Petit larceny charge dropped against 4-star South Carolina signee
According to the Island Packet, Shelton said the misdemeanor charge against Blackshear was not severe enough to force the alleged victim to testify.
Blackshear, a four-star defensive end, was accused of stealing a purse and safe from a house on Feb. 7. The total value of the stolen items was $1,390, according to the incident report.
Blackshear, who told police he was never at the house, was arrested at his high school on Feb. 13 and charged less than a week after signing with the Gamecocks on National Signing Day. Blackshear’s attorney, Thomas C. Taylor, said that there was a lack of physical evidence and that the witnesses’ statements changed. He also was critical of Bluffton police for the manner in which Blackshear was arrested.
“They chose to drag him out of the school in handcuffs in front of his friends and classmates, when he would have been glad to come down and meet police,” Taylor said according to Bluffton Today. “It was unconscionable. Shameik is a fine young man with a great family who has done a lot to make Bluffton proud.”
Blackshear is now set to arrive at South Carolina on May 30, Taylor said, and the arrest will be expunged from his record.
“From what we understand, he was innocent all the way,” head coach Steve Spurrier said, per The State. “Unless something comes up differently. We had heard that they would drop the charges. As far as I know, he is clear to come with the rest of the team. He was falsely accused.”
The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Blackshear, who was rated as the fifth-best player from South Carolina in the 2015 class, tore his ACL in the second game of his senior season. Taylor said his knee will be tested by South Carolina’s team doctors when he arrives on campus.

Mack Brown is traveling the world on behalf of Texas.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, the former Longhorns coach is in Dubai to "meant to explore future possibilities for Texas athletics." While he's an ESPN analyst, he is also in a special capacity for the university.

Good morning. It's Tuesday, 8:24 here in Dubai. 14 1/2 hour flight from Houston http://ift.tt/1DyLT56
— Mack Brown (@ESPN_CoachMack) April 21, 2015
If a Texas football game was to be played in Dubai, we're going to go out on a limb and guess it would be played in a climate-controlled stadium, especially if it was early in the season. Temperatures average close to 100 degrees in September in October. While November is cooler, it's still warm by many people's standards (88 degrees). If the World Cup wasn't going to be played outdoors in the hot months in Qatar, it's hard to believe that Texas football would either.
Of course, we're also going to guess that a game in Dubai isn't a possibility in the foreseeable future. The Mexico City game seems much more feasible and it could serve as a good experiment for other games around the globe.

The Bears had an 11-1 regular season record and boasted wins over teams like TCU and Kansas State, but were edged out by eventual champion Ohio State for the fourth and final spot. Briles was asked Tuesday if his team’s lackluster non-conference slate hindered his team’s chances of earning a playoff spot. He was emphatic with his answer.
Art Briles asked about his non-conf. scheduling philosophy. Said non-conf schedule had “zero effect” on Baylor getting left out last season
— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) April 21, 2015
To recap, the Bears’ non-conference schedule included wins over one-win SMU, FCS Northwestern State, and 5-6 Buffalo. The Bears won those games by a combined score of 178-27.
To say that that cakewalk had “zero effect” on his team’s end-of-season resume just isn’t true. Sure, Briles would more-than-likely point to his team’s 41-27 loss to West Virginia in October as a bigger reason, but the non-conference games certainly didn’t help matters.

Nebraska CB Boaz Joseph cited for marijuana possession
According to the Lincoln Journal Star, police found “3.3 grams of marijuana” and a grinder in his apartment. The 21-year-old Joseph and two others were cited after officers “executed a search warrant in a fraud investigation,” said assistant Police Chief Charlotte Evans.
Evans told the Journal Star someone used a stolen credit card to ship speakers to the apartment and police were searching for “credit card and shipping information.” Joseph’s roommate, 21-year-old Deandre Pippens, was arrested in connection with the fraud case. Pippens, who is not a Nebraska student, was also cited for marijuana possession and having a digital scale.
A third roommate, former Huskers defensive back Ishmail Jackson, was also cited for possession of drug paraphernalia.
Joseph, a redshirt sophomore from Weston, Fla., played in five games as a redshirt freshman for the Huskers in 2014 and registered one tackle. He’ll have to pay fines for his two citations.
In response to the incident, Nebraska said in a statement that coach Mike Riley and the athletics administration “are aware of incident” and “have no additional comment at this time.”
Joseph was previously cited for theft for stealing a “bait bike” last June. Joseph completed a pre-trial diversion program and the case was eventually dismissed in December.

