On Aug. 7, 2020, Drake University announced via email that the football team would not be competing in the Fall 2020 season, disappointing players, coaches and Drake fans alike.
“The logistical challenges with team travel, as well as properly adhering to campus, local or state requirements created an insurmountable hurdle for the Pioneer Football League this fall,” Drake Athletic Director Brian Harden said.
Hardin said he sends good thoughts toward all involved with the football program, including seniors and fifth-year seniors.
Chris Evans, an offensive tackle for the team, is one of those fifth-year seniors.
