Add two more Ohio State football veterans to the list of those unable to practice this spring. Bucknuts first reported that cornerback Sevyn Banks and receiver Kamryn Babb are out for the remainder of spring practice due to injury. An Ohio State spokesperson confirmed both players are unavailable. They join defensive tackle Haskell Garrett, offensive lineman Harry Miller, linebacker Dallas Gant and cornerback Cameron Brown as players known to be out of practice altogether or refraining from contact drills. Banks started all eight games in 2020 at cornerback opposite Shaun Wade. He led the Buckeyes with seven pass breakups along with 23 tackles and one interception. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

03/20/21 - Myles Brennan, rSr/2023, LSU, 6-3, 235 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Imagine a day, years from now, in which an athlete suffers an injury that tore abdominal muscles and ligaments and required surgery. The athlete visits the doctor's office, sits on the examination chair, and the doctor walks up and says, "you're gonna need Myles Brennan surgery." That hypothetical was almost possible. A brand new surgery was almost named after LSU's quarterback, whose season-ending abdominal injury against Missouri last season was so rare that it confounded every specialist he saw. Ed Orgeron's 2021: Winning expectations, 'sense of urgency' and AD's warnings to stay out of politics

Brennan said copies of his MRIs were sent to NFL and MLB franchises, golf and tennis trainers. None of them had ever seen an injury like it before. In an interview with reporters Thursday, Brennan said the doctor he visited in Baton Rouge told him that he had two options: 1) let the injury heal on its own, or 2) undergo a surgery that would be the first of its kind. "Personally, I've never done surgery on this," Brennan said the doctor told him. "So, we'd be naming the surgery after you if you wanted to." - Baton Rouge Advocate

Arkansas' defensive backs had blinders on during the first few days of spring drills under Sam Pittman last week. Literally. Each player in the Razorbacks' defensive backfield ran through position drills, team work and more with white tape attached to the upper-outside sight paths of their facemasks, blocking their periphery. Cornerbacks coach Sam Carter, who is in his second year with the program, was behind the move. "He wants us to keep our eyes in the right spot," Joe Foucha said Tuesday. "It's basically teaching us eye discipline. Don't look back at the quarterback (unless necessary), keep your eyes on your man. Just little things like that. "If it's a run, I know I've got to get in that run fit. I'm not turning my head to see who's trying to crack me. I'm more focusing on the run fit and keeping my eyes on the quarterback." When Arkansas hit the practice field outside Walker Pavilion on Tuesday, the blinders were gone. Carter felt as if the tactic had served its purpose. "Pretty much we kept our eyes on our man," Foucha said. "We didn't look and we kept our eyes on the quarterback if the player had to be looking at the quarterback. We basically kind of completed our task." - Northwest Arkansas Times

03/13/21 - Micah Baskerville, rSr/2023, LSU, 6-1, 224 (DS#32 ILB) + More +

LSU linebacker Micah Baskerville will not participate in spring football while focusing on academics, an LSU official confirmed Thursday. Baskerville still remains on the team, and he is expected to return for the 2021 season. The 6-foot-1, 231-pound junior was a key piece in LSU's defense in 2020, stepping into the starting lineup against South Carolina on Oct. 24. Baskerville started in five games last season and was LSU's fourth-leading tackler with 55 total tackles and 4½ tackles for loss. His role increased late in the season, when he started in five of the final six games in place of Damone Clark. Baskerville missed the Florida game Dec. 12, when he did not make the trip with the team to Gainesville. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Last week, LSU announced that its NFL pro day is scheduled for March 31, and, on Tuesday, the university released of the eight players who will participate in the wake of a canceled NFL combine. The pro day, when NFL scouts test and time LSU's draft-eligible players, is all the more important this year because the annual NFL scouting combine did not happen because of coronavirus concerns. The list includes four players who opted out for the full 2020 season or at least part of the year. LSU wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Terrace Marshall, both considered first-round talents, headline the offensive side while linebacker Jabril Cox, a Butkus Award semifinalist in 2020, is one LSU's top names on defense along with defensive back Kary Vincent, who started at nickel safety in three seasons in Baton Rouge. Safety JaCoby Stevens, fullback/tight end Tory Carter and wide receiver Racey McMath will also participate in the scouting event. - Baton Rouge Advocate

A year after LSU's spring football program was cut short by the coronavirus pandemic, the athletic department has organized a full practice schedule that begins March 16 and ends with a spring game April 17. The schedule, which LSU announced Wednesday, has 15 practices plus the spring game. LSU's pro day is also scheduled for March 31. The pro day, when NFL scouts test and time LSU's draft-eligible players, is all the more important this year because the annual NFL scouting combine did not happen because of COVID-19 concerns. - Baton Rouge Advocate

02/10/21 - Mike Jones Jr., rJr/2023, LSU, 6-0, 227 (DS#40 ILB) + More +

Former Clemson linebacker Mike Jones Jr. has found his new home. Jones announced on Twitter on Wednesday that he is transferring to LSU. He started seven games for Clemson this past season, recording 30 tackles, four tackles for loss and a pair of interceptions. Jones played Clemson's Nickel/Sam spot in Brent Venables' defense, taking over for Isaiah Simmons after he was drafted in the top 10 of the 2020 NFL draft by the Arizona Cardinals. With Jones moving on, rising sophomore Trenton Simpson is the favorite to replace him. Jones signed with Clemson for the class of 2018 as a four-star recruit. - The State

Clemson linebacker Mike Jones Jr. has entered the NCAA transfer portal, becoming the first player to be leaving the Tigers' top 15 defense that was projected to have all 11 starters returning next season.

LSU punter Zach Von Rosenberg has been formally selected by the East-West Shrine Bowl, all-star game officials announced Monday, an honor that will remain in name only because the game was canceled amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Von Rosenberg announced earlier this month that he will enter the NFL draft, ending a decorated career that lasted five seasons in Baton Rouge. Von Rosenberg finished his final season ranked 23rd nationally with an average of 43.95 yards per punt. - Baton Rouge Advocate

LSU safety Todd Harris announced Thursday evening he will be returning for his fifth year with the Tigers. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound junior played in 10 games last season, started in six, and he ranked fourth on the team with two interceptions. Harris completed the full season after missing most of the 2019 season after suffering an ACL tear against Northwestern State. A former four-star recruit in the 2017 class, Harris worked his way up from special teams contributor, role player, to a starter in 2019, when he suffered his injury. - Baton Rouge Advocate

01/13/21 - Austin Deculus, rSr/2022, LSU, 6-5, 322 (DS#34 OT) + More +

LSU starting right tackle Austin Deculus announced Monday night that he will be returning for next season, adding yet another returning piece to an offensive line that now has four of its five starters officially coming back. Starting left tackle Dare Rosenthal remains the only Tigers offensive lineman not to publicly announce his intentions, while left guard Ed Ingram, center Liam Shanahan, right guard Chasen Hines and Deculus have now made theirs known. Deculus, a three-year starter, is perhaps the most crucial piece to return on the offensive line. No lineman has started in as many games as Deculus has in his four-year career (34), and his 6-foot-6, 331-pound frame gives the Tigers an experienced big man on the outside edge in a year in which the unit is looking to rebound. - Baton Rouge Advocate

The 6-foot, 184-pound Lutcher High graduate recorded 13 catches for 184 yards and three touchdowns last season, and he's the first skill player to formally announce his intention to return to the program this offseason. Kirklin is the seventh player to announce he's returning next season instead of entering the NFL draft, and he's the fifth senior to take advantage of another season of eligibility. - Baton Rouge Advocate
