Cameron Marshall - RB - Sun Devils

Cameron Marshall could leave ASU with lofty credentials.

Coach Todd Graham has had plenty of good things to say about Marshall. As well he should. Coming off a season in which he ran for 1,050 yards and 18 touchdowns, Marshall could crack the Sun Devils’ top five in career rushing yards in 2012. Should he reach the 1,000-yard plateau again, it will be his second such season. Only two other ASU backs in the post-WWII era have had multiple 1,000-yard campaigns.

Zach Boren - FB - Buckeyes

Coach Urban Meyer says fullback Zach Boren will handle the football more this season.

In three years with the Buckeyes, Boren has exactly one tote. That will change in 2012. The fullback dropped some weight (listed at 246), impressed Meyer with his work this spring and is deserving of an opportunity to receive more touches. Boren is 20-151-1 receiving in his career.

Reggie Pegram - RB - Mean Green

Purdue transfer Reggie Pegram intends to apply for a hardship waiver.

The Dallas high school star is returning home after two seasons with the Boilermakers and he hopes he can take the field in 2012. Citing family health issues, the running back will apply for a hardship waiver from the NCAA so that he can play immediately instead of waiting for the 2013 season. Regardless, he will be the second Pegram to play for the Mean Green. His cousin, Erric, was a star running back with UNT before spending eight seasons in the NFL. Reggie Pegram had only 168 yards from scrimmage last season with Purdue, but scored touchdowns rushing and receiving in the Little Caesars Bowl against Western Michigan.

Ray Graham - RB - Panthers

Ray Graham should be fully healed and ready to go for preseason practice.

Pitt coach Paul Chryst revealed the expectation for Graham during ACC meetings Tuesday. Graham was the nation’s second-leading rusher in yards per game before he was felled by a knee injury in late October. What remains to be seen is if he is able to maintain his speed and cutting ability, but it is great news for Pitt fans that everything is a go with preseason practice three months hence.

Mike Bellamy - RB - Tigers

Academic shortcomings render Mike Bellamy ineligible for 2012 season, will leave Clemson.

A highly-regarded recruit, Bellamy saw some playing time as a freshman last season backing up starter Andre Ellington. However, after appearing in each of the Tigers’ regular season games, discipline issues cost him the ACC title game and the Orange Bowl. Bellamy, who says he will transfer to a junior college, ran for 343 yards (6.0 ypc) and 3 touchdowns.

Corbin Berkstresser - QB - Tigers

Corbin Berkstresser was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident.

The incident involved hitting a parked car and there were no injuries. It seems like a simple case that will not linger. That is a good thing because leaving the scene of an accident is a felony and, according to university police, an athlete cannot return to action until a felony case is resolved. Berkstresser was the Tigers’ No. 1 QB during the spring while starter James Franklin was shelved due to injury. Berkstresser, who will be a redshirt freshman, was on the scout team last fall.

DeVondrick Nealy - RB - Cyclones

Spring practice was valuable for DeVondrick Nealy.

Nealy was the scout team’s offensive player of the year in 2011 and he wants that experience to translate into opportunities with the Cyclones’ running game in 2012. Coach Paul Rhoads was pleased with the Nealy’s spring – as well as that of another young RB, Rob Standard – which concluded with 28 yards rushing and a reception in the spring game.

Aaron Green - RB - Horned Frogs

Aaron Green announced that he will transfer to TCU.

Feeling he did not fit into the Cornhuskers’ scheme, the running back indicated late last month that he was leaving Nebraska, though he did not reveal where he was headed. The Texas native will be closer to home and play in what he feels will be s system better suited to his skills. Unless Green petitions the NCAA for a waiver, he will have to sit out the 2012 season. That timing could prove beneficial as, among TCU’s leading running backs from a year ago, only Waymon James will still be around.
