Illinois Football Announces Spring Practice Dates
The University of Illinois football team has set its 15-day practice schedule for the spring season, kicking off workouts on Tues., March 28 and culminating in the annual Orange and Blue Spring Game on April 22 at 1 p.m.
SPRING NOTES: Four players, quarterback Tim Brasic, defensive end Xavier Fulton, linebacker Sam Porter and defensive tackle Tremayne Walker will miss a portion of spring practices while completing team-issued academic standards. Senior wide receiver Lonnie Hurst has been dismissed from the team due to violation of academic policies.
"The reason our student-athletes are here is to get an education," Illinois head football coach Ron Zook said. "I can't emphasize enough how important it is that each player take care of business in the classroom before they can do it on the field."
