GSEagles.com catches up with each position coach following the shortened spring ball
Even with spring practice being cut short, the Georgia Southern football coaching staff was able to evaluate its program through offseason lifting and conditioning, as well as six on-field practices. GSEagles.com was able to catch up with each coach via email to get their thoughts on their group, as well as a preliminary two-deep heading into the fall.
I'd say Beau Johnson. He is a very athletic and versatile guy who can be utilized a lot of different ways. I only saw what was on film from last year, so I didn't have a lot to go on, but he's a better athlete than I had anticipated going into spring ball.
Who's someone who didn't see a lot of game action that has impressed you this offseason?:
We have to pick up where we left off after the shortened spring ball.
What will be a top priority for your group when you return to the field?:
I think we're going to have at least three guys who'll contribute this season and it appears we have quality depth at the tight end position.
What excites you about your group?:
I think we're going to have at least three guys who'll contribute this season and it appears we have quality depth at the tight end position.
Who is or are the vocal leader(s) in your meeting room?:
Cam Brown. He's a senior former walk-on who's earned his place and become a big contributor. He's the leader of tight end position and it's all about TEAM with Cam.
Who leads more by example?:
Chase Hancock. He doesn't say much, but he's a blue-collar "grinder" and brings a consistent, workman-type approach every day.
Post-Spring Two-Deep:
TE: 48, Cam Brown (6-2, 235, r-Jr.)
41, Beau Johnson (6-1, 225, r-Fr.) -or-
83, Chase Hancock (6-0, 245, So.)
Today, we hear from Doug Ruse, who coaches the tight ends.
