Spring Camp News

  • Utah QB Devon Dampier was praised by offensive coordinator Kevin McGiven due to the growth he’s shown in the last few months, according to Sammy Mora of On3.com.

    “The command that he’s developed over the last couple of practices has been really impressive to see. His application of concept, making decisions pre snap, post snap, and with some of the new concepts that we’re running, that he’s been exposed to for the first time, I think he’s doing a really good job with starting to display a pretty high comfort level with with a lot of things, and just trying to continue to build chemistry with the with the pieces around him,” McGiven said.

  • A note out of camp on FSU QB Ashton Daniels per CBS sports:

    "I think he's going to play a lot better than people think he will," a source said. "He's really smart. He really has a workman attitude to everything. He's not prima-donnish. Everything he's gone through in his career, you can tell it keeps him humble and keeps him focused on the right things. I think he can feel the confidence that people in the program have in him. And he's also got enough playmakers around him that I think his talent will show up."

  • Per ON3, a note on Michigan’s expected WR rotation:

    Four-star sophomore Andrew Marsh (6-0, 190), sophomore, three-star sophomore JJ Buchanan (6-3, 225), four-star freshman Salesi Moa (6-2, 175). These guys are young, but all are talented, and Marsh and Buchanan have already exceeded their rankings early at Michigan and Utah. They’re future pros. Moa is already turning heads.

  • Michigan WR JJ Buchanan no longer has TE eligibility on Fantrax. Per ON3, Hogan Hansen is the expected starter for 2026:

    Four-star junior Hogan Hansen (6-5, 240). Injuries have derailed him, but he has the talent. He was No. 327 overall in the Rivals industry rankings, but most believe he has the potential to be much better than that … if he can stay healthy

  • Update on Duke’s QB competition per 247 Sports:

    The Blue Devils were put in an unenviable position with their quarterback room following the sudden departure of Darian Mensah to the transfer portal on the day of its closing. There weren’t many options available to Duke. But the Blue Devils did land an experienced passer in San Jose State’s Walker Eget, who threw for 3,051 yards last season. Eget wasn’t cleared by the NCAA for a sixth season until February, and he wasn’t 100% healthy during spring practice, per a source, after he suffered a leg injury in November.

    Eget did take some limited reps, however, and was around the team. He’s in a battle with redshirt freshman Dan Mahan for the starting job. Duke is optimistic about Mahan’s future but Eget certainly has the experience edge.
