With three practices under their belt so far, there’s plenty of time throughout the coming four weeks to break down and dissect what we can see in practices. All the team has released is a 30 second video from day one, which includes highlights and head coach Brian Kelly talking to his team.

“Be a great competitor, that’s what spring ball is about — that’s what practice is about,” Kelly said. “It’s us vs. us. It’s you vs. yourself. That’s what this comes down to. Practice your prep every single period. Every chance you get. The words you want to hear are ‘he’s a great competitor.’”

The clip also includes LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier throwing, linebacker Davhon Keys working on block sheds, wide receiver Chris Hilton making an over-the-shoulder catch, wide receiver Kylan Billiot catching a pass over what appears to be cornerback Ashton Stamps, running back Caden Durham navigating a run, Hilton catching a pass over cornerback Ja’Keem Jackson, running back Kaleb Jackson breaking a run, and wide receiver Barion Brown making a tough over-the-shoulder catch.
