San Marcos, Texas – Next Monday will mark a dawn of a new era for the Texas State football team when the Bobcats open their 2016 Fall Camp at 7 a.m. under new head coach Everett Withers. The Bobcats will practice in shorts and helmets during the first two days of camp on Monday and Tuesday morning. They will work out in Bobcat gear on Wednesday and Thursday beginning at 7 a.m. before their first practice in full pads on Friday 9:20.
