After Shaky Start Hawks Storm Back To Defeat SDSU

Posted on March 1, 2021 by 6 Comments

I have really enjoyed the spring football season thus far, folks. I think I could get used to this. The Fighting Hawks took down the #3 ranked South Dakota State Jackrabbits on Saturday by a final of 28-17 and in the process energized a fanbase to levels not seen since the early 2000’s. There were

Hawks Add In-State Standout Simon Romfo Before Signing Day

Posted on February 1, 2021 by 5 Comments

The recruiting world has been fairly quiet over the past month or so. The ‘early signing period’ has taken away a lot of the fanfare from the February ‘late signing day’. However, Bubba Schweigert and Danny Freund found time to squeeze in one more commitment in quarterback Simon Romfo, who is slated to be a

The MVFC Modifies Their Spring Schedule

Posted on January 22, 2021 by 5 Comments

In what wasn’t a huge surprise, the MVFC reshuffled their conference schedule yesterday in response to Indiana State opting out of the spring season. This new schedule isn’t a drastic change for UND as they didn’t play the Sycamores this year. The Hawks still open the season with three straight home games but now play

Wisconsin Defensive Back Commits To Hawks

Posted on January 11, 2021 by

When reviewing the early 2021 signing class we had written that it was unusual to see UND not have a recruit from Wisconsin. That all changed on Sunday. Cornerback Clayton Bishop of Kenosha Indian Trail High School committed to the Hawks yesterday and upped the class total to 18. Former UND OL Ben Jansen also

We’re typically used to laying out the “fall camp” schedule for everyone, but like most everything else in the world, this year is different. The UND Football program will begin their spring camp soon as they set their sights on the home opener on February 20th vs. the Missouri State Bears and new head coach

Fall Ball Is Complete: Here’s What We Know Heading Into MVFC Spring Season

Posted on November 30, 2020 by 3 Comments

Fall is spring. Spring is fall. Like my Grandpa Howard used to say: that guy doesn’t know if he’s foot or horseback. I am sure that many college football programs around the country have felt that same way throughout 2020. But, the good news it’s almost over and hopefully, some sense of order will be

A Pair of Patriots Join The Nest

Posted on November 24, 2020 by 2 Comments

It’s not often that a college program gets commitments from teammates in the same class. It’s even more rare when they commit on back-to-back days. Bubba Schweigert added two state champions to the 2021 recruiting class this week when offensive lineman Hunter Harvey and tight end Noah Schaffner committed to UND. Both are coming in

Memorial Stadium, the long time home of UND Football (and I mean LONG TIME), is slated to get a new life and for anybody associated with the program, past or present, this is excellent news. The old boy was starting to fall apart about 20+ years ago and it got to the point where something

The Fighting Hawks are officially back on the practice field in full gear. This time it’s under the umbrella of “Fall Ball”.

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

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

In a bit of a surprise, UND decided to add a quarterback to the 2020 roster on Wednesday.

Postler, 6’5″-210, is originally from Iowa and played his prep ball at Clear Creek Amana High School.

Sioux Falls Product Chooses UND

UND doesn’t get a lot of commitments from the state of South Dakota.

The 10+ year drought ended
