North Carolina football signed Ohio State transfer Lejond Cavazos on Monday to help bolster its secondary. The Tar Heels had at least three defensive backs have to sit out the spring game. Cavazos, a 6-foot, 192-pound San Antonio native, will have three years of eligibility remaining after earning a redshirt in 2020. He played in 11 games last season and totaled 11 tackles with two pass breakups. "I want to say how excited I am to be a Tar Heel," Cavazos said in a statement. "Everything about being at North Carolina fit what I was looking for. It's a prestigious University, offering a great education, and the football program is on the rise." Brown has previously stated his philosophy is to only bring in transfers who could be starters. Last year, Tennessee transfer running back Ty Chandler was signed to bolster an inexperienced group. - Raleigh News Observer

04/20/22 - Ameer Speed, rSr/2023, Michigan State, 6-3, 209 (DS#28 CB) + More +

There were plenty of new names and faces on the field for Michigan State on Saturday during its final practice of the spring, but there was one who stood out. That was cornerback Ameer Speed, the graduate transfer who won a national championship last season at Georgia before opting to play his final season at Michigan State for coach Mel Tucker. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, it's easy to understand why spotting Speed among the other defensive backs was simple. But it's about more than just his size. It's about the way Speed plays. Early in spring practice, Michigan State wide receiver Jayden Reed talked about the difficulty of playing against the length and athleticism of Speed. He reiterated that Saturday, saying it's not something you see every day in the Big Ten, but will in the NFL. "You typically don't see a corner that tall, that long," Reed said. "That's definitely the one thing that definitely helped me, because at the next level you'll see a bunch of different guys...So, that prepares me for competition like that. You don't see that on an everyday basis. So that can help me adapt to when I have to deal with that." - Detroit News
