HOWARD BISON FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Larry Scott's Howard Bison compete as a Football Championship Subdivision program within the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, representing an institution founded in 1867 with a current enrollment of 12,941 students in Washington, DC. The program fields a 100-player roster that competes during the fall season at their home venue, maintaining their presence in FCS-level competition where they contest against regional opponents throughout the MEAC schedule. Howard's football operations serve the broader university mission while engaging the DC metropolitan community through their conference commitments and campus athletic infrastructure.

Scott oversees a program competing within one of Division I's regional conferences, where Howard's football team participates in the traditional fall schedule alongside other MEAC institutions. The program draws from the university's student body to build its roster and represents Howard's ongoing investment in collegiate athletics at the FCS level.
