“The University’s been such a blessing to me, so it’s really just a full-circle moment to be able to represent the school I love,” she said. “There’s no better opportunity, and I’m just so grateful that they thought enough of me to be Homecoming Queen.” 

Smith is a senior accounting major from Marietta, Georgia. He is the son of Rusty and Angela Smith. Bradley is sponsored by Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority and is escorted by his mother, Angela Smith.  

“I’m very excited. To me, this is really the cherry on top. I’ve truly enjoyed my four years here at TROY and appreciate all the people who have helped shape me into who I am today. The support and opportunities provided by TROY mean so much to me,” he said. “I’ve absolutely loved my time here.” 

TROY Chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., Student Government Association President Caleb Smith, and 2024 Homecoming Queen Madelyn Webb and King Derrick Nobles participated in the halftime ceremony recognizing this year’s honorees.
