LSU quarterback Myles Brennan broke his left arm Sunday night as he prepared for a fishing trip in Grand Isle during his final week off before preseason practice, his father Owen said Wednesday afternoon during an interview with WWL-FM, 105.3. An avid fisherman during his spare time, Brennan was holding his equipment, and his flip-flop got caught on a loose board, his father said. Brennan tripped and fell on his left arm, unable to brace himself with his hands full.

The fifth-year senior thought he bruised his arm, but the next morning, he realized the injury was more significant. Brennan then drove himself to Baton Rouge, where doctors discovered a compound fracture in the middle of his humerus, Brennan's father said. "He could have been anywhere, anytime, and this accident could have happened," Owen Brennan said. "It was just an absolute freak accident. He was not doing anything that he was not supposed to be doing. Sometimes that's even harder to take." LSU hadn't disclosed how Brennan hurt his arm. The injury required surgery, which Brennan had Tuesday morning. Brennan would have competed with sophomore Max Johnson throughout preseason practice to start the season opener Sept. 4 against UCLA. Coach Ed Orgeron named Johnson the starter after Brennan's injury. - Baton Rouge Advocate

08/07/21 - Jayden Daniels, rSr/2024, LSU, 6-3, 210 (DS#2 QB) + More +

After playing just four games last season, Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels is chomping at the bit to show how much improvement he has made. Daniels has high expectations after being placed on the preseason watch lists for several awards, including the Maxwell Award for most outstanding player. He will have to prove he belongs on those lists after playing in limited action a year ago. "Improving body-wise, physically, mentally, taking my game to another level. I feel like I took that big step from last year to this year and today I felt like it showed," Daniels said after the team's first practice.

There is also the complication of mastering the nuances implemented by second-year offensive coordinator Zak Hill. "I mean, you can see just the growth from last year to this year in the offense. It's a little more comfortable to be able to go out there and check the plays and do other things," Daniels said. "It just came through building that relationship with Coach Hill over the spring." Daniels said he and Hill talk daily. "We talk to each other about what I can do better," Daniels said. "He's going to call plays but at the end of the day, it's up to me to make the plays right." - ArizonaSports.com

08/04/21 - Myles Brennan, rSr/2023, LSU, 6-3, 235 (DS#999 QB) + More +

And just like that, LSU's quarterback battle became a vigil. The thunderclap news Monday that quarterback Myles Brennan suffered what coach Ed Orgeron ominously referred to as a "severe injury" to his left arm turned the thoughts and expectations about the coming football season on their collective earhole. A 50-50 fencing duel across August between Brennan and Max Johnson to become LSU's starting quarterback? Not happening. A chapter of plays in new offensive coordinator Jake Peetz's playbook, designed to feature Johnson's RPO threat? May have to be edited out or toned down, at least for now. At the moment, LSU's only other scholarship quarterback is the never-taken-a-snap-in-college freshman Garrett Nussmeier.

Hopes of returning to the glory days of 2019 (everyone is hoping for that, one way or another) and a dark-horse run at the College Football Playoff? Could still happen, but now marinating in a gumbo pot of anxiety. But it could just as easily have been Brennan. Beyond an Xs-and-Os standpoint, I expected Brennan would get the nod, all else being equal. The worry that had to gnaw at Orgeron was that if he picked Johnson as his No. 1 QB, Brennan might bolt to another school. Even on the eve of the season. It would have been, for lack of a better term, more politically prudent for Orgeron to pick the senior Brennan and make the sophomore Johnson wait his turn, just as long as he didn't vastly outperform the veteran in camp. Now, Brennan has to wait again. And you have to wonder if his turn at bat will ever come back around. - Baton Rouge Advocate

08/02/21 - Myles Brennan, rSr/2023, LSU, 6-3, 235 (DS#999 QB) + More +

LSU quarterback Myles Brennan, a fifth-year senior competing to regain the starting job he lost to injury a season ago, now needs surgery to repair what coach Ed Orgeron called a severe left arm injury. Brennan's "timeline is yet to be determined," Orgeron said Monday. "Myles has done everything we have asked of him this summer and was in the fight to be the starting quarterback at LSU." Brennan's injury to his non-throwing arm means sophomore Max Johnson, who went 2-0 as a starter late last season, will enter the start of fall camp Friday with the inside track to start LSU's season opener Sept. 4 at UCLA. Orgeron had said he wouldn't announce a starter until the week of the UCLA game, but left little doubt it would be either Brennan or Johnson. Brennan played in just LSU's first three games in 2020, including much of his third game with the abdomen injury that forced him to miss the rest of the season. - AP College Football

