DeLAND, Fla. - The Stetson University football team wrapped up fall camp Saturday with a full day of activities, highlighted by a spirited intrasquad scrimmage in front of approximately 500 in attendance at the Athletic Training Center.
The day began at Spec Martin Memorial Stadium with the team's annual photo, the first under new head coach Mike Jasper and his staff. Players and coaches also got their first look at the natural-grass playing surface and stadium facilities, followed by a brief walkthrough of gameday protocols ahead of the season opener next weekend.
Later in the afternoon, the Hatters joined the cheer squad and pep band for a "Meet the Team" event on the ATC practice field. Fans had the opportunity to meet players, take photos, and collect autographs and team posters.
The day concluded with a simulated game, as players were split into green and white squads. The pep band kept energy high throughout, giving the practice field a true game-day feel.
