Prairie View A&M announces Lincoln Oaklanders for 2025 Homecoming game

Prairie View A&M University has announced that the Lincoln Oaklanders will replace North American University as their Homecoming opponent for the 2025 football season after NAU discontinued its football program. Athletic Director Anton Goff confirmed that the game will take place on October 25, 2025, marking the first matchup between the two schools. The Panthers are poised to kick off their season earlier on August 30, 2025, against Texas Southern, as they aim to improve under new head coach Tremaine Jackson following a challenging previous season. The change comes as Prairie View A&M seeks to maintain its strong tradition of Homecoming events, which are significant for alumni and fans. The Lincoln Oaklanders, an independent program, have struggled in recent seasons, making this matchup an intriguing one for the Panthers. With the schedule now set, PVAMU is focused on preparing for a successful season ahead.
