The Idaho Vandals football team is gearing up for a dynamic spring practice under the guidance of head coach Thomas Ford Jr. The focus this season is on increasing tempo, with quarterback Joshua Wood, a redshirt junior, advocating for a fast-paced offense. During a recent practice, Wood noted the importance of executing no-huddle and 'sugar huddle' plays to keep defenses off-balance. A standout moment came from wide receiver Ryan Jezioro, who made a spectacular near 50-yard catch. The defensive side is also making strides, with graduate cornerback Jacob Skobis energizing teammates by intercepting Wood during drills. Ford highlighted the impressive performance of the Augustus twins, Jamarion and Javen, who are expected to bolster the defensive line. As the team continues to refine their strategies, they will practice again on Saturday, aiming for increased physicality despite not going live yet.
