96 Days 'till Kickoff - Avery Worsham

It's now 96 days until kickoff of Catamount football at Floyd Stadium, home of the Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee State on August 29th in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. 

To help pass those long summer days until football season starts, and hopefully get the Catamount faithful more excited about the upcoming season, we'll continue the 100 day football countdown. 

- No current football player is assigned to #96, so we'll highlight one of our incoming freshmen -
