Episode Details

Eastern Washington Eagles wrapped up a scorching 100-degree preseason scrimmage, with key starters sitting out to give depth players a chance to shine — including Drew Carlson, who hauled in two TDs from third-string QB Kaden Rolfsness. Nate Bell, the redshirt junior QB, is expected to start after dominating first-team reps, though backup Jake Schakel also sat out — and coach Aaron Best emphasized decisions may shift during the game. With new NCAA rules letting true freshmen play immediately, competition is fierce — freshmen like Zamarie Tellez and Jaxon Bell (Nate’s brother) are making waves, and even the kicker spot could see a freshman debut. On offense, the ground game is poised to improve thanks to four returning OL starters and a deeper RB corps featuring Malik Dotson, Kevin Allen III, and Wilson Medina. With a loaded roster and rising competition, the Eagles are primed for a thrilling season opener next Saturday against Northern Arizona.
