Some good bits in there. Seems WR/RB heavy. If practice jersey numbers are accurate to the current roster then one clip has Karmo blowing up Kaeden Johnson. Johnson is listed at 5’8” but he makes Karmo look like giant. In the other clip Carrier throws down LeGrant. Good stuff!

Very excited to see both Karmo and Carrier.

Considering that he's currently (as in, right at this moment) a highly compensated and highly skilled professional football player...yeah, I'd say he could still play.

Me to, Karmo and Carrier are both players with playmaking and game changing ability.
I think we will see a lot of both this fall. Very talented, cannot have those guys standing on the sideline.
 

Any Pyron notes to be provided? There are GT fans that wish him well here. Good however to see Lindsey commanding the position at this time in the competition.
 

Per Greder:

The highlight of Tuesday’s practice was a one-handed catch from Purdue transfer tight end Drew Bieber. It came in the corner of the end zone from backup quarterback Max Shikenjanski. …. Key injured players: CB Jai’Onte McMillan, OL Kahlee Tafai, RB Fame Ijeboi and WR Malachi Coleman. DL Riley Sunram has returned to practice after being limited; CB ZaQuon Bryan left Tuesday’s practice. … Roman Voss and a few family members were at the U on Tuesday as the Gophers continues to recruit the No. 1 prospect in the state of Minnesota in the 2026 class. The athlete from Jackson County Central recently received offers from Alabama, Oklahoma and Southern Cal. … Former quarterback Max Brosmer attended practice while wearing a Vikings shirt. … Approximately 175 former U players took part in an alumni event held last week. …. UCLA transfer Logan Loya is a candidate for punt returner. … LB Joey Gerlach and CB Naiim Parrish had pass break-ups on consecutive plays Tuesday, each drawing praise from Fleck. … LB Matt Kingsbury had some bright moments, as well.

Per Randy:

Johnson at center, Beers at guard​

Greg Johnson started all 13 games at center last season after spending his freshman season mainly at guard. On Tuesday, the junior was back at left guard, while redshirt junior Ashton Beers took first-team center snaps.

“Greg is just a phenomenal guard,” Fleck said. “We put him at center last year because we needed a center, and he’s really athletic. It helped him learn the entire offense, especially up front. … His natural movement skills, his pad level, his get-off is made for guard.”

Beers, whose nine starts last year all were at guard, is growing into his new role at center, Fleck said.
“[He’s] maybe the most improved lineman we’ve had this spring, especially in his pad level, etc.,”

Fleck said. “I mean, first two practices, you get knocked back by [defensive tackle] Deven Eastern, which most people do. We’re talking 4 or 5 yards in the backfield. And now it’s a battle every single play, where it’s a stalemate or somebody’s winning the line 1 yard on the other side or 1 yard on this side.”
