Eagles report today, practice Tuesday
N.C. Central's football players will report today to begin preparation for the Eagles' second year of competing in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA). The Eagles will check in at 1 p.m., followed by a meeting with new athletic director Ingrid Wicker-McCree, dinner, physicals and a team meeting.
The team's first open practice will be Tuesday at 4 p.m. NCCU returns 44 lettermen (24 on offense, 20 on defense) from a team that went 6-4 in 2007. Second-year NCCU head coach Mose Rison has nine returning starters, and all but two are on the offensive side of the ball. Senior quarterback Stadford Brown, fifth on the Eagles' career passing yards list with 4,288 in just two seasons, leads the offense. Brown threw for 1,711 yards and 14 touchdowns a year ago.
