Spring Football Set For Monday Start
Annual spring football drills get underway Monday (March 12), as coach Dan Hawkins and his staff will have 75 players out in force to start initial preparations for the 2007 season.
Click below for a information (PDF) on the practice schedule and some early team information; more will be added in the coming days.
The attached PDF document includes the spring roster, suitable for printing to bring to practice, the returning letterman picture, and some quick facts.
Only two players will not participate as of now in spring drills, TB Thomas Perez (who is sitting out to tend to academics) and LB Justin Nonu (back injury). There are a few others who are recovering from surgeries that will participate on a limited basis.
