PFL Notes

• Ten of the league's teams will be in action during Week 2 with only Drake taking the week off. Three games are against ranked FCS foes with St. Thomas and Morehead State on the road while San Diego is at home. Marist, Presbyterian, and Stetson also have FCS opponents slated for Week 2 action.
• The PFL went 6-5 during the opening weekend, highlighted by Presbyterian's victory at then-No. 11 Mercer. Marist and St. Thomas also picked up home victories against FCS opponents last week while Drake and Morehead State defeated Division II opponents and Valparaiso opened its home slate with a win.
• Presbyterian's victory against nationally-ranked Mercer was the PFL's first win against a ranked FCS opponent since 2018 when Butler defeated Youngstown State to begin the season. It was the PFL's fourth win against a ranked team since 2010.
• Out of the league's five new head coaches, it was Drake's Joe Woodley and Valparaiso's Andy Waddle who were first in the win column. Woodley and the Bulldogs took down Upper Iowa on Thursday followed two days later when Waddle and the Beacons defeated Virginia-Lynchburg.
• Following a vote by the NCAA Division I Board of Directors in June,  St. Thomas has officially completed the reclassification process, making it an active member of NCAA Division I and eligible to compete in NCAA championships. The Tommies will compete for the PFL automatic bid to the FCS Playoffs for the first time this season.
• Davidson senior running back Mari Adams and Drake senior linebacker Sean Allison are the PFL's representatives on the 2025 Walter Payton and Buck Buchanan Award Preseason Watch Lists, respectively. Drake senior long snapper Brett Welsing joined Adams on the 2025 Stats Perform FCS Preseason All-America Teams.
• Last season, PFL teams claimed four wins against their FCS scholarship counterparts. Butler (at Murray State), Dayton (vs. Saint Francis), Drake (at Eastern Washington), and San Diego (vs. Cal Poly). Those victories helped the league post its most wins against FCS nonconference teams since 2019.
• Ten PFL alumni are on NFL 53-man rosters before the start of the 2025 NFL season. In addition, PFL alumni were on Canadian Football League and the United Football League rosters during those leagues’ respective 2025 seasons. The complete list of PFL alumni in professional football is on page 11.
