CARROLLTON, Ga. - After finishing the 2021 season in the second round of the NCAA Playoffs and among the top-15 nationally, head coach David Dean and the UWG Football program have received high honors from the preseason D2Football.com media Top-25 poll. The Wolves were ranked 10th in the annual poll, cracking the top-10 in a national preseason poll for the first time since 2017. 

The Wolves completed the final full preseason scrimmage on Saturday morning and are headlong into the regular season with Carson-Newman looming in the 2022 season opener on Thursday, September 1. This marks the second consecutive season that the Wolves and the Eagles will open the season on a Thursday. West Georgia won the opener last season in Jefferson City, Tennessee by a 45-7 score, the first of nine wins on the year.
