KENNESAW STATE OWLS FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Kennesaw State's football program joined the FBS ranks in 2024 as one of Conference USA's newest members, representing a significant institutional shift for a university established in 1963 that enrolled 51,375 students by the time it launched its D1-FBS initiative. Head coach Jerry Mack commands a 100-player roster tasked with competing in a five-conference that includes established programs like Florida Atlantic, UTEP, and Rice. The Owls' move from lower divisions marks an ambitious step for an institution located in the rapidly growing Atlanta metropolitan area, where they compete for regional attention alongside SEC powerhouses and other established programs.
Playing from their home venue in Kennesaw, Georgia, the Owls are building their FBS infrastructure during a pivotal transition year that will determine their competitiveness within Conference USA's competitive landscape. With a full roster of 100 athletes, Mack's program benefits from the resources of a large public university while navigating the financial and logistical demands of FBS football. The program's inaugural FBS season represents Kennesaw State's most ambitious athletic undertaking to date, positioning the Owls to develop into a regional competitor as they establish recruiting pipelines and develop on-field chemistry at college football's highest level.
