  What did Oregon State coach Jonathan Smith make of his 2021 football signing class, officially completed Wednesday with the addition of four transfers, two scholarship high school seniors and nine preferred walk-ons? We know what is being said nationally, including some lazy analysis. It is low-rated for the most part, a given going in because the lack of scholarships OSU could offer in 2021. Of the players the Beavers signed, there isn't the star power of an Oregon or USC. What the national and regional rhetoric doesn't include are transfers. That is an area where Oregon State could see immediate payoff. Receiver Makiya Tongue (Georgia), cornerback E.J. Jones (Kansas), running back Deshaun Fenwick (South Carolina) and offensive lineman Heneli Bloomfield (Utah State) signed Wednesday. All are currently enrolled at OSU, on campus and planning to take part in spring football. At least three of the four are serious contenders for starting jobs in 2021. - The Oregonian

  At this time a year ago, Sam Noyer was looking for a new school, JT Shrout was trying to win the starting job at Tennessee and Drew Carter was on the basketball court tearing up competition in Oregon. Now, they are all vying for playing time at quarterback with the Colorado Buffaloes. "Our quarterback room looks completely different than what it was last year at this time," CU head coach Karl Dorrell said Friday. Just 10 months after being hired as CU's head coach, Dorrell has almost completely overhauled the QB room.

Junior Tyler Lytle and true freshman Brendon Lewis were the only scholarship quarterbacks when Dorrell was hired, although he quickly lured Noyer out of the transfer portal. Noyer wound up starting all six games for the Buffs (4-2) last season, with Lytle and Lewis as the backups. Lewis made his debut in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Dec. 29 and looked good, leading the Buffs to three touchdowns. Since the end of the season, Lytle has transferred to Massachusetts and Noyer has had shoulder surgery that will likely sideline him for spring practices. - Daily Camera

  David Morris burst onto the scene as a true freshman in 2017 and appeared to be one of the bright upcoming stars in the Pac-12. But the Oregon State safety's career has come to a premature end. Morris has medically retired from college football, school officials confirmed on Wednesday. Morris, a redshirt junior, played 24 games for the Beavers and made 14 starts during parts of four seasons and earned received all-Pac-12 honorable mention honors as a true freshman. But injuries left him sidelined during portions of each of the last three seasons. He played just a few snaps during Oregon State's season-opener against Washington State last fall, and then missed the rest of the season due to injury. - Gazette Times

  Sam Noyer is coming back to the Buffaloes. Colorado's starting quarterback last season will return in 2021, coach Karl Dorrell told reporters Friday during a year-in-review news conference, with Noyer opting in to an NCAA-gifted year of eligibility for senior athletes amid the coronavirus pandemic. Noyer threw for 1,101 yards with 11 total touchdowns over six starts last season, but his place on the depth chart moving forward is far from secured. Noyer is expected to miss the entire spring while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, and freshman Brendon Lewis played well in relief of Noyer during the Buffs' Alamo Bowl loss to Texas. - Denver Post

  It didn't take former Kansas starting cornerback Elijah Jones long to go in one end of the NCAA's transfer portal and come out on the other. Jones announced Wednesday, three days after his name appeared in the portal as a graduate transfer, that he has committed to play for Oregon State this coming fall. Jones, a senior starter at KU in 2020, could have returned for one more go-round with the Jayhawks this year if he so chose, thanks to the NCAA's blanket waiver for fall sports athletes that provides an extra year of eligibility. At Oregon State, Jones seems likely to replace Nahshon Wright, a starting corner for the Beavers this past season who entered the NFL draft. - Lawrence Journal World

  Experience shouldn't be an issue for Oregon State in 2021 as 10 of the team's 13 seniors or redshirt seniors from 2020 have told coach Jonathan Smith they plan to return next season. Because of COVID-19, the NCAA paused the eligibility clock for all football players in 2020. It allows seniors who played this past season to return in 2021, provided they want to remain in school. They're considered "super seniors" and do not count against the 85-man scholarship limit. The 10 returning seniors are center Nathan Eldridge, offensive guards Nous Keobounnam and Korbin Sorensen, defensive tackle Jordan Whittley, outside linebacker Andrzej Hughes-Murray, inside linebackers Doug Taumoelau and Luke Loennig, receiver Trevon Bradford, punter Caleb Lightbourn and defensive end Jeromy Reichner. - The Oregonian

  Oregon State has landed yet another talented player out of the transfer portal. Deshaun Fenwick, a running back who recently elected to transfer from South Carolina, announced on social media Wednesday Tuesday evening that he has committed to Oregon State. A 6-foot-1, 230 pound redshirt sophomore, Fenwick will have three years of eligibility remaining for the Beavers. In a reserve role for the Gamecocks in 2020, he ran for 297 yards and one touchdown on 54 carries and racked up a season-high 82 yards against Ole Miss. Fenwick is a former 3-star recruit who held offers from numerous SEC powerhouses out of high school. He chose South Carolina over offers from Georgia, Ole Miss, Missouri and Iowa State, among others. - Gazette Times

  As Bret Bielema continues to fill out his coaching staff, he's also active in the recruiting world. He got his first high school commitment on Tuesday, landing three-start athlete Joshua McCray for the Class of 2021. Less than an hour after that, linebacker Calvin "C.J." Hart Jr. announced he was transferring from North Carolina State. Hart addresses an immediate position of need for the Illini. He's 6-foot-1, 235-pound redshirt sophomore who recorded 53 tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss and three sacks in two seasons for North Carolina State. He has three years of eligibility remaining. In 10 games in 2020, he had 18 tackles, 3.0 tackles for a loss, 2.0 sacks and two forced fumbles. - Herald-Review Times

  The Kansas football program won't be able to bring back starting cornerback Elijah Jones, who made public on Sunday his plans to enter his name into the NCAA's transfer portal as a graduate transfer. Jones, like so many other Jayhawks who have sought to play elsewhere in 2021, was a senior this past year, and could've potentially returned to KU for a bonus season thanks to the NCAA's blanket waiver for an extra year of eligibility. Arguably one of the Jayhawks' most important defenders in 2020, Jones started at cornerback in each of the final eight games of the season. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back from Cape Coral, Fla., made a lot of headway in what proved to be his last year with the program, after redshirting in 2018 and playing only as a backup in seven games in 2019. - KUsports

  Deshaun Fenwick, South Carolina's second-leading rusher, has entered the transfer portal, a team spokesman confirmed to The State. Fenwick appeared in eight games this season, backing up star running back Kevin Harris. He racked up 297 yards and a touchdown on the year, as well as catching 14 passes for 108 yards. His top performance of the season came against Ole Miss, when he tallied 82 yards on just nine carries. Going into the year, Fenwick was expected to compete for touches behind star freshman MarShawn Lloyd. When Lloyd went down for the season with a torn ACL in training camp, Fenwick earned some praise from the coaching staff but ultimately lost out on the starting job to Harris. - Rock Hill Herald
