B/R 5th Down: Trick Shot Videos and Top CFB Social Stories of the Week

Editor's Note: Bleacher Report's 5th Down captures the top social college football stories of the week. As the long, bitter offseason continues, we'll focus on moments from the schools, coaches and players that kept us entertained as we wait for actual college football to make its long-awaited return.

1. SJSU's QB and Florida's kicker show they've got range

It's trick shot season, the time of the offseason when college football players perform some crazy challenge with a ball and try to set social media ablaze with videos of it.

Distance was the name of the game for San Jose State quarterback Kenny Potter, who was taped chucking a football from the top of Spartan Stadium into a trash can sitting on the sidelines:

The field-level angle of the trick shot is quite impressive, as it shows just how narrow of a gap he needed to hit with his toss at a high elevation. Accuracy is Potter's thing when he's not throwing to trash cans, too, as he completed 67.4 percent of his passes in 2015.

This past week, new Florida kicker Eddy Pineiro showed he wasn't going to take it easy this summer by drilling a 64-yard field goal on a practice field:

Pineiro, who commanded huge applause from Florida fans in the Gators' spring game last month by hitting attempts from 56, 52 and 46 yards out, isn't new to these distance-kicking videos. While he was a recruit, Pineiro hit a jaw-dropping 72-yard field goal that made him an overnight sensation.

After seeing those distance shots from both coasts, we just have one question—who's next? Get your cell phone cameras ready.

2. Baker Mayfield takes his dance moves to a new sport

Before leading Oklahoma to a Big 12 title and a College Football Playoff berth last season, Baker Mayfield first captured the Internet's attention as a Sooner by hitting some absolutely perfect whips:

Football has its famous touchdown dances, but it's not a sport that can fully unlock Mayfield's potential for moving and/or grooving. Gymnastics, on the other hand, can.

According to Jenni Carlson of the Oklahoman, Oklahoma filmed several videos for a recent athletic awards night that featured Sooner athletes switching sports. Members of OU's national championship gymnastics team played football, while Mayfield and former teammate Nila Kasitati tried gymnastics.

Mayfield performed a choreographed floor routine, and it was as spectacular as expected:

Notice the determination in his eyes on those early moves and that final cat pose. Look at the form on his cartwheels and forward rolls. And he definitely knows how to stick his landings.

So whenever Mayfield finds the end zone later this fall for Oklahoma, keep an eye on any celebration techniques he picked up during his time on the mat this spring. His moves have developed past the unbeatable whip.

3. Jim Harbaugh is all about those dingers and dabs

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is a football machine, but he has time every now and then for a little baseball. He coached first base for the Oakland A's in a spring training game last year, and he did the same for the Detroit Tigers this spring.

Now Harbaugh is focusing on his skills playing on the diamond more than coaching on it. He practiced for a charity home run derby with the Michigan softball team, cranking some home runs off a tee while wearing his signature khakis:

And, of course, he had to celebrate one of his bombs with the dab—the dance move popularized by his good friends in Migos:

Unfortunately for Harbaugh, his dabs wouldn't extend to the actual derby. According to Jackson Alexander of ESPN.com, Harbaugh didn't hit a single home run in his showdown with Rick Leach, a former MLB player who also played quarterback for Michigan.

But if a rematch happens, rest assured that Harbaugh will attack it with "Enthusiasm Unknown to Mankind."

4. Bret Bielema is going global

While the SEC wasn't in support of satellite camps throughout this offseason's biggest debate, they're now going to be a reality for the 14 head coaches in the conference.

One of those head coaches, who is not shy about making headlines with his quotes, has huge plans for his camps down the road, per Bleacher Report's Barrett Sallee: 

Just the thought of international satellite camps with Bret Bielema sent Twitter into a brief frenzy. Here are the best destination ideas for the Hogs from the college football corner of the Internet:

Bielema is already ahead of the last suggestion, which was posted by Dan Wolken of USA Today. As David Ching of ESPN.com noted on Twitter, Arkansas currently has Hjalte Froholdt, an offensive lineman originally from Svendborg, Denmark, on its roster via Florida's famed IMG Academy.

