NORMAL, Ill. – The Illinois State football coaching staff gave its players a week off over the University's spring break to recharge a bit from a busy start to the spring semester, however that break ended abruptly on Tuesday when the Redbirds returned to the turf at Hancock Stadium to resume Spring Camp '23.
For the first time in the spring, the Redbirds put on shoulder pads and had their first contact this spring on a cold and windy morning in the Twin Cities. The 'Birds shook off some early rust and came back to have a spirited workout to begin a stretch of practices and scrimmages that will lead up to the annual Spring Showcase scrimmage on April 15.
