AKRON ZIPS FOOTBALL

Mid-American ConferenceD1-FBSfall

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Joe Moorhead took over the Akron football program in 2023, inheriting a Mid-American Conference squad that competes at the FBS level from Akron, Ohio. The University of Akron itself, founded in 1870, enrolls 15,318 students and supports its football roster of 100 players competing in the fall season. Moorhead's arrival marked a significant leadership transition for a program operating within one of college football's most competitive mid-tier conferences.

Competing in the MAC places Akron among 12 institutions vying for conference supremacy and bowl eligibility each season. The program operates from its home venue in Akron, where it draws from the surrounding northeast Ohio region. With a century-plus institutional history dating back to 1870, the Zips maintain their place in collegiate athletics as a resource for student-athletes pursuing both athletic and academic development at the Division I level.
