MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — With the 2020 recruiting class pretty much finalized, the focus for the Middle Tennessee football team is now on building towards the season opener.
More than six months still separate the Blue Raiders from their trip to Duke on Sept. 5 to start the season, but work the student-athletes are doing now is crucial to building to that point.
Since they've been back on campus for the spring semester, the players have been working at building a solid base before they start mat drills this week. That means plenty of weight training and conditioning, all with a focus on injury prevention and being smart.
