TheUtah Tech Trailblazers football team, formerly known as theDixie State Trailblazers,[a] representUtah Tech University in the sport ofAmerican football. The Trailblazers compete as a member of theUnited Athletic Conference (UAC) at theNCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level in theNational Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Originally a junior college program, the school joined the NCAA at theDivision II level in 2006 and played in theGreat Northwest Athletic Conference from 2008 through 2016 and theRocky Mountain Athletic Conference for the 2017, 2018, and 2019 seasons. In July 2020, they began the transition to NCAA Division I status by moving to theWestern Athletic Conference (WAC) in all sports except football.[4]
In July 2021, the WAC reinstated football as a sponsored sport, playing at the FCS level. This coincided with the arrival of four new members that play FCS football; withSouthern Utah University set to join in 2022.[5][6][7] After the 2022 season, the WAC fully merged its football league with that of theASUN Conference, creating what eventually became the United Athletic Conference, and Utah Tech accordingly moved its football team to the new league.[8] However, Utah Tech is ineligible forFCS Playoff competition until 2024 due to NCAA transfer rules.
