oldgrappler Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (Post 1 of 2) I have taken a sudden interest in NAIA football. Several NKY and KY 2019 graduates are going to be freshman players for their NAIA football teams. Many of these schools live stream their games. You can find out by going to their web site and looking at the schedule the week of the game you want to watch. Or, you may want to see if there is a game near you. They play on Saturdays. I watched a fair number of D2, NAIA, and D1-AA football games last fall and saw a lot of good athletes and some pretty good football. I will be watching a lot more of it this fall. In the next post I will provide a list of 2019 graduates whom I know are playing NAIA football this fall. I do not pretend to 100% accuracy so make changes if necessary and pleased add others that I do not have. I got my information from the BGP thread “Class of 2019 College Signings”: http://bluegrasspreps.com/ky-football-high/class-of-2019-376340.html Here’s the 2019 NAIA Football Coaches’ Preseason Top 25 RANK PREVIOUS SCHOOL RECORD FINAL POINTS 1 1 Morningside (Iowa) [16] 15-0 366 2 2 Benedictine (Kan.) 13-2 352 3 2 Saint Francis (Ind.) 10-3 338 4 4 Kansas Wesleyan 13-1 307 5 7 Saint Xavier (Ill.) 9-4 300 6 6 Concordia (Mich.) 10-3 280 7 9 Marian (Ind.) 10-1 278 8 5 Baker (Kan.) 9-3 268 9 8 Dickinson State (N.D.) 9-3 230 10 11 Reinhardt (Ga.) 9-2 224 11 12 Northwestern (Iowa) 9-2 214 12 15 Grand View (Iowa) 8-3 185 13 18 Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) 7-3 182 14 14 Langston (Okla.) 9-2 171 15 22 College of Idaho 6-5 164 16 12 Bethel (Tenn.) 10-2 161 17 10 Cumberlands (Ky.) 10-1 157 18 17 Evangel (Mo.) 9-2 136 19 21 Southeastern (Fla.) 7-3 88 20 NR Southern Oregon 6-4 82 21 19 Georgetown (Ky.) 7-3 78 22 20 Ottawa (Kan.) 8-2 70 23 16 Rocky Mountain (Mont.) 8-4 66 24 23 Dordt (Iowa) 7-3 32 25 NR Montana Western 6-4 27 Others Receiving Votes: Siena Heights (Mich.) 25, Cumberland (Tenn.) 22, William Penn (Iowa) 20, Eastern Oregon 18, Montana Tech 9, Ottawa (Ariz.) 9, Arizona Christian 6, Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) 5, Ave Maria (Fla.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
