Founded in 1916 in Commerce, Texas, the East Texas A&M Lions have built a reputation for punch-above-their-weight football. The program claims the 1972 NAIA national championship and the 2017 NCAA Division II crown, along with a long line of Lone Star Conference titles and a 1953 Tangerine Bowl victory. That competitive edge carried through eras, from East Texas State to today, shaping a tradition that consistently produces big-game moments.

Icons dot the timeline, including legendary head coach Ernest Hawkins and Dallas Cowboys great Harvey Martin, with quarterback Wade Wilson among other standouts. Saturdays at Ernest Hawkins Field at Memorial Stadium are all about energy, with The Pride Marching Band, a rowdy student section, and friendly, food-forward tailgates fueling the buzz. Whether it is a showdown with Texas A&M-Kingsville or Tarleton State, the roar in Commerce feels unmistakably Lions.
