DAVIS, Calif. -- The UC Davis football team holds its spring practice season from Wednesday, February 12 through Friday, March 6, roughly in sync with the university's winter quarter. Head coach Dan Hawkins opts to hold his 15 spring workouts earlier than the traditional March-April span to allow student-athletes to pursue internships and/or study abroad during the spring academic quarter.
UC Davis will have full-pads Friday scrimmages on February 21 and 28 during this span, both beginning at 6 p.m. All midweek practices will run from 9-11 a.m. All workouts will take place at UC Davis Health Stadium.
The Aggies return seven of their nine All-Big Sky Conference honorees, including HERO Sports Freshman All-American and Big Sky Freshman of the Year Nick Eaton, Sophomore All-American Devon King and third-team STATS FCS All-American Ulonzo Gilliam, Jr.Â
The 2020 season begins on August 29 at Nevada. Deposits for season tickets can be made now at tickets.ucdavis.edu. Media members looking to visit spring practice should first contact Mark Honbo at mwhonbo@ucdavis.edu.
