Fall season delayed

On August 12, 2020, Gulf South Conference postponed fall competition for several sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] A few months later in November, the conference announced that there will be no spring conference competition in football.[2] Teams that opt-in to compete would have to schedule on their own.

At the beginning of January 2021, the Tigers program announced their first opponent of the spring competition, Savannah State for the Gulf Coast Challenge.[3] In late February, the program announced their second opponent, Limestone.[4]
