09/11/21 - Bishop Bonnette, rSr/2022, Florida AM + More +

Jah'Marae Sheread scored on a 34-yard catch-and-run from backup quarterback Rasean McKay on fourth down - breaking five tackles on the way - to spark Florida A&M to a 34-7 victory over Division II-member Fort Valley State on Saturday. McKay's effort on a fourth-and-4 play - in a game that saw a 30-minute lightning delay in the first half - helped the Rattlers (1-1) pull away from a 7-7 halftime tie. McKay took over in the second half for freshman QB Junior Muratovic. A&M's defense got in on the scoring when Isaiah Land forced a fumble on a sack that was scooped up and returned 45 yards for a score by Lerodrick James for a 21-7 lead. Bishop Bonnett added a 12-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. Muratovic connected with tight end Kamari Young for A&M's first TD of the season in the first quarter. The Rattlers were held to two field goals in a 7-6 season-opening loss to Jackson State. Jose Romo-Martinez added two fourth-quarter field goals, including a 49-yarder. - AP College Football

08/21/21 - Bralyn Oliver, rJr/2026, Florida AM + More +

Louisville lost a player to the transfer portal Friday. Freshman safety Bralyn Oliver announced Friday he has entered the transfer portal after arriving at Louisville in January. Oliver, a 6-foot-2 South Carolina native, was a three-star recruit in the 2021 recruiting class. He was expected to be paired with four-star Ben Perry at safety. Perry is still with the team, likely the backup strong safety this season, but Oliver's departure now leaves a whole in the depth chart. The Cardinals don't have a lot of depth at safety and with Oliver gone, it's likely Louisville will utilize corner Chandler Jones at safety this season. Josh Minkins is also still on the roster, but is battling back from a winter injury. - Courier Journal
