DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University football team is a week into fall camp and just completed its ninth practice Wednesday morning.
This week's practice report spotlights the Bulldog defense. Drake returns four starters but welcome back plenty of players that saw significant playing time last year.
In the front seven, the Bulldogs bring back linebackers Taylor Coleman and Michael Roane and defensive end Mack Marrin. Roane and Coleman have stepped up as leaders for not only the linebackers squad but also for the whole unit. Coleman battled injury last year after leading the team in tackles in 2014 with 95.
