9:05 a.m. – Texas DL signee Jaray Bledsoe is also going through drills after arriving late and missing Wednesday’s practice. He appears to be working out without a helmet today. He definitely passes the eyeball test. -Jeremy Crabtree
9:11 a.m. – Quick turn around from a night practice to an early morning practice, plus fog and some rain, leaving the early sessions of this practice with zero energy from the players. – Jeremy Crabtree
9:13 a.m. – After working with the defensive backs yesterday, Five-Star Plus+ Travis Hunter is starting off the second practice with the wide receivers. – Joseph Hastings
9:15 a.m. – Texas A&M five-star DL signee Anthony Lucas is now working out at OL for Team Icons. He said he moved because of injuries to other OL. – Chad Simmons

9:19 a.m. – Chris Marshall says AJ Duffy’s passes are “coming with some steam.” – Charles Power
9:21 a.m. – Branson Robinson clearly does not skip leg day. The Georgia signee is built with a huge lower body. – Charles Power

9:31 a.m. – In individual drills, Clemson signee Jeadyn Lukus has been one of the fastest defensive backs on his back pedals and cutbacks to the ball. He’s showcased fluid hips and has kept himself upright for the most part despite less-than-ideal field conditions. – Joseph Hastings
9:32 a.m. – Baylor WR signee Armani Winfield’s length stands out. Very long arms. – Charles Power
9:34 a.m. – Working on special teams. Luther Burden is at punt returner for Team Icons. That’s probably a good move- Burden scored on several returns as a senior. Travis Hunter is also at punt returner. – Charles Power
9:35 a.m. – EDGE Popeye Williams is receiving constant coach praise in drills. Shows very quick hands, ability to bend and close quickly. – Gerry Hamilton

9:40 a.m. – A trainer was seen working on Alabama signee Shazz Preston’s left leg. Preston is on the sidelines warming up. Yet another player who’s not 100 percent today. – Joseph Hastings
