Jayhawks RB Sims rushes for 127 yds, 2 TDs

Kansas junior RB James Sims rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries Saturday against Texas Tech.

Sims added another two catches for eight yards and a touchdown. Head coach Charlie Weis called Sims the best back in the Big 12, and although we like Oklahoma State's Joseph Randle more, Sims is very solid.

Riley leaves door open for Johnson's return

Nebraska HC Mike Riley left the door open for freshman WR Keyshawn Johnson Jr. to return to the team.

Earlier this month, Johnson Jr. was cited for marijuana possession in a Nebraska residence hall. His father, former NFL WR Keyshawn Johnson, announced that Johnson Jr. will not play in 2017 because he needs time to "mature." Riley indicated that he'd welcome Johnson Jr. back in 2018. "I think there’s kind of a wellness factor for Keyshawn going home," Riley said. "We talked to him about the possibility of maybe enrolling part time and taking care of his progress toward his degree, and also getting in great shape. And we opened the door for return, which is just kind of left open that we’ll deal with at the time that he is physically and mentally ready to do that."

Feuding KSU WR Sutton transfers to Appy State

Former Kansas State sophomore WR Corey Sutton transferred to Appalachian State.

Sutton dominated the college football news cycle earlier this month after he and HC Bill Snyder feuded over Sutton's decision to transfer. Snyder and Kansas State denied Sutton's release to all 35 schools he requested, leading Sutton to take his case to the public. Facing intense pressure, KSU ultimately granted Sutton's release, leading to his move east. Sutton, a three-star recruit, caught four passes for 54 yards last year. He must sit out the 2017 season due to NCAA transfer rules. He’ll have three seasons of eligibility remaining as a redshirt sophomore in 2018.

Four-star LB Ben Wilson commits to TCU

TCU received a verbal commitment from four-star 2018 LB Ben Wilson.

Wilson (6'2/215) opted for the Horned Frogs over Cal, Washington State, Louisville, Arizona State, Vanderbilt and Utah. While high school numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, Wilson posted some eye-popping stats as a junior at Sumner Senior High (Washington), registering 201 tackles (16.0 for loss) and 8.5 sacks. Former NFLer Reggie Jones, who now works at Rise Football Academy, said of Wilson, "Fearless physicality and he's a true student of the game. His game is universal." Jones added the juicy note that he believes that the TCU commit has the potential to play in the NFL down the road.

Cal starting RG Wallace leaves the team

Cal senior G Dwayne Wallace is no longer with the team.

No reason was given. Losing a starting offensive lineman in late June is obviously a disappointing development for the Golden Bears. The 6-foot-5, 330-pounder started nine of the 12 games he played in last season, his first and last with Cal after Wallace spent his first two years of eligibility at a JUCO. He was set to be Cal’s starting right guard.

Vandy nets pledge from four-star CB Douglas

Vanderbilt received a verbal commitment from four-star 2018 CB Tre Douglas.

Douglas (6'2/180) sided with Vanderbilt over big dogs like Alabama, Georgia, Michigan and Oklahoma. Scout.com's Chris Smith offers a scouting breakdown of the McDonough, Georgia, native, writing, "Douglas is a elite level corner back who has size, athleticism, length and the skill set to become a lock down cover corner on the college level." Smith believes that Douglas' commitment could bolster Vanderbilt's recruiting efforts moving forward, as he ranks as the No. 237 overall prospect for the 2018 cycle and could potentially help to heighten the allure of the program now that he is in the fold.

Wyoming QB Allen drawing comps to Big Ben

An AFC director of college scouting said Wyoming redshirt junior QB Josh Allen is more of a thrower than a passer right now.

"I love the size and raw arm talent," the evaluator said. "He's willing to make tough throws, but is more of a thrower than a passer right now. I did have some concerns with simple throws at times. But that sometimes is a product of youth, and he was only a [redshirt] sophomore [in 2016]." Walter Football's Charlie Campbell passes along that he's been hearing Allen's skill set likened to Ben Roethlisberger's by NFL folks. For all the hype Allen has drawn, he remains extremely raw. He has accuracy and footwork issues and got himself into trouble last year by taking excessive risks, leading to an inflated interception total.

Keyshawn Johnson Jr. won't play in 2017

Former NFL WR Keyshawn Johnson said that his son, Nebraska freshman WR Keyshawn Johnson Jr. has stepped away from the team to clear his head and will not play during the coming season.

Johnson Jr.'s father said that his son will not be with the team this season while he works on his maturity. The freshman wideout was cited for marijuana possession earlier this month in a Nebraska residence hall. While Johnson is stepping away from the team, this might not be permanent. The four-star frosh could potentially take online classes or enroll at a junior college this autumn, after which he would try to link back up with Nebraska in January of 2018.
