Concordia Football returned to a fairly normal spring practice season this April. Storylines have included the return of Lane Napier, a welcome back to campus for 'G' and the progress of Wyatt Ehlers.
The 2021 Concordia University Football schedule is set. The 11-game regular-season slate will feature six home games, a season opener at Morningside and a nonconference clash with Mayville State.
As of National Signing Day, Head Coach Patrick Daberkow and his staff have secured the pledges of 36 recruits for the class of 2021. The group includes 23 native Nebraskans.
Lane Napier has gone 4-for-4 in terms of landing first team All-GPAC awards. He was joined with all-conference honors by eight teammates, including four fellow first-teamers.
Particularly on the offensive side of the ball, Concordia made strides in a 2020 season that began with four-straight wins. Coach Daberkow took pride in this team for more than just on-field performance.
In a season capping defeat, senior linebacker Lane Napier moved past 400 career tackles. Cayden Beran and Jonah Weyand both found the end zone in the 28-17 loss at Dakota Wesleyan.
In the 2020 finale, the Bulldogs hope to end a current three-game skid and also extend a three-game series win streak over Dakota Wesleyan. This will be the 21st all-time meeting.
The Concordia-Midland football game originally scheduled to be played on Nov. 14 has now been canceled. The contest will not be made up. The Bulldogs will finish their season at DWU on Saturday.
The Concordia football game scheduled to be played at Midland on Saturday (Nov. 14) has been postponed. The two sides will make a decision next week about a potential makeup date.
The Bulldogs hope to get back into the win column on Saturday at Midland when the two programs will go head-to-head for the 66th time. State bragging rights will be on the line.
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.
