News summary

Several college football teams are experiencing notable roster developments and positional strengths as they prepare for the 2025 season. South Alabama's defense, once uncertain, has become a strength thanks to experienced inside linebackers Blayne Myrick and Darius McKenzie, along with key veterans and transfers bolstering their second-level defense. Clemson's football team gained a unique addition with former basketball forward Ian Schieffelin transitioning to football, impressing coach Dabo Swinney with his athleticism and work ethic despite limited recent football experience. Southern Miss has undergone major roster changes, particularly at wide receiver, where many players transferred from Marshall along with quarterback Braylon Braxton, providing continuity in the offensive system and chemistry. Meanwhile, Southern's offensive line boasts considerable experience and continuity with several upperclassmen returners, although the left tackle position is open due to a transfer; coach Graves expressed confidence in the linemen's versatility and preparation. These developments highlight how teams are leveraging transfers, returning veterans, and cross-sport athletes to strengthen key positions heading into the season.
