Minnesota signed linebacker/defensive lineman Robert Fuentes, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound product of Central Oklahoma, along with defensive back Jalen Hicks, a 5-9, 175-pound Central Washington alum.

Oregon added depth in the secondary with the signing of Nick Brassell, a 6-2, 180-pound defensive back who played at Ole Miss.

Two players were released Wednesday. Beaumont cut Jake Oliphant, a 6-5, 300-pound offensive lineman from South Dakota, and Minnesota released defensive back Dontae Mason, a 5-8, 175-pound Delaware Valley product.
