The San Jose State football team, under head coach Ken Niumatalolo, held its annual Spring Game, marking an improvement from the previous year. The primary goal was player health, with no injuries reported during the event. Niumatalolo is optimistic about the teamâs offensive capabilities, particularly with returning quarterback Walker Eget as a starter and emphasis on strengthening the running game and offensive line. The addition of new receivers, including transfer Leland Smith, is expected to enhance the team's offense, sparking enthusiasm for the upcoming season.
Quarterback Walker Eget is the sole returning starter this offseason. Going into 2024's Spring Game, Eget was in a 'neck and neck' competition with Emmett Brown, who transferred to Coastal Carolina this offseason.
For Niumatalolo, the goal for the day was simple: keep players healthy. 'That was the number one goal,' he said.
Offensive coordinator Craig Stutzmann emphasized the importance of ball security and physicality along the offensive line, which could both improve in the offense's second year under Stutzmann.
Stutzmann expressed optimism about the offense's potential, mentioning new transfers like Leland Smith and Danny Scudero, calling them 'shiny new toys' who add speed to the team.
