GEORGIA STATE PANTHERS FOOTBALL

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Georgia State University, founded in 1913 and enrolling 53,144 students in Atlanta, fields a 100-player football roster competing in the Sun Belt Conference at the Football Bowl Subdivision level. Head coach Dell McGee leads the Panthers program from its home venue, where the team competes during the fall season as one of the conference's members. Atlanta's position as a major metropolitan area provides Georgia State with significant recruiting advantages and exposure within one of the nation's most talent-rich regions for college football.

As a Sun Belt Conference program, Georgia State competes against schools including Texas State, Marshall, Old Dominion, and James Madison in a conference that has increasingly strengthened its FBS credentials. The Panthers' 100-player roster reflects the full-scale operations expected of a FBS program, with depth charts spanning offense, defense, and special teams across fall competition. Dell McGee's tenure as head coach shapes the program's development within a competitive mid-major landscape where Sun Belt teams have garnered bowl eligibility and postseason opportunities in recent years.
