97 Days 'till Kickoff - Tyler Junius

It's now 97 days until kickoff of Catamount football at the Raymond James Stadium, home of the University of South Florida Bulls on August 30th in in Tampa, FL.

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 each day until kickoff day.

Since no player is currently assigned #97, we'll highlight one of our incoming freshmen.
