Clemson cornerback Fred Davis II was arrested and charged with misdemeanor reckless driving for going 60 mph over the posted speed limit in July, leading to an accident. The Clemson Police Department said in a release Sunday that Davis was traveling at 115 mph before colliding with a mail truck and injuring the driver on July 21. Davis turned himself in Sunday and has been released on bail. Clemson police said the mail carrier sustained severe injuries in the wreck and "will require months or longer for recovery." Davis was not injured in the accident. The school said Davis remains with the program and will be subject to internal discipline, per the Clemson Student-Athlete Handbook. Davis, from Jacksonville, Florida, played in 11 games as a freshman in 2020. The 6-foot defensive back had 13 tackles and broke up two passes, both coming in Clemson's win over Notre Dame in the ACC Championship game a year ago. - AP College Football

At the beginning of each season, Northwestern selects one player to wear the No. 1 jersey. The honor, created in 2011, recognizes "the student-athlete who truly embodies the values and character of the Northwestern football family." A decade later, Greg Newsome II started a new tradition with the No. 2 jersey. Before he was selected 26th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, the former Wildcats cornerback passed down No. 2 - his own jersey number - to redshirt sophomore defensive back Cameron Mitchell, who wore No. 21 last season and allowed the lowest completion rate in the Big Ten. "He's one of the next guys up, so I wanted to pass the number down to him," Newsome told The Daily in April. "(No.) 2 is gonna be something that we're starting now." Earning the No. 2 jersey is a new honor for the best returning secondaries in the country. - The Daily Northwestern

05/01/21 - Rashawn Slater, Sr/2021, Northwestern, 6-4, 304 (DS#1 OG) + More +

On Thursday night Northwestern had two players drafted in the first round for the first time in team history. Northwestern offensive tackle Rashawn Slater, one of 12 players on site in Cleveland for the 2021 NFL draft, was selected 13th overall by the Los Angeles Chargers in Thursday's first round. Cornerback Greg Newsome II watched virtually with his family as he was taken with the 26th overall pick by the Cleveland Browns. Slater, a 6-foot-5, 304-pound left tackle who opted out of the 2020 season, was the first Wildcats player taken in the first round since defensive tackle Luis Castillo in 2005. His selection ended the third-longest active first-round drought among Power Five programs. - Chicago Tribune

04/30/21 - Jeffery Pooler Jr., rSr/2022, Northwestern, 6-1, 257 (DS#65 DE) + More +

West Virginia University football has yet another unexpected loss to its starting defensive lineup. On Wednesday afternoon, senior defensive lineman Jeffery Pooler Jr. took to social media to announce his decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Pooler took advantage of the NCAA's offered extra year of eligibility after last season, but as it turns out, that extra season won't come with the Mountaineers. Pooler becomes the third starter off of the Mountaineer defense to transfer this offseason, joining spear Tykee Smith and cornerback Dreshun Miller, who have since landed at Georgia and Auburn, respectively. Pooler appeared in 38 games over four seasons with the Mountaineers, making 52 tackles, with 23 of them coming last season. He also set career highs in sacks (three) and tackles for loss (six) in 2020. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

Another day, another West Virginia player says goodbye. This time it's in football as defensive end Jeffery Pooler, an experienced player, a third starter from the defense, announced on Twitter that he is entering the transfer portal. The way that's going there may wind up with more players across the country in the portal than not, last year's cycle having included almost 2,000 players. Pooler was expected to share the position with Taijh Alston, who missed most of the past two seasons with injuries but who now is healthy and played well in the spring game. Still, Pooler hurts the depth on the offensive line, which is one of the most potent units the Mountaineers have with Dante Stills at tackle and Akheem Mesidor at nose guard, backed up by Jordan Jefferson. Pooler had 26 tackles last year, 5.5 for a loss, with 2.5 sacks and three pass deflections. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

Increasing the tight end's role in Arizona's offense was one of many promises on Jedd Fisch's checklist when he accepted the head coaching job, which was evident after hiring a full-time tight ends coach, Jordan Paopao, and allowing program icon Rob Gronkowski to coach in the UA's spring game. Lines, a 6-foot-5-inch, 245-pound former three-star prospect, played his freshman season with the Rebels and reunites with his position coach in Paopao, who recently coached at UNLV. - Arizona Star News

