Hunter Roddy’s workouts haven’t changed much as he prepares for West Point’s R-Day and his freshman season of Army football.
Roddy is still lifting and running sprints up to five times a week. There are a few exceptions to his training.
The Chaparral (Calif.) fullback started jogging more and playing more pickup basketball with friends.
“Basketball gets my cardio up,” Roddy said.
Roddy and Army’s freshman class report for R-Day on June 27.
“It feels great going in directly and I can’t wait for what’s ahead,” Roddy said. “I’m looking forward to the challenges I’m going to face. I love being challenged and I’m obviously looking forward to playing football. The freshman class is definitely excited to be playing football for a program like West Point.”
Servite (Calif.) defensive back Zion Sims has increased his running in preparation for this summer, that will start with freshman boot camp later this month.
“I’ve been running long distance around my neighborhood,” Sims said. “I don’t train long-distance running and I’ve been doing a lot more of it.”
Kickers tend to keep the same routine. Charlie Barnett of Westlake (Texas) said he’s taking “no days off in the weight room or kicking,” which includes early mornings. He’s also running “when I can.”
