FOOTBALL
SOUTH CAROLINA: One-time Auburn starting quarterback Robby Ashford has committed to South Carolina, he said.
Ashford spent the past two seasons at Auburn. The 6-foot-3, 218-pound passer from Hoover, Alabama, was the Tigers’ starter in 2022. He threw for 1,613 yards with seven touchdowns and seven interceptions. Ashford also ran for 710 yards and seven scores.
Ashford was a backup in 2023 under first-year coach Hugh Freeze, appearing in 10 games with one start. He passed for 145 yards and two touchdowns last season.
ALABAMA: South Alabama Coach Kane Wommack resigned and is headed to Alabama to become defensive coordinator for Coach Kalen DeBoer.
DeBoer, who was hired away from Washington last week to replace Nick Saban, and Wommack worked together as assistants at Indiana in 2019 under Tom Allen. DeBoer was offensive coordinator and Wommack defensive coordinator.
• Maurice Linguist informed the University at Buffalo he is resigning as football coach following three seasons and after agreeing to join Kalen DeBoer’s staff at Alabama, a person familiar with discussions confirmed to The Associated Press.
Without going into detail, Buffalo AD Mark Alnutt announced Linguist’s departure in a three sentence release, adding the school had launched a national search for his replacement.
ARIZONA: Arizona has agreed to a five-year contract with San Jose State’s Brent Brennan to be the Wildcats’ next coach, a person with direct knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.
Brennan replaces Jedd Fisch, who left for Washington on Sunday, and is the latest domino to fall since Nick Saban announced his retirement at Alabama.
IOWA: Receivers coach Kelton Copeland has been fired, defensive coordinator Phil Parker received a significant raise, and Seth Wallace has been named assistant head coach.
Coach Kirk Ferentz also said his search for an offensive coordinator is continuing.
Copeland coached the receivers for seven years. The Hawkeyes have had one of the least productive offenses for three straight seasons, and no receiver ranked among the top 30 in the Big Ten in 2023.