New MSU assistant Mark Snyder says Spartans, Buckeyes have 'SEC speed'
“That speed is real, trust me,” Snyder said Monday on Lansing 92.1 FM, per Mlive.com. “But we are right there with them, no doubt. I was here for pro day and had a chance to see the guys run, and the myth of the Big Ten versus the SEC (in terms of speed), I don’t see that here, and the little bit of Ohio State film I’ve seen, I don’t see it there. We have that type of speed in this program.”
Two former Michigan State players – running back Jeremy Langford (4.42) and cornerback Trae Waynes (4.31) – ran the fastest 40-yard dash among their respective position group at the NFL combine. That alone backs up Snyder’s statements about his new team.
Snyder's transition to Michigan State is still ongoing. He said he’s still learning the ways of the program and establishing relationships with the players on a daily basis. He’s been impressed with what he’s seen from the Spartans thus far.
“I think the team is oozing with confidence right now, to be honest with you,” Snyder said. “Our kids know they are good, they know they are well-coached, they know they can run with anybody in the country, they are not going to get out-hit or out-toughed.
“We have a group of guys that really love football, and I’ve been very impressed with that.”
The Spartans haven’t even played their spring game yet, but head coach Mark Dantonio said a few weeks ago that his team is already “game ready.”
“We could go out and play a game tomorrow,” Dantonio said on April 9. “We’re going to make mistakes, but we are game ready because we practice enough, we do enough things from a live standpoint, we tackle enough. We do the things that we need to do. When we hit the field we are moving, and we have a lot of guys with experience back.”
The Spartans will hold their annual Green-White spring game on Saturday.

Drake Group refutes benefits of Big Ten's 'year of readiness' proposal
“Research indicates that athletes who did not compete were more likely than those who competed to end the year in poor academic standing even when admitted under normal admission requirements,” the Drake Group’s paper said.
Two of the Big Ten’s key points in its argument for freshmen ineligibility, which it calls “a year of readiness,” were that graduation rates in men’s basketball and football are worse than athletes in other sports and that most NCAA infractions occur in those two sports.
The Drake Group pointed out three negative impacts that would stem from the Big Ten’s proposal:
(1) academically capable students will be penalized by lack of access to extracurricular activities; (2) academically capable students who wish to complete four years of athletic eligibility will have to stay in school for one or two additional semesters, increasing the cost of education to these students or to institutions that provide athletic or other scholarship assistance (estimated to be $94.5 million); and (3) non-scholarship (walk-on) athletes who may be outstanding students will see their graduation dates delayed if they wish to compete for four years.
Absent a demonstrated positive academic impact and considering the adverse economic and academic consequences, freshmen ineligibility seems misguided for athletes generally, for all participants in revenue sports, or for football and men’s basketball players only.
The Drake Group said the Big Ten’s proposal “masks the real problem” that many of the athletes who are recruited to participate in big time Division I athletics are “unprepared” for the academic workload. These students, the paper said, are often admitted “by means of exceptions to normal admission standards, and then experience excessive athletically related time demands.”
While the Drake Group “supports the practice of special admissions” and said that decisions “related to diversification of the student population and advancing educational opportunities for underserved and lower socio-economic populations are ethically justified,” it said in its paper that “access to higher education should not mean open-door eligibility for underprepared athletes.”
The Group reaches the conclusion that simply making freshmen in men’s basketball and football ineligible is a “simplistic approach” that does not “address the need for a major course correction to restore academic integrity to the conduct of intercollegiate athletic programs.”
In order to help students from these circumstances whose “academic profiles” are lower than that of his or her incoming class, the Drake Group wrote that he or she “should be subject to national athletic governance rules.” While those rules prohibit athletes from being eligible, they also provide students with additional academic support.
That support includes:
(1) athletic scholarship assistance to support the athlete during a year of transition and remedial learning if necessary; (2) academic skills and learning disability testing; (3) if necessary, a remediation program supervised by academic authorities; (4) if necessary, a reduced college credit course load to accommodate the time required for remediation; (5) a 10 hours per week participation restriction applicable to athletics-related activities (practice, meetings, etc.); and (6) tenured faculty oversight of the student’s academic progress throughout his or her enrollment at the institution.
The Drake Group’s research shows that athletes generally underperform academically when stacked against their non-athletic peers. It has seven recommendations for universitiess to implement to lessen the gap.
(1) full enforcement of the 20 hours per week limit on all athletically related activities when classes are in session; (2) no competition during final examination periods; (3) adoption of institutional policies by faculty senates approving the maximum percentage of classes that may be missed due to scheduled athletic competitions; (4) no athletic department requirement that athletes select majors and courses that are The Drake Group Position Paper: Freshmen Ineligibility in Intercollegiate Athletics April 20, 2015 Page 3 of 12 compatible with athletics practices, meetings or competitions, (5) the scheduling of football games on weekends exclusively, because both athletes and students who are non-athletes are likely to attend; (6) the provision of athlete academic support services by academic units only, not by the athletic department; and (7) adoption of NCAA continuing eligibility standards requiring that any athlete with a cumulative GPA less than 2.0 be ineligible to participate in athletics, be restricted to a maximum of 10 athletics practice or meeting hours per week, and remain ineligible until a cumulative 2.0 GPA is achieved.
The Drake Group’s paper, which includes its research relative to the benefits of redshirt years, can be viewed in its entirety here.

