  2022 PRESEASON WUERFFEL TROPHY (COMMUNITY SERVICE) WATCHLIST: Bijan Robinson, Texas, Jr., RB,...Last season, the Tucson, Ariz. native was a first-team All-Big 12 selection and honorable mention as the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, and named a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award, Doak Walker Award and Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award. In 10 games, he rushed for 1,127 yards on 195 carries (5.8 ypc) and scored 11 touchdowns and hauled in 26 receptions for 295 yards (11.3 ypr) and four touchdowns. - Texas Football

  ESPN TOP 100 PRESEASON 2022 CFB PLAYERS (Selected Aug. 17): No. 99. Andrew Mukuba, S, Clemson, Sophomore. Notable 2021 stat: 48 tackles (30 solo). Last year's ranking: NR. When Lannden Zanders went down in Clemson's opener against Georgia last year, Mukuba -- a true freshman -- was thrust into a starting job. He didn't miss a beat. For the season, Mukuba held opposing QBs to less than 50% completions, had seven pass breakups, allowed just three completions of 20 yards or more and surrendered less than half a yard per coverage snap. Meanwhile, he finished fourth on the team with 48 tackles. His role in 2022 gets even bigger, however, as he's the only established starter in Clemson's new-look secondary. - ESPN.com

  Name, Image and Likeness has been a game changer for the college football world. NCAA athletes are able to make money off the field in a way we have never seen before. Texas running back Bijan Robinson is a prime example of a player taking full advantage of his NIL opportunities. The Heisman hopeful has built an impressive portfolio of NIL deals over the past calendar year. Robinson is working with Lamborghini, Raising Cane's, C4 Energy and many more notable brands. His latest NIL deal might be his best one yet. We have seen a fair share of creative NIL deals in this new era of college sports but this one might take the cake. "Bijan Mustardson" is now available for anyone to purchase. It is sure to be a popular condiment at Texas Longhorn tailgates in the fall. - Longhorns Wire

  08/22/22 - Quinn Ewers, rJr/2025, Texas, 6-2, 214 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Former Ohio State football player Quinn Ewers has been named Texas' starting quarterback for the 2022 season. Ewers originally committed to the Longhorns as the top-rated player in the 2022 class before flipping to the Buckeyes two months after the decision. He then proceeded to make a list of significant decisions that eventually landed him in Austin as the starter. The first step towards that was by reclassifying to the 2021 class and enrolling six months earlier than expected as the four scholarship quarterbacks on OSU's roster. He arrived in August just a few days into fall camp, and his time in Columbus lasted about four months, with his only in-game experience coming in the form of two snaps at the end of a long-decided 56-7 home win over Michigan State.

He chose Texas not long after entering the transfer portal, putting him in a battle with Hudson Card, who was the projected starter coming into his third year in the program. Instead, the Ewers era will begin in Austin on Sept. 3 when the Longhorns host ULM. The former perfectly-rated recruit will get his first taste of the national spotlight the following week when Alabama comes to town as the top-ranked team in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 poll. Ewers is one of two quarterbacks from Ohio State's 2021 roster playing for other teams this year but is the only one that's officially been named a starter. Jack Miller is now at Florida, where was projected to serve as a backup to Anthony Richard before undergoing thumb surgery. C.J. Stroud returns as the Buckeyes' starter in 2022, while Kyle McCord is his unquestioned backup. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

  08/18/22 - Jordan Whittington, rSr/2024, Texas, 6-1, 202 (DS#30 WR) + More +

  Texas wide receiver Isaiah Neyor went down with a knee injury last week. Lost in that news is the Longhorns have a very good alternative that could play on the outside. Jordan Whittington is not receiving much credit as a downfield threat, but his history tells us he can stretch defenses. Last year, Whittington made an acrobatic catch that helped Texas beat TCU. The year before he won a 50-50 ball on the sideline against UTEP for an impressive catch. Despite popular opinion, the talented redshirt junior has shown he can posterize defenses downfield. Whittington has the size, speed, strength and physicality to soften the loss of Neyor. While boundary receiver is not Whittington's best position, Steve Sarkisian believes he is capable of moving around to accommodate the offense. - Longhorns Wire

