The anticipation for the upcoming football season officially kicked off in Baltimore, and the energy was absolutely electric! The annual MEAC Football Media Day took over M&T Bank Stadium, bringing together the brightest stars, coaches, and personalities from across the conference.

The stage was set at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore for the 2026 MEAC Football Media Day, and all eyes were rightfully on the defending Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and HBCU National Champions, the South Carolina State Bulldogs. Leading the charge was none other than Head Coach Chennis Berry, whose cordial demeanor, grounded philosophy, and steady leadership made a major impression on the media and attendees alike.

Despite coming off a momentous championship-winning season, Coach Berry is actively avoiding any sense of a championship hangover. Instead of looking back at past glories, he brought a decidedly forward-facing perspective to the conference.

As teams prepare for the gridiron battles ahead, the enthusiasm brought by dedicated personalities reminds us why HBCU football is so special. It’s about more than just the game — it’s about the community, the culture, and the undeniable swagger.

Let’s get it on with this week’s SCSU talk of the town. 🐾
