ORLANDO – There was a plenty of reason for celebration and smiles Thursday afternoon among the Troy football players a day before they do battle against UTSA in the Cure
Linebacker Carlton Martial, the all-time career tackles leader in college football, wore one of the biggest smiles and for good reason after finding out in a team meeting shortly before a pep rally that he earned an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl in his hometown of Mobile.

The rides are, ‘Wow.’”
You see, Friday morning more than 800 graduates will walk across the stage in Troy to acknowledge receiving their degrees. For the graduates on the football trip – 19 members of the football team and two members of the Sound of the South band – their special ceremony came a day early. As mentioned earlier, players – such as Dothan’s A.J. Pierce – weren’t the only ones being honored as graduates.
