  08/05/22 - Lannden ZandersrSr/2025, Transfer, 6-1, 210 (DS#999 SS) + More +

  Veteran Clemson safety Lannden Zanders has made the "incredibly difficult decision" to retire from football after an injury-plagued career. Zanders, a fourth-year player who was expected to compete for reserve snaps at safety in 2022, cited three shoulder injuries over the past year as his main reasoning for stepping away from "the game I love" in a Wednesday Twitter post. "While I've worked hard with our trainers and doctors to return to the field, I just do not believe I am physically able to be the kind of player I have always prided myself on being," Zanders wrote.

A 6-foot-1 safety and former three-star 2019 recruit from North Carolina's Crest High School, Zanders played in 25 games with 10 starts over three seasons at Clemson. The 21-year-old safety finished his career with 57 tackles, five tackles for loss, four pass breakups and three sacks across 511 defensive snaps. After appearing in 14 games as a true freshman in 2019, Zanders played the entire 2020 season with a torn labrum in his shoulder and suffered another season-ending shoulder injury in Clemson's 2021 season opener against Georgia. "Though I am disappointed I will not play football again, I leave the game with no regrets," Zanders wrote. "I am proud I got to play beside so many great teammates and for so many great coaches." - The State

  One-time Clemson starting safety Lannden Zanders is giving up football because of continuing problems with his injured right shoulder. Zanders has had three surgeries to repair and rehab a torn labrum. He was cleared to compete at the Tigers' fall camp, which opens Friday. However, Zanders said on social media Wednesday he felt he was not "physically able" to be the player he had been and made the choice to step away from the game. Zanders started nine games for Clemson in 2020, then sustained a season-ending shoulder injury in the Tigers' 10-3 loss to eventual national champion Georgia in last year's opening game. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound fourth-year junior from Shelby, North Carolina, has had three surgeries to try and fix the injury. He leaves the program with 57 tackles, three sacks and four pass breakups in 25 games, 10 of them as a starter. - AP College Football

  The coolest NIL deal among Nebraska football players may now belong to a 19-year-old freshman whose name says it all. Decoldest Crawford and SOS Heating & Cooling have come together to promote the Omaha-based HVAC company in one of the more creative partnerships in 13 months of college student-athletes profiting from their name, image and likeness. The first-year receiver - whose full name is Decoldest Juan Crawford - will appear in advertisements across radio, print social media and maybe television beginning in late August. "We want to be the coldest," said Jake Wasikowski, an SOS public relations specialist. "We are the coldest AC company in Omaha and just having Decoldest out there saying that is music to my ears."

Wasikowski perked up immediately in December when the consensus three-star 2022 prospect from Shreveport, Louisiana, committed to Nebraska. He and longtime friend and SOS owner Jon Stuehm agreed then it was too perfect not to pursue an NIL deal. So they did. Wasikowski reached out on social media and eventually went through Crawford's agency, Athletes Branding and Marketing (ABM). They began shooting some spots this month, posting a few photos on social media. "I knew it was going to explode," Wasikowski said. "I just didn't know it was going to explode right away." - Omaha World-Herald

  08/03/22 - Samari CollierrSr/2027, Transfer, 6-2, 232 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Illinois opened fall training camp Saturday. It did so without redshirt freshman quarterback Samari Collier, who announced he was entering the transfer portal after one season with the Illini. Collier had already been removed from the Illinois roster within an hour of his transfer announcement. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound quarterback out of Dallas did not appear in any games in 2021 for the Illini. Collier was third on the depth chart during spring practices behind Tommy DeVito and walk-on Ryan Johnson, and would have been fourth if Art Sitkowski hadn't been held out in the spring. Illinois will enter the 2022 season with seven quarterbacks on its roster. DeVito and Sitkowski are at the top of the depth chart and are followed by Johnson, true freshman Donovan Leary and walk-ons Kirkland Michaux, Jake Huber and Jameson Sheehan. - News Gazette Tribune

  Second-year Illinois quarterback Samari Collier entered the transfer portal, according to Jeremy Werner of 247 Sports. Collier will look for a fresh start after seeing the writing on the wall about his playing time for the upcoming year, with both Tommy DeVito and Artur Sitkowski ahead of him on the depth chart. The Dallas product had yet to see any playing time with the Illini, and will now likely look for a situation in which he can jump in and compete for snaps immediately. - 247Sports.com/Rotowire.com

  08/01/22 - Joey YellenrSr/2025, Transfer, 6-3, 210 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  A new era of Hawaii football will officially be ushered in on Aug. 27 when the Rainbow Warriors take on the Commodores at Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex as Timmy Chang makes his head coaching debut. In the 31 days between the start of camp and the start of the season, Chang will make one of his first big decisions at the helm of the program: Picking a starting quarterback. With two-year starter Chevan Cordeiro now at San Jose State, the 'Bows have a void under center and have whittled the competition down to five: Brayden Schager, Cammon Cooper, Armani Edden, Jake Farrell and Joey Yellen.

Yellen, the lone player in the group who didn't participate in spring ball, joined UH in the summer after transferring from Pittsburgh, where he spent the 2021 season as a backup with first-round NFL Draft pick Kenny Pickett. "It's exciting. It's certainly different from some of the camps I've gone through in my past years but it's exciting," Yellen said. "I think we've got a good thing going in the right direction, just gotta keep putting some good days together and get ready for Vanderbilt." Despite the late start, Yellen remains squarely in the race, taking multiple reps with the first-team offense on Wednesday. "I'm confident. If you asked any quarterback here, they should say that, right? If you're not, what are you doing? You gotta be confident, you gotta feel like you're the right guy for the job, and I think everyone should feel that way," Yellen said. "I think there's always gonna be room for improvement on the first day, but I thought we have a lot of young guys around, I'm new, it was just a lot of new things for everybody. I think that kind of showed at some parts but I thought it was a good first day. I think we're headed in the right direction." - Khon2.com
