Near the beginning of his opening statement at Southeastern Conference media days, Bryan Harsin brought up one of the most dramatic storylines of the college football offseason. "I know some of you out there looking at me didn't expect me to be here at this time," Harsin said Thursday. "I'm going to dive into that here in just a second, address the gorilla in the room." The animal was Harsin's questionable job security. One season into his tenure, drama engulfed the Auburn football team, leading to an internal investigation in February by university leadership. The probe lasted a week.

"There was an inquiry," Harsin said. "It was uncomfortable. It was unfounded. It presented an opportunity for people to personally attack me, my family, and also our program. And it didn't work." Harsin survived, letting him coach a second season this fall. He'll try to prove he can move the program in the right direction. In his first season after replacing Gus Malzahan, Auburn started 6-2 before losing its last five games. But more concerning than the 6-7 record - or perhaps a cause of the team's collapse and first losing season since 2012 - Auburn experienced a shocking amount of upheaval during the offseason. Harsin replaced multiple assistants, and his first choice for a new offensive coordinator left after a month with the team. Eighteen players transferred, according to AL.com. - Baton Rouge Advocate

TJ Finley, Texas A&M transfer Zac Calzada, Oregon transfer Robby Ashford, and freshman Holden Geriner will enter fall camp hoping to emerge as the Tigers quarterback for the season-opener on Labor Day against Mercer at Jordan-Hare. "I'm excited about it," Kiesau said. Sometimes it's like, 'Oh man, you got so many, guys.' That's a good thing because let's say you got three really good ones, if at the end of the day they're all competing against each other, well that guy's going, 'Whew, that guy behind me is pretty good; I better stay sharp or stay on my game and get completions.' It's going to help everybody out in that room because I believe competition brings out the best in any position, but it'll be more evident at the quarterback position." Finley is the most experienced in the room as an Auburn QB. He took over the reins as starting quarterback for Harsin when Bo Nix got injured during the comeback win at Jordan-Hare by Mississippi State.

At times Finley flashed the skills necessary to win in the Southeastern Conference. He also struggled with accuracy, and the Tigers lost contests against South Carolina, Alabama, and the bowl game against Houston with Finley as the starter. Finley is the most familiar with what Harsin wants to do on offense. He's ready for the competition. "Life is all about competition. When you think about it, life as a whole, you're always competing for a job, you know what I'm saying? Bringing those guys in only put fire in me to get better, which I needed, especially after the season like last year," Finley said. So, we're all supportive of each other, understand what's going on, and understand we're competing for one job, so may the best man win." - Birmingham News

The USC athletic department is taking its next step in the Name, Image and Likeness arms race across college athletics. On Wednesday, USC announced a new partnership with media company Stay Doubted to create a third-party agency that will provide NIL services to USC student-athletes who choose to opt in. The agency, BLVD LLC, will also operate as a media company for USC student-athletes. If one were to opt in, the agency will work to find NIL opportunities from sponsorships to events and merchandising. USC will not be a party to the agency agreements, nor will it receive any cut of revenue from NIL deals.

"We believe every student-athlete should have access to NIL support resources and currently only about 3% of our student-athletes have engaged professional service providers," USC athletic director Mike Bohn said in a statement. "We strive to support our student-athletes in all ways, including in the NIL space. We are thrilled to be able to meet this need and make these resources available through a qualified and reputable third party for our student-athletes should they wish to take advantage." BLVD LLC will officially launch later in the summer in advance of the fall sports season. - Orange County Register

06/08/22 - Valentino Ambrosio, rSr/2024, Tulane, 5-08, 174 (DS#21 K) + More +

Former Rutgers placekicker Valentino Ambrosio tweeted Monday he was transferring to Tulane, filling a gaping hole. Valentino, a senior who will be on scholarship, converted 21 of 27 field goals and 45 of 47 extra over the past two years for the Scarlet Knights after playing soccer at Fairleigh Dickinson and Rutgers the previous two seasons. Range is a question mark—his longest field goal was 42 yards—but the Green Wave lacked reliability from anywhere last fall and in spring practice. Merek Glover went 6 for 11 in his final year of eligibility, missing a 26-yard kick against Tulsa on the final play of regulation in a game the Wave lost in overtime. - Times Picayune

The Tulane football team has picked up a transfer portal addition and a high school commitment. Offensive lineman Prince Pines, a 6-foot-5, 340-pound Baton Rouge native (University and Tara High) who spent two years at Baylor and two at Sam Houston State, will join the Green Wave next fall as a graduate transfer He was an All-Southland Conference second-team selection and an all-Western Athletic Conference first-team pick in his two seasons at Sam Houston State. As a redshirt freshman at Baylor in 2019, he started the first four games at right guard and played the last 10 as a reserve. - New Orleans Times Picayune

Rutgers saw its starting kicker in each of the last two seasons enter the transfer portal this weekend. Valentino Ambrosio, who kicked in 18 games over the last two seasons for the Scarlet Knights, announced his intention to transfer out of the program in a social media post on Saturday night. Ambrosio began his college career as a soccer player at Fairleigh-Dickinson and Rutgers before walking onto the football team in 2020, Schiano's first season at the helm. He went 21 of 27 on field goal attempts and 45 of 47 on PATs in his subsequent 18 appearances for the Scarlet Knights. Some of his kicks were crucial, like a 39-yard field goal in the final seconds of regulation and a 42-yard field goal in overtime to lead Rutgers to a win over Maryland in 2020. Others were killer; Ambrosio missed a potential game-winning kick in a triple-overtime loss to Michigan in 2020. - NJ.com

USC will open its 2023 season a week earlier than the rest of college football after BYU backed out of a deal to play in November amid its transition to the Big 12. USC will now fill out its schedule with San Jose State instead, opening the second season of the Lincoln Riley era on Aug. 26, 2023, in a Week Zero matchup that should give the Trojans a stage largely to themselves. The Nov. 25, 2023, matchup with BYU was meant to be the third meeting of a series scheduled back in 2013. But an impending move to the Big 12 next summer changed those plans for BYU. It notified USC last year that it would no longer be able to play the game, leaving USC to find a new nonconference opponent. - Los Angeles Times

Considering the bond he already had with Caleb Williams, it should come as no surprise that Mario Williams seems several steps ahead when it comes to chemistry with USC's quarterback. A dynamic debut should solidify his place as USC's top receiver for the time being. Twice, Williams got loose in the red zone, sprinting free to reel in two touchdowns over the Trojans' first three drives. No one else in USC's receiver corps comes close to the quickness off the line that Williams offers. But Riley wasn't about to crown Williams just yet. "He's done some good things early in his career," Riley said, "but he's still got a long ways to go." - Los Angeles Times

04/24/22 - Duece Watts, rSr/2023, Tulane, 6-1, 196 (DS#54 WR) + More +

Quarterback Michael Pratt anticipates the leap forward everyone expected a season ago from Watts. "He's had a phenomenal spring," Pratt said after Watts scored on a 60-yard touchdown reception in the spring game. "This is the highest caliber football I've seen him play since he got here." Pratt pointed out how he and Watts developed a rapport two years ago working together every day as new arrivals in the spring semester. They lost that connection last season after both moved off campus in addition to the team spending a month in Birmingham, Alabama, because of Hurricane Ida's effects. Tulane's rough season was a rude awakening. "He and I have really gotten on the same page and clicked a lot better going into this year and this spring," Pratt said. "He's been working his butt off, and it's paid off." Watts agreed. "Spring went great," he said. "The team has a different mindset coming into this year." - New Orleans Times Picayune
