Raiders hit the field Monday
MURFREESBORO - The 2017 college football season is only days away and Middle Tennessee Head Coach Rick Stockstill has announced the upcoming fall camp schedule. The Blue Raider football team officially reports to preseason camp Sunday, July 30 and will practice for the first time Monday afternoon.
The Blue Raiders will have 105 reporting to camp on Sunday, including 38 total lettermen and six starters each on offense and defense.
Highlighting the returners on offense is the record-setting duo of quarterback Brent Stockstill and wide receiver Richie James, along with linemen Chandler Brewer and Carlos Johnson, and last year's freshman All-American Ty Lee. Defensively, the Blue Raiders welcome new coordinator Scott Shafer along with veterans DJ Sanders, Darius Harris, Alex Dale, Chris Melton and Jovante Moffatt.
Fans are welcome to attend practices each of the first three days through August 2 for the first three periods. The rest of the Blue Raider fall practices will be closed to the public.
The Blue Raiders open the 2017 campaign at home against Vanderbilt on Sept. 2. Kickoff is slated for 7:00 PM CT.
