NORMAL, Ill. – After a long summer of lifting weights and conditioning nearly every day, the Illinois State football team got back together for the first time since the spring on Thursday when the Redbirds returned to the turf at Hancock Stadium to kick off Fall Camp '23.
For the first time in this fall, over 100 student-athletes, coaches and staff took the field together to begin their preparations for the upcoming 2023 campaign. ISU head coach Brock Spack, who is beginning his 15th season at the helm of the Redbird Football program, set the tone early and the team went to work in helmets only as part of the NCAA's mandated acclimation period.
