  USC coaches have been waiting for Vann to take a big step forward. He has started eight of 32 career games but has 47 catches for 377 yards and two touchdowns among all those minutes. "I'd say my play has been OK," Vann said. "It's not where it needs to be right now." A positive is Vann seems to be the most versatile receiver on the roster, getting reps at all three spots. And it is worth pointing out he was always trying to get catches alongside Bryan Edwards and Smith, who are each in the NFL. "I take, I wouldn't say full blame, but there's certain things I can do to change that," he said. "I had to get my body where I needed it to be." - The Post and Courier

  He's stayed on his workouts, an average day at the operations building lasting from 5:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. Even on break, as the coaching staff grabs some R and R after a thrilling but exhausting month of camps and recruiting, Luke Doty hasn't relaxed, calling the South Carolina teammates who are scattered around Doty's native Myrtle Beach and inviting them to work out at Doug Shaw Stadium, where Doty started his journey to become the Gamecocks' starting quarterback. That's the work required to remain where he is: Clear-cut QB1 exiting spring practice. That's the want-to he's always shown, from getting a Division I offer as an eighth-grader to not being a full-time starter until his junior season at Myrtle Beach to being named the state's "Mr. Football" as a senior.

"He's definitely more vocal now. Last year he was a younger person," said right tackle Dylan Wonnum, who saw Doty take over at QB at halftime of USC's third-to-last game last year. "I feel like he's getting more comfortable, which means you can get more vocal. I've seen a lot of improvement from Luke." Doty is doing all he can to be in tip-top shape once Aug. 5 comes and the Gamecocks report for preseason camp. The physical attributes are being tweaked and goaded toward the best they can be every day of the summer. Yet playing quarterback is only part of it. Luke Doty is about to be The Quarterback. - Rock Hill Herald

  It's a decision that allows athletes to profit off their individual brands, and few players in college sports will be able to do so as much as Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler, who has about 63,000 followers on Twitter and 377,000 followers on Instagram. The 6-foot-1 redshirt sophomore boasts the best odds to win the 2021 Heisman Trophy from betting sites such as Draft Kings and MyBookie.org, and he's widely believed to be the top pick in next year's NFL Draft. Rattler voiced his excitement for the rule change on Wednesday in a statement that also featured the unveiling of his brand logo, which is a rattlesnake contorting its body into the shape of Rattler's initials. "I am excited for the opportunities ahead with name, image and likeness," Rattler posted on Twitter. "This is a great new era for college athletes. At the same time, we must continue to prioritize academics and athletics."

Rattler stated that he will donate a part of any earnings to help underserved people and underserved communities. "We as players must use our platform and this new NIL opportunity to do good in the world," Rattler said. "The time is now." Those earnings have already begun to come in as Rattler announced his first partnership on Thursday with Cameo, an online service that lets people hire public figures to create personalized videos. For individual users, the price of a video from Rattler is $125. For brands and businesses seeking an endorsement from the star quarterback, the price skyrockets to $2,500. - Daily Oklahoman

  A pair of Arkansas football players announced Thursday they have formed brand ambassador partnerships through new NCAA name, image and likeness rules. Trey Knox, a junior receiver, has partnered with PetSmart for a social media advertising campaign, and sophomore defensive back Khari Johnson announced a partnership with gaming platform Yoke. The marketing company Playfly Sports announced the deal for Knox. Johnson announced his partnership on his Instagram page. No terms of the agreements were disclosed for either player. Knox has played in 21 games at Arkansas and has caught 35 passes for 455 yards and 3 touchdowns. Johnson recorded eight tackles in nine games last season. - Northwest Arkansas Times

  It would be too easy to look at ZaQuandre White's statistics in South Carolina's spring game and say, "Sure, but he was the only healthy scholarship running back in a glorified scrimmage where over 20 regulars didn't dress." It's easier to look at his total performance this spring and say, "That guy needs to play." "He is a weapon for us. I think he's going to have a big-time 2021 season," coach Shane Beamer said after White wowed the crowd with 95 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, plus one catch for 19 yards, in the Garnet & Black Spring Game. "With Kevin Harris and MarShawn Lloyd and Rashad Amos not playing today, he took advantage of that opportunity, no doubt about it. And he's going to get a lot more carries because of it."

