GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Towson University football team continues its road schedule this Saturday, November 30th, with ‌a matchup against NorthCarolina A&T ⁤at⁣ Truist Stadium. Kickoff is set⁢ for 1:00 ‌p.m. ET.

This contest marks the second meeting between⁢ the two programs, with Towson​ securing a ‍35-33 victory over the Aggies last season in Towson. The Tigers (6-5) ⁣are looking to ‌finish the regular season strong, while‌ North ​Carolina A&T (5-6) aims to bolster ⁣its record‍ before the conclusion of the season.

Several Tigers are⁣ poised to make​ their mark ​in ​the ⁢Towson record books. Punter Bryce LaFollette is averaging 43.4 yards per punt over his two seasons, a figure that would​ be⁤ the highest two-year average‌ in program history, surpassing​ shane McDonough’s 42.9 yards (2019, 2021). Sean Landeta holds the four-year record with ⁢42 ⁤yards ​per punt from 1979-82.

Offensively, wide receivers John Dunmore and Jaceon Doss have combined for ⁤nine receiving ​touchdowns, with ‌Dunmore recording five and ⁢Doss contributing four. Dunmore’s five‍ touchdowns tie for the most ‍by a Tiger⁢ in a single ⁢season since 2019, when Shane Leatherbury had 12. Towson’s 14​ receiving touchdowns are one shy of​ the program’s total from 2019 ⁣(22).

the Tigers ‍recently reclaimed The ​Battle for Greater Baltimore trophy⁤ with a 27-22 victory over Morgan state⁤ on September 6th, extending their winning ⁢streak against the Bears to eight games. John Dunmore’s game-winning touchdown catch with 24 seconds remaining sealed the win.

Towson‍ Athletics recently mourned the loss of⁣ Carl Runk, the program’s first head football coach, who‌ passed away on November 24th at the age of 88. Runk coached ‍the Tigers ⁢from 1969-71 and also led the men’s lacrosse team to a‍ 1974 ⁣DII national championship during his tenure from 1968-98.

Looking ahead, CAA Football will⁢ experience changes following​ the 2025 season with the departure of Villanova and William & mary to the Patriot League. Sacred Heart will join the conference in 2026.
