09/11/21 - Austin Kendall, rSr/2022, Louisiana Tech + More +

Austin Kendall threw for a touchdowns and rushed for another, Greg Garner scored three times and Louisiana Tech edged Southeastern Louisiana 45-42 on Saturday night. However, it took a fumble recovery by Cedric Woods in the final minute to secure the win. Southeast Louisiana quarterback Cole Kelley ran for 16 yards on third-and-10 from his 19 but was stripped by Ezekiel Barnett, although the first down would have been nullified by a penalty.

Garner had back-to-back touchdowns in the third quarter to give the Bulldogs (1-1) 10-point leads in the shootout. The first came when Kendall threw a backwards pass to wide receiver Kyle Maxwell, who threw the ball into the end zone, where Garner hauled it in while being hit. Garner got his second rushing touchdown after the second of Kelley's three TD passes. Kelley was 44 of 59 for 453 yards with two interceptions and scored twice on the ground while leading the Lions (1-1) in rushing with 42 yards. CJ Turner had eight catches for 131 yards. The Lions had 556 total yards but 10 penalties cost them 100 yards and they had three turnovers. Kendall was 20 of 28 for 250 yards. - Louisiana Tech/AP College Football

08/07/21 - Jakelyn Morgan, rSo/2026, Louisiana Tech + More +

Arizona's starting cornerbacks this year will most likely be returning star Christian Roland-Wallace and Notre Dame transfer Isaiah Rutherford, who was one of 13 players Fisch and Co. scooped from the transfer portal. The reserve scholarship cornerbacks? Junior McKenzie Barnes and redshirt Malik Hausman, walk-on Treydan Stukes - and Morgan, an incoming freshman.

Barnes had a promising start to his Arizona career, playing in nine games as a freshman, but his productivity on the field has tapered since the 2018 season, while Hausman has mostly served as a special teams player in four years. Initially recruited by Kevin Sumlin, Morgan remained committed and signed with the Wildcats. He told the Star in April: "I'm 100% confident they can coach me and turn me into a man and a great player and get me to my goal, which is the NFL." Morgan's lengthy frame and athleticism coupled with Arizona's lack of scholarship cornerbacks could get him on the field sooner than later. - Arizona Republic

07/12/21 - Austin Kendall, rSr/2022, Louisiana Tech + More +

Louisiana Tech football has announced the addition of three transfers to its roster including quarterback Austin Kendall. Also joining La Tech are running back Keyon Henry-Brooks and cornerback Jacquez Payton. All three have the potential to be starters this season. Kendall is graduate transfer after spending three seasons at Oklahoma before transferring to West Virginia. He appeared in 11 games in two seasons for the Mountaineers, throwing for 2,153 yards and 14 touchdowns. In 2019 he started nine games and had 1,989 yards and 12 touchdowns to rank seventh in the pass-heavy Big 12 in yards per game with 221. He had a decreased role in 2020, completing just 11-of-23 attempts for 164 yards and two touchdowns. - Monroe News Star

05/27/21 - Jay Wilkerson, rSo/2027, Louisiana Tech + More +

The first wide receiver to commit to Washington State under Nick Rolovich is looking to continue his college football career elsewhere. Jay Wilkerson, a Texas native who initially committed to Rolovich at Hawaii and flipped less than a month after the coach accepted a job at WSU, has entered the NCAA transfer portal, Rivals.com reported Monday. Wilkerson made his college debut in the second half of WSU's blowout loss at USC last fall and recently completed his first spring camp with the Cougars, making two catches for a team-high 50 yards in the Crimson and Gray Game. Wilkerson recorded just one other catch, for nine yards, in the team's two other spring scrimmages. A three-star prospect who also had college offers to Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota and Oklahoma State, Wilkerson had the ability to play both as an inside receiver but wasn't considered to be a first- or second-string option at either position by the end of spring camp. - Spokesman-Review

