MAINE BLACK BEARS FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
University of Maine's football program represents one of New England's longest-standing athletic traditions, with the Black Bears competing at the FCS level since transitioning from Division II. Located in Orono, Maine, the program serves a student-athlete population within the university's 10,878-student enrollment and fields a 95-player roster competing in the America East Conference during the fall season. Coach Jordan Stevens leads the Black Bears in their ongoing effort to build competitiveness within a conference that emphasizes regional rivalry and FCS-level competition.
The Black Bears operate from a well-established athletic foundation, with the university itself founded in 1865 as the state's flagship institution. Maine football's conference affiliation in the America East places the program alongside other regional competitors seeking FCS recognition and playoff opportunities. Stevens' tenure has focused on developing roster depth and competitive consistency, with the 95-player squad representing a typical FCS program size that balances scholarship limitations with competitive demands at the lower subdivision level.
