Hi folks! I'm a junior trying to look for colleges where I can potentially walk-on for football. Does anyone know which HBCUs are Division 1 football schools? I'm really hoping to find a school with a strong football culture and community.
Hey there! It's fantastic to see your interest in joining a strong football community. For HBCUs with Division 1 football programs, most of them participate in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) or the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). Some notable HBCUs with D1 football teams include Howard University, North Carolina A&T State University, and Florida A&M University. These schools have great football cultures and are known for the community spirit at their games. Before you make any decisions, I recommend reaching out to the football coaches at these schools to discuss walk-on opportunities and visiting the campuses to get a feel for the environment. Best of luck in finding the right fit for you!
