🔼 Position Previews. With just a little over a week until the Troy Football season begins, it’s time to get familiar with the big men on both sides of the ball. Check out the position previews for both the offensive and defensive line ahead of the Trojans’ matchup against Nevada next Saturday.

🎙️ Listen to the 2024 Opponent Preview: Louisiana

🔼 Set the Schedule. Troy tennis will return to the court later this fall, and now, both the men’s and women’s teams have tournament dates set for the 2024-25 season.

🎾 Men’s tennis will begin the season at the ITA All-American on September 21 and will compete in a total of four fall events before the bulk of the schedule begins in the new year.

🎾 Women’s tennis will kick off the season on October 4 at the Samford Fall Invitational. The team will also compete in four fall events before returning to match play in February.

🔼 Eyes of a Nation. Troy baseball is set to be represented on the international stage this fall, with senior Blake Cavill being named to Team Australia's roster for the 2024 U-23 World Cup in Shaoxing City, China. The Sydney, New South Wales native is no stranger to competing internationally, having represented Australia in the 2015 Little League World Series, the 2016 U-15 World Cup and the 2019 U-18 World Cup. 

🗣️ "It will be an incredible experience to be able to represent my country and Troy baseball. I am truly blessed and honored to do that." - Blake Cavill

🔼 Put Up A Fight. Troy soccer fell to Mercer 3-0 on Thursday night at Betts Stadium. It was the first loss of the season for the Trojans, who opened their 2024 campaign last week with a 2-1 over Eastern Washington at home. Midfielder Leah Crotty earned the start and made her Trojan debut after transferring from Illinois State, playing all 90 minutes while redshirt freshman Isabella Tomeo made her collegiate debut, starting the second half in goal and making three saves.

8 days until kickoff, Troy Football fans!

This season, the No. 8 will be shared by defensive specialist Eric Shaw and wide receiver Zeriah Beason. Each Trojan is entering their junior season, having been part of the back-to-back conference titles.
