The USF Bulls have added the Stony Brook Seawolves and the Elon Phoenix to their future football schedules, the Tampa Bay Times has reported. Both opponents are FCS schools.

Stony Brook will visit Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Sept. 2, 2017, while Elon will face the Bulls there on Sept. 1, 2018. USF is 1-0 against Stony Brook and 2-1 against Elon.

Stony Brook is the second non-conference opponent scheduled for South Florida for the 2017 season. The Bulls are also slated to host Michigan State, which is the second half of a home-and-home series that begins on Sept. 7, 2013 in East Lansing.

Elon is the first game on the books for USF in 2018.

USF still has openings for two non-conference games in 2014, one in 2015, and two in 2016. The Bulls also have a contract to play Florida in Gainesville, but a date has yet to be determined.
