    Jaylon Glover, Jai’Den “Jet” Thomas and UNLV running backs coach Adrian Mayes spoke with the media after practice as the Rebels continue fall camp.

Thomas discussed the running back room’s depth, his chemistry with Glover, the group’s “erasers” mentality, special teams, kickoff return work, pass protection, adding weight and why he is focused on proving himself this season. Mayes closed by discussing the competition in the room, how Thomas, Glover and DJ Jones all bring different styles, what Thomas needs to show to become an NFL back, the importance of pass protection and why the running backs call themselves “mechanics” because they fix problems when things break down.

    UNLV Fall Camp Update: QB Battle, Eligibility Returns and Position Battles

    UNLV fall camp is underway, and the Rebels have several major questions to sort through before the 2026 season. On this episode of Rebel Daily Drive, Mike Cooper and Michael Matsumoto break down what they have seen through the first six practices of fall camp, including the quarterback competition between Jackson Arnold and Alex Orji, why the battle is still open, how Derek Garcia and Sebastian Circo fit into the room, and why Dan Mullen may not rush to name a starter before the Memphis opener. The guys also dive into the latest eligibility situation and what it could mean for UNLV football and basketball. Cohen Fuller is back on the roster and practicing, while Laterrance Welch and Donovan Spellman could still become major defensive additions if the compliance path opens. On the basketball side, Kimani Hamilton and Al Green remain names to watch as the class-of-2022 eligibility ruling continues to create questions across college athletics. The episode also covers UNLV’s running back depth with Jai’Den “Jet” Thomas, Jaylon Glover, Cameron Williams and Darrien Jones; the wide receiver room led by Taeshaun Lyons; the tight end competition with Kenyon Burnett, Valtteri Jefferson and Matt Byrnes; offensive line movement; local walk-ons; and why Paul Guenther’s defense looks more comfortable entering year two in the system.

    Josh Pastner’s UNLV “For Sale” Pitch, NCAA Eligibility Ruling & Possible Returns

    UNLV basketball is not for sale, but Josh Pastner’s $10 million NIL pitch put the Runnin’ Rebels in the national conversation. On this episode of Rebel Daily Drive, Mike Cooper breaks down Pastner’s “owner” comments, UNLV basketball’s social media campaign, why the university had to clarify that the program is not actually for sale, and what Pastner was really trying to say about NIL, donor support and the cost of competing in modern college basketball. The episode also covers the latest NCAA eligibility ruling tied to the class of 2022 and what it could mean for UNLV.

Mike also discusses Cohen Fuller’s eligibility situation, how Welch and Spellman would impact UNLV football, what Hamilton would mean for Josh Pastner’s roster, and why all of this still depends on compliance review, roster limits and the details of each player’s situation.
