STILLWATER -- Dressed in full pads, the Oklahoma State football team held its sixth practice of spring ball Friday at the Sherman E. Smith Training Facility. After the approximately two hour-long session, receivers coach Kasey Dunn shared his thoughts:
Receivers Coach Kasey Dunn
On Friday's practice:
"It was good. There are a lot of things that we still need to work on and improve, but for the most part everybody is playing hard, fast and competing. It's really a competitive practice because of all the corners and DBs that we have that make it interesting and difficult on the wide outs, so it's fun."
On how the receivers have developed between last year and now:
"I think everybody is stepping forward and making more plays. Last year we really wanted Jhajuan (Seales) to grab more than what he did and I think he's seeing that now. He had kind of that sophomore slump. He understands that and he's coming back. He's bounced back. I expect really good things out of him. He's playing very well right now in spring ball. James Washington hasn't missed a beat, so he's continuing to play well. I'll tell you another one that really has jumped up and started to play well is Marcell. Marcell Ateman has stepped forward this spring as well, so right now we're really happy with our receiving corps."
On specific goals for the receivers this spring:
"It's always one of those things where everybody likes to catch the ball and everybody wants to score touchdowns, so as a receiver coach you always focus on blocking. That's the one thing they don't want to do, so if we have any one goal or objective that would be it, just to make sure that we're better blockers on the perimeter for our running backs."
