USF Bulls' Spring Game: New Talent, Old Stadium

The University of South Florida Bulls are set to hold their spring football game on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. This event serves as a crucial evaluation for Head Coach Brian Hartline and his staff, allowing them to assess player performance. It also aims to generate excitement among fans for the upcoming regular season opener on September 5 against FIU. This season will be the Bulls' last at Raymond James Stadium, with a move to an on-campus home planned for 2027. The game will feature a unique scoring format, awarding points for first downs, turnovers, and defensive stops, in addition to traditional touchdowns.

The quarterback competition is a major focus, with LSU transfer Michael Van Buren and Mississippi State transfer Luke Kromenhoek under scrutiny. However, Coach Hartline has indicated that a final decision on the starting quarterback will not be made until summer camp. The wide receiver corps has also seen significant changes, with the addition of several transfers including Bryson Rodgers, Cam Seldon, Jaron Glover, Armani Winfield, and Arhmad Branch, aiming to bolster the unit alongside returning player Mudia Reuben. The team, which includes 41 new players from the Transfer Portal, is building on the foundation laid by former coach Alex Golesh, who led the Bulls to nine regular-season wins last year, their most since 2017.
