The Emporia State football team held its first practice Tuesday.
Coach Garin Higgins says they may have a veteran squad but there are expectations that are the same for all players.
Senior S-Back Dalton Cowan who missed half of last season due to injury said that allowed other players to gain valuable playing time.
Sophomore Tommy Zimmerman is one of the players that saw extended playing time.
Junior Case Cochran says last season has been a motivator.
The Hornets have 23 days to get ready for the season opener to be played on September 1st against Northeastern State.
