BUFFSBLOG BITES: NEXT MAN UP AFTER ZACK OWENS DEPARTURE AND BASKETBALL NOTES

#75 Zack Owens is hitting the transfer portal. I audibly groaned when reading the news that offensive guard Zack Owens is entering the transfer portal.

Xavier Hill was on the Outland Trophy watch list last season. This past week I published “What We’re Hearing About the Offense” and “What We’re Hearing About the Defense” to detail how the team is looking in spring practice.  Those posts are going to be obsolete in another month or two.
