STILLWATER – Wearing shoulder pads for the first time this season, the Oklahoma State football team wrapped up its third day of fall camp Thursday morning at the Sherman E. Smith Training Center. After practice, receivers coach Kasey Dunn shared his thoughts on the session:
On today's practice:
"It's just like anything else. As soon as you get (into shoulder pads) there are a few more drops. Guys go across the middle and start thinking about where they're going to get hit from. We put a couple more balls on the ground today, but that's expected on the first day of pads. All in all, it was a good day. I liked how James (Washington) came out and competed. He got out to a really good start today and played great. You've got some of the other guys that are coming along. (Jalen) McCleskey and (Austin) Hays had a good day. (Jhajuan) Seales and (Chris) Lacy had a good day. I'm happy with the progress."
On the depth at the wide receiver position:
"It's really solid. We've got some guys that have gotten a lot of snaps in the past. I'm not continually coaching the major things like routes. It's more about fine tuning things for the individuals that are out on the field, which is great. You're talking about small releases, add-ons to certain routes or certain ways you can break as opposed to saying this is what you've got on this play. It's been fun for me and it's been fun for them."
On if he's seen any of the receivers step up after Marcell Ateman's injury:
(Jhajuan) Seales and (Chris) Lacy are jumping up right now. They're getting up and competing. It's just fun because of this competition that they have going on at the X spot. Obviously it's going to breed a situation to where they're both getting better over time because neither of them are relaxing. They're both playing really hard because they both want to start there. Anytime you have that competition, you're going to get something good out of it, so that's the direction we're headed."
On how the newcomers have looked after the first three days:
"Good. Dillon Stoner looks good, Tyrell Alexander looks good. They're a couple of young guys that have come in, and I'm happy with their progress for sure. I'd be surprised if we didn't see them on the field come day one. We took the right guys. They're living up to expectations, and I'm happy with what I've seen so far."
