03/07/23 - TE Erick All, rSr/2024, Iowa + More +

Erick All, a former all-Big Ten honorable mention, had 38 catches for 437 receiving yards in 2021. A back injury that required surgery cut his 2022 season short. His 38 catches in 2021 were the most for a Michigan tight end since Jake Butt had 46 in 2016. "I feel like I'm more of a natural pass-catcher, route-runner," All said. "But I want to be all-around. I want to be a great blocker as well." Now, All is one of the top two tight ends at a school that has had a 50-plus-catch tight end in back-to-back seasons. "They definitely have a recipe with these tight ends," All said. All also has the benefit of already having a rapport with new Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara, who also transferred from Michigan after the 2022 season. "It's always great to have someone around that you're close with and have known for a while," All said. All and McNamara were roommates at Michigan although they are not living together at Iowa. "We grew out of that," All said. - Iowa Press Citizen

03/06/23 - DE Anthony Lucas, Sr/2026, Southern California + More +

USC no longer has the nation's sack leader to lean on, and for a defense that finished among the worst in the nation in spite of Tuli Tuipulotu's presence, that's a scary thought. How the Trojans rebuild that pass rush will be a pressing question this spring. Could Anthony Lucas be the answer? A former five-star prospect, Lucas definitely looks the part at 6-6, 270 pounds, but he barely got on the field as a freshman for Texas A&M. USC is hoping a change of scenery could unlock Lucas. If it doesn't, the options on the edge are awfully limited. Romello Height is returning from an injury. Korey Foreman has yet to figure it out. It gets thin in a hurry after that. - Los Angeles Times

03/02/23 - QB Cameron Rising, rSr/2025, Utah + More +

Kyle Whittingham expects that the next time you see Cam Rising, he will be starting for the University of Utah in the season-opener vs. the University of Florida. The Utes' head coach has been steadfast in that belief in the weeks since Rising exited the Rose Bowl in the third quarter on Jan. 2 with what was later revealed to be a torn left ACL. The opener will be played on either Aug. 31 or Sept. 2, roughly nine months since the injury, which falls in line with what is the general recovery timeline. Whittingham told The Salt Lake Tribune last week in a wide-ranging interview that Rising is on, if not ahead of schedule in his recovery, but there is another factor as far as the timeline goes that isn't being talked about enough.

Is Rising going to be ready for fall camp? If yes, will he be there for all of it? Some of it? Either way, how much of camp does Rising need to participate in for Whittingham to be comfortable putting him out there against the Gators? "To be ready for the opener, he has to get some reps in camp," Whittingham told The Tribune. "Maybe not necessarily the onset of camp, but by midway through camp, so we'll see how things progress. If he's not ready until a few days before the game, it's unlikely he would play in that game because he just wouldn't be completely sharp in all other areas." Utah has not announced a start date for fall camp, but FBS programs can practice 25 times over 29 days leading up to the opener, which would put the Utes' first practice on or about Aug. 2, eight months after the injury occurred. - Salt Lake Tribune

03/02/23 - OLB Harold Perkins Jr., Sr/2026, LSU + More +

LSU will begin spring football practice next week. The team announced Wednesday that practice starts March 9, and it culminates with the spring game April 22 inside Tiger Stadium. LSU said "details and the format" of the last day haven't been determined. Spring ball provides the first glimpse of a team with rising expectations for the second year under coach Brian Kelly. The Tigers likely will be ranked in the preseason top 10 after finishing 10-4 with a Southeastern Conference Western Division title last season. - Baton Rouge Advocate

03/01/23 - OLB Jalen McLeod, rSr/2025, Auburn + More +

App State football released its 2023 schedule featuring a Power Five rematch in Chapel Hill and a Tuesday home game. The Mountaineers are coming off a 6-6 2022 season and will get a fresh start in 2023 with a new slate of games. The season kicks off at Kidd Brewer Stadium Sept. 2 against Gardner-Webb. The two teams last faced off in 2018, where App State won 72-7. After the home opener, the Mountaineers will travel to Chapel Hill Sept. 9 to take on North Carolina. Last season was a game to remember, as UNC narrowly won 63-61. This matchup will be the most anticipated non-conference game as the Tar Heels will have 2022 ACC Player of the Year, sophomore Drake Maye at quarterback. Maye had 353 pass yards and five total touchdowns in his last matchup against App State.

