Even though the season is underway, recruiting never stops in the world of college football. This proved true again as UND received a commitment from Kason Kelley of Millard North High School on Tuesday. Kelley, 6’2″-220, is projected as an inside linebacker at the collegiate level.

Hawks Fall to Bison

Posted on September 9, 2019 by 9 Comments

Coming into the game we hoped the gap had closed a bit more since 2015. However, we’re not sure that’s the case after Saturday. The offense looked much better than last time UND visited the Fargodome but the defense didn’t play nearly as well. The combination of those two things led to a 38-7 win

Hawks Roll Drake In Season Opener

The UND faithful left the Alerus Center with a familiar feeling on Saturday. We have longed for the days of blowing out inferior opponents and we got just that vs. Drake. Even though the Hawks offense got off to a less than ideal start in the first half (12 points), the defense played lights out

Game Week! The long summer abyss is over and it’s time to get back into the Alerus Center for some Hawks football. This season is a bit different as UND does not play an FBS program but instead plays three FCS non-conference games. The first of which is the Drake Bulldogs this Saturday – 4pm

UND Corrals Wide Receiver From Oklahoma

Posted on July 10, 2019 by

The Hawks don’t typically venture too far south when it comes to recruiting – especially in June/July. However, when a playmaker like Jack Wright pops up on your radar you make an exception. Wright, a 5’11-175 wide receiver dynamo out of Regent Prep School in Tulsa, OK, committed to Coach Bubba Schweigert on Tuesday after

Hawks Snatch A Duo Of Offensive Lineman

Posted on June 14, 2019 by 1 Comment

If there is one position group that’s vital to success in the sport of football it’s the offensive line. The best teams typically have a solid-to-dominant offensive line. UND is undoubtedly aware of that based on their most recent commitments. On June 6th the Hawks got their first offensive line commit in Waconia, MN product
