Texas State football and head coach Jake Spavital are closing in on the end of fall camp.
In comparison to the first two weeks of preparation, the Bobcats’ focus has shifted from evaluating the entire team to more of a handful of individual players. For many veterans who have multiple years in the program like redshirt junior safety Tory Spears, junior outside linebacker Jordan Revels, and redshirt junior runningback Jahmyl Jeter, rep counts are significantly reduced. That’s because the program knows what they can do — Spavital and his staff are trying to see more of what the additions’ skillsets are, giving the majority of reps to them.
“Overall, I think we’re progressing as a team,” Spavital said. “I talked last time about (the offense and defense) going back and forth and that still continues right now. Both sides are responding every practice, (and) I love to see that. We’re starting to pull back on some of the guys that already have made the depth charts, the guys that have started here for a long time, you know, we know what they’re capable of doing. So we’re getting a lot of evaluations on a lot of other kids right now. Today it was practice 11, tomorrow, we’ve got a recovery day and then we’ve got three more practices left on Thursday, Friday, (and) Saturday, and then we wrap up fall camp. So it’s almost here, it’s upon us right now, but we still got to get a lot of evaluations out of these (last) three days.