The Mountaineers travel back home Sept. 16 for Family Weekend against historic rival East Carolina. The two last faced off in Charlotte at Bank of America Stadium in 2021, where App State won 33-19. App State finishes its non-conference slate by traveling west to Wyoming Sept. 23. The Mountaineers played the Cowboys in 2015, and App State protected The Rock with a 31-13 victory. The Sun Belt Conference schedule highlights include hosting Coastal Carolina Oct. 10 and Marshall Nov. 4. App State last hosted both teams in 2021, where both games came down to the wire with 31-30 and 30-27 victories for the Black and Gold. - The Appalachian

02/28/23 - QB Garrett Shrader, rSr/2024, Syracuse + More +

Syracuse football's starting quarterback Garrett Shrader will miss the entirety of spring practice after undergoing a successful procedure on his right arm, the program announced Monday. A source close to the program told syracuse.com that the procedure was specifically on Shrader's elbow. They could not provide more details on the procedure itself.

Spring practice starts March 21. The spring game is set for April 21. "I'm disappointed to miss the rest of the spring, but looking forward to rehabbing and getting ready for this upcoming season," Shrader said in the release. Shrader captained SU's offense in 11 and a half games this season, missing six quarters in November with an undisclosed lower body injury. It is currently unknown what his recent procedure on his throwing arm was for and when he suffered the injury that necessitated it. - The Post-Standard

02/28/23 - OG Zak Zinter, Sr/2024, Michigan + More +

There's good, and then there's an embarrassment-of-riches good. That's the state of the Michigan offensive line heading into the upcoming season. Michigan has won the Joe Moore Award in back-to-back seasons, getting a boost at center last season with transfer Olu Oluwatimi, who went on to win the Rimington Trophy as the nation's best center and the Outland, given to the nation's top interior lineman. The group helped the Wolverines average 238.9 rushing yards last season, ranking No. 5 nationally. Sherrone Moore, Michigan's offensive coordinator, who also coaches the offensive line, has built depth, adding three linemen from the transfer portal last December, and experience. Last season, because of injuries, there were five different starting-line combinations, with nine players making starts. Gone are Oluwatimi and left tackle Ryan Hayes, both participating in this week's NFL combine, but the transfer additions are LaDarius Henderson, Drake Nugent and Myles Hinton.

Among the experienced players returning are left guard Trevor Keegan and right guard Zak Zinter. Both assessed heading to the NFL and opted for another season at Michigan. Spring practice, which began a week ago and is paused while the university is on spring break, will be useful for getting some of the younger players, including Gio El-Hadi and Jeff Persi, who made starts last season, more practice reps. Also back are starters Karsen Barnhart and Trente Jones, who competed at right tackle. Henderson won't be able to practice with the team until the preseason, while he finishes his degree work at Arizona State, and Nugent and Hinton are missing spring practice while working through post-season surgeries. Henderson and Nugent are targeting starting spots in the fall. - Detroit News

02/27/23 - CB Sevyn Banks, rSr/2023, LSU + More +

Cornerback Sevyn Banks declared for the 2023 NFL Draft instead of returning to LSU, sources told The Advocate. Banks, a former Ohio State transfer, had one more season of eligibility. Banks transferred to LSU last spring after starting his career at Ohio State. He missed the first three games as he recovered from an injury, then Banks suffered a bruised spinal cord when he made a tackle on the opening kickoff Oct. 1 against Auburn. He did not play the rest of the season.

