TORERO TIDBITS: Second year head coach Jim Harbaugh will welcome approximately 110 student-athletes (58 returners from last year's 7-4 club) when they report to camp on Tuesday, August 9th ... on Wednesday, August 10th, the team will hold their first practice at 2:00 p.m. at the Manchester Athletic Field. See complete camp schedule below.
STAFF UPDATE: Coach Harbaugh returns four assistants - Tim Drevno, Off. Coordinator & OL; Dave Adolph, who has been elevated to Asst. Head Coach, Def. Coordinator and LB Coach; Jimmie Dougherty, tight ends coach; and Mike Rish, Senior Off. Asst/Receivers. New to the staff is Lance Anderson, Def. Line/Recruiting Coordinator; Ed Lamb, Secondary/Special Teams Coor.; DelVaughn Alexander, running backs; and John Morton, Passing Game Coor./Wide Receivers.
Evan Harney OUT INDEFINITELY: Evan Harney, USD's two-time All-America running back, will miss the 2005 season after suffering head injuries in a freak fall on July 30th. Thankfully he is already on the road to recovery. Go to www.usdtoreros.com for more information.
TORERO OUTLOOK : The Toreros have some big holes to fill with the loss of Harney, QB Todd Mortensen, WR Michael Gasperson, OL Keith Zapalac and LB Jeff Langdon to name a few, but the cupboard wasn't left bare ... the Toreros have two outstanding receivers in seniors Nick Garton and Adam Hannula, and sophomore QB Josh Johnson is back from an injury suffered from 1st day of spring drills ...sophomore Kevin Herron was Harney's backup last year and he'll be pushed by some very talented incoming freshmen ... defensively the Toreros should be very strong with the return of LB Kyson Hawkins, DB's Philip Bretsch & Josh Brisco, and DL Eric Bakhtiari. Kicker Hutch Parker is also back.
MEDIA NOTE : Practices are open to the media. To interview a USD coach or player, please contact the Media Relations office at least one day in advance by calling (619) 260-4745. A USD roster should be available by August 10th.
