10/16/20 - Jarrett Guarantano, rSr/2022, Washington State + More +

Fifth-year senior quarterback Jarrett Guarantano has taken every snap this season and ranks ninth in the SEC in quarterback efficiency. Guarantano excelled during the first half of Saturday's 44-21 loss to Georgia before losing two fumbles and throwing an interception in the second half. While Pruitt was not pleased with the turnovers, he said that Guarantano "is our quarterback" and "gives us the best opportunity to have success." - Knoxville News Sentinel

10/01/20 - Jarrett Guarantano, rSr/2022, Washington State + More +

Quarterback Jarrett Guarantano is back for another season and will make his third appearance against Missouri. If he can duplicate last year's success, the Tigers will be in trouble. Guarantano shredded Barry Odom's defense last fall in Columbia, throwing for 415 yards, the fourth-most passing yards by a Tennessee quarterback in team history, in a 24-20 victory. The redshirt senior ranks sixth in UT history for career completion percentage (60.9) and eighth in passing yards (5,321). In last week's win at South Carolina, Guarantano completed 19 of 31 passes for 259 yards and a touchdown. - Post-Dispatch

Jarrett Guarantano threw a tie-breaking touchdown to Josh Palmer with 9:35 left and No. 16 Tennessee won its seventh straight game with a 31-27 victory at South Carolina on Saturday night. The Vols appeared to have things in hand when they went ahead 21-7 on Eric Gray's 12-yard scoring run on their opening drive of the third quarter. But South Carolina rallied behind first-time starter quarterback Collin Hill with two touchdowns and a field goal the next four series to tie the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams at 24-all in the fourth quarter. That's when Guarantano, the fifth-year senior, struck with back-to-back big plays for the deciding score.

Guarantano was heavily pressured when he got the ball to an all-alone Brandon Johnson for 33 yards inside South Carolina territory. The next play, Guarantano threw a picture perfect pass to Palmer for a 32-yard touchdown. South Carolina looked like it had a final chance when it forced a Tennessee punt with 90 seconds left. But the punt touched the Gamecocks' Cam Smith after it hit the ground, Tennessee's Jimmy Holiday recovered and the Vols ran out the clock for the win. Guarantano finished 19 of 31 for 259 yards. He also rushed for Tennessee's first touchdown. - Tennessee/AP College Football

09/05/20 - John Bledsoe, rSr/2022, Washington State + More +

John Bledsoe, a walk-on quarterback at Washington State and the son of former Cougar great Drew Bledsoe, has entered the NCAA transfer portal, he announced on Twitter Thursday afternoon. "After a lot of thought and careful consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal," Bledsoe wrote. "I want to thank my teammates, Coach Rolo and Coach Stutz for their support. I will always love my time in Pullman and will forever be a Coug. Excited for the future!" Bledsoe never played in a game for the Cougars and was shelved for the entirety of the 2019 season, his redshirt sophomore year, with an undisclosed leg injury.

Despite his status as a walk-on, Bledsoe, at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, possessed plenty of physical tools and showed flashes of potential during the team's scrimmages, leading some to think he could've had a chance to compete to replace Anthony Gordon before the season was shuttered by COVID-19. In the offseason, Bledsoe has spent time working out with Will Hewlett of QB Collective, the same coach who trained Gordon prior to the 2020 NFL draft. Bledsoe, a native of Bend, Oregon, will have two more years of eligibility beginning next fall, but would presumably have to sit out one season if he elects to transfer to another FBS school. - Spokesman-Review

09/05/20 - Jarrett Guarantano, rSr/2022, Washington State + More +

Tennessee's quarterback race starts with Guarantano, a fact offensive coordinator Jim Chaney emphasized last week and Weinke echoed Wednesday. The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder from Lodi, New Jersey, had a rocky first half of last season but helped stabilize the Vols as they won their final six games to cap an 8-5 record. Guarantano enters this season with 34 career appearances and 25 career starts, having completed 391 of 642 passes (61.0%) for 5,062 yards with 32 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. His 2.02% career interception rate is the lowest in program history, and program history includes Peyton Manning.

"There is no doubt you see the confidence in Jarrett," Weinke said. "He had the opportunity to spend this offseason studying the offense and watching a lot of film. During this whole pandemic, and I've talked to him every single day, there wasn't a day when he wasn't doing something that would help get him better, whether he was working out or throwing. He came in here about 228 pounds and looked great, and we're trying to keep all that weight on him. "You see a different level of confidence in him because he has a better understanding of what exactly we're trying to get accomplished on every single play." Weinke added that Guarantano "becoming a functional thinker" and his anticipation are the biggest jumps he has performed in the past year. - Chattanooga Times Free Press

08/27/20 - Rodrick Fisher, rSo/2023, Washington State + More +

Rodrick Fisher, the one-time East Valley standout who started six games at wide receiver for Washington State last season, has entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal, Rivals.com reported Monday. On February 27, The Spokesman-Review learned the Spokane native had left the Cougars football program after a successful redshirt freshman season under Mike Leach. Fisher's reasons for leaving the program were unknown and the player's name hadn't resurfaced until Monday afternoon, when Rivals.com's Transfer Portal Twitter account reported he'd slipped his name into the database, suggesting he plans to continue his college football career, presumably somewhere other than WSU. A former two-sport star at East Valley, Fisher impressed WSU coaches during fall camp in 2019 and claimed the starting job at "X" receiver, beating out a more established player in Tay Martin, who recently announced his own transfer to Oklahoma State. - Spokesman-Review

08/06/20 - Pat Nunn, rJr/2023, Washington State + More +

Patrick Nunn isn't sure he'd be able to live with himself if the Washington State defensive back didn't do everything in his power to inspire change in what he and many of his Pac-12 Conference peers believe is a broken NCAA system. "I don't think I'd be able to go to sleep at night with peace knowing I didn't try to do something," Nunn said. "It's about being silent, and sometimes silence is betrayal. Some of us just have the moral obligation to try and get through."

That's why Nunn elected to do something that has become increasingly popular among Pac-12 football players - and admittedly unpopular in other circles - by formally opting out of the 2020 college football season, assuming there still is one this fall. Nunn, who played mostly as a nickel back for the Cougars last season and would've competed for a starting position after making two starts in 2019, becomes the second WSU player to formally opt out, joining wide receiver Kassidy Woods, who's also a redshirt sophomore. "My decision of opting out is because of everything that's going on that we mentioned," said Nunn, referencing a Sunday press release from the Pac-12's "We are United" group. "I'm not just doing this for myself, I'm doing this for the future of the NCAA as well." - Spokesman-Review
