NEW ORLEANS – Troy football returns to the Big Easy on Sunday and Monday for the annual Sun Belt Conference Football Media Day celebration. First-year head coach Chip Lindsey will be joined by quarterback Kaleb Barker and safety Melvin Tyus as Troy's representatives in New Orleans.

The event officially kicks off Sunday evening as student-athletes, coaches, media members and athletic administration officials participate in a traditional Fais Do-Do with famous Louisiana seafood and an authentic Zydeco music experience.

Troy's official Media Day schedule at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome kicks off with a visit to Radio Row and "Voice of the Trojans" Barry McKnight at 9:05 a.m. on AM 740 in Montgomery.

Troy was picked to finish second in the Sun Belt Conference East Division and running back B.J. Smith was named the Sun Belt Preseason Offensive Player of the Year. The Trojans return 14 starters on offense and defense from last year's squad which finished 10-3 overall, defeated Nebraska and secured Troy's third bowl victory in as many seasons.
