Several defensive standouts highlight second day of camp

The Colorado State Rams were back in action Saturday afternoon for their second practice of fall camp. The Rams maintained a strong energy level on Day 2 and head coach Mike Bobo said it was evident in the way his team approached the two-hour workout.

"Overall, it was a good day," Bobo said. "I'll have to go back and watch the film, but I thought the energy and effort was there. I thought the guys worked hard."

Among the standouts that Bobo praised after practice was graduate transfer defensive back Jordan Fogal.

"What I see in Jordan Fogal is a guy that knows how to practice," Bobo said of the Utah transfer. "He understands what full speed is every snap. He understands where to get in coverage and he understands breaks on the ball. He's got instincts. That guy has been somewhere that he needs to compete for playing. It's evident."

The linebacker position has been a strength of the Rams for years, and 2017 looks to be no different. While Bobo has high expectations for the returning starters, he acknowledged that they're still working to establish depth at the position.

"I feel good about our 'buck' (linebacker) in Evan Colorito, I feel good about Deonte Clyburn, I feel good about Josh Watson and I feel good about Tre Thomas," Bobo stated. "I feel good about Kiel Robinson being able to fill in at any one of those spots. Other than that, we've got a lot of work to do to find some depth."

The Rams will be back for practice No. 3 tomorrow, donning shells for the first time this season. Follow @CSUFootball on Twitter for updates and check CSURams.com after each practice for exclusive content.
