  08/28/21 - Nick Starkel, rSr/2022, San Jose State, 6-4, 217 (DS#24 QB) + More +

  Nick Starkel threw for four touchdowns and 394 yards and defending Mountain West Conference champion San Jose State kicked off the season with a 45-14 win over Southern Utah on Saturday night. Starkel, who finished 17-of-28 passing to nine receivers with one interception, also had a rushing touchdown to tie his career high with five total TDs. He finished 6 yards short of his fifth 400-yard passing game and a one TD throw shy of his career best. The Spartans outgained the Thunderbirds 534-250.

Starkel's 1-yard run opened the scoring and San Jose State led 21-0 after one quarter. Starkel threw three first-half TD passes, including a 70-yarder to Sam Olson and a 65-yarder to Charles Ross with the Spartans leading 35-14 at the break. Starkel's lone interception was a pick-6 returned by Kobe Singleton. Thunderbirds quarterback Justin Miller caught a TD pass off a trick play that came after a muffed punt by the Spartans, their first lost fumble since the 2019 season. The Spartans went undefeated in six MWC games, were 7-1 overall and finished 24th in the final Associated Press poll last season. They drew 16,204 fans to Saturday's game, their largest home crowd since 2011. - San Jose State/AP College Football

  As the USC defense gathered on the sideline to prepare for the scrimmage at the Coliseum on Saturday, safety Chase Williams was in the middle of the huddle, barking encouragement to his teammates. It was all unprintable, both out of respect for a player delivering private remarks to his team and due to the language involved. But it was another sign of the leadership role that Williams has taken in his fourth season at USC. "I'm really just doing my best to spread energy and get everybody hyped up, get everybody locked in," Williams said after Wednesday's practice. "so I think us being in the circle, that's just a time when we can bring that upon our teammates and our brothers."

Williams has been a seldom-used reserve in his time at USC. Playing behind Talanoa Hufanga (now of the San Francisco 49ers) and Isaiah Pola-Mao, Williams had to bide his time. In 2020, all four of his tackles in the season came in one game. But after Hufanga's departure to the NFL, Williams has established himself as Pola-Mao's new running mate, both as a starter at safety and a leader in the locker room. "When those guys speak, it's almost more powerful than when coaches speak because they actually have been around these guys for longer than we have," defensive coordinator Todd Orlando said. "(Williams has) grown so much from when I first got here. I think he was just kind of feeling himself. But I think he understands what we're all about." - Orange County Register

  San Jose State University defensive end Viliami Fehoko and linebacker Alii Matau, returning starters from the Spartans' 2020 Mountain West championship football team, are two of the 63 players named to the Polynesian College Football Player of the Year watch list. The award is presented annually to the most outstanding college football player of Polynesian ancestry that epitomizes great ability and integrity. San Jose State is one of 31 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools with a representative on the 2021 watch list.

Fehoko was a first-team All-Mountain West selection and one of the most consistent and dynamic players in the conference and nationally. He led the conference in number of tackles for loss and tied for 17th nationally with his 12.5 total. The fourth-year Spartan registered at least 1.0 tackles for loss in each of the team's final seven games of the season. The Spartan defensive end also was credited with 6.0 quarterback sacks and had a streak of four consecutive games with a sack. - San Jose State Football

  08/07/21 - Nick Starkel, rSr/2022, San Jose State, 6-4, 217 (DS#24 QB) + More +

  Since its inception in 2012, San Jose State University quarterback Nick Starkel is the first and only Spartan eligible to be nominated for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award. The Texas-based college football award named after Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell calls for nominations of players on offense with high school or college ties to the state of Texas. The nominees also would possess integrity, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community and tenacity which defined Campbell's football career from his high school days through a storied National Football League career.

Starkel finished his first San Jose State season leading the Spartans to a Mountain West championship, the school's first conference football title since 1991. He became the first known first-year player in a San Jose State uniform to be named a season team captain and completed 64.2 percent of his passes for 2,174 yards and 17 touchdowns in eight games. Returning for his final year of college football, Starkel starts the 2021 season as one of 53 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) players named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award preseason watch list. He is one of 10 quarterbacks listed. - San Jose State Football

Snyder is preparing for his fifth active season at San Jose State and is the team's most experienced player with 45 games played and 40 starts. He has started the Spartans' last 38 consecutive games dating back to the 2017 season. - San Jose State Football

  Williams has been a seldom-used defensive back in his first three years at USC. He's always been regarded as a cerebral football player, but his body seemed to catch up to his mind during spring practices as he showed off a stronger frame and more physical play style. The competition to replace Talanoa Hufanga will be fierce; Texas transfer Xavion Alford also had a strong spring. But Williams could be ready for a bigger role. - Orange County Register

