  MARCH 15 BIG SOUTH DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Kennesaw State linebacker Bryson Armstrong led the KSU defense with eight tackles (five solo), in addition to 2.5 tackles-for-loss for minus-17 yards, and 1.5 sacks (-13). His effort helped the Owls limit the Buccaneers to 244 yards of offense and just 84 on the ground. Armstrong's first stop behind the line led to a 3rd-and-long play and eventual punt. His first sack was on a third down that forced a punt, and his second sack was for a nine-yard loss on first down. - Big South Football

  Percy Agyei-Obese's 8-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter lifted FCS top-ranked James Madison to a 20-17 victory over Elon in a Colonial Athletic Association opener on Saturday. The go-ahead touchdown came after James Madison blocked a punt to start a drive at the 33-yard line, fumbled the ball away five plays later at the Elon 10 then recovered a fumble on the next play, also at the Phoenix 10. Two plays later Agyuei-Obese went in untouched for the go-ahead score with 7 1/2 minutes remaining. Elon went three-and-out on its next possession then James Madison consumed the final six minutes on the ground. The Dukes (3-0, 1-0) went 1 of 9 on third-down conversions through three quarters but backup quarterback Gage Moloney came on to lead both fourth-quarter Dukes touchdown drives, passing 18 yards to Antwane Wells to close within 17-13. Ethan Ratke kicked two field goals for the Dukes, who were ranked No. 1 this week for the first time since 2017. - James Madison/AP College Football

  The last time we saw Landon Dickerson on the football field, he was three weeks removed from season-ending knee surgery and finagled his way into Alabama's national championship win over Ohio State. On Thursday, the former Alabama center told GMFB on the NFL Network all things point to a full recovery prior to the start of what will be his rookie NFL season. "I'm doing phenomenal when it comes to recovery," he said. "I'm right on track with where I need to be. We feel comfortable. The medical staff, the training staff, we feel very comfortable that I should be ready this coming season." Dickerson was carted off the field during the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 19. - Birmingham News

  There was no particular moment during the 2020 season when Jackson Carman knew it would be his last year at Clemson. Shortly after the Tigers lost to Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl, Carman made the choice to turn pro and enter the NFL Draft. Carman officially announced his choice on Jan. 6 after talking it over with people close to him. "Just felt like I was ready physically and mentally and maturity wise," Carman told The State. "Feel like this is a good opportunity for me. I still have the ability to get my degree and everything. So I think it was the right move for me."

Carman has been training in Dallas as he prepares for the NFL Draft and for Clemson's Pro Day, which takes place on Thursday. He's been focused on improving all areas of his game while working out in Dallas. "I feel like for me personally there's not one singular thing that I feel like is the biggest deficiency," Carman said. "I feel like every single part of my game needs work, and I'm working on every single part - whether it's physical, technique, mental. Every single thing I'm putting in tons of effort and work towards building myself holistically as a player." - The State

  University of Arkansas offensive lineman Noah Gatlin is retiring from football after a lengthy run of medical issues, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette has learned. Gatlin, a redshirt sophomore in 2020, won the job at right tackle last season and started the first five games there. He suffered a concussion and did not return to action the rest of the season and was replaced by Dalton Wagner, the 12-game starter at right tackle in 2019. A Jonesboro native, Gatlin has fought through medical issues as a Razorback. He suffered a torn knee ligament on the first day of fall camp in 2019 and missed the entire season while rehabbing from the injury. - Northwest Arkansas Times

  Last week, D.J. Uiagalelei's phone buzzed with a text from a friend who was in Santa Monica, Calif., and needed a restaurant recommendation. Uiagalelei hails from nearby Bellflower. "I told him there's a really good seafood place out there," Uiagalelei said. The friend, it should be noted, was Trevor Lawrence, the former Clemson star quarterback and Uiagalalei's predecessor. The tip represented a role reversal for the two: Lawrence spent last season dispensing advice to Uiagalelei. But now the Tigers are Uiagalelei's team and the sophomore is intent on taking Clemson back to the College Football Playoff, while using Lawrence as a blueprint.

That process started last week at the onset of spring practice. "The biggest thing I took was how he handled everything," Uiagalelei said. "How committed he is to being the best person on the field and off the field." Uiagalelei said he is pushing himself to be more of a vocal leader, though it is more in his nature to lead by example, as Lawrence did. Lawrence was always on time, Uiagalelei said, and always completed his schoolwork. That's the standard Uiagalelei is working toward. "I want to be the most accountable guy on the team," he said. - Charleston Post Courier

  Bret Bielema tweeted late Monday morning about "unexpected good news coming," capping the post with Illinois football's new "#famILLy" hashtag. Mere minutes later, that good news revealed itself. Linebacker Jake Hansen is returning to the Illini for a sixth season of college football, he announced Monday through the Illinois football Twitter account. Hansen in December 2020 declared for the NFL draft. "The 2020 football season wasn't exactly how I imagined my time at Illinois to end," Hansen said in a video clip. "After extensive talks with Coach Bielema and the University of Illinois staff, I've decided that I have unfinished business in the orange and blue. I'm excited to get back up to Champaign and get to work with my teammates and my new coaches. Go Illini." Hansen is the second Illini upperclassman to reverse course after announcing a departure from the program this offseason. Defensive lineman Owen Carney Jr. announced in December that he was entering the transfer portal before determining in January that he would come back to Illinois. - News Gazette Tribune

  If things go according to plan, Justyn Ross will be back for Clemson in 2021. And he'll be at a new position: slot wide receiver. Many expected the 6-4, 205-pound Ross to slide in as the team's boundary receiver, but coach Dabo Swinney on Monday said otherwise. Ross is expected to be ready for the start of the campaign after missing all of last season following surgery for a congenital fusion in his spine. "We're back in business there at wideout," coach Dabo Swinney said. "Justyn can play all three spots, and he will, but if we played today and he was cleared to play, he would start at that slot."

The decision is as much a testament to Ross' versatility as Clemson's depth, Swinney said. He labeled Ross and juniors Frank Ladson and Justyn Ross - all of whom were limited in 2020 - as "elite," and he wants all three on the field. Ross's unique skillset allows the coaching staff to make that happen. "His lateral quickness and explosiveness in and out of cuts, that's one of Justyn's gifts," Swinney said. "He's (former Clemson slot receiver Hunter) Renfrow-esque when it comes to his lateral ability. - Charleston Post Courier

  MARCH 1 MISSOURI VALLEY DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: DE Kevin Ellis, Missouri State, 6-4, 241, Jr., Fort Worth (Texas) North Crowley High,...Ellis was everywhere for an MSU defense that allowed just 48 rushing yards on 30 carries at Western Illinois on Saturday. In the final five minutes of the game, Ellis was responsible for two forced turnovers on WIU's last two possessions, snagging a one-handed interception to halt a Leatherneck rally before forcing a fumble and turnover on WIU's final play of the game to secure MSU's victory. Ellis also had a possession-ending sack in the first half and finished the contest with 6 total stops, 5 solo tackles, 2.0 sacks, 2.0 tackles for loss, an interception and a forced fumble in MSU's first win of the Petrino era. - Missouri Valley Conference Football
