The Roanoke College Maroons are back on the gridiron after a season that saw them finish with five wins and four losses, a record that has set the stage for a promising second year under new leadership.
A Fresh Start for the Maroons
Head coach Bryan Stinespring, a former Virginia Tech standout who spent years learning under legendary coach Frank Beamer, brings a blend of tradition and fresh energy to the program, emphasizing steady progress and a clear vision for the future.
Offensive lineman Nathan Johnson, one of the team’s emerging voices, says the current group of underclassmen is poised to shape the program’s identity, describing the upcoming season as a defining moment for the Maroons.
The schedule opens with a road trip before the team hosts Greensboro College on September 12, a game that will mark the first home appearance of the season and test the squad’s early growth.
With a focus on urgency and development, the Maroons hope to translate their early momentum into a sustained winning culture, a goal that drives every practice and every play.
