Founded in 1924, the Harding Bisons call Searcy, Arkansas, home. The Bisons surged onto the national stage with a perfect 15-0 run to the 2023 NCAA Division II title, powered by a relentless flexbone rushing attack that topped 6,000 yards. Along the way, Harding has stacked multiple Great American Conference crowns, including 2016, 2021 and 2023. Standouts like career rushing king Cole Chancey and head coach Paul Simmons, a national Coach of the Year, embody the program's tough, disciplined identity.

Game days at First Security Stadium feel like a community reunion. TailgateHU fills campus with smoke and music, the Bison Boom student section keeps chants rolling, and Buff the Bison works the rails. Fans line up for the Brotherhood Walk to welcome the team, then settle in for hard-hitting GAC showdowns with Ouachita Baptist and Henderson State. It is passionate, family friendly and built for unforgettable fall Saturdays.
