Noah Harvey’s thumping tackles are his trademark.
Mel Tucker is pushing his senior linebacker to also bring more leadership to his developing defense.
“He's making a conscious effort to do that within his personality,” Tucker said recently. “He's not a rah-rah guy, but he's leading by example — knowing your personnel, knowing how to touch your teammates and how to connect with them is something that he's learning to do and he's getting better at that.”
Saturday’s final spring practice and scrimmage, which starts at 2 p.m. at Spartan Stadium (BTN), will be the first test of that guidance.
