The Spring Game, which will return to Corbett Stadium on campus for a 2 p.m. kickoff on Sat., April 13, saw a capacity crowd fill the stands and grass berms around the USF soccer teams’ competition venue last year. Fans are encouraged to reserve their general admission entrance in advance (starting April 8) and will be limited to four tickets per request.
On April 8 at 10 a.m., a ticket link will be distributed on USF Athletics social channels (X & Facebook) and the USF Bulls App as well as be made available on GoUSFBulls.com to allow fans to reserve their free tickets (limit 4) to the game. Ticket requests will be accepted through midnight on April 10 or until supplies last.
The game will be broadcast live on 102.5 FM The Bone and on the Bulls Unlimited digital radio channel (USF Bulls App or TuneIn Radio).
There will not be a live streamed video broadcast of this year’s game. USF football social channels (X, Facebook & Instagram) will provide some real time highlights of big plays throughout the game as well as a live stream of head coach Alex Golesh’s postgame press conference on X (@USFFootball).
Parking lots on Sycamore Drive/Lot 18 and in Yuengling Center Lots 6 and 22 will be free and open early Saturday morning. Fans are welcome to tailgate in those lots and are asked to only occupy one space per vehicle set-up and not to block traffic pathways.
Similar to last year, several fan activations, a Kidz Zone, food and beverage options, and a beer garden will be located in and around Corbett Stadium. The stadium gates will open at 12 p.m. with all general public seating in the stands and around the field berms on a first-come basis. Fans are encouraged to bring blankets and utilize seating areas on the grass berms surrounding the playing surface, and to get into the venue early to select their seating location in the general admission configuration.
Head Coach Alex Golesh’s second USF team returns 20 starters – 9 on offense, 9 on defense and two specialists – including record-setting quarterback Byrum Brown (Raleigh, N.C.) and wide receiver Sean Atkins (Viera), coming off the program’s first 3,000-yard passing and 1,000-yard receiving seasons. The 2023 Bulls set 12 team and 16 individual records and capped the biggest turnaround in program history (going 7-6 after a 1-11 campaign in 2022) with a 45-0 rout of Syracuse in the Boca Raton Bowl. The USF offense ranked No. 17 nationally producing 451.6 ypg and led the nation running 82.1 plays per game. The Bulls 5,871 offensive yards on the year ranked as the third-best total in program history.
The Bulls return 10 of their top 12 tacklers, four of their top five leaders in tackles for loss and their top four leaders in interceptions on defense, including leading tackler Jhalyn Shuler (Abbeville, S.C. – 97 tackles/8.5 TFL), interception leader Logan Berryhill (Kingsland Ga. – 3 interceptions) and defensive end Tramel Logan (Miami), who tied a USF record with three defensive touchdowns in 2023.
