COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS AND NOTES



Arkansas DT Marcus Harrison likely will miss at least the team’s season opener against Troy. The 6-3, 310-pound Harrison, a second-tier prospect for the upcoming draft, hurt his left knee at a practice in March when he suffered torn cartilage and a bone bruise.....

Texas sophomore LB Sergio Kindle, one of the best young players in college football at the position, was arrested over the weekend and charged with driving while intoxicated.....

North Carolina State TE Anthony Hill, who had been considered an emerging prospect for the 2008 draft, will miss the upcoming season after undergoing reconstructive knee surgery earlier this week. Team doctors reportedly discovered Hill had a damaged ACL that required surgery.....

LSU RB Alley Broussard, who had once been considered a top draft prospect, has announced that he is quitting football. Broussard though will remain in school and expects to graduate later this year. Broussard finished his career with over 1,500 career yards rushing and 18 TDs, but it could have been so much more. Broussard, in fact, started ahead of former Tiger Joseph Addai, Indianapolis’ #1 pick in 2006 who helped the Colts win the Super Bowl, but hurt a knee in 2005 and has barely played since.
