On Friday, Conference USA released its 2025 preseason watch list as selected by the league’s 12 head coaches. Five student-athletes from each of the conference’s 12 member institutions are recognized as key players to watch ahead of the upcoming season.
For Liberty, offensive linemen Aaron Fenimore and DJ Geth, tight end Jacob Jenkins, defensive lineman Bryce Dixon, defensive back A’Khori Jones, and punter Max Morgan earned the distinction of being named to the Preseason Watch List.
Liberty and the rest of the league’s members head to Texas this week for CUSA’s annual media day which is scheduled for Tuesday. In addition to head coach Jamey Chadwell, the Flames will be represented by Fenimore and senior defensive back and punt returner Brylan Green.
Shortly thereafter, training camp begins as Liberty is scheduled to hit the practice field for the first of several practices prior to the start of the season. The Flames open the season on Saturday, August 30 against Maine. Kickoff from Williams Stadium in Lynchburg, Virginia is scheduled for 4 p.m.
