Spring won't officially spring until March 20, but college football isn't going to wait around for an equinox. From the deserts of Arizona to the highest-profile high school football facility in America, spring practices have already begun all over the country, marking the unofficial start to the 2016 college football season. Over the next few weeks, the rest of the Power Five conference members will join in with the start of their own spring practices. When April rolls ...

Sometimes, you just need a fresh start. Maybe the coach who recruited you left. Maybe that same coach recruited a better player at your position, or maybe you just don’t agree with his philosophies. Any way you look at it, transfers happen all across college football. A new start is appealing for plenty of players, and plenty have had successes in new homes. Baker Mayfield led Oklahoma to the College Football Playoff. Jake Coker led Alabama ...

Whether he wound up making himself any money with his NFL combine performance won't be determined until the draft, but receiver Marquez North certainly turned some heads. The former Tennessee pass-catcher who elected to leave Knoxville a season early measured in at 6'2", 223 pounds. Then, he went and showed out, running a sub-4.5-second 40-yard dash. At his size, a showing such as that could be enough for a team to take a chance on him. Bleacher Report ...

The fun with March Madness is the fact that any team can make a deep run, even the final few teams that make the field. A year ago, the UCLA Bruins went to the Sweet 16 as a No. 11 seed that barely deserved an at-large bid. The Dayton Flyers, Stanford Cardinal and Tennessee Volunteers all reached the second weekend as double-digit seeds in 2014. These squads showed that being on the right side of the ...

The USC Trojans hosted a collection of high-profile prospects on campus Saturday, Feb. 27, utilizing junior- day festivities to showcase an evolving program.  Following a 2015 season largely defined by the dramatic dismissal of second-year head coach Steve Sarkisian, USC elected to move forward with longtime assistant coach Clay Helton as its new leader. A mixture of key internal promotions and fresh staff additions have the Trojans trending in a positive direction with several key recruits. That ...

The 2015-16 college basketball regular season is coming to an end, but the North Carolina Tar Heels have already had quite an eventful year to this point. While the season will ultimately be judged by what the team does in March and possibly April, this doesn't mean you should ignore what has happened so far. The Tar Heels have already had some incredible performances on both the team and individual level as well as a few ...

The Kansas Jayhawks earned at least a share of their 12th consecutive Big 12 title this week, thus remaining the No. 1 team in the Bleacher Report Top 25 for a third straight week. There's sadly only one week left in the 2015-16 regular season, but even after three-and-a-half months of nonstop evaluations of the nation's (supposedly) best teams, our opinion on a lot of squads is still in flux. Iowa, for instance, was No. 10 in ...

Navy Athletics captured an image of Reynolds holding his framed jersey: Reynolds set the Football Bowl Subdivision record this year by scoring his 88th career rushing touchdown, and he ended his collegiate ...
