Ragin' Cajuns Report For Camp; Open Practice On Thursday

LAFAYETTE – Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns head football coach Mark Hudspeth welcomed 105 players on Wednesday as his team reported for fall camp in preparation for the 2015 season opener on Sept. 5 against Kentucky.

Hudspeth, who is 36-16 in four seasons as head coach for the Ragin' Cajuns, welcomed the return of 50 letterwinners from a team that posted its fourth straight 9-4 record, including a victory in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

The Ragin' Cajuns moved into their rooms during the morning before receiving equipment and checking in with coaches in the afternoon.

Hudspeth, offensive coordinator Jay Johnson, first-year defensive coordinator Melvin Smith and selected members of the team participated in the annual Ragin' Cajuns Media Day during the afternoon at the UL Alumni House before the team held its first official meeting on campus during the evening.
