College of San Mateo Football Program — Go Bulldogs!

There’s nothing like the feeling of team and school pride when you’re sitting in the stands and cheering your own college football team on to victory!

Unless you’re playing the game yourself.

CSM Football Just ask some of the NFL players who are proud that they started their illustrious sports careers playing for the Bulldogs. CSM’s Football program counts among its notable alumni sports stars and legends including Julian Edelman (New England Patriots), Ryan Boschetti (Washington Redskins), Albert Tuipulotu (Pittsburgh Steelers), Keala Keana'aina (Cleveland Browns), Devin Wyman (New England Patriots), Paul Bradford (San Diego Chargers), Pat McGuirk (San Francisco 49ers), and Bill Ring (San Francisco 49ers).

At College of San Mateo, athletic development rests on three pillars: discipline, consistency, and old-fashioned hard work. Within those pillars, the Football program prides itself on developing athletes in the classroom, in the weight room, and on the field. It is a comprehensive program that also ensures athletes receive the quality academic education CSM provides. The Bulldogs play in the Bay 6 Conference which is arguably the toughest conference in the state. In 2017, they were the Northern California Champions and finished the season ranked 2nd in the nation.

Indeed, the creed of CSM’s athletics department intercollegiate athletics faculty and staff is a commitment to facilitate personal development and academic progress of highly skilled, motivated students, inclusive and respectful of diverse backgrounds through participation in the varsity athletics program. The Athletics Department steadfastly supports the academic progress of student-athletes and the achievement of their educational objectives to enable students to realize their true and full potential.

Each year, 25-35 CSM football players earn scholarships and move on to four-year colleges and universities. In addition to providing scholarships, the Foundation is proud to collaborate with the Football team on promoting fundraising events like the inaugural crab feast, which will take place once college activities are again in person.

“I’m so honored to work with our scholar-athletes,” Head Coach Tim Tulloch asserts. “Our Built for Life program at CSM prides itself on truly being a human development and transfer program that just happens to play football at a national championship level. Our young men develop foundational skills like work ethic, resilience, how to communicate, work together with teammates for a common goal, and humility. WE before ME.”

“These skills prepare our young men for success not only on and off the field at their four-year university, but all set the foundation for leadership positions in their careers, and life. Better men make better students, athletes, husbands, and fathers. Better men make better Bulldogs, so we focus on developing the man.”
