Kicker Drew Brown takes the podium first. "I think everyone's excited to get to work."
— Evan Bland (@EvanBlandOWH) July 29, 2017
Brown wants to play his senior for Sam Foltz who never got a chance to play his senior year. #huskers
— Sam McKewon (@swmckewonOWH) July 29, 2017
Brown: "I'm sure half the fan base couldn't even tell you who our long snapper is because he's done such a good job." (It's Jordan Ober.)

Mick Stoltenberg said Deontre Thomas and Damion Daniels are hard workers and willing to listen. Reminds him of Davis twins. #huskers
— Sam McKewon (@swmckewonOWH) July 29, 2017
Stoltenberg: "Definitely one of the hardest-working summers since I've been here, for sure." Mixing football and strength/conditioning.
— Evan Bland (@EvanBlandOWH) July 29, 2017
Young on linebacker depth: "There's a lot of great players in the room. There will be a lot of competition in the room."
— Evan Bland (@EvanBlandOWH) July 29, 2017
Linebacker Dedrick Young up next. Says he's becoming more comfortable with the 3-4 defense.
— Evan Bland (@EvanBlandOWH) July 29, 2017
Tight end Tyler Hoppes is taking a few minutes. Says he was happy with his spring and wants to live up to Riley's expectations of him.
— Evan Bland (@EvanBlandOWH) July 29, 2017
Hoppes: "The summer was hard. We're definitely in good condition."
— Evan Bland (@EvanBlandOWH) July 29, 2017
O-lineman Nick Gates will be the final player talking today. Says bowl game "pushed me" during summer work.
— Evan Bland (@EvanBlandOWH) July 29, 2017
Nick Gates said OL is "ahead of schedule" in comparison to last season.
— Sam McKewon (@swmckewonOWH) July 29, 2017
Gates said he had an ankle injury during the season and was "about 70 percent" by the bowl game. Now healthy and weighing ~305 pounds.
— Evan Bland (@EvanBlandOWH) July 29, 2017
Gates said "it doesn't really change too much" blocking for a pro-style QB as opposed to a mobile one.
— Evan Bland (@EvanBlandOWH) July 29, 2017
Gates: "We're going to move the rock this year, so I'm excited." Cites better conditioning so they won't "die" in 4th quarter this year.

So we messed around and made a time lapse at #Huskers Fan Day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ pic.twitter.com/8ymiXXAleY
