WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (March 31, 2014) – Today's William and Mary football spring practice update features a video interview with fullback Darnell Laws, as well as a quick look at the Tribe's spring depth chart at tight end and fullback.
Tight End and Fullbacks Coach
Mario Acitelli:
“Overall, I've been impressed with the hard work our group has put in to this point in spring. They have handled the transition to a new position coach really well, and I look forward to seeing how far we can progress as a group during the remainder of practice. We have a varied group, in terms of playing experience. At fullback, we have two guys in Darnell [Laws] and Andrew [Weidinger] who have seen a significant amount of game action, but when you look at the tight end position, really only Bo [Revell] has significant game experience.”
