Overview
The Portland State Vikings bring Big Sky football to the Portland metro area, a program built from humble beginnings into a scrappy, pass-happy FCS mainstay. Representing a university founded to serve returning WWII veterans, the Vikings carry a blue-collar, underdog spirit into every Saturday.
History & Legacy
Portland State's football program traces back to 1947, when it began as a club team at the Vanport Extension Center under coach Joe Holland. The program has grown alongside the university, which gained full university status in 1969, and today competes in the Big Sky Conference at the FCS level.
