NUGGETS
After an off day on Sunday, the Beavers took to the Prothro practice fields for its third week of fall camp…
FIRST TEAM OFFENSE
RT: Taliese Fuaga
RG: Brandon Kipper
C: Jake Levengood
LG: Marco Brewer
LT: Joshua Gray
QB: Chance Nolan
RB: Deshaun Fenwick/Damien Martinez/Jam Griffin
TE: Luke Musgrave
WR: Tre’Shaun Harrison, Tyjon Lindsey, Jimmy Valsin III
FIRST TEAM DEFENSE
DL: Joe Golden
DL: Simon Sandberg
DL: James Rawls
OLB: Ryan Franke
OLB: Cory Stover
ILB: Kyrei Fisher
ILB: Omar Speights
DB: Rejzohn Wright
DB: Alex Austin
DB: Kitan Oladapo
DB: Jaydon Grant
-The board wanted offensive and defensive MVPs for practice, so we’ll try to pick two for every practice. I’ll give the Offensive MVP to Chance Nolan, who again really impressed with his timing, and the defensive MVP to Cory Stover, who notched a strip sack of Ben Gulbranson late in practice (Kitan Oladapo and Isaac Hodgins are honorable mentions).
-I’m not sure if it was planned or not, but there seemed to be a little bit more emphasis on deep passing with the first team offense. In the first set of 11-on-11 (not the two-minute drill they opened practice with), Nolan went deep twice in a row. His first throw was his best throw of camp, tossing the ball over 40 yards in the air into triple coverage and hitting Tre’Shaun Harrison right in his number 0. Harrison dropped the pass. Nolan found Tyjon Lindsey for his next deep throw around the same distance, but the pass was a little more underthrown and Lindsey couldn’t haul it in.
-A few series later, Nolan tried a deep throw again, but this one wobbled out of his hands and underthrew Lindsay again, to which Kitan Oladapo swooped in and intercepted the pass. By my count, Nolan finished the day 0/4 on deep shots.
-There was a bit more pressure put on the quarterbacks today. Isaac Hodgins, who was rotating in with the second team, nabbed a coverage sack on Tristan Gebbia. Kyrei Fisher and Riley Sharp combined for a sack on Nolan later in practice, and true freshman Takari Hickle got a sack of his own on Gulbranson. This doesn't include numerous pressures from Stover, Cody Anderson, and John McCartan. Nolan, Gebbia, and Gulbranson were flushed out of the pocket often.
-Ron Hardge III continues to make a bid for more playing time, intercepting a pass during one-on-one in the red zone. It’s going to be Ryan Cooper Jr. and Hardge III fighting for snaps at that third corner spot, it seems. Speaking of corners, redshirt freshman Jack Kane made a great play today too, jumping over the back of Silas Bolden to break up a pass.
-The best run of the day goes to Kanoa Shannon, who bounced outside to his left for a run of 15 yards. The edge was blocked off perfectly by the second-team offensive line.
