Georgia State has added three more non-conference games to its upcoming football schedules.

The Panthers will host Tennessee-Martin in 2016, will make a third trip to Alabama in 2020 and will play at Auburn in 2021. The Panthers will receive more than $2.5 million in guarantees for the two games against SEC opponents.

It will be Georgia State’s first game against the Tigers. The Tide won their previous two meetings 63-7 in 2010 and 45-3 in 2013.
