07/24/22 - Phillip Webb, rSr/2025, Jackson State + More +

Linebackers Antoine Sampah and Phillip Webb, a pair of top 100 recruits in the 2020 class, are no longer on LSU's football team for medical reasons, a team spokesman confirmed Thursday. Sampah and Webb both dealt with injuries during their careers. They were not listed on an updated version of the online roster. Sampah, a former four-star prospect, appeared in six games over the past two years. After missing the last 10 games of the 2021 season, he didn't participate in spring practice.

Webb, who was ranked No. 57 overall coming out of high school, redshirted as a true freshman. He played in three games last season, recording one tackle and a quarterback hurry. Webb opened the spring as a backup outside linebacker, but he only practiced for one week. Webb wasn't seen the rest of spring. Four scholarship players have now been removed from LSU's roster in the last week: Sampah, Webb, fifth-year senior defensive lineman Jarell Cherry and redshirt junior offensive lineman Thomas Perry. They all managed injuries throughout their careers. - Baton Rouge Advocate

06/07/22 - Rico Powers, rSr/2025, Jackson State + More +

Former South Carolina wide receiver Rico Powers announced his commitment to Jackson State on Sunday via Instagram. He entered the transfer portal on April 20. The one-time four-star recruit was not with the team in his press conference immediately following South Carolina's spring game on April 16. Powers played in two games in 2021, catching a pair of passes for 12 yards while redshirting. He appeared in nine games as a true freshman in 2020, catching two passes for 19 yards.

The Georgia native will be coached by former NFL legend Deion Sanders, who is entering his third year as the head coach at Jackson State. Sanders has now landed nine players from Power Five programs in this transfer cycle, including former South Carolina tight end Keveon Mullins. Mullins, like Powers, was a former four-star recruit who opted to transfer out of USC. He didn't appear in a game last season, but notched a trio of catches for 110 yards in two games during the 2020 campaign after moving from receiver to tight end that spring. - Rock Hill Herald

04/23/22 - Rico Powers, rSr/2025, Jackson State + More +

South Carolina football has lost another wide receiver to the transfer portal. Rico Powers, a 6-foot-2 redshirt sophomore, is the latest Gamecock set to leave Shane Beamer's program, the school confirmed Wednesday. Chris Hummer of 247Sports was the first to report. Powers is the third wide receiver to depart the Gamecocks following spring practice, which ended with the Garnet and Black game last Saturday. Beamer said Powers was not with the team in a press conference after South Carolina's spring game. No details were given on his absence, and it is unknown how long Powers was away from the team. Powers played in two games last season and caught two passes for 12 yards, counting a redshirt year. He appeared in nine games as a true freshman in 2020, catching two passes for 19 yards. - Rock Hill Herald

12/20/21 - Keveon Mullins, rSr/2024, Jackson State + More +

South Carolina is losing another athlete to the transfer portal. Less than an hour after quarterback Jason Brown announced his intention to transfer from USC, a school spokesperson confirmed that tight end Keveon Mullins has entered his name into the transfer portal. David Cloninger of the Post and Courier first reported the news. Mullins was a four-star prospect in the class of 2019 out of Memphis, Tennessee. He was rated the No. 315 player in the class and the No. 18 athlete. The former Whitehaven High School standout had yet to really break into South Carolina's rotation at tight end since arriving in Columbia, but had shown flashes after shifting from receiver to tight end in the spring of 2020. Mullins recorded three catches for 110 yards last season. However, he did not record a single catch this year and appeared in just one game for the Gamecocks. - Rock Hill Herald

12/20/21 - Jason Brown, rSr/2024, Jackson State + More +

Jason Brown won't try to win his job again. South Carolina's starting quarterback is in the transfer portal, he announced on Dec. 15, and will play his final year of football elsewhere as a graduate transfer. Brown, the Gamecocks' third starter this season, saw like everybody else the addition of former top prep prospect Spencer Rattler to the QB room a couple of days ago. Despite being nearly assured to start the Duke's Mayo Bowl on Dec. 30, Brown got a head start on his new recruiting world and hit the transfer portal. Because he has graduated from USC, he can play right away next season at any school he chooses. When Rattler committed the night of Dec. 13, it threw college football for a loop, and the trickle-down effect immediately landed at USC. Coach Shane Beamer held a team meeting the next day and stressed that competition would always be a hallmark of his program, but Rattler's addition made the picture very clear. - The Post and Courier

12/04/21 - James Houston, rSr/2022, Jackson State + More +

Isaiah Bolden returned a kick-off 91 yards and James Houston IV picked off a pass in the backfield and returned it five yards for a score as Jackson State broke open a tight game in the third quarter to beat Prairie View A&M 27-10, and win its first Southwestern Athletic Conference championship in 13 years Saturday. The Tigers (11-1) also wrapped up the school's first 11-win season. Jackson State's defense forced four turnovers from Prairie View quarterback Jawon Pass, picking off three passes and forcing a third-quarter fumble. The graduate transfer from Louisville, who threw for just shy of 2,000 yards, was held to just 6 of 19 for 80 yards. Prairie View scored first. Ty Holden took a pitch from Pass, pulled up and lobbed a pass to a wide-open Jailon Howard for a 35-yard touchdown with 3:25 left in the first quarter.

Jackson State answered with a six-play, 65-yard drive capped by a 16-yard pass to Malachi Wideman from Shedeur Sanders, the SWAC Freshman of the Year and son of coach Deion Sanders. Luis Reyes put the Panthers on top with a 37-yard field goal in the second quarter, but Prairie View did not score again. Bolden took the following kick-off, found a seam and raced 91-yards for the go-ahead touchdown and a 13-10 halftime lead. The Tigers forced a Pass fumble on Prairie View's first possession of the second half, and with the Panthers deep in their own territory, Houston penetrated into the backfield, tipping a swing pass, snatching it out of the air and returning it five yards for a touchdown midway through the third quarter. Jackson State put a bow on its SWAC title with 48-yard drive late in the third quarter capped by a five-yard run from Peytton Pickett, who finished with 107 rushing yards on 19 carries. With the SWAC title comes a berth in the 2021 Celebration Bowl in Atlanta Dec. 18. The Tigers will face Mid-Eastern Conference champion South Carolina State (6-5). - Jackson State/AP College Football
