What began as a promising 2025 Ohio State football season and morphed into an apparent historic one came crashing to earth with back-to-back losses and a suddently completely overmatched offensive line. Julian Sayin spent his second straight game spending more time looking at guys trying to sack him than his options downfield. The Buckeyes started […]
While Kentucky continues to digest the huge news of Kenny Minchey’s commitment at quarterback, another major development in the Wildcats’ transfer portal pursuit came from On3 insider Steve Wiltfong, who provided updated intel on two skill-position targets drawing heavy interest from UK. According to Wiltfong, Kentucky is in a strong position for big-time portal wide receiver DeAndre Moore […]
Canada won bronze.
Welcome to Tuesday, Bulldog fans! And not just any Tuesday, but the first of 2026 and the first without meaningful Bulldog football for many moons. So as we look back at what could have been, we reminisce about good ol’ days riding around in a black limousine, looking so fine, drinking and dancing. But those […]
Ohio State’s 2025-26 season has come to a close after an unfortunate short-lived run in the College Football Playoffs. The Buckeyes couldn’t get things going offensively, and lost to Miami following a round one bye. With the early end to the season, Ohio State’s offseason has an early beginning. This extra time could be crucial […]
Things have been relatively quiet in Ithaca...

Virginia Tech head coach James Franklin has been busy since the NCAA transfer portal opened on Friday. In addition to keeping some of the Hokies’ top players, Franklin has been busy hosting some of Tech’s top targets, including some of his former Penn State players. Early on, the Hokies have officially added a tight end, […]
Because we’re all transfer portal junkies, you’re aware Pete Golding, staff, and the Grove Collective were on a heater of heaters throughout Sunday and Monday. After a flood of commitments over the last 48 hours, things culminated late Monday night with the news Kewan Lacy reached an NIL agreement with Ole Miss for the 2026 […]
The Virginia Tech Hokies continue to remake their backfield. Tech received good news after the season when its top two backs, Marcellous Hawkins and freshman Jeff Overton Jr., announced they were returning in 2026. That led others in Tech’s backfield to enter the NCAA transfer portal. The Hokies added a commitment from 4-star running back […]
There never has been… or maybe never will be… an FCS championship game like the one that played out in Nashville on Monday evening. 60 minutes was not quite enough time needed to crown Montana State the champion but, thanks to a blocked PAT and a fourth down touchdown throw in overtime, the Bobcats took […]
We are heading into day five of the transfer portal, and Notre Dame still does not have a single commitment. We keep refreshing the twitter machine and snooping around, and it’s not just that there have been no commitments for Notre Dame — it’s that the players they have targeted keep cancelling visits to South […]
Earlier this season, Auburn’s defense held Missouri to just 17 points in regulation during an eventual 23-17 win for MU in double overtime. Now, a key piece of that defense will sign with Mizzou out of the transfer portal, according to a report from On3’s Hayes Fawcett. Robert Woodyard Jr. made 11 starts for Auburn […]
After Jacarrius Peak announced his decision to enter the portal on Sunday (I had been under the impression he was going to the Draft, but apparently not!), NC State quickly moved to fill that void with the addition of former ECU offensive tackle Jimarion McCrimon, who spent this season at left tackle. NC State also […]
That’s a big boost to the defense. Illinois safety Matthew Bailey announced Monday that he will return for the 2026 season. Bailey, who could have put his name in the NFL Draft, started all 12 games in 2025 but did not play in the Music City Bowl due to injury. He had 76 tackles and […]
After a disappointing and turnover-filled performance Monday in Lincoln, NE, Michigan State returned home to face USC, just one of just four Big Ten teams (including the B1G tournament) to have defeated the Spartans last year. It was the Izzone Alumni Night at the Breslin Center and the Spartans took the floor with Divine Ugochukwu […]
The Nittany Lions get on the board with a non-Iowa State transfer as they land former UCLA defensive tackle Keanu Williams following a visit to Happy Valley. Williams is a 6-foot-5, 320-pound (!) defensive tackle that spent his first two seasons at Oregon before transferring to UCLA in 2023, where Penn State defensive coordinator D’Anton […]
Kentucky Football has landed a big transfer portal prize at the quarterback position. Former Notre Dame signal-caller Kenny Minchey is set to join the Kentucky Wildcats for the 2026 season, flipping his commitment from Nebraska to UK in dramatic fashion. Minchey had briefly pledged to play for the Cornhuskers just a day prior — only to flip to Kentucky after the […]
It’s not every day that your program lands an all-conference caliber defensive back, but it seems to happen pretty dang often with Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. The latest testament to that is the addition of New Mexico State safety Naeten Mitchell, who committed to play in Boulder on Sunday evening. Mitchell spent three […]
Mizzou is working quickly to shore up positions of need in the transfer portal, adding its second commitment of the day on the first full week of the window. Caleb Goodie, the second-leading receiver for the Cincinnati Bearcats in 2025, committed to the Tigers on Monday, joining Jahlil Florence from Oregon in the Tigers’ newest […]
The Kentucky Wildcats have pulled off a shocking move to find their first quarterback of the Will Stein era, and it comes in the form of former Notre Dame signal-caller Kenny Minchey. Late Monday night, news broke that Minchey had signed with Kentucky after originally committing to the Nebraska Cornhuskers. This marks the first flip […]
The NCAA transfer portal played a huge roll in Arizona’s roster rebuild last season, and it paid off with a 9-4 record and a trip to the Holiday. The portal will again be where the Wildcats seek to fill immediate needs. On Monday night the UA landed its first portal pickup for 2026, one that […]
If you’re a fan of bad football, Colorado Buffaloes recruiting, lamps and beer steins, we’ve got the podcast for you! At long last, Ryland Scholes and Jack Barsch of Ralphie Report hop on the mic to give a post-mortem of the 2025 CU football season. After going 3-9, despite bringing in a talented roster and […]
Monday was a very busy but fruitful day for Lane Kiffin and staff as the Tigers added a trio of skill position players out of the transfer portal. Let’s go in chronological order. First up, LSU added running back Raycine Guillory who spent this past season with the Utah Utes. Depending on what recruiting service […]
We’re back with the injury report for Miami’s College Football Playoff Semifinal game against Ole Miss. Miami Head Coach Mario Cristobal was asked about injury updates during his standard weekly presser, held on Saturday this week, but didn’t really give anything concrete. That left the internet sleuths to screenshots from practice videos and rumors up […]
