TSU Football Completes Day One of Spring Practice

NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- Tennessee State football held its’ first practice of the spring season on Friday. The Tigers wore just helmets with no pads to kick off the third season for TSU head coach Rod Reed.

On Friday, the Big Blue focused on fundamentals and participated in 25 limited contact periods. Per NCAA rules, TSU can only participate in 12 contact days during the spring season. The Tigers compete in full pads on Monday afternoon at 4 p.m.

“The tempo was great for opening the year,” said Coach Reed. “We focused on fundamentals, especially with our young guys. There is a lot of work to be done, but I am excited about the way we performed to start the spring.”



The Tigers practice on Monday and Wednesday at 4 p.m. TSU will take Friday off before participating in a scrimmage on Saturday. The time for the scrimmage will be announced later this week.

On Friday, March 23, Tennessee State will host its’ annual pro day with numerous scouts from the NFL and other professional leagues in attendance.
