Angelo State University Athletics

Angelo State competes in NCAA Division II, which offers athletic scholarships but operates below the major college sports spotlight of Division I. The Rams field 11 varsity teams and distribute $2.6 million in athletic scholarships across 364 student-athletes. About 6.6% of the student body participates in varsity athletics. Angelo State competes in the Lone Star Conference alongside regional rivals like Midwestern State University. The Rams have built a solid Division II reputation, particularly in football and basketball, drawing support from the close-knit San Angelo community. With nearly all students coming from Texas (95.5%), the athletic programs serve as a source of regional pride for West Texas. The smaller venue atmosphere creates an intimate game-day experience where student-athletes often excel both academically and athletically.
