St. Thomas Adds Road Game at NCAA D-II Northern Michigan

The St. Thomas Tommies (PFL) announced their 2025 football schedule. The Tommies went 6-6 overall and 5-3 in the PFL during the 2024 season. The 2025 season will begin at home against Lindenwood (OVC-Big South) on Thursday, August 28, followed by a trip to Idaho (Big Sky) on Saturday, September 6.

The Tommies will then travel to the NCAA Division II Northern Michigan Wildcats on Saturday, September 13. The Wildcats are a member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) located in Marquette, Michigan. St. Thomas and Northern Michigan haven’t met in football before.

Currently, St. Thomas is the only FCS school scheduled to play a non-Division I opponent on the road during the 2025 campaign out of the 53 FCS versus non-DI matchups. In 2024, there were two games in which FCS teams traveled to play a Division II opponent: Mercyhurst at Wheeling on August 29 and Presbyterian at Erskine on September 7.

The Tommies will have a bye week on September 20 and start Pioneer Football League play with a third straight road trip on Saturday, September 27 at San Diego. St. Thomas will then have a home game against Butler on October 4, a trip to Davidson on October 11, a home game versus Valparaiso on October 18, and another trip to Stetson on October 25.

November will begin with a home game against Marist on November 1 followed by a relatively short trip to Drake on November 8. The final PFL game will take place on Saturday, November 15 at home versus Presbyterian. The Tommies will wrap up the regular season on Saturday, November 22 with a game at the defending FCS champions, North Dakota State (MVFC).
