06/17/22 - Kobe Lewis, rSr/2024, Florida Atlantic + More +

Kobe Lewis' jersey number at Central Michigan was No. 4 and naturally, the transfer running back wanted to keep it the same at Purdue. Receiver Rondale Moore was the last player to wear No. 4 on offense for the Boilermakers. "The last person who wore that jersey was a baller," Lewis was told by the Purdue coaches. "I was like, 'You know what; I want to be a baller too.' Hopefully, he left some of his luck on that jersey and it rubs off on me. I want to fill his shoes." If Lewis' production matches what Moore did, the offense will take a big step forward in the running game during the 2022 season.

While gaining nearly 1,600 career yards with the Chippewas, Lewis became of fan of Moore from a distance. "Even when I was in college, he was in college and just watching him, that dude, I just love him," said Lewis, who is the 11th transfer to join the program since the end of last season. "He made me fall in love with the program." And now he's part of the program where he can attempt to lift the running game out of the basement of the Big Ten. The Boilermakers have ranked last among conference teams in rushing yards the last three years. - Journal and Courier

06/15/22 - Kobe Lewis, rSr/2024, Florida Atlantic + More +

Purdue's rushing attack received a potential boost Sunday when former Central Michigan running back Kobe Lewis announced his transfer to the Boilermakers. Lewis, a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility remaining, missed the 2021 season with an ACL injury. Lewis, who is from Americus, Georgia, was on campus over the weekend and was checked out by Purdue's doctors to determine the health of his knee, the Journal & Courier has learned.

The 5-foot-11, 220-pound Lewis could give the struggling running game a lift. He's rushed for 1,579 career yards, scored 18 touchdowns and has eight 100-yard games. Lewis has 40 receptions for 270 yards during this time with the Chippewas and likely will help the Boilermakers in the return game. Lewis returned 26 kickoffs during the 2018 season - the most among Mid-American Conference players - averaging 21.9 yards, which ranked third in the league. - Journal and Courier

06/08/22 - Kobe Lewis, rSr/2024, Florida Atlantic + More +

Central Michigan running back Kobe Lewis has entered the transfer portal, according to a report from Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports. He will be eligible immediately as a graduate transfer. Lewis suffered a preseason knee injury that forced him to miss the entire 2021 season. Heading into the 2022 campaign, he had been rehabbing the injury in Atlanta, Georgia near his hometown of Americus. Prior to the news of his transfer, coach Jim McElwain said he would be available when the team began summer workouts. Lewis was expected to be an important player at running back next to Lew Nichols III, who is the reigning NCAA leader in rushing yards. Nichols was the Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Year and a first team All-MAC selection in 2021. In four seasons with the Chippewas, Lewis rushed for 1,579 yards and 18 touchdowns. His top showing came in 2019, when he rushed for 1,074 yards as the secondary option behind Jonathan Ward. - Central Michigan Life

04/21/22 - Keem Green, rSr/2024, Florida Atlantic + More +

Two more South Carolina players appear to be leaving the program. Defensive linemen Keem Green and Devontae Davis are both in the transfer portal, a South Carolina spokesperson confirmed to The State on Monday. Rivals first reported the news of Green's entrance, while The Big Spur reported Davis' possible departure. Green, a former four-star junior college recruit worked mostly with the scout team and didn't play in a game last season. Green played in eight games for the Cornhuskers between 2019 and 2020 after two years at Highland Community College in Kansas. He was credited with a half-tackle in Saturday's annual Garnet and Black spring game. Davis appeared in nine games at South Carolina after transferring in from Georgia Military College. The New Ellenton native compiled just four tackles in his Gamecocks career. Green and Davis' potential departures come just hours after receiver/tight end E.J. Jenkins announced via Twitter that he planned on entering the transfer portal. - Rock Hill Herald

12/02/21 - Malcolm Davidson, rSr/2023, Florida Atlantic + More +

Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez announced Thursday that he will enter the transfer portal, another blow for the struggling Cornhuskers. The three-time captain completed his best season in 2021, completing 61.8% of his throws for 2,863 yards with 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions for a career-best rating of 149.0. He played in 39 games during his four-year career, going 14-25 while winning just eight Big Ten games. He didn't play in last week's season-ending loss to Iowa after having surgery on his right shoulder. Martinez could play two more college seasons because the NCAA granted players an extra year of eligibility during last year's shortened COVID-19 season. - AP College Football

