Spring Game Preview (Main Segment)

• Spring practice wrapping up in the final week; ends with the spring game this Saturday at 1 p.m. in Death Valley (not televised; format likely a mix of game/situational play, possibly ones vs. twos or split rosters/coaching staffs).
• Final practice Monday for summer instructions.
• Key reports from observed practices:
  • QB room: Tate Reynolds retired; now firmly QB2, splitting reps with others (e.g., Chris Vizzina). Young QBs will get looks.
  • Defense: Tom Allen praised transfers and freshmen like Polo Anderson (flashing big-time, used as physical example for the room). Emphasis on length, range, and run support in secondary; more physical/athletic overall.
  • Linebacker depth a concern (no major portal additions; reliance on Sammy Brown, Kobe McLeod, Jeremiah Alexander, and unknowns).
  • Defensive line: Hit by Courtney Kelly's torn ACL (potential season-ending; depth hit, but opportunity for younger players like Heaven Brown, Champ Thompson, Makai Williams-Lee). Need for disruption up front—used to be a strength with NFL talent; now less intimidating.
• Overall thoughts:
  • Defense expected to dominate the spring game (aggressive secondary creating turnovers/interceptions; questions if QBs struggle reading the field or if DBs like Elliott Washington, Corey Myrick, Jerome Carter are that good).
  • Offense: Limited insight due to missing starting WRs (young/freshmen group). Focus on OL progression (presumed starters: e.g., Bigsby Jacobs LT, Elijah Thurman LG, Harris Sewell C, Easton Ware RT?), RB rotation/usage (including Chris Johnson Jr.), and QB play/turnovers. New system + inexperience = expected struggles/turnovers.
  • Spring game format uncertainty affects takeaways; overreactions common (e.g., past flashes like Jamal Anderson not translating).
  • Defense likely "wins the day"; look for glimpses of potential amid offensive growing pains. Not a full evaluation—more situational/continuity building.

Recruiting Breakdown

• Jordan debuts a visual recruiting board (Excel-based, color-coded, sortable by position/state/high school/star ranking; legend: orange = commits; purple = official visit scheduled; gray = committed elsewhere).
  • Bare-bones version shown; plans to expand aesthetically and with more data (other notable offers, official visits to other schools, etc.).
  • No commits yet on the line of scrimmage (priority for May 29 official visit weekend).
  • Offensive line
