Charles Williams rushed for a career-high 266 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead UNLV to a 27-13 win over Hawaii on Saturday. Williams, already UNLV's career rushing leader, had a school-record 38 carries and rushed for 200 yards for the second time in his career.

In the process, he passed Boise State's Jay Ajayi to move into fourth place on the Mountain West Conference career rushing list with 4,035 yards. He has rushed for 32 career touchdowns, including a personal-best 13 this season.

Williams' 7-yard score gave the Rebels a 17-10 lead early in the second half. Matthew Shipley's 43-yard field goal got the Rainbow Warriors within 20-13 early in the fourth quarter before Williams added his final touchdown on a 47-yard run with under two minutes to go. UNLV outgained Hawaii 465-240. Ricky Johnson had two interceptions for UNLV (2-8, 2-4), which won its second straight game. Daniel Gutierrez kicked two field goals.

Donavyn Lester rushed for 99 of William & Mary's 339 yards on the ground, scoring three touchdowns along the way, and the Tribe breezed to a 40-14 victory over Towson in Colonial Athletic Association play on Saturday. Bronson Yoder capped William & Mary's first possession with a 47-yard TD run for a 7-0 lead. Towson answered on its first possession, knotting the score on Chris Ferguson's 42-yard scoring strike to Caleb Smith. The Tribe (5-2, 3-1) needed just one play - Darius Wilson's 65-yard TD pass to Zach Burdick - to retake the lead for good. Lester's first TD run was a 21-yarder with 5:53 left in the first quarter for a 21-7 advantage.

William & Mary's Ethan Chang sandwiched two field goals around a 1-yard TD run by Towson's Devin Matthews in the second quarter and the Tribe led 27-14 at halftime. Lester accounted for the only scoring of the second half with TD runs of 12 yards in the third quarter and a 1-yarder in the fourth. Wilson completed 7 of 12 passes for 164 yards with one interception. Lester did his damage on just 13 carries, while Yoder finished with 82 yards on 10 totes. William & Mary ran the ball 49 times, averaging 6.9 yards per carry. Ferguson was 9-of-20 passing for 125 yards with three interceptions for the Tigers (3-4, 2-2). Backup QB Jeff Miller completed 12 of 17 passes for 123 yards with one pick. Smith finished with six catches for 86 yards. - AP College Football

09/02/21 - LaDarrius Bishop, rSr/2025, UNLV, 6-0, 183 (DS#999 CB) + More +

Arkansas cornerbacks coach Sam Carter often tells LaDarrius Bishop he is the fastest player on any field. That speed and athleticism is likely to be front and center Saturday in the Razorbacks' season opener against Rice. Bishop, a former 4-star recruit, is listed as a starter at cornerback opposite veteran Montaric Brown, his cousin and former Ashdown High School teammate. Arkansas' Week 1 depth chart is not yet finalized. Second-year coach Sam Pittman said Monday that it will be nailed down following Wednesday's practice. But Bishop being listed with the first-team defense to begin the week indicates he won a training camp position battle with Hudson Clark, the former walk-on who took college football by storm after a three-interception game against Ole Miss last season.

"He's fast, he's long, he's the perfect size and speed for a corner," Pittman said of Bishop. "I don't know how he beat him out, he just played well. What we did, to be honest with you, we quit moving him to left corner, right corner. We moved him all the time trying to find that place for him. "We kept him at one spot over there on one side and it seemed to help him." Bishop, a redshirt junior, played in all 10 games last season and made his fourth career start in Arkansas' season finale against Alabama. Pittman and the Razorbacks' staff were impressed with his play. - Northwest Arkansas Times

