As a quarterback, David Cornwell is off limits from being hit during Nevada’s spring practices.
Instead of wearing white jerseys like the rest of the offense or blue like the entire defense, Cornwell and the other Wolf Pack quarterbacks don black non-contact jerseys. They’re precious commodities.
But Cornwell, a ballyhooed transfer from Alabama and the first recruit to commit to Nevada after Jay Norvell was hired as the team’s coach in December, wouldn’t mind shedding his black jersey for a white one.
“I’m sick of being tapped on the back and being called for a sack,” Cornwell said with a smile.
