Jay Thomas Contact Quotations

We have about 60 percent of the team right now. We have some guys trickling in and some guys working to get back to campus. Our coaching staff, as well as our seniors, has done a tremendous job in contacting the team. They have been working the phones since Thursday. We've been in contact with every player and everyone is safe. A lot of our guys have been affected and some are taking care of family business before they return to campus.

It was exciting for the players to put on full pads. Full pads allow the coaches to better evaluate the players. The players seem to step it up a notch when the full contact starts.