Miami releases dramatic video touting Sun Life Stadium overhaul
Miami really wants you to get excited about renovations to Sun Life Stadium.
The facility, which hosts the Hurricanes and the Miami Dolphins, is in the midst of massive renovations detailed in a(n overly?) dramatic video due to be complete in 2016.
As you can see, a roof is being installed over the seating sections of the stadium and other upgrades are being made. And while we appreciate Miami's optimism when it comes to crowd size, we wonder just how often the stadium will be as full as it's shown in the renderings. Maybe they're playing Florida State in the video? Below are a few pictures from Miami games in 2014.

Colorado State superfan wants to walk on to CSU football team
If you've paid attention to Colorado State athletics over the last couple years, you may remember Justin Stank.
He's the superfan who was noticed during the 2013 NCAA tournament, when the Rams beat Missouri and lost to Louisville. Stank, set to graduate high school this spring, has been attending Colorado State games in a ram costume for much of his life.
He now has plans to be at Colorado State football games in the near future, though the goal is to be in a Rams uniform. He hopes to walk on to Colorado State's football team after getting his associate's degree at a Fort Collins-area community college.
Stank, now a senior, was recruited by NAIA and junior colleges to continue his football career, but there's only one school he's ever had an interest playing for, CSU. Since his grades won't allow him to enroll in the fall, he plans on attending Front Range Community College in Fort Collins to get his associate's degree before transferring in, similar to what former star running back Kapri Bibbs — now a Denver Bronco — did, Stank said, but as a walk-on.
At 5-7, Stank's height likely contributed to the lack of attention he got from big-time colleges. He played center at his high school and his coach said he was a great fit for his offense's system.
According to the Coloradoan, he got offensive line pointers from former Colorado State coach Jim McElwain. With McElwain now at Florida, Stank likely won't be playing for him in the near future, though we hope he can go from mascot to player. It'd be a pretty cool story.

