Born in 1954 in Sacramento, the Sacramento State Hornets football program has grown into an FCS force. The Hornets captured Big Sky Conference titles in 2019, 2021 and 2022, climbed to a No. 2 national seed and reached the quarterfinals, then followed with a headline-grabbing 2023 win at Stanford. The annual Causeway Classic with UC Davis fuels the region, a rivalry that splits families along the Yolo Causeway and packs Hornet Stadium every November. Alums like return ace DeAndre Carter and versatile defender Marte Mapu embody the program’s edge, while coach Troy Taylor’s recent era reset expectations and set the stage for the current push. On fall Saturdays, Hornet Stadium buzzes with tailgates, the Hornet Walk and a loud student section in green and gold, creating an intimate, high-energy backdrop for big-game moments.
