Grambling State and Langston Face Off Again: Which Team Will Claim Glory in the High-Stakes Shreveport Kickoff Classic?

The 2025 game marks Grambling’s return to Shreveport, last appearing in the Shreveport Classic in 2022 when the Tigers defeated Northwestern State 47-21. Grambling State has a strong history in Shreveport, playing 20 games in the city with an impressive all-time record of 16-3-1. The Shreveport Kickoff Classic traces its origins back to the Red River State Fair Classic, which began in 1911.

Grambling and Langston have faced off six times since 1977, with the TIgers leading the series 5-1. Their last matchup was in 2008, where Grambling secured a 13-2 victory. But, Grambling will face a Langston team that has built themselves into a winner in the NAIA, finishing last season 6-4. The Lions made noise with a few of their players, even getting some NFL draft attention over the past couple of years. Langston University defensive back Travis Martin secured a rookie mini-camp invite with the Seattle Seahawks after being unselected in the 2025 NFL Draft.
