2020 Fall Ball Is Underway For The Hawks

Posted on October 12, 2020 by 11 Comments

The Fighting Hawks are officially back on the practice field in full gear. This time it’s under the umbrella of “Fall Ball”. Last time they were on the field for this type of workout was in March for their annual “Spring Ball” session. Covid hit, however, so fast forward to October and here we are.

Hawks Add Bismarck Standout To Class of 2021

Posted on September 29, 2020 by

Stop me if you heard this before: UND has gotten a commitment from a flex-type WR/TE. OC Danny Freund has made it a point to have long, rangy WR’s that can double as a tight end if need be. He already has commits from Jaden Norby (6’4″) and Tanner Koziol (6’5″) in this class to

Hawks Spring 2021 Schedule Finalized

Posted on September 25, 2020 by 2 Comments

The long awaited Spring 2021 schedule has been released and it’s chalk full of quality. Most football folks figured the FCS would come up with something for a spring season after the fall season was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. But, nobody knew quite how it would look and how many games there would be,

UND was able to add another in-state standout last week as Kindred product Ethan McKenney pledged his commitment to Bubba Schweigert and the Hawks. The other North Dakota commit is Sam Hagen of Park River, who was the very first player to join the Class of 2021. 100% Committed!! Blessed to say I am going

Highly Ranked Linebacker Commits to UND

Posted on September 7, 2020 by 2 Comments

I had an inkling that UND may start recruiting the ‘Land of Lincoln’ when it became apparent they were leaving the Big Sky to join the Missouri Valley Football Conference. That came to fruition this past year when the Hawks signed Illinois products Jagger Ferden and Quinn Urwiler to the Class of 2020. To add

UND Adds Speed With Their Latest Commits

Posted on August 25, 2020 by

Size definitely isn’t an issue when evaluating the UND Class of 2021. They had tall, hybrid type WR/TE’s, a big running back and a couple offensive lineman. However, now they’ve added that high-end speed element to the class with their two latest commits. Last Friday the Hawks got a commitment from Champlain Park High School

The Reason Why College Football Was Postponed

Posted on August 10, 2020 by 1 Comment

As most know by now, UND’s Football season was officially ‘postponed‘ last last week due to a variety of issues all relating to COVID-19. This is obviously devastating news to many and not something that was taken light by anybody. As a matter of fact, as I am typing this the Big 10 is leaking

Hawks Reveal 2020 Roster

I think I can speak for most everybody when I say we are craving normalcy at this point. We want school. We want sports. We want our “old life” back. One event that brought back some normalcy is seeing UND release their 2020 roster. Since we are always purveyors of positivity here at UNDFB360 :),

The 2020 season is far from a certainty at this point but that doesn’t mean programs are not proceeding ahead as usual. As they typically do, the UND Football program brought in the vast majority of the 2020 signing class last week (week after the 4th of July). This allows the true freshman to get

Random Hawk Updates

Typically at this time of the year we are knee deep in recruiting and summer camp updates. The recruiting part has been there but the camps aren’t. However, there are still things going down on campus and within the UND football program. The football staff is waiting to move into their new “temporary” Starcher Hall

Posted on June 25, 2020 by

In a bit of a surprise, UND decided to add a quarterback to the 2020 roster on Wednesday. Sophomore QB Ethan Postler of Moorpark JC announced via Twitter that he is transferring to UND for the upcoming season. Postler, 6’5″-210, is originally from Iowa and played his prep ball at Clear Creek Amana High School.

Sioux Falls Product Chooses UND

Posted on June 15, 2020 by

UND doesn’t get a lot of commitments from the state of South Dakota. In fact, we believe the last commitment from the Mount Rushmore state came when OL Darren Deneui committed/signed with the Sioux in 2009 (note – Alex Wilde did join the team as a grad transfer last season).

UND Snares A Pair Of Minnesota Commitments

The state of Minnesota has naturally been a go-to territory when it comes to recruiting for Bubba Schweigert. The Class of 2021 is proving no different. In the last two days Schweigert picked up his third and fourth commitments and created some nice momentum in the process. On Monday, running back Gaven Ziebarth of Cambridge-Isanti

In a bit of a shocker, at least for myself and I am sure a few fans, UND has lost another player to the vaunted “transfer portal”. The previous UND players to transfer out were not huge surprises but this one was. On Friday it was announced by Rivals via their Transfer Portal twitter page
