Brandyn Lee converted from WR to DB.

The UCLA HC says Josh Kelly will get significant PT this year.

Wasn't a bunch of that the Gould years?

Now we have Keelan, who today they said could have gone in the 3rd round in the NFL Draft, staying an extra year! Winning & good vibes.

(Sac TV interview.)

Definitely gives coaches more flexibility. Injuries, or a blowout ... give some young players PT. Interesting idea that it may reduce transfers (SB Nation). Like giving them 4 1/2 years.

SB Nation: 6 ways the NCAA’s new redshirts rule will make college football a little more fun

The young guys can get on the field early in low-risk situations. Everyone wins.

So maybe we see true freshmen earlier.

Just think about the wide receivers we ADD this year off redshirt.

Carson Crawford
Kris Vaughn - 6'1"
Jared Harrell - 6'2"
Jacob Sipes - 6'5" (JC).

Plus some stud freshmen - Simkins, Kraft (redshirt?).

Rushing: Modise added experience, and we get Mitchell Layton back off the injured list, and Hicks.

Scrimmage Sat, 7 PM. I believe locker rooms will be open (before?) to fans.

San Jose St first scrimmage notes...

[Coach] "Brennan ... took an active role in consoling running back Brandon Monroe and defensive end Sinjun Astani, who each experienced injuries that had them hobbling back to the training facilities."

" [DL] The likes of Boogie Owens and Bryson Bridges on the defensive line weren’t even suited up,..."

Can the Blue Force rise?

San Jose State HC says (interview, on tape):

Edit - it looks like the coaches rested the upperclassmen, started true freshmen on both sides of the ball.

Played 6 QBs. Montel Aaron started, and reports are he matured. ... QB Chance LaChapelle ("Lala"), a freshman from Sheldon HS in Sac, who sat a year at ARC, was 6 of 8. 6'3", 210#.

46 Freshman on roster.
7 junior JC transfers.

New ICA website? ... new photos?, LOTS of beards.

New addition to the roster? Joe Albrecht, 6'9", 270# OL from Cornell, hometown South Lake Tahoe. Played JV at Cornell in 2016.

New special team QC coach, Paul Shelton.

Former Aggie Robert Taylor signed with AAF, ran a 4.42 40.

UCD athletics:

"The first scrimmage of UC Davis football's 2018 training camp will take place on Saturday, Aug. 11, starting at 7 p.m. at Aggie Stadium. This event is free and open to the public, free parking is available in Lot 56, located behind the stadium's scoreboard."

If a 6'5" or 6'7" kid can move, and has hands ... that has to cause problems for some DBs.

Don't forget Montgomery in the slot. Stud. He had 27 catches last year, he'll at least double that number.

We'll be 1 or 2 steps better w The Fly ... I look forward to seeing Layton and highly touted speedster Carson Crawford, and our new 6'5" JC WR. Sipes? Will 6'7" WR Junior Gabe Martinez see some PT?

Coach Hawkins says we're going to Doss 20 times a game.
