By all accounts, Kentucky football was poor this season. The team finished 4-8 — capping off this lost season with a 41-14 Governor’s Cup loss in Lexington to Louisville. This was supposed to be a year of hope. Major quarterback recruit Brock Vandegriff was brought in from the Georgia Bulldogs, as fans hoped he would have the same impact that former quarterback Will Levis once did. The team was coming off back-to-back seasons at 7-6 and looking like a strong roster in need of a passer. Flash forward 6 months, and Vandegriff has been benched. His replacement, true freshman Cutter Boley,…
The transfer portal news continues out of LSU where defensive end Da’Shawn Womack is the latest Tiger to hit the transfer portal. Womack was a five-star recruit in the class of 2023. Womack didn’t take long to enter the rotation as a true freshman. He finished with eight pressures and two sacks in 79 snaps last year. In 2024, Womack took a step forward but didn’t start with Bradyn Swinson and Sai’Vion Jones holding down the starting edge spots. Womack totaled 13 pressures and two sacks in 100 snaps this year. Womack’s talent is undeniable. When he’s on the field,…
A second LSU offensive player is expected to enter the transfer portal upon its opening on December 9. 247Sports is reporting that wide receiver Landon Ibieta will be searching for a new school following the conclusion of the 2024 regular season. The redshirt sophomore dealt with injuries during his time in Baton Rouge, which led to limited playing time. Ibieta made two appearances in three seasons with the Tigers. One of the appearances came in the 2022 Citrus Bowl against Purdue where he made two catches for 15 yards. He saw the field once this year in a 34-10 win…
Alabama is one of several teams still in consideration to make the College Football Playoff now that the regular season is over. ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum believes the Crimson Tide should be in the CFP when the bracket is revealed on Sunday. According to Finebaum, Alabama should make the College Football Playoff for several reasons, with one of those being its brand. If I’m giving this committee credit and belief, which I’ll decide next Sunday whether I do or not – so far I’m all over the map. I think they’ll look at Alabama, and will the brand…
Tom Brady is living an NFL double life. The seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback kicked off an historic deal to be the top NFL analyst for Fox Sports this season, while his agreement to purchase a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders was approved in October. That arrangement led the NFL to put limitations in place on what Brady can do as a broadcaster. Brady cannot be overly critical of players (a line he may have crossed on Thanksgiving) or referees, participate in interviews with coaches or players during the week, or visit opposing teams’ facilities. In a new…
College football is 24/7/365 and that is true for the ever-changing coaching staffs that programs across the sport see. To keep up with the trends and innovation, head coaches are always looking for the next young hire to help ascend their offense to the next level. The Oklahoma Sooners are hoping they have struck that with their newest hire. The Sooners are finalizing a three-year deal to bring Ben Arbuckle in as their new offensive coordinator and lure him from Washington State, as reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Ben Arbuckle came into the spotlight this past season when the Washington…
Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson has confessed that his mom “cussed him out”as she felt her son could have run the ball more as his team fell to defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles. The MVP quarterback’s team fell to a 24-19 loss on Sunday, with his talents largely contained by the eventual victors at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens are now playing catch-up with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the race for the AFC North title – with their record standing at 8-5 for the season so far. During the encounter, Jackson rushed eight times for 79 yards, with that figure…
The Alabama Crimson Tide find themselves on the outside looking in of the College Football Playoff picture after last week’s 24–3 upset loss to Oklahoma. At No. 13 in this week’s CFP rankings, the Crimson Tide likely need a statement win over rival Auburn in today’s Iron Bowl, and likely need some help on top of it as well. Auburn has been disappointing this season at 5–6, with a 2–5 record in SEC play. The Tigers may be peaking at the right time, however, as they upset Texas A&M last week 43–41. During Saturday’s edition of College GameDay, ESPN’s Lee…
The NCAA Transfer Portal has added a ton of craziness to college football over the past few years. That includes moves that one might not have thought were possible in previous ages of the sport. Don’t believe me? Just check out Florida State’s most recent offer on the recruiting trail. On Sunday evening, FAU running back transfer CJ Campbell Jr. announced that he has been offered a scholarship by the Seminoles. If the name is familiar, it’s because Campbell began his college career at Florida State in 2021 as a walk-on. Campbell transferred to Florida Atlantic following the 2023 season.…
