04/24/22 - Myles Jackson, rSr/2025, Tulsa + More +

UCLA transfer Myles Jackson has impressed IU coaches this spring with his energy and playmaking ability. The 6-foot-2, 251-pound Jackson had six tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery in seven games at UCLA last season. Jackson could emerge as the edge rusher at the bull position. "He has a high attention to detail and a phenomenal rep-based (memory)," said IU special teams coach Kasey Teegardin, who will be coaching the husky and bull spots this season. "I tell him something one time and he is so locked in, so focused and so intense. He is such an intense individual in the way he attacks every drill, every meeting." - Herald Bulletin

12/20/21 - Josh Johnson, Sr/2022, Tulsa + More +

Davis Brin threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns, and Tulsa closed the season with its fourth straight victory, beating Old Dominion 30-17 at the Myrtle Beach Bowl on Monday. Josh Johnson had eight catches for 129 yards including a 23-yard reception as the Golden Hurricane (7-6) won their second straight bowl game and third in their last four appearances. As effective as Tulsa's offense was, its defense was just as good. It held the Monarchs (6-7) of Conference USA to 135 yards through the first three quarters.

Things started strongly for Old Dominion, which won its last five of the regular season to qualify for the bowl, when LaMareon James opened the game in historic fashion with a 100-yard kick return for a touchdown. It was the first such return on the opening kick in its 11 seasons of football. But the Monarchs struggled to find an attack as Tulsa of the American Athletic Conference took control. It took until the fourth quarter for Old Dominion to post an offensive touchdown on Blake Watson's 2-yard run. By then, Tulsa was up 30-17 and not about to surrender the lead. Shamari Brooks ran for 107 yards and a 1-yard touchdown, Tulsa's answer that came less than two minutes after Old Dominion's kick return score. - Tulsa/AP College Football

11/13/21 - Shamari Brooks, rSr/2022, Tulsa + More +

Shamari Brooks scored on a 15-yard run in overtime and Tulsa overcame four turnovers to defeat Tulane 20-13 on Saturday. The Golden Hurricane (4-6, 3-3 American Athletic Conference) held the Green Wave (1-9, 0-6) after the touchdown with Tyon Davis knocking down Michael Pratt's pass on fourth-and-10 from the 25. Brooks rushed 19 times for 71 yards. Davis Brin was 19 of 30 for 188 yards and a 10-yard touchdown pass to Ezra Naylor II in the first quarter but he was intercepted three times, which helped set up a wild finish.

Pratt connected with Phat Watts for a 49-yard touchdown to cap a 95-yard drive with 2:52 to play to pull the Green Wave within 13-10. Then Shi'ke Laister recovered an onside kick and Merek Glover's 23-yard field goal tied the game with 1:16 to play. Macon Clark then intercepted Brin and returned the ball 12 yards to the Tulsa 24 but Glover missed a 26-yard field goal wide right with 4 seconds remaining. Pratt threw for 178 yards and Tyjae Spears rushed for 104. - Tulsa/AP College Football

Shamari Brooks scored on a 3-yard run with 47-seconds to play, lifting Tulsa to a 32-31 win over South Florida on Saturday. The winning nine-play, 42-yard drive was set up when the defense stopped the Bulls twice, beginning with a third-and-1, giving the offense the ball with 4:20 to play. The winning drive include a six-yard pass completion on fourth-and-2 from the Tulsa 20. USF led 24-20 at the half on a 100-yard kickoff return by Brian Battie and a 69-yard interception return by Antonio Grier Jr. on the ensuing Tulsa possession. It was third 100-yard kick TD in school history and the third-longest interception return. Tulsa (3-4, 2-1 American Athletic Conference) rallied late in the second quarter with 10 points on three plays - a field goal, a fumble recovery on the kickoff and a 37-yard TD pass from Davis Brin to Sam Crawford Jr. South Florida had 535 yards of offense, the Bulls (1-5, 0-2) 268. Brooks ran for 145 yards on 23 carries and Deneric Prince 110 on 19 with a score. - Tulsa/AP College Football

