HOUSTON CHRISTIAN HUSKIES FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Located in Houston, Texas, Houston Christian University fields a Football Championship Subdivision program that competes in the Southland Conference during the fall season. The Huskies, representing a private institution founded in 1960 with 4,693 students, operate a 100-player roster under head coach Jason Bachtel. Houston Christian's football program reflects the university's broader commitment to NCAA Division I athletics despite the institution's relatively modest enrollment compared to many regional peers.
Coach Bachtel directs a Huskies program navigating the competitive Southland Conference, which includes programs from across Louisiana, Texas, and neighboring states. With a century-old university foundation and an FCS classification that places Houston Christian among the second tier of college football, the program serves student-athletes from the greater Houston metropolitan area. The team competes at home within the city that hosts multiple Power Four institutions, creating a challenging recruiting and visibility landscape for an FCS-level Southland Conference member. Houston Christian's football operation maintains full Division I compliance while balancing the resource constraints typical of non-Power Four conference membership.
