Tarleton State finished the 2023 season 8-3 overall and 4-2 in ASUN-WAC action. With its reclassification period over, Tarleton State will be eligible for the FCS Playoffs for the first time next season.
“Our four-year reclassification period was one of the most successful in modern college football history, and we are poised for great things as we head into being a fully-fledged D1 program with playoff eligibility. But it won’t be easy,” Tarleton State head coach Todd Whitten said. “We have our toughest strength of schedule ever and our longest regular season in program history. I’m confident we’ll be up to the challenge, this upcoming group has enormous potential, and I can’t wait to see how special we can make the 2024 season.”
