Emphasizing the need to refine passing capabilities and reduce turnovers, Rhule highlighted that success in these areas isn’t solely dependent on the quarterback but also hinges on receivers’ ability to get open and secure catches. He expressed optimism about witnessing significant plays during practice, hinting at a potential turnaround in the team’s offensive performance.
Regarding the development of the team’s three scholarship quarterbacks—Heinrich Haarberg, Dylan Raiola, and Danny Kaelin—Rhule expressed satisfaction with their progress, noting that they are ahead of his initial expectations. The upcoming weeks will feature scrimmages culminating in the Red-White spring game on April 27, marking the end of spring drills.
