Caleb Sturgis modified offseason workouts

After missing most of last season with a hairline fracture in his back, kicker Caleb Sturgis said he feels healthy heading into this season. Part of the difference has been changing what he’s done this summer, Muschamp said.


Sturgis didn’t practice kickoffs in the spring, although he did practice field goals and PATs. So far in the fall, he hasn’t done kickoffs at fullspeed.

When asked to elaborate on what other changes have allowed the redshirt junior to remain healthy, Muschamp quipped, ” He’s not doing squats anymore. Mickey (Marotti) wants to have him power clean, and squat and dead lift and we need him to be a good kicker.”
