Spencer Rattler is the next man up in the Oklahoma quarterback factory. Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley named Rattler the starter over Tanner Mordecai on Tuesday heading into the fifth-ranked Sooners' opener Sept. 12 against Missouri State. Rattler, a redshirt freshman, is the Big 12’s Preseason Newcomer of the Year. He was the consensus No. 1 quarterback nationally in the 2019 recruiting class. The pressure on Rattler will be great. Under Riley, Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray have won the Heisman Trophy and Jalen Hurts was the runner-up last season. Riley believes Rattler has the tools to handle it. "I think his confidence and belief in himself and his teammates - I think that's the thing that stands about him right now," Riley said. "He's never been afraid of the moment, which for young players - that's a key thing, and I don't know that that's really coached. That's something that guys either have or they don't at a young age." - AP College Football

08/25/20 - *Israel Mukuamu, Jr/2021, South Carolina, 6-4, 212 (DS#15 CB) + More +

Israel Mukuamu, a starter at corner, who along with fellow corner Jaycee Horn, is drawing NFL draft buzz and considered one of the best corner tandems in the country. But realizing Mukuamu stands 6-4, USC's safeties have often been small, quick players who have no chance of outjumping a receiver and have problems tackling those receivers when they come down with the ball, it's often been a social media gripe about why Mukuamu doesn't move to safety. He won't move. But he'll play. "He reps at safety. Israel's very smart, he can play anything," Muschamp said. "Let's get the best four DBs out there. Right now, who those four are, I couldn't tell you." Mukuamu started the season opener at safety last year, then J.T. Ibe took over for the duration of the season except one game, when he handed off to Jammie Robinson. Summerville's Roderick helmed the other safety spot after Jamyest Williams transferred. - The Post and Courier

08/17/20 - Jalen Brooks, rSr/2023, South Carolina, 6-1, 200 (DS#72 WR) + More +

Wide receiver Jalen Brooks finally arrived on campus at South Carolina. Brooks, a 6-3, 200-pound native of Harrisburg, N.C, started his college career at Wingate, made a brief stop at Tarleton State in Texas, and then transferred to USC. He moved into his apartment on the USC campus last week. Now he's waiting for the NCAA to rule on his immediate eligibility waiver request. "It's exciting. I'm ready to work," Brooks said. "That's all I can say about it. I'm just excited." Brooks caught 35 passes for 751 yards and six touchdowns last season. He was named to the first team of the All-SAC Team. He had 15 catches for 247 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman in 2018. - Charleston Post Courier

South Carolina added depth to its receiving corps with the commitment of transfer Jalen Brooks on Saturday. Brooks, from Harrisburg, North Carolina, committed to the Gamecocks after picking up an offer Friday from USC. He also had offers from Duke and North Carolina A&T. Brooks said his first contact with Muschamp was Friday night when he gave him the offer. And Muschamp was more than happy to welcome him to the Gamecock family. The 6-foot-3 Brooks played his first two seasons at Division II Wingate before signing this spring with Tarleton State, a school in Texas that is moving up to Division I. But he left Tarleton State to move closer to home because of a family situation. Brooks will have two years of eligibility left and can play this season if he is granted a waiver by the NCAA. He has filed a waiver seeking eligibility for this coming season, he said. - The State

Mukuamu has played mostly corner his first two years and became known as a good one last year, when he intercepted Georgia's Jake Fromm three times and led the Gamecocks to one of the biggest wins in their history. But at 6-4, could Mukuamu's height be of better use elsewhere? There has been talk of him being moved to safety, and he has started two games there. With corner Jaycee Horn already locking down one side of the field and safety needing help after two years of middling production, does Will Muschamp have to move one of his best guys to a position of need? - The Post and Courier

His long distance kick came as part of a 3-for-3 field goal performance vs Appalachian State, a mark he also hit against Alabama. But it was his 24 yarder in double overtime against Georgia that fans will remember best, outdueling last year's Groza winner Rodrigo Blankenship. - Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award

07/18/20 - Spencer Rattler, rSr/2024, South Carolina, 6-0, 211 (DS#7 QB) + More +

Oklahoma redshirt freshman Spencer Rattler hasn't officially been named the Sooners' starting quarterback. The media still voted Rattler as the Big 12's preseason Newcomer of the Year. The Big 12 Conference announced its preseason awards on Thursday. And Rattler, the former five-star prospect, joined Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard (Offensive Player of the Year) and West Virginia defensive lineman Darius Stills (Defensive Player of the Year) in winning an individual preseason honor.

