A look at football players in the Atlantic Coast Conference this spring who are poised to have standout seasons this fall (Notre Dame, which competed in the league last season, returned to FBS independent status in 2021):
ATLANTIC DIVISION
BOSTON COLLEGE: LB Kam Arnold played in the Eagles’ secondary as a freshman last season and made a case in spring to be a starting linebacker this fall. He had 15 tackles as he played all 11 games.
CLEMSON: WR Justyn Ross is expected back after missing last year due to a serious neck injury and figures to return to the form of a potential first-round NFL draft pick he showed his first two seasons. Ross, 6-foot-4, had 46 catches for 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns in 2018, then 66 receptions for 865 yards in 2019.
Tuesday afternoon Cardinal news and notes
Share this story NET Rankings Update: No. 31 (up two). Louisville was the fourth No. 1 seed in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament seed reveal show Monday night. Newly-hired U of L offensive line coach Jack Bicknell, Jr. spoke to the media Saturday for the first time since joining the Cardinal staff.
Bicknell, who brings NFL experience to the Cardinals and a coaching pedigree, said he sees himself as a good fit for Satterfield’s offensive scheme.
“I think everybody in the country knows (the Cardinals) run the outside zone probably as good as anybody,” Bicknell said. “I felt like we did the same thing at KansasCity. When I was at the Chiefs, 2012, we had Jamaal Charles. If you took away the quarterbacks running, we led the league in actual rushing yards.”
