03/10/23 - John Emery Jr., rSr/2024, Transfer + More +

Senior running back John Emery was absent from LSU's first practice of the spring Thursday morning. Emery, a former five-star recruit from St. Rose, returned for his fifth season this year instead of entering the NFL draft. Coach Brian Kelly said Emery has to meet certain academic requirements before he can practice. Emery missed the entire 2021 season and the first two games last year because he was ruled academically ineligible, a decision the NCAA upheld after an appeal.

"John is focused strictly right now on his academics," Kelly said. "He's got some marks that he has to hit from an academic standpoint before we talk about football with him. That was the deal with John and talking to his family. If his primary focus was academics and taking care of his degree, then we would have a conversation about football." Emery wasn't the only running back missing from practice. Fifth-year graduate student Josh Williams and junior Armoni Goodwin did not appear during a 20-minute viewing period as they recover from injuries. Goodwin won't be able to practice until preseason camp. - Baton Rouge Advocate

03/10/23 - Isaiah Paul, rSr/2025, Transfer + More +

Two months after joining Washington State's football team, Isaiah Paul is heading back to the portal. The senior linebacker, who signed with WSU in early January, announced Wednesday over Twitter that he plans to reenter the NCAA transfer portal in May. Paul spent the past five years at Incarnate Word. The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder was a three-year starter at the FCS program in San Antonio - though injuries derailed his 2022 campaign. Paul recorded 137 tackles and 20 1/2 tackles for loss between 2019-22.

Paul was expected to compete for a significant playing role at WSU in 2023. The Cougars also added transfer LBs Devin Richardson (Texas) and Ahmad McCullough (Maryland). Those two will be in the mix for starting jobs along with WSU veteran Kyle Thornton and redshirt freshman Hudson Cedarland - one of the prized recruits in WSU's 2022 class. - Spokesman-Review

03/08/23 - Jacari Carter, rSr/2025, Transfer + More +

Jacari Carter enrolled in January after transferring from Merrimack, where he earned all-conference and Freshman All-America honors at the FCS level. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Carter caught 125 passes for 1,227 yards and 13 touchdowns in 25 games at Merrimack. As a freshman in 2021, he had 89 receptions for 713 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games in 2021. His 89 receptions were four shy of Cooper Kupp's FCS season record.

Head coach Shawn Elliott has been impressed with Carter since he arrived on campus. "He has done an exceptional job," Elliott said. "He has fit in so well with our football program. He's intelligent, he's an extremely hard worker and he's a good leader. He's small in stature, but he plays big. "You always look to improve a position in recruiting, and I think we hit a home run with that young man." - Georgia State Football

03/07/23 - Cormani McClain, So/2027, Transfer + More +

Getting two of the best young cornerbacks in the country to come to Boulder was the first step. Now, the Colorado coaches have to get them ready to play. "Those guys are young and they've got a lot of technique work that they need to work on, but that's what I'm here for," CU cornerbacks coach Kevin Mathis said during a press conference last week. "Those guys" could include the Buffaloes' entire cornerback group in general, but more specifically, it will be Travis Hunter and Cormani McClain in the spotlight. Hunter was rated the No. 1 prospect in the nation for the class of 2022 before signing with Jackson State to play for head coach Deion Sanders and Mathis. After a year at JSU, Hunter is now at CU after Sanders took over as the Buffaloes' head coach in December.

McClain is ranked as the No. 1 cornerback in the class of 2023 and had been committed to Miami before Sanders took the job at CU. He flipped to the Buffs last month and will arrive in Boulder this summer. A lot of football coaches talk about building a defense from the inside (defensive line and linebackers) out. But, not at CU. "We're probably the only place in America that's gonna start from the outside-in with our corners, because that's who (Sanders) is, that's what we want to build our brand on," Mathis said. "We want to make sure our guys on the outside are locked down and we've got two good ones. "Now, they need work and they're going to get work, but we've got two good ones on the outside that's gonna allow us do what we need to do on the inside of the defense to make plays." - Daily Camera

03/04/23 - Brayden Schager, Sr/2025, Transfer + More +

For the University of Hawaii football team, spring practice ended almost as soon as it began. The Rainbow Warriors were the second earliest team in the country to begin spring practices on Feb. 6, only behind Bowling Green. On Friday, spring ball ended for the 'Bows in order to cater to construction set to take place at UH-Manoa's grass practice fields, as well as the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex.

