XENIA, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University football team wrapped up day three of training camp at the Athletes in Action Complex & Retreat Center in Xenia, Ohio Friday, Aug. 4. The intensity ramped up slightly as it was EMU's first opportunity to don shoulder pads.

The Eagles enter year two under the tutelage of Defensive Coordinator Neal Neathery, and will look to continue the momentum they established in year one. The Eagles return eight starters to Neathery's 4-2-5 scheme, as well as returning 86 percent of its tackles, the fourth most in the country.
