The university will recognize the 1971 football squad, which finished unbeaten with a 7‑1 record and a No. 1 national ranking, alongside standout players and coach.

Saint Francis University’s football program is moving to Division III, entering the Presidents’ Athletic Conference with an eight‑game schedule in 2026. Coach Chris Villarrial, a two‑time conference champion, outlined the slate of opponents, including Grove City, Hiram, Case Western Reserve, St. Vincent, Bethany College and Washington & Jefferson, while emphasizing the team’s commitment to building on its winning tradition despite postseason ineligibility.

The Red Wolves will open an eight‑game schedule in the PAC this fall, facing longtime rivals and new opponents while navigating the transition to Division III.
