  Ron Tiavaasue's time as a Utah State Aggie is over. The tight end, who transferred to Utah State over the summer, has entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer, according to Rivals. Listed at 6-foot-3, 270 pounds, the Auckland, New Zealand, native played sparingly for the Aggies this season - per ESPN, Tiavaasue recorded a single tackle this year - and has been off the USU roster since the Aggies' loss to rival BYU.

The former Snow College Badger - he played in Ephraim in 2018 and 2019 - was a 3-star recruit coming out of high school, with offers from Southern Illinois, Southeastern Louisiana, New Mexico State, Louisiana Monroe, Akron, North Texas, North Dakota State and Central Arkansas, per 247 Sports. After two years at Snow, Tiavaasue transferred to Missouri State in January 2021 and played in all seven of the Bears' spring games, totaling seven receptions for 74 yards. Last season, Tiavaasue played in all 12 games for Missouri State, starting seven. He recorded 14 catches for 173 yards and a pair of touchdowns. - Deseret News

  As the Jerry Kill era gets underway for NM State Football, the Aggies will open the season in front of a national audience. For the first time since 2018, Aggie Memorial Stadium will play host to a nationally televised contest when the Aggies take on Nevada at 8 p.m. MT, Aug. 27, on ESPN2. The opening act to the highly anticipated 2022 season will mark just the fourth time in NM State football program history that ESPN has made the trip to Las Cruces (2018, ESPN2; 2009, ESPNU; 2007, ESPN2). "I don't think people truly understand that environment, stated Kill. "When you say, 'Hey, we're going to be on ESPN', that's a big deal to recruits and a big deal to our university… It's a great way to show our school off. It's a great way to highlight what we're doing here. It's a great way to show Las Cruces off." The week zero contest will be the first of three NM State games in four weeks to air on national television (September 1 at Minnesota, Big Ten Network; September 17 at Wisconsin, Big Ten Network). ESPN's last visit to Las Cruces came when the Aggies hosted Wyoming to open the 2018 season. - Las Cruces Sun News

  The "nickel back" position Wyoming's 4-2-5 alignment is critical to the unit's success and requires a versatile hybrid player with cornerback skills and a linebacker mentality. "It's a complicated position," UW head coach Craig Bohl said, noting the nickelback must understand coverages, run fits, blitz concepts, quarterback progressions and make split-second checks at the line of scrimmage.

The Cowboys appear to be at least 15 cents deep at nickel. Keonte Glinton is penciled in as the starter as UW pushes through fall camp, but true freshman Malique Singleton is expected to get on the field this season and redshirt freshman Buck Coors is also making a push. Glinton had a strong season for the Pokes appearing in 11 games for the Pokes with 11 starts. He finished the season with 10 tackles with nine solo stops and one assisted tackle. He recorded one interception on the season and had three pass breakups. He recorded a career-high four tackles for the Cowboys against Colorado State. He also recorded his first career interception against the Rams. He added two tackles for the Pokes against Ball State. He was named Academic All-MW. - Wyoming Tribune

  2022 PRESEASON CHUCK BEDNARIK AWARD WATCH LIST: Chris Ojoh, New Mexico State, Senior LB,...Ojoh, a senior from Sunland, California, adds to his impressive resume with The Bednarik Award nomination. Earlier this summer, Ojoh was named a Phil Steele Preseason All-Independent Second Team. During the 2021 season, Ojoh started every game for the Aggies and finished second on the team with 71 tackles. Ojoh was the team lead in sacks (five), forced fumbles (three), and tackles for a loss (15). Against elite competition, Ojoh proved that he belongs with the best in the nation. In NM State's contest against No. 1 Alabama, Ojoh tallied 13 tackles – the highest single-game total among Aggies last year. Against the Crimson Tide, the linebacker added three tackles for a loss, a sack, and a forced fumble. - New Mexico State Football

  On top of learning a new system under New Mexico State football coach Jerry Kill and defensive coordinator Nate Dreiling, Chris Ojoh is also learning names as the Aggies coaching staff has continued to add players since spring practice. Ojoh was among the best players on the Aggies roster last year and the best defensive player. Following a year that Ojoh led the Aggies with six sacks, 16 tackles for loss and three forces fumbles and was second with 72 tackles, he entered the transfer portal shortly after the season and the announced coaching change, but ultimately decided to return. "I really just wanted to see New Mexico State headed in the right direction," Ojoh said. "I'm a big person into feeling like home and good energy. When Coach Kill and I talked, it felt like home. They had a vision and had a plan and I wanted to follow through with it."

