MARIST RED FOXES FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Marist University's football program operates from Poughkeepsie, New York, where the Red Foxes compete in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference at the FCS level with a 100-player roster under head coach Mike Willis. Founded in 1929, the institution serves 6,356 students and has maintained football as part of its athletics portfolio throughout significant transitions in the sport. Willis leads a program that balances competitive FCS football against the academic mission of a mid-sized Jesuit university in the Hudson Valley.
The Red Foxes represent one of the MAAC's football representatives, competing in a conference known for its academic rigor and regional focus across the Northeast. Marist's fall schedule places the program among institutions like Holy Cross, Fordham, and Georgetown that prioritize both athletic excellence and substantive undergraduate education. With 100 athletes on its roster, the program develops talent within the constraints of a smaller school environment where players typically carry significant academic responsibilities alongside their football commitments.
