Florida safety Asa Turner returns to Gators in 2025 with seventh year of eligibility
The Florida football program got some good news on Monday with the announcement that safety Asa Turner will return to Gainesville to play for the Gators in the upcoming 2025 campaign. Turner was granted a seventh year of eligibility via a medical hardship waiver back in March, but it was not fully clear if he intended to re-embrace the Orange and Blue this fall. His journey over the years has been quite a fascinating one. "It's an interesting situation because I came into college starting my true freshman season in the middle of the year, so I didn't redshirt," Turner explained last August. "COVID happened and I got a fifth-year, medical redshirt last year, so now I've got six years." However, whether he will join the roster as a scholarship player or a preferred walk-on still remains in limbo. The former transfer from the Washington Huskies played just one game in a Gators uniform: the 2024 season opener against the Miami Hurricanes. He started that game and recorded a tackle before exiting with a leg injury. He has since recovered from hamstring lengthening surgery on his right leg, which he underwent on Feb. 7.

Notre Dame's backup RB Jadarian Price has multiple top-level NIL partnerships
It pays to play for Notre Dame football, even when you aren't the starter like running back Jadarian Price. The junior would start at a majority of other power programs across the country, but when you are teammates with Jeremiyah Love, that makes it a little more difficult. That hasn't changed the way that many companies view Price as an ambassador for their brands, and in a picture shared by On3's Tyler Horka, there are multiple Name, Image and Likeness deals that the backup running back has signed. Some of the bigger ones are Powerade, Lexus, and the Topps trading card company, and we have already highlighted a deal with famous jeweler Johnny Dang. Price through the A&P Sports Agency have amassed a very large and impressive amount of NIL deals. Price could leave to the NFL after this year, but with so many NIL partnerships, he might make just as much during his senior season as opposed to moving to the professional ranks. He'd be RB1 if he opts to say, with potentially more deals on his way. Regardless of what happens, this is just more ammo for the Notre Dame coaching staff to use in recruiting, as they can show that you don't have to be a starter to receive multiple NIL deals.

Notre Dame transfer Rocco Spindler makes PFF College First Team Preseason All-Big Ten
Pro Football Focus College released its preseason First Team All-Big Ten Offense on Monday afternoon, one month before Nebraska begins the 2025 season. Right guard Rocco Spindler represents the Huskers on the list. The Notre Dame transfer joins Nebraska after spending four seasons with the Fighting Irish. He played in 40 games for Notre Dame at right guard, starting in 23 of them. Spindler got his first chance of action during his freshman season in 2021, playing in two games before redshirting. He then played in 12 games as a sophomore in 2022, before earning the starting role in 2023. The 6-foot-5, 320-pound lineman got 10 starts in 2023, helping the Fighting Irish rank second in school history in scoring and yards per play. His performance on the Notre Dame helped him become a 2023 Joe Moore Award Semifinalist. Spindler then started the final 13 games of the 2024 season, guiding Notre Dame to the College Football Playoff championship game. Before joining the Fighting Irish, Spindler emerged from Clarkson High School in Michigan with a four-star rating and ESPN tabbing him as the nation's No. 1 offensive guard.
