🏈 FALL CAMP IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY! 🔴⚫
Coach Jeff Brohm took the mic following Day 1 of practice to recap where the Cards stand as they gear up for the 2026 season! With a massive Labor Day weekend neutral-site opener on the horizon, the focus is strictly on details, depth, and health.
Here’s the breakdown from Coach Brohm’s opening presser:
💥 NEW CALLER, STACKED DEFENSE
Coach Brohm officially confirmed that Mark Ivey will be calling plays for the defense this season. Brohm praised the unit’s elite depth up front, led by veterans like Clev Lubin and A.J. Green alongside transfer additions, and highlighted a long, athletic secondary built to lock things down.
🎯 OFFENSIVE FIREPOWER
QB Outlook: Lincoln had a solid Day 1, showing off quick decision-making and a big arm to push the ball downfield.
Speed Out Wide: Trey Richardson is 100% healthy and ready to take the top off opposing defenses vertically.
Physicality Up Front: A deeper O-line and a versatile TE group, featuring Brody, Justin Reed, and 6’6″ freshman target Julius Miles, are set to lead the charge.
⚠️ HEALTH & SPECIAL TEAMS
Running Back Room: Managing minor bumps to keep Isaac Brown and Ca’Lil Valentine fresh for game one while transfer Maris Davis and Keyjuan Brown hold down the backfield.
Special Teams: Brohm brought the honesty, special teams kicked off camp with heavy competition, and the next 4 weeks will be all about bringing consistency to the kicking game.
