TROY – Troy veterans knew what to expect when they reported for camp on Thursday, but linebacker Carlton Martial remembers his first camp check-in.
“I didn’t think we’d be up here that long,” the freshman All-American said Thursday as he looked back.
“Fall camp started today,” left tackle Austin Stidham said Thursday afternoon. “We have meetings the rest of the day and we go hard at it tomorrow. Practice starts tomorrow.”
Head coach Chip Lindsey, who opened his first camp as a head coach, didn’t try to hide his excitement.
“It’s almost like Christmas. A new season, everybody’s excited to get going,” Lindsey said before stepping into his first team meeting Thursday afternoon.
