Google "Alabama quarterback" and "beloved," and the results are like a rundown of recent Crimson Tide QBs. Stories about Jalen Hurts, Blake Sims, AJ McCarron and Tua Tagovailoa instantly pop up. But not all football fans are enamored with the Alabama sig nal-callers. The Tide has its Iron Bowl opponent and 12 other SEC rivals. Then there's seemingly annual postseason foe Clemson and other teams of national stature that Alabama has butted heads with along the championship trail. So Tagovailoa could speak from personal experience when he gave advice about dealing with social-media trolls during the Miami Dolphins' annual High School Media Day."For me, going through that in college, it's really however much you decide to go on your social media, fir st off," Tagovailoa said. "If you're on that thing every time, you're obviously going to see whatever anyone says. If there's someone that likes to post just to post because you like the likes or you like the comments, you're going to see that. There's b een instances where I ran into a lot of them, but I don't know - I guess the structure that I've had growing up, it's been easy to deal with sort of things like that. Having the structure of my family and then our faith as well, that's kind of what's hel ped me and helped me to not worry about those kind of things." - Birmingham News

Lincoln police are looking for former Nebraska football player Maurice Washington after he was reported missing late last week. LPD officer Erin Spilker said an out-of-state family member reported Washington, 20, missing Friday. LPD did not release any o ther details on Washington's status. Washington was dismissed from the Nebraska football team in January. He played two seasons with the Huskers and was suspended multiple times. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor revenge porn charge in California in March after he allegedly sent a sexually explicit video to a girl who appeared in the video and was underage at the time it was made. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and two years probation. Washington played in just five games in 2019 and left the team after an October loss to Minnesota and didn't return before his dismissal from the program. - Lincoln Journal Star

Levi Draper's familiarity with the Arkansas Razorbacks predates long before his announcement in early February that he'd be coming to Fayetteville to play football. Draper hails from Collinsville, Okla., which is a short trip north of Tulsa. The drive ea st from Collinsville to Fayetteville takes about as long as the one he so often took southwest to Norman, Okla., where Draper, a 6-1, 234-pound linebacker, used to play for the Oklahoma Sooners. Draper grew up with a fair amount of Razorback fans around him, and he knew of people who went to the University of Arkansas from his own area. One of those was Keon Hatcher, who, like Draper, is from the Tulsa area. Hatcher, who played at Owasso High School, was a wide receiver for the Razorbacks from 2012-16 b efore going on to play briefly in the NFL. Draper followed the success Hatcher had on the Hill.After deciding to transfer from the Sooners in January, Arkansas made too much sense to pass up. "It just had a real family feel to it," said Draper, wh o took an unofficial visit to Fayetteville on Feb. 1 before orally committing three days later on Feb. 4. "As soon as I walked in the building, everyone's treated like family, everyone's treated with respect. It didn't seem like a visit, nothing like tha t - it seemed like people in that building genuinely care. "I felt like that left a great impression on me and even more so on my parents. I felt like it was a great fit." - Northwest Arkansas Times

Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores said earlier this month that the coaching staff was eager to work with the NFL team's rookies, particularly first-round draft pick Tua Tagovailoa. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Dolphins' facility in Davie, Flo rida, was off-limits to the team's coaches and most of the players as Miami conducted its offseason program online. "Specific to Tua, he's working hard," Flores said on June 4. "He's picking up the information. But you want to get your hands on him, quit e honestly." Now the Dolphins can. The South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Tagovailoa arrived for work at the Dolphins' headquarters on Monday after relocating from Alabama, giving team personnel their first chance to evaluate first-hand his progress fro m a hip injury since Miami selected the Crimson Tide quarterback with the fifth choice in the NFL Draft on April 23. - Birmingham News

Members of the Oregon State football team were able to work out together at the school's facilities Thursday. The Beavers hit the weight room and completed training sessions with some parameters in place due to the COVID-19 outbreak. It was the first tim e since the pandemic hit that the players were able to work out with each other. "It was good to be back," redshirt junior quarterback Tristan Gebbia said. "It felt awesome to be back with my teammates. We were all missing each other." The athletes were tested for the virus earlier in the week. They went through the COVID-19 nasal swab test and had blood drawn. All test results were not ready on Thursday and information on any positive readings could be available as soon as Friday. "We all got tested a couple days ago and everybody in workouts (Thursday) didn't have COVID-19," Gebbia said.Safety David Morris said he and some teammates already had a feel for the workout plan after making a trip to the facility earlier in the week. "We had to go t hrough a whole extensive thing to even get into the facility," Morris, a redshirt junior, said, "So I felt really good having that kind of precaution just to even walk through the doors of Valley Football Center. "With the workouts, our strength staff wa s doing everything they can to make sure we're staying safe and I felt comfortable doing the workout and they got us always six feet apart and they got us wearing a mask and I felt good for our first day of workouts." - Gazette Times