As a fifth-year senior, Banks did not have to formally submit his name for the draft by the Jan. 16 underclassmen deadline. He still made his decision around then, a source said. Though widely thought Banks had returned to LSU because he never made a public announcement, the team knew of his choice. Banks plans to participate in LSU's Pro Day next month, a source said. It'll be the first chance to see him work out since he was taken off the field on a stretcher after the kickoff at Auburn. He did not dress for another game as he recovered, and the former Ohio State starter is now trying to reach the NFL after two injury-marred seasons. Banks was a four-star recruit and the No. 221 overall player in the 2018 class, according to the 247Sports composite rankings, out of Jones High School in Orlando, Florida. He appeared in every game his sophomore year at Ohio State before turning into a starter with early-round draft potential. - Baton Rouge Advocate

02/26/23 - QB Tyler Van Dyke, rSr/2026, Southern Methodist + More +

After Tyler Van Dyke's disappointing season in 2022 that ended with the Hurricanes quarterback missing most of the second half of the season due to injury, rumors swirled that the 2021 ACC Rookie of the Year could seek greener pastures elsewhere. That did not come to pass. Instead, the rising fourth-year signal-caller played an integral role in bringing more players to UM. Cristobal said Van Dyke even cut short a trip home to see his family to participate in a recruiting weekend, flying back from Connecticut to Florida to pitch the Hurricanes to prospective players. "A lot of guys," Cristobal said, "they would've ran to the hills...Instead, he was instrumental in getting a lot of these guys on board and signing them." Van Dyke finished last season with 1,835 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and a 63.2 completion percentage. He got off to a slow start before getting into a groove against North Carolina and Virginia Tech. However, he suffered an injury against Duke on Oct. 22 and threw only 16 passes the rest of the year.

Cristobal said Miami's offensive system under Gattis did not work with Van Dyke and UM's roster last season, especially once injuries began to take their toll on starting players. "Systematically, it just didn't fit," Cristobal said. "Those systems were phenomenal when we were at Alabama and at Oregon. The track record is what it is: They worked and they worked well. But when you're in a roster transition and whatnot, and it doesn't quite fit, you have to keep finding tweaks, and you've got to keep finding ways to make things work. And we didn't do a good enough job when the injuries piled up." - Sun Sentinel

02/23/23 - ILB Jamon Dumas-Johnson, Sr/2025, Kentucky + More +

Georgia linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson, the second-leading tackler for 2022 national champions, was arrested Wednesday on charges of reckless driving and racing. According to Athens-Clarke County jail records, Dumas-Johnson was released Wednesday evening after posting a combined bond of $4,000 — $2,500 for allegedly racing on highways/streets and $1,500 for alleged reckless driving. The arrest on the misdemeanor charges followed an incident in Athens on Jan. 10, one day after the Bulldogs beat TCU 65-7 in the national championship game and Dumas-Johnson had four tackles.

Georgia said in a statement that the "alleged conduct" by Dumas-Johnson "does not reflect our program's values or the high standards we have established." "As this is an open matter involving a student, we are not able to provide any additional information at this time and will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement," the statement added. Georgia is also dealing with the fallout from a fatal crash after the team's championship parade. Georgia offensive lineman Devin Willock and Chandler LeCroy, a 24-year-old who worked in the recruiting department, were killed in an early-morning accident on Jan. 15, while another player and another employee were in the vehicle and injured. Dumas-Johnson was a second-team selection to The Associated Press All-Southeastern Conference team after recording 70 tackles with four sacks while starting every game in Georgia's second consecutive national championship season. - AP College Football

02/22/23 - QB DJ Uiagalelei, rSr/2025, Florida State + More +

The most anticipated quarterback competition in some time at OSU. It's at least a two-man battle between incumbent starter Ben Gulbranson and Clemson transfer D.J. Uiagalelei. There figures to be plenty of spotlight on 4-star freshman Aidan Chiles, too. Gulbranson checks the main box as to what a quarterback should do: win. Replacing an injured Chance Nolan five weeks into 2022 season, Gulbranson won seven of his eight starts. But outsiders would point out the position was hardly dynamic under Gulbranson. The Beavers' offense leaned heavily on the run game as the passing attack was pedestrian. Others push back, saying Gulbranson was an elite game manager, often calling the right play at the right time. It's hard to argue against 7-1.

