  The Bears picked up some experience in the QB room with the grad transfer of former Penn and Western Carolina QB Ryan Glover on Friday. Glover was was on campus Thursday to get a thorough tour of everything and also had a chance to visit his grandma and other family members in the evening. "Everything was super nice," said Glover. "Obviously it's a step up from what I'm used to with Cal being a Power-5 school. Everything seemed very new and organized and I liked how they had all the football facilities in one place." Already holding a degree from Penn, the chance to add a certificate in Business Administration and Management from Cal, as well as play a season under the tutelage of longtime former NFL offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave was too hard for Glover to pass up. "Coach Musgrave has been recruiting me the most over everybody," said Glover. "I'd say he's a very smart, intellectual guy. He has experience with his playing and coaching in the NFL. Just having that type of guy on the staff and being able to be coached by someone like that will take my game to the next level, which is one of the reasons I chose Cal." - Bear Insider

  Shorter emerged as one of UNT's top offensive playmakers in 2019 when he caught 24 passes for 473 yards and nine touchdowns. The hope heading into the 2020 campaign was that Shorter would continue to capitalize on his considerable potential. The Killeen native is one of the fastest players on UNT's roster and is a matchup nightmare due to his size at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds. Those hopes went unfulfilled after Shorter suffered a leg injury in the third week of the season that kept him out the remainder of the year. Shorter will have the chance to return to form this fall and will be key to UNT's reload at wide receiver after losing Jaelon Darden to the NFL. - Denton Record

  Brady White wasn't selected in 2021 draft or was signed as a free agent, but the former Memphis quarterback will start his NFL journey in Tennessee. White was invited to the Titans rookie minicamp, his family confirmed Wednesday to The Commercial Appeal. Minicamps will be held later this month. White left Memphis as the school's all-time leader in passing yards (10,215), touchdowns (90) and wins (28) after three years as the Tigers' starting quarterback. Last season, he led the Tigers to an 8-3 record in his final season, including a win in the Montgomery Bowl. He also had 486 yards and seven touchdowns in the Tigers' 50-49 win over UCF, the largest comeback in school history. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

  Memphis junior running back Tim Taylor is in the transfer portal. Taylor was not on the roster during spring practice. In three seasons, Taylor rushed for 158 yards and scored his lone touchdown last season on a 47-yard run. He appeared in 17 games after graduating from East High School. Taylor, who has two seasons of eligibility remaining, helped East win the Class 4A state championship in 2016 as a senior. The Tigers' running back room is crowded with Rodrigues Clark, Kylan Watkins, Asa Martin and Marquavius Weaver battling for the starting job. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

  Arkansas coach Sam Pittman and receiver Trey Knox are in agreement about the type of player Simeon Blair is. A former defensive back and quarterback at Pine Bluff High School who threw for more than 1,600 yards and 20 touchdowns, Blair appears to have found a fit in the Razorbacks' secondary. And he hasn't been one to shy away from contact this spring. Pittman raved about the redshirt junior's confidence and playmaking after Arkansas' second scrimmage last weekend. He broke up two passes and came away with an interception on a ball he laid out for after it was tipped by freshman receiver Jaedon Wilson.

He has made an impression on Knox. In his six-plus minute interview with reporters on Thursday, the receiver twice labeled Blair a great player. "He will not hesitate to hit you," he added. "The boy is smart. He reads his keys. I mean, he's calling out plays just off of our alignment that we run, and they're jumping routes and they're over there making plays." Blair finished with 23 tackles in 2020 and broke up a pair of passes against Georgia in the season opener and at Mississippi State. His push to becoming a consistent piece in the back end of the Razorbacks' defense can be credited, in large part, to the work he has put in behind the scenes. - Northwest Arkansas Times

  As Memphis prepares to start spring practice on Thursday, the Tigers added one more transfer to help up front. TCU offensive lineman Austin Myers announced Tuesday on Twitter that he committed to the Tigers. Myers entered the transfer portal in January after playing in six games last season and 32 games in four seasons with 18 starts. The 6-foot-5, 290 pound Myers has one year of eligibility remaining. He's also the sixth transfer the Tigers have added this offseason from a school in a Power Five conference. Myers was a versatile lineman during his stint with the Horned Frogs. Last season, he started three games at left tackle and two games at right guard before not playing in the team's final four games. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

  01/31/21 - Joe DoylerSr/2023, Memphis + More +

  The NCAA transfer portal now contains two former University of Tennessee specialists. After senior kicker Brent Cimaglia revealed Friday that he would use his final year of eligibility elsewhere, redshirt junior punter Joe Doyle elected Saturday to leave the Volunteers as well. Doyle, a 6-foot, 204-pounder from Knoxville, was a USA Today Freshman All-America selection in 2018 but was beaten out by Paxton Brooks midway through the 2019 season and did not attempt any punts this past season. The Athletic was the first to report Doyle's departure. Doyle averaged 41.1 yards in 2018, when his 65 punts led the Southeastern Conference. Only eight of his punts were returned for a total of just 15 yards. In Tennessee's 38-12 loss at Georgia that season, Doyle had a career-long 71-yarder. - Chattanooga Times Free Press

  Austin Myers won't return to TCU football next season after all. A week after it looked like Myers would be taking advantage of an extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA to fall sports athletes amid the coronavirus pandemic at TCU, Myers entered the NCAA transfer portal this week. Myers is the 15th player to enter the transfer portal from TCU's 2020 opening-day roster. The Frogs have lost four offensive lineman to the portal who started at least one game last season, including Myers, Quazzel White, Kellton Hollins and T.J. Storment. Myers is a versatile lineman who played tackle and guard in his time at TCU. He opened last season as the Frogs' starting left tackle, playing the first three games there. He then started two games at right guard before missing the final four games. - Fort Worth Star

  The 75th edition of the Hula Bowl is set to kick off on Sunday at Aloha Stadium, showcasing 100 of the nation's best college football seniors.

  Kenneth Gainwell made it official. His brief, brilliant Memphis football career is over. Gainwell announced Sunday night on Twitter that he declared for the 2021 NFL Draft, a decision that seemed all but certain when he opted out of the 2020 season.

Gainwell was a unanimous AAC first team selection, a second-team All-American by Sporting News, AAC Rookie of the Year and named Freshman of the Year by the Football Writers Association of America.