Ojoh is one of at least 12 linebackers learning Dreiling's 4-2-5 scheme, where he has moved from out outside linebacker last year, to the inside where he pairs with fellow senior returning starter Trevor Brohard. "When I was at Eastern Washington, I played inside at the (weakside linebacker) and I loved it there," Ojoh said. "I look at it more as an opportunity to be on the field and show my versatility. I like to look at myself as an athlete, and now there is less space to work with and not a lot of open field tackles and one-on-one plays. There is less room for error." - Las Cruces Sun News

  New Mexico State's offense has featured talented running backs, but depth at the position was not a priority as the Aggies' focus was primarily throwing the football under previous head coach Doug Martin. The Aggies averaged 30 attempts per game last season and averaged 3.3 yards per rush. Jerry Kill's last stop, Texas Christian, averaged 39 rush attempts last season for five yards per carry. TCU had six players with at least 20 carries last season with four players rushing for over 350 yards last year. The Aggies had three players with over 60 carries last season, but leading rusher Juwaun Price (135 attempts for 693 yards) and quarterback Jonah Johnson (130 attempts for 166 yards) have transferred.

Depth in the backfield is a priority in Kill's offense and the Aggies have added talent accordingly. "I think by the time fall camp rolls around, there will be three or four running backs who will cause some problems for teams," Aggies offensive coordinator Tim Beck said. O'Maury Samuels is the Aggies leading returning rusher and Alex Escobar has limited experience, as well. But Kill addressed the running back position in recruiting. Northeastern Oklahoma A&M transfer Jamoni Jones and TCU transfer Ahmonte Watkins stood out during spring practice. The Aggies have added Coffeyville Community College transfer Star Thomas since spring practice and freshman Makhilyn Young signed in February and will be on the field when fall camp begins on July 29. "They have put a great running game together and we have nine running backs and I can tell you 100 percent that all of us can play," Jones said. "They want you to be able to catch the ball out of the backfield, line up in the slot and go block a defensive end, so you have to be versatile." - Las Cruces Sun News

  NM State's approach to the transfer portal has been strategic, landing Power 5 transfers who transfered to Las Cruces with multiple years of eligibility remaining and adding experienced FBS players who will fill immediate needs for a shorter period of time. Case in point is UNLV graduate transfer Bryce Jackson, who has started the past two years at free safety in the Mountain West. "I feel like we have a great secondary group, but we don't have a lot of guys with a ton of snaps," Aggies defensive coordinator Nate Dreiling said. "Bryce has over 600 college snaps at the FBS level and will step into a leadership role."

Jackson was listed at 5-10, 190 pounds. The Chandler, Arizona native appeared in 39 games at UNLV with 139 career tackles, seven passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two recovered fumbles. Jackson had 61 tackles for the Rebels last year. Jackson adds an experienced player to quarterback an Aggies secondary that will have limited experience, but high on potential. - Las Cruces Sun News

  Latrell Neville was considered one of the elite wide receiver prospects in Texas not all that long ago. The former Fort Bend Hightower standout will look to capitalize on his considerable potential at North Texas this fall. Neville committed to the Mean Green on Monday, less than a month after he left Nebraska without playing a down for the Huskers. Neville announced his decision on his Twitter account. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound Texas native was rated as a three-star prospect by 247Sports coming out of high school. The site listed him among the top 125 wide receivers in the class of 2021.

More than 30 programs across the country offered Neville a scholarship at some point during his recruiting process, including Alabama, Florida and Georgia. He was briefly committed to Virginia Tech. Neville was not in contention for playing time coming out of spring practice at Nebraska and entered the transfer portal. Neville will be eligible this fall at UNT when he joins a wide receivers room with plenty of highly regarded players and more than a few injury questions heading into the 2022 season. - Denton Record

  Nebraska wide receiver Latrell Neville is moving on. A redshirt freshman from Fresno, Texas, Neville has entered the transfer portal, sources confirmed Friday. Neville did not play in a game during the 2021 season. He came to Nebraska in the class of 2021, choosing the Huskers over several other top programs after starring for Hightower High School. Two other receivers in Nebraska's class of 2021, Kamonte Grimes (Naples, Florida) and Shawn Hardy (Kingsland, Georgia), also are trying to crack the Huskers' receivers rotation for 2022 under new assistant coach Mickey Joseph. - Lincoln Journal Star