Regardless, there's no harm to see whether the Beavers can do more at the position in 2023, which leads to Uiagalelei. During a three-year career at Clemson, the 6-foot-4, 235-pound Uiagalelei started 28 games, completing 515 of 861 passes for 5,681 yards and 36 touchdowns, with 17 interceptions. Moreover, Uiagalelei is a run threat, as he produced 913 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns at Clemson. On paper, Oregon State has never had a quarterback like Uiagalelei, a former 5-star recruit who competed and produced for a perennial top-10 program. But he also had accuracy issues at Clemson, and eventually fell out of favor. Is a change of scenery all Uiagalelei needs to return to stardom? That's what Oregon State plans to find out this spring, summer and August camp. - The Oregonian

02/18/23 - OT LaDarius Henderson, rSr/2024, Michigan + More +

Michigan has won back-to-back Joe Moore Awards given to the nation's top offensive line and got a huge boost last season from the transfer portal when Olu Oluwatimi arrived from Virginia and went on to win the Rimington Award as the nation's top center and the Outland as the top interior lineman. The line helped Michigan's run game rank No. 5 nationally in rushing last season averaging 238.9 yards a game, and several starters from that line return - guards Trevor Keegan and Zak Zinter, who both strongly considered leaving for the NFL, and right tackles Karsen Barnhart and Trente Jones, who both made starts.

Michigan went to the portal again and added experience in LaDarius Henderson (Arizona State), who likely will replace Ryan Hayes at left tackle; Drake Nugent (Stanford), who is penciled in at center; and Myles Hinton, also from Stanford. They will get significant work in the spring as they adjust to the offense and expect the backups to also get plenty of reps, while Keegan, Zinter, Barnhart and Jones use the time to hone their skills. This will be the first spring that offensive line coach Sherrone Moore will be the offensive coordinator after spend the last two seasons as co-coordinator. - Detroit News

02/16/23 - WR Alante Brown, rSr/2026, Michigan State + More +

Receiver Alante Brown and offensive lineman Hunter Anthony are not listed on the team's online roster after both saw steady roles in 2022. Brown collected the third most catches (16) among NU wideouts last season while piling up 191 receiving yards across 12 games. Anthony, who transferred from Oklahoma State a year ago, appeared in 11 contests along the O-line and special teams while starting at right tackle against Purdue.

Anthony has played five college seasons and earned his degree last year. Brown - a former quarterback from Chicago who went to prep school for a fall at St. Thomas More in Connecticut - joined the Huskers in the 2020 class and served as a return man for kickoffs while growing into a larger role on offense. He made 22 career receptions for 262 yards in 30 games (11 starts). Brown's departure leaves senior Marcus Washington (31 catches for 471 yards) as the only receiver on the roster who had a feature role at Nebraska last year. - Lincoln Journal Star

02/14/23 - QB Carson Beck, rSr/2026, Miami + More +

Mike Bobo reclaimed the offensive coordinator job at Georgia on Tuesday, with Todd Monken leaving the two-time defending national champions for the NFL. Bobo, a former Bulldogs quarterback and longtime assistant coach at his alma mater, also served as offensive coordinator under former coach Mark Richt. The 48-year-old Bobo has some big shoes to fill. Monken accepted the offensive coordinator job with the Baltimore Ravens after serving on a staff that guided Georgia to back-to-back national titles. The Bulldogs averaged 38.6 points per game in 2021 and 41.1 this past season while finishing 15-0, capped by a record-breaking 65-7 blowout of TCU in the national championship game.

Monken's three-season stint with the Bulldogs will be remembered for the stunning rise of quarterback Stetson Bennett from walk-on to Heisman Trophy finalist. "We are extremely thankful and appreciative of the three years Todd and his wife, Terri, have spent with our UGA family," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said in a statement. "We wish them the best as he moves on to the Ravens organization." Bobo, who had head coaching stints at Colorado State and South Carolina after leaving Georgia following the 2014 season, returned to his alma mater a year ago as a quality control analyst for the offense. "Mike was an excellent addition to our staff last year as an analyst, and we are looking forward to his expanded leadership on the offensive side of the ball," Smart said. Bobo takes over an offense with some major holes to fill, most notably at quarterback with Bennett's departure. Carson Beck, who got limited playing time the last two years as a backup, is expected to take over the job. But he'll have to beat out Brock Vandagriff, one of the top-rated QBs in the 2021 recruiting class, and Gunner Stockton, another touted prospect who has yet to play at the college level. - AP College Football
