THE INCARNATE WORD CARDINALS FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Located in San Antonio, Texas, Incarnate Word operates one of the newer Division I-FCS programs, having established its football team more recently than many peers in the Southland Conference. The University of the Incarnate Word itself traces back to 1881, serving a current student body of 9,188 across its campus. Under head coach Clint Killough, the Cardinals field a 100-player roster competing in the fall season within the Southland Conference framework.
Killough's program operates from its home venue in San Antonio, where the Cardinals build their conference identity. As a member of the Southland Conference, Incarnate Word competes alongside established FCS programs that have decades of Division I history. The relatively smaller roster size of 100 players reflects the resource allocation typical of programs in their conference tier, requiring efficiency in player development and scheme execution.
The Cardinals represent UIW's commitment to expanding its athletic profile beyond the institution's 142-year history of academic operations. Building a competitive FCS program in San Antonio places Incarnate Word in a unique regional market, competing for attention alongside other Texas football programs while establishing their own distinct identity within the Southland Conference's competitive landscape.
