Mensah Saga Set to Reshape Miami and Duke's 2026 QB Decisions
Darian Mensah’s fate rests in a Thursday court hearing that could determine whether he can play for Miami in 2026, while Duke has already landed Walker Eget and positions him as their likely 2026 starter—meaning Mensah’s return to Duke appears unlikely. Mensah remains in the transfer portal under a temporary restraining order that bars enrollment elsewhere, and the ruling could force Miami to pivot or keep aggressively pursuing portal targets. Had he joined Miami, his near-4,000-yard, 34-TD season would boost the Hurricanes’ ACC title hopes, and Miami continues to add players such as Damon Wilson II, Vandrevius Jacobs, and Omar Thornton for 2026.
Smith Brings NFL Play-Calling to Ohio State as New OC
Former Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is set to become Ohio State’s next OC, bringing extensive NFL play-calling experience to a Buckeyes unit led by quarterback Julian Sayin and top receiver Jeremiah Smith; Day will let Smith run the offense as his staff adds a second NFL coordinator and maintains Day as CEO of the program.
LSU lands top uncommitted transfer Seaton from Colorado
Colorado offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, the top uncommitted transfer, committed to LSU from the NCAA Transfer Portal, choosing the Tigers over Texas, Miami, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Oregon. The 6-5, 330-pound lineman will have two years of eligibility in Baton Rouge after starting 22 games at Colorado across two seasons, including 13 as a true freshman in 2024, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors and Freshman All-American honors, and carrying a $1.7 million NIL valuation. Seaton visited LSU this past weekend and posted a Tiger Stadium photo with coach Lane Kiffin, signaling LSU's major roster add this offseason as the program rebuilds under Kiffin.
Swinney blasts Ole Miss over 'tampering,' urges sweeping college football reforms
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney accused Ole Miss of direct, repeated tampering with Clemson linebacker Luke Ferrelli, calling it a 'whole other level' of misconduct and arguing the transfer-portal system is broken. He detailed alleged communications and a $1 million offer, and said Clemson has filed an NCAA complaint. Swinney urged governance and consequences for tampering and proposed reforms—from moving the portal window to spring and instituting OTAs to limiting transfers and overhauling revenue sharing—to protect players and restore integrity in college football.
LSU lands elite transfer edge Princewill Umanmielen
LSU added top-5 transfer Princewill Umanmielen, a former Nebraska and Ole Miss edge rusher who entered the NCAA Transfer Portal and chose Baton Rouge. Ranked No. 1 at his position in On3's transfer-portal rankings, Umanmielen posted 45 tackles and 9.0 sacks (plus a pass breakup and an interception) for Ole Miss and helped the Rebels to an 11-1 season and a CFP appearance; his commitment adds to LSU's substantial portal haul as it continues building its roster.
Mendoza’s late heroics seal IU’s national title and cement a Hoosier legend
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, bruised but unyielding, led a championship-winning sequence by converting a crucial 4th-and-5 and scoring the go-ahead rushing TD to cap IU’s perfect season and forge a lasting Hoosier legend.
Duke moves Darian Mensah into transfer portal amid legal fight
Duke is set to enter quarterback Darian Mensah into the transfer portal after he informed the school of his intent to transfer, a move Duke is contesting in court with a temporary restraining order related to his NIL contract. The portal would let other programs contact Mensah for 2026, with Miami seen as the favorite to land him. Duke is also hosting San Jose State transfer Walker Eget on a visit, and a Feb. 2 hearing is scheduled to resolve the dispute.
Indiana QB Alberto Mendoza enters transfer portal after national championship win
Indiana backup quarterback Alberto Mendoza, the younger brother of Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza, entered the transfer portal hours after Indiana won the national championship. A redshirt freshman with three years of eligibility, he appeared in nine games in 2025 mainly in garbage time after backing up Fernando, and previously backed up Kurtis Rourke in 2024. With Josh Hoover already committed to Indiana from the portal, Mendoza will seek a starting opportunity elsewhere, having completed 19 of 25 passes for 292 yards with five touchdowns and one interception and rushing 190 yards with a rushing TD across two seasons.
Oregon Tops PFF's Way-Too-Early 2026 College Football Top-25
PFF's way-too-early top-25 for the 2026 college football season projects Oregon No. 1 after a playoff run, buoyed by Dante Moore's return and a stout defense, with Texas, Indiana, Ohio State and a mix of traditional powers and rising programs filling the rest of the Top 25 thanks to returning stars, transfer portal help and coaching changes across the country.
Ole Miss Rallies to Keep Princewill Umanmielen Amid Portal Talk
Ole Miss is reportedly negotiating to keep pass rusher Princewill Umanmielen after he announced plans to enter the transfer portal; the Rebels recently signed a new contract with him, but conversations are ongoing and nothing is final. Umanmielen, who joined Ole Miss in 2025 from Nebraska, tallied 44 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and 9 sacks this past season. With Friday marking the deadline for players to notify schools of portal intent, Ole Miss has been active in retention and portal activity, including deals for Kewan Lacy and Trinidad Chambliss (the latter contingent on eligibility).
