The Houston Christian Huskies Football team, formerly known as the Houston Baptist Huskies until the 2021 season, is the intercollegiate American football team for Houston Christian University located in Houston, Texas, United States. The team currently competes in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) as a full member of the Southland Conference.

History

HCU’s first football team was fielded in 2013 for a seven game developmental season. The Huskies finished 2013 with a 3-4 record. Since the 2013 games were played during a developmental season, records and statistics are considered unofficial. The team played most of its 2013 home games at Strake Jesuit’s Crusader Stadium in Houston, Texas, and one home game at BBVA Compass Stadium.

September 6, 2014 marked two firsts: The Huskies played their first game as an FCS team, and the game against McMurry University also marked the first game played in Husky Stadium, the new on-campus stadium.

On September 21, 2019, HCU junior wide receiver Ben Ratzlaff hit junior H-back Coleman Robinson for a two-point conversion after the Huskies scored with 1:14 remaining to rally past South Dakota, 53-52, in a non-conference FCS matchup Saturday afternoon in the DakotaDome. This marked the biggest win in school history pushing HCU to be nationally ranked for the first time in school history sitting tied at 25th in the coaches' poll.

December 13, 2022 marked a new era began on campus. HCU named Braxton Harris as the second head football coach in the school's history, as announced by President Robert Sloan and director of athletics Steve Moniaci at a campus press conference. The Huskies were previously coached by Vic Shealy.

Houston Baptist University is home to the Houston Baptist Huskies football team. The team competes in the Southland Conference at the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision level. The Huskies have a strong tradition of excellence on the gridiron, with a dedicated fan base and a competitive spirit. The team is known for its high-powered offense and hard-hitting defense, making them a force to be reckoned with in the conference. With a talented roster of players and a passionate coaching staff, the Houston Baptist Huskies are always a team to watch out for on game day.
