FIU’s spring football practices — its first under new coach Butch Davis — end Tuesday.
And when the team gathers for fall practices, the Panthers’ projected offensive starters will include four seniors, four juniors, two sophomores and one redshirt freshman. On defense, they project five seniors, four juniors and two sophomores.
Junior running back Napoleon Kaufman, who missed the past two years after a knee injury, took his first hits since 2014 this spring. He adds depth to a backfield that is set at the top with senior Alex Gardner and junior Anthony Jones.
