TOWSON, Md. – The clouds cleared up and the sun was shining through as the Towson University football team began the 2025 spring season to gear up for the fall.
 
The Tigers returned to the Lower Fields Complex on Saturday morning as the coaching staff saw the spring group for the first time for practice, including returners and newcomers.
 
The 77-man Towson roster, which includes some signees and walk-ons joining the team for the first time in the spring, went through drills, workouts, 7-on-7 play and full formations for the first of 14 practices, not including the spring game, set for the next few weeks.
 
"We had great energy out of our guys and I am excited about what we accomplished," said Towson head coach Pete Shinnick.  "I just want guys fired up and getting better every day.  Our coaches did a great job and were organized, we did a lot of things really well in a short amount of time."
 
The next spring practice is set for Mar. 4 at 8 a.m.  All future spring practices on the Lower Fields Complex are open to the public.
 
The Tigers had a strong 2024 campaign, earning their first seven-win season since 2019 and winning CAA year since 2018 in the second season under Coach Shinnick.  Towson finished 7-5 overall and 5-3 in the CAA, finishing the year on a three-game winning streak and notching a victory over then top-10 William & Mary.  The Tigers have earned a .500 or better CAA year five of the last six fall seasons.
