Georgia football rival names starting quarterback
The No. 4 Georgia Bulldogs aren't expected to face a true challenge until Week 3 when the Bulldogs play the No. 18 Tennessee Volunteers on the road. Georgia is favored to beat Tennessee, who has had a tumultuous offseason after making the College Football Playoff. The Volunteers lost starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava to the NCAA transfer portal in the spring and had to scramble to find a new starter ahead of the 2025 season. Iamaleava transferred to the UCLA Bruins. Interestingly, Tennessee found their replacement from UCLA. The Volunteers added quarterback Joey Aguilar, who transferred from UCLA this spring. Aguilar never played a snap for UCLA. He spent the first two seasons of his college career with Diablo Valley Community College (a junior college) before transferring to Appalachian State. He transferred to UCLA after the 2024 college football season, but was only with UCLA in the spring. Now, Aguilar has been named as Tennessee's starting quarterback. What will Georgia face in Joey Aguilar? Aguilar is a big, veteran quarterback with a lot of experience (25 starts) from his time at App State. Aguilar has decent mobility and rushed for at least 200 yards and multiple rushing touchdowns in both seasons at App State. He has two career starts against Power Four opponents entering the 2025 season, so the competition he's faced is a bit of a question. Aguilar has been productive as a starter. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound senior passed for 3,003 yards and 23 touchdowns last season. However, he's thrown double digit interceptions in each of the past two seasons including 14 picks during the 2024 season. Georgia will try to force Aguilar into mistakes when two SEC rivals meet on Saturday, Sept. 13. Aguilar and Tennessee hope to snap an eight game losing streak against Georgia. Joey Aguilar stats 2024 (App State): 3,003 passing yards, 23 touchdowns and 14 interceptions 2023 (App State): 3,757 passing yards, 33 touchdowns and 10 interceptions This article originally appeared on UGA Wire: Georgia rival names starting QB after transfer disaster

Penn State QB Drew Allar Put on Notice in Concerning Outlook
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. There are heavy expectations surrounding Drew Allar and the Penn State Nittany Lions heading into 2025. Not only is Allar preparing to potentially be a top-five pick in next year's NFL Draft, but Penn State should be contending for a national championship. Still, the Nittany Lions have a whole lot of doubters. Why? Well, head coach James Franklin's career 1-18 record against top-five teams is a start, and Allar's tendency to fade against the very best teams in the country is a knock, as well. More news: Insider Connects Jon Gruden to Tennessee Volunteers Coaching Job The argument in favor of Allar is that he hasn't exactly had the best set of weapons at his disposal in Happy Valley, which is why Penn State completely retooled its receiving corps this offseason. However, that has placed that much more pressure on the shoulders of Allar, and Ralph D. Russo of The Athletic thinks things could potentially go south for the 21-year-old signal-caller. "What if it wasn't the receivers holding Drew Allar back but vice versa?" Russo wrote. "Allar has left a lot to be desired against the best competition. Head coach James Franklin flipped the receiver room through the transfer portal to give his quarterback more weapons, but without further improvement from Allar, it might not matter." Drew Allar #15 of the Penn State Nittany Lions is seen during the Big Ten Championship against the Oregon Ducks at Lucas Oil Stadium on December 7, 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Photo byThe Nittany Lions bagged three receivers via the transfer portal, which should give Allar a better chance of succeeding this coming season. But if he falters, there is no doubt that his draft stock will take a hit. Of course, it's not like Allar's numbers were poor in 2024. Far from it. He threw for 3,327 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions while completing 66.5 percent of his passes. He also rushed for 302 yards and six scores. Compared by many to Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen, Allar is widely viewed as one of the top quarterback prospects heading into the new season. However, just like Alabama's Jalen Milroe a year ago, that could definitely change with a disappointing 2025 campaign. Penn State is the favorite to win the Big Ten this season, a conference that includes powerhouses like Ohio State and Oregon. Indiana, Illinois and Michigan aren't pushovers, either. It will be interesting to see how Allar handles the added pressure this fall. More news: Jim Harbaugh's Role in Michigan, Connor Stalions Scandal Revealed The one thing we should note is that Allar can actually significantly boost his stock if he comes out and leads the Nittany Lions on a deep College Football Playoff run while also playing terrific football. But if it's anything like last year when Allar failed to complete 60 percent of his passes in each of his last four games, the whispers will commence.

Nike's shocking decision opened the door for Tennessee Volunteers' blockbuster Adidas deal
Nike's shocking decision opened the door for Tennessee Volunteers' blockbuster Adidas deal originally appeared on The Sporting News Nike didn't even try to keep Tennessee. That's the reality behind the Volunteers' upcoming apparel switch from the Swoosh to Adidas' three stripes, according to longtime Tennessee insider Wes Rucker. After 12 years with Nike, Tennessee's contract gave the brand the right to counter any competing offer — and they didn't. 'Nike doesn't value Tennessee. That's not an opinion. It's a fact,' Rucker said. 'We know this because Nike's current contract with Tennessee allows it to counter and match any offer from any brand. Nike didn't table an offer. It knew everything Adidas offered Tennessee, and it never put pen to paper on a counter offer. Maybe it tried. Maybe it didn't. But any and every effort stopped short of a formal counter. Nike — and its iconic, Jordan Brand division — were willing to let the Vols walk. So the Vols walked.' Adidas, meanwhile, is making it clear they view Tennessee as a flagship program. 'Multiple sources for months have insisted to yours truly that Adidas is committed to treating Tennessee the way Nike treats Oregon, or the way Under Armor treats Notre Dame,' Rucker added. Exact figures haven't been released, but reports from ESPN's Chris Low and Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger put the deal at at least $100 million over 10 years — and some industry chatter suggests it could hit $20 million per season. Either figure would put Tennessee at or near the top of the college apparel market. This partnership is also deeply tied to NIL. Athletic director Danny White told Dellenger that player compensation was 'at the forefront' of his mind when negotiating the deal. Adidas is already working on individual NIL agreements for UT athletes this school year, nearly a year before the official start date in July 2026. Tennessee has been aggressive in the NIL space before, adding a 10% fee to football tickets last year to fund athlete compensation. Now they're breaking new ground again, becoming the first major program to directly link a brand deal to widespread NIL payouts. With more than 20 other power-conference schools set to see apparel deals expire in the next two years, Tennessee's move could be a blueprint others follow. For now, the Vols are leaving Nike behind and stepping into a partnership designed to pay off on the field, on the court and in the bank accounts of their athletes.
