Arkansas-Pine Bluff will report today and hold its first practice at 3:30 p.m. Monday to kick off Coach Monte Coleman's seventh season.
The Golden Lions are set to practice twice on Aug. 9, 11, 13, 15, 18 and 20 in preparation for their Aug. 30 season-opener at Texas State.
UAPB is trying to bounce back from a 2-9 finish in 2013, Coleman's worst as coach that was marred by eligibility issues with several key players.
Quarterback Ben Anderson, a Little Rock Parkview graduate, will begin his fourth season as starter, having been named preseason Southwestern Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year.
UAPB was picked third in the SWAC West by league coaches behind favorites Southern and Prairie View A&M. Alabama State was picked to win the East.
