Eastern Kentucky University’s football team reports to campus Tuesday and will have its first preseason practice on Wednesday.

According to a news release, the Colonels will hold 15 practices and two scrimmages over an 18-day period.  The scrimmages are scheduled for Saturday, August 15 and Saturday, August 22.  All practices and scrimmages are currently scheduled to be held at Roy Kidd Stadium and are open to the public.

Eastern is ranked in the top-25 of several preseason national polls and has been picked to place second in the Ohio Valley Conference this season.  Eight starters return on both sides of the ball from a 2014 team that finished 9-4, beat FBS opponent Miami and qualified for the FCS Playoffs.

Eastern begins the 2015 campaign at home against Valparaiso on Sept. 3 at 7 p.m.
