UNH preparing for Blue/White scrimmage
The University of New Hampshire football team will hold its annual Blue/White spring scrimmage on May 9 at Cowell Stadium. The scrimmage is scheduled to start at 12:30 p.m and admission is free.
The UNH offense has several key skill players returning in starting positions. Among the returness is junior quarterback R.J. Toman, who has a full year as a starter under his belt. Also returning is senior running back Chad Kackert, who was one of UNH's top ball-carriers last season, and senior All-American tight end Scott Sicko.
One question mark for the Wildcats as they enter the 2009 season will be how the team's young offensive line develops. The Wildcats will build around senior center Tom Neill and senior Dan Larkin.
UNH fans may be treated to one of the best defensive teams the program has had in recent years. The front line, which has size and experience, will be led by senior Jordan Long, senior Steve Young, senior Kevin Peters, and sophomore Brian McNally. All four are returning starters.
Senior linebacker Sean Ware and junior linebacker Devon Jackson will be expected to provide leadership. Both return as starters. The Wildcats also return starters at the cornerback positions with junior Dino Vasso and senior Ryan Hinds.
The Wildcats will open the 2009 season on Sept. 5, when they meet St. Francis at Cowell Stadium.
