CLINTON, S.C. – A marquee event on the Presbyterian College football team's preseason calendar, Blue Hose Athletics is excited to announce this year's edition of Fan Fest on Saturday, August 22. Sponsored by Self Regional Healthcare, the event will begin at 6:00 PM from Bailey Memorial Stadium.

PC fans of all ages are invited – free of charge – to participate in an evening full of fun activities, autograph sessions with student-athletes and coaches, and refreshments.

Fan Fest will conclude with an intrasquad scrimmage on the field, serving as the first glimpse of the 2026 Blue Hose roster since the beginning of preseason camp.

It's an exciting new era for Presbyterian football, awaiting the debut campaign for head coach Matt Rahl who directed the PC offensive line to 16 total wins over the last two seasons and a historic 10-2 record last year.

Four PC players were voted to the preseason Phil Steele Magazine All-PFL lineup: offensive lineman Marcello Coleman (1^st), wide receiver Jalen Patrick (3^rd), and defensive backs Noah Taylor (3^rd) and Ryan Largin (3^rd).

The Scotsmen will kick off a new season at their home site for the first time since 2021, welcoming UVA Wise for the season opener on Thursday, August 27. Kickoff is at 7:00 and will be streamed live on ESPN+.

Presby has won their last eight games in Clinton dating back to 2024, the program's longest home winning streak since 1980 and just two victories away from tying the all-time school record.

This will be the 114^th football team fielded by Presbyterian College, gearing up for their sixth season as a member of the PFL.
