Per Randy:
Other takeaways from Fleck's Thursday morning appearance:
• Fleck said his team is healthy entering training camp with one exception: Redshirt freshman offensive lineman Jerome Williams will miss the season because of an injury suffered in a non-football activity. "Other than that, we are healthy."
• Quarterback Max Brosmer, the transfer from New Hampshire, has impressed the coach because of his inquisitive nature. "He's a very curious, curious individual," Fleck said. "Any time you have a curious leader, you can accomplish a lot."
• Dragan Kesich, the reigning Big Ten Kicker of the Year, accompanied teammates Brosmer, Darius Taylor and Cody Lindenberg to Indianapolis to be the team's social media liaison. Kesich made 23 field goals last year, but Fleck hopes to use him less often.
"If you have the Big Ten Kicker of the Year, you're probably not very good on offense," he said. "… You're kicking way too many field goals."
