#19 Brock Bowers | So. | TE
On the energy in spring practice...
"I feel like everyone has good energy right now. We just have to sustain it for the rest of spring because everyone is always excited to come out with pads on the first couple times. We just have to sustain that energy through the whole of camp."
On midyears Lawson Luckie and Pearce Spurlin...
"They've been doing good. They're just buried in the playbook right now because it's a big transition from high school. That's how I felt about it. They're getting it, and they're making a lot of plays."
On what he is working on this spring...
"I want to continue to get stronger in the weight room and really focus on the small details of my game like my route running and being more dominant in the run game, too."
On offensive coordinator Mike Bobo's offense this spring...
"He's been throwing a few wrinkles of his own in there. He's been doing a good job. We've kept most of the same terms, and he's made it an easy transition for all of us. I like what he's been doing. He's thrown a few wrinkles in there that I like."

On his role this spring...
"I would say my role this year is to become a better leader, a more vocal guy that leads by example. We've got a lot of midyears this spring, and I'm just trying to bring those guys along."
On taking over the role as the experienced cornerback...
"Kelee was a great player and a great guy. He's one of my great friends. I really learned a lot from him, DK [Derion Kendrick], and [Ameer] Speed. They kind of taught me the way. I wouldn't say it's too hard because I know what to do."
On what leadership skills he has learned from past players...
"Just to approach every day like it's your last day, your last opportunity. Treat people with respect and do the little things right."
On being a veteran in the defensive-back room...
"When you really think about it, it's crazy. It feels like just yesterday I was coming in as the new guy on the block. Just learning now I'm going into my third year, we have some younger guys looking up to us, and it's kind of crazy."
