It has been a long time since Jerrion Ealy had this much downtime between seasons.
The sophomore running back is happy to be back on a practice field and wearing pads for the first time since the 2019 Egg Bowl. Usually, Ealy transitions right from football in December to the baseball in February before pivoting back to football in the summer.
This past spring was much different for Ealy, and quarterback John Rhys Plumlee, after the baseball season was cut short after 16 games due to the COVID-19 pandemic that ended the entire spring slate of sports.
