NORMAL, Ill. – With just four practices remaining before the annual Spring Showcase scrimmage caps off 2023 spring camp, the Illinois State football team was greeted by sunny skies and little to no wind for what seems like the first time this spring as the Redbirds went through their full-padded practice Thursday morning at Hancock Stadium.
Practice Highlights:
• Practice began with a team stretch and a special teams circuit, and after the individual position group period and passing under pressure drills the focus shifted to the 7-on-7 session.
• Zack Annexstad was under control during the session, going 6-for-8 with a pair of completions to Daniel Sobkowicz and I'Shawn Stewart each … Tommy Rittenhouse was also accurate, completing 4-of-5 attempts with two connections to Jalen Carr and one to tight end Cam Grandy … Mason Kaplan, Jimmy Makuh and Patrick Brennan also each got a pair of opportunities, with Brennan completing both of his attempts.
