UNLV Opens Early Training Camp Under New Coach Dan Mullen

UNLV football has opened its earliest training camp in school history under new head coach Dan Mullen, advancing the schedule due to a stadium conflict with a high-profile boxing match. The change required the team to accelerate preparations for their home opener against Idaho State, now set for Week 0. Mullen, who led the first practice with high energy and participation, emphasized the importance of building on spring progress and fostering a competitive atmosphere among both returning players and a wave of new transfers. Players and coaches alike expressed confidence in the team's chemistry and leadership, with a clear focus on competing for the Mountain West Conference championship and potentially a College Football Playoff spot. The coaching staff is closely monitoring retention, effort, and competition for starting roles, aiming for no execution slippage as they ramp up for the season. The team’s unity and hunger for success were evident as they began fall camp with optimism and determination.
