Addison, if you haven't heard, has generated quite a buzz at Pitt's South Side facility. The former four-star recruit secured the Panthers' starting slot receiver role two weeks ago, just 14 days into fall camp. Addison signed in December, enrolled in January, practiced three times in the spring before COVID-19 shut everything down, went through July walkthroughs allowed by the NCAA and lit up the practice field in August. Addison's teammates have complimented his speed and maturity, but no one's gushed over the 6-foot, 170-pound pass-catcher like Pitt's head coach. Pat Narduzzi has called Addison "special" every chance he gets. And last week, when asked if Addison reminds him of any wideout he's coached or schemed against, he returned to his time as Michigan State's defensive coordinator.

"I probably don't even want to mention his name in the city of Pittsburgh. But there's one guy that kicked our butt one year for Central Michigan, a guy named Antonio Brown," Narduzzi said. Brown, the second-most prolific receiver in Steelers history, tallied 10 catches for 71 yards and a touchdown in Central Michigan's win over the Spartans in 2009. "(Addison is) kind of built like him. He's slippery like him...Other than that, I can't think of anyone else that he would look like." On Tuesday, Addison grinned when that comparison was brought up. Then the smile went away, and the newcomer preached humility and the need to keep working. Like most freshmen, Addison isn't too chatty. But he also feels comfortable on the South Side. - Pittsburgh Post Gazette

08/19/20 - MarShawn Lloyd, rJr/2024, Southern California, 5-09, 220 (DS#5 RB) + More +

South Carolina has lost one of its most anticipated offensive newcomers for the season after tailback MarShawn Lloyd tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee at practice. Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp said it was a non-contact injury during workouts Wednesday. "He just planted his foot and tore his ACL," Muschamp said. Lloyd is a 5-foot-9, 210 pound running back from Wilmington, Delaware. He was considered the country's fourth-best tailback prospect by Rivals and the fifth best by 247 Sports. Lloyd had enrolled in the spring and was expected to play a big role in the backfield, where last year's leading rushers in Tavien Feaster and Rico Dowdle were both seniors last season. There is no date set for Lloyd's surgery. - AP College Football

USC defensive lineman Jay Tufele will opt out of the Pac-12's postponed spring football season and declare for the NFL draft, the rising redshirt junior announced Wednesday on Twitter. Tufele started all 13 games for the Trojans last season and finished with 41 tackles and 4.5 sacks. He earned All-Pac-12 first-team honors and was named the team's defensive lineman of the year. The Pac-12 postponed its fall sports seasons last week amid the coronavirus outbreak with hopes of restarting after Jan. 1. The conference - hoping for advancements in testing, a decrease in COVID-19 case numbers and more data on long-term effects of the illness - hasn't announced plans for its delayed spring football season. - Los Angeles Times