  08/17/22 - DeMarvion Overshown, rSr/2023, Texas, 6-3, 229 (DS#10 OLB) + More +

  2022 PRESEASON ROTARY LOMBARDI AWARD WATCHLIST: DeMarvion Overshown, University of Texas, 5th Yr, LB,...Overshown is a fifth-year linebacker who has played in 38 career games and made 22 starts. Last season, he played in and started 10 games, leading the Longhorns in total tackles (74) and solo tackles (38), while tying for the team lead in assists (36) and ranking second in tackles for loss (5.5). - Texas Football

  08/11/22 - Darius Snow, rSr/2027, Texas, 6-0, 230 (DS#999 ILB) + More +

  The move is official, or as official as it's going to be. As Michigan State opened preseason camp last week, Darius Snow was listed on the roster as a linebacker. The junior started nine games last season - eight at nickelback and one at safety - before spending most of spring practice working with the linebackers. It was more of an experiment then, but as the Spartans prepare for the season opener Sept. 2 at home against Western Michigan, Snow is moving full-speed ahead as a linebacker. The move makes sense as the coaching staff is doing everything it can to make sure Snow is on the field for as many snaps as possible. Just don't put a label on the 6-foot-1, 220-pound nephew of former Michigan State All-American linebacker Percy Snow. "I feel like an athlete," Snow said when asked if he was starting to feel like a linebacker. "I feel like an athlete that's playing linebacker."

Fair enough. And if Snow is producing at the level Mel Tucker and the coaching staff are expecting, then Snow can call himself whatever he wants. It's all part of a move the Spartans feel makes them a better defense after Snow finished third on the team in tackles in 2021 with 87 while adding 5.5 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, an interception and a fumble recovery. It's part of Snow's plan, too, to be as valuable as possible to a Michigan State defense that needs a big jump this fall after finishing last in the nation in pass defense a year ago. He's playing primarily on the outside, but has worked some in the middle and can always shift back to the secondary when needed. - Detroit News

  Excitement for the 2022 Texas football season is extremely high. Fans are chopping at the bit to pack Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium and support the team. The University of Texas announced on Friday season ticket sales for the upcoming year have surpassed the all-time record. The mark was previously set in 2019 at just over 63,000 seats. Fans will be treated to a rare seven home games in 2022, including a premier nonconference matchup against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Texas will also play host to Louisiana Monroe and UTSA, along with Big 12 Conference foes West Virginia, Iowa State, TCU and Baylor. - USA Today

  08/09/22 - Raleek Brown, rSr/2027, Texas, 5-08, 191 (DS#6 RB) + More +

  Friday may not have been the first day of classes, but it had that type of vibe as USC football opened its first training camp of the Lincoln Riley era. "Didn't sleep very good last night," Riley said as his team walked off the field. "You're just kinda excited and ready for this day to go." It's a very different group of Trojans from this time last year. USC lost 54 players from the 2021 roster and returns only nine starters while adding 10 high school and junior college prospects and 20 transfers to the locker room. Several of these new faces made their debuts in spring camp, but others were taking part in their first practice on Friday. Among the newcomers was running back Raleek Brown, the No. 2 prospect in the state of California in the 2022 class according to 247Sports.com.

Brown was a significant figure soon after Riley was hired by USC in November. He became the first commitment of the head coach's tenure, and a fitting one at that. Not only did he come from traditional USC pipeline Mater Dei, but he also was a pledge to Riley at Oklahoma. After missing out on spring practices while finishing up high school, Brown was hard to miss in his first day in cardinal and gold, even standing at 5-foot-8. "His speed on the field is noticeable. And he's on the field with a lot of good athletes," Riley said. "Day 1 and backs are a little tough sometimes to fully evaluate when they're not in pads. But I thought he had a good summer with us. Athletically he does some things that are certainly exciting." Brown spent the summer working out with the team and getting acclimated to the new locker room. It didn't take him long to make an impression, even on the upperclassmen lifting weights with him. "Raleek has been quite the goofball," sixth-year center Brett Neilon said. "We like to chat it up and I mess with him and he messes with me." - Orange County Register

  08/09/22 - Matthew Golden, Jr/2025, Texas, 5-11, 191 (DS#2 WR) + More +

  As the morning sun beat down on the practice field Thursday, the first day of the University of Houston's football preseason camp, Matthew Golden looked like a seasoned veteran rather than a true freshman. Golden, a first-year receiver from Klein Cain, made a move to the right and snagged the ball in the air with one hand before taking off downfield. He made another catch. And another. On campus since January, Golden has already drawn praise from coaches and teammates. His position coach, Daikiel Shorts Jr., said Golden has the physique of a "Greek god." Nathaniel "Tank" Dell, likely envisioning big passing numbers paired with Golden this fall, offered a recent preview: "That man is going to be special. You're going to see this year." Then came Thursday morning, when coach Dana Holgorsen confirmed what many had speculated: Go ahead and pencil Golden into a starting spot at one of UH's outside receiver spots. "Right now, Matt Golden is the starting 'Z' receiver. I can tell you that right now," Holgorsen told reporters before the first practice.

