The St. Thomas Tommies have announced their 2025 football schedule, which includes five home games and 12 contests overall.
St. Thomas opens the 2025 season on Thursday, Aug. 28 with a home contest against the Lindenwood Lions at O’Shaughnessy Stadium in Saint Paul, Minn.
The Tommies then travel for consecutive contests against the Idaho Vandals on Saturday, Sept. 6 and the Northern Michigan Wildcats on Saturday, Sept. 13. The contest against Northern Michigan, a Division II opponent, was previously unannounced.
St. Thomas’ fourth and final non-conference opponent is the North Dakota State Bison, the reigning FCS national champion. That contest is slated for the regular-season finale on Nov. 22 in Fargo, N.D.
St. Thomas opens Pioneer Football League (PFL) play in 2025 on the road against the San Diego Toreros on Sept. 27. Other PFL road opponents include Davidson on Oct. 11, Stetson on Oct. 25, and Drake on Nov. 8.
PFL opponents slated to visit O’Shaughnessy Stadium this fall include Butler on Oct. 4, Valparaiso on Oct. 18, Marist on Nov. 1, and Presbyterian on Nov. 15.

St. Thomas finished the 2024 season 6-6 overall and 5-3 in PFL play. The Tommies are entering their 17th season under head coach Glenn Caruso, who has a 157-34 overall record at the school.
Wow, Northern Michigan is a road game. Interesting.
And a no September homes games and a road trip to NDSU for the season finale makes for a very “unique” schedule
Since the PFL has an odd number of teams, it makes sense for them to schedule a non-conference game on the final weekend of the season in a season. Although it sucks for South Dakota, who has to play 12 straight games without a bye as a result (their only bye is the last weekend of the season).
@Evan True, it’s just odd seeing a MVFC school, especially NDSU as the opponent, but travel wise this one makes sense. It also feels almost like an SEC November OOC game against an FCS squad for NDSU, a tune up/rest up prior to the playoffs.
Looking forward to Valpo 10/18.
