Penn State may have only wrapped up its season just over six weeks ago, but already James Franklin and his staff are gearing up for spring practice. With spring break set for March 5-11 this year, Penn State’s players will return from break and get right into practice, which is set to begin Tuesday, March 14.

“The way the calendar fell this year, we usually will try to come back from spring break and have one or two [winter workout] sessions to get the sinning out of them and then get into spring ball,” Franklin said during his Feb. 7 press conference at Penn State’s Beaver Stadium. “But the way the calendar falls this year and when the spring game is, we’re not really able to do that, so we’ll come back from spring break and get going right away.

“Sometimes people break up spring ball into a few days before spring break and finish it afterwards. We have always tried to do it after spring break but still give us enough time to get out on the road recruiting.”

Including the Blue-White Game, which is set for Saturday, April 15, Penn State will conduct 15 practices total. The first three weeks will see them practice every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. They’ll then practice just twice the first full week of April before resuming with three true practices leading up to the Blue-White Game, April 9-15.
