A huge young man #UConnFootball 6-5, 285 lb DL Philippe Okounam. He redshirted last year. He's playing this yr

#UConnFootball LB Chris Britton ... That bag, filled with sand really is heavy

LB Omaine Stephens played in 9 games on special teams in 2015 but may be ready for bigger role n '16

Brice McAllister is now a safety. Can he become a starter in the defensive backfield with J-Will (Jhavon Williams)?

DL Mikal Myers was a beast in here

RB Ron Johnson is another one comfortable in the weight room

RB Arkeel Newsome and QB Tyler Davis are preparing now for the fourth quarter

Three-time Patriots All Pro and #UConnFootball LB coach and co-DC Vincent Brown still looks like he can go

I didn't see anybody as smooth and tricky with the jump rope than #UConnFootball QB Bryant Shirreffs.

OLs Andreas Knappe and Ryan Crozier, the latter missed last season due to injury but he's ready now

Look at the guns on #UConnFootball WR Hergy Mayala. Totally different look from a year ago.

Pardon the Very Ancient History men, but I am Laughing Outloud thinking back to the early 70's at UCONN, when I seem to remember one of our coaches, who shall remain nameless, pointing at our ONE "Universal Machine", in Field House I think, and saying, (very casually suggesting), sometime after the season, with 3 or so months before Spring Practice-"Hey you guys, why don't you go around on this thing a couple of time a week...."

A couple more from Dez and with one from my hometown that has become a DL Highschool ( with 4 NFL DL's from Windsor, CT in recent years and counting).... for our poster:

Hey there @ktuck911 speaking of that #UConnFootball front 7 you're counting Windsor's Cole Ormsby I'm sure....

Hey there @Bfreeborn this guy was bustin it too Friday #UConnFootball
