  10/04/25 - Walker Eget, rSr/2027, Duke, 6-3, 223 (DS#29 QB) + More +

  Walker Eget threw for 327 yards and three touchdowns and San Jose State opened Mountain West Conference play with a 35-28 win over New Mexico on Friday night. Eget was on target all night with one incompletion on two dozen passes through three quarters and finished 26 for 30. Danny Scudero and Kyri Shoels were the main targets with seven receptions apiece for 151 and 81 yards, respectively, with Scudero scoring on a 70-yard play. New Mexico had a touchdown and field goal in the fourth quarter, but the Spartans erased the final 3:41 behind the running of Steve Chavez-Soto, a freshman in his first collegiate game. Replacing injured Lamar Radcliffe, who had 64 yards, Chavez Soto had 71 yards, 28 on the final possession, and two touchdowns.

Chavez-Soto's first touchdown and Eget's 11-yard toss to Matthew Coleman had the Spartans (2-3) up 14-0 less than a minute into the second quarter and the Lobos (3-2) never caught up. Chavez-Soto scored on a 10-yard run and Eget hit Leland Smith for an 8-yard touchdown in the third quarter to make it 35-17. Quarterback Jack Layne had the third of three New Mexico rushing touchdowns and he was 28-of-40 passing for 344 yards but threw three interceptions, two to Jalen Bainer. Damon Bankston and Scottre Humphrey also had short TD runs for the Lobos. - San Jose State/AP College Football

  10/03/25 - Dylan Flowers, rSr/2027, Duke, 5-10, 178 (DS#999 CB) + More +

  Koron Hayward and Dylan Flowers made game-changing defensive plays in the third quarter and Jaylen Lewis made a stop on fourth-and-1 in the closing minutes as Western Kentucky rallied for a 27-24 over Delaware on Friday night. Three snaps after the Hilltoppers kicked a field goal on the opening drive of the second half, Hayward had a 25-yard pick-6 that put them ahead 20-17.

The Blue Hens quickly went 80 yards on the ensuing possession, but on second-and-goal from the 4, Flowers hit quarterback Nick Minicucci as he neared the end zone and Elin Jones recovered it in the end zone. Delaware then marched 80 yards to take a 27-17 lead on a 5-yard pass from Maverick McIvor to George Hart III. Minicucci's third short touchdown run with 9:54 left to play made it 27-24 but the next drive - 11 plays taking up 4 1/2 minutes - ended on downs and on the last play of the game Nate Reed missed a 42-yard field goal to the right. McIver was 23 of 31 for 230 yards for Western Kentucky (5-1, 3-0 Conference USA). Minicucci was 28-of-47 passing for 314 yards and added 55 yards on the ground for the Blue Hens (3-2, 1-1), who had a 10-game home winning streak end. - Western Kentucky/AP College Football

  12/04/22 - Al Blades Jr., rSr/2024, Duke, 6-0, 194 (DS#51 CB) + More +

  Two more Miami Hurricanes began the process of entering the transfer portal Thursday, bringing to nine the number of confirmed players who are taking that step. According to a source, wide receiver Keyshawn Smith is entering the portal, a move that was expected. And safety Al Blades Jr. also entered the portal, which wasn't necessarily expected. Smith had 41 catches for 589 yards in 19 games during three seasons at UM, including 13 receptions for 199 yards (a 15.3 average) and two touchdown this past season. He was very good as a returner early this past season, returning 21 kickoffs for 641 yards (a 30.5 average) and a touchdown. But he did not play in Miami's final three games. Smith was a late addition to the 2020 class, after flipping his commitment from Washington State.

Blades played a lot at cornerback in 2019 and 2020, starting a combined 14 games and hauling in two interceptions each of those seasons. He was limited to two games in 2021 because of injuries and played 138 snaps this past season as a backup safety. He had 91 tackles, the four picks and 14 passes defended in his five seasons at Miami. Rivals rated Blades the 59th-best player in the 2018 class. Blades, who attended Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, is the son of deceased former Miami Hurricanes star safety Al Blades Sr. and the nephew of former UM stars Bennie Blades and Brian Blades. - Miami Herald
