IRVING, Texas – As the National Football Foundation announced its annual Hampshire Honor Society, the roster included a record 1,989 student-athletes from all levels of college football – NCAA, NAIA and sprint football. Among those honorees, four Tennessee Tech football players – Brad Clark, Kail Dava, Cole Putnam and Trevor Stephens – were inducted as members of the exclusive group.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Aaron Swafford set it up and Jordyn Potts knocked them down as they helped lead Tennessee Tech to its first shutout since 2013, fourth shutout since 2000 as well as the first shutout in the series against Tennessee State with the 35-0 victory on Saturday in Nissan Stadium. For their efforts, Swafford was named the Big South-Ohio Valley Conference Football Association’s Defensive Player of the Week, while Potts was the league’s Freshman of the Week, as voted on by the combined sports information contacts.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As the clock hit zero at Nissan Stadium, tears of joy erupted on the Tennessee Tech sideline. For everything the Golden Eagles had gone through over the course of the 2023 campaign, that moment was the culmination of it all. The highest of highs, the lowest of lows – Tech had been through it all. On Saturday, head coach Dewayne Alexander told his Golden Eagle charges to just go out there and have fun. That they did – leaving Nissan Stadium with a 35-0 victory over Tennessee State. It is the first shutout in the series, while it is the first shutout win for the Golden Eagles since 2013 – blanking Austin Peay in that contest – and only the fourth for the program since 2000.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As Tennessee Tech heads to Nashville on Saturday to take on Tennessee State, it’s all about pride as the two teams square off. With UT Martin already clinching a share of the Big South-Ohio Valley Conference Football Association championship and Gardner-Webb trying its best to knot it up this weekend at home against Charleston Southern, the Tigers and the Golden Eagles are both on the outside of the Football Championship Subdivision playoff picture. Ah, but pride is the prize. Tech’s second-longest remaining series in the current conference alignment behind UT Martin at 45, Saturday is the 37th meeting between TSU and the Golden Eagles.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Gardner-Webb seized momentum early in the contest Saturday and never let it go as Tennessee Tech closed out the home portion of the schedule with the Runnin’ Bulldogs claiming a 35-0 victory over the Golden Eagles. Tech (3-7, 1-4 Big South-Ohio Valley Conference Football Association) closes out the season next week as it travels to Tennessee State for a 2 p.m. contest at Nissan Stadium.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Saturday marks the final home game of the 2023 football season and it’s going to be a bittersweet day for the Tennessee Tech football team.

Kickoff Saturday is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Roger Ealey and Frank Harrell will have the call on 98.5 KISS FM, while Dylan Vazzano and Metz will narrate the action on ESPN+ (subscription required).
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With three games remaining in Tennessee Tech’s 2023 football season, the Golden Eagles face a challenge, but there’s still plenty to play for. Tech’s final three opponents of the season – UT Martin, Gardner-Webb and Tennessee State – are all in the top tier of the Big South-Ohio Valley Conference Football Association standings, but none of them enter their contests with the Golden Eagles undefeated. This week’s opponent – UT Martin – fell to Gardner-Webb last week in a 38-34 thriller. Gardner-Webb lost 27-25 to Tennessee State at Nissan Stadium. Tennessee State dropped a 20-10 decision to the Skyhawks.
MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. – The Tennessee Tech football team has seen its fair share of new foes this season. Saturday’s game marks the third time in the 2023 campaign that the Golden Eagles will see an opponent for the first time as Tech heads to the Pittsburgh area to take on Robert Morris.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech’s defense had moments to shine in Saturday’s game against Southeast Missouri, but the Golden Eagles were held to just three points in the contest as the Redhawks prevailed 28-3. The Golden Eagles fall to 2-5 overall, 0-2 in the Big South-Ohio Valley Conference Football Association, while the Redhawks improve to 3-4, 3-0 in the league.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With a big win last week at South Carolina State, the Tennessee Tech football team returns home for a Big South-Ohio Valley Conference showdown with defending OVC champ Southeast Missouri on Saturday. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m. from Tucker Stadium. Saturday is also the team’s Gold Rush game with free T-shirts and gold rally towels available while supplies last. Roger Ealey and Frank Harrell will have the call on 98.5 KISS FM, while Dylan Vazzano and Metz will handle broadcast duties on ESPN+ (subscription required).
