TROY, Ala. – Troy's second annual Football Lunch with Legends is slated for Saturday, April 15, before the Trojans' annual T-Day Spring Game. Wednesday, Troy Athletics announced the star-studded panel featuring a Super Bowl Champion, National Champions, Sun Belt Champions, Troy record holders and a Troy Hall of Fame inductee.

This year's speakers for Lunch with Legends are – Levi Brown, Ted Clem, Ted Horstead, Boris Lee and Steve McLendon.Â
Â
"We're excited to welcome these five Troy legends back to campus for an exciting day of Troy Football," Director of Athletics Brent Jones said. "Last year's inaugural event in front of a sold-out room was an amazing experience. Sitting back and listening to the all-time greats of Troy Football share stories last year was a surreal experience for everyone who attended the event.  This year's panel once again represents the best that Troy Football has to offer and will be another can't-miss afternoon."
Â
Tickets for the event are just $25 and include lunch, drinks and admission to the guest panel. Last year's event sold out, so fans are encouraged to purchase tickets by visiting TroyTrojans.com/LunchWithLegends. The event begins at 11 a.m. and takes place in the Stadium Club at The Vet.
