Notes from the Cam Rising interview:
It’s starting to feel real. He is excited to get back on the field.
His assessment is – we are right where we need to be. “Trust the process!”
Camp is challenging, Whit is focussing on mental toughness.
Always have to reinstall the offense because there are new players. It’s good for the experienced players to be re-exposed to everything.
New faces that caught his eye: Matthews. Emery looks really good and his ability to get the ball. King is a freak of nature.
Spencer Fano is special. He is able to lock down good D-ends. Is excited to see how he develops.
Miles Battle looks really good. He has catch-up speed and range. He is tough to throw against. (He trusts Vele over any defender on the team.)
Smith Snowden is making plays and he thinks he will get some playing time early.
It is still Cam’s plan to play against Florida. He has to wait for what the doctor says. He sounds confident, but …
Barnes is throwing the ball a lot better and hitting the deep ball. Nate is a very good athlete and is making progress. He needs more reps and is paying his dues.
Starting Monday they will start prepping for Florida. Up until now, it has been implementing the packages.
He says that this defense is very good and deep. He did say that it is hard to compete with the 2019 D.
Tafuna can disrupt plays like no other. He is big and quick. He is glad he is on his side.
Florida does a good job of bringing pressure. We need to pick it up. They have been watching Southern Miss film because that is where the new D coordinator came from.
Last year they did a good job of route recognition. He feels that the Utes played poorly last year in Gainsville.
The team is focused on getting a third straight championship.
He will be doing everything he can to be ready to go.
School starts on Monday. He will be taking psychology classes. Wants to learn more about the mind. All of his classes are online.
Cam always sounds positive. I have no clue if he can really play or not. So, I don’t think we know more than we did before today.
