Jack Jones will not participate in spring practice to focus on academics, according to Clay Helton. He is also suspended from the first game because of a team rules violation. Tight end Daniel Imatorbhebhe is also out for the spring to let his hip heal that he hurt last year.

Tailback Vavae Malepeai was limited, which meant Aca’cedric Ware was the lone scholarship tailback. Safety Marcell Tell was also limited. Dominic Davis is moving back to tailback after spending last season at cornerback.

Clay Helton said he would not name a starter in spring, which is good since he expects JT Daniels to start.

UPDATED: Cornerback Jamel Cook is transferring, which was expected.
