The parallels between Adon Shuler's circumstances last spring and Luke Talich's situation this spring are interesting to me. So I asked Talich if there's anything he can learn from how Shuler earned a starting role despite a transfer being brought in at the position.
“That was a great example,” Talich said. “Adon last year, he kinda knew it was his time. He took full advantage and didn’t let anyone come in and mess with it at all. That kinda speaks volumes about who he is as a person. He’s ultra-competitive.
“Of course, I’m gonna learn from that and ask him what he did, things like that. That’s kinda the mentality I’m bringing in this spring. I’m just gonna get better, get what I deserve. I know what I’m worth. I’m approaching it in that way.”
