SMU dipped into the transfer portal once again on Tuesday, adding a commitment from former Texas offensive lineman Logan Parr.

Missouri's Hyrin White and Texas A&M's PJ Williams previously committed to play for the Mustangs. Parr, a 6-foot-4, 314-pound lineman, played in 16 games over three seasons at Texas. The former four-star recruit played mostly in reserve action and on field goal attempts. - Da llas Morning News

The two decisions, which each individual announced via Twitter on Monday, to stay put give the team a chance to repeat (or better) its '22 win total and again compete for the Big Ten West title. Both Newton and Randolph are high-motor guys who put consta nt pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Both will be considered for national awards. The decisions certainly put a smile on the face of new defensive coordinator Aaron Henry. Newton and Randolph help to bolster the Illini's defensive line for 2023 amid the losses of Calvin Avery and Jamal Woods, each of whom declared for the NFL draft earlier this month. - News Gazette Tribune

Ohio State wide receiver Kamryn Babb announced on Tuesday he won't return next season, forgoing the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA to all players in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. "I'm excited to start the next chapter that God has for me by sharing my story with the world," Babb said in a video posted on his social media accounts. Injuries, which included four anterior cruciate ligament surgeries, mired much of Babb's five seasons with the Buckeyes, but his perseverance ma de him an inspiration to teammates and led him to twice be selected as one of the team captains.Babb also became the recipient of the Block "O" jersey this past fall, an honor given in recent seasons in recognition of legendary Ohio State lineman Bill Willis. He caught his first career pass late in a blowout win over Indiana in November when quarterback C.J. Stroud found him in a corner of the end zone for an 8-yard touchdown. A mob of teammates immediately mobbed him in celebration. - Columbus D ispatch

After tearing up Conference USA as a sophomore in 2022, UTEP wide receiver Tyrin Smith entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Monday. Smith made the announcement on his social media pages, thanking the university and the city of El Paso in doing so. The Cib olo, Texas, native has two years of NCAA eligibility remaining. Smith broke out in 2022 for UTEP, catching 71 passes for 1,039 yards and seven touchdowns as the Miners went 5-7, narrowly missing out on a second straight trip to a bowl game.This is the second year in a row that Smith has entered the Portal; he went in last offseason, before electing to return to UTEP. It's also the second season in a row that the Miners will lose their top two wide receivers (Rey Flores graduated in 2022). In 2021 , UTEP lost Jacob Cowing (transferred to Arizona) and Justin Garrett (graduation). - KTSM

Michigan football is set to get back another key cog up front on offense. Starting left guard Trevor Keegan, a big part of the Wolverines' Joe Moore Award-winning offensive line last season, announced Thursday plans to return in 2023. In a post on social media, the 6-foot-6, 305-pound lineman said he is "thrilled to get back to work with my teammates and get rolling." "Making it to the NFL has been a dream of mine ever since I picked up a football," Keegan wrote. "With a lot of thought and talking to th ose closest to me, there is more I want to achieve personally and collectively as a team."Keegan had been on the fence about leaving; he was a senior in 2022 and just as well declared for the NFL draft like his fellow linemen Ryan Hayes and Oluseg un Oluwatimi. Yet, he still has two years of eligibility left after redshirting his freshman season in 2019 and playing through the pandemic-shortened year of 2020. Keegan rose up the depth chart and earned a starting role in 2021, just as Michigan’s o ffensive line became a bedrock of the offense. He was a shoe-in to start at left guard this past year, and did so in 11 of the Wolverines’ 14 games, missing three due to injury. - Michigan Live

Kansas State's football team got a lot better on defense Saturday, and that's not even counting a key transfer portal addition. Middle linebacker Daniel Green, a preseason All-Big 12 pick, announced via social media that he is returning next year as a su per-senior after an injury-plagued 2022 season."I have thought long and hard about leaving and entering the 2023 NFL draft," he wrote. "After a season plagued by injury and not being 100% for most of the year, I wanted to finish my college career playing my best ball. See y'all in the fall." Green, a 6-foot-3, 242-pound senior from Portland, briefly entertained thoughts of leaving after a breakout junior year in 2021 when he led the team in tackles with 89 and tackles for loss with 16, while reco rding three sacks and two fumble recoveries. But he decided to return after an 8-5 season in hopes of helping the Wildcats win a conference championship. - Salina Journal

Georgia coach Kirby Smart had a good-natured complaint to fans when celebrating the Bulldogs' back-to-back national championships with a parade and ceremony for the second straight year on Saturday. "You didn't tell me last year we were going back to bac k. Wow!" said a smiling Smart. Smart referenced a quote from legendary UCLA coach John Wooden when he said winning the second straight national title for the first time in school history was more difficult than ending the Bulldogs' 41-year title drought in 2021."Winning takes talent," Smart said before adding, "but to repeat takes character." Saturday's parade led the team to Sanford Stadium, where many fans held up three fingers as they looked ahead to the goal of a threepeat. No team has won th ree consecutive national championships in the AP poll era, which dates to 1936. "We can't wait to see what lies ahead for this team," Smart said. "This team will have to be hungry because a lot of this team is coming back." - AP College Football

The top-rated player in Alabama's 2018 recruiting class is looking to transfer to a fifth different school.

But Houston dismissed him after the 2019 season and, after sitting out the 2020 season, he later joined Tennessee-Martin for the 2021 season. Okie transferred again to Michigan before the 2022 season, changing his last name to honor his mother. He finished this season with 2.5 sacks for the Wolverines . - Birmingham News

Michigan football star Mazi Smith admitted to his mistakes in front of Ann Arbor's 15th District Court Judge Karen Quinlan Valvo on Thursday afternoon and said that he learned his lesson during his sentencing for a misdemeanor gun crime. "I've had an opp ortunity to learn," said Smith. "I learned immediately in the back of a police car, but I had an opportunity to turn this into a lesson quickly." Valvo sentenced Smith to 12 months of probation, under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act (HYTA).The act gives young adults a chance at avoiding a criminal record if they successfully complete the conditions given to them. Smith's attorney, John Shea, originally asked for the 12-month probation to be reduced to six months but Judge Valvo rejected the reque st. Instead, she told Smith that if he completes six months with no violations he can request an early discharge. As of now, he is set to appear again Dec. 28 for his final discharge. - The Detroit News
