The Big Sky Conference held their annual media day event this past Sunday/Monday. Along with the media days activities come the Preseason Polls and All-Conference Teams. UND is not an official member of the Big Sky once again this season, thus they were not included in the polls and their players were not included in…
Each year there are typically 12-15 players that fall into the “FCS-Level Player” category in the state of North Dakota. Some years more than others but typically around that area. This year, however, UND has seemed to notice something early on with this 2020 class because they jumped in once again on Wednesday, securing the…
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…
The ever-growing list of commitments to the UND Football program has now ballooned to 13 in recent days. CB Sam Robertson of Wayzata High School (MN) committed to the Hawks on June 25. Robertson, 6’1″-175, is the first cornerback in this class but we fully expect them to add several more. UND is losing senior…
We can safely call June 24th an unprecedented day in UND football recruiting history. Bubba Schweigert and company hauled in SIX more commitments yesterday to up their 2020 class total to eleven. This is by far the most commits they have had by the July 4th summer break. We will have more in the future…
The early returns may be limited but they are definitely positive for new OL coach Joe Pawlak. UND already has four commitments to the Class of 2020 and three of them are offensive lineman with the latest one coming from OL Andrew Fenton of Menomonie, WI. Fenton stands 6’3″-260 and played mostly right tackle for…
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…
Getting a commitment in early June could be termed as ‘unique’ for the UND Football program. That being said, times are changing in the recruiting world and commitments like the one Bubba Schweigert received yesterday (June 4th) may be more common as the years go on. Standout TE/WR Elijah Klein of Mandan High School decided…
Recruiting is a year-round venture these days for college football coaches and the most crucial time period of that cycle is currently underway. The recruiting camp season has kicked in full-gear around the country and the UND staff currently is spread out around the upper midwest evaluating prospects. We have compiled a list of camps…
We knew there would be a change of scenery in the backfield come 2019. We just didn’t know it would still be evolving two months before fall camp. In a twitter post last night, running back Dalton Gee of Butte College announced his commitment to the Fighting Hawks for the 2019 season. Beyond blessed and…
