🔼 Raising The Bar. Following a historic season that ended with the program's first appearance in the College World Series, Troy Baseball achieved a program-record No. 6 national ranking by both Baseball America and the National College Baseball Writers Association in Tuesday's final top 25 polls.

The Trojans' No. 6 ranking is the highest in Troy's Division-I history across all sports.
Additionally, the Trojans came in at No. 8 in both the D1Baseball Top 25 and the USA Today Coaches Poll.

🔼 Hittin’ The Books. The success for the Trojans this past year wasn’t limited to on the field.

Troy Athletics is proud to announce that across its 15 programs, 13 earned a grade-point average above 3.0 for the Spring 2026 semester, with an average of 3.20.

The Trojans saw all eight women's teams maintain a GPA above 3.0, with seven of the eight above 3.5. Meanwhile, five of Troy's seven male programs posted above 3.0, and two (men's golf, men's tennis) posted above 3.5. Men's Golf was awarded the highest male team GPA with a 3.57, while women's volleyball posted the highest GPA in athletics with a 3.76.

Of Troy's 337 student-athletes, 251 were members of the Spring 2026 3.0 Club, representing 74.48 percent. Of those student-athletes, 67 (36.7 percent) had above a 3.65 GPA to earn a spot on the Provost's Honor List, and 57 maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA to join the Chancellor's Honor List.

We are 7️⃣3️⃣ Days Away From Kickoff, Trojan Fans!

Wearing #7️⃣3️⃣ this upcoming season for the Trojans will be a breakout candidate on the offensive line, Memphis native Tyler Bell. 

Bell saw his first collegiate action last year, playing in eight games for Troy and did not allow a sack in his 71 snaps.

The 6-2, 325-pound junior made his first career start in the IS4S Veterans Bowl, playing at left guard for the Trojans.

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.
