STATESBORO - The Georgia Southern football team will officially begin preparation for the 2020 season today as members of the squad report to camp this afternoon. Beginning with the mid-year enrollees and freshmen at 1:45 p.m., the squad will check-in in waves at the Ted Smith Family Football Center to start the process.

Temperatures will be taken. Masks will be donned. Fists will be bumped. Headshots and green screen shots will be shot. Distances will be kept.

After all 130 players check in, there will be a compliance meeting and a training room meeting - both via Zoom - and then several other meetings and dinner will be held before the mandatory workouts that began in July are officially wrapped up this evening. After a snack, the players will be adjourned for the evening to get a good night's rest before Day 1 begins early Friday morning.

Out of an abundance of caution, and following the advice of medical professionals, preseason practices will be closed to the general public. The Georgia Southern Athletics Department will re-evaluate attendance policies at a later date.

Additionally, the in-person fan fest has also been canceled.

Be sure to follow Georgia Southern football on Twitter and online for all of the latest updates.

Georgia Southern will hold its preseason camp from Aug. 7-Aug. 16 before beginning on-campus classes on Monday, Aug. 17 and going to a different preseason practice schedule. The Sun Belt announced that its members are scheduled to play eight conference games and are allowed to schedule up to four non-conference contests. Currently, the Eagles still have non-conference contests against Campbell (Sept. 12) and FAU (Sept. 19) while looking to fill holes made by the cancellation of the Boise State and Ole Miss games by their respective conferences.
