Howard enters the season looking to lay the foundation for a bright future under Coach Scott's leadership.
Before the season, six Bison were selected to the 2021 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Preseason All-Conference Team.
Scott inherited a group of underclassmen who saw a lot of playing time and bring a ton of experience during a turbulent 2019 campaign. Rodney Dennard and Ray Williams landed on the Preseason All-MEAC team after combining for 101 tackles in 2019. In addition, Quinton Williams saw action in eight games as a true freshman, starting seven on the offensive side; he threw for 942 yards and eight touchdowns.
MATCHUP PREVIEW
Head Coach Russ Huesman is in his fifth season as head coach of the University of Richmond football program. Richmond has won 15-straight home openers dating back to 2005.
