Yeah, there were a couple guys I didn't recognize. Anyone care to list the names of the participants in that vid? Pretty cool. Loved how amped JT was.

my best guesses are:

Blankenship vs Hoge
Mokwuah vs Hegarty
Tillery vs Harrell
Morgan vs Weishar
Watkins vs Holmes


least sure on Blankenship, Mokwuah, Watkins

No idea on who's against Weishar and I agree on Blankenship but I think thats Cage against (I don't know after second watch I don't think its Hegarty). The only reason I say that is the little afro he's got going on. He had that last season and I think Mokwuah is taller.

If that was Mokwuah, he must have shed some weight. He was a mountain coming in last year.

Thanks all. Jay get jacked on the sides too. Fun stuff. Is that Grimes trying to hold them back?

Starting around the 11 second mark..who is at the top left corner of the video beating his chest? Looks like an assistant of sorts in the white jacket trying to hold him back but my man is fired up.

Gave me chills honestly. (Good choice of music.)

Jay Hayes, looks like he's in good shape.

Jay Hayes looked the part when he got some tic last year too. Hopefully he looks like tarzan and plays like him too.

Tranquill and Schmidt sighting on the left at the end of the video. Don't know which knee Drue hurt but don't see a brace which is a good sign.

I believe I read a while back that Tranquill was way ahead of schedule in his recovery. I wouldn't be surprised if he was 100% for summer workouts, fall camp at the latest.

Schmidt just got his brace off recently, IIRC. I doubt he fully participates in spring.

Tarzan was overrated and had poor technique, don't believe the All American hype

The T-Man was a swimmer, fer chrissake!

What does that have to do with the price of line backers?

Or linemen?

Or running backs?

Or wide receivers?

Or safeties?

Or punters?

Or whatevs?

18 pounds and it seems like it's all good weight.

Think we kind of forget how highly regarded Jay Hayes was. Kid had offers from everyone. Alabama, FSU, USC, etc... Really wish we didn't have to play him at the end of the year but still he should eventually be a beast. Tillery-Hayes could be so great in a couple of years.

One of the more interesting position battles for me to watch will be the 2nd string 3 tech. Whoever wins will most likely take the starting spot in 2016 once Day graduates. Bonner or Hayes?

Matuska is in there, too. (unless the staff sees him at nose, which I don't. Cage, Mokwuah, Tillery and Jones are my NTs)

May have a lower ceiling than aforementioned Hayes and Bonner, but he did make a few plays when called upon late in the season last year.
