BALTIMORE — Morgan State football begins its 2025 season Saturday night with a challenging road test against the University of South Alabama, as the Bears look to extend their season-opening winning streak to three games.

The Bears are coming off a 6-6 season in 2024 and are seeking their first winning season since 2009. Under fourth-year head coach Damon Wilson, Morgan State returns 20 starters this season — nine on offense, six on defense and five on special teams.

Saturday's matchup marks the first-ever meeting between Morgan State and South Alabama. While the Bears have won their last two season openers, they face a significant challenge as they remain winless against FBS opponents with an 0-9 all-time record.
