Info for college football fans:

The NCAA has approved a rule change in an attempt to limit teams faking injuries in order to obtain an advantage.

The new rule states that if medical personnel enters the field to check on an injured player after the ball has been spotted for the next play, the team will be charged with a timeout. If that team does not have any timeouts remaining, it will be assessed a 5-yard delay-of-game penalty.

The change will go into effect this upcoming season.

With the new rule change, teams will have a very quick turnaround before a timeout will be enforced. If a player is on the ground shortly after a play ends and medical personnel makes it onto the field before the ball is spotted, no timeout will be enforced and it'll be a break in the action.

However, in a situation where a player goes down late, it'll cost the opponent a timeout or penalty.

Tommy Leach has resigned as football coach at Jurupa Valley. He will be replaced by Cade Sparks, a former quarterback at Summit.

Carson Palmer is returning to high school to be the head football coach at Santa Margarita. He was a volunteer freshman quarterback coach for the Eagles last season when his son played quarterback for the team.

In another big coaching announcement, Malcolm Manuel has resigned after four years as football coach at Narbonne, which won the City Section Open Division championship but was also placed on probation and made ineligible for next season’s playoffs after seven ineligible players were discovered.

Stephen Barbee has resigned after seven years as football coach at Long Beach Poly. That opens one of the top public school coaching positions in the Southland.

Dave Ramos, the football coach at Schurr for 10 years, has resigned.

Garfield has named former quarterback Patrick Vargas as its replacement for Lorenzo Hernandez. Vargas served as the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator, is a teacher on campus and has lots of support. He’s 33 and is getting his dream job after years of training under Hernandez.

Bryan Bartley is the new boys’ basketball coach at West Ranch. He has coached on the East Coast and helped out as a scout last season for Heritage Christian.

Josh Beaty is leaving Fountain Valley to become the boys’ basketball coach at Edison.

Greg Fontenette is the new boys’ basketball coach at Valencia, replacing Bill Bedgood, who has retired. Fontenette was an assistant coach.

Per Jeremy Birmingham • DottingTheEyes Recruiting Analyst
The long-time Buckeyes commitment announced via social media that he'll be shutting down his recruitment entirely and no longer take official visits—or visits of any kind—to any school except Ohio State.

"Officially shutting my recruitment down," Henry tweeted. "I'm 100 percent locked in and ready to work."

The 6-foot-5, 190-pound wideout from Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) High School has been the subject of an almost nonstop barrage of speculation around his recruitment. That buzz has been amplified in recent months but really took off when he moved from Withrow (Cincinnati) High School to Mater Dei as West Coast programs like Oregon and USC applied pressure at every turn.

The Ducks, Trojans and the Miami Hurricanes all had designs on flipping the country's No. 4-ranked receiver but the interest from those schools—and planned official visits to each—wasn't enough to move Henry off his choice. He picked the Buckeyes on July 28, 2023 because of his connection to Brian Hartline and despite all the talk about other programs, it was that bond that mattered the most.

"[Ohio State] is hard to turn down," Henry said the night of his commitment to Ohio State. "It's perfect for me. It fits me. It's a moment I was waiting for.

"It's an amazing feel for a school like this to have me as a priority."

The Buckeyes offered Henry before he played a game in high school. Hartline was able to coach him up in a one-day recruiting camp in the summer of 2022 and made sure he knew he was the guy for Ohio State for the next year until he committed and has done that every day in the two years since.

For Hartline, it's another instance of his remarkable ability to to build relationships that outlast the fluff that so often surrounds the recruitment of big-name prospects these days. He does that through honest talk and direct communication of expectations with the players that have committed to him and his vision for their future.

Ohio State will host Chris Henry Jr. for his official visit in June but he will return to Columbus over the weekend of April 5.
