The NFL Combine is one of the places teams can get a closer look at how players perform. We’ve seen draft stock change drastically based on how players do at the event. Some bad news came out of the Combine today. Projected first-round pick Nate Wiggins was injured during his 40-yard dash.

College football has been under a lot of pressure to improve their game in one way: helmet-to-helmet communication. After the Michigan Wolverines sign-stealing scandal, the message from other programs was clear. While they were upset, they recognized using an easily accessible technology would eliminate the problem and called on the powers that be to make it happen. It seems to be on its way, as a recent report said the technology has been approved.

The NCAA is trying to keep up with the rapidly changing college football landscape. Changes have been rumored, but nothing has been made official until now.

The Ohio State Buckeyes had one of the best offseasons in the country. They were able to nab a top recruiting class while also augmenting their roster through the transfer portal. Ryan Day was also able to convince some key players to return for another year. Expectations for this program are through the roof. However, the program may have bent the rules a little. The university has self-reported recruiting violations to the NCAA.

Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is gearing up for a huge season. The Rebels were huge winners in the transfer portal, and many are wondering if they can contend for the SEC title. Dart is a big reason for the hype as well. Last season with Ole Miss, he threw for 3,364 yards and 23 touchdowns against five interceptions. With the rise in NIL deals, Dart signed one of the most unique to date: a deal with a private jet company.

The Michigan Wolverines are coming off a national championship season, but 2024 will look very different. Jim Harbaugh, along with many key players, are off to the NFL. New head coach Sherrone Moore was hired and immediately brought stability to the program. He has built his staff, and the Wolverines are looking to compete in the Big Ten once again.

Texas A&M has seen many players leave the program after Jimbo Fisher was fired. There was a mass exodus of players, but now that the window has closed, teams have a better idea of what their teams will look like in 2024. Unfortunately, the Aggies aren’t done losing players. Starting safety, Jacoby Mathews announced his intention to enter the spring transfer portal.

New Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore has made the transition from Jim Harbaugh flawlessly. Not only did he keep players in the program, but he also assembled a great coaching staff. One of those hires was former Tennessee Volunteers linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary. Recruits recently reacted to this hire, and it is safe to say they are happy.

West Virginia head coach Neal Brown is another in a long line of people calling for helmet communication in college football. The NFL has adopted this technology, but college football has not. This leads to an army of coaches on the sidelines who are giving signs, holding up symbols, or wearing certain shirts to relay play calls. Brown thinks this is bad for the sport and makes college football look like a “clown show.” West Virginia HC Neal Brown Calls For Helmet Communication https://twitter.com/on3sports/status/1760762856201429312?s=46&t=Bgo5ZRJWlUVL5qPJtpvYEQ Brown thinks it is a bad look for the sport.
