Morgan State Opens Game Week With Cameron Edge Leading the Bears at North Carolina A&T

Morgan State visits North Carolina A&T at 6 p.m. Saturday in the Bears’ first matchup with the Aggies since 2019.

Morgan State opens game week with Cameron Edge established as the Bears’ starting quarterback and a familiar HBCU opponent waiting in Greensboro. The Bears visit North Carolina A&T at 6 p.m. Saturday at Truist Stadium, turning PowerPage’s opening-week countdown into a concrete matchup with personnel, broadcast and series details now confirmed.

Edge gives Morgan State an experienced voice at the center of the offense. The Maryland native previously played at Maryland before continuing his career with the Bears, and his selection provides clarity for a unit replacing several prominent contributors. His first assignment is managing an opener on the road without allowing the atmosphere or early-game emotion to speed up the offense.

Morgan State’s official game-week release confirms several ways Baltimore listeners can follow the game. FloCollege will carry the stream, while WEAA 88.9 FM and WEAA.org provide local radio coverage. The game will also be available through HSRN and SiriusXM channels 386 and 988.

Saturday renews a series that has been quiet since 2019. Morgan State leads the all-time matchup 44-36-3 and won the last two meetings in 2018 and 2019. North Carolina A&T remains one of the Bears’ most recognizable historic opponents, giving the opener an immediate layer of tradition beyond the usual Week Zero uncertainty.

The Bears enter with 15 returning starters: four on offense, six on defense and five on special teams. Nine players earned preseason All-MEAC recognition, and the conference’s preseason poll placed Morgan State fourth. Those numbers suggest a veteran foundation, but the road opener will reveal how quickly the returning core can absorb new responsibilities around Edge.

For Morgan State, the challenge is to turn continuity into composure. A clean start, dependable special teams and manageable down-and-distance situations would give Edge room to direct the game instead of chasing it. The season begins with a rivalry shaped by decades of HBCU football, and Baltimore will have multiple ways to follow every snap.
