The team currently competes in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) as a full member of the Southland Conference.

Since the 2013 games were played during a developmental season, records and statistics are considered unofficial.

On September 21, 2019, HCU junior wide receiver Ben Ratzlaff hit junior half-back Coleman Robinson for a two-point conversion after the Huskies scored with 1:14 remaining to rally past South Dakota, 53-52, in a non-conference FCS matchup Saturday afternoon in the DakotaDome.

HCU named Braxton Harris as the second head football coach in the school's history, as announced by President Robert Sloan and director of athletics Steve Moniaci at a campus press conference.

3 The 2020 Southland Conference season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic and only 4 non-conference games were played.
