  12/28/22 - Darnell Deas, rSr/2025, Bethune-Cookman, 5-09, 205 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  A University of Miami legend is leaving the U as its "Chief of Staff" to join Bethune-Cookman as its new football coach. "Bethune-Cookman University has entered an agreement in principle with Pro Football Hall of Famer Ed Reed to be its 16th head football coach," Bethune-Cookman Athletics posted on Twitter Tuesday night. "We are excited to hear that Ed Reed has been named the head football coach at Bethune-Cookman," UM athletic director Dan Radakovich told the Miami Herald in a text message.

"Ed is one of the best to ever wear a Miami Hurricanes uniform and he has served as a great mentor to our student-athletes the past three years. "He will do a tremendous job leading the Wildcats program and the entire Miami family wishes him all the best." Reed replaces former Bethune-Cookman coach Terry Sims, who was fired in November. Bethune-Cookman, 2-9 in 2022, plays in the Southwest Athletic Conference of the FCS, the same conference as Jackson State, where Deion Sanders just resigned to take the head job at Colorado. So another, ah, prime example of a HOF player entering college coaching at an HBCU team. Do we see a trend here? Question is, how long will Reed stay with the HBCU team? - Bethune-Cookman Football/Remarks by NFL Draft Scout

  Former USF quarterback Timmy McClain will be transferring to War on I-4 rival UCF. He announced his commitment to the Knights on Friday afternoon. McClain started nine games for the Bulls as a true freshman last season, completing 55.3% of his passes for 1,888 yards, five touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also rushed for 238 yards and four scores. The 6-foot-1, 198-pound Sanford native showed flashes of high-level talent after taking the starting job last year away from Cade Fortin. But he was inconsistent and inexperienced. McClain entered 2022 as the Bulls' expected starter, but USF chose to add Baylor transfer Gerry Bohanon from the transfer portal.

Bohanon, a fifth-year player, helped the Bears win the Big 12 last season and immediately impressed his new teammates and coaches. Sunday night, coach Jeff Scott told McClain that Bohanon would start this season for the Bulls. Within a day, McClain was in the transfer portal and off the Bulls' roster as he looked for a new destination. Scott was not surprised by the decision; incumbent quarterbacks very rarely stay after losing the job to a transfer. - Tampa Tribune

  The great potential for cannon-armed quarterback Cam Ransom will not be realized - at least not at Georgia Southern. Ransom, who threw for a touchdown on his first collegiate pass as a true freshman last season, announced Tuesday on his Twitter account that he is entering the transfer portal. The 6-foot-3, 215-pounder from Armwood High School in Florida was viewed as the Eagles' quarterback of the future while paying his dues in his first season in 2021. However, new head coach Clay Helton and offensive coordinator Bryan Ellis brought a new offense to Statesboro, and recruited sixth-year graduate transfer Kyle Vantrease as a veteran to run that offense this fall.

Ransom appeared this spring to fall on the depth chart somewhere behind Vantrease and perhaps redshirt-sophomore Connor Cigelske. The 2022 recruiting class included early enrollees Zak Rozsman and David Dallas (out with an injured shoulder). Ransom was 4-of-6 passing for 44 yards, including a long of 22 yards - as one of five quarterbacks playing in the annual Blue vs. White Spring Game last Saturday at Paulson Stadium. Vantrease played in the first half and was 16 of 25 for 217 yards and one TD. - Savannah Morning News
