Mississippi State rising-sophomore defensive tackle Fabien Lovett has entered the transfer portal per his Twitter account. Lovett -- a former three-star prospect out of Olive Branch in the 2018 class -- announced his decision Friday afternoon. "I have entered the transfer portal with 3 years left of eligibility," he wrote. In 13 games this season, Lovett totaled 19 tackles -- 2.5 for a loss -- and one sack. His announcement comes just one day after he responded to a since-deleted tweet from new head coach Mike Leach depicting a woman knitting a noose for her husband. The 6-foot-4-inch, 315-pound interior lineman responded to the image with the tweet: "Wtf." Leach apologized for the tweet Thursday, writing: "I sincerely regret if my choice of Images in my tweets were found offensive. I had no intention of offending anyone." - The Dispatch

03/11/20 - Marshal Yanda, Sr/2007, Florida State, 6-4, 307 (DS#6 OT) + More +

Former Iowa Hawkeye Marshal Yanda is retiring after 13 NFL seasons in which he was named to the Pro Bowl eight times and helped the Baltimore Ravens win the 2012 Super Bowl. The Ravens made the announcement Tuesday morning on Twitter. Yanda will formally step down in a news conference Wednesday in which he will be joined by general manager Eric DeCosta, executive vice president Ozzie Newsome and coach John Harbaugh. The 35-year-old Yanda played in 191 games, including playoffs, and has been an anchor on the Ravens offensive line since being picked out of Iowa in the third round of the 2007 NFL Draft.

He was a first-team AP All-Pro twice and named to the second team four times, including last season. After the Pro Bowl in January, Yanda said he would decide during the offseason whether to call it a career. "I'm going to take some time over the next month, basically go with my heart and see how I feel," he said. The Ravens made it clear that they wanted him back, especially after he performed at a high level in 2019. - Des Moines Register

03/06/20 - McKenzie Milton, rSr/2022, Florida State, 5-11, 194 (DS#29 QB) + More +

McKenzie Milton was tired, fatigued and, given the import of the occasion, maybe, a little jubilant, too. For the first time in the 15 months since the University of Central Florida quarterback was carted off the field on a stretcher in the final regular-season game of the Knights' 2018 football season, Milton was jogging again. "It was hard, I got tired fast. I definitely hadn't felt that way in a long time, so it was good," he said about a modest jog at the Knights' athletic training facility in Orlando two weeks ago. For the Mililani High graduate, it is a journey best measured not in how far he went that day but in how far he has come since his right leg was left painfully contorted by a hit from a University of South Florida defender.

Back then, as they rushed him to a hospital, there were concerns whether the player who had led the Knights to a 23-game winning streak would even be able to keep his right leg from amputation, much less jog unaided again after suffering torn ligaments, a dislocated knee, a severed artery and nerve damage. But there he was Wednesday on Twitter in a brace, planting on the surgically repaired right leg and flinging passes on the practice field to a distant receiver again, an exercise once routine but now celebrated as a hard-earned milestone. "It felt good, the muscle memory was coming back fairly quickly," Milton said. It was the lower half of the body that took some time to get reacquainted. - Honolulu Advertiser

03/04/20 - McKenzie Milton, rSr/2022, Florida State, 5-11, 194 (DS#29 QB) + More +

Quarterback McKenzie Milton, his surgically repaired right leg encased in a brace, has returned to the practice field for the University of Central Florida football team, firing passes at the start of spring practice. Video of the Mililani High graduate planting the right leg and throwing passes in Orlando, Fla., was posted on the team's Twitter account with the notation, "Progress every day. #10hana," and quickly drew more than 400 comments Wednesday.

Milton was a two-time American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year when he suffered a gruesome injury to his right knee after being hit in the Nov. 23, 2018 regular-season finale against South Florida. Milton tore his lateral collateral ligament and posterior cruciate ligament, dislocated his knee, severed an artery and suffered nerve damage. Initially, there was concern the leg might have to be amputated. Milton underwent several surgeries and months of physical therapy. He continues the rehabilitation process, the school said. - Honolulu Advertiser
