Delta State Football met an unfortunate fate in 2024 in the wake of a 2023 season that saw a NCAA DII Playoffs berth. The Statesmen shifted from a 10-2 overall record to 6-4 in 2024 along with the team’s quarterbacks.

The Western Oregon Wolves are looking to make a splash in the Lone Star Conference in 2025 after all six of their wins came in conference play, leading to a 6-5, 6-3 season.

The Delta State Statesmen are heading into their 13th year under head coach Todd Cooley, who seemed to have found his rhythm with his 2022-2023 class, but lost it last season.

The Central Washington Wildcats are looking to win the Lone Star Conference in 2025 after going 8-4 in 2024 and barely missing out on the championship.

Armed with several veterans, the Central Washington Wildcats look to be a favorite to win the Lone Star Conference in 2025 after falling just short last season. Led by head coach Chris Fisk, who is going into his seventh season as head coach, Central Washington has all of the keys for success and tools to win games not just in conference play, but in the NCAA DII Playoffs.
