Fall Camp Report 1: It All Starts Here

NORMAL, Ill. – After a long summer of work in the weight room and conditioning on the field, the Illinois State football team gathered together Friday morning at Hancock Stadium for its first workout of the fall in preparation for the season opener at NIU on August 31.

Practice Highlights:

  • The team could not have been met with better weather for the first day of fall training camp, as the offensive and defensive units took the field in helmets only during the NCAA mandated acclimation period.
  • Practice began with a quick install period for the offense and defense on opposite ends of the field, before a team stretch led to a special teams circuit.