Steve Spurrier: I still think Joe Paterno got a bad deal
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier still thinks Penn State coach Joe Paterno was treated unfairly during the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.
The former Penn State coach was fired from his post as the scandal involving his defensive coordinator took off. The topic of Paterno came up when Spurrier referenced him in an interview with The State about turning 70 years old. Spurrier's birthday was Monday.
Question: When you were 50 years old, what did you think about guys who were coaching in their 70s?
Answer: Well, there weren’t many. There weren’t many because just nobody did it. Nobody lasted that long, and most of the time they didn’t last that long because at some point they quit winning as much as they used to win. Bobby Bowden, of course, went a long time, and they finally had to tell him, ‘You’re finished.’ Joe Paterno was still there. That was very unfortunate what happened up there. I still think he got a bad deal, got a terrible deal.
Q: In terms of taking so much blame?
A: Correct. He did what the head coach is supposed to do. He told the athletic director, and (the AD) and the president let it die down I guess, and of course it flared up later. He was a good guy, a good friend. I liked him.
The interview with the State came on the heels of the publication of Spurrier's workout video.
Paterno told vice president Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley when he was told of allegations surrounding Sandusky. In testimony to a grand jury before his death, Paterno said he figured Curley would handle the allegations "appropriately." They were not.
Shortly after his firing in November 2011, Paterno died in January 2012 at 85.
As part of the NCAA's punishment against Penn State, a portion of Paterno's wins were vacated in addition to a bowl ban, scholarship reductions and a fine. The NCAA reinstated Paterno's wins in January as part of a settlement agreement.

Jeremy Johnson named Auburn's starting quarterback
Auburn has named Jeremy Johnson its quarterback of the future.
Johnson, a junior who was the favorite all spring, solidified his starting role with a fantastic first-half performance during Auburn’s annual A-Day game last Saturday.
Johnson led Team Auburn, which was made up of all first-team players, on four scoring drives. He completed 14 of 22 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns in front of an announced crowd of 62,143 at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
We just named Jeremy Johnson our starting QB for 2015. Everyone in our program has 100 percent confidence in him! War Eagle!
— Coach Gus Malzahn (@CoachGusMalzahn) April 20, 2015
Johnson’s first touchdown passes came on a 36-yard strike to D’haquille Williams in the right corner of the end zone early in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Johnson found Ricardo Lewis on a 49-yard pass and then Williams for the score.
However, not everything was perfect. Johnson did have a stretch where he threw five incompletions in a six-pass span before ultimately finding Lewis.
"I didn't perform to my best that I thought I should have performed but I did OK," Johnson said. "It was really about giving our receivers a chance and let them make plays down the field … (The incompletions are) the plays that we got to make if we want to be successful this season."
Johnson is already drawing comparisons to Auburn’s former Heisman winner Cam Newton. The two players are similar in physique and throw a similarly strong ball. Auburn can only hope those comparisons are accurate in the fall.
“He’s got a lot of experience,” Malzahn told the SEC Network during the game telecast. “Even though he’s been the backup, he has as much experience as anyone with practice and game snaps. I thought he did a good job today and we have high expectations for him.”

Blind long snapper Jake Olsen to walk on to USC football team
It’s been nearly six years since Jake Olsen became an honorary member of the USC football team. In the fall, the “honorary” title will be dropped and, as the Los Angeles Times reported, Olsen will join the team as a walk-on.
Olsen is an 18-year-old senior long snapper at Orange Lutheran. He has a 4.3 grade average, is a member of the golf team, sang in the school choir, and is blind.
Olsen was born with retinoblastoma, a rare form of retina cancer. He lost his left eye at 10 months and his right one when he was 12. It was around that time when he became an avid USC fan and met former coach Pete Carroll.
Olsen’s relationship with Carroll and ultimately the entire USC program was documented in a ESPN College Football Gameday piece in 2013. Olsen never let his blindness hold him back. He learned, thanks to the help of coaches and teammates, to be a long snapper and hit a golf ball. He became an inspiration to nearly everyone who met him. He helped pen two books and is an accomplished motivational speaker.
The Los Angeles Times had a lengthy feature about Olsen’s journey to USC, which included a desire to live a normal life despite his disability.
In February, Olsen received a Swim With Mike scholarship, which is awarded annually from the Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship fund. The fund, which is named for former USC swimmer Mike Nyeholt, who was paralyzed from the chest down in a motorcycle accident, has raised more than $16 million and has funded scholarships at 85 universities since 1981.
USC coach Steve Sarkisian told the Los Angeles Times that he fully expected Olsen to participate in a collegiate game before his time with the Trojans was complete.
"Someday, he's going to snap in a game for us," Sarkisian told the paper. "When? I don't know. But it will happen.
"When that day comes, it will be awesome."

