Tuesday, March 4, 2025, is a day for everyone – alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents and friends of Western Oregon University – to #HowlfromtheHeart and build a brighter present and future for WOU.
Support the Wolves Football Program
The Western Oregon University Football team is beginning to settle into its new home in the Lone Star Conference. Under the leadership of head coach Arne Ferguson (Class of ‘91), who is entering his 20th season as head football coach, the Wolves are poised to make themselves known throughout the Lone Star Conference as a force to be reckoned with on Saturdays. Ferguson’s teams have a well-earned reputation for being tough defensively, well-prepared, and finishing plays. The Wolves recently announced a strong recruiting class of 27 players, many from Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, and the future for Wolves football is bright.
More importantly, Wolves football players are just as committed in the classroom as they are on the gridiron. Boasting a graduation rate of over 90% for players who play at least a season and a half and 35 Honor Roll players with a GPA of 3.5 or higher, the Wolves Football is truly composed of student-athletes. Moreover, the lessons they learn about teamwork, perseverance, time management, and commitment follow them into their careers and help them rise to leadership positions across a vast array of industries and fields.
Funds raised on Giving Day will go towards student scholarships, the purchase of new equipment, and team travel for the upcoming season. Your gift sustains Wolves Football and Wolves Football student-athletes.
