  Covering more than 1,200 miles, all on the road from Oregon to Arizona, gives a man plenty of time to think. Time to hear recruiting pitches. Time to ask questions. Time to choose where to take the next turn on the road. All those hours are welcome if you're a high-profile player in college football's NCAA transfer portal. That's where Tyler Shough found himself in mid-February: in the portal, on the road, hearing his cell phone buzz. Something about Matt Wells and Sonny Cumbie, the research Shough had done on the Texas Tech coaches and the Red Raiders' roster, persuaded him more than anything else. "It was a long process," Shough said this past week.

"That was when I was driving back from Oregon to Arizona, a 21-hour car ride. I was pretty much on the phone that entire time. It really came down to...the opportunity to come in and compete, a coaching staff I had a good relationship with and a good supporting cast around me. "It obviously wasn't an easy decision, because there were a lot of schools that had that offer (extended), but Texas Tech was the best opportunity and overall team that I wanted to be a part of and wanted to grow in. So I'm definitely happy with it and excited to get better." Shough, who started all seven games Oregon played last year during his sophomore season, joined his new team two weeks ago. The Red Raiders have had nine of the allotted 15 sessions of spring practice, Shough having arrived in time to take part in the past seven. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound junior finished degree requirements at Oregon in March. - Lubbock Avalanche Journal

  A newcomer last season, Diaby was an impact player for the Cardinals when he was on the field. He tallied 18 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss in eight games. He missed a few games with an injury and was also part of the defensive line that was out due to COVID-19 protocols. That set him back, he said. But he came into the spring with a new mentality and it's helped him. "I just put in my mind that last season as not a big season for me. I had to adjust myself and tell myself that I needed to come this spring with a better mentality and eager to play and perform better for my team," Diaby said. Diaby is a lock to start at defensive end again next season, barring any kind of injury, and Ivey expects a lot out of the Atlanta native.

He's added about 12 pounds of muscle, but has been more explosive and agile throughout the practices. "I expect an outrageous year out of Yaya as long as he keeps competing like he is," Ivey said. "In my opinion he's one of the guys that is in the hunt for conference and whatever it is. He should be an amazing player this year." Entering the 2021 season, his redshirt junior year, Diaby has high hopes of himself, as well. He knows in order to accomplish those goals, he has to put the work in starting now. By all accounts, he's done just that. "I feel like I've been more consistent and that's all I've been trying to be. Be more consistent, violent and come off the ball strong," he said. - Courier Journal

  When offensive coordinator Alex Golesh was asked this past Saturday to single out receivers who are off to a good start this spring, he selected the unexpected tandem of sixth-year senior Velus Jones, the graduate transfer from Southern California, and sophomore Jimmy Calloway. A 6-foot, 190-pounder from Morrow, Georgia, Calloway had just two receptions for 20 yards last season, with a long of 14 at Vanderbilt. "I think Jimmy Calloway has the right approach every single day," Vols receivers coach Kodi Burns said. "I think he's a kid who's extremely hungry. He was a quarterback in high school, and I think that has translated to the football field as far as being able to pick up the offense really quick and understanding defenses and understanding leverage. "I think that has played to his favor so far." - Chattanooga Times Free Press

  Texas Tech announced Monday that former Oregon quarterback Tyler Shough has arrived on campus and will be in uniform with the Red Raiders when they resume spring practice on Tuesday. Shough announced on Feb. 12 that he was having his name put into the NCAA transfer portal and committed to Tech on Feb. 22, but still had to earn a degree at Oregon to leave as a graduate transfer. He completed coursework this month with dual undergraduate degrees in criminal justice and political science, Tech's announcement said. Tech had its first two spring workouts last week and has 13 of the allotted 15 remaining. When former Tech starter Alan Bowman departed as a transfer, it left the Red Raiders with four-game starter Henry Colombi and a cast of talented but inexperienced candidates at quarterback.

