Trent Mackey - LB - Green Wave

Tulane senior LB Trent Mackey's robbery trial has been pushed back to July 9.

Mackey was charged for armed robbery last August, so the legal process has already dragged on for quite a bit. The linebacker is accused of setting up a robbery at gunpoint, but has denied the claims. He hopes to rejoin the football team in time for fall practice.

Wilson Van Hooser - WR - Green Wave

Tulane senior WR Wilson Van Hooser has asked for his release from scholarship in the hopes of transferring to a different program.

"I need to step up for my family, and I need to be the one to be back in Montgomery (Ala.) to help out as much as I can," Van Hooser said. As the quote says, Van Hooser intends to transfer closer to home. He graduates this spring, so he will not have to redshirt the 2013 season.

Nick Montana - QB - Green Wave

Buffalo Bills GM Buddy Nix said the QB class is better than everybody thinks it is.

"Five or six of those guys -- maybe seven -- do a lot of things good and do them good enough to win. This is not a standard answer. I've said this from the start, that two or three of these guys will be franchise quarterbacks. I believe that," Nix said. "The jury's out on this group, but they do enough good things that if you do what they do best you can win with them."

Tulane QB Ryan Griffin has three team visits scheduled in the near future.

The Chargers, Jaguars, and Steelers are the three teams, and the last two have shown a lot of interest in quarterbacks throughout the process thus far. Griffin was the best quarterback at the Texas versus Nation game and should be a later round pick.

Nick Montana - QB - Green Wave

Former Washington QB Nick Montana has a chance to start for Tulane.

Montana spent last season at the JUCO level after his released was granted from Washington. "There’s never been a promise of early playing time," coach Curits Johnson said. "The only promise that I ever give is that if guys don’t do the same things that they did on film, or that they should've done, I promise them that I’ll sit them on the bench by me."
