Watch: Ryan Wallace, Louisville TEs Talk Spring Practice

In this story:
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - As quickly as it started, spring ball for the Louisville football program is nearly complete. The Cardinals are entering their fifth and final week of spring practice, and held their final practice before Friday's Spring Game on Monday.
While the tight end spot isn't an offensive group that gets all the headlines like the wide receiver and running back positions do, during spring ball, it's a position group that has done some good things in the spring. Nate Kurisky and Jaleel Skinner have taken steps forward, while Dylan Mesman and even walk-on Hamilton Atkins have stood out at times.
"t's been good for those older guys to get the reps that they need, and to be able to hone their skills," tight ends coach Ryan Wallace said. "When some of the young guys get back (from injury), they're going to catch up."
Following Monday's practice, Wallace, Kurisky and Skinner took time to meet with the media. They discussed spring practice up to this point, how Kurisky and Skinner have performed, injuries in the room, and more.
Below are the videos from their press conferences:
