Let's take a look at what Coach Oliphant and a few standout players shared during our visit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/pepman704/status/1783681144803794982","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/pepman704/status/1783681144803794982 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL Chase Davis - Davis led the charge on a big and strong-looking offensive line for the Wildcats that looked efficient in coming off the football and creating lanes in the running game. Chase shared some strengths of his as an offensive lineman in our interview. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/pepman704/status/1783682759392641255","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/pepman704/status/1783682759392641255 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DL Jacob Domengaux - Jacob is a returning All-Conference Defensive Lineman who is strong at the point of attack and has a good ability to shed blocks and control the line of scrimmage. Jacob will be an important leader for the Wildcats defense this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/pepman704/status/1783684185007264154","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/pepman704/status/1783684185007264154 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB [player_tooltip player_id='1671870' first='Mozes' last='Morris'] - A major key to the Wildcats offensive attack, Mozes totaled over 1000 all-purpose yards last season for the Wildcats. Mozes is a true 3-down back who can run effectively, catch the ball out of the backfield, and be a threat on special teams in the kick return and punt return game as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/pepman704/status/1783685699419439431","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/pepman704/status/1783685699419439431 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
