Coach Fleck Previews 2022 Spring Practice - University of Minnesota Athletics
Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck met the media on Tuesday to preview spring practice, which kicks off today.
He sounds really upset about last year and really excited about this year:
Mo running at 100%. Potts fully involved in workouts. (Neither in contact yet; but good news none the less.)
Two transfer DBs, Ryan Stapp from Abilene Christian and Beanie Bishop from WKU, look good.
Center JMS stayed for year six. Brought in Michigan transfer Filiaga for year 6 to help o-line.
Likely starting OT Ersery ceiling prbly higher than any lineman he's had here.
Boe, Shaw, Cooper, Lewis have been in o-line room and ready to step up.
Chance we will enter season with ten o-line guys with big game experience. (Ruschmeyer also returned, Carroll still coming; Guedet in year 4, Ruschmeyer in year 6).
Vandy d-line transfer Surgers looks really good in workouts. Good words on Clemson dline guy, Jefferies.
Sounds like he is really happy with new dline coach. Players hang on every word.
Fleck loves depth in o-line and d-line. Maybe more depth than last year. Says not especially worried about either position despite big turnover.
Fleck says he failed in not surpassing nine wins last year. Says his offense failed in consistency.
Sounds like he has confidence they can get monster seasons from Dylan Wright, Daniel Jackson, Michael Brown Stephens.
Autman-Bell looks amazing.
Team hasn't had a better off season.
LFG!
