McCarron throws 4 TDs on 15 completions

Alabama senior QB A.J. McCarron completed 15 of 16 attempts for 166 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-3 win over Georgia State.

McCarron was not asked to do much against a talentless Georgia State team, but he continued to show accuracy on short to intermediate routes along with back shoulder throws. He didn't play much in the second half.

La Canfora: Edmunds brothers could go in 1st

NFL.com reporter Jason La Canfora gets the sense that both Tremaine and Terrell Edmunds will go in the first round.

It's no surprise that Tremaine is going in the first -- he's rated as the top linebacker in this class by many, and he could easily go in the first ten selections. Terrell, on the other hand, is a surprise. Rotoworld's Thor Nystrom ranks him the 129th player in this class, which would make him a fourth-round target. La Canfora says that teams "secretly covet" the 6-foot-2, 220-pound safety, and he is considered one of the best athletes in the class. He also has struggled with tackling angles, and his instincts can come into questions. We wonder if a team like the Seahawks could have interest in Edmunds; as they potentially could be down two starters with Kam Chancellor's neck injury and Earl Thomas a possible trade candidate.

Martinez plays well in Nebraska spring game

Nebraska freshman QB Adrian Martinez completed 10-of-13 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown and ran for 60 yards and three scores during the Nebraska spring game.

It's important to note that the spring game is a controlled scrimmage. It's also important to note that you can't touch the quarterback in the pocket. Combine those two, and it's pretty easy for a quarterback to put up big numbers. That being said, it's an excellent introduction for the freshman signal-caller as he tries to win the starting job. He performed well in the practices leading up to the game as well, so there's a real good chance we'll see the 6-foot-3, 185-pound Martinez under center for the opener against Akron on September 1.

Zierlein compares Mayfield to Flutie

NFL Media's Lance Zierlein compares Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield to former NFL QB Doug Flutie.

Like Flutie, Mayfield also won a Heisman Trophy. Unlike Flutie, Mayfield is going to go in the first-round. Zierlein loves his competitiveness and "fiery" demeanor, and calls the former Sooner signal-caller "accurate on all three levels." He does note his concerns about his size -- a la Flutie -- and he'll need to eliminate his back foot throws. "Mayfield's ability to process, extend plays and throw with accuracy give him a good shot," writes Zierlein. "He'll be somewhat scheme-dependent so whoever takes him will need to be willing to build their offense around his strengths."

Brother of Tua Tagovailoa commits to Alabama

Alabama received a verbal commitment from four-star 2019 QB Taulia Tagovailoa.

Yes, Tagovailoa is the brother of sophomore QB Tua Tagovailoa, the potential starting quarterback for Alabama in 2018. The younger Tagovailoa was reportedly down to Tennessee and the Crimson Tide, but was also considering Florida, Michigan and Nebraska, among others. He's rated sixth-best "pro style" quarterback on 247 Sports composite rankings, and the eighth best player in the state of Alabama. We could see a Tagovailoa-to-Tagovailoa quarterback run in Tuscaloosa.

Zierlein compares Nelson to HOF G Allen

NFL Media's Lance Zierlein compares Notre Dame G Quenton Nelson to former Dallas Cowboys guard Larry Allen.

Allen is one of the best to have ever played the guard position and was elected to the Hall Of Fame, so yea, Nelson's pretty good. Zierlein calls his power "intimidating," and also lists his pad level, lateral movement and awareness among his many, many strengths. He does note that Nelson will occasionally whiff against long-limb defenders, and that there's room for improvement as a pass blocker. Those critiques aside, Zierlein calls Nelson an "elite" prospect, one who very likely goes in the first ten selections.

Four-star 2019 OT Olmstead commits to ND

Notre Dame received a verbal commitment from four-star 2019 T John Olmstead.

Olmstead (6'6/285) picks the Irish over offers from schools like Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State and Wisconsin. He ranks 54th overall in Rivals rankings of the top players in the class. Reports indicate that he's a physical player who can maul in the run game, but will need to work on his footwork in pass protection. A very nice get for Brian Kelly and the Notre Dame class.

