Offensive Highlights: Dino Tomlin hauled in two long touchdown passes in the third team session, one from Emmett Morehead and one from Thomas Castellanos. Morehead completed two touchdown passes to tight ends today, first to Charlie Gordinier and second to Matt Ragan. Pat Garwo stayed busy with the ones in both the run and pass game. Taji Johnson made a leaping one-handed catch over the middle on a pass from Morehead in the third team session. Xavier Coleman got both feet down on a nice toe-tapping touchdown on a back shoulder throw from Morehead.

Defensive Highlights: The defensive line brought consistent pressure to the backfield in the first team session. Donovan Ezeiruaku forced an incompletion on a QB pressure in 9-on-9. George Rooks and Shitta Sillah combined for a QB pressure in 9-on-9, and Amari Jackson secured an interception in the end zone in the same session. Victor Nelson picked up an interception in the end zone in the third team session, and Carter Davis logged a touchdown-saving PBU in the same session.

9 on 9, Tag Tempo: Emmett Morehead rolled out to the right to escape the pressure on the first play, and found Jaden Williams in the right corner of the end zone for a touchdown. Morehead completed three touchdowns in this session, to Williams, Gordinier, and Ragan.
