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



#UConnFootball coach Diaco says Matt Balis best strength and conditioning coach in America players won't disagree

#UConnFootball RB Arkeel Newsome




Seriously, a kicker... #UConnFootball's Bobby Puyol


WR Tyraiq Beals looks bigger too since end of last season



And here's another for @ErikCampbell to keep an eye on in #UConnFootball WR @NoelThomas05



New #UConnFootball WR coach @ErikCampbell checking out one of his players Hergy Mayala



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

#UConnFootball OL Trey Rutherford motivates others in here, too



Here comes #UConnFootball S Obi Melifonwu....



QB Garrett Anderson performs well in here



OL Bryan Cespedes of New London has bulked up



RSFR OL Matt Peart should be a go in 2016...



#UConnFootball workout intense? Look at offensive line coach Mike Cummings




OL Steve Hashemi



Would you expect anything different from #UConnFootball TE Tommy Myers?



What does one of the nation's best cornerbacks last season do for an encore in 2016? #UConnFootball's Jamar Summers



Players, DT Foley Fatukasi ran; Coaches ran, DC Anthony Poindexter



#UConnFootball Asst coach David Corley has a few, ahem, encouraging words for DT Tre Blackwell



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




#UConnFootball OLs Andreas Knappe, Richard Levy n Matt Peart who many believe will be best school has ever produced





These bags are heavy, filled with sand and #UConnFootball LB Matt Walsh threw it up on his shoulders like a jacket




#UConnFootball punter Justin Wain hustling too



#UConnFootball power players LBs Junior Joseph and E.J. Levenberry (back), the #FloridaState transfer now eligible



#UConnFootball coach Bob Diaco pushing LB Luke Carrezola to do even more



LB Cam Stapleton and his #Huskies teammates got it in early today

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...."
