The one different Spartan to attain was true freshman quarterback Tama Amisone, the previous Kapolei Excessive (Hawaii) star who ripped off a powerful 55-yard landing run.

“He’s a great change-up for what Walker is,” Stutzmann mentioned of Amisone. “Tama, he is a twitchy, fast athlete. He’s growing in the pass game, but he’s got to develop a little more as a passer.”

Amisone and senior Xavier Ward are 2A and 2B on the depth chart behind Eget, in response to Stutzmann, who gave a robust vote of confidence to Eget.

“He’s growing into himself, everybody knows he’s a leader on the offense,” Stutzmann mentioned of Eget.

On the defensive aspect, Eget’s former highschool teammate and present roommate, linebacker Brady Van Bennekum, stood out with an interception and an nearly pick-6 that received referred to as again by an offsides penalty.

“He’s got a knack for the ball,” Eget mentioned of Van Bennekum. “He got me twice this spring.”

Defensive coordinator Derrik Odum has been happy with Bennekum’s spring, particularly along with his potential to make massive performs. Bennekum is close to the highest of the “Big Play Board” this spring, in response to Odum.

“He’s definitely a guy that finds the ball and looks to make and finish plays,” Odum added.

Norton’s teammate Kejuan Bullard Jr. has seen Norton’s development since he transferred from El Camino Faculty.

“He came in being new to the system, coming in with all of us, and we all know the system, I feel like he picked it up pretty fast and he’s been working hard to get on the field,” Bullard mentioned.
