Former Air Force quarterback Donald Hammond III flew to Green Bay on Sunday and will try out with the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday, a source told The Gazette. Hammond, who did not sign with a team after going undrafted last month, had drawn at least niche interest prior to the draft from experts who liked the arm strength and abilities possessed by the 6-foot-1, 228-pound Georgia native. At Air Force, Hammond set a program record in passing efficiency (164.09) and average yards per completion (20.6). He led the team to a 11-2 record and No. 21 national ranking in his lone season as full-time starter. An academic violation prior to his senior year led to a drop in cadet status and caused Hammond to miss the season. He then separated from the academy under an agreement that will likely require him to pay back the cost of his education. - Colorado Springs Gazette

Nolan Laufenberg is staying in Colorado. The Castle Rock native and Air Force graduate is signing with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent, The Gazette confirmed. Laufenberg attended Castle View High School before joining the academy where he started three seasons at left guard. He was named a second-team preseason All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation, becoming the first Falcon to do so since 1992. He was also a selection to the Mountain West's first team in 2019 and 2020. - Colorado Springs Gazette

Air Force left tackle Parker Ferguson signed as an undrafted free agent with the New York Jets on Saturday evening. Ferguson, a three-year starter for the Falcons from Greenwood, Ind., participated in the Hula Bowl in January following a first-team All-Mountain West senior season. At Air Force's pro day in March, Ferguson measured 6-foot-3.6, 306 pounds and posted a 31-inch vertical leap and ran a 5.19 40-yard dash. He also performed 24 repetitions of 225 pounds in the bench press. Ferguson becomes the second former Falcon with the Jets, joining cornerback Zane Lewis, who spent the 2020 season on the practice squad. Former Air Force assistant coach Jake Moreland is on the Jets staff as the assistant offensive line coach and former Falcons assistant Chip Vaughn coaches the Jets defensive secondary. - Colorado Springs Gazette

Air Force football is proceeding with a plan to fully open Falcon Stadium to fans this fall, packing a place that spent the 2020 season empty except for cadets. The academy announced on Twitter that the 2021 season includes "plans for full capacity." "We will continue to monitor state and local health guidelines as we will coordinate with public health to ensure a safe fan experience for all," athletic director Nathan Pine in a statement on social media. The Falcons will host six games - Lafayette (Sept. 4), Utah State (Sept. 18), Florida Atlantic (Sept. 25), Wyoming (Oct. 9), San Diego State (Oct. 23) and UNLV (Nov. 27). The team moved its scheduled Nov. 6 home game against Army to Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, as part of the two-year Commander's Classic. - Colorado Springs

04/10/21 - Jordan Jackson, rSr/2022, Air Force, 6-5, 294 (DS#27 DT) + More +

Jordan Jackson thought he'd spend this past fall hauling down quarterbacks. Instead, he spent the time hauling meals around Jacksonville, Fla. The 6-foot-5, 290-pound Air Force defensive end gave an in-house interview with FalconVision director Brian Jerman that was released by the academy Wednesday afternoon. It was the first public interview conducted with one of the three dozen or so Air Force players who took turnbacks and missed the 2020 season. Jackson discussed his time away from the academy that he spent rehabbing from an injury, spending time with family and delivering food as an Uber Eats driver.

"Everything happens for a reason, I feel like," Jackson said. "Of course it was kind of tough, going home, not expecting there to be a season, and there ended up being a season." The Mountain West had announced in August 2020 that it was moving the football season to the spring because of the coronavirus. About a month later it reversed that decision and forged ahead with a shortened season. During that interim period, around 40 Air Force football players decided to utilize an offer then-superintendent Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria offered to all cadets to utilize the turnback program because of the pandemic. Turnbacks allow cadets to separate for a period of time - in this case a semester - with the missed time tacked onto the end of their time at the academy. For those, like Jackson, who were initially scheduled to graduate next month, they will instead graduate in December 2021 and be able to play during the 2021 season. - Colorado Springs Gazette

02/16/21 - Donald Hammond III, Sr/2021, Air Force, 6-0, 228 (DS#24 QB) + More +

Quarterback Donald Hammond III is no longer at the Air Force Academy and hopes to take his next snaps in the NFL. Hammond, a standout for the Falcons as a sophomore and junior during the 2018-19 seasons, provided the updates on Twitter on Monday. The announcement followed a turbulent time for Hammond. In late July, the academy responded to an inquiry from The Gazette to say that Hammond was no longer a cadet in good standing. The drop in standing kept him from playing during his senior season, which was truncated to six games instead of 12 because of COVID-19. In October, Hammond placed his name in the transfer portal to "see where everything goes from here," he told The Gazette at the time. - Colorado Springs Gazette

Air Force senior Parker Ferguson has been selected to play in the Hula Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii, January 31 in Aloha Stadium. Ferguson is the first Air Force offensive lineman selected for the game since Ross Weaver in 2005.

Haaziq Daniels had the longest touchdown pass of his career and one of four Air Force rushing touchdowns and the Falcons dominated Utah State 35-7 on Thursday night. Haazig hooked up with Ben Peterson for a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter. For Peterson it was also the longest reception of his career. Daniels' 37-yard rushing touchdown just 52 seconds before halftime was the backbreaker for Air Force as it capped a 99-yard drive.

Matthew Murla capped a 71-yard drive - the shortest of the night for the Falcons - with a 1-yard plunge in the third quarter and Brad Roberts bulled in from 15-yards out to cap the scoring in the fourth quarter. Kadin Remsberg's 21-yard run tied the game late in the first quarter. Andrew Peasley's 4-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Nathan put Utah State on top midway through the first quarter. Air Force (3-2, 2-2 Mountain West Conference), rushed for 334 yards and had 127 on the ground. Remsberg piled up 107 yards and Roberts had 98. Utah State (1-4, 1-4) was held to 232 yards.

Air Force's offensive line was among 22 in the nation to earn a spot on the midseason honor roll from the Joe Moore Award. Army and San Diego State were also included on the honor roll, as was the line from No. 1 Alabama. Air Force leads the nation in rushing yards at 336.5 yards per game. The award's committee said the Falcons "have found a way to lead the country in rushing under extremely challenging conditions and injuries to key players. Tough and physical at point of attack and look to finish whenever they can. Play with tight bases and run off the football and accelerate on contact. People movers. Scrappy. Well coached triple team that runs a fair amount of outside zone, power, lead, and it's all fun to watch." - Colorado Springs Gazette
