The Fort Hays State football team wrapped up their spring drills with the annual Spring Game Saturday morning at Lewis Field. The Tigers ran 60 plays in a controlled scrimmage which did not include full tackling.

Returning quarterback Treveon Albert led the offense with a 40 yard touchdown pass to Garrett Holle on the first possession. Albert scrambled for 14 yards to keep their third possession alive. He connected with Tyler Bacon on a 21 yard pass to set up his seven-yard TD run. Albert also had a 17 yard completion to Holle which set up a Drew O’Brien field goal later in the scrimmage.

Freshman John Wilson picked off a Jacob Mezera pass near mid field and returned it for a touchdown to highlight the defense which had several starters from last year out.

The Tigers were without several returning starters on both sides of the ball. Offensive lineman Matt Erbert sat out the entire spring due to semesters. Wide receiver Isaiah Maxi was also out recovering from injury. The offense was also without quarterback Kevin Spain (hand) and running back Kenneth Iheme (leg) due to injuries suffered during practice. Junior offensive lineman Jarred Stindt and transfer running back TJ Thomas both went down with knee injuries during the scrimmage.

Defensive lineman Johnny Hubbard and Noah Debben were also held out due to injury and Daniel Lindsey did not practice this spring.
