BIRMINGHAM - Beginning its second week of spring practice, the UAB football team held its fourth practice on Monday morning at the Football Operations Center.
THREE TAKEAWAYS:
UAB's annual Pepsi Spring Game is slated for April 6 at Legion Field. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. and tickets can be purchased by clicking here.
The Blazers look to defend their C-USA title in 2019 after a record-setting year in which they finished with a program-best 11-3 record. The historic season was capped with UAB's first-ever bowl victory in the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl, a 37-13 victory over Northern Illinois.
THREE TAKEAWAYS:
- The Blazers were in full pads on a brisk Monday and play their first closed scrimmage of the spring season on Wednesday at Legion Field.
- Redshirt freshman Werlean Pollock has turned some heads in the beginning of spring ball at running back. Pollock was a defensive back last season, but transitioned to running back for the bowl game where he carried the ball one time in his only action of the 2018 season. Pollock has been a standout through four practices this spring.
- As expected, the spring has been very competitive as younger players are battling for 15 vacated starting positions left behind by last year's graduating class. It is a new look, yet talented group of players trying to earn a spot.
