DII Report: The DII football pre-preseason top 10
How did my Lindy's preseason rankings turn out? Take a look inside.
While the MLB All-Star Game is quickly approaching — which means we will be looking at DII players in the game and those selected in the MLB Draft that same weekend in the coming days — it also means the 2025 DII football season is upon us.
As some of you know, I have written the DII football preview for Lindy’s magazine for six seasons now. While I typically pick the top 25, two All-American teams, and players of the year, this year was a little different. With so much movement — two of DII football’s biggest names transferred after my April 30 deadline — we stuck to a top 10 and player-of-the-year candidates.
The landscape of DII football is changing, and as I said in the Lindy’s article, what you read today will likely not be true tomorrow. This is not the official Preseason Power 10, which will be released in August on NCAA.com. This is a pre-preseason look, based on what we know at the moment, with a little more detail than what was in the Lindy’s article.
So, how did it pan out?
