“I felt this football team and they way that they practiced,” Norvell said. “We’ve been able to add two additions to the program.”
“I really think there will be a few more additions at a few more positions and (I’m) excited about where that’s heading as we enter the summer months.”
Norvell revealed that the two missed practices will not be added to their practice allotment in the preseason.
