📈 STOCK UP

🔼 At the Top. As we prepare to watch the Spiders take on Elon tomorrow at 2 p.m., let's take a look at some stats. Richmond is No. 1 in the FCS in turnovers gained, interceptions, and defensive touchdowns. In the CAA, we are in a five-way tie for having only one conference loss, and Elon is included in that. The Spiders hold a 9-5 advantage over Elon in the all-time series. 🏈 Read more about our history with Elon here.

🔼 Forward Moving. The men’s basketball team just added two new forwards to the 2024 roster. Bryson McGlothin and Jaylen Robinson just signed their National Letter of Intent to play with the Spiders. McGlothin is from Plano, Tex. and Robinson is from Jacksonville, Fla. Both are ranked among the top 25 players from Class of 2024 in their respective states.🏀 Read more about the duo here.

🤔 SPIDERS TRIVIA

Bank on Him. Aaron Banks has been solid on defense this season. He got his first pick-six of the season against the Aggies and had another interception in the Rhode Island game.

Today’s question— how many total tackles does Banks have so far this season?

🕷️ ONE BIG THING

Run it Up. Track and field is getting their shoes ready because the 2023-2024 schedule just dropped. December is when the season kicks off, and the team will have eight wonderful indoor events, avoiding the chilly weather. March is when you’ll see the team in the nice spring weather outside at Robins Stadium on the 22nd. That is also the only home meet, so make sure you plan to be there. 🏃 See the full schedule here.
