  When LSU coach Brian Kelly makes his first appearance at Southeastern Conference media days next week, he'll have three players with him. Kelly will bring along sophomore wide receiver Jack Bech, junior linebacker Mike Jones Jr. and junior edge rusher BJ Ojulari to represent the team, the league announced Tuesday. The annual event is scheduled from July 18-21 in Atlanta at the College Football Hall of Fame and The Omni Atlanta Hotel at CNN Center. Kelly and the three players will speak on the first day along with Ole Miss and Missouri coaches and players. Bech had a breakout freshman year as a hybrid tight end. The Lafayette native led the team with 43 receptions and gained 489 yards with three touchdowns. Bech appeared in every game, starting seven times. He has since returned to wide receiver full time in LSU's new offense. - Baton Rouge Advocate

  For the first time this millennium, TCU has a new head coach after Gary Patterson and the university parted ways on Halloween last season following a 3-5 start. Jerry Kill took over as interim coach and, in late November, SMU coach Sonny Dykes was officially hired as the new coach. While the staff and the system are new, several returning stalwarts and a handful of transfers will likely determine just how far TCU can go in 2022.

Despite losing leading rusher Zach Evans, junior Kendre Evans is back after leading the league in yards per rush (7.5) while running for 623 yards and seven scores. He'll run behind a line anchored by 2021 All-Big 12 second team center Steve Avila and bolstered by Alan Ali, a four-year starter at SMU before arriving via the portal. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

  Receiver Jaylon Robinson, who was limited by injuries last season, went through spring football practices with the Knights before opting to transfer. There was thought when Robinson entered the transfer portal that he would follow Dillon Gabriel. Instead, Robinson joined coach Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss. Robinson originally transferred to UCF after beginning his college career at Oklahoma. After sitting out the 2019 season due to transfer rules, he shined in his first year as a Knight by recording 100 or more receiving yards six times, the most at UCF since Brandon Marshall in 2005. Following a knee injury that limited him this past season, Robinson spent the spring at UCF before deciding to transfer a second time. - Orlando Sentinel

  A familiar face has put his name back in the spotlight during the inaugural USFL season. On Wednesday, the league announced former TCU wide receiver KaVontae Turpin won its Most Valuable Player award for the 2022 season. While playing for one of only two teams that went 9-1 in the regular season, the New Jersey Generals' top playmaker made big contributions in both the passing and kick return game. Turpin, 25, led the league in receiving yards (540) and yards after catch (316), feats he accomplished despite being targeted only 53 times, well behind league-leader and former Dallas Cowboys receiver Lance Lenoir (88 targets).

Turpin also led the USFL in punt return average (15.3) and was the only player to score a touchdown on a kick return this season. While at TCU, Turpin appeared in 42 games from 2015-18, and he collected more than 2,000 yards from scrimmage in his career. However, he went undrafted out of college before eventually landing in the USFL. - Dallas Morning News

  Ole Miss football's success in the transfer portal continues to grow. Former UCF wide receiver Jaylon Robinson committed to Ole Miss from the transfer portal Sunday. Robinson was limited by injuries in 2021 but was an All-AAC performer in 2020 when he caught 55 passes for 979 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games. The 5-foot-9, 163-pound Robinson joins Ole Miss' No. 1 ranked transfer portal recruiting class for 2022. He's the third receiver the Rebels have brought in in the class along with former Louisville pass catcher Jordan Watkins and Mississippi State transfer Malik Heath.

The Rebels also added quarterback Jaxson Dart from USC, running backs Zach Evans and Ulysses Bentley from SMU, tight end Michael Trigg from USC, offensive tackle Mason Brooks from Western Kentucky, defensive linemen JJ Pegues and Jared Ivey from Auburn and Georgia Tech, linebackers Troy Brown and Khari Coleman from Central Michigan and TCU and safeties Isheem Young and Ladarius Tennison from Iowa State and Auburn. - The Clarion Ledger