08/01/21 - *Derek Stingley Jr., Jr/2022, LSU, 6-0, 188 (DS#2 CB) + More +

By the standards he set in 2019, LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. had an off year in 2020. He missed the season opener against Mississippi State after becoming "acutely ill" the night before the game. He had just 27 tackles and didn't record an interception after picking off six passes in the Tigers' drive to the national championship. There is no question, though, that big things are expected of Stingley going into his junior season. A scan of college football's preseason award watch lists says that Stingley is regarded as one of the best players in the nation.

Stingley made his fifth watch list Friday when he was one of 35 players named to the list for the Walter Camp Award, like the Heisman Trophy and Maxwell Award given annually to the nation's most outstanding player. Stingley also made the watch lists for the Bednarik Award (defensive player of the year), the Jim Thorpe Award (best defensive back), the Bronko Nagurski Award (best defensive player) and the Paul Hornung Award (most versatile player). The only award watch list that Stingley was eligible for and didn't make was the one for the Maxwell Award. - Baton Rouge Advocate

After wowing LSU fans with his play at cornerback and as a punt returner the past two seasons, Derek Stingley Jr. may get some snaps at wide receiver this fall. While it remains to be seen, the possibility of catching a few passes would make the talented Stingley perhaps the most versatile player in college football - if the two-time All-American hasn't proven it already. Considering that, it was no surprise that Stingley, a 6-foot-1, 195-pound junior, was one of 57 collegians named to the Paul Hornung Award watch list Thursday.

Presented to the most versatile player in major college football, the award is named for the former Notre Dame and Green Bay Packers legend. A member of the College Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame, Hornung played quarterback and halfback and was a kicker during his college and professional career. In 22 career games at LSU, Stingley has recorded 65 total tackles, six interceptions, two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. The former Dunham School star also has averaged 11.3 yards per punt return for his two-year career - getting 16.2 yards per attempt in 2020. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Make that three watch lists for Arizona State football standout Jayden Daniels. This time it is the 2021 Walter Camp Player of the Year honor for which Daniels has earned a spot on the so called "watch list." The list includes 35 players up for the award which goes annually to the country's top player. It is the nation's fourth-oldest individual college football accolade. There are 25 offensive players (13 quarterbacks, eight running backs and four receivers/tight ends) on the preseason watch list along with 10 from the defensive side of the ball.

In all, 29 schools and 11 conferences (including independents) are represented on the list with Iowa State having four players on the list. Defending national champion Alabama has two players on the watch list, along with Notre Dame and Clemson. Considered one of the premiere quarterbacks in the nation heading into the 2021 season. Daniels, a native of San Bernardino, California, has already been named to the Maxwell and Davey O'Brien lists. - Arizona Republic

07/30/21 - *Cade York, Jr/2022, LSU, 6-1, 206 (DS#2 K) + More +

LSU's Cade York got his kicks in the fog last year at Florida with one of the most memorable field goals in program history. Now he's aiming for one of college football's top individual prizes. York was named Wednesday to the 30-man preseason watch list announced by the Palm Beach (Florida) County Sports Commission. A 6-foot-1, 198-pound junior from McKinney, Texas, York was a Lou Groza semifinalist and second-team All-American in 2020. He made 18 of 21 field goals and all 36 extra-point attempts last season after going 21 of 27 on field goals and 89 of 93 on PATs in 2019.

York had his signature moment against the Gators. After an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Florida's Marco Wilson for throwing LSU tight end Kole Taylor's shoe after a tackle, York came on and drilled a school-record 57-yard field goal through the fog in Gainesville. It proved to be the winning points in the Tigers' stunning 37-34 upset of the then No. 6-ranked Gators. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Many college athletes have been busy since the name, image and likeness (NIL) ruling went into effect on July 1, including Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels. Daniels signed his second NIL deal with Venezia's Pizzeria on Tuesday as he continues to spread his brand. The deal includes his very own pizza. "The JD5" comes with pepperoni, sausage, bacon, mushrooms and extra cheese, and customers can get an extra large of the specialty pizza for $24.99. The NIL rule allows college athletes to profit off of their brand. Sports360AZ's Brad Cesmat reported that Daniels get a percentage of each pizza sold.

