Coming into college can be an overwhelming thing. Bigger campus, more people, all while taking on a considerable load of school work and extracurriculars. For a highly-touted college football player, those uncomfortable feelings only magnify.
The speed of play ramps up, the stadium all the sudden gains 40,000 or more seats and it’s all football all the time.
That mantra really shows itself in fall camp. Without classes, on a typical day players will attend meetings, practice, lift weights, watch film and go through a walk-through.
It seems daunting. Going through a grueling, hectic schedule in a foreign setting with unfamiliar faces swirling.
