2008 William & Mary Tribe football team

2008
The William & Mary Tribe football team represented the College of William & Mary in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) college football during the 2009 season. William & Mary competed as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) under head football coach Jimmye Laycock and played their home games at Zable Stadium. The 2008 campaign came on the heels of a 4–7 record in 2007. William & Mary finished the season ranked #20 according to the final Sports Network FCS Poll.

The 2008 season was also the final one for redshirt senior cornerback and punt returner Derek Cox. Cox, an All-Conference player, would later be selected in the 2009 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 9th pick in the 3rd round (73rd overall), making him the second-highest player ever drafted out of William & Mary (Darren Sharper, 60th overall pick in the 2nd round, 1997).