Northwestern added valuable depth to its running back room Monday, receiving a commitment from graduate transfer running back Andrew Clair, formerly of Bowling Green. "2021 will be full of accomplishments and new beginnings," Clair said in announcing his decision via Twitter early Monday afternoon. "See you in Evanston in the fall." Clair leaves the Falcons after a successful four-year career in which he rushed for 1,937 yards and 13 touchdowns in 30 games. He accomplished these feats despite BGSU going 8-33 in his four years with the program, a litany of injuries, and an unthinkable personal tragedy in the loss of his 25-year-old sister, Tanisha Watson, to COVID-19 in the fall of 2020. - The Daily Northwestern

Former Northwestern standouts offensive tackle Rashawn Slater, cornerback Greg Newsome II, defensive end Earnest Brown IV, linebacker Blake Gallagher, quarterback Peyton Ramsey, linebacker Paddy Fisher, offensive lineman Gunnar Vogel and wide receiver Riley Lees have each chosen to launch individual campaigns this year. - Northwestern Football

Northwestern linebacker Paddy Fisher won the Lott IMPACT Trophy, which goes to college football’s defensive player who has made the biggest impact on his team. The announcement was made Sunday night at the Pacific Club. The award is usually given in December, but was delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic. IMPACT stands for integrity, maturity, performance, academics, community and tenacity. Fisher had 86 tackles, 4 1/2 for loss, one interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery during the 2020 season. The senior from Katy, Texas, was also named Big Ten linebacker of the year. He finished his career with 404 tackles, most among active players. - AP College Football

Running back Andrew Clair, one of Bowling Green's top players and a multi-year starter, is in the transfer portal. Clair has rushed for more than 1,900 yards and 13 touchdowns in 30 career games at Bowling Green during the past four years. He was named third-team all-Mid-American Conference in both 2017 and 2018. Clair, a native of St. Louis, was recruited by multiple Power Five schools out of high school, but mostly as a defensive back. He chose BG because of his preference to play running back in college. During the past year, Clair's family was struck by tragedy at home. Tanisha Watson, his 25-year-old sister, died of complications from coronavirus in September. Clair returned to BG to finish his studies and play the season, during which he rushed for 266 yards in four games. - Toledo Blade

COVID-19 restrictions will prevent Northwestern from hosting players from other area schools at its pro day this year - a feature that made the event popular for NFL talent evaluators in previous years - but a good crowd is expected to attend March 9 anyway. Rashawn Slater is one of the top offensive line prospects in the country, and because he opted out of this past season and chose not to attend the Senior Bowl this week, teams will want to get a close look at him. With the NFL canceling the traditional scouting combine in Indianapolis, Northwestern's sparkling lakefront football facility likely will be filled with influential decision makers interested in inspecting Slater. He is expected to be the first NU player drafted in the first round since the San Diego Chargers selected defensive end Luis Castillo 28th in 2005. - Chicago Tribune

Former South Carolina quarterback Ryan Hilinski announced Tuesday he is transferring to Northwestern. He is expected to become the Wildcats starter after Peyton Ramsey, who transferred in last season from Indiana, announced after the season he won't return. Hilinski will have three more years of eligibility as the NCAA is not counting the 2020 season against athletes' eligibility clocks. Hilinski started 11 games for South Carolina as a freshman in 2019, throwing for 2,357 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. - Chicago Tribune

Former Kansas receiver Stephon Robinson Jr., who was one of the breakout performers for the Kansas football program in 2019, will next be catching passes in the Big Ten. Robinson, one of the many KU seniors from the 2020 roster who opted to enter the transfer portal and play a bonus season elsewhere, announced Friday afternoon that he had committed to Northwestern. Robinson began his KU career as a junior college transfer in the 2018 signing class under former head coach David Beaty. However, he didn't emerge as a big-play threat until Miles and receivers coach Emmett Jones arrived. - Lawrence Journal World
