The University of Indianapolis football program has entered the 2026 season with a preseason spotlight, landing at No. 8 in the Lindy’s Sports Division II poll. The ranking places the Greyhounds among the elite four Super Region 3 schools in the top ten, underscoring the program’s rapid ascent.
A Historic Turnaround
Building on a breakout 2025 campaign that delivered a school‑record 11 wins, the Greyhounds return with 11 starters and eight all‑conference performers still in the fold. The team swept the GLVC schedule, highlighted by a dominant 57‑14 opening‑round playoff win over rival Truman, and secured a home‑field advantage for the second round before falling to nationally ranked Minnesota State, 35‑27.
Looking Ahead
Coach Dan McDonough and his staff have crafted a game plan that leans on the experience of returning veterans while integrating fresh talent. With a fourth consecutive playoff appearance on the horizon, the Greyhounds are poised to translate preseason optimism into another strong showing on the national stage.
