1ST AND 10

Under the direction of first-year head coach Saj Thakkar, Davidson will kick off its 2025 campaign Saturday with a 1 p.m. contest against Georgetown inside Davidson College Stadium.
Thakkar, the 29th head coach in program history, was hired on Dec. 17, 2024 after two years at Bentley University, where he went 14-6.
Davidson returns all-conference performers Mari Adams (RB), Mason Sheron (RB), Andrew Frazier (WR) and Kyler Herring (OL) from last year's team that finished 6-5 overall and 4-4 in Pioneer Football League action.
Adams, backfield mate Sheron and Herring were selected to the PFL's preseason all-conference squad as voted on by the head coaches earlier this month.
In all, Davidson welcomes back nine starters on the offensive side of the ball.
The Wildcats have put together seven straight winning seasons, the longest stretch in program history.
Saturday's game marks the sixth straight year Davidson has opened with a scholarship program.
The Wildcats will play three straight against FCS scholarship programs to open the 2025 campaign.

INSIDE THE SERIES

Saturday's meeting will be the 15th all-time between Davidson and Georgetown.
The last time the two FCS foes met in Davidson, the Wildcats knocked off Georgetown, 27-20, inside Richardson Stadium on Aug. 31, 2019.
Davidson is 2-4 all-time against the Hoyas at home.
The Hoyas have won 10 of the previous 11 in the series.

LAST MEETING | GEORGETOWN 46, DAVIDSON 24 -- AUG. 31, 2024 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Davidson dropped its 2024 season opener at Georgetown, 46-24, on Cooper Field.
After falling behind 5-0 early following a safety and a Georgetown field goal, Davidson settled in with a 48-yarder from kicker Adam Zouagui, the second longest of his career.
The 'Cats cut the deficit to 19-17 midway through the second quarter with rushing touchdowns from their all-conference duo of Mason Sheron and Mari Adams. Adams' first score of the season was set up by a 42-yard pass from Coulter Cleland to Kellyn West.
Georgetown carried a 22-17 lead into the half following a late field goal. The Wildcats had a chance to put points on the board or take the lead just before the break, but Cleland was intercepted deep in Hoyas' territory with seven seconds remaining.
The Hoyas, who rushed for 263 yards on 27 carries, scored 21 unanswered to begin the third quarter.
Davidson added a late touchdown from sophomore Andrew Frazier, who carried it in from seven yards out for the first of his career.
Despite controlling the time of possession 36:17 to 21:04, the 'Cats were penalized eight times for 80 yards and turned it over twice.

Davidson will play its next two on the road beginning with a 6 p.m. kickoff at Elon next weekend.
