ODU football holds first Spring practice under Ricky Rahne

NORFOLK (WAVY) – For the first time in two years, the Old Dominion University football program is enjoying Spring practice.

The Monarchs held their first of 15 practices Monday on the practice fields right behind the L.R. Hill Sportsplex. It was ODU’s first Spring practice under new head coach Ricky Rahne, who was hired as Bobby Wilder’s successor back in December of 2019.

“Everything about this (the timeline) has been odd,” said Rahne after practice .” I’m pretty used to things being seeming a little different than what I was expecting.”

The last time ODU played a season was 2019.
