The fifth preseason camp under UNLV head coach
Tony Sanchez opened Friday with 104 players on the roster for the Rebels on the first morning at Rebel Park.
Competing on a beautiful day in the shadow of the soon-to-open, $34 million Fertitta Football Complex, the 98-minute session followed a series of administrative meetings during Thursday's reporting day.
Sanchez met the media after the initial practice and said it was a positive start.
"A good day," said Sanchez. "We were not out there too long – only about 100 minutes. The pacing was good and the guys were in good shape coming in. We are all excited to be out here with a such a good group."
The Rebels will be right back on the field Saturday morning for Day 2. All of UNLV's camp practices are closed to the public.
UNLV opens its season August 31 by hosting Southern Utah at 7 pm. Season tickets, which start as low as $99, are available now and as part of UNLV's Faithful Fan Pricing initiative, fans purchasing season tickets this year may purchase season tickets for the same per-game price in the new Las Vegas Stadium opening in 2020.
