Colton Beebe, Brandon Lingen, Cody Poock, Shannon Brooks, Isaiah Gentry, and Antoine Winfield Jr. were all out with injuries. Coney Durr and Matt Morse may have been out too.
Blaise Andries and 2018 QB Trey Lance of Marshall were in attendance and spent time with Morgan Liggett and others.
With the scrimmage later today, the coaches didn't want to beat the players up too much. Practice was only about 45 minutes long and almost entirely special teams work. There was no tackling, so I couldn't really gauge who did well as a returner.
Despite his move to punter, Ryan Santoso is still doing kickoffs. He looked good as a punter and really gets a lot of hang time.
Phillip Howard, Drew Wolitarsky, and Jalen Myrick returned punts. There may have been a couple more, too.
Jonathan Femi-Cole, Kiondre Thomas, Rodney Smith, Jalen Myrick, Ray Buford, and KiAnte Hardin were all returning kicks.
Kickers were fairly inconsistent. Both Emmit Carpenter and Justin Juenemann missed kicks. Juenemann is small and very skinny but gets a lot of power in his kicks.
Scott Ekpe blocked a kick.
While most of the rest of the team was working on punt coverage and returns, the quarterbacks were working on their dropbacks and making ten yard throws. Mark Williams impressed with his quick release.
