Spring Practice No. 1 in the Books for Tulsa
TULSA, Okla. āā The Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team returned to the practice field today for the first of 15 spring practice dates. The Hurricane went through a 105-minute practice on the turf of H.A. Chapman Stadium.
Head Coach Philip Montgomery was pleased with Tuesdayās workout with the energy that the Hurricane showed.
āI really loved our energy today,ā said Montgomery. āWe have a lot of new faces and young guys that are getting reps, and I thought they handled it well. We didnāt get our tempo exactly the way I wanted, but again itās the first day with new faces. I loved their intent on learning what they were doing. I thought we did a good job with that. Now, we just have to build from day one to day two.ā
Montgomery talked about the work of the offensive line on day one after losing four starters from last season. āI thought we did some good things today upfront. Weāll learn more as we watch the tape, but we do have a lot of new faces there,ā said Montgomery. āFor us, in our program, what weāve always believed is that it all starts in the trenches, so those big men are going to be the way we roll this year.ā
The Hurricane saw Kendarin Ray at safety and receiver Keylon Stokes return to the field after missing most of the 2021 season with injuries.
āThere was a lot of excitement about K-Ray and Sleep being back on the field today,ā said Montgomery. āWeāre going to be smart with K-Ray. We know what he can do. We just want to see him continue to build and get better every day. He may have some days where we hold him back and some days that we let him go a little more.ā
āKeylon has been a playmaker all the way through. He does a little bit of everything for us. It was great to have him back. He always brings energy and leadership. It was exciting to watch him work today,ā added Montgomery.
