  AUG 30 CONFERENCE USA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: UTEP WR Jacob Cowing picked up right where he left off in 2020, recording a career-high 158 receiving yards on just five receptions and a 59-yard touchdown catch on Saturday. The 158 yards receiving marked Cowing's sixth 100-yard game of his career as the Miners started the 2021 season on the right foot. Cowing solidified himself as a deep threat for the Miners, making receptions of 72 and 59 yards in the win over the Aggies. The 59-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the second half was the seventh touchdown reception of Cowing's young career. - Conference USA Football

  The No. 1 jersey will not be the exclusive domain of receiver Stanley Berryhill. Arizona announced Monday that a second player, defensive end Jalen Harris, has earned the right to wear No. 1. Players can wear duplicate jersey numbers in college if they play on opposite sides of the ball. Like Berryhill, Harris is entering his fifth year as a Wildcat and has put together a sterling offseason. Nine players were in the running for the No. 1, which was to be awarded based on academic achievement, community service, workout attendance and on-field performance. Harris has 74 tackles, including 13 stops for losses (seven sacks), in 32 career games. He had a career-high three passes defensed last season. - Arizona Star News

  Cunningham might have been the most improved Wildcat during training camp. He put on about nine pounds of muscle over the summer and expanded his game, running sharper routes and making more plays in the intermediate areas of the field. Cunningham has split time between the football and track teams. He clocked a personal-best time of 10.61 seconds in the 100 meters earlier this year. A player that fast should have career averages greater than 11.9 yards per reception and 19.4 yards per kickoff return.

Cunningham's 15.4-yard per-catch average last season included a 75-yard touchdown reception in the opener vs. USC. He averaged only 8.0 yards on his other eight grabs. How could an athlete as explosive as Cunningham get so little bang for his buck? Arizona's porous pass protection undoubtedly played a role. If the scheme created opportunities for him, they weren't realized aside from that deep ball against the Trojans. Cunningham also wasn't as polished a player as he is now. We don't expect Cunningham to lead Arizona in receptions; that should be a two-man battle between Stanley Berryhill III and BJ Casteel. But there's a good chance Cunningham will rank among the offense's leaders in big plays thanks to his own improvement and Jedd Fisch recognizing how potent a weapon Cunningham can be. - Arizona Star News

  Before UTEP started emptying the bench, Jacob Cowing was in national player of the week contention. Three plays into the third quarter he had four catches for 163 yards and a touchdown before finishing with five grabs for 158. Gavin Hardison threw one interception that was a result of him being belted in the chest by Donovan King as he released the ball on what he thought was a free play (what UTEP thought was an NMSU offsides wasn't called), but he was good, especially on deep balls to his stars Cowing and Justin Garrett. He finished 11 of 16 with a touchdown pass and 249 yards (22.6 yards per completion) before sitting out the fourth quarter. "The connection between Gavin and I, we've put a lot of time on that in the offseason," Cowing said. "We studied New Mexico State, we knew them like the back of our hand, so when we came out we knew what to expect." - Las Cruces Sun News

  The Arizona Wildcats named their 2021 team captains Friday evening as UA's season opener against BYU now sits just eight days away. The Cats' team captains are as follows: WR Stanley Berryhill III, LB Anthony Pandy, DE Jalen Harris, OL Josh McCauley, WR Thomas Reid III and K Lucas Havrisik. Four of the six captains are seniors; Berryhill (redshirt junior) and Harris (redshirt junior) are the exceptions. All six have also invested a significant amount of time in the Arizona program and are some of the most experienced players on the roster. Berryhill, Pandy, Harris, McCauley and Havrisik project as starters to open the season, with Reid competing for snaps at wide receiver and on special teams. Berryhill and Pandy both represented the Wildcats during the team's Pac-12 Media Day in Los Angeles earlier this summer. - Arizona Star News

  SB3 will be wearing No. 1. Veteran Arizona receiver Stanley Berryhill III has earned the right to wear the No. 1 jersey for the Wildcats, his father posted on Facebook. Nine players were in the running for the number, which was to be awarded based on academic achievement, community service, workout attendance and on-field performance. First-year coach Jedd Fisch said it was possible two players could wear No. 1 - one on offense, one on defense - but Berryhill is the only known recipient. Entering his fifth season, Berryhill is Arizona's leading returning receiver. Berryhill had 23 catches for 227 yards and three touchdowns in five games. For his career, Berryhill has 56 receptions, 733 yards and eight scores in 25 contests. - Arizona Star News

  Jacob Cowing had a career-high 158 yards receiving, including a 59-yard score, and UTEP opened the season with a 30-3 victory over New Mexico State on Saturday night. Cowing's yardage came on just five catches, including one for 72 yards, as he finished with his sixth career 100-yard game. Gavin Hardison was 11-of-16 passing for 249 yards and an interception. UTEP rolled to a 20-3 halftime lead with Hardison throwing for 154 yards, 104 to Cowing, before the duo combined for their long score just over a minute into the second half.

