NEW ORLEANS – Tulane football opened up fall camp inside Yulman Stadium on Friday morning, donning just helmets for practice number one. After a team stretch, the Green Wave performed two hours of drills before first-year head coach Willie Fritz gathered the team mid-field to cap off practice and the start of a new era Uptown.
Hitting the turf for the first time in 2016, the Wave went through conditioning drills as units before competing in 1-on-1, then 7-on-7 situations. After going through some team ball security, the Wave reunited for an 11-on-11 team drill.
Player of the Day
Cornerback Donnie Lewis was seen speeding all over the field on Friday morning. The redshirt-sophomore highlighted the defensive effort on the day, reeling in a pair of interceptions.
Play of the Day
During the 7-on-7 drill, freshman quarterback Darius Bradwell connected with sophomore wide receiver Frank Thomas on a crossing route in the middle of the field. The 6-4 Thomas utilized all of his height when he leaped into the air, fully outstretched, to reel in the pass for a 25-yard gain.
Quote of the Day
"It's about the details and doing the little things right," Fritz stated. "We got to change and be a more disciplined team. I talk to these guys all the time about the Wave not beating the Wave in pre-snap and post-play penalties."
Up Next
Tulane will return to the field on Saturday morning for a closed practice. The next open practice for the media will be on Sunday morning at 7:45 a.m. when the Wave don shoulder pads for the first time.
