• Cardinals are set to start 15 spring practices, concluding with the spring game on April 26 at Provost Umphrey Stadium.
• Lamar had a significant improvement in the previous season, achieving the nation's fourth-best single-season turnaround by winning five more games than the year before.

• Lamar exceeded expectations in their last season, finishing with their first winning record since 2018 and remaining in the title hunt until the end of the season.
• Despite the loss of 11 seniors, including key starters, Lamar retains the core of its roster with 10 offensive starters and 7 defensive starters from the previous season.
