Welcome to the third episode of spring 2023 edition of Climbing the Mountain, presented by Encova Insurance.

We switch over to the defensive side of the ball this week and first chat with defensive line coach Andrew Jackson, who discusses replacing Dante Stills and the consistency his position room needs to have in 2023.

Linebacker Lee Kpogba and defensive back Malachi Ruffin then joined the program to discuss Malachi’s growth and Lee becoming a leader in his final season.

We then close out the third episode with linebacker Jared Bartlett and defensive back Aubrey Burks, who update us on the progression during the third week of spring practice.
