I had to go out this morning. Just really excited to take a look at the new guys and just in general see how well they were going through their paces on an extremely cool Vegas morning.
Three guys with the DB's caught my eye. Soli Afalava, Evan Austria and Javin White are all incoming freshman that don't physically look like freshman. Big, strong and athletic young men. Also I need to mention Jay'On Myles. He is extremely quick but not very big. Seemed to be very coachable and was picking things up quickly.
Dalton Sneed was taking reps with the other 3 QB's that came out of Spring. All 3 still look good. Sneed has a long way to go to catch up but they are giving him the opportunity. Decker was getting the bulk of the snaps today. Had a nice TD pass to Aaron Criswell I believe.
The running backs looked fairly good but you never know till the pads go on. The 2 Houston Freshmen both look good. Lexington Thomas is a speed burner. Don't be overly surprised if we have come up with a new 4 year starter in Xzavier Campbell. Good top end speed and has good quickness and moves. And at 5'11' and 220 he could pack a punch when he hits the hole. Very excited to see him develop.
I know that everyone wants to know about Salanoa-Alo wily. He didn't do a whole lot today but as they were going through technique drills it is obvious that he possesses extreme athleticism and speed for his size. He is like a block of granite at 6'0'' and 290.
I didn't have enough time to really look at everything and everyone but I wanted to mention some of the freshmen. The incoming Freshmen all left the field about 2/3 of the way through practice. Not sure what that was all about. Probably some NCAA rule of some sort. Shoulder pads go on Monday. Don't be shocked to see a lot of the freshmen on the field this fall.
