Spring follow-up

Here’s a link to the latest Yale notebook in case you missed it. Some additional notes below...
QB SITUATION
Well, there’s really no news here. As previously reported, Eric Williams and Henry Furman are a notch above the rest of the group. That hasn’t changed. Expect Clemson-transfer Morgan Roberts to compete right away and be in that mix as well.
Reno said Cromwell-product Anthony Morales had a solid spring and had an impressive drive in the scrimmage last month.
"To be continued," Reno said. No one grabbed the job yet. Someone has to grab the job. I’m looking forward to the competition."
A LOOK AT THE D
Reno said the Bulldogs will mix it up with a three, four and sometimes five-man front.
As he showed last season, Reno is not afraid to play freshmen. Expect more of that this season. He said the d-line and the defensive backs will see the biggest impact from freshmen.
"Those are two ares where we will see a lot of young guys playing," Reno said.
Other notes on the defensive line: Reno liked the improvement of DE Mikhail Reece, Carl Kreitzberg will be in the mix this season and Kyle White has moved over from the offensive line.
As noted before, Reno is very high on LB Will Vaughan. He said he’s become one of the team leaders during the offseason. Same thing with fellow LB Andrew Larkin. He was a late recruit when Reno came to Yale. He runs well, he’s very aggressive and comes from a strong high school program in Glenbard West. Expect to hear his name a lot more, too.
O-LINE
The offensive line may have been the Bulldogs biggest strength last season. Right now the the line appears to be John Oppenheimer, Will Chism, Ben Carberry, Wes Gavin and Luke Longinotti.
Reno said Carberry, who missed seven weeks with an injury last year, is the most talented of that bunch and Gavin is the most improved, Reno said.
ANSWERS TO A FEW OTHER QUESTIONS...
-Yale will scrimmage Brown on Sept. 7. Where and whether or not it will be an open scrimmage is TBA.
-The only change to this year’s uniform is that the "Y" will no longer be on the shoulder.
-Perhaps Holy Cross will be on the Bulldogs schedule in the near future.
"I’d like to get back to playing Holy Cross," Reno said. "It’s a great rivalry and a great regional game. We’re working to get that back on the schedule for sure."
Reno would like to schedule one scholarship school each year and noted Yale continues to look at CAA teams.
