  Sophomore quarterback Hank Bachmeier was named to the Davey O'Brien Award Preseason Watch List, the Davey O'Brien Award Foundation announced Tuesday. The award honors the top collegiate quarterback in the country, and Tuesday's watch list comprises 30 individuals from all over the nation. Bachmeier is one of two candidates out of the Mountain West, along with Air Force's Donald Hammond III. Bachmeier garnered attention right from the start in 2019, becoming the first Bronco true freshman to start a season opener at quarterback in Boise State's FBS Era (1996-present) when he took the reins last Aug. 31 at Florida State.

In front of a hostile crowd in Tallahassee, and before a national television audience, Bachmeier put together a stunning debut in which he went 30-for-51 for 407 yards and a touchdown in Boise State's 36-31 victory over the Seminoles. The Murrieta, Calif., native would start all eight games in which he appeared, despite missing six due to injury. Bachmeier finished the season 7-1 as a starter, throwing for 1,879 yards and nine touchdowns while rushing for another score, and had multiple scoring tosses in three of his eight games. - Idaho Statesman

  A former Wake Forest receiver will make history as the first black man to be featured as the lead for the TV show "The Bachelor." Matt James was named the franchise's star Friday morning. The show's 25th season will air in 2021 after the latest version of "The Bachelorette" airs this fall - it's been delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. James was a teammate and is friends with Tyler Cameron, a former Wake Forest football player who was runner-up on "The Bachelorette" last year. He spent time with Cameron and Hannah Brown, who was "The Bachelorette," during quarantine in the past few months. James was Wake Forest's third-leading receiver in his final season, which was 2014. He had 40 catches for 401 yards. He came to Wake Forest from Raleigh, a 2010 graduate of Sanderson High School. - Winston Salem Journal

  "I know Jamie understands that he's playing at a higher level," said Anthony Timmons who coached Newman at Graham High School. "He's playing against more NFL caliber players for the opposition...This is going to be a challenge for him, but at the same time Jamie always rises to the occasion of challenges." Timmons described Newman while in high school as being able to stay calm under pressure and doesn't think that will change going from Wake Forest to a Georgia team that is now a perennial playoff contender. "I think he'll be even more calm," Timmons said. "Being this is his fifth-year in college, he's kind of that seasoned veteran. He's been in some hostile environments; he's played in some hostile games."

Newman became a starter after a few games into his freshman season and threw for 2,034 yards and 13 touchdowns while rushing for 750 yards and 12 touchdowns as a sophomore. He passed for 32 more touchdowns in his final two high school seasons while rushing for 17 more. Newman drew comparisons back then to Cam Newton, a player who Timmons looked up to and who starred in the state for the NFL's Carolina Panthers. "To me he's more of like a Donovan McNabb type guy," Timmons said. "His time at Syracuse and his time at the Eagles, he wasn't a 4.4 guy but he was able to run, he was able to move people, he was a stronger runner but could also throw but was a competitor and was tough." - Athens Daily Banner

  Newman was a star at Wake Forest in the ACC, now he takes that show to the big stage at Georgia and the SEC. Newman threw for 2,868 yards and 26 touchdowns last year while also running for 574 yards and six touchdowns. While the competition level certainly gets elevated from the ACC to SEC, the talent he has around him makes the bigger leap going from Wake Forest to Georgia. The biggest concern is that his biggest passing games last season came against Elon, Utah State, Rice, NC State and Duke. Against Clemson, he was 6-for-14 for 41 yards and two interceptions. Newman needs to prove he can execute against the elite teams. - Opelika-Auburn News

  The cancellation of Wake Forest's spring football practices and shutdown of campus put Sage Surratt back in high school, at least in one sense. Surratt has spent a lot of time in Chapel Hill for the past couple of months, staying with his brother Chazz, a linebacker at North Carolina. Both Surratts were named to the All-ACC first-team last year - Sage at wide receiver, Chazz at linebacker. And so the Surratt brothers have gone back to pushing each other through workouts. "Just working out with him and getting better every day with him. Pushing each other, he pushes me, I push him," Sage said last month. "It's kinda like old times, I guess you could say."

Sage is coming off a season in which he had 66 catches for 1,001 yards and 11 touchdowns in only nine games. A shoulder injury in the fourth quarter at Virginia Tech cut his season short, and it's an injury from which he hasn't fully recovered. "I'm close though, I'm a lot better obviously than the last time y'all saw me," he said. Because the COVID-19 pandemic has seemingly affected all areas of everyday life, especially sports, it's played a factor in delaying Sage's rehab. "It was a little wrench. I had actually gotten back to school to do rehab after spring break. And I was there until everything got shut down completely," Sage said. "You've just gotta make the most of it. But our training staff, they've done an extremely good job of keeping everybody updated and working through this." - Winston Salem Journal

  The NCAA Division I Council on Friday announced that it was delaying a vote on a potential one-time exemption for Division I transfers until 2021. In February, the NCAA Division I Council's Transfer Waiver Working Group announced it was considering the proposal, with the goal of adopting new legislation in time for the 2020-21 academic year. Student-athletes in football, men's and women's basketball, baseball and hockey would join their brethren in other sports and be able to transfer from one school to another without sitting out a year, provided they meet certain criteria.

