SOUTH CAROLINA STATE BULLDOGS FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
South Carolina State University, established in 1896 in Orangeburg, operates its 99-player football program within the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference at the FCS level. Coach Chennis Berry directs a roster competing in one of the NCAA's most competitive subdivision conferences. With an enrollment of 2,649 students, the university supports its athletic programs within the context of a historically Black institution that has served the Lowcountry for over a century.
Berry's Bulldogs compete during the fall season from a home venue in Orangeburg, where they face conference opponents throughout their schedule. The 99-player roster reflects the typical depth required for FCS competition, where teams must balance scholarship limitations with scholarship maximization across multiple positions. South Carolina State's participation in the MEAC places them alongside regional rivals in a conference focused on developing competitive Division I-FCS football at HBCUs.
