12/11/21 - Nikko Remigio, rSr/2023, Fresno State + More +

Less than one day after wide receiver Trevon Clark declared for the 2022 NFL draft, Cal lost yet another star of its receiving corps: Nikko Remigio. Remigio announced his entry into the transfer portal as a graduate transfer via Twitter. The senior team captain has been an integral part of the Bears' offense since 2018 after recording 903 receiving yards and seven touchdown grabs. Remigio's breakout season came in 2019, in which he racked up 513 yards on 38 receptions. In 2021, Remigio earned a second consecutive honorable mention by the Pac-12 for his prowess as a kickoff returner. With 29.1 yards per reception, Remigio ranked second in the conference and 11th nationally for kickoff return average. - Daily Californian

12/10/21 - Jake Haener, rSr/2023, Fresno State + More +

Jake Haener was once a Washington Husky. Now, it looks like he won't be again. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound quarterback has withdrawn from the transfer portal and will return to Fresno State, according to a report by 247Sports. Haener did not respond to an interview request on Wednesday evening. There were multiple reports last week that Haener would follow head coach Kalen DeBoer and offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Ryan Grubb to Washington, where he signed in 2017 and transferred away from two years later. But Haener told The Times in a text last week that "I haven't committed anywhere yet. So you can squash all the speculation from all those people as of now." Consider the speculation sufficiently squashed. Haener is close with new (and old) Fresno State head coach Jeff Tedford, according to the 247Sports report, and there may have been eligibility concerns related to a UW transfer as well. Because Haener has already transferred once, he would have needed a waiver to be immediately eligible at Washington. - Seattle Times

Jake Haener passed for 306 yards and a touchdown, Jordan Mims rushed for a career-high 186 yards and two scores, and Fresno State handed No. 21 San Diego State its first loss with a 30-20 victory Saturday night. The Bulldogs (7-2, 4-1 Mountain West) raced out to a 20-0 second-quarter lead as they picked up their second win against a ranked team this season. Fresno State had 485 yards of total offense, ending San Diego State's 29-game streak of holding opponents under 450 yards. Haener completed 25 of 42 passes for his sixth 300-yard game this season. After Evan Williams picked off Lucas Johnson and returned it 36 yards to the San Diego State 31, Haener connected with Keric Wheatfall for a 16-yard TD just inside the left pylon 43 seconds into the second quarter to give the Bulldogs a 14-0 advantage.

Mims had his second straight 100-yard game and became the first running back this season to hit the century mark against the Aztecs. The senior had 97 yards in the first half, including a 13-yard score with 3:53 remaining in the first quarter to cap a 15-play, 86-yard drive. Mims also had a 15-yard touchdown during the fourth quarter to extend Fresno State's lead to 30-13. San Diego State (7-1, 3-1) came into the game second in the nation in third-down percentage defense, fourth against the run and fifth in total defense, but it struggled to keep pace. Fresno State converted 9 of 18 third downs and went three-and-out only three times in 13 drives. Johnson had 280 yards of total offense. The senior quarterback was 14 of 31 for 220 yards, a TD and two interceptions along with 60 yards rushing. Greg Bell, who came into the game third in the Mountain West in rushing, was held to 63 yards on 15 carries. - Fresno State/AP College Football

Ronnie Rivers' 64-yard touchdown run with 5:08 left in the first quarter gave the Bulldogs (6-2, 3-1 Mountain West Conference) a 7-3 lead and they led the rest of the way. The game featured the two-highest scoring teams in the conference. The teams combined for 984 yards of total offense.
