LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) --In less than 30 days, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns will take the field at the newly refurbished Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium.

The Cajuns reported to fall camp on Friday, their final stretch of preparation before the start of the regular season, eager to reestablish their team identity under Head Coach Michael Desormeaux.

"You know, this is one of the most exciting days of the year whenever you get your team back," Desormeaux said. "I think fall camp is incredibly important. I think that's where you find the identity of your football team."

The Cajuns are facing key position battles at quarterback and kicker during fall camp. With the departure of Lou Groza Award winner Kenneth Almendares, the kicker position is highly contested among freshman Brek Schultz, redshirt junior Tony Sterner, and redshirt senior Logan Klotz.

Logan Klotz has spent time learning behind Almendares and is focused on refining his skills and building a bond with the special teams unit.

"Had the opportunity to be behind a lot of great guys last couple of years, and this off-season I've been just honing in on my craft and, you know, working on the chemistry between me and, you know, my holder, and my snapper." Klotz said.

The quarterback position is also crucial, with Daniel Beale and Lunch Winfield taking snaps at the end of the 2024 season. However, Lafayette native and Ole Miss transfer Walker Howard is now in the mix, adding depth to the competition.

Desormeaux emphasized the importance of practice performance in determining the starting positions, noting the talent available across the team.

The Cajuns aim to build on their previous 10-win season as they open against Rice on August 30th, with fall camp setting the stage for their upcoming challenges.
