Hello, Spring Practice!
We were able to see 20 minutes or so of today's opening practice. While we didn't see much, here are some observations:
OFFENSE
- Payton Thorne was taking first snaps with Jarquez Hunter, while Holden Geriner followed with Damari Alston. Hank Brown was third. Nothing really stood out except Holden and Walker White missed a couple of throws. For White, it could be first-practice jitters.
- Caleb Burton made a good catch on the sidelines. He followed Koy Moore in drills, who was then followed by Jay Fair, Camden Brown, Dylan Gentry, Bryce Cain, Camden Brown, Cam'Ron King, Colby Stafford and Robert Lewis.
- White looks like an SEC quarterback in build.
- Percy Lewis, new offensive tackle from Mississippi State is a huge man.
- Coleman stands out above all the other receivers in height. He's college-ready.
DEFENSE
- Josh Aldridge and Vontrell King-Williams were working with defensive ends/tackles and the JACK linebackers. Among those JACKs was freshman Joe Phillips. He also was working at DE.
- King-Williams is very vocal. If someone doesn't do a drill right, they must do it again. Typical first-day stuff. But he would find one detail that every player needed to work on.
- Keldric Faulk looks really big. A stud and had some good reps.
- DJ Durkin was working directly with the linebackers while Crime is working with cornerbacks. Charles Kelly was working with safeties.
- Terrence Love has put on some muscle as has Champ Anthony.
