Kyle Whittingham Era Begins: Culture Shift and Fall Camp Opens

New HC Kyle Whittingham has implemented a major culture shift, overhauling the strength program and emphasizing toughness. Fall camp is open; Whittingham struck a measured tone about year-one depth. The 4-2-5 defensive scheme is being analyzed for its potential against elite QBs. Freshmen like Salesi Moa, Meadows, and Hiter are generating buzz for immediate impact. D-line depth is a focus, with Edokpayi and Meadows emerging as freakish edge options. Two players (Tatum, Charleston) have left the team, slightly thinning depth. Carter Meadows has bulked to 252 lbs, boosting edge depth.
