NORFOLK (WAVY) — Old Dominion coach Bobby Wilder, fresh off signing a five-year contract extension, was all fired up as the Monarchs opened up spring practice on Saturday.
ODU, which won 10 games last season, returns 57 players with playing experience including 14 seniors. The Monarchs also redshirted 30 players last season.
“We’re creating depth, which means we are creating competition,” Wilder said. “We haven’t always have a lot of competition here, and now in the spring we’ve got that competition.”
Wilder also announced his four team captains for the season, defensive back Brandon Addison, defensive linemen Oshane Ximines and Bunmi Rotimi along with wide receiver Jonathan Duhart.
