Texas has landed a transfer at a key position of need, with former Louisville defensive lineman Jermayne Lole announcing on social media Thursday that he has flipped his commitment from Oklahoma to the Longhorns.

Lole, who is entering his seventh season of college football, began his career in 2018 at Arizona State and played in 23 games in his first two seasons there. He missed the 2021 season with a triceps injury, then transferred to Louisville. After appearing in one game in 2022, Lole made 12 appearances last year with 19 tackles and 1.5 sacks. His best season came in 2019 at Arizona State, where he had 71 tackles (10 for loss) with 6.5 sacks.

The 6-foot-2, 305-pound Lole will join Arizona transfers Bill Norton and Tiaoalii Savea as Texas tries to buffer the losses of first-round pick Byron Murphy II and second-rounder T’Vondre Sweat. After Texas’ spring game April 20, coach Steve Sarkisian highlighted defensive line as a spot where he still wasn’t happy with the team’s numbers.

“I think obviously the depth on the defensive line is not where we need it to be, and so hopefully we can address that,” Sarkisian said. “We don’t have enough bodies. There’s not enough big humans. It’s simple math, so we’ve got to address it.”

Texas added UTSA star defensive end Trey Moore earlier in the spring along with five-star recruit Colin Simmons. The Longhorns also have a key returning player in defensive tackle Alfred Collins, who came back for his final season after appearing in 48 career games with six starts.

Former Colorado tailback Alton McCaskill has committed to transfer to Arizona State, he told ESPN. McCaskill expects to have three years of eligibility remaining for the Sun Devils, as he has taken a medical redshirt and a traditional one the past two years.

After playing just four games for Colorado last season, McCaskill will emerge as an option at tailback for Arizona State as he tries to recapture the form from his breakout 2021 freshman season at the University of Houston.

McCaskill had 14 carries for 59 yards at Colorado in those four games last season before asking coach Deion Sanders to be redshirted. Sanders granted that wish. McCaskill missed the 2022 season after tearing his ACL in the spring of 2022.

That came in the wake of a promising opening season at Houston in 2021, when he earned AAC Rookie of the Year honors. He ran for 961 yards and hauled in 113 receiving yards. His 16 rushing touchdowns that season led all true freshmen and set Houston’s true freshman record for rushing touchdowns. He accounted for 18 total touchdowns for the Cougars.

McCaskill came to UH as a four-star recruit in the class of 2021. His scholarship offer sheet lists USC, Oklahoma State and many of the top programs in the country.

He’ll join a talented running back room at Arizona State, which is headlined by senior Cam Skattebo, who rushed for 783 yards and nine touchdowns last season for the Sun Devils after transferring from Sacramento State.

The Los Angeles Angels acquired infielder Luis Guillorme from the Atlanta Braves on Thursday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

The Angels transferred third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) to the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man roster.

Guillorme, 29, signed a one-year, $1.1 million deal with the Braves in January after playing parts of six seasons with the New York Mets.

Guillorme is batting .150 with three RBIs in 10 games this season. He is a career .258 hitter with five homers and 51 RBIs in 345 games with the Braves and Mets (2018-23).

Rendon, 33, was batting .267 with no home runs, three RBIs and three stolen bases in 19 games before the injury.

He is in the fifth season of a seven-year, $245 million contract but has appeared in just 219 games with the Angels. His 58 games in 2021 were his most in a season wearing an Angels uniform.
