Born in 1904 in Stephenville, Texas, Tarleton State Texans football has grown from a small-college upstart into a true FCS presence. The Texans piled up multiple Lone Star Conference championships, including back-to-back titles in 2018 and 2019, then carried that edge into Division I as part of the United Athletic Conference, continuing to raise the program’s profile.

Guided by longtime head coach Todd Whitten, Tarleton has produced standouts like NFL linebacker E.J. Speed and record-setting receiver Zimari Manning. Annual regional showdowns with Midwestern State and Texas A&M-Commerce still juice the schedule and the fanbase. Home Saturdays at Memorial Stadium are electric: the Purple Poo and Tarleton Plowboys ignite a loud student section, tailgates buzz around the venue, and the Texan Rider waves the flag after big plays. It all adds up to fast, physical football and a game-day atmosphere that feels unmistakably Texan.
