🔼 Signature Status. Troy football’s Class of 2025 is shaping together following National Signing Day. The Trojans addressed needs along the offensive line and the defensive backfield, where Parker and staff signed three linemen and three safeties. Troy also signed a pair of defensive linemen, two running backs, two receivers and a pair of bandits. In total, the Trojans added 13 high school players and two from the junior college ranks; five will enroll early in January.

🔼 Made A Statement. For the 56th time in program history, the Troy women's basketball program eclipsed 100 points as it stomped Oakwood in Trojan Arena, 109-47, on Wednesday afternoon. Six Trojans finished in double-figures for scoring in the victory, led by Zay Dyer and Brianna Jackson with 14 apiece on a combined 10-of-21 from the field. Of the 12 Trojans to check in, 11 ended in the scoring column, as nobody played less than 11 minutes in Trojan Arena.

🔼 Got The Nod. Highlighted by Devonte Ross' three individual selections, including a pair of first-team nods, Troy had 10 overall picks on the annual All-Sun Belt Football Team. Running back Damien Taylor and offensive lineman Daniel King were second team selections, while linebacker Brendan Jackson earned a third team nod. Offensive lineman Eli Russ, defensive lineman Luis Medina, linebacker Jordan Stringer and spear Devin Lafayette were honorable mention picks.

🔼 On Your Marks. The Trojans will open its indoor track & field season today as the Trojans are set to compete in the Birmingham Ice Breaker. This year will be the fourth consecutive season that Troy will participate in the event as they return after grabbing 13 top-ten finishes in six different events last year. The Trojans will have 17 athletes competing in 10 different events, including the women's 60m, 200m, 400m and 800m, 60m hurdles, 4x400 relay, high jump, long jump, triple jump and weight throw.
