- Easy to be excited for the new members of our Aggie Family when you know the type of people they will be surrounded by! Love coaching these dudes! Can’t wait to get back to work
- Proud of all of our @UCDfootball grads! Especially @Trimble29, @cade_peacock and @zach_attack0014. Going to miss you in the OLB room. Continue to work hard and treat people right - Bright futures ahead! 🤘
- Loved being able to watch @cade_peacock fly around this fall. Proud of how hard he's worked to put himself in this position and excited to see him cut it loose. Can't wait for everyone to see him back making plays on the edge!
- A Freshman All-American and Big Sky Freshman of the Year, @nick_eaton11 is a playmaker in the OLB room. He plays with an edge and brings a contagious energy to the practice field every day. Can't wait to see him continue to grow and develop!
- He's a force in the run game, effective in coverage and knows how to get after the QB. @Trimble29 consistently executes at an extremely high level. His passion for the game and determination to be great are a couple of the reasons he is a respected leader in our OLB room.
- Always the first guy on the practice field, it was a joy to watch @jackson_cloyd practice this winter. A highly talented player with the ability to make an impact all over the field, his work ethic and football IQ make his future in the OLB room bright!
- Defend the run, rush the passer, cover. @Trimble29 can do it all at a high level. He brings toughness to the OLB room and leadership to our defense. Respect his humility, competitiveness and desire to make this team great. Excited to watch you play in the spring 7!
- Added @Luka_Sarac1 and @ConnorBarbato to the OLB room this Fall. Not only can they both get after the QB, but they are relentless workers who got better every day. Can't wait to see these guys continue to grow and develop!
- Fast and Physical! @nick_eaton11 is disruptive on the field. Proud of his leadership and his attention to detail this fall. Constantly works to perfect his craft. Can't wait to see your hard work pay off in the spring!
