Football Reports for Preseason Training Camp

AKRON, Ohio – The University of Akron football team is fully accounted for as 104 players reported to campus for preseason training camp on Wednesday.

The Zips filled out paperwork and sat through a battery of meetings and orientations ranging from housing and insurance to NCAA compliance and working with the media. In the morning, the team also held its preseason media day. Watch video from the media day press conference.

"I always find this time of year to be maybe the most exciting," second-year Akron head coach Rob Ianello said. "When you start training camp and your players show up – there is a freshness. We can't wait to get on the field and start working with our guys tomorrow."

 UA will hold its first practice of camp on Thursday in a split squad format from 9:30 a.m.-12:50 p.m. at InfoCision Stadium – Summa Field (all practices are closed to the public).

The program opens the regular season in 30 days at Ohio State (Sept. 3). Please follow GoZips.com for daily updates.
