Back on December 21st, Stanford football lost a commitment from Nevada transfer offensive lineman Tyson Ruffins, who announced on X (Twitter) that he was committing to Cal instead. Ruffins is a talented offensive lineman who is coming off a strong redshirt freshman season for the Wolfpack, making his loss significant for the Cardinal.

Ruffins has since deleted his tweet signaling his commitment to Cal while his commitment tweet to Stanford has stayed up. This has created some confusion of as to what his status is with respect to both Stanford and Cal. While I cannot speak for the Cal side of things, I can confirm that Ruffins has not flipped his commitment back to Stanford.

Stanford has since been looking to find other offensive line prospects who can take the spot that Ruffins was originally going to have. They were able to add one today in Georgia Tech transfer Kai Greer, who once verbally committed to Stanford as part of their 2024 class before flipping to Arkansas and then later flipping to Georgia Tech. Stanford extended an offer to him shortly after he entered the transfer portal at the end of December. I’ll share more thoughts on Greer in a separate article, so stay tuned for that.

Cortez Braham is headed to Lexington next week. The Nevada wide receiver transfer has set his visit to Kentucky.

The 6-foot-2, 192-pound wideout will take an official visit to Memphis from Jan. 6-8. He will then arrive in Kentucky for his visit on Jan. 8th.

“I know they’re just getting over there to the school, but me, him, and Coach Bush have been talking about the role I can play if I do decide to commit to them,” Braham told KSR+ on Friday.

Braham Talks Kentucky

Cortez Braham has been mainly in contact with Kentucky wide receiver coach L’Damien Washington since entering the portal. He’s also starting to hear from UK’s offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan.

“They were talking about how important I am to their offense. They’re talking about getting me on a visit to really get to know the rest of the staff.”

Kentucky has already added two wide receiver transfers this offseason. The Cats are bringing in Oklahoma transfer JJ Hester and Alabama transfer Kendrick Law.

“Personally, I feel like I play anywhere in the offense: inside, outside. It really doesn’t matter where they put me,” he said. “I’m very versatile. I can play a good part in their offense, being able to go anywhere on the field to make a play.”

Cortez Braham’s Game

Nevada transfer wide receiver Cortez Braham finished the 2024 season with 56 receptions for 724 yards and four touchdowns. He also had one carry for one yard.

“My greatest strengths are that I’m a very good route runner and I catch the ball really well,” Braham said. “Those two attributes set me apart from most receivers.”

Braham is looking to improve his tracking downfield. He also wants to be more consistent with “50-50 balls.”

“I need to make sure I turn those 50-50 balls more my way,” he said.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – Nelly Junior Joseph grabbed a loose ball and knocked down a jumper from just inside the free throw line as time expired in overtime to lift New Mexico to an 82-81 win over Nevada on Friday night.

Joseph posted his 50th career double-double for the Lobos, putting up 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Donovan Dent scored 20 points and dished six assists and Mustapha Amzil contributed 14 points.

Kobe Sanders scored 21 points and Davidson scored 18 points with six rebounds, five blocked shots and four assists to lead Nevada. Tre Coleman contributed 12 points and Justin McBride added 11 points off the bench.