Shough, a nationally sought recruit three years ago, started all seven games Oregon played last season. "We're excited to add a quarterback with Tyler's ability and experience to our quarterback room," Red Raiders coach Matt Wells said in Tech's announcement. "I'm looking forward to watching all of our quarterbacks compete this spring under coach (Sonny) Cumbie, and Tyler will only help in making that position better." - Lubbock Avalanche Journal

  Only one of the quarterbacks currently on campus, Joey Gatewood, has started a game for UK. Beau Allen made brief appearances in two separate games last year. Reading much of anything into how they performed last season is somewhat trivial; they're getting a crash course this spring in new offensive coordinator Liam Coen's system, which puts an increased premium on footwork and has them taking snaps predominantly under center rather than in a shotgun formation. Through three practices, they've adapted well. "Our quarterbacks, they really know where to go with the football," head coach Mark Stoops said following Saturday's scrimmage, in which players wore pads. "Our completion percentage is extremely high, which I really like to see. Very few drops, very few footballs on the ground. I'm pleased with what I'm seeing."

Gatewood is not a stranger to learning a new offense or coaching at the quarterback position. At Auburn, where he played eight games between the 2018 and 2019 seasons before transferring to Kentucky, he had two offensive coordinators: Chip Lindsey, who left to become the head coach at Troy following the 2018 season, and Kenny Dillingham, who bolted for Florida State following the 2019 campaign. Coen is Gatewood's fourth coordinator in as many seasons at the college level. "From Auburn to Kentucky, Kentucky last season to now with a new OC, I'm putting everything together and really just trying to make it one," Gatewood said. "I feel like if I could get that done and I keep on striving every day as well as my teammates with me, I think we'll be pretty good." - Herald Leader

  Former Georgia Southern quarterback Shai Werts decided at the end of his fourth year of starting in Statesboro that it was time for change. Werts knew that if he was to have a better chance at a job in the NFL, he needed to switch positions. The Louisville Cardinals sat at the ready to pluck him from the transfer portal, led by wide receivers coach Gunter Brewer, who had been waiting to coach Werts since 2016, when Brewer was in the same position at North Carolina. "I had the pleasure of recruiting him at North Carolina, along with a lot of other Power Five and ACC schools that wanted him to play receiver at that time," Brewer said. "He wanted to live the dream playing quarterback, and I don't blame him, went to a place that really fit him well."

Brewer was full of praise for Werts' work ethic and knowledge of the game, saying he was a great fit for the Cardinals. Werts made good as a quarterback at GS, guiding the Eagles to three bowl games and earning MVP awards in the 2018 Camellia Bowl victory against Eastern Michigan and in the 2020 New Orleans Bowl win over Louisiana Tech. Werts finished his GS career with 3,777 yards passing, 3,083 rushing and 68 total touchdowns in the Eagles' run-first option offense. - Savannah Morning News

  When Kenderick Duncan Jr. entered the transfer portal, he was worried about starting over. A redshirt junior at Georgia Southern, Duncan was an All-Sun Belt Conference player for the Eagles. Still, he decided to enter the transfer portal after the 2020 season and found his place at Louisville with defensive coordinator Bryan Brown. In Brown's system, Duncan feels comfortable because it's similar to what he ran at Georgia Southern. "After talking to coach Brown and coach (Scott) Satterfield, it made me feel that if I come to Louisville, I will be at home," Duncan said. "I don't have to feel out of place. I won't feel like a random kid. They treat me like I was part of the family. They made me feel welcome and we adapted to everything."

