The 2024 season opener inside Bulldog Stadium will serve as Waldorf's welcome to the GPAC. The Bulldogs and Warriors are set to meet on the gridiron for the first time ever. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. on Saturday.
The time is now for a Concordia Football team loaded with experience. A passing game spurred by DJ McGarvie and Austin Jablonski and a defense with strength up front provide confidence that 2024 could turn into a season of postseason contention.
Returning First Team All-GPAC performers Austin Jablonski and Kyle Sterup earned recognition on Aug. 14 while being named to Victory Sports Network's 2024 NAIA preseason watchlist.
In the league's preseason poll released on Aug. 7, Concordia Football slotted in at No. 5. The Bulldogs return 18 starters from a 2023 team that finished at 5-5 and tied for fourth in the GPAC.
Behind the scenes, Sterup has earned about as much respect as anyone within the Concordia Football locker room. His play on the football field speaks volumes – and so too do his actions off of it.
The 'talking season' got underway on July 15 as Head Coach Patrick Daberkow and three Bulldogs met the media. Inside the locker room, expectations are that Concordia will enjoy a breakthrough in 2024.
Back in the fall, Maddox Rickertsen saw his world turned upside down when doctors discovered an egg-sized tumor in his colon. Months later, Rickertsen's outlook has changed as he gears up for football season.
There's a veteran feel to a Concordia Football team that believes the time is now. The Bulldogs bring back a record-breaking quarterback for what projects to be an explosive offense. Concordia expects the defense to make a leap forward.
The countdown to the 2024 opening kickoff is on. Concordia Football is slated to open the '24 campaign underneath the Bulldog Stadium lights against new GPAC member Waldorf on Aug. 31.

When operating at peak levels, the 2023 Concordia Football team showed a flair for offensive fireworks. Led by DJ McGarvie, the Bulldogs set another new offensive standard before completing the season at 5-5.
The unassuming DJ McGarvie tends to shy from the spotlight, but attention is unavoidable for the standard-setting quarterback. McGarvie isn't just breaking Concordia's passing records, he's crushing them.
Whether situated in his home of Arlington, Texas, or otherwise, Rod Giesselmann '71 feels the "oneness" of Concordia. It's that special togetherness that lifted the 1970 Bulldogs to great heights and set Giesselmann up for success.