The vote had been scheduled to take place this spring, but has been delayed until January due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Division I Council will consider whether to allow a one-time transfer waiver for student-athletes in all sports early next year. In addition, the Council voted to allow graduate transfers to work on a second undergraduate degree at their second school. Previously, graduate transfers had been required to enroll in graduate school. - Birmingham News

  Despite the cancellation of spring sports in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus, Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson said Monday that programs in the conference will be fine for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends June 30. But if there's no football, he said the story changes dramatically. "If there's no college football this fall, there's very little likelihood there will be any other sports because 85% of revenue derived in college athletics comes from the sport of football," Thompson said in a video interview released by the Mountain West.

In 2018-19, Boise State football generated almost half of the $50,599,483 collected by the entire athletic department. Thompson hinted that Mountain West media days may be held in a virtual format in July, but he said the date could get pushed back depending on when, or if, football season begins. He also said scheduling is going to be a challenge, as Group of Five conferences compete with the obligations CBS and Fox already have to the NFL and Power Five college football games. "There's a lot of games that might be in a very condensed fall, if we're playing football in the fall," he said. The latest College Football Playoff budget was approved this week, according to Thompson, and it took a 16-20% cut. - Idaho Statesman

  2020 NFL COMBINE INVITE: Justin Strnad, OLB, Wake Forest,...The Demon Deacons have now sent multiple players to the combine for the past three events, one of just five ACC schools to do so. All three Deac representatives have been key pieces in Wake Forest's four-consecutive bowl seasons. After a 105-tackle season as a junior, Strnad was on pace to crack the century mark again in 2019 with 69 tackles and 5.5 tackles for loss through seven games before his season was cut short. - Wake Forest Football

  Todd Monken, the former offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is Kirby Smart's choice to lead Georgia's offense. Monken, 53, was named on Friday to replace James Coley as the Bulldogs' offensive coordinator. Coley will remain on staff as assistant head coach. The change came after a talented offense, led by quarterback Jake Fromm, running back D'Andre Swift and a deep offensive line, finished only fifth in the Southeastern Conference with 30.79 points per game. Georgia ranked only 72nd in the nation in passing.

Georgia (12-2) missed the college football playoff after it was overwhelmed by eventual national champion LSU 37-10 in the SEC championship game. The Bulldogs finished with a 26-14 win over Baylor in the Sugar Bowl. Monken was Cleveland's offensive coordinator in 2019, though former coach Freddie Kitchens called the plays. Kitchens was fired after one season and Monken was not retained by new coach Kevin Stefanski. - AP College Football

  With Jake Fromm heading to the NFL, quarterback Jamie Newman announced Saturday he will transfer to Georgia from Wake Forest for his final college season. Newman is coming off his first full year as the Demon Deacons' starter. He completed 60.9% of his passes for 2,868 yards, with 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He also rushed for 574 yards and six TDs. Wake Forest finished 8-5, losing to Michigan State in the Pinstripe Bowl.

Newman took over as the starter for the final four games of the 2018 season after Sam Hartman went down with a broken leg. He led the Demon Deacons to a 3-1 record. "After careful consideration, and guidance from my family, I have decided to enroll at Georgia as a graduate transfer," Newman wrote on Twitter. "I am excited about joining such a great football program." Newman gives Georgia a quarterback with significant college experience. Former walk-on Stetson Bennett, who was Fromm's backup in 2019, played just four games in a mop-up role. "I am ready to get to work, ready to make new friendships and committed to contributing to this great program," Newman said. "This journey will surely be one that I never ever forget." - AP College Football

  Wake Forest says starting quarterback Jamie Newman plans to play elsewhere next season as a graduate transfer. The school announced Newman's unexpected move Tuesday, saying the redshirt junior had entered his name into the transfer portal. Newman recently earned his degree, with coach Dave Clawson saying in a statement that Newman had notified him of his plans and that he wishes Newman well at his next stop. In a statement on social media, Newman said his decision was based on wanting to "develop further and my desire to stretch myself and prepare for the next level."

Newman threw for 2,868 yards and 26 touchdowns with 11 interceptions for the eight-win Demon Deacons, who lost to Michigan State in the Pinstripe Bowl on Friday. He was also a physical runner with his 6-foot-4, 230-pound frame, running for 574 yards and another six scores. Wake Forest returns four players at quarterback next fall, headlined by Sam Hartman. Hartman started nine games as a freshman in 2018 but appeared in only four games this year and still has three years of eligibility remaining. - AP College Football
