Yale’s spring session is underway. The Bulldogs got back on the field on Wednesday. The spring will culminate with the Blue-White scrimmage on April 18.
“It was a good first day,” Tony Reno said. “We’ve been doing things to increase speed, strength and technique drills. But it’s nice to add that football element to it now. Our focus in spring is increasing the quality of practice and do what we need to do to get better in all areas. Today was a good step in that direction.”
Some position changes of note…
Victor Egu bounced between OLB and ILB. He is playing ILB…
Andrew Johnson has moved from QB to WR…
Spencer McManes is playing LB instead of QB…
Austin Reuland is now in the mix at RB. He played WR last year.
K
Blake Horn was back on the field after missing last year with injury. He will compete for the placekicking duties. Also, DB
Spencer Rymiszewski is back on the field after suffering a season-ending concussion last year.
Expect a competitive battle at RB between
Candler Rich,
Deshawn Salter,
John Barton and Reuland.
A handful of players will compete for time at WR:
Ross Drwal,
Chris Williams-Lopez,
Myles Gaines,
Blake Rowlinson,
Mike Siragusa, Robert Clemons and
Matt Rubino.
OL
Mason Friedline, OL
Khalid Cannon, DT
Ben Bedard and CB
Jamal Locke are all sitting out this spring for precautionary reasons.
Logan Scott, along with
Rafe Chapple and
Stephen Barmore will compete for the backup QB job. Chapple had a strong outing his first day.
A reader asked about QBs on the incoming recruit list.
Tre Moore is the lone QB of the newcomers. Expect the incoming class to be made official in early April. Also, I spoke with
Bo Hines last night. Expect a feature story on him coming up in the next few days.
I will be at Yale practice on Monday.
