I am excited to announce I have committed to play football with the Morningside Mustangs. I am thankful for my family who has supported me on my journey and can’t thank my coaches and teammates enough. I am looking forward to joining the Mustang family!

Men of Summer. An unbelievable group of men who got better this summer!

4.22.2023 .

🤼‍♂️ Hunter DeJong is the champion at 285. DeJong wins by forfeit over fellow Mustang Jakob Jerabek, but both wrestlers will be going to nationals. The Mustangs have six individual champions as we wait for the final matches of weekend to finish up.

Recruits always ask why Morningside. What sets you apart? This is the undisputable answer! It takes a #RareBreed to run with these Mustangs! Congrats @MsideFball on your induction in to the NAIA Hall of Fame!

"To be successful, to be great, the thing people have in common, they realize they really don't have a choice. There is one way-the right way-the hard way. There are no shortcuts. You have to be willing to do something that somebody else isn't willing to do." @KirbySmartUGA

Congratulations to our NAIA Hall of Fame Coach @MsideFball Your legacy and impact cannot be measured. @MorningsideEdu and @MsideFootball are better because of you! #RareBreed

How an athlete spends their summer tells you all you need to know about how bad they want to win.

The best day of the year is winning the national championship. The second best day of the year is the day you get your rings!!! It’s always a great at to be a Mustang! #RareBreed

3 hours until we are back on the field again! Toughness beats talent! #Relentless #Rarebreed

🌱BREAKING🌱 This morning, Morningside purchased 76 acres of farmland on the southeast side of Sioux City that will be used to expand offerings for @MSideAg. We are so excited for what this means for our students and future. #MsideProud
