  With all five starters returning, where graduate transfer T.J. Fiailoa fits on UL's offensive line remains uncertain. The former UL Monroe guard is expected to have a role of some sort for the rival Ragin' Cajuns in 2021. But precisely what that is still isn't clear even as the Cajuns, whose spring game Thursday (7 p.m., ESPN+) at Cajun Field, head into their final week of spring practice. "The plan with him was bring him in, take advantage of his experience, get him ready to help us out immediately," said Jeff Norrid, UL's first-year offensive line coach. "We've kind of had a slower process with him, kind of mentally helping him get into shape, helping him learn the offense, learn the techniques, the terminology and all that stuff. "He's a super smart guy. Very high football IQ. And his experience shows. It does," Norrid added. "I'm really excited about him and what he brings to the table." - The News-Star

  Former Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez has found a new home, and he's bringing his son along for the ride. Rodriguez on Tuesday was named the associate head coach and offensive coordinator at Louisiana-Monroe. Rodriguez will work for new Warhawks coach Terry Bowden. Rhett Rodriguez will be joining his father at ULM as a graduate transfer. The quarterback, who spent the past four seasons at Arizona, will have two years of eligibility remaining. Rhett Rodriguez, who attended Catalina Foothills High School, appeared in 11 games for the Wildcats. He completed 51 of 100 passes for 578 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions. - Arizona Star News

  Purdue will have fewer players available for Saturday's game against Nebraska after coach Jeff Brohm said Thursday a "handful of guys" have opted out of the 2020 season. The exact number isn't known, other than Brohm confirming earlier in the week that receiver Jared Sparks was one of the players. He said Thursday that receiver Amad Anderson has entered the NCAA transfer portal. The key question - are there any starters or players who've seen significant snaps among the opt-outs? The other question is why now with the season about to end? The reason probably varies from player to player, including dealing with COVID-19 and other factors. "It's all personal reasons and it's always a little of this and a little of that to it," Brohm said. "I don't want to get into the specifics, but we've had multiple people." Brohm did say since Sparks is a fifth-year year, he's not "anticipating him coming back but we'll talk to him afterwards." He added the players who have opted out for this season remain on scholarship for now. - Journal and Courier

  Louisiana-Monroe is proving why 2020 is the wrong year to have a bad season. The Warhawks have lost 15 players to coronavirus-related opt-outs, the transfer portal and other departures since spring practice ended. ULM fell to a program-worst 0-7 overall record and 0-4 in the Sun Belt Conference following a 31-13 loss to Appalachian State on Saturday. "Those are all new things obviously that have added to it, coupled with the fact we're not playing well," ULM head coach Matt Viator said. "We still have plenty of guys to play, but it's affected the way we practice. Numbers always do that, whether it's injuries, quits or opt-outs."

Wide receiver Zach Jackson and defensive end Ivin White Jr. placed their names in the transfer portal last week, joining running back Kayin White, offensive lineman Chance Billington, cornerback Tajhnick Bishop, linebacker Rashaad Harding, safety Logan Wilson and cornerback Jordan Oliver. Harding, Wilson, wide receiver Brandius Batiste and defensive tackle Ed Haralson opted out of playing this season due to COVID-19. Running back Jakyle Holmes, wide receiver C.J. Fletcher, running back Javin Myers, defensive end Brandon Nettles and defensive tackle Dayonte Roberts are no longer on the team. - The News-Star

  Sophomore Sir'Darrius Ellis made the most of his first career start. With Mason Husmann out with an injury, Ellis stepped in at nose tackle and made eight tackles, tied with defensive end Ty Shelby for third on the team. Ellis also contributed on special teams. On fourth-and-3 at the ULM 43-yard line, Ellis stopped C.J. Wright short of the sticks on fake punt with 7:35 left in the second quarter. A Monroe-native, Ellis joined the team as a walk-on out of Ouachita Parish High School. His brother, Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Justin "Jellybean" Ellis, starred for Neville High School and Louisiana Tech. - The News-Star

  The 2020 season hasn't been kind to a Louisiana-Monroe football team still seeking its first win. The Warhawks were dealt another blow on Monday. Cornerback Corey Straughter announced on Twitter that he will have season-ending wrist surgery. Straughter suffered the injury during August camp. In three starts, the preseason All-Sun Belt selection made four tackles with one pass breakup. - Monroe News-Star

  Williams is one of several Deacons who can improve their standing this season in the eyes of NFL scouts. In the last seven games of 2019, Williams had 60 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and 5 1/2 tackles for loss. Williams entered Wake Forest with Basham and heads into his fifth season. But this is the first season Williams enters as a starter, which gives you an idea of his growth for the past four years. Williams came to Wake Forest as a high school running back and was moved to defense, where he initially was a rover in Mike Elko's defense. As Elko moved on and was replaced by Jay Sawvel, who then was replaced by Lyle Hemphill, Williams has had to adjust along the way - and it wasn't until the second half of last season that he shined for an extended period of time.

In the last seven games of 2019, Williams had 60 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and 5 1/2 tackles for loss. He took over at BUCK linebacker after Justin Strnad's season-ending injury and proved to be more than a capable replacement - now he gets to display his aptitude for a full season. Assistant coach for defense Dave Cohen mentioned last week that the Deacons have been lining Williams up in the same ways that Strnad was used last season as a third-down pass-rusher - an aspect that helps his preparation for an NFL opportunity. - Winston Salem Journal
