DAVIS, Calif. — With nine practices under their belt, No. 6 UC Davis football strapped up their helmets and welcomed officials to Shredville for the first full scrimmage of the 2026 season.

This practice marked the first time both sides of the ball had the opportunity to preach what they've been practicing since last Thursday, going at each other with little restriction.

The offense got off to a quick start, with the first play from scrimmage seeing running back Matteo Perez go distance for a touchdown. The defense also had some nice plays, particularly from the secondary, reading the offense well and coming up with big plays.

Under center, the Aggies saw throws from a multitude of quarterbacks, including Treynor Cleeland, Jackson Kollock, and Axel Eason. The quick decision making and good play of each playcaller indicates that the team should not miss a beat in that position come kickoff.

On defense, the secondary shined throughout the day, proving to be one of the deepest positions for the Aggies as they move closer to gametime. Transfer Hayden John played all over the field while Trey Carr batted a couple of balls from would-be receivers.

Special teams also had their moments. Punter Dylan Mauro showed a strong leg, flipping the field multiple times. While transfer kicker Robert Meyer demonstrated his precision, nailing field goals throughout the scrimmage.
