Upper Iowa football is preparing for their third season in the Great Lakes Valley Conference this summer with fall camp opening in early August. The Peacocks posted a dominant 51-7 win over Missouri S&T to conclude their 2024 campaign with an overall mark of 7-4 (6-2 GLVC). The win marked the program's first seven-win season since 1997. Additionally, this was the team's first time scoring 50 points in a game since 2017, when they trumped UMary 58-14. After finishing the season tied with Truman State for second place, the Great Lakes Valley Conference named 16 Peacocks to the All-GLVC Team including one to the first team, nine to the second team and six earning honorable mention honors.
The program wrapped up its 131st year on the Fayette campus this past fall with one of the most successful runs and a second-place finish in its second season of games in the Great Lakes Valley Conference and 20th as a member of NCAA Division II.
Upper Iowa opens their 2025 season against NCAA Division I Drake University in Des Moines on Thursday, Aug. 28 before hosting South Dakota Mines in the team's home opener on Saturday, Sept. 13.
