Akheem Mesidor gave the defense a boost when he decided to return for a sixth year. He met with reporters after practice to discuss spring:
On getting to know new defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman: He knows a lot. He’s a technician. Some of my friends know him as well, because I have friends at Rutgers and they love him, too. I love him. I love his defense and I’m excited to see what he’s got for us.
On moving back to defensive end: I love it. I’m naturally a defensive end. I do like playing 3-technique as well on passing downs, but I’m happy to be back outside and I’m excited to see what Coach Hetherman has got for us.
On playing with Rueben Bain, Jr. Man, playing with Rueben on the end, me and him at the end, I think it’s going to be different. I think it’s going to be a game changer. I love Rueben. Rueben’s my guy. We work together all the time. I can’t wait to show you all what we can do.