08/26/21 - Ricky White III, rSr/2025, UNLV, 6-1, 184 (DS#23 WR) + More +

The star of Michigan State football's biggest win last season is not currently with the team. Coach Mel Tucker on Tuesday said redshirt freshman Ricky White and freshman defensive back Michael Gravely "are not participating in team activities at this point." Tucker did not elaborate on why. While both players remain on the roster, neither was on the field at Monday night's "Meet the Spartans" event and have not been spotted during open portions of preseason camp or during the April 24 open spring practice. White, a 6-foot-1 and 185-pound wide receiver, played 166 snaps in four games with three starts last season, finishing with 10 catches for 223 yards and a touchdown. Eight of his catches went for a first down or a TD. - Lansing State Journal

Justin Flowe, one of three five-star recruits from the 2020 recruiting class, along with Sewell and cornerback Dontae Manning, is the favorite to replace Slade-Matautia after playing well in the spring game. "I just have a motor. I want to make every play," Flowe said. "That's how I always feel playing football. I just want to be that animal on the field." Flowe missed six games last season with a torn meniscus, a knee injury that required surgery. "I think the lowest moment for me was having surgery for the first time. It was really an eye-opener for me,"

Flowe said of the lost 2020 campaign. "It made me even more humble and just wanting to work on everything I've got to do to be the best player I can be. "That was the first injury I ever had, but I didn't let it hold me back. I just told myself it's just a bump in the road to glory." Flowe, the second-highest rated recruit to ever sign with Oregon behind Thibodeaux, is ready to start living up to the billing. "I feel like this opportunity I've got is the biggest and I just want to take advantage of it," Flowe said. "Isaac Slade was a really great linebacker. He was a vet, so he just showed me the way. I'm going to do what I can do to help the team." - Register Guard

08/11/21 - Hajj-Malik Williams, rSr/2025, UNLV, 6-0, 205 (DS#22 QB) + More +

The Camels opted to play an abbreviated four-game schedule in the fall of 2020, and all four contests were against FBS competition. Campbell faced off against Georgia Southern, Coastal Carolina, Appalachian State and Wake Forest in a 21-day span, an experience Minter called a "whirlwind." While Campbell lost all four games, Minter was ecstatic to get his players the experience of playing FBS competition. The Camels had never stepped onto the same field as a Power Five opponent, which they did against the Demon Deacons, and the regional Group of Five opponents allowed Minter to help accelerate the growth of a team still in the infant stages of being a scholarship program.

Quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams took a step forward with 662 passing yards, 216 rushing yards and seven total touchdowns (three passing, four rushing). He did all of that without the services of wide receiver Caleb Snead (Heritage High), who did not play in 2020. Williams did have the No. 2 play on SportsCenter's Top 10 the night of the game against Wake Forest when the Camels completed a double pass that led to Williams scoring an easy touchdown. It was one of the several gadget plays Campbell uses with Williams to get him in the open space. - Lynchburg News and Advance

08/08/21 - Charles Williams, rSr/2022, UNLV, 5-10, 200 (DS#40 RB) + More +

The demands of being a football player at UNLV and a young father collided on Tuesday for senior running back Charles Williams. It meant he couldn't accompany his four-month-old daughter, Kamiyah, to her doctor's appointment. She was due for a round of booster shots and Williams didn't want to miss out on the milestone. So when he finally had his first break of the day, he FaceTimed his girlfriend, Mika, with the hope of comforting his baby girl: "Hey, you're going to be OK. … These shots are going to go well," he told her. "That was something to me like 'Yeah, this dude gets it,'" said David Wedley, who works with the football team as a director of student-athlete academic services. "He understands. He's mature. It's the final stamp of approval for this young man and what everybody thinks of him."

Williams is back at UNLV for his sixth and final season as one of the most productive players in school history. He's the program's first academic All-American. He'll juggle graduate courses this fall with his family and football as he approaches the school's career rushing record. Duties befit for one of the program's leaders "He's mature. He's got a good voice in the locker room...Those are culture things that are going to resonate," said Rebels coach Marcus Arroyo. "I'm excited to see him healthy in our system." - Las Vegas Review Journal
