Tulane Football Pads Up for Day 3 of Spring Camp
Mar 15, 2018 | Football
NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane football team held its third practice of spring camp under a sun splashed Thursday morning at Yulman Stadium.
The team rearranged its spring schedule late Wednesday afternoon, moving its practice ahead to Thursday in an effort to avoid the heavy rain that was forecasted to hit the area Friday morning. The team entered Yulman Stadium wearing shoulder pads for the first time this spring, as the squad moved closer toward in-game simulation in full gear.
Tulane head coach Willie Fritz continued to be encouraged by the team's work ethic and attitude through the first three days of spring practice.
"I think it has been good," Fritz said. "I think we have more depth and a lot of good positivity."
The Green Wave return 18 starters from last year's squad, including starting quarterback Jonathan Banks and leading wide receiver Terren Encalade both of whom figure to make a strong impact this season.
"We also have a lot of good guys on this team, who are a lot of fun to be around," Fritz said.
Tulane's spring practice continues on Saturday morning when the team will travel out to the New Orleans Saints indoor facility to take part in its fourth practice of spring camp. The Green Wave will conclude their spring practice on Saturday, April 14 with the annual spring game at Yulman Stadium.
Tulane opens the 2018 season on Thursday, August 30 at home against Wake Forest.

On Roderic Teamer Jr., learning a new position…
