Corbin Berkstresser was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident.

The incident involved hitting a parked car and there were no injuries. It seems like a simple case that will not linger. That is a good thing because leaving the scene of an accident is a felony and, according to university police, an athlete cannot return to action until a felony case is resolved. Berkstresser was the Tigers’ No. 1 QB during the spring while starter James Franklin was shelved due to injury. Berkstresser, who will be a redshirt freshman, was on the scout team last fall.

Spring practice was valuable for DeVondrick Nealy.

Nealy was the scout team’s offensive player of the year in 2011 and he wants that experience to translate into opportunities with the Cyclones’ running game in 2012. Coach Paul Rhoads was pleased with the Nealy’s spring – as well as that of another young RB, Rob Standard – which concluded with 28 yards rushing and a reception in the spring game.

Aaron Green announced that he will transfer to TCU.

Feeling he did not fit into the Cornhuskers’ scheme, the running back indicated late last month that he was leaving Nebraska, though he did not reveal where he was headed. The Texas native will be closer to home and play in what he feels will be s system better suited to his skills. Unless Green petitions the NCAA for a waiver, he will have to sit out the 2012 season. That timing could prove beneficial as, among TCU’s leading running backs from a year ago, only Waymon James will still be around.

Max Wittek showed marked improvement while competing to be Matt Barkley’s primary backup.

Either Wittek or Cody Kessler will enter the season as the No. 2 quarterback. At least on paper, they were even coming out of the spring. Wittek has a strong arm and is growing more comfortable in coach Lane Kiffin’s system.

Tony Lippett will be counted on to have an impact on offense.

The NCAA waiver De’Anthony Arnett acquired allowing him to play in 2012 after transferring from Tennessee is huge given the Spartans’ lack of retuning experience at receiver. Lippett, in fact, is the leading returning receiver with all of 4 catches for 44 yards. He started five games at corner as a freshman last season, but was listed as a starting receiver coming out of the spring. Lippett’s spring was cut short due to injury, but coach Mark Dantonio is counting on him to make things happen on offense.

Marquel Wade was among three Razorbacks arrested and charged with burglary.

The bad news continues in Fayetteville this off-season. Wade is expected to step up in his sophomore season to help ease the loss of a couple of key receivers. He still may, but a price is sure to be paid before he can take the field again. As a freshman last season, Wade caught eight passes for 62 yards (all in the first five games) and averaged 25.5 yards on 14 kick returns. He took one back 85 yards for a score against New Mexico. Also arrested were receiver Maudrecus Humphrey and tight end Andrew Peterson.

Ken McRoyal was shot and killed Sunday in Los Angeles.

McRoyal appeared in eight games (one start) and caught six passes after making the team as a walk-on last season. Prior to joining the Vandals, McRoyal played at El Camino Junior College in California. He would have been a senior in the fall.

Defensive back and kick returner Malcolm Marable was arrested following a fracas with a nightclub bouncer. It was Marable's second brush with the law this year.

Marable said he was coming to the aid of teammate Ryan Murphy, who was using the ID of yet another teammate, Anthony Watkins, at the nightclub. All three are defensive backs. Marable is deep down the spring depth chart at corner. The sophomore-to-be averaged 24.8 yards on 13 kick returns last season.