Ronald Awatt and Deion Hankins rushed for touchdowns and Gavin Baechle kicked three field goals. The Miners, 3-5 last fall, returned all 11 starters on offense and eight on defense as they outgained the Aggies 452-190. New Mexico State didn't play in 2020 and split two games in the spring. The Aggies were playing at home for the first time since a 44-35 victory over the Miners on Nov. 23, 2019. - UTEP/AP College Football

  After months of jockeying for Arizona's starting quarterback spot, Gunner Cruz and Will Plummer will both earn reps in the Wildcats' Sept. 4 season opener against BYU. UA coach Jedd Fisch announced the decision during his weekly press conference Tuesday afternoon. Cruz, a Gilbert native and Washington State transfer, and Plummer, a fellow Gilbert product and second-year returner, will start ahead of South Florida transfer Jordan McCloud, who missed spring ball and didn't arrive on campus until the start of preseason training camp. Cruz will handle Arizona's opening drive against BYU. "Two's better than one," Fisch said. "That's our mindset until further notice."

The last time the 6-foot-5, 227-pound Cruz started a game at quarterback was his senior season in 2018 at Queen Creek Casteel High School, when the Colts lost Gilbert Higley in a playoff game. As a junior, Cruz led Casteel to a perfect 14-0 record and the Class 3A state championship. Casteel finished his high school career with 3,598 yards, 30 touchdowns and five interceptions. At Washington State, Cruz only saw action in one game against USC, completing 5 of 7 passes for 34 yards and a touchdown. - Arizona Star News

  Senior receiver Tayvian Cunningham has been one of the most improved players on the team since spring. Known mainly for his straight-line speed, Cunningham, who doubles as a sprinter for the track team, has made plays in tight quarters as well as down the field during camp. "I'm so proud of Tay," Cummings said. "The work that he put in in the offseason shows that he's serious about this. He's always been track and football. In the spring he was (still) going to track. I wouldn't say he wasn't fully into football, but he had other things that he was doing. This whole summer he was focused on ball."

Cunningham gained strength and a greater knowledge of the playbook. The latter has enabled him to play fast. "Now he knows exactly what he's doing, so you see that speed show up," Cummings said. "People think that Tayvian is just a speed guy. What he's really done is show that he could be a pure route runner." Cunningham, a transfer from Sacramento City College, has 44 catches for 522 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games at the UA. He also has averaged 19.4 yards on 18 kickoff returns. - Arizona Republic

  Arizona added five linebackers via the NCAA transfer portal. The least heralded among them has made the strongest early impression. Rashie Hodge Jr., via New Mexico State, has been buzzing around the practice field this week. After recording three tackles for losses Thursday, including a sack, Hodge had an interception Friday (the aforementioned pick of Plummer). He also played perfect coverage on a sideline pass intended for tailback Michael Wiley that fell incomplete. "I saw a guy flash, make a play, flash, make a play," defensive line coach Ricky Hunley said. "One thing that we can't teach is speed, and he's got it." Hodge attended Mountain Pointe High School in Phoenix and Glendale Community College before playing for NMSU in 2019. He started 11 of 12 games for the Aggies, recording 90 tackles, including 10 tackles for loss. The Aggies didn't play last season because of the pandemic. - Arizona Star News

  Statistically speaking, LSU linebacker Jared Small has not produced big numbers. He has been on the football roster since 2017 and has exactly one tackle. That happened on Aug. 31, 2019, on special teams in the season-opening, 55-3 win over Georgia Southern. Small, a fifth-year senior, has played in 15 games during his career, but the walk-on from Catholic High in Baton Rouge was given a scholarship just before the 2020 season. And this season, he is expected to play either as a starter or a fourth linebacker along with Clemson sophomore transfer Mike Jones Jr. and seniors Micah Baskerville and Damone Clark.

