📈 STOCK UP

🔼  Let The Games Begin. When the whistle blows tomorrow night in Murray, Ky., the 2025-26 Troy athletic calendar will be officially underway as the Trojan soccer squad hits the pitch for their season opener against Murray State.

Troy return three of its top five scorers from a young 2024 squad in sophomore Hailey Phillips (5 pts), sophomore Georgia Mulholland (4 pts) and junior Danielle Trovato (4 pts) along with key defenders in sophomores Grace DeShetler and Brooke Slater and junior Shyanne Scharbrough.

In goal, Troy returns senior Nittany Vega, who finished the 2024 campaign with back-to-back shutouts against Coastal Carolina and Arkansas State, and added Auburn transfer Taylor Richards. Other transfer portal additions for the Trojans include former East Carolina midfielder Elsa Stedman and former Bowling Green forward Alaina Uncapher.

⚽️ The 2025 Troy Soccer Schedule

🔼 Reloading. After a historic 2025 spring season, the Troy baseball program is reloading for even more in 2026.

This week, head coach Skylar Meade announced the signing of 15 transfers to the 2026 Troy baseball roster. The 13 transfer portal additions and two junior college transfers join six freshmen and four junior college transfers that signed last fall and winter. 

Troy's 2025 transfer portal haul ranks 19th nationally according to 64Analytics, including coming in at No. 2 among mid-majors. It is also the highest-ranked class by a Sun Belt program since 64Analytics began its transfer rankings in 2023. 

Just 1️⃣7️⃣ Days To Kickoff, Trojan Fans!

The offensive unit for the 2025 football squad got a new weapon this year in #1️⃣7️⃣ Dariyonne Bryant.

Bryant joins the Trojans after a standout career at Highland CC where he was rated as the top JUCO receiver in the country.

Last fall, he caught 43 passes for 871 yards and six TDs, after a freshman season in which he hauled 19 passes for 284 and five TDs.
