NMSU starts spring football practice

The New Mexico State Univerity football team had its first spring practice Monday morning at Aggie Memorial Stadium.

The Aggies, who were 2-10 in 2014, are scheduled for 15 full practices, including a scrimmage on April 18 and the Spring Game on Saturday, April 25.

Coach Doug Martin and his staff have already set up objectives for this spring and have already been hard at work to prepare the team for the upcoming season.

“As a staff we will be evaluating the guys who played a lot of downs for us last season, while also keeping an eye on the three junior college kids we brought in. We want to see them develop and we want to get a good look at them, as well as some freshmen that took a red-shirt, such as [linebacker] Will Clement and [defensive back] Malik Demby,” Martin said in a statement. “Each position is wide open. Every member of the team knows they have to work for and earn the position they want to play in.”
