Spring football practice starts March 1 for Hogs

Arkansas will start spring practice under new coach Chad Morris on March 1 and will practice at least once after the April 7 Red-White game.

The Razorbacks released practice dates Monday via its football recruiting website. The spring football calendar featured 14 practice dates, leaving one open practice open to reach the allowable 15 workouts during the period.

The Twitter post with the spring schedule featured a line saying that all practices will be open to high school coaches and prospects and extending an invitation to them.

The scheduled practice days are March 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 prior to the UA’s spring break, then on March 26, 28, 29 and April 3 and 5 prior to the Red-White game on April 7 at 1 p.m. at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.

The final practice day is scheduled for April 9, two days after the Red-White game, which is not ordinary, but nobody said you have to hold a spring game on the final day of practice.
