Early Days and MAC Dominance:

Founded in 1894, the Bobcats boast a rich history, capturing five Mid-American Conference (MAC) championships before the 1970s.
Icons like Dave Green (NFL pioneer) and Al Benton (dominant offensive tackle) cemented the program's reputation for toughness and talent.
The Golden Age: Juenger, Mitchell, and Undisputed Crowns:

The 1970s and 1980s saw the Bobcats soar to new heights under the leadership of Coach Bill Hess and quarterback Dave Juenger, culminating in a perfect 1960 season and the program's lone national championship in the College Division (now FCS).

Defensive stalwarts like Mike Mitchell and Todd Snyder (explosive receiver) further solidified the Bobcats' dominance in the MAC.

Modern Era: Evolution and Transition to the FBS:

After a period of ups and downs, the Bobcats made the bold leap to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in 2014, facing stiffer competition and adapting to new rules.
Although challenges arose, the Bobcats' resilient spirit shone through, with players like Travis Carrie and Tarell Basham carrying the torch of Bobcat excellence to the NFL.

Beyond Wins: Developing Well-Rounded Champions:

The Bobcats prioritize more than just victories. They focus on academic success, community service, and developing well-rounded individuals who excel both on and off the field.

Their commitment to character development and community engagement makes them true ambassadors of the green and white.
