Referred to by coaches as a “glue guy,” Perez started at Cal last season before injuries sidelined him for the majority of the season.

Going into fall camp the clear favorite at left tackle is Ian Joseph, a redshirt freshman from Placerville, Calif. He has the potential to be the first freshman full-time starter at left tackle since former Aggie All-American Troy Larkin dominated the position from 1996-99.

WIDE RECEIVERS AGGIE SOCIAL Coming into fall camp, the top four receivers were junior Anthony Soto (5-10, 185), junior Stephen Dunstan (6-3, 190), sophomore Tom Hemmingsen (5-10, 175) and redshirt freshman Corey Galindo (6-4, 205). MEDIA OUTLETS Soto is the most accomplished of the group in terms of on-field performance. Last season he was third on the UC Davis has expanded its social media team in receptions and yards, pulling in 29 passes for 344 yards and two touchdowns. As a redshirt fresh- man he managed seven catches for 62 yards. The respectable numbers from last year could increase in 2011, outlets for more ways to follow the Aggies as Soto will likely serve as the primary receiver this season. this season. Check us out on any of these

Dunstan also appeared in all 11 games last season, finishing with eight catches, 127 yards and two touch- platforms. downs. Hemmingsen had a solid freshman campaign in 2010, posting 13 catches in 11 games for 140 yards and two touchdowns. Both players will be asked to carry more of a load in 2011 as part of the receiving core.

Galindo looked sharp in spring and fall practices after redshirting last season. The Aggies are hoping that his 51 catches, 815 yards and 15 touchdowns at Concord High School in 2009 will translate well to the college game.

UC Davis will have additional leadership and experience from senior Dwight Smith (6-3, 200) and junior Brooks Baker (6-2, 197). Smith has battled through injuries his entire career but is considered by coaches to be invaluable to the team as a leader and mentor to young receivers. Coming into this year’s camp healthy, Smith and Baker know the offense as well as any player and the two will look to win a spot on the field as the season progresses. Redshirt freshman Asher Gotzmer (6-1, 180) had a solid spring and redshirt freshman Alex Cannon (6-1, facebook.com/UCDavisAggies 180) is considered by coaches as one of the fastest players the Aggies have had in recent years. Alex McLe- land, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound transfer from Grossmont College will also have a chance to compete for a spot on the rotation.

UC Davis brings in four true freshman, including Dane Turner (6-1, 200), TJ King (6-2, 200), Tim Benton (6-1, 190) and Andrew Ahr (6-2, 190). King is likely to play as a true freshman and after an impressive fall camp, could earn a spot as one of the top six receivers.

RUNNING BACKS

The depth at running back looks improved from recent seasons, with a mix of resurgent veterans and up-and-coming underclassmen. The top players on the depth chart should see less carries in an attempt to prevent injury and keep all the running backs fresh. twitter.com/UCDavisAggies Senior captain Josh Reese (6-0, 196) has been the starting tail back and will continue to be the go-to-guy for carries this season. Last year he battled through injuries to record 317 rushing yards on 82 carries. Reese was second on the team in all-purpose yards after 163 receiving and 373 on kick returns. For his career Reese has 870 rushing yards, 378 receiving yards and seven combined touchdowns.

Junior Nick Aprile (6-1, 212) will be in a more versatile role this year. Last year he was the team’s leading rusher with 99 carries, 389 rush yards and six touchdowns. This season he will play as a tail back, full back and receiver. Aprile started his career as a defensive back but last season was used as a return specialist and the carrier in the Aggies’ variation of the Wildcat formation.

Redshirt freshman Colton Silveria (5-10, 210) has been the most improved of the running backs and will have a chance to be the starter at tail back. He stayed healthy all through spring drills and has continued to come along during the fall. Silveria attended Central Valley High School, rushing for 678 yards and 12 ucdavisags.blogspot.com touchdowns his senior year, despite being limited to just seven games due to injury.

Junior Marquis Nicolis (5-8, 175) is another player that has been nicked up in recent years. Last season he appeared in six games as a reserve and amassed 53 rushing yards on 11 carries, to go along with six recep- tions for 38 yards. Nicolis has looked impressive in fall camp and should be included in several run packages as a reserve this season.

Redshirt freshman Austin Edmonson (5-8, 180) has continued to climb the depth chart and will also get some carries this season. The coaching staff likes his quickness, his ability with the ball out in space and his instincts as a blocker. Another redshirt freshman that has shown potential is Jonathan Maricic (5-11, 208). All three redshirt freshman could be part of a rotation at running back this season.The Aggies brought in two freshman running backs, Tavior Mowry (5-9, 190) and Courtney Williams (5-9, 195). Both players will youtube.com/UCDavisAthletics likely redshirt this season.

At fullback UC Davis will start true freshman Mark Martindale (6-3, 255). Coaches believe that Martindale will get the most playing time of any true freshman this season. He was also see some time as a tight end. Aprile will also factor into the position but redshirt freshman Dalton Turay (5-10, 208) will be listed as the backup at fullback. Sophomore Giovanni Javier (6-4, 240) has been sidelined by injuries but will look to be a contributor this season.

BLUE-GOLD GAME Aug. 25, 2011 - Davis, Calif. (Aggie Stadium)

DAVIS, Calif. - Sophomore quarterback Randy Wright threw for 214 yards and two touchdowns, Dwight Smith and Corey Galindo each caught a pair of scores and defensive end Bobby Erskine helped lead the defense with 1.5 sacks, as the UC Davis football team hosted its annual Blue-Gold scrimmage on Thursday night at Aggie Stadium.

Sean Kelley helped highlight the special teams’ efforts, making two field goals in the first half, including a 49-yarder. Colton Schmidt also posted four punts for a total of 185 yards in the first half alone. The inter-squad scrimmage is the traditional end of the Aggies’ preseason camp, as UC Davis now turns its attention to its season opener next week at Arizona State.

“We were a little disjointed at times but overall I think we did a lot of good things,” said Biggs. “ I like that we came out unscathed as far as injuries go. I thought the defense came out very strong. Early on the offense wasn’t great but Randy came on strong and made some great throws.”

Marquis Nicolis led the charge for an improved run game, rushing for 37 yards on six carries. Josh Reese also posted 25 yards on six carries, while Tavior Mowry showed promise with 29 yards and a touchdown after nine carries.

Anthony Soto led all receives with 64 yards and Galindo was the favorite target on the night, hauling in three catches for 37 yards. Smith also posted a 43-yard reception in addition to his 10-yard touchdown.

Tommy Grillo and Byron Gruendl each had solo sacks for the first-team defense, while Jacob Maxson led the squad with 2.5 tackles. The second-team defense put together an impressive show, led by Phillip Thrappas and Ian Rhodes, who had 4.5 and 4.0 tackles, respectively.

“Bobby Erskine in particular was putting a lot of pressure on the offense,” continued Biggs. “Once we got in a rhythm and started to move the ball, the first-team offense played well. Corey Galindo showed he’s going to be a really good player for us and he made some tough catches. We have some things that we need to clean up but we saw a lot of good things tonight.”

UC Davis also hosted “Meet the Aggies” night as part of the annual scrimmage. Fans in attendance had access to pressbox tours, locker room visits and on-field activities. The night was capped off by interaction with the players following the end of the game.

“I was really happy with the turnout from the community,” said Biggs. “It looks like people were having fun and hopefully this is a tradition that we can continue to have for the Blue-Gold game.”
