These are a few quotes from Texas right guard DJ Campbell during Thursday's post-practice player availability, which was two days before the team's first camp scrimmage.

On what stands out about right tackle Brandon Baker: “Probably his relentless effort. He reminds me a lot of Kevin Banks because KB was a technique freak. That reminds me of Brandon Baker as well. Whenever I see his game — that’s a technique freak right there. He's doing everything fundamentally right.”

On the health of the running back room with CJ Baxter and Christian Clark back from injury: “I've just been seeing, like I said, the relentless effort from all of us. It's all gas, no breaks for everybody in that running back room, from Christian Clark to Tre Wiser... They're all going at each other. Having them all back and healthy, it's going to be exciting for us to watch.”

On left guard Neto Umeozulu taking advantage of his opportunity to start: “It's been real fun, I'd say, because he's one of my tightest friends. Seeing him develop through the years, and now he's finally got his chance to showcase his talent, it's been fun.”

On Cole Hutson taking over for Jake Majors at center: “I really don't see much difference from Jake and Cole. Cole has been doing a great job of stepping into that center position and actually leading us, just as if Jake [were].”

On what he’s seen from true freshman tackle Nick Brooks: A real young guy coming in — got a lot of talent — that can really showcase early. As long as he keeps going, keeps [developing] with the offense, I'm pretty sure he'll be in early.”
