Schreiner University football

Hardin-Simmons University and the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor both earned spots in the 2026 D3football.com Preseason Top 25 poll, released July 20.

“Our defense did an outstanding job of dominating the game,” Schreiner head coach Keith Allen said. “We were able to get five takeaways, a defensive touchdown and a safety—all while shutting them out.”