05/02/21 - *Milton Williams, rJr/2021, Louisiana Tech + More +

Not everyone is always on the same page in NFL Draft war rooms. On Friday, an uncomfortable exchange between Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and senior scout Tom Donahoe was caught on camera following the selection of Louisiana Tech defensive lineman Milton Williams. Roseman fist-bumped everyone in the room, but Donahoe was hesitant. "When we were at pick 70, there were a couple of guys that we liked on the board," Roseman told the media Friday. "We moved back a little bit to see how it would go. A couple of guys that we liked went as well. "These guys spend all year scouting these guys. You get favorites, you get guys that you feel really strongly about. We all do. That's the fun part about being in the draft room is the emotions of it." Philadelphia traded down from No. 70 to No. 73 and chose Williams in the third round to close out the second day of the draft. - Monroe news star

02/25/21 - Keyon Henry-Brooks, rJr/2024, Louisiana Tech + More +

The Vanderbilt football program is losing its leading rusher from last season. Running back Keyon Henry-Brooks has announced that he will enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. He is the second running back to transfer, joining Jamauri Wakefield, who entered the portal on Dec. 28, just two weeks after new coach Clark Lea was hired. Henry-Brooks will have two years of eligibility left, with the potential for a redshirt. Henry-Brooks played in six of Vanderbilt's nine games, starting in five of them, as a sophomore in 2020. He rushed 120 times for a team-high 494 yards and two touchdowns. He also tied for second on the team in receptions with 28, amassing 258 yards through the air. He was also one of only four Commodores to score multiple touchdowns, and he led the team in all-purpose yards per game with 125.3. - The Tennessean

02/12/21 - Craig Williams, rSr/2024, Louisiana Tech + More +

Baylor's run game left much to be desired, ending 2020 ranked last in the Big 12 with just 813 rushing yards. With star running back Craig "Sqwirl" Williams expected to return from injury next season, will this group make a comeback in 2021? Williams was supposed to take 2020 by storm. The three-year veteran has battled injuries throughout his career and sat the 2019 season out. He returned as the Bears' leading rusher last season, but the campaign was cut short after he suffered a season-ending knee injury in October. While Williams is expected to make a healthy return, there's some concern on whether he'll be able to avoid the injury bug. - Dallas Morning News

Keyshawn "KP" Paul joins the Owls after two seasons as a member of the UConn Huskies. Paul, a junior, entered the transfer portal after the Huskies opted not to field a team in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Miami, Florida, native played defensive back in all of UConn's games in 2019 and all but one during his freshman campaign in 2018. During the 2019 season, he accumulated 36 tackles, 2.5 TFLs and an interception. While attending Jackson High School, Paul was a three-sport athlete. He played football, basketball and ran track and field. - Temple Football

01/14/21 - Elijah Hamilton, rSr/2022, Louisiana Tech + More +

Two SEC defensive backs announced they would be transferring to the Bulldogs as Vanderbilt cornerback Elijah Hamilton and Tennessee defensive back Baylen Buchanan made announcements on Twitter. Tech picked up two players with more than 60 total games of experience, and the added bonus of the playing time in college football's top conference. Both are graduate transfers and will use their final year of eligibility in Ruston in 2021.

Both are sons of former NFL players. Elijah Hamilton's father is Ruffin Hamilton, who was a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons. Baylen Buchanan's dad is Ray Buchanan, who spent time with the Indianapolis Colts, Falcons and Oakland Raiders and was a two-time Pro Bowler. Elijah Hamilton appeared in 33 games with the Commodores in three seasons and put together his best statistical season in 2020 with 24 tackles and three pass breakups. A three-star recruit out of Blessed Trinity Catholic School in Roswell, Georgia, he considered Army and Navy but ultimately signed with Vanderbilt in 2016. - Monroe News Star

Kellton Hollins, a senior center from Lousiana, announced Monday via Twitter that he will enter the transfer portal. Hollins played in seven of the Frogs 10 games this season including one start against West Virginia. What made Hollins a standout player was not necessarily what he did on the field but what he did off of it. He was passionate about making a difference at TCU and leaving his mark on the campus which he did by heading a project where the words "END RACISM" were painted outside of TCU's football and basketball stadiums. He invited students, faculty and staff to sign their names on the mural. - Dallas Morning News

West Virginia quarterback Austin Kendall plans to play elsewhere next season.
