The spring transfer portal window opened on Wednesday. It'll be interesting to see over the next few days how many Spartans enter the portal in an attempt to find a new home.

Tez Johnson stealing the show at Buccaneers minicamp
Tez Johnson stealing the show at Buccaneers minicamp Tez Johnson wasn't on anyone's radar when he left the Troy Trojans back in 2023. But when he landed with the Oregon Ducks, he dazzled audiences and greatly improved his draft outlook. He was selected towards the end of the draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the seventh round, but it is much better than going undrafted. Most players selected as late as Johnson struggle to even make the team's roster, but it seems the Oregon standout has a solid chance. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected him with the 235th overall pick and if he played at all during his rookie season it was assumed it would be on special teams. However, head coach Todd Bowles spoke to the media following a practice session this week, offering a glowing review of Johnson. 'He could be a vital part of our offense if he continues trending the way he's trending.' Not only does Bowles think he's capable of impacting the offense, he thinks Johnson could be one of the driving forces. The Buccaneers are getting to see some of the game-breaking speed and elusiveness that electrified crowds back in Eugene, and they have clearly fallen in love.

BREAKING: Oregon Ducks land commitment from 4-star WR Messiah Hampton
BREAKING: Oregon Ducks land commitment from 4-star WR Messiah Hampton The Oregon Ducks picked up a major win on the recruiting trail to kick off the weekend, landing 4-star wide receiver Messiah Hampton, the No. 1 ranked player from the state of New York in the 2026 class. Hampton is a massive win for Oregon's new wide receiver coach Ross Douglas, who developed a close relationship with the blue-chip player while coaching at Syracuse and continued that relationship when he came over to Eugene. The 247Sports Composite rates Hampton as the No. 102 player in the 2026 class, and the No. 11 WR. He stands at 6-foot-1, 180 pounds. He is scheduled to take his official visit to Oregon later this month. It doesn't come as a major surprise that Hampton committed to Oregon. The Ducks were battling the likes of Syracuse, the Ohio State Buckeyes, Penn State Nittany Lions, and Miami Hurricanes down the stretch, among a few others. Ultimately, it is the relationship with Douglas that proved to be the most significant factor in getting him to side with the Ducks. While he is verbally committed, this commitment is long from over, though. According to 247Sports' Brian Dohn, schools like Syracuse and Penn State are expected to stay in the mix for Hampton throughout the fall, so until the pen hits paper in December, this will be an important one to keep an eye on.

Auburn football is making a late push to land a four-star 2026 CB from Florida
Auburn football is making a late push to land a four-star 2026 CB from Florida Auburn's late push for four-star CB Danny Odem could pay off ahead of his late-June commitment date. When 2026 cornerback Danny Odem revealed his top schools last month, Auburn was nowhere to be found. Now, just over 10 days until his commitment date, Auburn is among the top schools that Odom is heavily considering. The change of heart comes after a recent visit to Plains. Odem toured the campus and facility, and had a great time developing a relationship with cornerbacks coach Wesley McGriff. McGriff may single-handedly be the reason Auburn is so high in the race with the 11th hour approaching. "When I put out my top teams, Auburn wasn't in there," Odem said in an interview with Auburn Undercover. "Now in my final decision, Auburn's one of my top teams. Coach Crime Dawg (was why). He came to see me, we chopped it up over dinner. Boom." Odem's relationship with McGriff is a major reason for his interest in Auburn, but his campus visit gave him something to consider. Odem admits that he knew virtually nothing about Auburn before his visit, but after taking in the environment, he feels that Auburn is a special place. "It was very impressive," Odem said of his visit. "Way better than I thought. I thought it was like in the middle of nowhere. So it shocked me. The town, the campus, the facilities — it's a great college town. We went to Bunkers and hung out, watched practice, watched them workout. Then just talking with Coach Crime and some of the players." So, who is Auburn battling ahead of his June 23 commitment date? Georgia, Miami, Nebraska, Clemson, Florida, Penn State, Syracuse, and Oklahoma were in his top eight when he released his list in May. He has zero crystal ball predictions from 247Sports recruiting experts, but the Sooners are at the top of the race according to On3, who gives them a 20.5% chance to land his pledge. Nebraska is next at 17.9%, and Auburn is third with a 11.6% forecast. Auburn has 10 days to continue pushing for Odem's commitment, but understands that it will be a tight race for the next week and a half. Odem is a four-star cornerback from The First Academy in Orlando, Florida, and ranks as high as No. 8 within his position and No. 7 among 2026 recruits from Florida.
