Since Chris Ash took over Rutgers football as head coach last December, a major focus has been to instill competition into every aspect of the program. Adding strength and conditioning coach Kenny Parker was key to ramping up the intensity level during offseason workouts. One new element added into practice during the spring was the “Ring of Honor” drill, which pits two players head to head in a battle of brute strength. Yesterday, Ash posted video of the drill’s debut during training camp.
The “ring of honor” drill is different than the famous “Oklahoma Drill”, which simulates a one on one situation between a defensive lineman trying to fight through a block and tackle the incoming running back.
