Brady White also rotated in with the first team. Bryce Perkins had a great day, breaking a long run on his first play from scrimmage. After a long Ballage TD run, Perkins led the first team to its second score with a nice touch pass rolling right to Jay Jay Wilson.

FIRST-TEAM D: JoJo Wicker (DE), Ami Latu (nose), Tashon Smallwood (tiger), Koron Crump (DEVIL), Salamo Fiso (SAM), DJ Calhoun (WILL), A.J. Latu (SPUR), Chad Adams (FS), Kareem Orr (BC), Gump Hayes (FC), Das Tautalatasi (BS)

Tim White rotated in at boundary corner from time to time, his first 11-on-11 reps on defense during media availability this spring

SECOND-TEAM O: Manny Wilkins (QB), Nick Ralston (RB), Ellis Jefferson (WR), Fred Gammage/Cam Smith (WR), Ryan Jenkins/Tim White (WR), Raymond Epps/Jay Jay Wilson (TE), Zach Robertson/Tyson Rising (LT), Steve Miller (LG), Cade Cote (C), Connor Humphreys/Zach Robertson (RG), Mason Walter/Corey Smith (RT)

Wilkins had a near-pick that hit Carlos Mendoza on the hands trying to hit a slant.White also got second-team reps. He had the best throw of the day, finding Ellis Jefferson down the left sideline for a touchdown score. The interior o-line struggled, leading to sacks from Koron Crump and Ami Latu with the first-team in.

SECOND-TEAM D: Jalen Bates (DL), Tramel Topps (DL), Renell Wren (DL), Malik Lawal (DEVIL), Marcus Ball (SPUR), KJ Bynum (SAM), Carlos Mendoza (WILL), Maurice Chandler (FC), J'Marcus Rhodes (BC), Owen Rogers (FS), James Johnson (BS)

ASU rolled out the first corner blitz I've seen in spring practice by having Rhodes come off the edge.

Post 11-on-11:

- Tim White worked with the DBs again
- QBs worked on pooch punts.

Let me know if you have any questions.
