ATTIRE: Shells
LOCATION: Verde Dickey Dome
MEDIA AVAILABILITY: About 20-25 minutes
EN VERDE (No contact): RB Demario Richard, OL Marshal Nathe, OL AJ McCollum, OL Tyson Rising, WR N'Keal Harry, LB Christian Sam
(Notes: Richard's right ankle was heavily taped, but he had a cleat on it. Bryce Perkins was at practice, but had a huge neck brace on and obviously wasn't dressed. t did not see Jalen Harvey or Laui Moeakiola at practice today, I believe Christian Sam was wearing green, but another player was wearing #2 on defense — was too tall to be Sam, but I believe it was Jalen Bates...Also, I believe Maurice Chandler was still in green but walking through drills with the DBs, but I can't confirm that. He had been doing that the past few days)
TILLMAN JERSEY: Tim White
Practice started with the takeaway drills, but then transitioned to the 11-on-0 period for the offense, which ran three series on Thursday. There were three teams. I charted the first two, but the third was led by Dillon Sterling-Cole and mixed in newcomers with second-teamers.
OFFENSE: After a few days of Manny Wilkins running with the first team during the 11-on-0 period during media availability, Brady White received first-team reps on Thursday. Here is how the depth chart shaped up:
First team: QB Brady White, RB Kalen Ballage, WRs Tim White/Fred Gammage/Ellis Jefferson, TE Kody Kohl, LT Evan Goodman, LG Sam Jones, C Stephon McCray, RG Quinn Bailey, RT Zach Robertson
Notes: The staff has seemed to keep the reps consistent — Manny for a couple days, Brady for a couple. It seems Manny has received more first-team reps, but I wouldn't be surprised if Brady ran with the first team for the next day of two. We are also starting to see the first team offensive line shaping up, or so it seems.
Second team: QB Manny Wilkins, RB Nick Ralston, WRs Ryan Newsome, Chaz Collins (third receiver was mixed in), TE Tommy Hudson, LT Steve Miller, LG Connor Humphreys, C Cohl Cabral, RG Cade Cote, RT Mason Walter
Note: Saw #87 Tommy Hudson in today, but don't forget about Raymond Epps, who will regularly mix into the first team and will most likely be right beneath Kohl in the depth chart. Was tough for me to see the third receiver on the far side as well, but I believe a couple different guys mixed in.
Aside from the 11-on-0, the media was able to see the takeaway drills, tackle circuit and special teams.
