UT Martin Skyhawks

The UT Martin Skyhawks represent the University of Tennessee at Martin, an FCS program that has become one of the Ohio Valley Conference's most consistent recent winners. Playing out of northwest Tennessee, the Skyhawks have built a reputation for physical, well-coached football that regularly contends for league titles. The program's recent run of championships has raised its national profile within the FCS ranks. Skyhawks football is a source of real pride for a tight-knit university community.

Football at the school traces back to 1925, when it fielded its first team as Hall-Moody Junior College. UT Martin has captured multiple conference championships across its junior-college and NCAA Division I FCS eras, most notably reeling off four consecutive league titles beginning in the early 2020s across the Ohio Valley Conference and OVC-Big South Football Association. Those championship runs have come with two trips to the FCS playoffs since 2021. The Skyhawks' modern success marks one of the more notable turnarounds in Ohio Valley Conference football.
