Coastal Carolina opened summer training camp on Thursday counting down to the September 1st kickoff against North Carolina A&T and the official start of the Joe Moglia era. Following a two hour workout, Moglia pointed out that no one stood out in the first day, which is to be expected as the team had the first of 29 preseason practices leading up to the opener.
Aramis Hillary will lead the offense for a second straight year with four of the top five running backs returning and a receiving corps that includes Matt Hazel and tight end David Duran, who was granted a sixth year of eligiblity. On the defensive side, Andrae Jacobs returns to lead the linebacking corps. Coastal will need to fill two key spots in the secondary with the departure of Josh Norman (Carolina Panthers) and Marcus Lott (New York Jets).