  Former UCF Knights star wide receiver Jaylon Robinson is reportedly down to two options for his third collegiate home after hitting the transfer portal last month. Robinson, who started his career at Oklahoma before transferring to Central Florida, will decide between Ole Miss and Tennessee, according to 247Sports' Rusty Mansell. The transfer wideout ranked No. 11 at his position per On3's transfer rankings has completed official visits to Ole Miss, Tennessee and TCU. Georgia was also showing interest but the Bulldogs won't get Robinson on campus, according to Mansell. Robinson is the No. 2 best-available wide receiver in the portal currently behind former Pitt Panthers star Jordan Addison. The 5-foot-9, 180-pound junior had the best season of his career in 2020 after sitting out in 2019. He posted 979 yards on 55 catches with four touchdowns. In 2021, he had 18 catches in six games played for 322 yards and two touchdowns. He suffered a knee injury on Sept. 17 against Louisville that kept him on the sideline for five games. - 247 Sports and On3

  The Canes, this week, are hoping to augment a wide receiver group that they believe could use another key rotation piece. Former UCF receiver Jaylon Robinson began a multiday visit on UM's campus on Wednesday, with Tennessee, Mississippi and TCU also very much in the mix. Playing time was scarce with two NFL receivers (Marquise Brown and CeeDee Lamb) playing virtually every snap.

He transferred to UCF, where he produced big numbers in his first year of eligibility in 2020 (55 catches, 979 yards, 17.8 average per reception and six TDs). He was third in the American Athletic Conference in receptions and yards that season. Last season, he missed five games with a knee injury and had 18 catches for 322 yards (17.9 average) and two touchdowns in six games. Robinson told 247 Sports that the quality of the team's quarterback, scheme fit and NIL opportunities will shape his decision, with a decision coming on May 15. - Miami Herald

  Poised for a 2022 standout season: Wide receiver Quentin Johnston averaged 22.1 yards per catch in 2020, the best ever for a Big 12 true freshman with at least 20 catches. He followed that up by averaging 19.2 yards per catch and having three 100-yard receiving games last season. He had 33 catches for 634 yards and six TDs despite missing three games injured. Johnston could be in for even bigger numbers with new coach Sonny Dykes, who likes his teams to throw the ball a lot. - AP College Football

  TCU football bolstered its defensive line depth on Thursday. Georgia transfer Tymon Mitchell announced his intentions to join the Frogs. Mitchell posted a picture on social media of himself in a TCU uniform, writing "The next chapter." Mitchell is listed at 6-foot-3, 300 pounds. He's expected to be utilized as both a nose tackle and end in Joe Gillespie's 3-3-5 scheme. Mitchell was rated as a three-star prospect coming out of high school in 2019. He appeared in two games as a true freshman in 2019, preserving his redshirt, and just one game in 2020. Last season, Mitchell played in five games and finished with six tackles. - Fort Worth Star

  UCF wide receiver Jaylon Robinson announced his intentions Wednesday to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Robinson is the third Knight to decide to transfer this week, but he is by far the most impactful departure. Robinson joins reserve quarterback Parker Navarro and linebacker Cole Joyce in the transfer portal. "This is hard," Robinson wrote on social media. "Hard to say goodbye. After much prayer and talk with my family about my future, I've decided that it's in my best interest to enter the transfer portal." Robinson was set for a second straight first-team all-conference season last year before he suffered a knee injury on Sept. 17 against Louisville that kept him sidelined for 5 games. After 234 yards on 12 catches with 2 touchdowns in the first 3 games, Robinson later returned and played in the final 3 of the regular season to total 6 catches for 88 yards and no scores. He missed the Gasparilla Bowl vs. Florida in December. - Orlando Sentinel

  TCU linebacker Dee Winters likely would've had a number of schools interested in him if he wanted to transfer amid the coaching change from Gary Patterson to Sonny Dykes. Winters had a team-leading 74 tackles last season and ranked second on the team in tackles in 2020. But he has opted to stay in Fort Worth for his senior season under the new staff. "The reason why some guys left is because the defense didn't fit them," Winters said earlier this spring. "But the reason I stayed was to pick up my brothers. We had some guys stay, so I wanted to be a part of that and be something great." Winters said the idea of playing under defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie was intriguing, too, given his success running a 3-3-5 scheme compared with Patterson's signature 4-2-5 defense. "I know Coach Gillespie coached at Tulsa and they've had a great defense the past few years," Winters said. "So I wanted to see what that was like, and widen my variety of defenses that I've played in. Playing in a two-man linebacker box, playing in a three man, so that can give me better options in the future." - Fort Worth Star
