Shutter, Purcell, Etc.

Stephen Tsai highlights Cayman Shutter's role as the scout team QB.

"Cayman is, by far, the best guy to come over and run the scout team's offense," UH associate head coach Rich Miano said. "He understands formations. He understands being a leader. The voice inflection, the count -- his whole approach is a serious approach."

Tsai also has an injury update on Elliott Purcell.

Purcell said his left ankle is at "90 percent," but he remains fully committed to earning playing time. In practices, he has been part of the rotation.

As the left end, Purcell uses his left foot to push off. He said he requires an ankle brace for support. His daily rehabilitation includes ice packs, heat treatments and electrical-stimulation sessions.

"I'm working hard," he said. "I don't want to use (the injury) as an excuse."
