Back when men were men. Our shorts? Short. Our jerseys? Cropped. Looked like a Menudo video out on the field

Some observations from Canesport:

-Justin Scott continues to really look the part of an athletic DT and we think he is well positioned to win a starting job. Also keep an eye on DT Donta Simpson, who despite being a true freshman continues to work his way up the depth chart (although he was too slow off the ball on one inside run drill rep today, as when he looked up the back was already past him). Still, he’s been getting some one reps and had some solid inside run reps and is learning on the go. DE Booker Pickett is also working in with the twos at times and is pushing for an early role.

-At LB we continue to be high on Chase Smith, as he’s looking the part and is pushing for a starting job. The injuries that hampered him earlier in his career appear to have finally gone by the wayside.

-On offense the QB play continues to be inconsistent with Carson Beck out. None of the quarterbacks appears to really be separating themselves as a No. 2 option to Beck.

-S Zechariah Poyser also continues to look really good and seems to be locking down one starting spot with his play.

D$ reported this a couple weeks back and now Canesport. Would be phenomenal if Chase put it all together.

Chase finally started to get reps at the tail end of last season. Mario began to note his progress in pressers back then. But he looked a little lost (rusty) out there to me. Now that he's been fully healthy and at this a few months plus the S&C, I could see him having a breakout. He has freak athletic traits.

If Chase Smith is starting then LB recruiting needs to be Nuked and overhauled

- From a line of scrimmage perspective, it was clear that freshman Donta Simpson was getting some meaningful reps against starter-level players.

Important anecdote. Would like for the reporting on him to translate to something meaningful.
