He talks about the frustration of not being able to compete in camp, what he has seen from the young receivers, and if he is considering taking his redshirt this fall.

Q: Do you know how long you will be out at this point?
SANDEMAN: It felt pretty good today. I am really just trying to listen to the doctors right now. It really isn't anything major. I have really never done anything to my hamstring before. I thought I was just cramping up. The doctor said it was no big deal and I am trying to get back as fast as I can.
Q: Since you haven't been out there much, you have been watching. What do you think of some of the young guys like Keenan Davis and Jordan Cotton?
SANDEMAN: Keenan has really progressed. I am actually rooming with Jordan and he has a lot of questions, which is good for freshman. Keenan and some of the younger guys have really impressed me. I think the more that they can grow and learn from Coach O'Keefe and Coach Campbell and the older wide receivers, the better off our team and receivers will be.
Q: Your injury is your hamstring?
SANDEMAN: Yeah, I tweaked it a little bit.
Q: It has to be frustrating for you sitting out because you knew it would be a competitive camp and you were in a position to move up.
SANDEMAN: Yeah, anytime you get hurt it sucks, especially right now. I am just trying to pay attention in meetings and listen to Coach Campbell. I am really studying more so I can come back better prepared.
Q: If this lingers a bit, will you think about using your redshirt this season?
SANDEMAN: I am really not thinking about that at all. I didn't tear my whole hamstring off like Brodell did.
Q: Can you talk about the young quarterbacks and how they have grown.
SANDEMAN: Yeah, they have really grown in the last year. I remember when they came in, they were wide-eyed freshmen that really couldn't catch the offense. You could see today that they really have a nice grip on the offense and they have a great person to look up to in Rick (Stanzi). I think they have really improved and stepped up in camp.
