The 2024 UT Permian Basin Falcons football team represented the University of Texas Permian Basin (UTPB) in the 2024 NCAA Division II football season as a member of the Lone Star Conference (LSC). They were led by second-year head coach Kris McCullough. The Falcons played most of their home games at Astound Broadband Stadium in Midland, Texas while Ratliff Stadium in Odessa, Texas hosted one game. UTPB entered the 2024 season as the defending LSC champion.
The Falcons finished the regular season with an overall record of 7âÂÂ4 with an LSC record of 6âÂÂ3 to finish tied for third place; this marked the first time in program history that the Falcons finished with a winning record in back-to-back seasons. UTPB averaged 428.9 yards of offense per game while scoring an average of 34.5 points per game, both first in the LSC. The team received the conference's bid for the Heritage Bowl, which was the program's second bowl appearance.
In June 2024, offensive coordinator Ryan Lusby was hired to be the head football coach for Dodge City Community College. Quarterbacks' coach Kenny Hrncir was promoted to co-offensive coordinator, sharing offensive play calling duties with incumbent co-offensive coordinator Blake Crandall.
The LSC media poll was released on July 25, 2024. The Falcons were predicted to finish third in the conference, and they received four first-place votes.
Starting quarterback Dylan Graham was injured early in the game, with Christian Kaopua coming in before he was replaced by Issac Mooring. At a press conference the following Monday, head coach Kris McCulloch announced that Graham would be out for the rest of the season with a lower body injury.
