The 2022 Lincoln Blue Tigers football team represented Lincoln University of Missouri as a member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) during the 2022 NCAA Division II football season. The Blue Tigers went winless for the second full season in a row and third season in a row overall. The team finished the season with a -397 point differential, scoring 129 and allowing 526.
The preseason and first games were also plagued by injury.
Despite these factors, there were a number of bright spots for the Blue Tigers this season. Lincoln's closest game of the season came in a tightly contested 24-35 loss to Emporia State University. The Blue Tigers also trailed by only one point to Northwest Missouri State in the second quarter, however the team would lose 20-58. On the offense, receiver Aderias Ealy averaged the third most all-purpose yards in the conference, at 101.8 YPG. He also averaged the 6th most receiving yards per game in the MIAA (63.4 YPG), and finished 7th in total yards, with 697. Ealy also scored the 6th most touchdowns in the conference (9) and also averaged the 6th most PPG. Quarterback Zamar Brake accumulated the 10th most total yards in the conference with 1,462.
On the defensive side, linebacker Jaylon Mosley recorded the 4th most solo tackles in the MIAA, with 55. He was also 5th in the conference in total tackles (91) and tackles per game (8.3). Defensive back Aeneas Tibbs and cornerback Eric Brown both finished atop the conference with 3 interceptions each. Linebacker Julian Jackson-Linkhart tied for the 5th most forced fumbles (2) in the MIAA. Defensive lineman Cody Bagby had the 8th most sack yards in the conference (35) and was tied for the 11th most sacks overall.
The special teams units were coached by Andrew Malson and 2022 began a three year stretch of PAT kicking percentage over 90% for Lincoln. The field goal unit made 15 of 16 PAT attempts, good enough for the 5th best percentage in the conference. This was also the highest single season PAT percentage in Lincoln history, led by great blocking up front, and core specialists (K) Javier "Kiko" Moereno, (H) Clayton Winkler, and (LS) Blake Oakley. Punter Clayton Winkler also finished 2nd in the conference in total punt yards (2,801).
