HCU’s first football team was fielded in 2013 for a seven game developmental season. The Huskies finished 2013 with a 3–4 record. Since the 2013 games were played during a developmental season, records and statistics are considered unofficial. The team played most of its 2013 home games at
Strake Jesuit’s Crusader Stadium in
Houston, Texas, and one home game at
BBVA Compass Stadium. September 6, 2014 marked two firsts: The Huskies played their first game as an FCS team, and the game against
McMurry University also marked the first game played in
Husky Stadium, the new on-campus stadium. On September 21, 2019, HCU junior wide receiver Ben Ratzlaff hit junior half-back Coleman Robinson for a two-point conversion after the Huskies scored with 1:14 remaining to rally past South Dakota, 53–52, in a non-conference FCS matchup in the
DakotaDome. This marked the biggest win in school history pushing HCU to be nationally ranked for the first time in school history sitting tied at 25th in the coaches' poll. December 13, 2022 marked a new era began on campus. HCU named
Braxton Harris as the second head football coach in the school's history, as announced by President Robert Sloan and director of athletics Steve Moniaci at a campus press conference. The Huskies were previously coached by
Vic Shealy. ==Head coaches==
