Preseason Practices Underway

The 2017 Hobart Statesmen enter their 124th season of play and are hard at work preparing for the upcoming season.

HWS Athletics uploaded a short video of preseason practice clips that feature SR WR Brandon Shed, SR LB Almamy Conde, among several others. While the incoming FY players haven't yet been applied to the roster as of this posting, I would expect that to happen in the next 24-48 hours.

You can see the highlights from practice here.

Hobart Football Class of 2018

I noted SR RB Joe Letizia has switched from #25 to #1, SO WR John DelliSanti is now #9 and SO QB Ryan Hoffman is now #10 and SO OLB Jayson Prince is now #20. There may be a couple of other changes, but those jumped out at first glance.

Some bad news is incoming FY WR / DB Jack Daley of Wakefield, MA has apparently suffered a potential season-ending injury at the start of camp. Hoping for the best for Jack and his extended family.

An intra-squad scrimmage is scheduled for Saturday at 3:30 PM ET. I'll provide some eye-witness reports on how it goes this weekend.

A week from today D3football.com will release it's 2017 preseason online preview magazine, "Kickoff". Please consider buying a subscription as you won't be disappointed. It's definitely one of a kind when it comes to D3FB coverage (and I wrote a couple pieces too).

Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!

  1. Jack Daley is having ACL surgery by the best sports medicine knee Doctor in Boston who feels confident Jack will not only return to practice in the spring but will be stronger than before following the surgery. The Coaches, team and parents collective support of Jack through this tough time is so appreciated by his family. Jlegs will return. He is a Titan of a young man and we believe in him.