Nevada OL coach Ron Hudson to miss spring football after open-heart surgery
According to a story in the Reno Gazette-Journal, an elevated heart rate and fatigue caused Hudson, 50, to visit an emergency room a couple months ago.
After a battery of tests, it was determined he had atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating. It would first be treated with medication. That helped, but it didn't fix the issue. So, once Nevada's season ended, he'd get an ablation.
That's a fairly routine, although invasive, surgery in which abnormal heart tissue is melted away. Hudson went in for that surgery Feb. 25. It would be a 45-minute procedure and he'd be good to go.
"I went into the hospital, they put me to sleep and I woke up and said, 'How did it go?'" Hudson said. "They said, 'We didn't do it.' I said, 'Why not?' The doctor said, 'We found a blood clot in your heart.'"
Doctors in Reno feared the blood clot could break off and travel to Hudson’s brain, so Hudson was referred to a specialist in California. Doctors there caught the blood clot before it broke off and stopped the atrial fibrillation.
Hudson will be on blood thinners for at least a year and the normally boisterous coach will have to be fairly tame while the Wolf Pack practices this spring. He’ll be able to return to recruiting in May and will likely be back on the sideline in the fall.
"It puts things into perspective very quickly," Polian told the Reno Gazette-Journal. "The fans and everybody, I don't think they understand the level of commitment the coaches and players give. People tell you it's not life or death, but we take this very seriously. When you see something like that, you take a step back and remember what's really important. Obviously, being a husband and father is the most important thing for him."

Indiana DL Ralph Green III arrested for battery, suspended
According to the Herald-Times, Green, a redshirt junior, was charged with battery, public intoxication and disorderly conduct after allegedly “slapping a 20-year-old woman in the face.”
Police said Green slapped the woman when she “refused to dance” with him.
From the Herald-Times:
According to Bloomington Police Department Capt. Joe Qualters, Green was trying to dance with the victim at a residence in the 1300 block of North Lincoln street. She refused to dance and attempted to get away, Qualters said, causing a disturbance between the woman, her boyfriend and Green. Qualters said Green grabbed her by her waist during the disturbance and slapped her on the right side of her face.
When police arrived on the scene, Green was “yelling belligerently.” Bloomington Police Department Capt. Joe Qualters said Green then “attempted to enter a vehicle through the passenger side and began honking the horn and yelling.”
Officers asked him to stop. When Green exited the vehicle, officers “noticed he had red and watery eyes and was saying back and forth while speaking.” A field sobriety test was conducted and Green registered a .201 blood alcohol content.
Qualters said that the victim had “no marks, redness or swelling,” but wants to pursue charges against Green, who was taken into custody at 1:42 a.m.
After becoming aware of the incident, Indiana announced that Green III has been suspended from football activities.
“Indiana University Athletics and the IU football program are aware of the arrest of Indiana University student-athlete Ralph Green III. We take this situation very seriously as we do all conduct-related issues, on or off the field, among our student-athletes,” the school said in a statement.
“Ralph has been suspended from all football activities effective immediately, and the IU Office of the Dean of Students has been notified of the allegations consistent with Department of Athletics policy. We will continue to gather facts, monitor the legal and university processes, and take further action as the evolving situation warrants.”
The 6-foot-5, 315-pound Green played in 11 games for the Hoosiers last season and registered 19 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and one sack. As a redshirt freshman in 2013, Green played in 12 games and made nine starts while recording 25 tackles, a sack and 4.5 tackles for loss.

