  LSU defensive end Justin Thomas has left the Tigers for the second time since the middle of last season, coach Ed Orgeron said Tuesday. "We wish him the best," Orgeron said, without going into detail, during his first video conference since August camp formally opened on Monday. "It's unfortunate, but he will not be with us." The 6-foot-5, 290-pound junior from Daphne, Alabama, played in four games last season for LSU's national title squad and had one sack in a victory at Vanderbilt. He made or assisted on eight tackles in all before leaving the team in October because of what LSU described as personal reasons. - AP College Football

  2020 PRESEASON DOAK WALKER AWARD WATCH LIST: Spencer Brown (Sr.), UAB,...Brown enters his senior year as the nation's second active career leading rusher with 3,122 yards. He is one of only two players in the nation with over 3,000 career rushing yards to begin the season (Clemson's Travis Etienne). The Kimberly, Ala. native is one of 76 players listed to the Doak Walker Award Watch List and just one of five from Conference USA, along with Justin Henderson (Louisiana Tech), Brenden Knox (Marshall), Quardraiz Wadley (UTEP) and Gaej Walker (WKU).

After back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons to begin his career, Brown missed five games as a junior, but still managed to lead the team with 566 rushing yards, while also adding five touchdowns. Brown is UAB's career leading rusher and also holds the school record for most 100-yard rushing games (13). With 31 career rushing touchdowns, Brown needs five more to become UAB's all-time leader in that category as well. Brown leads a UAB running back unit that returns 4,368 combined rushing yards, which is the third most in the nation only behind Clemson and Tulsa. UAB returns nine starters on offense and 18 starters overall. - UAB Football