White has earned that, even if he's considered third string behind Harris, the SEC's top rusher in 2020, and Lloyd, a prized recruit who missed his entire first season with a knee injury. He didn't miss one snap of spring ball and after one meeting about ball security, took it upon himself to construct an entire PowerPoint presentation, complete with clips of running backs coach Montario Hardesty toting the ball at Tennessee, so he could further illustrate the issue to his fellow backs. "I'm the oldest back in the room so I should know everything and what to do," White said. "MarShawn's young, Rashad's young, Kevin had a good season. I'm an old back, so I should know what I need to do." - The Post and Courier

  Alright, so maybe he isn't quite ready to take on Floyd Mayweather. But if Mayweather wants to get Nick Muse in the boxing ring for a few rounds, Muse figures he could at least get a few good jabs in. "I don't think I'd be very good at it as a career," South Carolina's fifth-year tight end deadpanned. "I'd like to play football as long as possible. Nah, it's something I do for good cardio. My brother got me into it." Muse recently visited older brother Tanner Muse, a Clemson alum who now plays linebacker for the Raiders, in Las Vegas. While there, he met one of the trainers for heavyweight bruiser Tyson Fury.

"He showed me a lot of great stuff that some of the big-time guys are doing. It got me to understand how hard that was and not to take it for granted," Muse said. "I bought a couple pairs of legit boxing gloves, got some wraps and a 75-pound aqua bag." He posted a video to Twitter of himself working the standard heavy bag and then the aqua bag (a round water-filled sack much bigger than a standard punching bag) in the basement of his North Carolina home. The Muse family already had a well-equipped weight room down there, something Muse got used to during last summer's COVID-19 quarantine, so adding some boxing equipment didn't take up too much space. - The Post and Courier

  Robby Ashford is no longer playing baseball for Oregon in 2021. The Ducks freshman outfielder and quarterback is spending the remainder of the year focused solely on football. "Robby's chosen to devote himself to football since spring ball started and he'll continue to do that," UO baseball coach Mark Wasikowski said. "I definitely think that I can see him back with our program in the future, like next year; I can see that for sure. But he's really kind of pushed everything in; he wants to win that second quarterback spot with the football program and those are his wishes so we honor that for sure, pulling for him."

Ashford hit .200 (7 for 35) with a .293 on-base percentage with six runs scored, two RBIs, five walks, 13 strikeouts and stole three bases on five attempts in 20 games with 10 starts this spring. He hadn't played for the Ducks since an April 6 midweek game against Portland, which coincided with Oregon football's second week of spring practice. Ashford was competing for the starting center field job to begin the season, but Anthony Hall has emerged as UO's every day center fielder and started 24 of the last 25 games. Ashford was 7 of 8 for 123 yards with a 44-yard touchdown and ran in the winning two-point conversion to cap Oregon's spring game. - The Oregonian

  There are concerns, and rightly so, about South Carolina's offense in 2021. A new quarterback, a fleet of anonymous wide receivers and the knowledge that the Gamecocks can't run the ball on every down doesn't inspire great expectations. The offense can't ask the defense to score for it. The defense, led by a deep and nasty line, can ask the offense to score just 21 points a game. They'll take care of the rest. "The aggression isn't coming from the blitzing, it's moreso the mentality. The way we attack everything," said J.J. Enagbare, who led the Gamecocks with six sacks last season. "This new defense is basically letting the D-line rush and get more opportunities and get more sacks and production from all of us. We know what we need to do to do what we want to do."

