junior quarterback Brent Caprio recently sat down with TribeAthletics.com to

Coaches Call:
Offensive
Coordinator Zbig Kepa:

lot of competition for reps this spring.
We are looking for one of the quarterbacks to separate himself from the
pack in terms of being a leader and managing the offense. Our goal is to improve at throwing the ball
downfield this fall and stretch out defenses."
