Before Sunday night’s loss against Memphis, USF baseball rattled off eight straight wins. Now, the Bulls (19-11, 7-2 AAC) find themselves on a two-game slide after losing to Stetson 3-1 on Tuesday night.

Five months later – besides the chain-link fencing surrounding the area – not much has changed at Sycamore Fields, the future site of USF’s planned $340 million stadium that will house its football and women’s lacrosse teams. The crane staged at the groundbreaking ceremony appeared to still be there. So did the mound of dirt that USF’s top brass dug their shovels into on Nov. 8.

USF wide receiver Sean Atkins has always been the underdog. As a walk-on in 2019, he fought tooth and nail to earn a starting position. He worked a part-time job as a food runner before he earned a scholarship. It took four seasons for him to even catch a touchdown. Now, he could hear his name called during the NFL draft next month. Atkins was one of 15 Bulls to perform in front of NFL Scouts at USF’s Pro Day on Wednesday.
