An unnamed "insider" talked to BON about what's taking place in the closed Spring practices.
At quarterback, redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard is making plays in the zone read game... Tyrone Swoopes is still ahead in the competition, setting himself apart with his work ethic on and off the field. He stays late to throw extra passes, he lives in the film room...
[Dorian] Leonard is becoming a physical force on the field, a trait that could help him become a reliable target on third down.
Wickline thinks that [Tristan Nickelson] is the "real deal" because of his motor and overall work ethic. If there's one area where he's still lagging behind, it's with his strength, which could necessitate a redshirt after all depending on how the other early enrollees develop.
[Malik] Jefferson is "as advertised" and "unblockable" on the field and making plays all over the field already.
[T]he negative players who impacted others are now gone and there's a much more positive attitude overall. "Off the charts" positive, in fact, according to the source.