2021 ALL-CAA FOOTBALL THIRD TEAM (COACHES): Jackson Ambush, UAlbany, LB, Fr.,...From start to finish, Ambush led the team in tackles on a weekly basis. He finished the year just shy of triple digits, topping out at 97 - 53 solo and 44 assisted. That mark put him fifth in the entire CAA at 8.82 tackles per game. Not succumbing to pressure, his highest single-game total came against No. 5 ranked Villanova when the Wildcats visited Casey Stadium on Homecoming weekend. The linebacker recorded 12 tackles (eight solo), forced a fumble, and caused a pass breakup in the rain-marred game. Ambush recorded double figure tackle totals in six of his 11 games this year. He finished the season with 5.0 tackles for loss, four quarterback hits, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. - Albany Football

Johnny Ford ran for a 27-yard touchdown in the first quarter and James Charles scored on a short run in the fourth to give Florida Atlantic an 18-point lead, and the Owls held off a late UTEP comeback attempt to earn a 28-25 win on Saturday night. The loss snapped UTEP's four-game win streak heading into a first-place showdown with UTSA next week. Ford's run put Florida Atlantic (5-3, 3-1 Conference USA) up 7-3 in the first quarter. N'Kosi Perry hit LaJohntay Wester with a 39-yard touchdown pass with :02 left in the first half to send the Owls into the break with a 14-10 lead.

Zaire Mitchell-Paden punched in with 3:27 left in the third quarter to make it 21-10, and Charles' 1-yard run pushed it to 28-10 early in the fourth. UTEP mounted a comeback with an 82-yard, seven-play drive. Ronald Awatt scored on a 5-yard run with 2:50 left and punched in the two-point conversion to make it 28-18. Gavin Hardison fired a 49-yard touchdown pass to Tyrin Smith with 2:02 left. UTEP got the ball with :30 left but could not get itself in position to attempt a game-tying field goal. Perry finished with 149 yards on 13-for-26 passing and Ford finished with 93 yards on 123 carries. The Miners (6-2, 3-1) outgained Florida Atlantic 454 to 279. Hardison threw for 337 yards and two touchdowns but was intercepted twice. - Florida Atlantic/AP College Football

10/21/21 - NKosi Perry, rSr/2023, Florida Atlantic + More +

N'Kosi Perry set up three touchdowns on as many drives in a breakaway third quarter and Florida Atlantic held Charlotte scoreless for all of the second half for a 38-9 victory Thursday night, just hours after each university announced it will be leaving Conference USA. Perry was a crisp 9 of 11 passing for 225 yards and three TDs. Johnny Ford rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for 32 yards and another score. Charlotte (4-3, 2-1) was seeking its first 5-2 start. FAU (4-3, 2-1) entered the game winless on the road but, strangely, remains undefeated in Charlotte in four games there.

Charlotte led 9-7 at halftime as Chris Reynolds found Grant DuBose at the front of the end zone with a pass from the 1-yard line on the last play of the second quarter. The 49ers twice converted on fourth-and-one during the 17-play drive. Florida Atlantic opened the second half with a four-play scoring drive when Ford hauled in a screen pass from Perry and took it to the end zone on a 32-yard catch and run. On FAU's next possession, Perry hooked up with Je'Quan Burton on a 57-yard pass to set up first-and-goal, and Malcolm Davidson carried on a nine-yard touchdown a play later as the Owls extended their lead to 21-9. Perry found Brandon Robinson with a 30-yard touchdown pass near the end of the third to lead 28-9. Reynolds was 22-for-31 passing for 219 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions for Charlotte, which was held to 77 yards on the ground. - Florida Atlantic/AP College Football

FIU's Max Bortenschlager completed 12 of 27 passes for 263 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Backup Grayson James completed 7 of 12 for 56 yards.

After Fordham drew within 28-14, the Owls scored the game's final 17 points in the fourth. Tim DeMorat threw two touchdown passes but the Rams (0-3) managed only 237 total yards and 11 first downs. FAU had 549 yards and 32 first downs. Perry was 27-of-43 passing for the 278 yards and two scores. His primary target was LaJohntay Wester with 10 receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown. - Florida Atlantic/AP College Football