Over the last four weeks, the Rainbow Warriors installed a base run and shoot playbook on offense, which the team plans to run under the guidance of head coach Timmy Chang, who ran the offense himself for UH from 2000 to 2004. Hawaii's 2023 schedule, which was released on Thursday, begins on Aug. 26 at Vanderbilt. - KHon2.com

02/28/23 - Ladarian Paulk, Sr/2025, Transfer + More +

Memphis football defensive back Ladarian Paulk became the latest starter to leave the program when he announced Sunday that he'll enter the transfer portal in May. The NCAA's spring transfer portal window opens from May 1-15. Paulk is not listed on the team's spring roster, so he's eligible to remain a student at Memphis before his departure.

Paulk played in nine games with eight starts at safety and had 28 tackles with one pass deflection in his lone season with the Tigers. He transferred before last season from Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College and has two years of eligibility remaining. With Paulk gone, the Tigers' secondary loses another player with experience. Sylvonta Oliver and Quindell Johnson both exhausted their eligibility after last season. The Tigers do return two-year starting cornerback Greg Rubin and senior cornerback Davion Ross, who started six games last season and was an All-AAC honorable mention. - Memphis commercial Appeal

The Cougars return 36 letterwinners including 17 on offense, 16 on defense and three on special teams. The group includes eight offensive linemen including all five starters and two, in Cam'Ron Johnson and Patrick Paul, who were 2022 First-Team All-Conference honorees. The group will be tutored by first-year Run Game Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach Eman Naghavi who joined the Cougars in January following a decorated season in the same position at Tulane. After missing the entire 2022 season due to injury, Houston welcomes back running back Alton McCaskill IV who set the program's true freshman rushing touchdowns record in 2021. He is accompanied by wideout Matthew Golden who broke UH's all-time receiving touchdowns record among true freshman a season ago. - Houston Football

02/12/23 - Joey Yellen, rSr/2025, Transfer + More +

That whistling in the 35 mph wind was Joey Yellen whipping another pass to a University of Hawaii receiver at the Ching Complex's football field. Six months after transferring from Pittsburgh and four months after ceding the starting quarterback's job, Yellen has impressed in the first four practices of the Rainbow Warriors' spring training. Head coach Timmy Chang has likened Yellen to Nick Rolovich, who rebounded from a difficult 2000 season to set several UH passing records in 2001.

"Rolo was one of the best quarterbacks who played here," Chang said of his former teammate. "If Rolo had another two years, three years or so, imagine what he would have done with this offense. I see Joey in (Rolovich). It's his frame (6 feet 3, 215 pounds). It's his demeanor. It's his ability to throw the ball, understand where the ball needs to go on time. He's not going to wow you with his athleticism, but he's going to distribute the ball, and that's what reminds me the most of Rolo." Brayden Schager is atop the six-quarterback depth chart this spring. But Chang, who will call the offensive plays this season, said there is talent - and competition - in the quarterback room. "Schager gets the No. 1 spot, but Joey's right there," Chang said. "He's competing. He's throwing the ball right underneath the chin (of a receiver). He's understanding the standard of distributing the ball. I love where he's at. He's in a good place. He's calmer, confident, and he understands." - Honolulu Advertiser

02/08/23 - Brayden Schager, Sr/2025, Transfer + More +

The run and shoot offense, which became synonymous with the University of Hawaii football program two decades ago when June Jones was coaching the team, made a full-fledged return on Monday morning when the Rainbow Warriors kicked off spring practice. Hawaii went 3-10 in Timmy Chang's first season as head coach in 2022. The Rainbow Warriors did not run the run and shoot in 2022 under new offensive coordinator Ian Shoemaker, although certain run and shoot concepts were installed during the team's bye week after the team had started 1-4. Starting in 2023, the Rainbow Warriors will fully be a run and shoot team under Chang, who ran the offense himself as a quarterback for UH from 2000 to 2004, becoming the NCAA's all-time leading passer in the process until he was surpassed by Houston's Case Keenum in 2011.

The first quarterback to get a crack at running the run and shoot in a game this fall appears to be Brayden Schager, a junior who spent portions of his first two seasons starting games for the 'Bows. Despite that, he has yet to enter a college season as a starter. Schager also spent part of his winter break working with former UH quarterbacks coach Dan Morrison in the Dallas area, where Morrison helped Schager work on some run and shoot concepts and drills conducive to running the offense. - Khon2.com
