Another player who has seen the positive impact of Mark Hocke’s strength and conditioning program is tight end Dante Zanders.
The sixth-year redshirt senior has slimmed down and appears to be much faster through the first three weeks of spring football.
“My speed to be completely honest with you,” Zanders said on his biggest improvement. “Last year I was heavier, so I was like really sluggish when I ran routes and everything, but losing all the weight, slimming down, and conditioning a lot over the break made me a little bit faster which is going to elevate my game.
