  Memphis wide receiver/tight end Jeremy Tate Jr. entered the transfer portal Monday, just days before the Tigers' spring game this week. Tate confirmed his decision to The Commercial Appeal. Tate, a 6-foot-4 senior, played in 14 games over the past two seasons. He recorded two catches for 12 yards in 2020 but did not record a catch last season. Tate was a three-star recruit from Mississippi when he signed with the Tigers in their 2018 recruiting class. He switched to tight end during last season due to injuries and remained there during spring practice. Tight end coach Brad Salem said this month there's a four-way competition at the position but didn't mention Tate among the group. Junior Caden Prieskorn backed up Sean Dykes last season and he's battling with senior John Hassell, junior Drew Martin and incoming sophomore transfer Anthony Landphere. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

  Freshman Nick Vattiato threw for 270 yards and two touchdowns, including a 59-yard scoring pass to Jarrin Pierce with 6:24 left, and Middle Tennessee beat Toledo 31-24 on Friday in the Bahamas Bowl. Two plays after Toledo's 32-yard punt, Vattiato connected with a wide-open Pierce along the right side for a 28-17 lead. The 59-yard play was the longest completion in Middle Tennessee's bowl history. On Toledo's next possession, quarterback Dequan Finn was pressured by Jordan Ferguson and defensive lineman Zaylin Wood intercepted a tipped pass, leading to a 35-yard field goal for a 31-17 lead.

Toledo got within seven points with 1:08 remaining, but Thomas Cluckey recovered an onside kick to secure it. "Winning a bowl game, you're a champion, you're Bahamas Bowl champion and these seniors, these guys, they can take that with them the rest of their lives ," Middle Tennessee coach Rick Stockstill said after his 101st victory with the program. Pierce caught four passes for 114 yards and Ferguson had a sack to reach nine on the season for Middle Tennessee (7-6), which was a double-digit underdog. Mike DiLiello rushed for 44 yards, including a 17-yard score to put the Blue Raiders ahead for good at 21-17. - Middle Tennessee/AP College Football
