The Elon Football team returned to the NCAA FCS playoffs in 2022 in coach Tony Trisciani’s fourth season with the Phoenix. 

Elon finished No. 18 in the final FCS Coaches’ poll after its season came to an end against Furman in the first round of the playoffs. 

Trisciani’s rebuild of the program is on schedule. After losing seasons in year one and two, Trisciani led the program to back-to-back winning seasons. With a 20-20 overall record, Trisciani and the Phoenix hope to further climb the CAA ladder after finishing 8-4 overall and 6-2 in conference play a year ago.