Tyrone Swoopes remains Texas' starting QB after spring competition
Tyrone Swoopes is still Texas’ starting quarterback.
After Saturday’s spring game, coach Charlie Strong said Swoopes did nothing to lose his starting role and backup Jerrod Heard did nothing to change that.
“I don’t want to turn this into a quarterback controversy,” Strong said according to the Dallas Morning News. “When you look at it, Tyrone has come into the spring as a starter. I don’t know that Heard has done anything yet to unseat him as a starter. I said he’s closed the gap, which is what you want.
“Ty is still the No. 1 guy at this point.”
Swoopes finished the spring game completing 17 of his 31 passes for 159 yards. He had an interception called back by a penalty and a dropped pass in the end zone. He also threw a ball out of bounds that hit a young boy in the face. Strong made Swoopes check on the boy while medics attended to him. The boy was OK.
“I just told him that I was sorry,” Swoopes said. “I burned a ball out of bounds, and I caught him not paying attention. He looked pretty bummed about it.”
Strong said he expects Swoopes, a junior, to be better this season simply because the team around him is better. Texas spent the spring making improvements to the offensive line and changing the offense from a pro-style to an up-tempo spread attack that should play better in the offense-dominant Big 12.
As for Heard, a redshirt freshman, the Texas coaching staff was pleased with his progress this spring, but even he admitted he had a long way to go.
"The game is still fast for me," Heard said. "I really do have to have the team's confidence in me. My job is to show them that when my number is called, I'll be ready."
Heard, who is the more natural fit for the Longhorns’ up-tempo offense, completed 20 of 29 passes for 177 yards. He scrambled for a touchdown and scrambled to covert a fourth down that set up a field goal. But he also fumbled a snap, tossed an interception on an underthrown pass and had a potential interception dropped by a defender.
Strong said he hoped Swoopes would continue to progress throughout the summer so he would be the starter heading into the season opener against Notre Dame.
“The thing about it is I hope I don’t have to go into Notre Dame and start a redshirt freshman,” Strong said.

Baylor put no-contact restriction on 400-pound TE so he wouldn't injure teammates
McGowan, a converted 6-foot-7 guard who weights in at 400-plus pounds, caught an 18-yard touchdown pass against Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl. Since then, McGowan, who told Fox Sports that he was “425 (pounds) butt naked” and “probably about 440” in pads for the Cotton Bowl, has practiced exclusively at tight end for the Bears and is listed as a co-starter coming out of spring practice.
Baylor head coach Art Briles says the team is ready to unleash McGowan, a fifth-year senior who he has nicknamed “The Annihilator.”
“I don’t have to worry about what I say about him, because no one else has got anybody like him,” Briles told Fox Sports’ Stewart Mandel. “He’s the most unique football player in the United States with his combination of size and athletic skill.
“He’s going to be a dominant player. Not just a guy who jogs out on the field and does his job, he’s going to be dominant in what we ask him to do.”
The Baylor defense got a taste of McGowan, who’s now down to 405 pounds, throughout spring practice. The coaches actually had to put no-contact restrictions on McGowan so he wouldn’t injure his defensive teammates.
“Me and a linebacker (Grant Campbell) went head-to-head and it didn’t end well,” McGowan said. “They’re going to take the chains off (for the first game). I’m going to come out with a full head of steam.”
He also had a 21-yard catch during the Bears' spring game:
McGowan struggled to get on the field during his first three years with the program. He had trouble keeping up with the Bears’ fast-paced offense. Now as a tight end, he’ll be able to substitute in-and-out to the point where he can stay fresh.
Offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, Art Briles’ son, said that tight ends in their offense play around “45 to 60 snaps per game” and catch “around 24 to 30 passes” per season in the Bears’ offense. With McGowan (and his huge hands) splitting time with 2014 starter Tre’von Armstead, Art Briles says they think they’ve found the perfect role for McGowan to contribute in a big way.
"I think we've found his niche," said Art Briles. "It's taken four years but we've found the way he can help our football team win games and help himself, and that to me is inspirational. We stereotype these guys in their roles because of their body types, and that's something we have to be careful with."

