The 2022 football season officially ends Sunday with the playing of Super LVII. One day later, the Georgia State Panthers will be back on the field for the start of 2023 spring practice. Monday morning's workout is the first of 15 spring practices over t he next four weeks. Spring practice will culminate with the annual Spring Game, scheduled for Thursday, March 9 at 6:30 p.m. at Center Parc Stadium. Admission and parking are free, and fans can register for free tickets here.Head coach Shawn Ellio tt, entering his seventh season, explained the decision to move up spring practice to the earliest start date in program history. "We talked about what we needed to do to become a bigger, stronger, faster football team, and our new strength and condition ing coach, Mike Sirignano, thought it would be really beneficial to move spring practice up," Elliott said. "That will give us give us a few extra weeks on the back end to continuously train." When asked what would be the focus this spring, Elliott didn' t mention schemes or personnel. "Fighting through adversity, knowing how to put away opponents, and learning to strain to finish," he immediately answered. "This is going to be a physical spring practice, it's going to be competitive spring practice, it' s going to be a tough spring practice." The Panthers return six starters on offense, including quarterback Darren Grainger, and six on defense. Other top returnees include running back Marcus Carroll, receiver Robert Lewis, tackle Travis Glover, defensiv e ends Javon Denis and Jeffery Clark, and linebackers Blake Carroll, Jordan Veneziale and Jontrey Hunter. - Georgia State Football
