The NCAA is reportedly considering a "5 for 5" rule that gives athletes 5 years of eligibility to compete. The exceptions are extremely limited, but BYU would not be forgotten.

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses Ohio State's star WR Jeremiah Smith saying he could have gotten $10 million to transfer out of Columbus. Who would offer that?

Clemson heads into 2026 looking to put Dabo Swinney's tampering/transfer debacle with LB Luke Ferrelli behind them. Can they bounce back after a massive letdown in 2025?