Former Iowa sophomore linebacker Dillon Doyle announced Thursday that he's transferring to Baylor. Doyle is the son of former Iowa strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle, who reached a separation agreement with Iowa on Monday after allegations from former players that he had made racial comments to them. Dillon Doyle announced his decision to transfer to Baylor on Twitter. He will have to redshirt in 2020 under NCAA transfer rules unless he can obtain a waiver from the NCAA. "Baylor provides a spec ial situation to be part of a culture with world-class people and coaches every day, and I can't wait to get started," Doyle said. Doyle played in all 13 games for the Hawkeyes in 2019 with three starts, finishing with 23 tackles. He played in four games in 2018, mostly on special teams with two tackles.The 6-3, 237-pound Doyle was a finalist for Iowa high school football Gatorade player of the year at Iowa City in 2017 after he recorded 73 tackles with 12 for loss while also making 19 catches fo r 242 yards and four touchdowns. Doyle is the second transfer linebacker for Baylor since the campus was shut down in mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic. Arkansas State graduate transfer William Bradley-King announced in April that he's transferri ng to Baylor and will be immediately eligible in 2020. - Waco Tribune

Marcus Lattimore spoke loudly on the football field. He's speaking louder now. "We're trying at South Carolina to fight, just like everybody else in America, to fight for equality. These constant reminders that plague South Carolina, of our history, are what holds us back," Lattimore said on Wednesday. "Being reminded of that every day when a black student passes by the Strom Thurmond Center, I don't see that as inclusion, I don't see that as equality, I don't see that as advancing as a society." Lattim ore lent his support to a movement started by 2014 USC graduate Heather Armel, an online business consultant in Denver who also does freelance graphic designs. Armel began a petition asking USC president Bob Caslen to rename the Strom Thurmond Wellness & Fitness Center on campus because of Thurmond's segregationist background.Armel contacted Lattimore and other USC football alums, they threw their support behind it and Lattimore tweeted a statement on Wednesday afternoon. "To celebrate well-known segregationist Strom Thurmond's legacy by keeping his name on our Wellness Center sends a contradicting message to our black students," he said. "We can no longer be held back by those whose ideals represent division. We must continue to fight for equal ity." His statement was copied into tweets from Alshon Jeffery (Philadelphia Eagles), Mike Davis (Carolina Panthers) and Damiere Byrd (New England Patriots), among others. - The Post and Courier

Standing 6-feet-7-inches tall and weighing 235 pounds, Snowden possesses a blend of speed, size and length that makes NFL scouts drool. He finished the 2019 season with 72 tackles, including 11 tackles for loss and five sacks. Long arms aren't just good for tackling - he's broken up 15 passes in the past two seasons. A menace in passing lanes and a disruptor in the backfield, Snowden has started in all 27 of Virginia's games in the past two seasons. Athlon Sports named him a preseason second team All-AC C player entering the 2020 season. He's a star on the gridiron. "Talking to an NFL scout last week, I told him I don't know if I've been around a player that has as much energy as Charles," co-defensive coordinator Kelly Poppinga said in late May. "Every single day Charles shows up, pumping the arms up, hyped up. It doesn't matter if it's a run, if it's a lift, if it's a practice. Charles is always bringing that energy and trying to be contagious with it."Snowden brings the on-field energy in bun ches. Given his commitment on the field and his engagment off it, Snowden earns the respect of his peers. When the massive linebacker speaks, players listen. "You walk into a room and that guy, man, he fills up the room," Poppinga said. "His personality, his character, the presence that he has, the way that he talks - he kind of has this booming voice - kind of carries through the room, so people listen to him when he talks." - Charlottesville Daily Progress

A three-star 2018 prospect out of Iowa City West, Doyle logged 23 tackles as a sophomore this past season for the Hawkeyes. "I'd like to thank my teammates and others in the community for the overwhelming amount of SUPPORT I've received the last few day s," Doyle said in a tweet announcing he was entering the NCAA transfer portal. Since last Friday, black former Hawkeye football players have come forward with allegations of racial discrimination they faced while playing for Iowa, and numerous accounts w ere centered on Chris Doyle. On Saturday, Iowa placed Doyle on indefinite administrative leave. And on Sunday, head coach Kirk Ferentz told reporters that athletic director Gary Barta would coordinate an independent investigation on Iowa's strength and c onditioning program, which Doyle has led since 1999. - Iowa City Press-Citizen

Clemson wide receiver Justyn Ross had surgery Friday for a congenital fusion in his spine that will keep him off the field this upcoming season. Ross said on social media that the operation "went great" and he was ready to get to work to return to footba ll. Ross was hurt in March during spring workouts with what looked like a shoulder injury. But X-rays revealed that two vertebrae in his spine were fused and he had a bulging disc, according to Clemson coach Dabo Swinney.Ross is a 6-foot-4 sophomo re from Phenix City, Alabama led the Tigers with 66 catches last season for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. He was expected to become Clemson's featured receiver after Tee Higgins left for the NFL after this past season. Ross first made his mark as a fre shman, catching 12 passes for 301 yards and three touchdowns in Clemson's two College Football Playoff games on the way to the national championship. Ross was projected as a top-10 selection in the next NFL draft before the injury. - AP College Football
