  2022 ALL-SUN BELT CONFERENCE FOOTBALL THIRD TEAM: OL - Antwine Loper, Coastal Carolina (Super Sr., OL - Conway, S.C.),...A 2020 All-Sun Belt honorable mention two years ago, Loper received third-team honors this season for his play along the offensive line. The most experienced returner on the offensive line for CCU this year, and one of only two starters, Loper moved from left tackle to right tackle prior to the start of the year. Loper has started in all 11 games on the season and has graded out at 85 percent or higher in seven of those contests, including a 97 percent in the win over USM (Nov. 12). He has totaled 20 knockdown blocks this year, including four in wins over Army (Sept. 3) and Marshall (Oct. 29), and also added three takedown blocks in home wins over App State (Nov. 3) and USM. The super senior has helped lead CCU to the fifth-best rushing offense in the SBC at 166.5 yards per contest despite missing the top three running backs most of the season. - Coastal Carolina Football

  Coastal Carolina football wide receiver Sam Pinckney has been added to the 2022 Biletnikoff Award watch list, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., the Florida-based creator and sponsor of the prestigious Biletnikoff Award, announced on Wednesday. Pinckney was also named to the 2020 Biletnikoff Award watch list while at Georgia State. The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the college football season's outstanding FBS receiver. Any player, regardless of position - wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back - who catches a pass is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award recognizes college football's outstanding receiver, not merely college football's outstanding wide receiver. In his first season as a Chant, the graduate transfer leads the team with 44 receptions for 623 yards and one touchdown. He is second on the team with an average of 14.16 yards per catch this year and has recorded three 100-yard receiving games on the year. - Coastal Carolina football

  Utah defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley likes what new safety Clayton Isbell brings to the defense. Isbell transferred to the Utes after playing two seasons at Illinois State. His sophomore season, he collected 62 tackles and three interceptions. Now, Isbell is making an impression in fall camp. "He covers a lot of ground. He's rangy. The more he understands our scheme, the faster he's going to play. With that length, he poses some problems in man-to-man coverage against tight ends," Scalley said. "He's shown up and done a nice job. He's a guy that you can coach hard, too. Sometimes the newcomers, you coach them hard and they look at you like you've got 10 heads. But he's another coach that was coached well."

Isbell said that's one of his strengths - learning from coaches. "The coaches here love the players. You show love by the way they teach and the way they coach," he said. "Through my college experience I've learned to trust coaches and trust the process." Safeties Cole Bishop and R.J. Hubert have been helping Isbell in camp. "Anytime I have questions or when I mess up, they correct me and pick me up," Isbell said. How are the safeties faring in camp? "The safeties are looking really good. A lot of experience," Isbell said. "They may be young in academics but on the field they definitely have some time and have game experience. We're looking good." - Deseret News

  Wofford will miss starting linebackers Joe Beckett and John Beckley - they started all 11 games last year and were the team's leading tacklers - but there aren't many other holes on the defense going into fall camp. The Terriers are bringing back eight starters, including the entire three-man defensive front. That defensive line showed promise last year led by Micheal Mason, who made the All-Southern Conference second team with 44 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. The 6-foot-3, 270-pound senior out of South Carolina plays defensive end opposite Chuck Smith, with Brandon Maina at nose. Maina made the Southern Conference's All-Freshman team last year. - Roanoke Times
