WR Forrest Rucker (6’6, 220 lbs.), who was suspended from the team for off-the-field issues, will suit up and rejoin the Mean Green for fall practice. To recollect, as a true freshman, Rucker was suspended from UNT for the spring semester after being arrested and charged with two felony counts of credit card/debit...
A frustrated WR asked to be released from his football athletic scholarship. Delmon Robinson (So. 5’11 181 lbs.) was projected to have a limited role in the Bulldogs’ offense this season.

West Virginia has a high standard for academic excellence and will not fudge numbers regardless of the talent level. D.C. native and 4 star recruit WR Deon Long (6’0, 180 lbs.) signed with West Virginia this past February. However, he will not attend this season’s preseason camp due to his grades not satisfying the NCAA’s freshman eligibility requirement.

Coach Dabo Swinney has been “concerned” about Hunter’s battle and already limited him in spring and summer workouts. Hunter was a top LB prospect from Spartenburg, South...
Unfortunately, it looks like N.C. State LB Nate Irving (6’1, 235 lbs) could miss the entire season after suffering a broken leg and collapsed lung in a June 28 car accident. Irving’s exact status is still not know yet and he has a follow-up appointment with his doctors in August. Coach Tom O’Brien stated if doctors clear Irving to return this season, he will be allowed to play because he already has used a redshirt year. “This is a...
