Tomon Named Houston Texans President
1/29/24
Mike Tomon (B'01), a four year letterman at defensive back from 1997 through 2000, has been named president of the NFL's Houston Texans.
"We couldn't be more excited to welcome Mike Tomon to our Texans family," said team owner Cal McNair in a team release. "Mike is a proven leader who brings more than 20 years of experience in sports and entertainment to our team. His extensive background in stadium development and passion for inspiring those around him shined during our conversations. As we enter this next chapter as an organization, I'm looking forward to the future of our business operations under his leadership."
Since 2014, Tomon has served as co-president & Chief Operating Officer at Legends, a Dallas-based event management services firm.
"During Tomon's tenure, Legends had several strategic acquisitions that led to substantial growth while establishing groundbreaking partnerships with global brands such as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, FIFA, and the Rugby World Cup," read the release. "He was also involved in commercial engagements of NFL venues such as SoFi Stadium, Allegiant Stadium, Highmark Stadium and The Star in Frisco, while also assisting with the 2024 Olympics in Paris and 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles."
"I'm honored to join the Texans during such a fun and exciting time," said Tomon. "I want to thank Janice, Cal, Hannah, and the McNair family for giving me this incredible opportunity to join the NFL. I love working with people who are passionate about their work and love what they do, and it was clear in our conversations that the McNairs love this organization and the city of Houston. Their vision for this team and aspirations to be champions in every way allowed us to connect immediately. I also want to thank my wife, Lauren, and my two children for their support, we're all thrilled about the opportunity to move to Houston. I know that Texans fans are among the most passionate in the NFL, and I can't wait to get started."
Early Signings List
Updated 12/10/24
The football office has announced early signings for the Class of 2029.
A number of signings come from New England prep schools, a market that does not produce many ranked high school athletes but which are a good academic fit for Georgetown. With 24 departing seniors and a still-to-be-determined number of transfer portal candidates, it is likely another 10 or so recruits will be signed in the spring.
A total of 14 signings were announced on December 4:

Schedule Update
12/4/24
The Lou Little Cup lives again.
What was thought to be the end of the 10-year series with Columbia has apparently been extended through at least 2025, per a Columbia University release.
The Lions will meet Georgetown on September 27, 2025 in New York.
Columbia finished the season 7-3 with a share of its first Ivy League title since 1961.
This addition, plus the arrival of Richmond to the Patriot League schedule, suggests that if Marist and Davidson return to the schedule, Georgetown will play a 12 game season for the first time since 2003, or one of these schools will be coming off the schedule for an 11 game slate.
