Twelve representatives from the Concordia University football program have been named 2015 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athletes, as announced by the NAIA on Friday.
The NAIA has announced junior Trey Barnes as a 2015 American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) second team All-American.
More than any other game, the late-season loss to then second-ranked Morningside proved Concordia football can compete on a national scale.
Named an Academic All-District selection on Nov. 6, Concordia University junior Hallick Lehmann has been elevated to College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America® College Division Football Team, as announced on Monday.
ix Concordia University football players claimed spots on the GPAC’s first team with all-conference selections released by the league on Tuesday. No other Concordia football team had ever had more than four first team all-GPAC award winners.
Concordia football senior Clint Gardels has been named the Hauff Mid America Sports/ GPAC Defensive Player of the week announced by the league office on Monday.
Senior defensive lineman Clint Gardels enjoyed a career performance in his final game as a Bulldog in leading a Concordia University football team that continued its series dominance of visiting Briar Cliff on Saturday afternoon. On a day when the program recognized its 18 seniors, the Bulldogs punished the Chargers, 48-0, in the season finale for both teams.
Concordia will attempt to shake a three-game losing streak as it welcomes Briar Cliff to Seward for senior day. Saturday’s kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. from Bulldog Stadium. A total of 18 seniors will be recognized in a ceremony scheduled to start roughly 25 minutes prior to kickoff.
Despite limiting 18th-ranked Dakota Wesleyan to just 158 total yards of offense, the Concordia University football team fell, 17-10, in Mitchell, S.D., on Saturday afternoon. The Bulldogs had more than a two-to-one edge in total yards, but could not overcome six turnovers.
A pair of Concordia University football student-athletes received recognition on Thursday for their performances both in the classroom and on the playing field. Senior kicker Adam Meirose and junior offensive tackle Hallick Lehmann earned Academic All-District 3 honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Every great athlete has a signature performance, that moment in time when people remember where they were as it unfolded. Fans in attendance at Bulldog Stadium on Nov. 17, 2001, surely recall the most unforgettable play ever made by then senior tight end Ross Wurdeman.
Budding running back Bryce Collins noticed the great success achieved by other Concordia athletic teams during the 2014-15 academic year. He wants a piece of it.
