One of the latest conferences to reveal their preseason coaches poll is GLIAC, who announced their results on Thursday, July 31. Heading into the new season, the reigning NCAA Division II champions and GLIAC leaders, the Ferris State Bulldogs, are projected to win it all once again with 47 points and six first-place votes. 

Ferris State took its only loss of the 2024 in its debut matchup against Pittsburg State, but rode the remainder of the season on a 14-game win streak all the way through the NCAA Division II Championships. 

Starting quarterback Trinidad Chambliss threw for 2,179 yards, 19 touchdowns, and just five interceptions for the Bulldogs. However, Chambliss is not set to make a return, but will join the Ole Miss Rebels next season. 

Grand Valley State was not too far behind with 41 points and one first-place vote, but it's clear that Ferris State is backed by confidence in another Division II title.
