Born in 1901 in DeLand, Florida, Stetson Hatters football blends history with fresh energy. After a long hiatus, the program returned in 2013 and now competes in the FCS’s Pioneer Football League, carving out its identity with smart, fast-paced play and a campus-first game-day feel.

Stetson made Florida gridiron history by winning the state’s first intercollegiate game in 1901, and more recently produced FCS All-American and NFL linebacker Donald Payne. Head coach Roger Hughes led the program’s return and helped lay the modern foundation, and the Hatters keep building. Saturdays at Spec Martin Stadium are intimate and loud, with tailgates ringing the neighborhood venue, the band setting the tempo, and students packed tight along the rails. Fans tip their hats for big moments, and visiting teams quickly learn how DeLand’s close-to-the-action sightlines amplify every third-down roar.
