Cal football: Vic Enwere, Daniel Lasco & more strength & conditioning updates

We have no players at the NFL Combine, so why not check out how the Cal football players are doing in their strength and conditioning before spring practice starts?

Damon Harrington has taken over proceedings in the past year and a half, and based on how some players are performing in practice, it looks like an immediate impact is being made. The offensive players made huge leaps after one year of conditioning with Harrington, and I expect this season we should see some leaps with some of our newest contributors, both on offense and defense. (And an additional leap from our regular players couldn't hurt either!)

Take a look at the speed upgrade.

2015 40 testing in Berkeley aka Speed City saw twice as many 4.4s as 2014 and as many Bears 4.69 or better in 2015 as went below 5.0 in 2014

Running back Daniel Lasco is going as high as possible.

Running back Vic Enwere is making leaps. Enwere is posting a 38 inch vertical, which would have been the sixth highest among all NFL players at the Combine.

315 with ease #testweek #calgang !!!!

Enwere isn't done either. Check out his 315 pound clean and jerk by clicking here.

Not to be outdone by Enwere, cornerback Darius Allensworth posted a 39 inch vertical. Agility rising!

Wide receiver Trevor Davis is getting his plyometrics game on. Who's ready for some more vertical leaping in the end zone for trash can touchdown drills?

Davis sounds like he posted one of the fastest 40 times as well with a 4.4.

Defensive end Kyle Kragen also has made rapid changes. Kragen lost 25 pounds last spring due to mononucleosis and had to redshirt as he rebuilt his physical stature.

Now? He's cleaning and jerking 375 pounds. Oh man. He looks built.

Defensive back Stefan McClure is building up that muscle mass too.
