Hey guys, here is today's practice report after ASU's spring session in Sun Devil Stadium..
LOCATION: Sun Devil Stadium
ATTIRE: Full pads
STRETCH MUSIC: We had a real treat today. They played "Crank That (Souljia Boy)" by Souljia Boy Tell 'Em
SPECIAL GUESTS: ASU VP of Athletics Ray Anderson
GREEN JERSEYS: QB Bryce Perkins, RB Kalen Ballage, LB D.J Calhoun, LB Malik Lawal, CB Kareem Orr
-All of these guys were limited. Not sure yet why Ballage was in green, but he was still making guys miss in the 1-on-1 drill where defenders are tasked with wrapping up the ball carriers.
OUT: WR Terrell Chatman, WR N'Keal Harry, WR Cam Smith, DL Jalen Bates, LB Christian Sam, LB Drew McIntyre, DB Das Tautalatasi, DB Marcus Ball (in shorts), RB Eno Benjamin
LIMITED, BUT NO GREEN: QB Brady White
TEMPO: The offense and defense both ran team tempo. I tried to chart them for you guys:
First-team offense: QB Manny Wilkins, RB Demario Richard, WRs John Humphrey/Kyle Williams(slot)/Jalen Harvey, TE Jay Jay Wilson, LT Cohl Cabral, LG Sam Jones, C Tyler McClure, RG Steven Miller, RT Quinn Bailey
Second-team offense: QB Blake Barnett, RB Nick Ralston, WRs Ryan Newsome/Jack Smith (slot)/Ryan Jenkins, TE Tommy Hudson, LT Mason Walter, LG Connor Humphreys, C A.J. McCollum, RG Alex Losoya, RT Zach Robertson
First-Team Defense
DL: Koron Crump (DEVIL), Jordan Hoyt (NT), Tashon Smallwood (DT), JoJo Wicker (DE)
LB: DJ Calhoun, Khaylan Thomas
DB: Kareem Orr, Chase Lucas, J'Marcus Rhodes (SPUR), Chad Adams, Ty Thomas
Second-Team Defense
DL: Alani Latu, Rebell Wren, George Lea, DJ Davidson
LB
arker Higgins, Deion Guignard
DB: Maurice Chandler, Jalen Russell, Jeremy Smith, Owen Rodgers, Frank Darby (SPUR)
INDIVIDUAL: The team ran through individual drills in the last period of the media viewing session.
Some things I noticed:
-TJ Rushing got on the defensive backs multiple times during a man coverage drill.
-Rushing got in J'Marcus Rhodes' face and questioned how serious he was being during that ^ drill. Can't take too much away from that, but just one thing I saw.
-Bryce Perkins had a few really nice throws.
-Brady White was obviously limited, but was throwing too.
ASU next practices on Monday. There are only five more sessions before the spring game on April 15.
If you have any questions, feel free to send them my way.
