After a year away, Old Dominion opens Fall football camp

NORFOLK (WAVY) – The Old Dominion football team was back on the practice field for the first time since April as the Monarchs opened Fall camp.

ODU opted out of the 2020 season because of COVID, so coach Ricky Rahne is still waiting to coach his first game.

Rahne has brought in transfers from other FBS programs, including quarterback D.J. Mack from Norfolk. He comes to ODU after a stint at Central Florida.

Mack is expected to compete with senior Stone Smartt and red shirt freshman Hayden Wolff for the starting quarterback job.

In ODU’s last season in 2019, the Monarchs went 1-11 and head coach Bobby Wilder resigned following the season.
