Fresno State could be a surprise team in 2021 with that offense. Rivers, who led the conference with 136.3 all-purpose yards per game last season, has landed on watch lists for the Maxwell Award and the Doak Walker Award and the Bulldogs return more than 90% of their rushing and receiving production. They might have to win high-scoring games, just as they did in 2013 when going 11-2 despite allowing 30.3 points per game. But they are capable with better health and continuity up front. Fresno State had the same starting lineup on the offensive line its first four games of 2020, but started different groups in its final two games, a recurring theme over the past two seasons. In 2019, the Bulldogs had four players start at least one game at left guard and three start at least one game at left tackle, center and right guard. "I really think we're going to have a big jump," DeBoer said. "Not only do I think we'll have more depth, but I think that our top-end guys are another year older." - Fresno Bee

05/01/21 - Jake Haener, rSr/2023, Fresno State, 6-0, 207 (DS#10 QB) + More +

Fresno State has not recruited a high school quarterback who has made it from signing day to his senior year since Derek Carr in 2009, a head-scratching run for a program built largely on homegrown talent at the position with a long line of four-, three- and two-year starters. But as Fresno State finishes up its 15 spring practices this week, the Bulldogs are dropping serious hints that in a coronavirus-impacted recruiting season with no on-campus official visits and no face-to-face time they have hit a home run with Chaminade-West Hills quarterback Jaylen Henderson.

The Bulldogs moved redshirt freshman quarterback Jalen Early to tight end, are in no rush to fill an open scholarship in their quarterbacks room and essentially have set up Henderson to compete with redshirt freshman Logan Fife for the No. 2 spot behind starter Jake Haener when Henderson hits campus this summer. "We really like what Jaylen brings, both the physical aspect and also the mental aspect," coach Kalen DeBoer said. "He's just so mature. He's a great leader and he just has a desire to be great in every way. We're fired up, and we're counting on him to have a fast learning curve and understand our offense and make that next step from high school to college in a hurry." - Fresno Bee

04/25/21 - Jaelen Gill, rSr/2024, Fresno State, 6-0, 189 (DS#64 WR) + More +

Along with the sentimental value of players' parents seeing them play for what's likely the first time in almost two years, the Spring Game also provides an opportunity for the Eagles to showcase their offseason improvements. "[Jaelen Gill] is one of the guys that have really made the biggest steps so far this spring," backup quarterback Dennis Grosel said during Thursday's press conference. "He's been really working hard. He's getting comfortable with everything. That's really what it ties in to. It's just another year in the same system." Gill, a transfer from Ohio State, broke out last season with 435 yards on 29 receptions. With star receiver Kobay White's absence due to a knee injury last season, Gill became a fundamental part of a receiving core that remains almost fully intact going into the 2021 season. - The Heights

03/21/21 - Aaron Mosby, rSr/2022, Fresno State, 6-3, 250 (DS#39 DE) + More +

Arron Mosby is lining up at defensive end this spring, a move that has been anticipated since he came into the program five years ago as a highly regarded safety from Sanger High. He also is wearing No. 3, not No. 15, the number worn by former Bulldogs' defensive end/linebacker Mykal Walker, the fourth-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in the 2020 NFL Draft. Mosby, who is up to 247 pounds, gives the Bulldogs another dynamic presence off the edge, coming off a season in which they were third in the nation with 4.2 sacks per game. The challenge this spring, he said, will be working on his hands and dealing with a 300-pound tackle on every play. "I'm trying to learn from those guys, (David) Perales, Kevin Atkins, Kwami (Jones), those three main guys right there that are really holding down the D-line," Mosby said. "Me, I'm just trying to help the team out as much as I can. Moving to D-end is a huge step, but I'm ready for the challenge." - Fresno Bee

01/14/21 - Ty Jones, rSr/2023, Fresno State, 6-4, 210 (DS#999 WR) + More +

On Dec. 5, Ty Jones stuck out his right hand and snared a looping football for a 42-yard gain in a 31-26 home loss to Stanford. In the next drive, he followed that up with an almost equally impressive 37-yard reception. They were the last two catches of his UW career. On Wednesday, the 6-foot-4, 200-pound redshirt junior wide receiver announced his plans to make a graduate transfer. Jones, who has two seasons of eligibility remaining, made 44 catches for 702 yards and six touchdowns over 32 career games at UW. He led the Huskies with six receiving scores in 2018, but appeared in just four games and did not register a reception the following season while battling a wrist/hand injury. The former four-star recruit added six catches for 140 yards in four games last fall. - Seattle Times

01/10/21 - Ronnie Rivers, rSr/2022, Fresno State, 5-08, 198 (DS#44 RB) + More +

Fresno State running back Ronnie Rivers said on Friday that he would return for a second senior season of football, taking advantage of eligibility relief granted all fall sports student-athletes due to the coronavirus pandemic and bolstering a Bulldogs' offense that last season led the Mountain West Conference in total offense and was second in scoring offense. Rivers also will have a chance to move up the Bulldogs' all-time rushing and scoring lists and finish his career as one of the most prolific skill position players in their history.

The senior running back ended a truncated 2020 season with 44 career touchdowns, tied with Anthony Daigle atop the Bulldogs' Top 10 list. He also is tied for third with Daigle for career rushing touchdowns with 35, four behind all-time leader Ryan Mathews; and seventh on the all-time rushing list with 2,629 yards, a 1,000-yard season from moving past his father, Ron Rivers, who is second with 3,473 yards. - Fresno Bee

01/07/21 - Isaac Garcia, rSr/2022, Fresno State, 6-3, 256 (DS#999 DE) + More +

Oregon State redshirt junior Isaac Garcia announced Tuesday that he plans to leave the football program and become a graduate transfer. The 6-foot-4, 255-pound outside linebacker spent four years with the Beavers, playing 26 games over the past three years. Garcia has two years of eligibility remaining. Garcia was part of a talented Oregon State outside linebacker corps, and was unable to crack the two-deep for most games the past two seasons. Garcia had three tackles in seven games this past season. In 26 career games, Garcia had five tackles and one fumble recovery. Garcia joins Hamilcar Rashed Jr. as OSU outside linebackers planning to leave the program following the 2020 season. - The Oregonian
