Kenny Dillingham
General thoughts on the offense in the spring scrimmage: "I thought they did a nice job executing" ... "Most of the time we gave ourselves a chance to be successful, especially with that first group."
On Malik McClain, his catch and overall play: "Really high skill set to make that catch" he says with a chuckle. "Can't coach the dog in somebody, and he has that dog."
Assessing McKenzie Milton: "Constant improvement". "Every single day he got a little more comfortable".
On Jordan Travis: "The growth in him, you can't put it in words. Not just as a football player but as a person, as a leader, everything about him. There's not a word that would do it justice, the growth he made."
John Papuchis
Defensive ends/special teams coordinator Papuchis said the placekickers (Parker Grothaus and Ryan Fitzgerald) graded out about identical this spring.
On the defensive line, calls Derrick McLendon's growth this spring "significant". Was wholly impressed with the play of Jermaine Johnson, namely his physicality.
