At this point last year, Auburn was looking for Sammie Coates' sidekick. Coates was coming off a 2013 season in which he finished third nationally in yards per catch. But the Tigers' top vertical threat looked like their only threat toward the end of the year, and Auburn was on the hunt for that X-factor at No. 2 on the depth chart. Fast-forward to today, when Duke Williams not only became Coates' tag team partner out wide last season, ...

DESTIN, Fla. — The 2015 edition of SEC spring meetings are in the books, and it has been an interesting year for the high-profile conference. The SEC Network launched in August and was the most successful cable television launch in history. SEC Commissioner Mike Slive will hang up the briefcase this summer and coaches suddenly feel threatened by satellite camp restrictions that allow coaches from other conferences to recruit during times when it typically isn't allowed.  What ...

Florida State's Quincy Nieporte went full "bro" during his team's 6-2 win over North Carolina State in the ACC tournament final over the weekend. After hitting a two-out double in the fifth inning, Nieporte showed why FSU was rated one of the top party schools in the nation. After popping up from his slide, the sophomore pretended to shotgun a beer. After finishing said beer, Nieporte slammed it to the ground, as most people would. The Seminoles won their third ACC ...

Georgia's quest for the top spot in the 2016 class recruiting rankings took a major turn for the better when in-state, 5-star defensive tackle Julian Rochester gave his verbal commitment on Thursday. As the nation's No. 10 overall player and the nation's No. 3 defensive tackle, Rochester was considered a Georgia lean for quite some time. In recruiting, however, nothing is set in stone until a player signs his national letter of intent. The next-best feeling of ...

Penn State just pulled off a major coup in its 2016 recruiting, as it managed to nab one of the top offensive line prospects in the entire country, Michal Menet, per Donnie Collins of the Scranton Times-Tribune. Menet, a 6'5" and 271-pound offensive tackle from Exeter Township Senior High School in Reading, Pennsylvania, is considered to be the No. 37 recruit in the 2016 class, the No. 6 offensive tackle and the top player from his state, according ...

Alabama has pulled in five straight No. 1 recruiting classes, so just due to the sheer number of top prospects on campus, it can be difficult to spread around playing time and keep everyone happy. That means a lot of high 4- and 5-star guys end up having to wait their turn while some become instant stars. It speaks to their patience and work ethic for players to come in who could have gone just about anywhere ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Friday didn't mark the first time Urban Meyer stated Braxton Miller would be back at Ohio State for the 2015 season. But it did mark the first time the Buckeyes head coach did so adamantly, without attaching a qualifier to his proclamation. Ever since J.T. Barrett emerged—and Cardale Jones after him—in Miller's absence during Ohio State's run to the national championship, rumors have swirled that Miller would use his ability as a graduate transfer to ...

Great passing games aren't made with just one go-to receiver. In order to have one of the most feared attacks in the entire country, teams must have multiple targets out wide who can make the big play. If not, opposing defenses can lock on to just one wideout and keep even the most talented players quiet for a game. While college football lost some of its best receivers from 2014—Alabama's Amari Cooper, West Virginia's Kevin White and ...
