Lee County (Leesburg, Georgia) defensive lineman Jeramiah McCloud has been locked in with the Florida Gators since verbally committing to the program in May, but that hasn’t stopped other Power Four programs from pushing for a flip. According to Swamp247, McCloud has heard from LSU, Georgia, Auburn, USC, and Florida State since committing to Florida. Visits to FSU and UGA …

The college football world moves fast and the rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan is proof of that. It wasn’t too long ago that former Buckeye head coach Jim Tressel went 9-1 against The Team Up North and Urban Meyer followed that up with a 7-0 record, but that is a distant memory. Ohio State has lost three in a …

Ahead of its signature summer recruiting event, UCF made a major splash by poaching a four-star defensive back from Alabama. Jackson (Ala.) rising junior Jamarrion Gordon flipped his verbal commitment in the Knights’ favor Friday afternoon, joining wide receiver Keeyun Chapman — his high school teammate — as the first pair on board in the Knights’ 2026 class. Gordon (6-0, …

Billy Napier has said many times that his goal is to keep the best high school football players in Florida from leaving the state, so it’s no surprise that Bolles School (Jacksonville) linebacker Simeon Caldwell — a top-100 recruit in the class of 2026 — near the top of the Gators’ recruiting board. Florida has pursued Caldwell for the past …

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti doesn’t plan to name a starting quarterback before the team’s Week 1 game against FIU. The quarterback competition that started in the spring between Kurtis Rourke, Tayven Jackson and Tyler Cherry will continue when the Hoosiers open fall camp next week. Cignetti told reporters at Big Ten Media Days on Thursday that he’s sticking …

We visited our friend Mark Rogers for his Big Ten live show at The Voice of College Football on Thursday. We reviewed the proceedings at Big Ten football media days in Indianapolis, focusing naturally on USC and Lincoln Riley but also including analysis of Dan Lanning and Oregon. It is fascinating to watch coaches take the podium at a mass-media …

A look at the Gators leading up to fall camp: SAFETY What to expect The back end of Florida’s defense spent much of 2023 on its heels. The Gators’ season-ending five-game losing streak included a 52-35 defeat to LSU featuring 372 passing yards by eventual Heisman winner Jayden Daniels and 130-yard receiving nights by Malik Nabers and Bryan Thomas Jr. …

Rick Neuheisel was a successful college football coach at Colorado and Washington. He won a Rose Bowl. He had multiple teams finish in the top 10. The former coach, now a CBS college football analyst, thinks Oregon head coach Dan Lanning is going to evolve, and that the Ducks will be better in the Big Ten as a result. John …

As dominant as Notre Dame’s defense is expected to be in 2024, the offense has almost equally high expectations. Much of that has to do with the return of Mike Denbrock as offensive coordinator after seven years of holding the same position at Cincinnati and then LSU. But the pressure he faces might have just gotten greater. Big Game Boomer, …

Rick Neuheisel, a former Pac-10 and Rose Bowl-winning quarterback at UCLA who coached Washington to a Rose Bowl victory nearly 20 years later, has opinions on the Big Ten football race. Neuheisel, interviewed by John Canzano at his Substack (subscription required), thinks that Oregon, not Ohio State, should be the favorite in the Big Ten this year. Said Neuheisel: “I …

After a recent trend of whiffing on a handful of targets as of late, the Texas Longhorns earned a bit of retribution against the Oregon Ducks after they landed five-star WR Dakorien Moore. On Wednesday the Longhorns staff flipped four-star defensive lineman Josiah Sharma. He originally pledged to play for the Ducks back on June 28. Less than a month …

Logan Anderson is officially off the board. Anderson, a Rivals four-star linebacker who saw his recruitment reach new heights this off-season after a seamless transition from safety down to the second level of the defense, became one of the hottest prospects in the country this summer as he made his way to college campuses across the South. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound …

Lincoln Riley made news at Big Ten media days when he talked about USC’s view of the LSU game, and how much of an effort was made to actually back out of the game. We have the audio and video below in a tweet, but before you watch the clip (if you haven’t seen it already), let’s get the obvious …

When he was introduced at an Indiana men’s basketball game last December, new football coach Curt Cignetti did not hold much back when speaking to the Hoosier faithful. “I don’t plan on taking a back seat to anybody,” Cignetti said. “Purdue sucks, but so does Michigan and Ohio State. Go IU.” When Cignetti was asked to explain his comments at …
