As part of media availability on Tuesday, we spoke with head coach Mike Norvell, wide receivers coach Ron Dugans and receivers Keyshawn Helton and Jordan Young.

Norvell took the time to address the recent scholarships given to former walk-ons Wyatt Rector (tight end) and Deonte Sheffield (running back), saying that he believes both have the potential to impact the team this season.

One other storyline was the benefit of Norvell and Dugans’ history as receivers — a topic explored by new Tomahawk Nation contributor Austin Cox.

Norvell also confirmed that offensive lineman Zane Herring will miss the season after having shoulder surgery, while Dugans alluded to freshman receiver Bryan Robinson being hurt, though didn’t go into further detail.

Senior defensive tackle Marvin Wilson added another accolade to his resume Tuesday, having been named a preseason first-team AP All-American.
