SOU Sports Information

Coming off an 8-3 season, the Southern Oregon University football team will offer a glimpse of the 2025 squad with its annual spring game at 2 p.m. Saturday at Raider Stadium.

Admission is free for all fans. The tailgate area will open at 11:30 a.m. at a cost of $20 per spot to be paid upon entry. The game will feature an offense-versus-defense format, including situational play and an open scrimmage, as well as a field goal challenge.

The Raiders return the Frontier Conference Offensive MVP, running back Gunner Yates, along with four All-FC performers on defense.

They fell just short of a spot in the NAIA Championship Series last fall, going 5-3 in Frontier play to finish in fourth place. They were ranked in the postseason Top 25 coaches’ poll for the first time in seven years at No. 24.

AFCA-NAIA regional coach of the year Berk Brown, entering his third season, announced a 40-person recruiting class in February.
