Huard spent two seasons with the Huskies before transferring to FCS program Cal Poly. He passed for 2,247 yards, 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions last season for the Mustangs. Utah has star Cam Rising back for a seventh collegiate season after he missed all of 2023 with a serious knee injury. Huard figures to compete for a backup spot. "Utah has an unbelievable culture and the people and the program were some things that I felt were the best for me at this point in my career," Huard told 247Sports. "To be in a great spot and to compete every day with great people around me, being in the room and learning from one of the best quarterbacks in college football while being able to have two years in a great system was a big part of it." Huard made one start in two seasons with Washington, that coming in a 40-13 loss to Washington State in the 2021 Apple Cup. He completed 17 of 31 passes for 190 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions in that contest. In 2022, Michael Penix Jr. transferred in to be Washington's starter.

That was the second-most passing yards in a game in school history behind Seth Burford, who passed for 566 against Northern Iowa in 2000. Huard also set a school record with 37 completions in the game. Huard is the son of Damon Huard, who played at Washington and in the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is connected to another police investigation in Dallas, this time an alleged assault, WFAA and the Dallas Morning News reported Tuesday. Police view Rice as a suspect in an incident that took place outside a nightclub early Monday morning, according to the reports. A man allegedly hit a photographer, who was then taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Rice's attorney declined comment to the Morning News, and no charges were filed as of Tuesday evening. The wide receiver, who grew up in the Dallas area and played for SMU, was already in trouble in the city for his connection to a six-car crash on March 30. Rice turned himself in to police several days later and faces one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury. An arrest warrant affidavit obtained by the Morning News showed that Rice was driving 119 mph before the accident. A friend and former SMU teammate, Teddy Knox, was traveling 116 mph in a separate car, and he faces the same charges as Rice. Seven people were left with injuries, including at least one woman who sustained "serious bodily injury" and another who was stranded on the highway with her 4-year-old son for about five hours after the crash. On April 3, Rice said he took "full responsibility" for his actions related to the crash. --Field Level Media

Reports: Chiefs' Rashee Rice suspect in alleged assault in Dallas

Joe Collier, the standout defensive coordinator of Denver's famed "Orange Crush" defense, Monday night at his home in Littleton, Colo., the Broncos announced. He was 91. Collier spent 20 seasons on the Broncos' defensive staff from 1969-88, including the final 17 as defensive coordinator. "Joe Collier is one of the most impactful coaches in the history of the Denver Broncos and regarded among the best defensive coordinators of all time," the Broncos said in a statement. "He was an innovator in the NFL with his 3-4 defense, helping the Broncos to three Super Bowl appearances during a legendary career with our franchise that spanned more than two decades. "Intelligent, modest and soft-spoken, Collier provided steady leadership to five different head coaches as the Broncos emerged as perennial contenders in the 1970s and 1980s. His profound influence on countless players and coaches in Denver included 12 Broncos Ring of Famers, 11 Pro Bowl selections and 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Randy Gradishar." The Broncos made Super Bowl appearances after the 1977, 1986 and 1987 seasons with Collier running the defense. However, they went 0-3 in those games and lost by an average of 22.7 points. Collier also served as head coach of the Buffalo Bills from 1966-68 and went 13-16-1. He was fired after an 0-2 start in 1968. Collier also served as defensive coordinator of the New England Patriots in 1991-92 after his stint with the Broncos. Collier was an All-America receiver at Northwestern in 1952 before being a 22nd-round selection by the New York Giants in the 1954 NFL Draft. He didn't play pro football. --Field Level Media

Quarterback Nathan Rourke wasn't out of a job for long after being claimed off waivers by the New York Giants on Tuesday, NFL Network reported. Rourke was waived by New England on Monday as the Patriots trimmed the quarterbacks on their roster to four. The Giants are adding Rourke, who turns 26 on May 24, to a QB room that already has incumbent Daniel Jones, Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito. Rourke has not appeared in an NFL regular-season game after spending time on the Jacksonville Jaguars' active and practice squad rosters since January 2022. The Jaguars waived him in December and he was claimed by the Patriots, who re-signed him in March. A native of Canada, he played in college at the University of Ohio (2017-19) and appeared in 23 games for the Canadian Football League's BC Lions from 2021-22, throwing for 4,103 yards with 28 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. --Field Level Media

Pat Knight, the son of the late Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight, is expected to be named the next men's basketball coach at Marian, On3 reported. Marian, an NAIA program in Indianapolis, has been looking for a new coach since Scott Heady resigned April 3 after he was hired as head coach at the University of Indianapolis. And the school -- with the apt nickname of the Knights -- apparently found that replacement in Knight. The 53-year-old previously led Texas Tech (2007-11) to a 50-61 record, succeeding his father, who abruptly retired in the 2007-08 season. Pat Knight later coached Lamar (2011-14) to a 29-62 record. Since leaving Lamar, he has been a scout for the Indiana Pacers. The athletic director at Marian, Steve Downing, has deep ties to the Knight family. As a senior, he played on Bob Knight's 1972-73 Indiana team that lost to UCLA in one semifinal of the NCAA Tournament. He went on to serve in high-ranking positions in the athletic departments of both Indiana and Texas Tech. Bob Knight, who coached Army (1965-71), Indiana (1971-2000) and Texas Tech (2000-08) and won three NCAA championships with the Hoosiers, died last November at age 83. --Field Level Media

Former Seton Hall guard Kadary Richmond committed to Big East rival St. John's on Tuesday. The Brooklyn native told ESPN that the opportunity to play close to home -- and under the direction of Rick Pitino, to boot -- was an attractive one. "They were big on life after basketball and player development," Richmond said. "That stood out to me, the way they kept it real from day one. They are going to allow me to showcase my ability and become a better basketball player and person. I'd like to make a long run deep into the NCAA Tournament and eventually win a national championship. I'm ready to get to work and see what Coach Pitino has in store." Richmond said he also considered Syracuse, with which he spent the 2020-21 season, as well as Miami, Oklahoma and Southern California. The move comes one day after 6-foot point guard Deivon Smith, formerly of Utah, committed to St. John's. Smith averaged 13.3 points, 7.1 assists and 6.3 rebounds in 28 games (21 starts) for the Utes this past season, shooting 40.8 percent from the 3-point line. He averaged 18.8 points, 9.5 assists and 8.5 rebounds in the NIT, where the Utes lost in the semifinals to Indiana State. The 6-foot-6 Richmond received first-team All-Big East honors after averaging 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 35 games (34 starts) last season. He collected 21 points, 13 rebounds and five assists as the Pirates posted a 79-77 victory over Indiana State in the NIT title game on April 4. "I'll always appreciate the coaching staff at Seton Hall for giving me the freedom to put myself in this position," Richmond said. "I wish them the best." --Field Level Media

Safety C.J. Moore is returning to the Detroit Lions after serving a one-season suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy, NFL Network reported Tuesday. The deal is for one year, but financial terms of the contract were not disclosed. The Lions signed Moore as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and he played in 56 games (one start) for Detroit. He took part in at least 68 percent of the Lions' special teams snaps in each of his four seasons with the team and contributed 48 tackles, two passes defensed, an interception and a fumble recovery. The Lions released Moore, 28, in April 2023 after he was one of five NFL players -- including four Lions -- to receive suspensions for gambling violations. Wide receiver Quintez Cephus, who like Moore served a season-long ban, signed recently with the Buffalo Bills after his reinstatement. --Field Level Media
