NEW ORLEANS — Southern Miss head football coach Will Hall will take the Main Stage on Wednesday afternoon at the 2024 Sun Belt Football Media Days. Hall will be joined by linebacker Jalil Clemons and wide receiver Tiaquelin "Ti" Mims. The Golden Eagles will take the stage at 1:30 p.m. on ESPN+.
The event will be held at the New Orleans Marriott Warehouse Arts District in downtown New Orleans, La., and will be broadcast nationwide on ESPN+. This year's expanded multicast will include two separate feeds—the traditional Sun Belt Football Media Days Show, which will incorporate portions of the Main Stage and Sun Belt Studio appearances from each team alongside analysis from hosts Matt Stewart and Rocky Boiman, and the new Sun Belt Football Media Days Podium Feed, which will showcase the Main Stage appearances from each team in their entirety.
Sun Belt West Division programs—Arkansas State, Louisiana, ULM, South Alabama, Southern Miss, Texas State and Troy—will participate on Wednesday, July 24.
The full list of media days attendees—the head coach and two student-athletes from each football program—and schedule is listed below.
