DeLAND, Fla. – Stetson Football will wrap up its spring season with the annual Spring Game on Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Athletic Training Center (ATC) in DeLand.
The game marks the culmination of a productive spring for the Hatters as the program continues to build momentum entering year two under head coach Mike Jasper. After opening practice in late March, Stetson has worked through multiple weeks of on-field development, including two scrimmages, while continuing to build depth and competition across the roster as competition intensifies across all position groups heading into the fall.
"We've had a strong and productive offseason," Jasper said. "I'm really proud of the way our guys responded after the fall. They've put in a lot of work in the weight room and throughout the spring, and we've seen real growth — not just physically, but culturally as well. The group is night and day from where we were a year ago, and this is a great opportunity to open things up and showcase that progress."
Saturday's Spring Game will give fans their first look at the 2026 Hatters in a game setting, highlighting both returning players and newcomers competing for roles heading into the fall season.
Following the game, fans will have the opportunity to interact with players during an informal meet-and-greet, with student-athletes expected to remain on the field for photos and autographs. Team posters and informational materials will also be available.
A representative from the Stetson Ticket Office will be on site to provide information on 2026 season tickets and upcoming promotions.
Admission is free and open to the public. Fans are encouraged to come out, connect with the team, and get an early look at the Hatters ahead of the 2026 season.
