Senior Bowl 300 watch list features 10 Oklahoma Sooners
The organizing body for the Senior Bowl announced the first pool of 300 players who qualify for inclusion for this year's game at the end of the season, and 10 Oklahoma Sooners were included on the list. The Sooners were headlined by quarterback John Mateer, who qualifies despite being a junior, because he previously redshirted and qualifies as being eligible for the NFL draft. Mateer is set for his first season in Norman after leading the FBS in total touchdowns last year at Washington State, throwing for 29 and running for another 15 scores. Mateer also made the initial watch lists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, and several other postseason awards. Joining Mateer as a Senior Bowl honoree on the offensive side of the ball were wide receiver Deion Burks and running back Jaydn Ott. Ott is also entering his first year with OU after transferring from California-Berkeley, where he was a first-team All-Pac 12 running back two seasons ago before injuries stifled his production in 2024. Burks transferred from Purdue ahead of the 2024 season and was on the verge of a breakout last year, catching 31 passes in just five games before injuries took their toll, as well. Defensively, seven Sooners made the list. Four of those seven play on Oklahoma's defensive line. That group is led by defensive end R Mason Thomas. Thomas was named preseason All-SEC second-team by the league's media over the summer and All-SEC second-team by the league's coaches earlier this week. The Senior Bowl also honored Marvin Jones Jr., Gracen Halton, and Damonic Williams. Among the second level defenders, safety Robert Spears-Jennings and cheetah's Kendal Daniels and Kendel Dolby made the 300. Spears-Jennings is Oklahoma's leading returning tackler after registering 66 stops last year. Dolby was a starter two seasons ago and had 49 tackles, including five for loss, and two interceptions. Last year, Dolby was limited to just five games after suffering a dislocated ankle. This is the first year the Senior Bowl has released its top 300. In years past, initial lists included 850 players. Kip Lewis is the most notable player missing from the list. The weakside linebacker is in going into his fourth season with the Sooners and has been an impact player over the last two years. He has a year of eligibility after this year, so he could return to Oklahoma for 2026. There's still time for players to play their way into consideration for inclusion into the Senior Bowl. Heading into 2025, the Sooners have a significant group of upperclassmen leading the way in what they hope will be a huge bounce-back season.

Keldric Faulk and Cam Coleman named to All-SEC First Team
A pair of Auburn Tigers received spots on the All-SEC Preseason First Team this week. Wide receiver Cam Coleman and defensive lineman Keldric Faulk were both named to the 29-man squad by coaches in the conference. It is the first time either Tiger has been named to the preseason First Team in their respective careers. Heading into just his second season on the Plains, sophomore wide receiver Cam Coleman joined fellow second-year pass catcher Ryan Williams (Alabama) on the All-SEC First Team. Coleman had a see-saw start to his college career due in large part to injuries and a carousel, which essentially operated as a ring of fire, at the quarterback position, but found enough balance to finish his inaugural college football season strong with over 300 yards and 5 touchdowns in his final three games. The former five-star recruit ended his freshman campaign with 37 receptions, 598 yards, and a team-high 8 receiving touchdowns. A native of Phenix City, Alabama, Coleman is still just 19 years old heading into a season in which he has a chance to play himself into the Heisman Trophy conversation. Keldric Faulk opens his junior season after an absurd accession into stardom during his sophomore campaign. Faulk was a beacon of ferocious, flashing, light in an otherwise cloudy season for Auburn a year ago. Sharing the title of best pass rusher on the team with senior Jalen McLeod, Faulk turned in 45 tackles, 7 sacks, and 11 tackles for loss. The Highland Home, Alabama native took up residence in the opponent's backfield weekly, earning standout performances against Georgia (2 sacks), Alabama (2 TFL and forced fumble), and Kentucky, when he won SEC Defensive Lineman of the wood. Auburn was one of six programs in the conference to receive multiple recognitions on the All-SEC First Team. Georgia (9) led the way with Texas (3) and LSU (3) finishing ahead of Auburn (2), Florida (2) and Alabama (2).

Caitlin Clark misses another practice as Fever call her prospect of return 'status quo'
Two-time All-Star guard Caitlin Clark missed another practice with her injured right groin Wednesday, and coach Stephanie White still does not have a timetable for her star's return. Clark has not played since hurting her groin in the final minute of a game July 15 at Connecticut. Three different muscle injuries this season have forced Clark to sit out 22 games including the last 13 — and All-Star weekend in Indianapolis. The worst part: White is simply hoping Clark returns for some of her team's last nine regular-season games. Indiana also lost three other key players with season-ending injuries over the last two weeks. "Until she can get into practice and until you guys see her in practice, it's really status quo,' White said after Wednesday's workout at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Clark never missed a game in college and played in every Fever game last season when she won the WNBA's Rookie of the Year Award. Indiana spent the offseason going all-in on putting a stronger supporting cast around the former Iowa star and those moves appear to have paid off by keeping the Fever in playoff position without Clark and the rest. But Clark still has a role with the Fever. 'Caitlin's still there, like that hasn't wavered,' All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell said. 'And I think even though they're not in the lineup, we still feel everyone's presence.' ___ AP WNBA:
