Jeremiah: LB Alonso a second-rounder on tape

The NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah believes Oregon LB Kiko Alonso has earned a second-round grade on tape.

"Alonso made 3-4 impact plays in every game I studied," Jeremiah writes. "He's had some off field stuff but he's a rock solid second-round pick on tape." We aren't as confident in Alonso as Jeremiah is, but the Duck certainly attacks edge runs with force. He tends to struggle when as to change directions or against misdirection.

Grant likely can't apply for medical redshirt

Rutgers senior WR Janarion Grant's season-ending right ankle injury occurred just past the cut-off to apply for a medical redshirt year.

The NCAA says a player applying for a medical redshirt cannot have participated in more than 30 percent of the season. After playing Iowa, Rutgers is one-third of the way through its 12-game schedule. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound speedster broke his ankle against the Hawkeyes. His collegiate career, barring a miracle, is over.

Damien Harris (ankle) listed as day-to-day

Alabama HC Nick Saban said that sophomore RB Damien Harris is day-to-day with an ankle injury.

Harris sustained a right ankle injury on Alabama's first drive against Kent State on Saturday. He did not return to that contest and Saban is being predictably tight-lipped as to Harris' overall health. "Day-to-day" is certainly much more encouraging than "questionable" or "doubtful," but there just isn't a ton of information to go on, here.

Oregon snags four-star ATH Jaylon Redd

Oregon received a verbal commitment from four-star 2017 ATH Jaylon Redd.

The Ducks have dropped back-to-back contests against Nebraska and Colorado over the past two weekends, making Redd's Monday commitment something of a nice momentary diversion. Oregon has told the 5-foot-9, 180-pounder that they envision utilizing him in similar fashion to Charles Nelson, who has played both corner and wide receiver during his time in the program. "It tells me they want me to show my abilities and not limit me in anything," Redd explained after Oregon initially offered to him. "That’s really good." He might be committed to Oregon, but official visits to other programs are expected, here. He took one to Nebraska earlier this season and is planning to visit (in either official or unofficial capacity) UCLA, USC, Arizona and and Arizona State before all is said and done. He ranks as Rivals' No. 98 overall prospect for the 2017 cycle.

Michigan CB Jeremy Clark (knee) done for 2016

Michigan redshirt senior CB Jeremy Clark will miss the remainder of the 2016 season after tearing his ACL against Penn State on Saturday.

Michigan might have blown out the Nittany Lions on Saturday, but even with the victory, it looks like they did suffer one loss. HC Jim Harbaugh confirmed on Monday that the 6-foot-4, 206-pound Clark will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2016 campaign after tearing his ACL in the second half of this weekend's win. Clark had started the first four games of the season, logging 10 tackles and three pass breakups along the way. Harbaugh indicated that the team will look into petitioning the NCAA for a sixth-year of eligibility on Clark's behalf now that he has been lost for the season.

Tuberville hopeful Moore (ankle) will play

Cincinnati HC Tommy Tuberville indicated that he is hopeful that sophomore QB Hayden Moore (ankle) will be able to play against USF on Saturday.

Moore sat out Saturday's win over Miami (OH) due to an ankle injury, presumably suffered against Houston in the previous game. Redshirt freshman QB Ross Trail started in his place and would likely draw the start once more should Moore be unable to rock and/or roll in this weekend's upcoming showdown with USF. Fallen angel Gunner Kiel will remain the Bearcats' No. 3 quarterback until further notice.

Del Rio (knee) 'highly unlikely' for Saturday

Florida HC Jim McElwain indicated that redshirt junior QB Luke Del Rio (knee) is "highly unlikely" to play in Saturday's showdown with Vanderbilt.

McElwain didn't rule Del Rio out completely, but he would need a strong showing during the practice week health-wise. The 6-foot-1, 213-pounder sat out Saturday's meltdown against Tennessee, with Austin Appleby starting in his place. Appleby played well in the first half before the Volunteers put the clamps to the Gators' jaws after halftime.

Arizona freshman RB Taylor breaks ankle

Arizona freshman RB J.J. Taylor broke his left ankle in Saturday's overtime loss to Washington.

With lead back Nick Wilson sitting out Saturday's contest due to a leg injury, Taylor earned the start. The 5-foot-6, 170-pound freshman gashed Washington to the tune of 97 yards and a score on 19 carries prior to breaking his ankle. HC Rich Rodriguez called it "extremely frustrating." If Wilson can't suit up against UCLA this weekend, the burden of toting the rock figures to fall to Zach Green and Tyrell Johnson.

Les: I'd have a difficult time not coaching

Former LSU head coach Les Miles told Dan Patrick he would "have a difficult time not coaching football."

Basically Miles said he will be coaching somewhere else soon, and we would expect his name to come up quickly after the season. "I don’t golf. I play no tennis. I enjoy shooting the gun, I don’t necessarily like pointing it an animals. I play cards," Miles told Patrick. Miles coaches at Oklahoma State prior to joining LSU in 2005 and also coached offensive lineman at Colorado and Michigan before that.
