⚔️ And much, much more!

78 days til kickoff, Trojan Fans!

In 1978, there was no larger than life figure for the Trojan football program than defensive lineman Willie McCray Jr.

After starting his career at Alabama, McCray arrived at Troy and dominated the opponent, earning him an 11th round selection by the San Francisco 49ers in 1978.

Countdown to Kickoff is brought to you by Conecuh Sausage. Conecuh Sausage is made in Alabama, it’s great on the grill and a fan favorite for tailgating. Conecuh Sausage, the Official Sausage of Troy Athletics.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Our Guy. After a historic 2024-25 season, the future is bright for the Troy men’s basketball program.

That future is secure as head coach Scott Cross recently signed an extension to stay with the Trojans.

🔼 Slammin’ Shane. Earlier this week it was Noah Edders with a dynamite showing in the MLB Draft League.

Now, it’s Shane Lewis’ turn.

Lewis had a huge night for the State College Spikes on Wednesday, blasting a HR while going 3-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs scored.

⚔️ ON THE ROAD AGAIN

The final round of the 2025 Trojan Tour presented by Guardian Credit Union is underway with two more stops in Montgomery and Birmingham on the weekend slate.