On paper, it was a perfect partnership. Duncan gets his chance to play Power 5 football and Louisville gets a safety with in-game experience to lead the backend of its secondary. A few months into the change, Duncan has impressed many people at Louisville through his play on the field - and off. "He looks it but he also plays like it," Brown said. "He's a smart cat that understands what we are doing. He was in a similar defense before so he's able to teach our younger guys calls and checks." - Savannah Morning News

  Louisville is five practices into its spring session and defensive line coach Mark Ivey has been impressed by his group. The Cardinals return every defensive lineman from last year, with the exception of starting nose tackle Jared Goldwire. The All-ACC honorable mention honoree from last year entered the NFL Draft instead of using his extra year of eligibility. Still with so many players back, and the addition of five freshmen, Louisville is hopeful its defensive line can take a step forward and get more pressure on the quarterback.

One player making a strong impression through the first full week of practice is defensive end Yaya Diaby. Diaby, a former junior college All-American, was dominant through the first week of practice, Ivey said, and has continued that dominance into the second week. "He's been much more consistent, but when he makes up his mind to go there's not much you can do with him," Ivey said. A newcomer last season, Diaby was an impact player for the Cardinals when he was on the field. He tallied 18 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss in eight games. He missed a few games with an injury and was also part of the defensive line that was out due to COVID-19 protocols. That set him back, he said. - Courier Journal

  A crowded but largely unproven Texas Tech quarterback room just gained a transfer with starting experience. Tyler Shough, who started all seven games for Pac-12 champion Oregon last season and led the Pac-12 in passer rating, announced Monday on social media that he's transferring to Tech. He had been viewed as the top quarterback in the transfer portal after announcing his decision to exit Oregon earlier this month. Shough has three remaining seasons of eligibility, rare for a grad transfer. Blessed with good size (6-5, 221 pounds), Shough was ranked as the No. 1 prospect in Arizona in the Class of 2018. He redshirted as a freshman, backed up future NFL first-round pick Justin Herbert in 2019 and won the starting job last season. Shough completed 63.5% of his passes for 1,559 yards. He had 13 touchdown passes and six interceptions and also ran for 271 yards and two touchdowns. But Oregon also used Anthony Brown at quarterback late in the season, and Shough sat for a long stretch in the Fiesta Bowl loss to Iowa State. - Dallas Morning News

  Former Oregon starting quarterback Tyler Shough is transferring to Texas Tech. There is a chance Tyler Shough could play against the Ducks if the former Oregon starting quarterback exhausts his collegiate eligibility. Shough, who entered the NCAA transfer portal Feb. 12 as a graduate transfer, announced Monday that he is headed to Texas Tech. After completing completing 63.5% of his passes for 1,559 yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions in 2020, Shough still will be classified as a redshirt sophomore in 2021 with the NCAA granting an extra year of eligibility due to the pandemic. Oregon is scheduled to play Texas Tech on Sept. 9, 2023, in Lubbock, Texas, when Shough could be a sixth-year senior. - Register Guard

  Texas Longhorns offensive lineman Willie Tyler entered the NCAA transfer portal on Tuesday, as first reported by Inside Texas. A fourth-year player in 2021, Tyler was a late addition to the 2019 recruiting class by the Longhorns after spending one season at Iowa Western. Originally from Wisconsin, Tyler played defensive line in high school and signed with Garden City CC in 2017, but left the program before appearing in a game. The next season at Iowa Western, Tyler made the transition to the offensive line. - Burnt Orange Nation

  Oregon dropped out of the polls to end the 2020 season. The Ducks (4-3) fell from No. 25 with 126 points in the final AP poll of the regular season to 21 points in what would be No. 29 in the final AP poll of the 2020 season and from No. 26 (115 points) to No. 27 (36 points) in the coaches poll following their 34-17 loss to Iowa State in the Fiesta Bowl. It's the second time in three years Oregon will finish the season unranked in the AP poll. - The Oregonian

  Syracuse running back Jawhar Jordan is seeking a transfer after an injury-shortened season. Jordan wrote on Twitter he put his name into the transfer portal, a process that allows other coaches to recruit him. He suffered a season-ending lower-leg injury in the third game, paving the way for freshman Sean Tucker to take over as the team's primary ball carrier. - The Post-Standard
