Practice kicks off in 15 minutes. Will have updates from the start in the thread here. 

 

AD Chris Del Conte was at the practice fields this morning for a quick check in.  

First pre-practice OL drill is stunt/twist pickup. LG/LT and RG/RT working together as ‘DL’ give a look at twisting after the ball is snapped.  

Still just helmet and shoulder pads. Players are in shorts with full pads expected to come soon this week. 

Connor Stroh remains the largest of the offensive linemen from a measurable stance. Listed at 350, I’d bet that’s 10-15 pounds light if I was a betting man.

Big dude.

Big dude. 

Stroh also has a knee brace on his left knee. I don’t believe he is 100%. 

Thanks for the updates and looking forward to many, many more today. 

I tell ya what, I know it’s warm ups, but seeing a lineup that consists of both Ryan Wingo and Silas Bolden on the field together is exciting. Just so many combinations and possibilities between the two of them. 

Michael Taaffe still in green no-contact jersey.

Trey Owens looking thicc🤣

Kobe Black looks so impressive from a body frame perspective.  

First team safeties today in the first team period of the day were Jelani McDonald and Michael Taaffe.

Seems like they’re just trying things out right now. They have several guys good enough for start and now it’s just about finding the best combination.

Daniel Cruz may be the quickest offensive lineman on entire team.

"I'm tired of this {BLEEP} green jersey," Michael Taffe.

Johntay Cook dropped first pass on a receiver screen.

Silas Bolden with what looked like a wrong route in early drills.

Continue to be impressed by the three running backs; their frames, their abilities, etc. Good group.

There is a huge difference between being a proven p5 DT at 330-345lbs  vs an unproven RS-Freshmen that is struggling to get to 350 with his weight. Even though he's listed at 350 on the roster he's 360-375 at camp....

Sydir still has 20-25 pounds on Norton fwiw.

While your statement may be correct, it really doesn’t matter. What matters is who is getting significant snaps during crunch rime of big games (Mich, Georgia, OU, a&m).
