In a surprise move, West Virginia starting cornerback Dreshun Miller announced that he is entering his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal on Thursday evening. It continues what has become a large exodus from the Mountaineer program in an era where this kind of thing is becoming more and more common, making planning as a coach a difficult matter. A junior college player who redshirted a year, started nine of last year's 10 games. He missed the bowl game due to health reasons. Playing the other corner from Nicktroy Fortune, Miller had 31 tackles, nine breakups and an interception. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

Coastal Carolina's breakout 2020 season has earned the Chanticleers a No. 14 national ranking in the final Associated Press Top 25 Poll that was released Tuesday. The Chants finished the season 11-1 with a wild 37-34 overtime loss to Liberty (10-1) in their first bowl game, the FBC Mortgage Cure Bowl on Dec. 26 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. The season included two wins over top 25 teams, as the Chants defeated then-No. 21 Louisiana 30-27 on a last-second field goal on Oct. 14, and beat then-No. 8 Brigham Young 22-17 on Dec. 5 with a tackle at the CCU 1-yard line as time expired. The Chants were scheduled to face Liberty that day, but the Flames were forced to cancel due to coronavirus cases within the program, and CCU and BYU agreed to play at Brooks Stadium just two days before the scheduled game. - Myrtle Beach Online