ORANGEBURG, S.C. – South Carolina State scored 14 seconds into the game and it looked like the Bulldogs were going to set the pace with that early score. However, that wasn’t the case at all. Tennessee Tech scored 28 unanswered points as the host Bulldogs never saw the end zone again as the Golden Eagles got a boost from true freshman quarterback Jordyn Potts and the rushing attack from Justin Pegues and Marcus Knight as Tech prevailed 28-7. Knight rushed for 86 yards on 16 carries, averaging 5.4 yards per tote, as he had three touchdowns in the contest. He is the first Golden Eagle to rush for three scores in a game since Bailey Fisher against Western Illinois in 2019.
ORANGEBURG, S.C. – Tennessee Tech hits the midpoint on the 2023 campaign on Saturday as the Golden Eagles take on their final non-conference opponent of the season with a visit to South Carolina State. Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Central. Roger Ealey and Dylan Vazzano will have the call on 98.5 KISS FM, while the game will also be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required). The Bulldogs (2-3) have yet to play a conference game among their Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference foes, but have won two in a row with a 31-10 victory over The Citadel and a 56-6 win against Virginia-Lynchburg – both games on their home field.
ST. CHARLES, Mo. – Tennessee Tech entered its open date last week with some momentum after the Golden Eagles picked up a victory over Kennesaw State. Now, with Big South-Ohio Valley Conference Football Association play opening on their schedule this week at Lindenwood, Tech (1-3) looks to start the important part of the slate on a high note. Kickoff for the game Saturday is 1 p.m. Roger Ealey and Dylan Vazzano will have the call on 98.5 KISS FM, while the game will also be streamed on ESPN+ (subscription required).
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – In their nine-year history, Kennesaw State had only lost 14 games against non-conference opponents coming into Saturday night. Tennessee Tech made it 15 as the Golden Eagles pulled together two touchdown drives in the fourth quarter to give Tech its first win of the season., prevailing 17-7.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As rain fell on Tucker Stadium, it made it a long night for both offenses as Tennessee Tech and North Alabama combined for just one offensive touchdown in the contest. But that one touchdown and two more field goals proved to be the difference on Saturday as the Golden Eagles dropped their third straight game in the 2023 campaign with the visiting Lions taking a 20-7 victory on Saturday. Tech (0-3) returns to action next week as it hosts Kennesaw State on Saturday.
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Last season, Furman’s defense was a ball hawk, standing as one of the best pass defenses in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision. The No. 6-ranked Paladins returned most of those players in the 2023 campaign and picked up right where they left off, picking off four Tennessee Tech passes – returning two for touchdowns – as Furman topped the Golden Eagles 45-10 on Thursday night. Tech (0-1) returns to action next Saturday as the Golden Eagles head to Albuquerque to take on New Mexico. The Golden Eagles had six turnovers in all in the contest, those leading to 28 points for the Paladins. However, even with the miscues, there were still positives in the contest for Tech. Through the first three quarters, the Golden Eagles had put up better offensive numbers than the Paladins, a credit to both Tech’s offense moving the ball and the defense – led by Aaron Swafford’s 12 tackles and a fumble recovery – making Furman’s offense work for what it did collect.
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Camp and workouts are over. As the Tennessee Tech football team loads up the busses for Thursday’s season opener at No. 6-ranked Furman, the Golden Eagles begin a new campaign ready to improve and work toward a Big South-OVC championship. Everything starts Thursday night at 6 p.m. Central. The game will be streamed on ESPN+ with Pete Yanity and Jay Sonnhalter handling the broadcast, while the game can be heard locally on 98.5 KISS FM with Roger Ealey and Dylan Vazzano on the call.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Thunderstorms may have shortened Tennessee Tech Football’s work on Saturday, but as the Golden Eagles completed their first scrimmage at Tucker Stadium, there were a lot of positive signs. Offensively, the Tech rushing attack saw a lot of big gains as Justin Pegues, Jordan Harris and Montana transfer Marcus Knight each piled up solid yardage numbers in the scrimmage.
