CONWAY, S.C. - Camp is here! The Coastal Carolina University football team took Benton Field inside Brooks Stadium for the first day of preseason fall camp on Friday morning.

Second-year head coach Jamey Chadwell addressed the media prior to the first preseason fall practice session which included the entire team unlike in past seasons.

Unlike previous fall camps as well, the coaches and support staff members wore face masks and shields, while the student-athletes sported a new face guard on their helmets to go along with jerseys and shorts.

The Chanticleers practiced on the "Surf Turf" for just at two hours, working on individual and group skills work, while also incorporating offensive and defensive team periods into the Friday morning practice.
