When he was out, Wingo said he got to really watch the defense and better understand coverages and how to attack them.

“We’ll see at the end of the year, but I’ll say we’re even right now.” — Wingo on the difference between the 2024 and 2025 offenses

“If you want a complete receiver, that’s the guy you want,” Wingo said of what makes DeAndre Moore a first-round caliber wide receiver.

Wingo said it was “fun” to go to the Big House and play Michigan last year. He’s looking forward to the environment in Columbus on Aug. 30.

Caldwell is gone after this season regardless

“I felt like I was pretty consistent throughout the season,” Wingo said when asked if he felt he hit a wall at some point last season.

“That’s me,” McDonald said when asked why he switched to No. 4.

“We try to, but it’s hard when you’re going against a great offense,” McDonald said when asked if there’s defense is dominating the offense in camp.

McDonald says he models his game after Kyle Hamilton.

Jelani McDonald was asked about Graceson Littleton and what stands out about him. ”His love for the game.”

Graceson Littleton and Kobe Black are the two defensive backs McDonald named when talking about big hitters in the secondary.

“That’s what I’m here for,” McDonald said when asked the pride he takes in being a big hitter who protects his area.

“Not at all,” McDonald said when asked if there’s going to be any drop-off in communication with Jahdae Barron and Andrew Mukuba gone.

McDonald says he knows he has to set up this fall, says he has put it on him self to make sure he gets the backend of the secondary to where it needs to be.

McDonald said growing mentally as a player and understanding the game are where he’s made the most growth since he was a freshman.

McDonald said Derek Williams Jr. has “looked fantastic” since coming back from his knee injury.

McDonald said the biggest difference for him between playing STAR and safety is that there’s nobody behind him to clean up a mistake when he’s at safety.

Cj Baxter says although he didn’t play last year, he became a true student of the game. In large part because of the off. staff and Coach Choice providing an iPad for him to get a script of plays with in 2024.

Baxter said he’s smarter as a running back now than he was as a true freshman. He banked a lot of mental reps last season while injured, which helped him get more in tune with the offense.

“I’m grateful to be back on the field,” Baxter said.