"It's still crazy to think that my name is on a pizza, and I have my own pizza," Daniels said during the Pac-12's media day on Tuesday. "If you're in Tempe, stop by, support, and show love to the pizza." This partnership comes just nine days after signing his first NIL deal with The Solution, an IV nutrition and hydration clinic in California. A player of Daniels' caliber will surely have more opportunities to profit off his name, image and likeness, but he said he won't let them distract him from his first priority - leading the Sun Devils to their first Rose Bowl since 1996. - ArizonaSports.com

A new week brought new watch list honors for LSU's dynamic cornerback duo of Derek Stingley Jr. and Eli Ricks. Monday, the Tiger All-Americans were named to the watch list for the Jim Thorpe Award, given annually to the nation's top defensive back. Last week, both were named to the watch list for the Bednarik Award, given to the nation's best overall defensive player. Also announced Monday: the watch list for the Butkus Award, given to the top collegiate linebacker. LSU's Damone Clark was the Tigers' entry on that list. Stingley, a 6-1, 195-pound junior from The Dunham School, followed up on his All-American freshman season in 2019 with 27 tackles, five pass deflections, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2020. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. and kicker Cade York were the lone first-team selections from LSU on the preseason All-Southeastern Conference team announced Friday. Stingley and York were among seven LSU players that made the first, second or third teams in a vote of writers and broadcasters who attended SEC Media Days, which closed out a four-day run Thursday in Hoover, Alabama. In addition to Stingley and York, LSU had three players on the second-team offense and two on the second-team defense.

Landing on the second-team offense were wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, guard Ed Ingram and tackle Austin Deculus. LSU's second-teamers on defense were defensive end Ali Gaye and cornerback Elias Ricks. Also, LSU was picked to finish third in the SEC Western Division behind Alabama, which was chosen to win the league's championship game, and Texas A&M. - Baton Rouge Advocate

07/26/21 - Austin Deculus, rSr/2022, LSU, 6-5, 322 (DS#34 OT) + More +

LSU football right tackle Austin Deculus does not foresee a major endorsement via the new freedom that student-athletes have to make money through their name, image and likeness. "I'm not really expecting any NIL deals," the senior from Mamou said with a laugh at the SEC Media Days. "Guys like Derek Stingley, the pretty boys of the team, they're going to be the faces of NIL. I know the only person who loves my face is my girlfriend. That's about it." Stingley, a junior All-American cornerback for the Tigers, has an agreement with Walk-On's restaurants. Senior quarterback Myles Brennan, who will battle with returning sophomore starter Max Johnson for the starting job when practice begins Aug. 6, has agreements with Smalls Sliders and Smoothie King. Hair care, though, could be a possibility for Deculus, whose locks are long enough to stretch out of his helmet. "My fingers are crossed for hair products," he said. "Or food deals. You know, 'He eats this. You can grow up like him." Deculus is 6-foot-6 and 331 pounds, so how about a "Got milk" ad? "I'm not really expecting many things," he said. "I'll take a few here and there. So, I'll just focus on the season." - Lafayette Daily Advertiser

LSU sophomore wide receiver Kayshon Boutte was named Thursday to the Biletnikoff Award Watch list, given annually to the nation's top wide receiver. Former Tigers Ja'Marr Chase and Josh Reed won the award in 2019 and 2001, respectively. Boutte, who is expected to be named Friday to the preseason All-SEC team being voted on this week at SEC Football Media Days, had 45 catches for 735 yards and five touchdowns in 2020. Boutte was also named to the Maxwell Award watch list earlier this week, given annually to the nation's most outstanding player. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Running back is regarded as one of the deepest positions on the Penn State roster entering the 2021 season, and that depth is reflected by the watch list for the award that is given annually to the nation's top running back. Three Nittany Lions running backs - junior Noah Cain, sophomore Keyvone Lee and senior John Lovett - were listed among the 2021 Doak Walker Award candidates, the PwC SMU Athletic Forum announced Wednesday morning. Penn State enters the 2021 season with a unique backfield situation. All five running backs - junior Devyn Ford and sophomore Caziah Holmes round out the group - have game experience, and given how the Nittany Lions have dealt with injuries at the position, any of the five could end the season as the team's leading rusher. - Tribune Review
