Aaron Turner, senior
Turner has been making plays in one on one drills and when they go live. He shifty and has gotten behind the defense a few times for big plays. The growth that the senior has shown so far looks like he will be a playmaker in the fall for the Bearcats.
We talked to Turner this week and he said, he’s taken on the leadership role and hasn’t run from the competition in the room.
Sterling Berkhalter, redshirt junior
Berkhalter has been making plays all fall, he scored a few times in the red zone drill making clean catches and getting separation when it mattered. Like, Turner, he also looks more comfortable his second year in the system. He had a drop on Thursday that would’ve been a big play, but besides that one rep, he’s been very impressive.
Michael Mussari, redshirt freshman
Mussari has been Mr. Hands all fall practice. He beat Jordan Young in the one on one drills for a touchdown and of the receivers that line up against Young he’s the first one that I’ve seen get a big play on him all camp. Mussari is a walk on, but is playing like a guy that could be apart of the rotation even if it is a small role. Ask anybody that has been watching the Cats so far No. 81’s name will come up.
