Brown Football Opens Camp With Many Holes To Fill
Thursday, August 21, 2014
The Brown University football team reported to camp today one month before their scheduled season-opener at Georgetown on September 20th. The Bears were picked to finish 6th in the Ivy League this season in large part due to the amount of experience they lost to graduation last spring. That should make this summer's camp a very interesting one with many positions up for grabs. Among those will be the quarterback position where senior Marcus Fuller will battle junior Seth Rosenbauer and sophomore Kyle Moreno.
109 players reported to camp today at Brown. Here is the official release from the scholl's sthletics website brownbears.com:
