10/02/20 - Cam McCormick, rSr/2025, Miami + More +

Replacing Jake Breeland is easier than it should be only because he unfortunately missed the second half of last season, but his production capability was second to none at the position. Ryan Bay did yeoman's work and his loss will be more significant than some might believe. Hunter Kampmoyer returns, but how much the Ducks utilize the tight end in the receiving game hinges most on Cam McCormick's health and Spencer Webb. McCormick hasn't played in over two years but he has by far the greatest upside. It's been said before and it'll be said again, if he can stay healthy, he could be a massive weapon for Oregon's offense and a major contributor. His receiving prowess is most notable but McCormick is also the most well rounded of Oregon's tight ends, so he can stay on the field in uptempo situations and limit offensive personnel options. - The Oregonian

10/02/20 - Deandre Johnson, rSr/2022, Miami + More +

Several minutes after Tennessee opened its 2020 football season with a 31-27 win at South Carolina last Saturday night, Volunteers coach Jeremy Pruitt praised the dedication of senior edge rusher Deandre Johnson. Pruitt said Johnson chose to move into a campus dorm this past summer, and the 6-foot-3, 255-pound senior from Miami explained this week the several reasons why. "Well, the biggest thing was I didn't have to pay rent, so that was a big lift off my shoulders," a smiling Johnson said on a Zoom call. "I was just able to focus on myself and just kind of dial in and settle down. I had a lot of things going on around me, so it just helped me settle down.

"I'm just more focused. Now that I'm back off (campus), I kind of used some of the things that I learned in the summer, and they're helping me now. I'm just even-keeled right now and focused on the things that I need to be focused on." Not exactly the first Tennessee defender who rolled off the tongue before the season, Johnson erupted inside Williams-Brice Stadium for a career-high six tackles, a career-best 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble. The forced fumble was the fourth of his career, but his 2.5 sacks matched last year's total, which was a single-season best. - Chattanooga Times Free Press

09/30/20 - DEriq King, rSr/2022, Miami + More +

Because of D'Eriq King's size (5-9), scouts want to see exceptional accuracy from UM's quarterback. Without that, he will remain a fringe NFL prospect, according to two scouts. And that's why it would be helpful if King improves his deep passing game. He made a terrific throw to Dee Wiggins for a touchdown Saturday, but for the season, he's just 5 for 20 on passes thrown at least 20 yards in the air, with two touchdowns. But here's the good news, which NFL people should not overlook: No quarterback in FBS has thrown as many passes (94) without an interception … Overall, King is 22nd in the country in passing efficiency...His 66.7 percent completion percentage (63 for 94) is 20th in the country and better than his 63.5 in his great year for Houston in 2018 and enormously better than his 52.7 in four games last season. - Miami Herald

SEPT 28 SEC DEFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: Deandre Johnson, Edge, Tennessee,...Johnson, making his third career start, delivered the best game of his career in a 31-27 win at South Carolina. The edge rusher finished with a career-high six tackles, a career-best 2.5 sacks for a loss of 11 yards and one forced fumble. The 2.5 sacks led all SEC players in Week 1 and were the most by a Vol since Darrell Taylor had four against Kentucky on Nov. 10, 2018. Johnson's forced fumble in the second quarter stalled a Gamecocks drive. Two of his sacks came on third down, including a critical one in the fourth quarter. - SEC Football

D'Eriq King threw for 267 yards and two touchdowns in three quarters and No. 12 Miami beat Florida State 52-10 on Saturday night. Cam'Ron Harris and Don Chaney scored twice and Brevin Jordan and Dee Wiggins each caught touchdown passes for Miami (3-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference). Miami scored touchdowns on its five possessions and built a 35-point lead at halftime. The margin of victory was the largest for Miami in the series since a 47-0 rout in 1976, the first season of Bobby Bowden's 34-year coaching career at Florida State. The Seminoles (0-2, 0-2) were without head coach Mike Norvell, who tested positive for coronavirus and remained in Tallahassee under quarantine. Assistant Chris Thomsen served as head coach. King capped the Hurricanes' game-opening drive with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Jordan. - AP College Football

09/24/20 - CamRon Harris, Sr/2022, Miami + More +

On WQAM's Hurricane Hotline, Diaz made a good point in explaining one under-the-radar reason for Cam'Ron Harris' improvement this season: "Cam's work in the weight room has allowed him to maintain his speed throughout the course of a [long] run." On his 75-yard run on Saturday, "he would have been pushed out of bounds three quarters of the way last year. He hit 23 mph on our GPS" on that run. Diaz also believes Jaylon Knighton's presence has pushed Harris to improve. - Miami Herald