  08/01/21 - Cade Hall, rSr/2023, San Jose State, 6-2, 270 (DS#999 DE) + More +

  San Jose State University defensive lineman Cade Hall is one of 35 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) players named to the 2021 Walter Camp Player of the Year Award watch list by the Walter Camp Football Foundation. Hall earned his spot on the watch list after receiving a 2020 Walter Camp Football Foundation second-team All-America honor for a superb season of 10.0 quarterback sacks in seven games as San Jose State won the Mountain West, finished with a 7-1 overall win-loss record, and posted .875 winning percentage - third best in school history. Going into his fourth college season, the 6-foot-3, 270-pound lineman also was the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year and the Mountain West championship football game's Defensive Most Valuable Player to go along with his Walter Camp All-America recognition in 2020. - San Jose State Football

  Throughout his San Jose State University career, starting linebacker Tysyn Parker displayed a quiet dedication to the game of football, a focused pursuit of a college degree, and very willing to assist those who could use a helping hand. For combining all three traits during his four years as a Spartan, Parker, from Serra High in Gardena, Calif., and majoring in justice studies, is one of 45 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) players nominated for the 2021 American Football Coaches Association's (AFCA) Good Works Team and this year's Wuerffel Trophy. At San Jose State for the last three years, Parker has mentored fourth and fifth grade students at a nearby elementary school who are lacking a male role model and participated in community outreach events such as Autism Speaks and the Silicon Valley YWCA's Walk a Mile in Her Shoes to raise awareness that any form of violence against women is not acceptable. - San Jose State Football

  07/29/21 - Cade Hall, rSr/2023, San Jose State, 6-2, 270 (DS#999 DE) + More +

  For San Jose State University defensive lineman Cade Hall, appearing on a college football national watch list the past two weeks is a regular occurrence. The 2021 Bronko Nagurski Award presented by Lending Tree honors the best defensive player regardless of position in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) is the latest preseason recognition for Hall, named to several 2020 All-America teams.

Hall is the first San Jose State player since defensive end Travis Johnson in 2012 named to a Nagurski Award watch list. The award is named after Bronko Nagurski, an outstanding college football player at the University of Minnesota and later professionally with the Chicago Bears who is enshrined in the Pro Football and College Football halls of fame. A year ago, Hall was second nationally in quarterback sacks per game with 10.0 in seven contests as San Jose State won the Mountain West championship for the first time since joining the conference in 2013 and first league title since sharing a portion of the Big West championship in 1991. - San Jose State Football

  University of Hawaii quarterback Chevan Cordeiro is believed to be the first college athlete in the state of Hawaii to enter into an endorsement partnership with a local company. The Saint Louis graduate was introduced as a spokesperson for Central Pacific Bank on Thursday on the heels of the NCAA announcing a uniform interim policy suspending name, image, and likeness (NIL) rules for all incoming and current student-athletes in all sports. "I'm thankful to Central Pacific Bank for giving me this opportunity," said Cordeiro. "This is an exciting development for me and for college athletes in general. I look forward to learning more about how to balance the demands of being a student-athlete and what it takes to be successful in business." Terms of the deal between CPB and Cordeiro were not disclosed. - Khon2.com

  Nick Starkel began his collegiate career at Arkansas (and then Texas A&M) before arriving in San Jose last year. All the Texas native did in his first season as the Spartans' signal caller was operate an offense that scored nearly 30 points a game and averaged 298.4 passing yards, good for 19th nationally. Starkel completed 64.2% of his passes with 17 touchdown tosses against just seven interceptions. - Casper Star-Tribune

  On the first day collegiate athletes were allowed to earn money off their name, image and likeness, San Jose State quarterback Nick Starkel had a piece of advice for his teammates: don't lend it out to just anyone - and maybe not at all. "If you're missing practice for a photoshoot because you got a deal with a brand you're working on, I will rip you a new one," Starkel said in a social media video Thursday. "In the end, it is America. It is a free country. Do what you desire. But a PSA to my teammates … I do not expect you to let it distract you. If it does, we're gonna have a serious problem."

Starkel, a senior who passed for 2,174 yards and 17 touchdowns last season, posted a series of videos to Instagram in response to the new law of the land beginning Thursday. Facing laws in six states set to take effect this month, the NCAA agreed to change its so-called NIL rules, paving the way for a new potential source of income for amateur athletes, who had previously been barred by the NCAA of receiving any compensation. Starkel, however, said the NIL deals are unlikely to benefit everyone. "Everybody's acting like everyone out here is gonna get a shoe brand deal or something," Starkel said. "Name one offensive lineman in the NFL that has his own shoe deal. It doesn't happen. Not everyone's gonna get it. It's the best players at the best schools." - San Jose Mercury News
