New coaches, almost half of the roster is brand new and after going 2-10, are the Eagles now truly able to compete in the ever evolving college landscape? BC took the first step in trying to answer all those questions on Tuesday morning when they stepped inside Fish Field House around 9:00…

Despite losing the Ivy League title in ‘The Game’ for the second straight year, Harvard still made history in 2025, making the FCS playoffs for the first time ever. Both the Crimson and Yale represented the Ivy League in the 24-team postseason, cementing what we’ve known around here for years now: it’s the most competitive league in all of FCS.

New Haven shocked a lot of people last season. Making the jump from D2 to D1 isn’t easy and usually includes quite a few growing pains and a whole bunch of losses. But, in 2025, that wasn’t the case for the Chargers. Mark Powell’s squad went 5-5 in a shortened inaugural season. Powell earned a permanent role as head coach due to the initial success, particularly the buy-in his players…
It’s still stunning that Lewis Bond didn’t get an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine, but Logan Taylor and Jude Bowry repped the Eagles and ‘O-Line U’ well in Indianapolis. The offensive linemen closed out the event with testing and on-field drills on Sunday.

FOXBOROUGH – During Saturday’s second day of the annual MHSFCA Coaches Clinic at Gillette Stadium, new Yale head coach Kevin Cahill was the keynote speaker during lunch.

No one is Tony Reno and he’s irreplaceable. But, Cahill was able…
FOXBOROUGH – For an hour on Friday night, Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea had a room full of football coaches hanging on every word. And it had nothing to do with Xs and O’s.

Vendors and high school and college coaches from around the country head to…