09/24/20 - Navaughn Donaldson, rSr/2022, Miami + More +

Manny Diaz offered updates on two of UM's blue-chip recruits who haven't played this season. Guard Navaughn Donaldson, recovering from knee surgery after last season, "is not cleared for full contact practice," Diaz said. "He's working with our trainers and getting his movement skills back. He does some walk-through things for us when we're not in a contact setting for the offensive line." Diaz previously said that Donaldson might play at some point this season. Donaldson, a senior, previously announced plans to redshirt, but no matter how many games he plays this season, he would retain eligibility next season. That's because the NCAA is giving everyone an extra year of eligibility due to COVID-19. - Miami Herald

09/23/20 - CamRon Harris, Sr/2022, Miami + More +

When Rhett Lashlee arrived as UM's offensive coordinator in January, he knew he had a solid lead running back in Cam'Ron Harris. But he didn't know he had this - a player who has been more impactful than nearly any other running back in the country two weeks into the season. I asked Lashlee if Harris is even better than what he expected after watching Harris' film in January and February. "When I first got here, Cam seemed like a solid back," Lashlee said. "Four days of spring ball he really impressed me. He's faster than what I thought he was, more explosive than what I thought he was. First two games, he has shown flashes of that. Really glad he has had a strong first two games." Not only is Harris third in the country in rushing yards at 268, but his 10.3 average - bolstered by two long TD runs - places him fourth in yards per carry. Only Texas-San Antonio's Sincere McCormick and SMU's Ulysses Bentley IV have more rushing yards than Harris in FBS. - Miami Herald

09/23/20 - Bubba Bolden, Sr/2022, Miami + More +

University of Miami coach Manny Diaz said that he got a text from safety Bubba Bolden on Sunday. "Bubba was very active. He played very fast and very hard,'' Diaz told WQAM during his weekly interview on Monday morning. "Bubba texted me yesterday and said, 'Coach I really played poorly, and I just want you to know I'm going to play a lot better next week." Very impressive considering Bolden, a 6-3, 200-pound redshirt junior who last season transferred to UM and originally played at Southern Cal, was making plays everywhere on the field in the Hurricanes' 47-34 win at Louisville on Saturday night. Bolden led all players with 11 tackles, a tackle for loss and a forced fumble. "Our guys don't feel like that they played very well,'' Diaz said. "They feel like they played very hard, they feel like they competed...They know that their fight and their desire and the way they stuck together is what grinded out the win, but from Bubba on I think the guys really feel, 'Hey, let's get back to work. I can play a lot better than this." - Miami Herald

D'Eriq King threw three touchdown passes and No. 17 Miami used big plays to beat No. 18 Louisville 47-34 on Saturday night in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams. King threw a 75-yarder touchdown pass to Jaylon Knighton in the third quarter, a series after Cam'ron Harris ran 75 yards for a score. Miami (2-0) led 20-6 at halftime before Louisville (1-1) scored twice in a wild third to get within seven. The Hurricanes answered both TDs on their next snap against an out-of-place defense, with Knighton wide open for his catch that made it 34-20. Knighton also had a 3-yard TD run in the first half after King threw a 17-yard scoring pass to Will Mallory.

King also hit Brevin Jordan with a 47-yard TD pass in the fourth to finish with 325 yards on 18-of-30 passing. Jose Borregales added four field goals, including first-half kicks of 48 and 57 yards, with the latter breaking the Cardinal Stadium record for an opponent by 6 yards and the overall mark by 5. Louisville's Micale Cunningham passed for 307 yards and three TDs, two to Tutu Atwell, and Javian Hawkins had a 19-yard TD run and finished with 164 yards on 27 carries. But the Cardinals couldn't stop Miami for much of the game and lost their second in a row to the 'Canes despite outgaining them 516-485. The game was played before a sellout crowd of 12,120. - Miami/AP College Football

09/16/20 - Quincy Roche, rSr/2021, Miami + More +

Canes defensive coordinator Blake Baker said Phillips and Roche were "outstanding" in the opener against the Blazers, citing "10 quarterback hits and 16 pressures," and their finesse "especially vs. the run." Diaz explained earlier in the week when reviewing the UAB game, that "UAB was not going to drop back and throw the football." "They were going to run it [and] there was going to be play-action, quick passes in the flats. There were a couple times we saw if we just used our technique a little bit better in some of our coverages, [that if] the quarterback [held] the ball for maybe a half second longer he was about to get hit in the back. "It's about being relentless, its about staying after it. The sacks generally tend to come as that happens." Hurricanes starting middle linebacker Bradley Jennings Jr. said Tuesday that the defensive line's aggressiveness "helped the linebackers play a lot faster and read better." "They were flying off the ball, keeping the O-linemen off me and letting us run and make plays." - Miami Herald