Shane Beamer didn't inherit a roster full of star athletes but his defensive line room is one that didn't need a lot of help. Enagbare returns along with Aaron Sterling, Jordan Burch, Zacch Pickens, Tonka Hemingway, Rick Sandidge and Jabari Ellis. USC added Georgia State pass-rusher extraordinaire Jordan Strachan and Sumter native Keem Green, last seen making a handful of tackles for Nebraska. With new line coach Jimmy Lindsey and new defensive coordinator Clayton White, the line knows it's expected to be the strength of this year's defense, if not the entire team. - The Post and Courier

  Jaycee Horn remains No. 1. South Carolina's junior cornerback was the first defensive player taken in the first round of the NFL Draft on April 29, the Carolina Panthers believing Horn's pre-draft assertion that he is the best corner among this year's selection. Horn, who wore jersey No. 1 during two of his three seasons as a Gamecock, was the eighth overall pick. He is the 15th USC player taken in the first round, the third in four years, the fifth USC defensive back to be a first-rounder and the 19th USC DB to be drafted since the Gamecocks joined the SEC in 1992. Exact contract terms haven't been finalized, but last year's eighth pick, Arizona Cardinals linebacker (and former Clemson standout) Isaiah Simmons, received a four-year, $20.66 million deal, including a signing bonus of $12.58 million.

As the eighth selection, Horn is the third-highest Gamecock ever drafted. USC has had two No. 1s (George Rogers and Jadeveon Clowney) and two No. 7s (Sterling Sharpe and Troy Williamson). The son of former NFL receiver Joe Horn, Jaycee Horn had a meteoric rise up draft boards midway through his third and final season at USC. A shutdown corner who had dabbled at nickel and safety the previous two years due to injuries to the Gamecocks' other DBs, Horn was named Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week following a 30-22 upset of No. 15 Auburn. - The Post and Courier

  For the first time since 2017, an Oklahoma quarterback won't be selected in the NFL draft. It's unlikely that happens again next year. Several teams will bank on the likes of Clemson's Trevor Lawrence, Alabama's Mac Jones and Ohio State's Justin Fields to become their next franchise quarterback when the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft begins at 7 p.m. Thursday. OU redshirt sophomore Spencer Rattler is poised to follow in their footsteps in 2022 if the former five-star recruit's second year as the Sooners' starting quarterback lives up to his lofty expectations. "I don't try to set a roof on what I can do as a player on the field," Rattler said. "...I want to be the most unstoppable quarterback, best quarterback in the country coming up to this year and put on a show and do it with my guys."

Rattler, of course, hasn't finalized any plans to enter next year's draft. He will be eligible for it, though, and that's enough for Rattler to start seeing his name floated as the first quarterback taken in 2022. If Rattler were to go No. 1 overall, he'd become OU coach Lincoln Riley's top pick in the draft since 2018, joining former Sooner quarterbacks and Heisman Trophy winners Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray. He'd be the fourth OU quarterback taken during that span, which includes OU's 2019 starter, Jalen Hurts, going in the second round of last year's draft. - Norman Transcript

  Spencer Rattler has Heisman Trophy expectations and the Sooners have national title aspirations, so the quarterback's development has been one of the main storylines of spring. One of the main lessons Rattler says he learned during the 2020 OU football season? Eliminating mistakes. That was especially apparent during the Red River game. "I just knew I had to just step it up a little bit," he said. "I could flip a switch and lock into a mode where I feel like I'm in control now with my decisions on the field, my play, my energy, how guys around me are bringing their energy and this and that. Just being a leader, being a confident quarterback, you have to have that mindset." - Daily Oklahoman

  Coming into a program where he had to heavily play the transfer portal and take a lot of flyers, new head coach Shane Beamer had "pass rush" high on the list of topics he needed to address. He feels he found it, both in a sack-producer (Jordan Strachan) and a linebacker (Debo Williams) to clean up the rest. "Both of them got good talent, they got some talent with them," defensive end Aaron Sterling said. "It's going to help us out tremendously. They're going to be a good impact for us." Strachan, pronounced "Strahn," transferred from Georgia State, where he tied for the FBS lead in 2020 with 10½ sacks. He also had 14 tackles for loss, all after wrecking a knee in the first game of the 2019 season. "Last year, doing what I did, I entered the portal and a lot of schools came after me. I wanted to challenge myself, me and my family wanted a challenge, to see what I could do at this stage and this level of football," Strachan said. "I felt like I did everything I was going to do at the level I was and the school I was at, and I wanted to play big-time football not too far from home." - The Post and Courier

