Dads day

On the sideline Sunday watching the Demons practice were two proud pops - Butch Stoker and Billy Laird.

Butch's son is NSU head coach Scott Stoker. Defensive coordinator Brad Laird is Billy's boy. Brad's boy, 2-year-old Brock, was waddling around with his granddad. Scott's daughter, 7-year-old Zoe, came by to say hello to her "pap-pa."

Early 2023 recruiting update -- Brock Laird was working on his passing. Daddy is the Demons' career leader, unseating Stoker, who toppled Bobby Hebert from his perch atop the school career yardage list.

After the practice ended, the Demons' newcomers and backups went through a 25-play situational scrimmage. Tulane transfer Lamont Simmons was eye-catching at linebacker, and sophomore tailback Jeremy Jefferson and true freshman Josh Johnson made some sharp cuts for mid-range gains.