Cardale Jones shows off arm strength with 74-yard throw (Video)
Ohio State held its spring game Saturday in front of nearly 100,000 fans at the Horseshoe. Before the annual Scarlet-Gray game got underway, fans were entertained with several competitions.
For one, the quarterbacks, along with former Buckeye Troy Smith, competed in a long-toss competition. Cardale Jones beat J.T. Barrett with this insane 74-yard throw. For what it’s worth, Braxton Miller did not participate.
Oh, just Cardale Jones slinging a ball 74 yards: http://ift.tt/1HES2Tu
— Land-Grant Holy Land (@Landgrant33) April 18, 2015
Here’s another angle.
The Buckeyes also showcased their circle drill for the fans and Jones got to square off with fellow quarterback Stephen Collier.
Jones is listed at 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds. I wouldn’t want to absorb that hit, but it looks like the 6-foot-4, 225-pound Collier handled it just fine.
Once the game was finally played, Jones threw for 304 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and led the Gray team to a 17-14 victory. Collier threw for 157 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions for the Scarlet. Barrett (shoulder) and Miller (foot) are still on the mend and sat out.

George O'Leary interested in exhibition with another Florida school
The UCF head coach said Saturday after his team’s scrimmage that he is going to reach out to coaches from Florida schools to see if they'd be interested in playing an exhibition game.
“I’d much rather see the competition level improve that way. Where you can make a true evaluation of where you’re at and give the money to charity,” O’Leary said, per the Associated Press.
O’Leary went with a starters vs. reserves format for the Knights’ spring game and the starters predictably came out on top, 20-6. Though he said it turned out to be “one of the better spring games” UCF has had during his tenure with the program, O’Leary thinks an exhibition with another program would generate more excitement.
“You’re not going to game plan things. You just go out and execute, take the kicking game out of it and I think it would be a lot more fun,” O’Leary said. “At least you’d get a lot more interest in the spring games.”
While the idea sounds good in theory, would other schools go for it? Most fans would most likely be on board with O’Leary’s idea, but opposing coaches are far more concerned about the health of their players than putting on a bigger show for the fans.

Ezekiel Elliott wins Sullivan Award
Ezekiel Elliott has collected another honor stemming from his 2014 season.
The Ohio State running back won the 2014 AAU Sullivan Award on Sunday afternoon. The award is given to the top amateur athlete.
Elliott beat out Shawn Barber, Simone Biles, Meryl Davis and Charlie White, Katie Ledecky and Jahlil Okafor. Barber is a pole vaulter from Akron, Biles is a U.S. gymnast, Davis and White are U.S. ice dancers, Ledecky is a U.S. swimmer and Okafor won the basketball national title with Duke earlier in April.
In his acceptance speech, Elliott said he couldn't imagine winning a gold medal in the Olympics. Ledecky won a gold medal in the 2012 Olympics. He thanked his parents, coaches and teammates at Ohio State.
"Football's a team sport and I'm nothing without my boys around me," Elliott said.
Playing the entire season with a broken left wrist, Elliott was Ohio State's driving force in the final three games of the year as the Buckeyes won the first College Football Playoff. He finished with 1,878 yards and 18 touchdowns.
Last year's winner was former Penn State offensive lineman John Urschel.

Florida's J.C. Jackson arrested on armed robbery charge
Florida defensive back J.C. Jackson is charged with armed robbery after he went over to an acquaintance's residence on Saturday.
According to police, Jackson visited with two men who the occupants of the apartment didn't know. Then Jackson left, leaving the two unknown men at the apartment. One pulled a gun on the residents, took things, and left.
At 3:45 p.m. Jerald Christopher “J.C.” Jackson came to visit an apartment of an acquaintance in a complex at 4400 SW 20th Ave. but entered the home with two men who were unknown to the people who lived there, according to a Gainesville Police Department report. Jackson quickly took off and left the strangers inside, and one of them pulled out a handgun,
The man — not identified in the report — grabbed a bag of suspected marijuana and, with the gun, demanded the three residents lie on the floor and empty their pockets. One resident — whose identifying information was redacted from the report — told GPD officers the man pressed the handgun against his face and demanded to know the location of his supply of drugs and cash, the report states.
Here's @GainesvillePD summary on arrest of Gator football player JC Jackson. http://ift.tt/1D29ADE
— Vic Micolucci - WJXT (@WJXTvic) April 19, 2015 According to the police report, $382 was taken. Jackson is charged with robbery with a firearm and is being held on $150,000 bail. He reportedly called the residents of the apartment after he was contacted by police.
Jackson redshirted in 2014 after he suffered a shoulder injury. He was a four-star recruit in the class of 2014 and set to be a possible starter in 2015.
On Christmas Eve, Jackson was grazed by a bullet in a shooting. A native of Immokalee, Fla., Jackson was back home and had a bullet brush past his eyelid when someone shot at the vehicle he was occupying. A high school teammate in the car with Jackson was shot in the face.

