, so he kept the ball and began to r un. Greene, a mischievous grin stretched around his mouthpiece, bee-lined toward him on an arrow's trajectory. Doty knew he was supposed to step out of bounds and did, which was fine. Greene wasn't really going to smack him. Probably. "Pretty much, my ma in goal is just staying healthy," South Carolina's "super senior" sixth-year linebacker said. "I know if I have a full complete season, I got big plans ahead of me." His energy and unfettered enthusiasm in the Gamecocks' Garnet and Black Spring Game were n't surprising.It's what head coach Shane Beamer wants to see no matter if it's a meaningless scrimmage. But after playing in only four games over the past two seasons, Greene learned that every chance to play can't be discounted. He's spent far t oo much time on the sideline, willing to give up anything he'd be asked to sacrifice if he could get just one more play. "Having back-to-back season-ending injuries, it can take a toll on you. I had good support in my corner," he said. "My family and my mom kept my head on straight. It wasn't as bad as it may seem, but it was a good trial for me." - The Post and Courier

UCLA defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia already knew he was going to the Chargers before they picked him in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft Saturday. The Chargers selected the 6-foot-3, 324-pound Ogbonnia with the 160th overall pick. The four-year UCL A standout has the size and strength to develop into a stout run stopper, something the Chargers need more of after a disappointing season against the run.Ogbonnia, who played in 43 games with the Bruins, said he enjoyed the vibe from Chargers' co aches after their productive meeting. "I always knew I was going to the Chargers ever since I visited them," Ogbonnia said. "I had a feeling I was going there. I kinda manifested it in a way where I didn't almost jinx myself, but it ended up happening an d I'm forever grateful for it. "The vibe I got, something just told me, ‘This is the place I can be most successful and the place I needed to be.' Just being under that staff, being under that defense, somewhere where I can really excel. It kinda went both ways. I think they saw it out of me and I saw it out of them. I knew it was going to be my top destination that I wanted to go to." - Orange County Register

Quarterback Cam Rising said despite being the defending Pac-12 champs, the team still has a chip on its shoulder. "You have to go out there and attack it. That's what the coaches have told us to do. Yeah, we won it last year and that doesn't mean that th is year's trophy is in our case right now just sitting there," he said. "We have to go out there and attack it and treat it the same way we did last year so that we're going about it the right way and making sure we get back to the championship and go wi n it." Much of the optimism surrounding the 2022 campaign can be attributed to the return of Rising. "We know Cam's our guy. We've just got to work those guys behind him and see what happens," coach Kyle Whittingham said. "We have a first-team all-confer ence quarterback coming back to lead us. That's a huge positive for us." - Deseret News

Running back Brenden Brady is planning to return to UTSA for a fifth year, he announced on social media, providing a boost at a position of need for the Roadrunners. A Steele product who totaled 1,052 yards and eight touchdowns in four years at UTSA, Bra dy took to Twitter on Monday to post an image of the words "I'm back" with the Roadrunners' #210TriangleofToughness hashtag. The post was shared by head coach Jeff Traylor and other members of the staff. Brady did not participate in spring practice for U TSA this month, posting after graduating in December that he would be "starting my future endeavors" rather than returning to the program. His decision to pursue a final season comes after injuries through spring practice left the Roadrunners searching f or answers to replace Sincere McCormick, who announced in December that he would be leaving UTSA early to enter the NFL draft. - Express-News

Defensive tackle Joseph Evans, who wasn't listed on LSU's roster during spring practice, entered the NCAA transfer portal Tuesday, according to multiple reports. Evans left LSU midseason last year, but he announced over the winter he would return to the team. Not on the roster, Evans didn't participate in spring practice. Evans, who briefly played offensive line earlier in his career when LSU needed more depth, made 28 tackles over three seasons. He appeared in 16 games with nine starts. A three-star re cruit from Haynesville, Evans played in four low-profile games his freshman season. He then started five times in 2020, carving out a larger role on the defensive line heading into his junior year. Evans started four of LSU's first five games last season . He recorded eight tackles, including two for a loss, before leaving the team. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Terrel Bernard wasn't just a three-time all-Big 12 linebacker, he was a tremendous leader with an exemplary work ethic that made his Baylor teammates want to follow. Talk about going out with a bang: In Baylor's 21-7 Sugar Bowl win over Ole Miss, Bernard amassed a career-high 20 tackles and two sacks in his final game as a senior. Those are Mike Singletary numbers.With Bernard gone, fifth-year senior Dillon Doyle is the obvious next man up to take over the leadership role for Baylor's linebackers . "It's a pleasure, it's great to just have that guy around," said Baylor defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach Ron Roberts. "Not just what he provides as a good player, but what he provides from a leadership standpoint and how to do things. He's first-class in everything. I can't say enough about him, and you guys know that." After transferring from Iowa, Doyle has started for Baylor for the past two seasons. He's coming off a tremendous junior year as he ranked second behind Bernard with 89 tackles with nine for loss along with an interception and a forced fumble. Nicknamed Diesel, Doyle even stepped in at fullback occasionally on the goal line as he ran for a touchdown and caught a touchdown pass. He's more than ready to take over leade rship roles that Bernard and All-America safety Jalen Pitre carried last season for Baylor's defense. - Waco Tribune Herald
