Spring PractiSe 2: Thursday 3-26

Thornton is playing boundary/free Safety...
Fitzgerald is at Nickel. Fitz will also slide back to FS on passing downs. Fitz wants to bulk up a little more to prepare for the role. (think he said he's at 192)

The Nickels and Safeties are trained to be interchangeable...so Thornton will play some Nickel as well.

JJ is super talented and got plenty of praise during practice, but he ain't unseating Thornton. Thornton has the violence and experience that Hetherman covets. He's twitchier than Thomas and better in coverage (IMO). He made a phenomenal play on Mali on a wheel route during team period. (on Tuesday) Strapped him up.

Not hyperbole...
But I think we might have the best CB duo in the country. OJ has developed into a grown a$s man. He's every bit of 6'1" and ripped/jacked. And Lucas, who was kinda raw previously, is now becoming a much better technician. His press coverage on Tuesday was unreal. He's so big, long and fast that he's **** near impossible to run away from. He dominated his 1-on-1 periods. The DB coaches are doing a great job with these kids. There's some other talent in the CB room, but from a technique and confidence standpoint I think it falls off after OJ/XL. You can tell who's been here a minute and who's fresh outta high school.

Yall are gonna love Milan and Wingo.
Milan's catch radius is silly, and he's not awkward for a kid his size.
Wingo is twitchy and fast for his size.
The CB's even said "Wingo be rollin!" 🤣

Pruitt has to see the field significantly this season. He's too long and athletic not to. He looked great versus the RB's in 1-on-1's.

Good insight, thanks. Looking forward to the competition and development from all of the guys either way.

Agree on OJ. He had some poor moments last season IMO, especially getting the ball carrier down. Bell from UL also abused him, but when he is ON, he is by far and away our best. I hope he can 1.) stay healthy 2.) string together some consistency.

*Physically Lucas has everything, need him to make more plays on the ball & make his money. Kid dropped atleast 4 gimmies last year that hit him dead in his hands. All of our CBs had missed opportunities on the ball but he had the most.

What role does Pruitt play? Anything similar to what we saw Lightfoot do last year? Something hybrid?

Yeup; Lupoi has a lot to work with. Michigan, Maryland, Berkeley and BYU should all be dangerous offensively after starting true freshmen last year.

Mich is interesting because they hit it out park to me on coaching staff coming out of that situation.. Beck is one of better OCs in nation and you would think wittingham will have defense on point..
