Troy Trojans head baseball coach Skylar Meade is set to receive a four-year contract extension, according to D1 Baseball's Kendall Rogers.

The extension will make Meade the highest-paid coach in the Sun Belt Conference.

Meade's extension also includes a fifth-year continuation rollover. This means that Meade's extension will include five years under specific continuation terms.

Meade and his coaching career, College World Series season in 2026

Meade spent 13 years as a pitching coach at four different schools, including Eastern Illinois (2009-2012), Middle Tennessee (2013-2014), Michigan State (2015-2017), and South Carolina (2018-2021).

Before the 2022 college baseball season, he was hired as head coach of the Troy Trojans. In his first season with Troy, the Trojans finished with a 32-24 overall record and were 15-15 in Sun Belt play.

In each of the next four seasons, Troy finished with 37 wins or more under Meade's direction. During those same four seasons, the Trojans have also finished in the top three in the Sun Belt standings.

In five seasons as Troy's head coach, Meade has compiled 187 wins. Out of those 187 wins, 86 of them have been wins against Sun Belt opponents. In each of the last four seasons, Troy has won 17 or more conference games.

In 2026, Meade led Troy to its first College World Series appearance in program history. The Trojans finished with a 39-32 overall record and a 17-13 record in Sun Belt play.

This past season was the crowning achievement of everything Meade has accomplished with Troy baseball.

An extension for Meade gives Troy a real opportunity to be competitive and fight for more College World Series appearances for years to come. It shows the Trojans are serious about their baseball program.

Meade has provided Troy with consistency for its baseball team. Now, that consistency is here to stay.