Rang: Giants 'leaning heavily' toward Barkley

NFL Draft Scout's Rob Rang reports that the New York Giants are "leaning heavily" towards taking Penn State RB Saquon Barkley with the second pick.

Rang notes that Giants GM David Gettleman gushed about Barkley on Thursday, saying he's a player "that his mother could have scouted." He also said that the devaluing of running back was "a myth." "If you have a great running back, he immediately makes your quarterback better, your offensive line better and your passing game," he said. Both Rang and fellow NFL Draft Scout writer Dane Brugler project Barkley to go to the Giants. Where there's smoke there's fire, and there's a lot of smoke here.

NCAA issues response to Ole Miss appeal

Ole Miss has received the response to their appeal of sanctions from the NCAA's Committee on Infractions.

Ole Miss sent in their appeal to the governing body in February. While they've now received the NCAA's response, the specifics have not yet been released. Among the sanctions levied which they are trying to reverse, a bowl ban for 2018 as well as a limit on official recruiting visits. The Rebels are attempting to argue that the COI has "abused its discretion" with what's being brought against them as punishment. It should be noted that while the eligibility waiver requested by Michigan QB Shea Patterson very much ties into the alleged shady doings at Ole Miss -- he and other transferring Rebs claim they were misled by former HC Hugh Freeze -- the outcome of this sanctions appeal will not impact the signal-caller's own case one way or another.

Saban has encouraging meeting w/ Hurts' dad

Alabama HC Nick Saban said that he had a "very positive meeting" with Averion Hurts, the father of junior QB Jalen Hurts.

Mr. Hurts offered a slew of headline-worthy comments in a recent interview, saying (among other things) that his son had no plans to simply roll over and transition to wide receiver to allow Tua Tagovailoa an open path to starting action in Tuscaloosa, that his son would play this season whether at Alabama or elsewhere and that if the younger Hurts were to transfer, "he'd be the biggest free agent in college football history." But after speaking with Saban this past weekend, Averion said, "I don't think there's an issue or a problem from my standpoint." That may calm things for the short term, but this may well end up being an untenable situation. One only has to look at Ohio State's stumbles in their Cardale Jones/J.T. Barrett days to understand how uncertainty at quarterback -- even with two skilled signal-callers on roster -- can seriously gunk up the offensive works.

CeCe Jefferson (shoulder) expected for camp

The Gainesville Sun's Robbie Andreu passes along that Florida senior edge rusher CeCe Jefferson (shoulder) is expected to be healthy for the start of August camp.

News broke on Thursday that Jefferson underwent a significant shoulder surgery earlier this week, one which was initially said to require a recovery timetable of at least four months. That could have seriously jeopardized the 6-foot-2, 245-pound senior's availability for the start of the season. However, it would appear that matters might not be quite that dire for Florida. Andreu writes that the expectation, here, is that Jefferson's rehab will actually fall short of four months. While this should be considered an encouraging development, his health and recovery are worth monitoring as we head into the summer. Florida figures to lean heavily on Jabari Zuniga and Jachal Polite in their preparation for the season so long as Jefferson is sidelined. They'll be needed if he runs into any setbacks.

ESPN's Raanan hearing teams love L-Jax

ESPN's Jordan Raanan passes along that he's talked with "more than a few sources" who "really like" Louisville QB Lamar Jackson.

Raanan believes that five quarterbacks will be drafted within the first 20 picks -- those five presumably being Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Baker Mayfield and Jackson. Should matters play out in that fashion, with a flurry of quarterbacks taken early, that would open the door to the real possibility that we see six quarterbacks off the board by the end of Day 1, as Mason Rudolph or Kyle Lauletta could end up sneaking in just simply due to positional scarcity. All drafts are hyped up, but we suspect this one might have enough twists and turns to make M. Night Shyamalan proud.
