UTSA defensive linemen go through drills to work on their quickness, agility and footwork during Tuesday morning’s practice outside the RACE.

Note: I saw two players wearing No. 94 in the defensive line drills. The roster lists 94 as Corey Walls and also Kenny Ozowalu. I will clarify who is whom and will update this later. For the moment those two are identified in these photos only by their number.

Others who went through drills included Jon Jones, Daemian Wimberly, Mike Williams Jr., Travon Sylvester, Donal Quaite Jr., Chidera Otutu, Zechariah Robinson, Jaylan Jones, Anthony Santoscoy, Kaian Roberts, Jameian Buxton and Tai Leonard.
