HEAD COACH JEROD MAYO
PRESS CONFERENCE
June 4, 2024
JM: Hello friends, family. I’m excited to be back out here, excited to have some good weather as well. I could do without the pollen, but I hear Thursday is going to rain, so if I sound a little nasally, it’s the pollen. Fire away.

Obviously, we look at Big Mike [Mike Onwenu], saying he has the right side locked down, but these guys are all competing. They’re able to slide to different spots. They’re working out of a sense of abundance where those guys are working together, trying to get better. Once training camp gets here, we’ll see what happens.