Anthony Watkins ran for a 44-yard touchdown with 4:28 remaining to help Tulsa beat Memphis 35-29 on Saturday night. Bryson Powers intercepted a Seth Henigan pass with 1:17 left that sealed it for Tulsa (2-4, 1-1 American Athletic Conference). Davis Brin threw a pair of touchdown passes for the Golden Hurricane. Shamari Brooks ran for 126 yards and two touchdowns. Watkins finished with 68 yards rushing. Watkins burst up the middle, breaking three tackles and carrying a fourth defender across the goal line, capping a seven-play, 78-yard drive to give the Golden Hurricane a 35-21 lead.

But Memphis (3-3, 0-2) came right back with a 75-yard scoring drive. Calvin Austin III beat two defenders and was wide open at the 2 to catch a 30-yard touchdown pass from Henigan with 3:11 left. The Tigers made the 2-point conversion and then forced a three-and-out. Lachlan Wilson's 64-yard punt made the Tigers start their final drive from their 11-yard line. Hengian converted on fourth-and-11 with a pass to Austin to get the Tigers near midfield, but he was picked off on next play. Henigan, a true freshman, was 34-of-57 passing for 463 yards and threw two touchdown passes but two interceptions. Austin caught a career-high 13 passes and finished with 200 yards receiving. - AP College Football

08/24/21 - Tyon Davis, rSr/2023, Tulsa + More +

A prime candidate for the University of Tulsa's breakout player of the year: cornerback Tyon Davis. Amid the unexpected offseason departures of the previous starting corners, Davis has gone from overshadowed to potential star ahead of his senior year. "I'll say this, and I said it even when the other guys were here: In that room, he was the most athletic guy," coach Philip Montgomery said. "He just had some guys with experience ahead of him." With Akayleb Evans and Allie Green IV moving on to Missouri, a lack of experience at the cornerback position has been a significant concern. Davis, who appeared in 20 games in the past two years after transferring from NEO, is ready to contribute in a larger role like his coaches expect.

"I've always had that confidence (in myself), so now for me to be able to prove (the coaches) right - that's my plan," Davis said. "It's a big deal when your coaches believe in you." Davis bet on himself coming out of Putnam West, where he racked up 100 tackles and 11 interceptions as a two-year starter. Despite success on the field, he didn't land the type of recruiting he was after. "I had small Division II offers and I knew I had the talent," he said. "I just needed a chance, and I knew NEO would do that for me." A self-described late bloomer, Davis redshirted his first year at junior college and followed with 20 tackles and five pass breakups the following season. He has played cornerback since he was a kid. - Tulsa World

08/12/21 - Shamari Brooks, rSr/2022, Tulsa + More +

University of Tulsa running back Shamari Brooks is back on the practice field after a knee injury sidelined him for the 2020 season, but he is being held out of contact drills as a precaution. "We're just going to be smart with him," coach Philip Montgomery said. "We know what Shamari brings to the table...He's worked out all summer and he's done all the change-of-direction things, but when you get all those people on the field and you've got traffic around you, we just want to be smart. So we're going to use him when we can and kind of bring him back in a good pace without just doing it all." Asked whether Brooks is fully recovered, Montgomery said: "I know he feels good. He feels confident in his knee. That's the most important thing. And now it's just getting back into football-type shape when it comes to cutting and changing and seeing things and having to react." - Tulsa World

08/12/21 - Travon Fuller, rSr/2022, Tulsa + More +

Travon Fuller, a graduate transfer from Texas A&M, delivered a couple of pass breakups and an interception on the first day of practice and has continued to look solid. "We'll know more as we look at the tape, but I thought he flashed at times," Montgomery said after the first practice. "That's good to see." Fuller, who is from Athens, Texas, appeared in 43 games at Texas A&M and totaled 21 tackles. - Tulsa World
