Conference	Independent (2003–2008) ECFC (2009)
Head coach	Gabby Price (2003–2008) Niles Nelson (2009)
Home stadium	Winkin Sports Complex

The Husson Eagles football program, 2003–2009 represented Husson University during the 2000s in college football as an independent until 2008 and as a member of the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) in 2009. The team was led by two different head coaches: Gabby Price from 2003 to 2008 and Niles Nelson, who held the position from 2009 to 2010. This was the second iteration of football at Husson, as the team disbanded after the 1936 season due to low participation and returned briefly in 1938 as a six-man football team, but did not field a full team again until 2003. The six-man team's stats are not reflected in the overall records or stats.

The team was first referred to as the Braves in 2003 before becoming the Eagles ahead of the 2004 season.

The 2003 Husson Braves football team represented Husson College—now known as Husson University—as an independent during the 2003 NCAA Division III football season. In their first year under head coach Gabby Price, the team compiled a 0–7 record and was outscored by opponents by a total of 60 to 271.

Husson's board of trustees voted unanimously to bring back football as an intercollegiate sport with a budget of $250,000.^[2] Former Bangor High School head coach Gabby Price was tabbed as the team's inaugural head coach.^[3] The team began with 35 players but bloomed to 72 before the beginning of the season.^[4]

The team had three captains: quarterback Lee St. Hilaire, linebacker Jim Tribou, and defensive lineman Nate Roberts. St. Hilaire was the Maine high school football's all-time passing leader and had enrolled to play Division I football for Maine before quitting the team midway through the season. He returned to the gridiron for Husson's first season after a year out of playing. In February 2004, St. Hilaire died of an apparent suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his stomach.^[5][6]

St. Hilaire completed 79 of 172 passes for 960 yards, five touchdowns, and six interceptions.^[7] The team's leading rushers were running backs Justin Spencer and Josh Nowlin who finished with 352 and 250 yards, respectively.^[7] Wide receiver Ryan Lockard was the team's leading receiver with 312 receiving yards on 19 catches.^[7]

The 2009 Husson Eagles football team represented Husson University as a member of the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) during the 2009 NCAA Division III football season. In their first year under head coach Niles Nelson, the team compiled a 4–5 record (3–3 in ECFC play) and outscored opponents by a total of 275 to 201.

In June 2009, the team's only head coach since its restart, Gabby Price, shockingly announced his resignation.^[107] His resignation was seen as "completely unexpected,"^[107] as the players and coaching staff did not find out until he handed in his resignation letter.^[108] He resigned, stating, "It just felt right at this time; a good time to step aside to that [Husson football] could grow in the right ways."^[107] He ended his tenure going 25–28, including 19–10 in his last three seasons.^[107] The team's defensive coordinator for the past five seasons, Niles Nelson, was chosen as Price's successor out of three potential candidates.^[109][110] Nat Clark, the teams assistant head coach, special teams coordinator, and offensive line coach, and Greg Marter, the team's defensive line coach were the two other candidates.^[109] Like Price, Nelson served as the head coach for Bangor High School.^[109] Alongside becoming the head coach, Nelson took on the roles of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.^[111]

In 2007, it was announced that Husson's main conference, the North Atlantic Conference (NAC), would start sponsoring football in 2009 alongside Gallaudet, Norwich, Maritime, Becker, and Mount Ida.^[112] Due to NCAA Division III playoff rules, the NAC was not able to secure an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tournament because at least seven members of the conference needed to be full-time members of the NAC.^[112] In 2009, only Husson and recently Castleton's newly created football team met the criteria.^[112] Instead, Husson, the previous six mentioned teams, and Anna Maria's start-up team created the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC), a single-sport football conference that would become eligible for postseason play in 2011.^[112]

Quarterback Jack Hersom completed 58 of 103 passes for 656 yards, five touchdowns, and eight interceptions.^[113] The team's leading rusher was running back Julius Williams, who finished with 1,042 yards and 11 touchdowns.^[113] Wide receiver James Dobson was the team's leading receiver with 228 yards on 15 catches alongside two touchdowns.^[113]

After the season, running back Julius Williams and offensive lineman Jon Benson earned First-team All-ECFC honors, while linebackers Bobby Gilbert and Keenon Blindlow were named to the Second-team All-ECFC.^[114]
