Football’s Hare seeks to improve Quarterback works on mechanics after spring camp’s end Frank Gogola Sports Editor T @FrankGogola
DeKalb | Redshirt junior quarterback Drew Hare would have a grade of “B” in offensive coordinator Bob Cole’s book — unless Cole was using NIU’s plus-minus grading system. Cole, also the q u a r t e r b a c k s Drew Hare coach, said he’d Quarterback give Hare a grade of 80 out of 100 with spring camp now in the books. “I think he’s capable of quite a bit more,” Cole said. “Not that he’s playing bad right now, but I think there’s a lot more in there that we can get out of him. I think he feels the same way.”
Leadership Cole said he’d like to see improvements in Hare taking over as the vocal leader of the team when the players and coaches convene at the start of fall camp in early August. “The leadership thing’s going to be a big deal,” Cole said. “This summer that’s what we hope happens: that he takes control of the team
— it’s his team — and gets everybody together on their own and throws and runs drills with the offense and that kind of deal.” Hare said the plan is already in the works to take on more of a leadership role before fall camp begins. But, he’s not waiting for the summer; he plans to get to work with the receivers in the coming weeks. “We’ll still be working with receivers right when spring camp’s over,” Hare said. “But we’ll really get the whole team working once we get back for the summer.” For the player-run summer practices Hare said he’ll “be getting those guys out there” and organizing route-running drills, 7-on-7s and other team activities. Tommylee Lewis, redshirt senior wide receiver, wasn’t on the field much with Hare last year because of a season-ending injury after two games. Lewis, back on the practice field this spring, said he’s seen increased leadership from Hare since spring camp began. But, he said Hare needs to believe in himself more. “All the receivers got faith in him,” Lewis said. “I think everybody got faith in him. He just needs to continue to trust himself, continue to trust his talents, continue to have fun with the game. Take it seriously, but don’t take it too seriously.”
