TROY TROJANS FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Troy University, established in 1887 and now home to 14,156 students in Alabama, fields a 100-player football roster competing in the Sun Belt Conference at the Football Bowl Subdivision level. Head coach Gerad Parker leads a program that has become a consistent mid-major presence in FBS football, representing a school founded over 135 years ago in the heart of southeastern Alabama. The Trojans play their home contests in front of their fan base in Troy, maintaining the infrastructure necessary for competing in the nation's second tier of college football.
Competing in the Sun Belt Conference places Troy among programs that regularly produce bowl-eligible seasons and compete for conference championships. The 100-player roster reflects the typical depth required for FBS competition, where scholarship allocations and recruiting efforts support sustainable operations across offense, defense, and special teams. Under Parker's direction, the program operates within the structure of the Sun Belt, a conference that has increasingly proven its competitiveness in national rankings and postseason play over the past decade.
