Spring PractiSe 2025. Monday 3/3

[AlexCane]

It is noteable how often Jojo is talked about by others. One of my friends talked to Isiah Horton (before he left) and Horton also praised Jojo. I hope he plays up to the hype.

Trader coming mane

@Confidence1000

 

[TheShredder]

It's really going to be hard to keep Trader and Carr off the field

No it’s not, we lost our top 4 WRs

 

[ST26]

Nobody is keeping Trader off the field.

Well we have people on here who think we need to add 2-3 more wrs through the portal. I was more speaking to Carr

 

[ST26]

No it’s not, we lost our top 4 WRs

We have people on here that would rather add more low end portal wrs than developing/playng our HS talent

Lol. Cis making **** up since ...

 

[Jesscane]

Any word on OConner? Haven't seen his name mentioned

Only mention I saw was 247 said he looked smaller than expected

 

[Hoyacane1620]

On the QBs:

From 247:

All three guys had their moments. Emory Williams made some strong throws. Judd Anderson actually looked pretty solid. He made two of the more impressive throws of the day. Luke Nickel had a good day too

That’s why I said Carr starting at Slot would be perfect for this roster.

 

[Hoyacane1620]

someone on 247 posted that CJ Daniels will be out for part of the spring, too

 

[Hoyacane1620]

From Shodell at ON3:

TE/H-back Elija Lofton really stood out – he’s gotten bigger but looks just as fast and his hands are unworldly including an early ball he effortlessly plucked out of the air with one hand. The other tight ends looked slow compared to him, and in particular Jackson Carver really needs to be able to find a way to get faster if he’s going to be a playmaker here. The team is looking at him to be a No. 2 receiving TE option along with transfer Alex Bauman.

-an interesting situation to monitor is nickel/SLB/Star where Bobby Pruitt could be an answer. He looks like a big safety and is very versatile manning that spot. He could be in line for a big year. Chase Smith is also a good SLB option against run teams.

- looks like Plan A in the 4-2-5 at LB would be Wesley Bissainthe and Raul Aguirre, but we’ll see how that develops. And don’t sleep on Ezekiel Marcelin being in the two-deep. Also of note: Kellen Wiley and Pruitt had INTs in LB vs. RB drills.

 

[SouthsideAtl]

So is Beard getting a new contract ?

 

[Hstokes1447]

Some more from 247 live updates:

- sounds like Malachi Toney is the real deal. He and Trader had some really nice plays

-Brantley very physical. He and Trader tangled up numerous times

Wiley was at Will linebacker. Going to be a problem

- First team defensive line during one drill was: DE Rueben Bain, DT Justin Scott, DT Ahmad Moten, and DE Akheem Mesidor.

"Emory Williams made some strong throws."

So happy the this team has real CB’s to challenge him this spring. The superstars usually explode as sophomores (pause), let’s hope JoJo is one of them.

Think they see him kind of similar to george

From 247:

- Jojo Trader was put in competitive situations with veteran Charles Brantley working against one another and I thought the young pass catcher flashed. He’s a bit thicker this spring and showcased an ability to beat press-man coverage and get vertical and win. He also won in the short and intermediate game. Brantley got physical with Trader at the line of scrimmage and he responded from that challenge from an older, productive cornerback.

- On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker freshman linebacker Kellen Wiley had an interception while covering Mark Fletcher. He is as physically impressive as any ‘backer on the roster.

- Bobby Pruitt intercepted a pass against the running backs, and then broke up a pass in 1-on-1’s while covering a tight end

WR1

Lyle in #2 is the move
