Defense

Mason White was another DB who caught my eye today. He had a couple of standout plays and a couple of plays where he was beaten in coverage. Regarding the good, he made a tremendous break on the ball during a 7-on-7 when Cornell Hatcher was trying to get a pass out of the backfield, delivering a big blow.

Special Teams

I got another look at AJ Winsor and Max Walker punting the ball in practice today. Walker and Winsor both boomed punts around 50 yards with plenty of hangtime to go along with the power in their kicks. Winsor and Walker consistently got close to five seconds of hang time in each punt.

- For the first time this spring football season, we finally saw some action in the kicking game, as both Caleb Ojeda and the new kicker Tetsuta Tsuyumine took kicks from 40 yards.
