THREE TAKEAWAYS:
- It was yet another hot day in Birmingham. The Blazers were once again in just helmets so there wasn't tackling. As the new players continue to get their feet wet, practice will increase to shells on Friday and Saturday, then full pads on Monday.
- Wide receiver Austin Watkins was the standout player on day two of camp. Watkins was making big plays throughout the day, and specifically at the end during 7-on-7. The junior played in four games last year before utilizing the redshirt rule. With UAB's top four pass catches gone from a year ago, Tyler Johnston III is finding himself throwing to a cast of talented but new players, headlined by Watkins.
- Up front defensively, Garrett Marino will get most of the attention, but a crew of players alongside of him are starting to develop a rotation. Along with Marino, a formidable group of Fish McWilliams, Antonio Moultrie, Tony Fair, Mi'Cario Stanley Jaunta'vius Johnson, Kevin Penn and Michael Fairbanks III are battling for playing time on the interior.
