  04/06/21 - Kobe Pace, rSr/2025, Virginia, 5-10, 205 (DS#81 RB) + More +

  Clemson's rotation at running back has been one of the biggest question marks this spring. Lyn-J Dixon appears he will get the first crack at replacing Travis Etienne, who will be drafted into the pros later this month. Dixon played for the White team and rushed four times for 25 yards. But Saturday's game let the coaches and fans see other guys get a shot, including Kobe Pace and freshmen Will Shipley and Phil Mafah. Pace shined early and rushed for 69 yards, most of that coming on the opening drive. Mafah scored a TD late in the game and finished with 38 yards. Shipley rushed for 13, caught a pass and also played on special teams.

Swinney on the TV broadcast said that Shipley and Mafah have a chance to be similar to the "thunder and lighting" duo the Tigers had with James Davis and CJ Spiller years ago. Swinney said Shipley, who played at Weddington High in North Carolina, is ahead of where Travis Etienne was at this point in his freshman year. "He's better than advertised," Swinney said. "He's going to be a great one. He's going to be a great player. He's incredibly dynamic. He can return, he can catch and he's physically way ahead for a high school kid." - The State

  04/03/21 - Chris Tyree, rSr/2025, Virginia, 5-09, 192 (DS#66 WR) + More +

  Chris Tyree said the sentence so matter-of-factly, the boldness didn't resonate at first. "I think we all understand that good things happen when the ball is in my hands," he said. The Notre Dame running back didn't deliver the line with a smile or grin from the other end of a Zoom press conference with reporters following Saturday's first spring football practice. A little less than three months removed from his freshman season, Tyree flatly expressed his expectations for making a bigger impact in 2021. "Being able to expand that and getting me opportunities to give me the ball is the goal for right now," Tyree said.

The 5-foot-10, 188-pound Tyree established himself as the No. 2 running back in his freshman campaign with the Irish. He showed flashes of his potential while totaling 73 carries for 496 yards and four touchdowns as the backup to ACC Rookie of the Year Kyren Williams. "Coming into the season, I really had no idea what to expect," Tyree said. "I knew that whatever my role was I was going to play that and do it to the best of my ability. When it comes to my expectations, I'm pretty happy with what I did." - Indianapolis Star News

  03/25/21 - Shane Simpson, rSr/2021, Virginia, 5-08, 198 (DS#42 RB) + More +

  For every rep performed by former Virginia running back Shane Simpson on the bench press at the Cavaliers' Pro Day on Wednesday, he won't just be helping his NFL Draft stock, he'll be helping those battling rare diseases. The Towson transfer turned Virginia tailback joined forces with Uplifting Athletes ahead of his Pro Day. He's participating in the 2021 Reps for Rare Diseases campaign. Supporters can pledge a donation based on how many bench press reps Simpson records at Pro Day, and all proceeds will go to Uplifting Athletes, a charitable organization that raises money for rare disease research and awareness. Simpson learned of the organization this offseason and felt it would be a good one to support on Pro Day. "I wanted to do something that was bigger than myself and bigger than football," Simpson said. "Trying to give back in some way." - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  03/25/21 - Chandler Morris, rSr/2026, Virginia, 6-0, 192 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Former Oklahoma quarterback Chandler Morris transferred to TCU following his freshman season but has yet to be released by OU. TCU head coach Gary Patterson was asked of Morris' status earlier this week, which currently won't allow him to be eligible for the 2021 season. OU coach Lincoln Riley addressed his program's decision, which he noted had nothing specifically to do with Morris but rather a view his staff holds when players transfers to other Big 12 schools. "This particular situation for us is about something that we believe in," Riley said. "Myself, the leadership here at OU, we think it's unhealthy for college football to encourage intraconference transfers."

Riley said he isn't against student-athletes transferring to programs outside of their current conference and becoming eligible right away. He noted the Sooners immediately released freshman tight end Jalin Conyers, who transferred to Arizona State this offseason. "I do think the intraconference can complicate things and the world of coaches understand the big picture and understand that's gonna bring along a lot of negatives that I just don't know that we want in this game," Riley said. - Norman Transcript

  03/25/21 - Chandler Morris, rSr/2026, Virginia, 6-0, 192 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Oklahoma has not released former quarterback Chandler Morris from his national letter of intent. Morris entered the NCAA's transfer portal after spending his true freshman season with the Sooners in 2020 and opted to join the Frogs a few days later. At the time, nobody knew if Morris would be eligible to play this fall. That hasn't changed in two-plus months since he arrived in Fort Worth. "We don't know yet on Chandler," Patterson said on Monday. "It looks like rules are going to change here real quickly. He still hasn't been released by Oklahoma." There's multiple steps in the process for Morris to gain eligibility next fall, starting with OU releasing Morris from his national letter of intent because Morris is in his first year. If the Sooners do that, then TCU can pursue an immediate eligibility waiver for Morris from the NCAA. The caveat to the waiver is whether the NCAA will adopt a policy allowing one-time transfers. If it does, TCU and Morris would not need to go through the waiver process. - Fort Worth Star

  01/12/21 - Jacob Finn, rSr/2022, Virginia, 6-4, 205 (DS#16 P) + More +

  Florida punter Jacob Finn will play his final year of eligibility elsewhere. The redshirt senior, who was placed on scholarship prior to the 2020 season, has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Finn took over for Tommy Townsend as the starter and averaged 46.3 yards per punt on 26 attempts, including a long of 67. Finn, who joined the team as a walk-on in the summer of 2016, is taking advantage of the NCAA's extra year for all fall sport athletes due to COVID-19. - Gainesville Sun

  TCU football added some competition and depth to its quarterback room on Sunday. Oklahoma transfer Chandler Morris announced his intentions to join TCU in a social media post. Morris is the son of former SMU and Arkansas coach Chad Morris. It's to be determined if Morris will be eligible to play next fall. There's multiple steps in the process that will make that determination, starting with Oklahoma releasing Morris from his national letter of intent because Morris is in his first year. The NCAA is also scheduled to vote on whether to allow one-time transfers on Jan. 11 and, after that, the Big 12 will decide on how to handle intra-conference transfers. - Fort Worth Star-Telegram
