rgo Athletics turned the Fall 2025 semester into one of the most successful stretches in program history, delivering championships, postseason appearances and national recognition across multiple sports. From the football field to the volleyball court, the Argos consistently rose to the moment. The season was defined not only by wins and titles, but by the people behind them — student-athletes who excelled under pressure and coaches whose leadership earned conference and national acclaim.
FO OTBALL: A HI STORI C R U N Argo football set the tone early, winning its first nine games to post the best start in program history. UWF finished the regular season with a 9-1 record and earned a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs, advancing to the second round in Super Region 2. “The 2025 season was a great season for the Argos and something we can continue to build on for the future of the University of West Florida,” said head coach Kaleb Nobles. “Seeing the behind-the-scenes work put in by our coaches and players translate into success on the field is what I coach for.” Nobles was named the American Football Coaches Association Region 2 Coach of the Year. Linebacker Ja’Kobe Clinton earned AFCA First Team All-America honors, while quarterback Marcus Stokes delivered a standout season that drew national attention. Stokes was named a finalist for the Harlan Hill Trophy, awarded to the top player in Division II football, and was selected as the Division II Conference Commissioners Association Super Region 2 Offensive Player of the Year.
