Rutgers Football Training Camp Schedule: What To Know

The Rutgers football team opens training camp today, with practice taking place this morning. While the program is scheduled to practice 29 times over the next 19 days per Keith Sargeant, media availability is limited to six sessions. However, there will certainly be plenty of videos shared via the Rutgers Football twitter account. Here is a video released last night regarding check in day for the players on the eve of their first practice of training camp.
