Sacramento State Hornets — 2024 Season Review

Sacramento State competed in the Big Sky Conference as an FCS program during the 2024 season. The Hornets were in the process of transitioning to FBS, with their full FBS membership and MAC membership taking effect for the 2026 season.

As an FCS program in 2024, the Sacramento State Hornets competed against other FCS opponents in their conference. Detailed FBS-level game-by-game results are not available for this team during the 2024 season, as the program had not yet made the transition to the Football Bowl Subdivision. Fans can look forward to tracking the Sacramento State Hornets as a full FBS team starting with the 2026 season on CFBCountdown.com, where every game will feature a live countdown, cross-linked opponents, and real-time schedule tracking.

The transition from FCS to FBS represents a significant milestone in any program's history. It requires substantial investment in facilities, scholarships, and coaching staff to meet the demands of competing at the highest level of college football. The Sacramento State Hornets administration committed to this process with a long-term vision for the program's growth and competitiveness. During 2024, the program continued to recruit student-athletes who would form the foundation of the team's FBS roster, while also developing the game-day infrastructure and operational capacity needed for the rigors of an FBS schedule.

The 2024 season served as an important developmental year for the Sacramento State Hornets, allowing the coaching staff to evaluate talent, install systems, and build the culture necessary for success at the FBS level. Every practice, every game, and every recruiting visit during this period contributed to the program's readiness for the challenge ahead.
