Founded in 1889 in Vermillion, South Dakota, the Coyotes football program anchors the University of South Dakota’s proud athletics tradition. From early success and multiple North Central Conference championships to modern FCS playoff runs, South Dakota keeps raising the bar. Fans still talk about the program’s first FCS playoff win in 2017 and the momentum that followed across the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

Game days inside the DakotaDome are uniquely loud, with the roof trapping sound and the Coyote Crazies turning third downs electric. Tailgates ring the Dome and campus, the band fires up Hail South Dakota, and the Go Yotes chant rolls end to end. Standouts like quarterback Chris Streveler and NFL lineman Tom Compton embody the program’s edge. The annual showdown with South Dakota State adds a can’t-miss chapter every fall.
