Football Adds Game with Stephen F. Austin

TROY, Ala. – Troy wrapped up its 2023 non-conference football schedule with the addition of Stephen F. Austin to open the season on Sept. 2, both schools announced Friday.

The Trojans and Lumberjacks have a brief history having split the previous six meetings with all of the games coming when Troy was a member of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Troy defeated SFA in the opening round of the 1993 FCS Playoffs before the schools spent five years at Southland Conference rivals from 1996-2000.

The visit from SFA will be Troy's first game against an active Southland Conference school since Abilene Christian came to The Vet in 2014.

Troy's 2023 schedule also features a home game against former Sun Belt rival Western Kentucky in addition to road trips to Army and Kansas State.

Season tickets for the 2020 season are on sale now and fans who purchase or renew their tickets during the months of June and July will be eligible for Troy's "Summer of Prizes" giveaways.

Season ticket packages start as low as $60 for general admission seating and $100 for reserved seats for Troy's six home games at The Vet. Tickets can be purchased or renewed by calling 877-878-WINS (9467) or by visiting TroyTrojans.com/tickets.

Troy returns a pair of All-Americans on defense in junior linebacker Carlton Martial and sophomore safety Dell Pettus. In addition, Martial was named to the Walter Camp Preseason All-America First Team heading into the 2020 campaign.

The offense returns a slew of playmakers from a unit that featured a top-25 scoring offense (33.8 points per game) and top-18 overall offense (456.3 yards per game). Troy returns 2019 Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year Kaylon Geiger and 2019 Sun Belt Offensive Preseason Player of the Year B.J. Smith at receiver and running back, respectively.
