TROY, Ala. – Troy announced Friday the addition of Nicholls State to its 2025 non-conference football schedule. The Trojans and Colonels are scheduled to open the 2025 campaign on Aug. 30 at The Vet.
Troy and Nicholls State have a long history dating back to 1973 and continuing through Troy's years as a member of the Southland Conference. The Trojans have enjoyed the upper hand with a 20-6-1 advantage in the series including four straight victories before the series halted in 2001.
Nicholls State enters the 2020 season ranked 14th nationally in the FCS Preseason Poll after coming off its third straight FCS Playoff appearance.
Troy's home slate in 2025 also features a matchup with Memphis while the lone road game on the docket is a trip to Clemson.
Season tickets for the 2020 season are on sale now and fans who purchase or renew their tickets during the month of 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.
