- Both Dylan Lonergan and Grayson James threw on Tuesday in 7v7 and 11v11. Lonergan looked to have the stronger day and both are showing big improvements.
- Wide receivers Luke McLaughlin and Jaedn Skeete both looked to be improving with McLaughlin scoring a touchdown. Lewis Bond did not practice today and a lot of freshmen got reps, including Dawson Pough, Ned Boldin Jr. and Semaj Fleming.
- Freshman running backs Bo MacCormack III and Mekhi Dodd both scored on Tuesday morning.
- As for linebackers, Daveon Crouch and Bryce Steele both looked good. Crouch recorded an interception on a pass by James, intended for tight end Ty Lockwood and Steele has been excellent at stopping the run.
- Freshman Andy Quinn had an impressive punt which was downed by Charlie Comella at the 1-yard line.
- Another interesting note: For Boston, Boston College’s fight song, was played on the speakers throughout practice.
- After practice, Eagles head coach Bill O’Brien confirmed that former Eagles tight end Kamari Morales has joined the staff in the recruiting department.
