  Quarterback Chevan Cordeiro, running back Miles Reed, defensive back Eugene Ford and safety Khoury Bethley have been named the team captains for the University of Hawaii football team for the 2020 season. Out of the four captains, Ford is the lone senior of the group. "Just being here over the past year, understanding how the system works and the guys around me, they're like brothers now," Ford said in a Tuesday morning media call. "Coming in, you never know what to expect so just over the years, just growing with some of the guys that have been here, the opportunity is great. Just taking on that role, the way I attack my day is much different as opposed to being an asset to the team, now I have to lead. I have to lead by example or it's vocal or my actions." Reed is a redshirt junior, Bethley is a true juniors and Cordeiro is a redshirt sophomore. Cordeiro enters the 2020 season as the team's unquestioned starting quarterback. New head coach Todd Graham has also called Cordeiro the leader of the team. - khon2.com

  University of Tennessee quarterback Brian Maurer shared his battles with anxiety and depression on his Instagram account Friday, which coincided with the beginning of Mental Health Awareness Month. Maurer, who played in eight games and made four starts for the Volunteers as a freshman in 2019, even detailed his intention to commit suicide earlier this year. "On Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2020, I planned to take my own life," Maurer posted. "I thought I had lost my battle with depression and that my pain had come to an end. As I was going to do it, I said, 'God, if this isn't your plan for me, please send me a sign.' "Two minutes later, my mom called me with my baby nephew, Jeremiah, and said she was just calling to say she loved me. I then knew that by ending my pain, I would be causing so much more to the people who loved me." Maurer urged those in a similar situation to "reach out to receive help." The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder from Ocala, Florida, said he has battled anxiety and depression since middle school. - Chattanooga Times Free Press

  Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt says quarterback Brian Maurer is "probably doubtful" for Saturday's game with South Carolina after the freshman sustained a concussion in each of the Volunteers' last two contests. Pruitt updated Maurer's status Wednesday by noting the freshman hasn't taken any reps in practice this week. Pruitt had said Monday that he'd know more about Maurer's availability in the next few days. Tennessee's only other scholarship quarterbacks are junior Jarrett Guarantano and redshirt freshman J.T. Shrout.

Pruitt says he's giving both the same amount of reps in practice this week. Maurer has been knocked out of each of his three starts since unseating Guarantano as Tennessee's first-team quarterback. Maurer left a 35-13 loss to No. 1 Alabama last week late in the first quarter. Guarantano replaced him but was benched in favor of Shrout midway through the fourth period after his fourth-and-goal fumble was returned 100 yards for an Alabama touchdown. - AP College Football
