UT Martin was picked third in the 2018 OVC football preseason poll.
UT Martin recorded its 12th-straight .500 or better Conference record under head coach Jason Simpson last season, finishing 4-4 in OVC play and 6-5 overall. Simpson, the dean of OVC coaches as he begins year No. 13, ranks seventh in OVC history with 78 total victories.
This year he returns 63 players and 13 starters from a year ago, including Preseason All-OVC running back selection LaDarius Galloway. Galloway tallied 859 rushing yards and 307 receiving yards a year ago for the Skyhawks. Galloway will bolster an offensive attack that includes junior wide receiver Jaylon Moore (18 receptions, 297 yards, four touchdowns) and sophomore quarterback Dresser Winn (744 passing yards and five TDs in five games).
The defensive side of the ball should once again be a strength for the Skyhawks, who ranked sixth in the FCS in total defense (273.8 yards/game allowed) a year ago. Among the returning defensive players are senior linebackers James Gilleylen (88 tackles, 9.0 tackles-for-loss, three forced fumbles) and Kevin Prather, Jr. (77 tackles, 10.0 tackles-for-loss, eight quarterback hurries).