Rattler played three games last season, completing 7-of-11 passing attempts for 81 yards and a touchdown. He entered OU's games against South Dakota, Texas Tech and LSU. The Phoenix Pinnacle High School product came to OU as the consensus No. 1 quarterback in the 2019 recruiting class. He sat behind graduate transfer quarterback Jalen Hurts last year as the team's co-backup with Tanner Mordecai. Rattler and Mordecai are expected to compete to replace Hurts this fall. - Norman Transcript

07/14/20 - Tavien Feaster, Sr/2020, South Carolina, 5-11, 221 (DS#31 RB) + More +

Tavien Feaster went undrafted following his senior season at South Carolina. After that, all the running back wanted was a chance. Feaster is getting that chance with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who signed the Spartanburg native in April. Feaster is leaving for Jacksonville on Friday and will begin workouts with the team next week. He is thankful the Jaguars were willing to give him a shot. "To be honest with you, the draft is what it is. I asked for an opportunity, not the red carpet," Feaster said at a drive-by community event he hosted in Spartanburg over the weekend. "I'm blessed with the opportunity to get out there and play and show my skills. I'm ready."

Feaster had several teams reach out to him after going undrafted before opting to sign with the Jaguars. He will be a part of a group of several backs battling to back up star Leonard Fournette. Feaster is one of three rookie running backs Jacksonville added this offseason, joining fellow undrafted free agents Nathan Cottrell of Georgia Tech and James Robinson of Illinois State. "We had a lot of teams reach out, and during the process we just decided (Jacksonville) was the best place for me to go compete for a spot," Feaster said. "It's a good team to go down there and play for, great weather in the state of Florida, and I'm going to compete." - The State

If not for the coronavirus pandemic that has put the 2020 college football season in peril, University of Arkansas football fans would be stoked for Week 2. The Razorbacks, aiming to rebound under first-year Coach Sam Pittman from a dreadful three-year funk, are scheduled to play Notre Dame for the first time Sept. 12. Events from last week began to cast doubt on whether that game will be played, as reports were brewing that the Atlantic Coast Conference - with which the independent Notre Dame is affiliated with on a scheduling basis - might follow the Big Ten and Pac-12 in planning for a conference-only football schedule this fall.

The SEC is scheduled to have in-person meetings with league athletic directors on Monday, sources told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, at the SEC office in Birmingham, Ala., to discuss the fall season in football and other matters. No firm decisions are expected from the meeting. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said this on Thursday: "The Southeastern Conference will continue to meet regularly with our campus leaders in the coming weeks, guided by medical advisers, to make the important decisions necessary to determine the best path forward related to the SEC fall sports. We recognize the challenges ahead and know the well-being of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans must remain at the forefront of those decisions." - Northwest Arkansas Times

06/17/20 - *Marcus Lattimore, Jr/2013, South Carolina, 5-11, 221 (DS#10 RB) + More +

Marcus Lattimore spoke loudly on the football field. He's speaking louder now. "We're trying at South Carolina to fight, just like everybody else in America, to fight for equality. These constant reminders that plague South Carolina, of our history, are what holds us back," Lattimore said on Wednesday. "Being reminded of that every day when a black student passes by the Strom Thurmond Center, I don't see that as inclusion, I don't see that as equality, I don't see that as advancing as a society." Lattimore lent his support to a movement started by 2014 USC graduate Heather Armel, an online business consultant in Denver who also does freelance graphic designs. Armel began a petition asking USC president Bob Caslen to rename the Strom Thurmond Wellness & Fitness Center on campus because of Thurmond's segregationist background.

Armel contacted Lattimore and other USC football alums, they threw their support behind it and Lattimore tweeted a statement on Wednesday afternoon. "To celebrate well-known segregationist Strom Thurmond's legacy by keeping his name on our Wellness Center sends a contradicting message to our black students," he said. "We can no longer be held back by those whose ideals represent division. We must continue to fight for equality." His statement was copied into tweets from Alshon Jeffery (Philadelphia Eagles), Mike Davis (Carolina Panthers) and Damiere Byrd (New England Patriots), among others. - The Post and Courier