  Lincoln Riley expects more from Spencer Rattler in 2021. Much more. "The thing that he's got to continue to challenge himself to do mentally is you've got to be careful because if you do this you'll stop progressing," Riley said of his quarterback. "You can't say, 'Well, I've been a starting quarterback for a year, I know this system, my work ethic, my study habits, my focus in meetings, my attention to detail, like, I'm good. Like I got it.' "No, you don't got it. You never get it. It's a constant battle to get better. The starting point is way better and if he'll continue to work." The OU standard at quarterback is sky high.

That's what having a five-year run of Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts will do. Rattler was good last year - throwing for 3,031 yards and 28 touchdowns with seven interceptions - but more is expected of him in 2021. Last year, Rattler embraced those expectations and is doing it once again. "I don't try to set a roof on what I can do as a player on the field," Rattler said. "I'm not overstressing or another, I just go out there and play ball. "I want to be the most unstoppable quarterback, best quarterback in the country coming up this year and put on a show and do it with my guys." - Daily Oklahoman

  Call them what you want: Bucks, Edges, pass rushers. All Kingsley Enagbare knows is this - his position group for South Carolina football has some dogs. For a defensive unit undergoing major changes at linebacker and defensive back, the Gamecocks return a lot of talent along the defensive line. And on the ends in particular, they have a plethora of playmakers. Enagbare, who finished last year tops on the team and tied for fifth in the SEC in sacks, is back for his senior season. Fifth-year senior Aaron Sterling returns after struggling with injury last season, looking to regain the form that made him the team's co-sack leader in 2019 with Javon Kinlaw. And behind them are the Jordans - sophomore and former five-star recruit Jordan Burch is hoping to build off a freshman season in which he flashed major potential, and transfer Jordan Strachan is coming in from Georgia State, where he was nation's co-leader in sacks last season.

"We definitely see ourselves as the strength of this team...We have several dogs in our room," Enagbare said. "And, yeah, we definitely came to break records and do all that and just shock the world and show what we're about." Enagbare and Sterling have combined for 20 career sacks at South Carolina, while Strachan had 10.5 in last season alone. Burch has yet to get his first collegiate sack, but with his enormous ability, it's only a matter of time. So will there be a little friendly competition in the edge room to see who can take down the QB the most this spring or fall? "I'm always inviting competition, but it's really not competition," Enagbare said. "We're all just going at it, trying to make plays and produce...I'm expecting a lot of production from all of us." - Rock Hill Herald

  Doty, the former Myrtle Beach High star, took the first snap in the first spring practice because he was the only one who had done it before. Beamer said not to draw any conclusions from that. Yet after the first four spring practices, Doty still was No. 1. And from what offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Marcus Satterfield said, that seems to be the norm now and going forward. Not that Satterfield wasn't complimentary of Gauthier, Brown and Jordan. He was. But Gauthier's a freshman, Jordan's a valuable guy but it's all been behind the scenes and Brown, while athletic and talented, is transitioning from a spread offense to a pro-style offense. Again, it's only been a week of spring ball but it seems to be Doty's job to lose.

"I knew he was an above-the-line passer, but I didn't know how natural he was. I'm really excited to continue to work on his fundamentals and creating the best him we could possibly do," Satterfield said. "But I'm really excited about how he's throwing the ball right now. Obviously, he's athletic and can run and make the plays with his legs, but it's really good to put him in situations where he's got to use his arm." Doty "debuted" last year as a wide receiver who would sometimes run routes and sometimes get behind center for a running play. He wound up rushing 41 times for a net 91 yards (149 without sack yardage subtracted). - The Post and Courier
