INDIANAPOLIS – The 16th-ranked UIndy football team continued a tradition nearly as old as the game itself this week by selected its team captains for the 2024 season. Aaron Barnett, Michael Brown, Jon Lewis, Clay Schulte and Gavin Sukup were voted by their peers to assume the team's official leadership roles this fall.
 
All five student-athletes were names to the All-GLVC First Team last season, with Sukup headlining the group as the 2023 GLVC Offensive Player of the Year. Now a junior, Sukup racked up more than 2,700 yards and 25 touchdowns through the air while rushing for nearly 300 yards and seven additional TDs.
 
The Greyhounds will once again enter the fall as the conference favorite after topping the GLVC Preseason Coaches Poll. The reigning champs have grabbed nine of the 12 GLVC championship trophies handed out since the league's inaugural season in 2012, and own an impressive 74-8 (.902) mark versus GLVC opponents. UIndy is also in search of its third consecutive NCAA playoff berth.
 
UIndy opens the '24 season on Sept. 7 with a road trip to Hillsdale—the first of three non-conference opponents. The Hounds will later clash with two GLIAC foes, battling Wayne State on the road in week three before hosting Saginaw Valley a week later for Homecoming. The GLVC schedule kicks off with an early-season matchup with rival Truman at Key Stadium Sept.14. The final seven weeks feature conference opponents, capped by a road game at newly-welcomed full-time-member Lincoln University.
