LAS VEGAS - UNLV football will hold its first spring practice of the year on Monday, March 15 to begin a 15-session schedule that culminates with the Spring Scrimmage presented by Findlay Toyota at Sam Boyd Stadium on April 17.

The Rebels pull on the pads under head coach Bobby Hauck for the first time and will hold practice on campus at Ernie Becker Sr. Football Fields at Bill "Wildcat" Morris Rebel Park.

UNLV is scheduled to work out three to four times a week except for taking one week off for spring break from March 29-April 2. Two earlier scrimmages are scheduled for Friday, March 26 and Friday, April 9.

All practices are open to the public but viewing areas are restricted and please note that times are subject to change.