Golden, who turned 19 on Monday, brings impressive credentials to the Cougars. He had more than two dozen scholarship offers, switching his commitment from TCU to UH in the final month before the December signing period. He is rated the third-highest ranked player to sign with the Cougars in the modern recruiting era, according to the 247Sports composite rankings, behind only defensive tackle Ed Oliver (2016) and wide receiver Deontay Greenberry (2012). "I feel like Matthew has the talent to be the next star receiver at UH," Dell said. - Houston Chronicle

  08/08/22 - Quinn Ewers, rJr/2025, Texas, 6-2, 214 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  The battle for the starting Texas quarterback job is underway in Austin. Competition is bringing out the best in each quarterback. In the minimal footage we have seen, both quarterbacks have been accurate. Nevertheless, one throwing motion caught some attention. Texas fans are familiar with Hudson Card's strong skillset and passing ability, but recently got to see Quinn Ewers' arm talent on full display. Watching the Southlake Carroll gunslinger passing the ball in Texas practice gear makes it easier to visualize Ewers leading the Longhorns into a real game. Maalik Murphy is certainly a player who could factor into Texas' long-term plans at quarterback as well.

Despite last year's inconsistency at quarterback, there is confidence that coach Steve Sarkisian will make the best quarterback decision for this team. Now that he is more knowledgable of his personnel than last season, it could be easier to determine the right quarterback fit. Sarkisian could have his quarterback selected in the next two weeks. - Austin American Statesman

  08/08/22 - Kelvin Banks Jr., Jr/2025, Texas, 6-5, 315 (DS#1 OG) + More +

  The Texas Longhorns brought in an exceptionally talented seven-man freshman class of offensive linemen highlighted by five-stars Kelvin Banks and Devon Campbell. The freshman group is already standing out just days into fall camp. Star running back Bijan Robinson is raving about the newcomers and the returners from last season. Earlier this week offensive tackle Kelvin Banks (6-5, 318) received a lot of attention for great work. Rave reviews keep pouring in for the mammoth-size freshman offensive linemen. "This offseason, they've been working extremely hard on different things, on how to make the run game that much better, setting up holes, setting up angles. I see a lot of angles that are setting up to create open space. Even just these two practices - I know they're not in pads yet - but I see so much improvement on the offensive line." An improved offensive line could spearhead the Texas offense to new heights this season. More protection for the winner of the quarterback battle and more holes for Robinson in the rushing attack is a recipe for success. - Austin American Statesman

  08/05/22 - Quinn Ewers, rJr/2025, Texas, 6-2, 214 (DS#4 QB) + More +

  Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville and West Virginia senator Joe Manchin intend to draft a bill to present to Congress that would regulate name, image and likeness activities within college sports, their offices announced Wednesday. The pair of U.S. senators sent a letter, dated Wednesday, to SEC commissioner Greg Sankey outlining their current concerns about NIL and asking for the SEC's input. Tuberville's office told AL.com that letters were also sent to a "broad range of stakeholders, including [athletics directors], commissioners, student groups, etc." Manchin, a Democrat, is a childhood friend of Alabama coach Nick Saban. Tuberville, a Republican and former Auburn coach, also has a long-standing friendship with Saban.

Tuberville told Sports Illustrated that both he and Manchin have spoken to Saban about the issues surrounding NIL. "I've talked to all my [coaching] buddies. They've never seen anything like it," Tuberville told SI. "When you don't have guidelines and direction, no matter what you are doing, you are lost. They are all lost right now." Tuberville told The Paul Finebaum Show later Wednesday that he has spoken to multiple coaches and conference commissioners about the topic. "Joe Manchin and I will take all this information," Tuberville said. "We will try to set some guidelines -- not overreach our bounds, not try to deter anybody making any money [among] student-athletes." - Birmingham News
