From ON3 Bobby Pruitt:
Pruitt says he’s “gained a lot of pounds” since arriving but even at 195 he needs to pack on more weight. So far he estimates he’s gained almost 20 pounds “eating protein shakes and doing extra work.”
He says he’s picked up Lance Guidry’s defense quickly, to the point he’s working at both WILL and SAM along with “a lot of special teams reps – that’s my bread and butter, what I’m known for.”
“I’ve learned to have energy, be yourself and play and compete like it’s your last play,” Pruitt said. “(LB coach Derek Nicholson) has taught me a lot – my reads, better stance, better fits. He’s improved me to be a better player and get to the goals I want.”
“My mentality is I don’t care who you are – I’m still going to hit you,”
“I’m a football head when watching film, I don’t watch anyting but football film, watch daily,” “My personal goal is to get on the field, play with my brothers. I don’t like sitting out and watching something that I know I can do. My goal is to play. I put etra work in, extra film time with my brothers.”
Pruitt was asked about QB Cam Ward, - “That boy is good. I can see him going further, he’s a good quarterback, good leader and he’s real competitive.”
