“How is recruiting going?” is the most frequently asked question of the Falcon football coaching staff. In response, this site has been created as a way of saying thanks to our alumni, fans, and friends for their continuing interest in Falcon football.
In compliance with NCAA rules governing Div. III athletics, the names listed below have been (1) admitted to UW–River Falls and they have (2) paid their enrollment fee, thus allowing us to make their intentions known to the general public.
The Falcons will open their season on Sept. 5 when they host St. John's at 1 p.m., at Ramer Field. The annual Homecoming Game is set for Sept. 26 when the Falcons host Alma at 1 p.m. UWRF opens WIAC play on Oct. 3 at UW-Stout. The Hall of Fame Game will be Oct. 17 when the Falcons host UW-La Crosse at 1 p.m.
