Monmouth quarterback Derek Robertson has one thing on his mind for the 2025 football season: winning games.

A.J. Pena was not planning on finishing out his college career as a Rhode Island Ram. After helping Rhode Island Football to a program-record 11 wins at linebacker and being named a First-Team AP All-American, he hit the transfer portal, landing with the Memphis Tigers.

The New Hampshire Wildcats ended at No. 24 in the FCS with a 8-5 overall, 6-2 conference record, and could very well see a repeat if incoming quarterback Matt Vezza rises to the ocassion in wake of quarterback Seth Morgan's departure.

The UAlbany Great Danes finished at 4-8 overall and 2-6 in conference play in 2024 after over a decade under head coach Greg Gattuso, who had just brought the squad to a 11-4 record in 2023. Gattuso has since exited the program and put it in the hands of interim head coach and former associate head coach Jared Ambrose ahead of a daunting 2025 season.

The Towson Tigers completed its most successful season in six years in 2024, and now hope to have another historical run in 2025. The Tigers finished at 7-5 overall and 5-2 in conference play, their best finish since 2019, led by quarterback Sean Brown.

The Stony Brook Seawolves dug themselves out of a winless season in 2023 into a 8-4 overall record in 2024, but are now without the quarterback that made it all possible in just one year.

With alumni that include Walter Payton Award winners Joe Flacco and John Robertson, and such noteworthy recent stars as Reese Poffenbarger, Max Brosmer, and Hajj-Malik Williams, Coastal Athletic Association football has a long-running standard of excellent quarterback play.

The Rhode Island Rams are leaving a 11-3 overall, 7-1 conference record in 2024 and look to do it all over again with the return of their best performing quarterback and wide receiver duo, Devin Ferrell and Marquis Buchanan.

The Villanova Wildcats had a stunning 2024 season and recorded their second consecutive with 10 wins. They outscored their opponents by a combined 60 points over 14 games and went on to compete through the second round of the FCS Playoffs.

Things are looking uncertain for the New Hampshire Wildcats heading into the 2025 season, but there is plenty of room for a young quarterback to rise up and lead his team to another winning season.

In his final year as head coach for UAlbany, Greg Gattuso may not have left off on the best season. The Great Danes finished at 4-8 overall and 2-6 in conference play after over a decade under Gattuso's guidance, a dramatic turn from the squad's 11-4 record in 2023.

William & Mary has not compared in recent years to its break through season in 2022 when the Tribe went 11-2 overall and reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA D1 Playoffs. The Tribe put up a 7-5 record in 2024 and finished it out on a less-than-ideal note with a complete shutout from Richmond in the Capital Cup.

The Rhode Island Rams impressed in 2024 and hope to have a repeat this season with the return of their best performing quarterback and wide receiver duo, Devin Ferrell and Marquis Buchanan.

The Campbell Fighting Camels are looking to improve on a 3-9 season from 2024, and with a hoard of transfer portal additions and recruits to add to the talent of their established veterans.

The Towson Tigers have been steadily making their way up in the CAA conference, having their most successful season in 2024 since 2019.
