Top TE recruit Milan Richard, Herschel Walker's nephew (Rivals.com)

There might not be another player in college football history more revered and more synonymous with his school than Herschel Walker is at Georgia.

Maybe a case can be made for Tim Tebow at Florida, Doug Flutie at Boston College, Robert Griffin III at Baylor or a similar legendary player, but let's agree that when we think about Herschel Walker, we think about Georgia (or, perhaps, a NFL history-altering trade made by the Vikings and Cowboys ... or maybe the New Jersey Generals).

So when Walker's nephew, from Savannah, Ga., became a top-10 tight end recruit in the high school class of 2014, it was a slam dunk where he was headed to college, right? Oh, not to mention that the young man's parents were both All-American track athletes at Georgia.

Not so fast.

(Rivals.com)Ashely Lowery, a starting safety for Kentucky as a sophomore last year, was involved in a car accident according to Rivals.com and other reports.

According to CatsIllustrated.com, the accident happened in Georgia, which is Lowery's home state. The exact details of his condition are unknown. Teammates are asking for prayers for Lowery.

Kyle Tucker of the Courier-Journal reported that Lowery crashed his 2006 Altima at 4 a.m., the car overturned several times and he was thrown 100 feet.

The CatsIllustrated.com story said Lowery had returned home at the end of the semester.

There were many messages of well wishes for Lowery on Twitter:

This offseason we will count down various topics from Monday through Friday, bringing you the top five of the important and definitely some not so important issues in college football. It's the Doc Five, every week until we will thankfully have actual games to discuss.

PLAYERS WITH THE MOST TO LOSE OR GAIN BEFORE 2014 DRAFT

NO. 1, TEDDY BRIDGEWATER

There was a lesson to be learned from the draft class of 2013. Quarterbacks are in the most danger of being over-scrutinized in the draft process and having their draft stock drop like a rock.

Tyler Wilson was once predicted as the first pick of the 2013 draft. Matt Barkley was also predicted by some to be the first pick in the 2013 draft. Landry Jones hurt his stock more than he helped it the more college games he played. They all dropped to the fourth round. NFL teams aren't much different than everyone else. The quarterback will always get too much credit for wins, and too much blame for losses.

Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater is the hot pick to be the first quarterback taken in the 2014 draft. Now comes the hard part: Holding onto that distinction while the NFL scouts search every bit of film for flaws.

Bridgewater hasn't shown too many flaws yet. He has good size. His performance with a seriously sprained ankle and broken wrist against Rutgers last year was legendary, proving he has the toughness to play in the NFL. The Cardinals and Bridgewater likely don't have a chance to have their impressive performance against Florida in the Sugar Bowl without him playing through injury at Rutgers.

Bridgewater isn't a running quarterback but has a great knack for moving in the pocket to buy enough time to throw. And his throws are accurate and strong. At the moment, there's no reason to believe Bridgewater won't be the first quarterback taken

We're not really sure why a two-year-old highlight reel of 1988 Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders has started to go viral this week, but we're not complaining.

The blog BarkingCarnival.com posted the video, and it took off from there. It has been since posted again by many other blogs, and as of Friday morning had climbed to more than 48,000 views. The video is, as you would imagine, tremendous.

Sanders is one of the greatest NFL running backs of all time. He produced what is quite possibly the greatest single season in college football history, as he rushed for 2,850 yards and had 44 total touchdowns for Oklahoma State. And from the looks of the video, he was just as unstoppable at Wichita North High School.

Institutions that are entrusted with some of the oldest and most famous venues in sports face a problem.

When stadiums like Wrigley Field, Fenway Park and Lambeau Field were built, luxury suites and corporate areas weren't a consideration. So teams wrestle with the problem of renovating to add revenue generators like luxury suites without losing the history or charm of the stadium. The Packers did fairly well with the Lambeau Field expansion over the years, as did the Red Sox with Fenway. The Cubs seem intent on screwing up modernizing Wrigley Field, which makes sense since it's the Cubs.

Notre Dame is exploring ideas to add to its famous stadium, and in the announcement of the plans its easy to see some of the conflicts the school is wrestling with.

Notre Dame's plan, which is still very preliminary, seems to be centered around building around the stadium rather than change the inside of the stadium. The Associated Press story said the first step is to explore the possibility of adding "more than 3,000 seats in new buildings that would rise up over the sides of the stadium." This will have to be done in a way that doesn't cheapen Notre Dame Stadium, built in 1930, mind you.

In the conceptual sketch there are

(@UT_MackBrown)In retrospect, at least North Carolina, Ohio State and Georgia gave out rings for winning half a conference championship.

At the time, we had no idea Mack Brown was planning to give out rings to Texas players for winning a forgettable Dec. 29 bowl and creating "momentum" for the 2013 season. Yeah, seriously.

Just gave guys their Bowl Champ rings. Told them It's reward 4 winning Bowl game vs #13 Oregon St &momentum for 2013 twitter.com/UT_MackBrown/s…

— Mack Brown (@UT_MackBrown) May 2, 2013

At this point we'll throw our hands up in the air. If Texas – one of the storied programs in sports, which has a national title in the last 10 years and won at least 10 games every season from 2001-2009 – is giving out rings for an Alamo Bowl win, we give up.

Texas was 9-4 last year and finished tied for third in the Big 12 with a 5-4 record. The Longhorns lost to West Virginia and TCU at home. It was dominated by Oklahoma and Kansas State. The Alamo Bowl win against Oregon State was very nice, and Brown is correct that it created some momentum for the program into the offseason. But it was more of a consolation win, not a ring-worthy win.

This should be above Texas, right? They are the University of Texas Longhorns. In terms of revenue, facilities, tradition and in-state talent, it's arguable nobody has an easier time recruiting than Texas. With all of the advantages Texas has, a four-loss season is pretty much a failure, not a reason to pass out huge

PLAYERS WITH THE MOST TO LOSE OR GAIN BEFORE 2014 DRAFT

NO. 2 AUSTIN SEFERIAN-JENKINS

Washington's Austin Seferian-Jenkins was set to be one of the first tight ends taken in the 2014 NFL draft, if he wanted to go pro a year early. There was a good chance he'd be the first tight off the board with another good season.

He's physically imposing at 6-6, 266 pounds, and has already set many of Washington's career and single-season records for a tight end after just two seasons. As a freshman and a sophomore, Seferian-Jenkins had 110 catches, 1,388 yards and 13 touchdowns. Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert, who is listed at 6-6 and 251 pounds, had 117 catches, 1,488 yards and nine touchdowns as a junior and senior. Eifert was the only tight end taken in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft.

Of course, now there's something else for NFL teams to consider that has nothing to do with Seferian-Jenkins' ability to block or catch, and has left him suspended from Washington for the time being.

Like Big League Stew mentioned before, the news of the death of Chris Kelly from the 1990s rap group Kris Kross was tough to hear.

"Warm It Up," "I Missed the Bus," "I'm Real," we fondly remember all of those songs from back in the day. It was stunning and sad to hear Kelly had passed away at such a young age.

Since BLS dealt with Kris Kross' impact in the sports apparel field, we felt the best way to honor Kelly is to apply their biggest hit, "Jump," to the college football world.

Here are some of our favorite "jumps" from college football in recent memory, because Ortege Jenkins'll make ya ...
