As fall camp continues, the Tulane Green Wave is seeing impressive developments from both its running backs and defensive backs. Despite sophomore rusher Jamauri McClure potentially missing the season opener against Duke due to a foot injury, the running backs group remains a key strength, bolstered by several Power 4 transfers. On defense, safety Jack Tchienchou and a promising group of cornerbacks are making a significant impact. The team enters its first season under head coach Will Hall with expectations that may be higher than initially anticipated. Tulane will begin its season against the Duke Blue Devils on September 5.
