News and notes on various aspects of the team and its players. It's what we call emptying the notebook.
**
Jaray Bledsoe - "Looks great."
Alex January - "He's going to play this year."
Sydir Mitchell - "Improving. Body looks a little better."
**
The two freshman offensive linemen were singled out.
Brandon Baker is said to be an outstanding athlete and his off-field, weight-room demeanor has been similar to that of Kelvin Banks when Banks first arrived.
After the glowing about Baker finished, the source was quick to mention the professional demeanor of Daniel Cruz as well.
"Those two are keepers," the source said.
**
The source felt J'Mond Tapp "was coming on", specifically becoming a smarter player. He's always had the physical tools, but just needed to add good weight and play within the framework of the defense. He could be an X factor for the Texas D this year.
**
Anthony Hill Jr. - "He's locked in. He looks great."
**
Isaiah Bond - "Has some diva to him like a lot of wideouts. But he's not that way when he gets on the football field. Intentional worker."
**
Billy Walton - "Looks great. Really great athlete."
Tausili Akana - "A little small. Needs to add good weight. Working at SAM and edge."
**
Jake Majors - "Really had a good year last year. Did not go to the ground nearly as much. Have to give him credit, he's really made something of himself. You can count on him."
**
Tiaoalii Savea - "Better version of Trill Carter."
**
Team thoughts:
- Still concerned about stopping the run.
- Speed on offense is different this year.
- Need one or two interior DLs in the portal.
**
I'll share more as I get more...