It may sound like a joke now, but don't be totally surprised in a few years when entire European countries know how to do the "Woo Pig Sooie" chant.

5. Boise State's stadium is still not a lake

One of college football's best quirks popped its head up on social media last week thanks to an A-plus tweet from Boise State.

There's an urban legend that birds fly into the blue turf at what is now Albertsons Stadium at Boise State—sometimes to great injury—thinking it's a lake. The Broncos are here to remind all types of fowl that this just isn't the case:

Boise State isn't the only college football team in the country that has a non-green field, though. Since the 5th Down is a friend to all creatures, here's a helpful guide to any geese, ducks and birds who might be flying over in the future:

• Boise State's blue turf IS NOT a lake. (Neither is Division II school New Haven's blue turf.)
• Eastern Washington's red turf IS NOT a gaping pit of lava. (Not that birds would try to land in that.)
• Eastern Michigan's gray turf IS NOT a giant parking lot.
• Central Arkansas' purple and gray turf IS NOT a trippy scene caused by the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland.

Be aware and be prepared, birds.

6. UCF hired an Oregon coach and got some Oregon uniforms

New UCF head coach Scott Frost used to lead players who wore seemingly countless uniform combinations during his days as the Oregon offensive coordinator. Now his new players will get close to the same treatment from Nike.

UCF's new duds include white, gold, anthracite and pewter options for helmets and black, white, anthracite and pewter jerseys and pants. Those choices give the Knights 64 different uniform combinations.

That means a UCF player could make it all the way to the College Football Playoff National Championship each year for all four seasons of his eligibility and still never have to repeat a uniform.

According to Shannon Green of the Orlando Sentinel, the uniforms also include player names—something the Knights haven't had on the back of their jerseys since 2004. 

With a slick sword design on the new helmets and some striking jersey numbers, the Knights are definitely going to look better on the field in Frost's first season in Orlando. 

7. Freeze fires in an eagle and Dabo dances with a cow

The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge is a highlight of the offseason in the Southeast, as coaches from the SEC, ACC and some Group of Five conferences team up with celebrities to raise money in a charity golf challenge.

The golf action itself was good this year, as Bleacher Report's Barrett Sallee wrote in his piece from this past week's event in Greensboro, Georgia. Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze helped his team take home the victory with a stunning eagle from 150 yards out:

But that wasn't the most viral video from the event.

That happened off the course, when Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney led the way in a Running Man Challenge featuring Mississippi State legend Fred McCrary, former Heisman winner Andre Ware and a Chick-fil-A cow mascot:

What Swinney lacks in foot speed for the average Running Man Challenge entry, the dance-happy coach makes up for it with what he can do with his hands. He's locked in during this video, refusing to let the former NFLers or the giant cow one-up him.

May this trend never die.

8. And, finally, this recruit posts one of the strangest commitment videos of all time 

Meet Logan Rudolph. He's a 4-star weak-side defensive end from Rock Hill, South Carolina.

Over the weekend, Rudolph decided to announce his commitment to play for the in-state Clemson Tigers. But he didn't do a big ceremony with all the hats. He didn't shoot a long video with dramatic music, either.

Instead, he posted a short Twitter video of him chopping a tree, thanking his family and coaches, nonchalantly saying he'll attend Clemson and then continuing to chop said tree:

"

I have officially committed to... pic.twitter.com/5Hkjs4cFb8

— Logan Rudolph (@Logan4Rudolph) May 7, 2016"

He's also doing these things while wearing some short shorts as "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins plays in the background.

Of all the commitment announcements I've ever seen, this is definitely the most bizarre one in my memory. However, I have a feeling Rudolph is going to be a real force in the trenches for Clemson down the road. He's obviously got all the confidence in the world.

Justin Ferguson is a National College Football Analyst at Bleacher Report, and now he can't get "Danger Zone" out of his head. You can follow him on Twitter @JFergusonBR.
