  09/12/21 - Brock Sturges, rJr/2024, Texas State, 5-11, 200 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  Brock Sturges ran for two touchdowns and his second of the game occurred in overtime to give Texas State a 23-17 win over Florida International on Saturday. FIU quarterback Max Bortenschlager fumbled the ball as he was sacked on the Panthers' first possession of overtime. Sturges' 11-yard game winner followed his 1-yard dive that ended the Bobcats' (1-1) 10-play, 62-yard drive which tied it 17-all with 10:09 left in regulation. Bortenschlager threw a 34-yard scoring pass to Rivaldo Fairweather to start the second half to give FIU (1-1) its first lead at 14-10. Bortenschlager threw for 259 yards and two touchdowns and D'vonte Price had 111 yards rushing on 23 carries. - AP College Football

  08/05/21 - Jordan McCloud, rSr/2025, Texas State, 6-0, 205 (DS#30 QB) + More +

  Here was Fisch's message about the Arizona quarterbacks battle following the spring game: "Get ready for a war. If they want to be the starting quarterback here in September, then they better be ready to compete. We've got another guy coming in, we've got a bunch of guys here, and I hope they're ready for a lot of battles to see who's going to come out on top." Gunner Cruz and returner Will Plummer split most of the snap in spring ball. That other "guy" is ex-South Florida starter Jordan McCloud, who is one of three quarterbacks Arizona has added via transfer portal; Cruz (Washington State) and walk-on Nick Moore (Oregon State) are the others.

McCloud was the only quarterback on Arizona's roster who didn't participate in spring ball, so he's behind schedule in terms of understanding verbiage and experiencing Fisch's offense first-hand. But McCloud stayed engaged as much as he could, and even attended a spring practice as a spectator. In two seasons at South Florida, McCloud completed 244 of 418 passes for 2,770 yards and 21 touchdowns while being intercepted 10 times. He also rushed for 357 yards and five touchdowns. In the final game of the 2020 season against Central Florida, McCloud went 32 for 46 for 404 yards and five all-purpose touchdowns. - Arizona Star News

  08/03/21 - Deion Hankins, rSr/2025, Texas State, 5-11, 222 (DS#80 RB) + More +

  UTEP tailback Deion Hankins enters this season in a fundamentally different position from his previous two years. The Parkland alum, who graduated as El Paso's all-time leading rusher, is technically still a freshman, but one of the upshots of the strange freebie year of 2020 is that he enters this year as the most accomplished freshman UTEP's ever had. In his second year in the program after a 2019 redshirt he averaged 4.9 yards per carry as the featured tailback and scored nine touchdowns in seven games. Now he's in his third year, part of a small four-man tailback corps that nonetheless counts as the deepest spot on the roster. It also includes Quardraiz Wadley, now in his sixth year of a UTEP career that began with him backing up Aaron Jones in 2016, fifth-year junior Ronald Awatt, who averaged 4.5 yards per carry last year, and second-year freshman Willie Eldridge, the most highly rated player of the 2020 recruiting class.

This is the spot on the offense UTEP feels best about, and also one that will provide leadership for everyone. "It feels different," Hankins said. "I've been here for a while, I'm coming up on my third year. Time flies. I need to step it up with my leadership and all around as a player. "We've got a good group and we all bring something different. I bring strength, toughness. We're all tough. I try to lead more by example than by words. I definitely have to step it up. As camp progresses, I need to be an all-around leader." - El Paso Times

  08/02/21 - Beau Corrales, rSr/2024, Texas State, 6-3, 214 (DS#72 WR) + More +

  Fifth-year UNC football standout Beau Corrales is set to begin his final season in a Tar Heel uniform, hoping to avoid the kind of injuries that have plagued his four years in Chapel Hill. His most recent run-in with the injury bug was a sports hernia last year that required surgery and forced him to miss the team's final handful of games of the season. Back on the field in 2021 for an additional season of college football - that thanks to the NCAA allowing all student-athletes an extra year of eligibility due to the Covid-19 pandemic that affected so much of the 2020 season - Corrales is ready to make a difference for the ACC Coastal-favorite Tar Heels. But he's also got some side activities going on in the mean time.

On Saturday, it was announced that the Georgetown, Texas native will be teaming with Bojangles this season. That marriage is thanks to the NCAA's new NIL rules allowing student-athletes to earn money from their name, image and likeness while still in college. The popular fried chicken chain sent out a tweet on Saturday evening that touted their new partnership, stating that it's "Beau time." - Keeping It Heel

  07/31/21 - Tyler Vitt, rSr/2023, Texas State, 6-2, 205 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Texas State University senior quarterback Tyler Vitt is one of 93 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) student-athletes to receive consideration for the 2021 Wuerffel Trophy, the organization announced Thursday morning.

He completed 74 of 122 passes (60.66 percent) for 933 yards and nine touchdowns. On the ground, he was also credited with 129 rushing yards and a touchdown on 37 attempts.

Off the gridiron, the 6-foot-2, 205-pound signal caller from San Antonio, Texas by way of MacArthur HS assists with the program's annual Bobcat Giving Tree in conjunction with the Texas State cheerleading program and university police department. He also volunteers his time serving the San Marcos community by cleaning rivers and local parks in addition to spending time at the city's pet shelter. - Texas State Football

  07/28/21 - Brock Sturges, rJr/2024, Texas State, 5-11, 200 (DS#999 RB) + More +

The award is named after former SMU halfback Doak Walker, who played for the Mustangs from 1945-49, and is annually presented to the top running back in the FBS. Sturges is one of seven Sun Belt tailbacks named to the list. The Allen native transferred to Texas State from Butler Community College in 2020 and made an immediate impact, starting in 10 games and playing in all 12.

  05/25/21 - Liam Dick, rJr/2024, Texas State, 6-6, 295 (DS#999 OT) + More +

  Another Pitt lineman is moving on, adding to the Panthers' growing list of offseason departures. Liam Dick, a reserve offensive tackle, has entered the transfer portal, according to both 247 Sports and Rivals. Dick will have four years of eligibility wherever he lands. Players can technically still return to their old teams after testing the portal, but that's a rare occurrence. Dick never played for the Panthers after redshirting in 2019 and being a backup last fall. Dick, an Ontario native, was a two-star recruit in Pitt's 2019 class who fielded 11 offers, including interest from Louisville, North Carolina and Washington State. - Pittsburgh Post Gazette

  Arkansas defensive tackle Nick Fulwider has entered the transfer portal, a UA source confirmed on Tuesday. The 6-7, 290-pound redshirt junior from Tyrone, Ga., had not been able to crack the two deep for the Razorbacks.

The Razorbacks have had five defensive linemen transfer or announce their intention to transfer since the season ended, with Fulwider joining defensive ends Julius Coates and Blayne Toll, and tackles David Porter and Enoch Jackson Jr. Arkansas has transfer defensive tackles Markell Utsey (Missouri) and John Ridgeway (Illinois State) and transfer defensive end Tre Williams coming to campus for the 2021 season. - Northwest Arkansas Times
