The Mount Ida College football program began competing in NCAA
contests in 1999. They joined the Eastern Collegiate Football
Conference (ECFC) in 2009 and captured an ECFC championship and
NCAA tournament appearance in 2012. The Mustangs have also appeared
in two ECAC North Atlantic Bowl games.
Every season, the Mustangs match up against opponents from the
ECFC, as well as a tough non-conference schedule made up of local
and regional opponents.

2. Come
visit. Make a visit to
campus with your parents. Contact Coach Landers with some
anticipated dates. Coach Landers will confirm availability,
which will then allow you the chance to schedule a campus tour and
admissions interview through our Admission’s Office at
617-928-4553. Coach Landers and his staff are available throughout
the year and are happy to meet with prospects and their families in
the football office. Please anticipate spending about three hours
during a complete visit.
3. Send a video or YouTube
clips. Send a game or
highlight tape of you playing in a competitive environment.
We can't get out to see every prospect play. Looking at a
tape or YouTube clips of you allows us at least something to go on,
which may be helpful in evaluating your ability to play at Mount
Ida.

4. See the team
play. Check out the
schedule and come watch the team play. Send Coach Landers an email
in advance at mlanders@mountida.edu or call him at 617-928-4083
so either he or his staff can meet you at the end of the game.
The Process: The
football staff attends games and tournaments throughout a
prospect’s junior and senior years. This allows us to
establish a positive relationship and rapport with the prospect as
well as his family and evaluate their growth and development as a
player.
