The Edward Waters Tigers just revealed their schedule for the 2024 football season with an appearance from a SWAC school. The Tigers are coming off of a successful 6-4 season last year. They finished 5-3 in the SIAC, which tied them for third place in the conference along with Allen. They will look to improve this coming season and take advantage of Benedict after they lost key players to graduation and their head coach Chennis Berry.

Edward Waters' season kicks off on Sept. 7 against Florida Memorial in the Big Cat Classic. The Tigers will seek revenge in 2024 after falling to Florida Memorial last year, 38-21. The following week, they match up against a SWAC opponent in Alcorn State.
