  TCU star running back Kendre Miller officially declared for the 2023 NFL draft on Monday. Miller posted a video to his Instagram, which included a thank you to TCU fans. Miller was one of the best running backs in the country and was a first team All-Big 12 selection. The junior rushed for 1,399 yards and 17 touchdowns, averaging 6.2 yards per carry. He scored a touchdown in 13 straight games this season.

Miller, who missed the national championship game vs. Georgia with a knee injury, is likely to be one of the top running backs picked due to his blend of size and speed. The 6-foot, 220 pound back led one of the most explosive rushing attacks in the country and had a carry of at least 50 yards in four games this season. In his three year career with TCU Miller rushed for over 2,400 yards and 26 touchdowns. Miller is the latest Horned Frog to declare for the NFL draft. - Fort Worth Star-Telegram

  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 those 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 Olusegun 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 offensive 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

  University of Georgia offensive lineman Warren McClendon was one of two passengers injured in a fatal crash on Saturday night that claimed the lives of 20-year-old Georgia football player Devin Willock and 24-year-old recruitment analyst Chandler LeCroy, according to an article from the Athens Banner-Herald. The car veered off of Barnett Shoals Road and hit two power poles and several trees early Sunday morning.

McClendon was one of two passengers in the car who sustained injuries but remains in stable condition, according to an Athens-Clarke County Police Department press release. McClendon only needed a few stitches in his forehead, according to the article. McClendon declared for the NFL draft on Saturday, just hours after Georgia's national championship celebration took place. The 6-foot-4, 300-pound player has spent four years playing for Georgia, during which he started 37 games on the offensive line. - RedandBlack.com

  Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson, coming off an injury-hampered 2022 season, thinks he is ready for a challenge in 2023. And he may get one. Running back Miyan Williams announced he would return instead of pursuing the NFL. Dallan Hayden impressed as a freshman. Henderson welcomes the challenge. "I want it bad," he said. "I'll do anything, and I'm going to definitely do what I've got to do. Some people know who I am, and I'm going to definitely show that again next year." - Columbus Dispatch

  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 super-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 recording 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 back. 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 three 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

  Heading into the opening of the transfer portal, the defensive backfield appeared to be the clear emphasis for the SMU Mustangs. Now Rhett Lashlee and Co. have added a secondary's worth of players. Former LSU corner Jaelyn Davis-Robinson announced his commitment to SMU on Thursday, becoming the sixth defensive back transfer SMU has added and the Mustangs' 14th overall transfer commitment. Davis-Robinson, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound prospect, played at DeSoto and finished his career at Waxahachie. He also ran track in high school. He had a wind-aided 10.5 in the 100-meter dash. - Dallas Morning News

  After three standout seasons at defensive end for Kansas State, Anudike-Uzomah made the highly-anticipated announcement Thursday via social media that he is bypassing his senior season and will enter the 2023 NFL draft. Anudike-Uzomah, a 6-foot-4, 255-pound junior from Kansas City, Missouri, arrived at K-State for the 2020 season as an unheralded recruit from Lee's Summit High School. He made it on the field for five games as a true freshman but really broke out the following year to become one of the most dominant edge rushers in Wildcat history. Running back Deuce Vaughn also declared for the draft as did wide receiver Malik Knowles and cornerback Julius Brents, both seniors who were eligible to return as super-seniors. Senior receiver Phillip Brooks announced Tuesday that he will take advantage of the extra year granted in response to the coronavirus pandemic. - Topeka Capital Journal

  The top-rated player in Alabama's 2018 recruiting class is looking to transfer to a fifth different school. Eyabi Okie, who was known as Eyabi Anoma when he signed with Alabama as a five-star recruit more than five years ago, entered the NCAA transfer portal on Thursday, On3 Sports and the Detroit Free Press reported. Okie is a graduate transfer. Okie was the No. 4-rated player nationally in 247 Sports' composite when he signed with Alabama on Dec. 20, 2017.

He played in 12 games as a freshman in 2018, earning all-freshman SEC honors after recording two tackles for a loss. But Okie was later suspended by Alabama and entered the transfer portal before the 2019 season, landing that season at Houston. 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 opportunity 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 request. 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

  Utah Utes tight end Brant Kuithe will be returning once again. Kuithe announced on social media Monday morning that he will play for the Utes in 2023 instead of entering his name in April's NFL draft. The news comes as Kuithe, Utah's most important receiving target, played in just four games in 2022 after he tore his ACL Sept. 24 against Arizona State.

Kuithe returned to the Utes in 2022 after it appeared he could have been a relatively high draft pick last spring. The 2023 season will be Kuithe's fifth as a Ute. A native of Katy, Texas, the 6-foot-2, 219-pounder was named to the All-Pac-12 second team for three consecutive seasons from 2019-2021 before getting hurt this fall. In his career, Kuithe has tallied 148 receptions for 1,882 yards with 16 touchdowns. - Deseret News
