SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE REDHAWKS FOOTBALL

Ohio Valley ConferenceD1-FCSfall

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Southeast Missouri State operates one of the smaller FCS programs with a 100-player roster competing in the Ohio Valley Conference. The university, established in 1873, fields its football team from a student body of 9,677 across campus. Under head coach Tom Matukewicz's leadership, the Redhawks compete in the fall season at their home venue, representing a program navigating the competitive landscape of FCS football with limited resources compared to Football Bowl Subdivision counterparts.

SEMO's football operation reflects the realities of mid-tier FCS athletics, where recruiting depth and scholarship limitations require careful roster management with just 100 scholarship athletes across all positions. The program's participation in the Ohio Valley Conference places it alongside other regional competitors operating at similar resource levels. Matukewicz's tenure involves building sustainable football operations within the constraints of a university enrollment of under 10,000 students and the financial structure typical of OVC institutions.
