Brooks: A&M's Evans could be a No. 1 NFL WR

NFL.com's Bucky Brooks believes Texas A&M redshirt sophomore WR Mike Evans could be a potential No. 1 target in the NFL.

The Aggie receiver "has the size and physical dimensions that NFL coaches covet... that could make him a potential No. 1 receiver at the next level," Brooks writes. "Evans still must smooth out some of the rough spots in his game to earn a spot among the top-tier receivers in the college game..." Evans will benefit from NFL rules that prohibit contact from defenders, since he has the skills to win at the catch point against tight coverage.

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.

Nebraska nets pledge from four-star ATH Moore

Nebraska received a verbal commitment from four-star 2018 ATH Josh Moore.

ESPN's Tom Luginbill compares Moore (6'1/156) to Ole Miss junior WR DeMarkus Lodge, writing, "Lodge may have a little more loose wiggle than Moore, but the sleek, smooth speed stand out in both players." The analyst loves the fit with the Cornhuskers and notes that "Nebraska has placed a real emphasis on getting better weapons on offense" and that "Moore brings the height and speed that Nebraska has lacked to some degree." On the ESPN 300, he slots into the master list at No. 31 overall.

Nebraska S coach Elliott stepping aside

Nebraska safeties coach Bob Elliott has resigned from his position due to personal reasons.

No word on the exact reason for Elliott's decision to step down other than, per the statement released by the program, "personal reasons which recently arose." He had initially joined Nebraska's staff in February after spending the past four years at Notre Dame. While he is no longer going to be serving as an on-field coach, Elliott will remain with the program in the role of defensive analyst in 2017. Replacing Elliott will be special teams consultant Scott Booker, who himself was a member of Notre Dame's staff for five seasons prior to jumping on board with the Cornhuskers in March.
