The Tuskegee Golden Tigers released their 2024 football schedule as they prepare for another postseason run under second-year head coach Aaron James. James took over in January last year after serving as the team's offensive coordinator. The former Golden Tiger quarterback led Tuskegee to an impressive 7-4 overall record and a 6-2 record in the SIAC. The Golden Tigers fell short of the championship game after a crushing 35-10 loss to Miles College, but they expect to be right in the thick of championship contention again in 2024.

“I am very excited about our upcoming schedule, which consists of some key non-conference opponents in representatives from the CIAA and two Division 1 SWAC programs,” James said. “These opportunities will not only allow us to showcase our talents to our normal fan base and supporters, but also give us the chance to show the pride and culture of Tuskegee football as a whole. Playing in the SIAC already provides us with a very strong strength of schedule, but we have added these out of conference games to continue to push ourselves so that we may be prepared in any situation.”