Maryland RB Reid, DB Dancel decide to transfer
The school announced that both running back Albert Reid and safety Zach Dancel will transfer out of the program and pursue graduate transfers for the 2015 season. Both players are expected to be immediately eligible.
According to the Washington Post, Dancel is on track to graduate from Maryland in May while Reid will earn his degree later in the summer.
Reid has competed in a crowded Terps backfield throughout the spring but was not expected to see many carries when the season rolled around behind senior Brandon Ross, junior Wes Brown and sophomore Jacquille Veii.
Reid appeared in 25 total games in his first two seasons, but saw action in only four games as a junior after going down with a knee injury. Overall in three seasons, Reid rushed for 447 yards and three touchdowns on 122 carries. Additionally, Reid had 15 catches for 129 yards and a score.
Dancel was taking reps with the second-team defense during the spring, but made the decision to move on to another program for the second time in his career. Dancel began his career at New Mexico and made eight starts with 32 tackles and an interception as a true freshman.
After sitting out in 2012 due to the NCAA’s transfer rules, Dancel appeared in 22 games for the Terps over the past two seasons mainly on special teams and registered 26 tackles.
The Terps went 7-6 last season – their first in the Big Ten.

Experience a workout with South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier (Video)
South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier is in great shape for a man who turns 70 years old on Monday. Josh Kendall, the Gamecocks beat writer from The State, got an up close look at the Ol’ Ball Coach’s workout routine in the football team’s weight room.
The first thing you have to notice is that Spurrier wears a sweater vest (!!!) and a headband while he works out. The man means serious business. He also goes through an impressive variety of exercises.
Kendall gave us an idea of what the average Spurrier session looks like:
He does two sets of shoulder presses with barbells. Fifty with 15-pounders and 40 with 10-pounders. He does 200 shoulder shrugs with 30-pound barbells, two long sets of curls, 50 tricep extensions with a 25-pound barbell (I think it was 25 pounds; oxygen depletion may have affected my memory.) There are 100 toe raises with the 30-pound barbells; 22 minutes on the treadmill; 11 minutes on the stationary bike at a not-insignificant incline.
Spurrier says he thinks he’s in better shape now than he was when he won the Heisman Trophy as a quarterback at Florida in 1966.
“I work out more for sure,” Spurrier said.
Spurrier told Kendall that he works out six days a week during the season, but his routine isn’t as defined during the offseason due to travel.
Kendall said the “most impressive” aspect of Spurrier’s workout was his core work that includes 400 crunches on a medicine ball and a one-minute plank (which you see at the 1:12 mark in the video).
I’m tired just thinking about it.
Spurrier said his attention to working out his core has spared him from back surgery. Though some doctors still suggest it, Spurrier’s personal doctor told him, “Just keep doing what you’re doing.”
And then to cap the workout off, Spurrier asked Kendall to pose alongside him with his shirt off. Kendall was hesitant at first, but then came around.
“It’s never something I would normally do but I thought to myself, ‘How many times in your life do you get a chance to pose shirtless with Steve Spurrier?’ So what the heck,” Kendall said.
Steve Spurrier in better shape than when he won the Heisman? He’s got a believer http://t.co/S683jHd3nN http://ift.tt/1HgrEyF