"Jared Small is all over the place," LSU coach Ed Orgeron said. "They're all four going to be considered starters." Small cannot wait for regular, non-special teams play, which will begin on Sept. 4 (7:30 p.m., FOX) when the No. 13 Tigers play at UCLA. "Growing up in Baton Rouge, it's every kid's dream to play for LSU," he said. "With that being the goal in mind, I just stayed with it. The journey itself - you've just got to know that there is an end goal in mind. You've just got to keep working on it each and every day." Incremental progress helped over the years. After a redshirt season in 2017, Small played in four games in 2018, five in 2019 and six last year. "Jared Small is a grinder. He came in here and earned it," Jones said. Then he had a breakthrough, leading both teams with 15 tackles and intercepting a pass at the spring game in April. - Lafayette Daily Advertiser

  Justin Flowe, one of three five-star recruits from the 2020 recruiting class, along with Sewell and cornerback Dontae Manning, is the favorite to replace Slade-Matautia after playing well in the spring game. "I just have a motor. I want to make every play," Flowe said. "That's how I always feel playing football. I just want to be that animal on the field." Flowe missed six games last season with a torn meniscus, a knee injury that required surgery. "I think the lowest moment for me was having surgery for the first time. It was really an eye-opener for me,"

Flowe said of the lost 2020 campaign. "It made me even more humble and just wanting to work on everything I've got to do to be the best player I can be. "That was the first injury I ever had, but I didn't let it hold me back. I just told myself it's just a bump in the road to glory." Flowe, the second-highest rated recruit to ever sign with Oregon behind Thibodeaux, is ready to start living up to the billing. "I feel like this opportunity I've got is the biggest and I just want to take advantage of it," Flowe said. "Isaac Slade was a really great linebacker. He was a vet, so he just showed me the way. I'm going to do what I can do to help the team." - Register Guard

  Over the past six months, since the incident that briefly derailed his college football career, Jayden de Laura probably felt like he was in no position to turn down advice and knowledge from those with more wisdom and life experience than Washington State's 19-year-old quarterback. De Laura's elders have played a role, certainly, but it was someone who's celebrated fewer birthdays than even de Laura who delivered the message that really hit home. At some point while de Laura served a four-month suspension from WSU's football team after being arrested in February on suspicion of driving under the influence - a charge Whitman County District Court found him not guilty of last week - the quarterback heard from his high school-age brother, an aspiring college receiver entering his junior year at Honolulu's Saint Louis.

Jaysen de Laura's words - or maybe it was the courage he showed to address the topic at all with an older sibling - left a surprising imprint on Jayden. "For me I would say (the conversation) with my brother," de Laura said Friday when asked to recall a meaningful conversation from the past six months. "He kind of told me like, what am I doing? He kind of told me I was wasting my time." For the first time since WSU's season-ending loss at Utah in December, de Laura was back on the field taking snaps and slinging passes in the No. 4 jersey, as one of three QBs in a race to win the Cougars' starting job along with returning backup Cammon Cooper and Tennessee graduate transfer Jarrett Guarantano. - Seattle Times

  Reporter: "So Lucas Havrisik decided to come back for another year ..." Coach: "Thank God." The coach expressing his gratitude was Arizona assistant Keith Dudzinski, whose charges include the Wildcats' specialists. He meant no disrespect to any other kickers on the roster. Havrisik just happens to be a known quantity - and a potential breakout star - on a team lacking in both. Havrisik, Arizona's fifth-year placekicker, was the only Wildcat to make the preseason All-Pac-12 first or second teams. He earned that recognition after a standout 2020 campaign during which he made 6 of 7 field-goal attempts and booted more than 80% of his kickoffs (17 of 21) for touchbacks.

Havrisik has demonstrated NFL-caliber leg strength since the moment he arrived in Tucson in 2017. He had a 67.7% touchback rate as a freshman, and it's only gotten higher since. His career mark is 75.2%. He ranked 10th nationally last season at 81.0%. If that were his only job, Havrisik would be a clear All-America candidate. He hasn't been nearly as consistent or proficient on placements - field goals or extra points - and that's led to some frustrating moments. - Arizona Star News

  08/05/21 - Malik Reed, rJr/2025, Arizona + More +

  Arizona's linebacker corps was slim during spring ball, but an influx of transfers and freshmen will add more bodies for Don Brown's defense. One of those transfers is former Chandler High School star linebacker Malik Reed, who returned to Arizona after one season with the Wisconsin Badgers. Reed was a high priority for the Wildcats' 2020 recruiting class, but he ultimately selected Wisconsin over the UA, UCLA, Nebraska and Colorado, among others. Reed was recruited as an outside linebacker out of high school, but could shift to inside linebacker alongside Anthony Pandy, Jabar Triplett and transfers Treshaun Hayward (Western Michigan), Jerry Roberts (Bowling Green) and Kenny Hebert (Vanderbilt). - Arizona Star News
