The football careers of running backs Kyle Nalls and Alex Trotter will be linked to each other for the next three seasons, seeing that both are finishing their first school year at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Friday was a good day for both.
Nalls had 47 yards rushing and Trotter had 73 yards of total offense and the day’s only touchdown as the Mocs completed their second scrimmage of the spring at Finley Stadium.
“They’re different players. That’s the thing,” UTC coach Russ Huesman said. “Kyle runs in between the tackles; Alex does a whole lot. In an ideal world, we’d redshirt one, but we didn’t have the luxury (last fall) and probably won’t this year. Both looked good; they caught the ball and had some good runs.
“They’re both going to be really good players. I think they’ll continue to progress and do good for us.”
