Weber State
Weber State University gives Ogden its own Division I identity. The Wildcats compete in the Big Sky and carry a long football tradition that still organizes the local sports calendar.

Why Weber State is more than a northern-Utah footnote
Ogden has a Division I football program that has lived on the FCS map for decades. Four Big Sky titles, nine winning seasons under the current assistant bench, and a stadium that stays loud on Saturday nights are not negotiable facts. They are the reason Weber State belongs in any real survey of Utah sports.
The 2025 season was also a reminder that Division I programs are still volatile. The Wildcats parted ways with head coach Mickey Mental in November and named Brent Myers interim while the program searched for its next lead. That makes Weber State a transition-year story, which is exactly the kind of moment a publication tracks on the record.
What the current Weber State coverage shows
Weber State Football is anchored by Jackson Gilkey, the UTSA transfer who opened 2025 as the starting quarterback, delivered a 42-41 road win at McNeese, and lost the rest of the season to a broken fibula at UC Davis.
That gives the page a real player path and a real program question at the same time.
