  Adeyi came out of nowhere to be one of UNT's most productive running backs last season. The former Mansfield Legacy standout transferred in from Division II Harding ahead of last season and quickly worked his way into UNT's plans. He rolled up 496 rushing yards and six touchdowns, making him UNT's third leading rusher in a deep and talented backfield. Adeyi rushed for 99 yards in a loss to Liberty. He scored two touchdowns in UNT's win over Rice, including the game-winner on a 1-yard plunge in overtime. - Denton Record

  Growing up, Antoine Booth took any opportunity to visit James Madison in order to catch a game inside Bridgeforth Stadium. A young football player at the time, Booth watched as the Dukes battled Colonial Athletic Association foes like Richmond and William & Mary. As he sat in the stands, Booth had the thought of playing at JMU creep into the back of his mind. Booth's father, Tony, starred for the Dukes during his four years in Harrisonburg. The older Booth was a two-time All-American, set the single-season interceptions record in 1997 (now second-most) and was drafted in the seventh round by the Carolina Panthers the following season.

Fast forward to this week and Antoine, a Michigan State defensive back, announced he was transferring to JMU, following in his father's footsteps. Booth said his dad never pressured him to pick the Dukes, but was happy when he told him he was trading his green and white in for purple and gold. "To be honest, it was a dream come true to be able to commit to JMU," Booth said. "This was something that I loved. I've always had love for JMU." The former Spartan only spent a couple weeks in the transfer portal after entering the NCAA's revolving door after Michigan State's spring game. - Daily News-Record

  Just after Nehki Meredith announced his commitment to James Madison on Wednesday evening, he was playing basketball at the Dukes' student university rec center. The NC State transfer defensive back was quickly taken in by the Dukes' players when he arrived for a visit earlier in the day and he already knew a few of them from the Hampton Roads area. He wasn't the only Power 5 defensive back to announce his decision to transfer to JMU on Wednesday, joined by Michigan State corner Antoine Booth as the Dukes continue to boost their secondary with FBS transfers.

Meredith, who played at Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School, was teammates with Dukes' cornerback John Ransom and played against running backs Latrele Palmer and Kaelon Black during their prep years. The Virginia Beach native was also on the same youth basketball team as Dukes' linebacker Taurus Jones, so JMU felt like home. - Daily News-Record

  During James Madison's spring camp, head coach Curt Cignetti said the James Madison Dukes might look for a wide receiver in the transfer portal. The Dukes were thin at the position at times during spring practices and were in the market to add depth. Less than a week after the team wrapped up its spring camp, James Madison coach Curt Cignetti gained a commitment from East Carolina transfer wide receiver Troy Lewis. Lewis is the third FBS transfer the Dukes have gained a commitment from this spring, joining Rutgers defensive lineman Jamree Kromah and Liberty offensive lineman Andrew Adair.

For Lewis, a Richmond native, the opportunity to play at JMU was one he couldn't pass up. When he entered the portal, he said his goal was to end up in Harrisonburg. Soon after, wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan reached out. The former three-star recruit out of Matoaca High School said he heard from a number of schools during his 10 days in the transfer portal, but the Dukes were at the top of his list. - Daily News

  It's no secret that JMU is in the middle of a three-way quarterback competition between graduate student and Colorado State transfer Todd Centeio, redshirt freshman Billy Atkins and true freshman Alonza Barnett III. Cignetti has liked what he's seen out of each quarterback at times this spring, but isn't going to rush naming the starting signal-caller. "I think it's a three-way quarterback battle. It's definitely going to go into the fall," Cignetti said. "There will not be a decision this spring, that's for sure." Throughout the spring, Cignetti has said that he's looking for clear separation between the quarterbacks to name a starter. So far, none of the quarterbacks have pulled away from the others at this point in practice.

Centeio and Atkins have split first-team reps evenly this spring, alternating days with the starting group, except for last Saturday, when Barnett earned first-team reps. In that case, Centeio and Atkins worked with the second and third teams during the open part of practice. Centeio is the only quarterback on the roster with significant playing time, starting at both Colorado State and Temple in past seasons. Last season with the Rams, Centeio threw for almost 3,000 yards and 12 touchdowns, adding a pair of scores on the ground. - Daily News-Record

  Dylan Morris knows the difference. Last fall, the 6-foot, 202-pound quarterback was the unfortunate face of an offensive implosion - and thus, an easy target. He completed 60.6% of his passes and threw for 2,458 yards with 14 passing touchdowns and three rushing scores. He also threw more interceptions (12) than any other quarterback in the Pac-12 Conference. In an equally unforeseen and unacceptable 4-8 season, Morris was handed the reins to a helplessly archaic offense - and both he and the Huskies struggled. The sophomore passer from Puyallup said Wednesday, following Washington's 10th practice of the spring, it was "most definitely" the most difficult season of his career.

And as Morris sputtered, the social media masses stewed. The former Graham-Kapowsin quarterback and four-star recruit received ridicule from an enthusiastically vocal faction of the Husky fan base, while Sam Huard - a five-star freshman and perceived savior - waited teasingly in the wings. Morris, of course, understands the spotlight that accompanies his specific position. But he won't stare at the sun. "I was off social media all through the season and still am. It's not a real place," he said. "People can say what they want, but it's not a real place. Ninety-nine percent of those people are not going to say anything in person. Honestly, it's more amusing to me when somebody says something (online), because we're out here doing this, and where are they at? "But I just stayed off social media. With that stuff, like I said, it's not a real place. What they say doesn't affect what I can do on the field." - Seattle Times

  The Michigan State football roster continued to churn Tuesday when cornerback Antoine Booth entered the NCAA transfer portal. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound cornerback redshirted last season after joining the program as a three-star prospect from Maryland prep power DeMatha Catholic. Booth is the fifth member of the Spartans' 2021 class to leave the team since last summer. Previously, tight end Kameron Allen, defensive tackle Tyson Watson, edge defender Alex Okelo and safety Michael Gravely Jr. entered the portal. Booth followed only days after the conclusion of spring practice, as he remained buried on a depth chart that includes each of the starting cornerbacks from last season as well as promising transfer Ameer Speed. - Detroit News

  Jones spent the first three years of his college career at Maryland before graduating and moving up the east coast to Boston College for two years. He played in nine games with the Eagles in his first year at Boston College, but suffered a knee injury against Virginia in the team's season finale. That injury limited Jones to just two games in the 2021 season, but he said he feels healthy at the end of the spring practices with JMU. In his transition from Maryland to Boston College, Jones said he got comfortable and it allowed him to become complacent at times. He said he learned his lesson from that and this season, Jones is set on staying outside of his comfort zone with the Dukes. "I actually like feeling uncomfortable because you don't get complacent," Jones said. "When you uncomfortable, your head is down and you on grind mode. I don't want to get complacent." One of the things keeping Jones uncomfortable is learning a new system he hasn't played in before.

At both Maryland and Boston College, Jones played as a single-high safety, but at JMU he's learning the two-high safety shell. Jones, who said he's still learning the defense, isn't afraid to learn from younger players or older players at JMU because he's "new to the program" and is willing to listen to anyone. "Just understanding that I don't have everything together yet, I'm still learning," Jones said. "If it's from a younger guy, I can learn from him. If it's from an older guy, I can learn from him." - Daily News-Record
