08/17/22 - TJ Sullivan, rSr/2024, San Diego State, 6-0, 205 (DS#999 WR) + More +

San Diego State head coach Brady Hoke confirmed Monday that senior wide receiver TJ Sullivan has a torn right ACL and will be out for the season. Sullivan, a Mt. Carmel High graduate, injured his knee last week during practice. He watched Saturday's scrimmage from the sideline, wearing a brace from thigh to calf. An MRI revealed the torn ligament. Sullivan is expected to have surgery once swelling subsides. The recovery time for such an injury is typically up to a year. Sullivan totaled only 11 receptions for 111 yards and one touchdown during his first three seasons at SDSU, but this year was poised for a breakthrough. The departure of five of last season's top eight receivers created an opportunity for an expanded role and Sullivan earned a starting spot coming out of spring practice. - San Diego Union Tribune

He is a grizzled veteran, but San Diego State graduate senior linebacker Caden McDonald welcomes the start of fall camp now more than ever. "It's a blessing to come out here with all the boys again," McDonald said. "Doing six years of first days, this first day has been the most exciting. "You get older, you get more mature, you know what's coming. ... All the butterflies." McDonald said added excitement comes from this being SDSU's 100th season of football, the Aztecs are about to debut at Snapdragon Stadium and, to top it off, younger brother Caden, a transfer from Washington, has joined him on the SDSU defense. - San Diego Times Union

08/05/22 - Byron Cardwell Jr., rJr/2027, San Diego State, 6-0, 215 (DS#999 RB) + More +

Last season, Byron Cardwell entered fall camp third or fourth on the Ducks' depth chart. A year later, he will likely be Oregon's starting running back after showing a lot of potential in limited snaps in 2021. Once CJ Verdell was lost for the 2021 season due to a lower leg injury, Cardwell began to receive more playing time. On 61 carries, he rushed for 417 yards and three touchdowns while averaging 6.8 yards per attempt.

Against Colorado last year, Cardwell recorded his first 100-yard game after going for 127 yards and a score on only seven carries. He was also named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week in November after rushing nine times for 98 yards and two touchdowns in a win over Washington State. Two weeks ago, Cardwell was named to the 2022 preseason watch list for the Doak Walker Award, which is presented annually to the nation's top college running back. He was one of 10 Pac-12 running backs on the preseason watch list. Oregon will likely use multiple running backs, such as Noah Whittington and Mar'Keise Irving, but Cardwell has the potential to be one of the nation's top running backs. - Register Guard

07/27/22 - Chance Bell, rSr/2023, San Diego State, 5-09, 200 (DS#999 RB) + More +

San Diego State running back Chance Bell is aiming to bring "explosive" power to the football field this fall. To that end, the super senior from Burbank joined wide receiver teammates Jesse Matthews and Tyrell Shavers doing some private workouts that focused on plyometrics. The routines involve jump training that exerts maximum force on muscles in short bursts. "I couldn't just keep doing the same thing, regular lifting and maintenance and cone drills, and expect different results," said Bell, who joined teammate Caden McDonald in Las Vegas this week for Mountain West football media days. "The plyometrics (develops) explosive power. Running into contact and running through contact is, obviously, really important for a running back."

The 5-foot-10 Bell said he has added 15 pounds of good weight, increasing his frame to 200 pounds. "That will all translate in what I'm hoping to do, get to another level and having a productive season," said Bell, SDSU's top returning running back after rushing for 341 yards and four touchdowns last season. Bell and Jordan Byrd, another super senior returning for the Aztecs, came out of spring practice as the team's starting running backs. The more bruising Bell is Mr. Inside to Byrd's Mr. Outside, if you will. - San Diego Union Tribune

07/26/22 - Caden McDonald, rSr/2023, San Diego State, 6-2, 244 (DS#47 ILB) + More +

San Diego State linebacker Caden McDonald didn't put his tooth under his pillow in the hope of enriching himself after it was knocked out against Utah last season. McDonald has profited from the loss nonetheless. "A lot of people take losing a front tooth as a negative thing," said McDonald, a 6-foot-3 senior from Haslet, Texas. "You get your tooth knocked out and think, 'Dang, this sucks. Well, what now?' ... "I turned it into a business opportunity. I started my own clothing line." McDonald branded himself the Toothless Cowboy, the idea sparked when he was wearing a cowboy hat and a toothless grin in a TikTok photo. McDonald created a catchy logo - a T and sideways C designed to resemble a smile with a tooth missing - started the website toothlesscowboy.com and was open for business. - San Diego Union Tribune
