Previous season

[edit]

The Statesmen finished the 2019 season 6–4, 5–3 in Gulf South Conference (GSC) play, to finish third in the conference standings. On August 12, 2020, Gulf South Conference postponed fall competition in 2020 for several sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2] A few months later in November, the conference announced that there will be no spring conference competition in football.[3] Teams that opt-in to compete would have to schedule on their own. The Statesmen did not compete in the 2020 season and opted out of spring competition.
