CHARLESTON, S.C. - Charleston Southern football returns to the field for 15 days of spring practice during the months of March and April as announced by Head Coach Autry Denson on Wednesday morning.

CSU will open its spring practice schedule at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, March 18, on its way to building toward the Second Annual White, Blue, and Old School game set for Saturday, April 18, at 1 p.m.

More details about the White, Blue, and Old School game will be released in the coming weeks.

The Bucs have been ready to get back on the field since the end of the 2019 season as CSU went 6-6 in Denson's inaugural year. CSU won five of its final six games on their way to posting a 4-2 record in Big South play and heading into the offseason on a high note.

The offseason highs continued to come for the Bucs as CSU hauled in the No. 13-ranked recruiting class in FCS as noted by HERO Sports earlier this week. Additionally, six signees were recognized among the top-300 recruits signed by FCS programs, including two players mentioned among the top-100 recruits signed by an FCS team.

The focus is back to field as the Bucs continue their preparations to hit the field running when practice starts before the sun rises on March 18.

"We do everything fast and we want to train fast," Denson said. "We're focused on making sure that every repetition, every practice counts. Last year was our first year with the guys and we spent time learning what we have and figuring out what the strengths were with our guys."

He continued, "This year, we are going to keep working on things to keep getting better. The goal is that when we take the field in September, we're ready to go. I know the coaches, players, and myself are excited to get back out there under the lights. It's time to get back to football and when we hit that field, we'll be moving."

All practices are open to the media and the general public. Practices are scheduled to start at 6 a.m. unless otherwise noted.
