Jonah Coleman finished his college career with 552 carries for rushing yards 3,054 and 34 rushing touchdowns, plus he added 83 catches for 838 yards and three receiving touchdowns.

The NCAA is pleased by the court's decision today, which protects the integrity of collegiate competition. As additional lawsuits challenging common-sense, academically-tied eligibility rules are filed, the NCAA will continue to defend against attempts to rob high school students across the nation of the opportunity to compete in college and experience the life-changing opportunities only college sports can create.

The NCAA is charged with supporting its member institutions and enforcing the rules that they adopt. Its even-handed enforcement of the eligibility rules is necessary to ensure a level playing field among all competitors and to provide opportunities for incoming student-athletes. If courts can intervene in NCAA eligibility decisions to provide special treatment to favored athletes, then the NCAA's ability to ensure fair athletic competition in which all participants play by the same rules will depend upon the whims of trial courts throughout the country.

The six jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict after deliberating for about six hours. Jurors were weighing whether Jones, 40, is guilty of the murder of his teammate Bryan Pata.

Will Muschamp is back as defensive coordinator at Texas, where he accelerated his "Coach Boom" reputation and spent 2009 and 2010 as head coach-in-waiting behind Mack Brown. Gary Patterson has not worked at USC before, but his arrival as defensive coordinator -- a role he hasn't held since 2000 -- under a coach he knows well (Lincoln Riley) qualifies as one of the splashiest moves of the winter.

The 23-year-old still drives a 2015 GMC pickup truck that served him in high school growing up in the suburbs of Charlotte, N.C. The truck broke down off of Interstate 95 in January 2025, but the burgeoning football star refused to part with the vehicle-even at the behest of his high school football coach, The Washington Post reported.

The late Joe Kapp could make that claim. He played two sports at Cal, best known for leading the Bears to their most recent Rose Bowl following the 1958 season. But the man who later quarterbacked the BC Lions to a Canadian Grey Cup championship and the Minnesota Vikings into Super Bowl IV also played hoops for the Bears. He was an All-American in football, a backup guard on the basketball team. Kapp played the 1956-57 and '57-58 seasons, averaging just 1.8 points each season.

Ohio State is finalizing a deal to make former Pittsburgh Steelers play-caller Arthur Smith its offensive coordinator, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Smith will replace Brian Hartline, who recently was named head coach at South Florida. Smith spent the last two seasons with the Steelers under coach Mike Tomlin. Before that, he was the head coach for the Atlanta Falcons, compiling a record of 21-30 over three seasons.

When my D1 college football career ended, I didn't just lose the game. I lost my identity. Football had structured my entire life: my schedule, my body, my purpose. When that structure disappeared, I didn't know who I was anymore. I had been living what I now recognize as a lukewarm lifestyle, doing just enough to get by, but not anchored in anything solid. Without football, there was nothing left to lean on.

Curt Cignetti was salty. Asked at a news conference about how he planned to sell his vision to young players, the recently hired Indiana coach didn't even look up while delivering his now-famous response. "It's pretty simple. I win," answered Cignetti, who then paused two seconds before delivering the final two words. "Google me." A little over two years later, there's no need to Google the 64-year-old coach who just finished leading the Hoosiers to an improbable 16-0 season and their first national championship in football.

Kamara production didn't come out of nowhere one season. He has been consistent at both of the stops in his college football career. As a redshirt sophomore at James Madison in 2023, he put together a season where he had 53 total tackles, 18.5 tackles for a loss, and 7.5 sacks, while forcing four fumbles along the way. He was a defender living in the backfield. After that season, he followed head coach Curt Cignetti to Indiana through the transfer portal. Even then, nobody was rushing to get him. He entered the portal ranked 997th and 99th among defensive lineman.
