Bruin football closed out another successful session of two a day practices today. The Bruins took to Spaulding field at 9 am and 4 pm for practices marked by high paced, hard hitting playmakers.

On offense, Anthony Barr continued to impress, not only in his big playmaking abilities but in his versatility. Over the last few weeks he's proven that he can not only make plays downfield through his precise route running but also carrying the ball and blocking. In addition to Barr, Christian Ramirez has similarly proven his reliability in multiple facets of the game, and has even helped in Barr's development by offering tips and demonstrating assignments. Ricky Marvray had another productive day at the receiver position, demonstrating his sure hands and athleticism by nearly jumping over defenders to snag passes. The receiving corps has found reliable targets in Nelson Rosario and Taylor Embree who have built upon their successes from previous seasons and continue to grow as players.

Defensively, the line applied pressure to the quarterbacks all day, often forcing QBs to dump the ball off for a small gain or securing the incompletion. Their job was certainly aided by an impressive group of linebackers in Akeem Ayers, who had multiple interceptions today and Sean Westgate who was imposing in coverage and coming up to play the run.

There is certainly no shortage of excitement throughout practice as the high octane offense is consistently battling an incredibly well coached, stingy defense.

The Bruins take the field next tomorrow at 3 pm. Come join! Remember, all practices throughout fall preseason camp are open to the public!
