KINGSTON, RI — The University of Rhode Island was the unanimous choice to win the Coastal Athletic Association Crown.
"Rhode Island, which is coming off back-to-back 11-3 seasons and the outright CAA Football championship in 2025, was the unanimous choice to claim the title again in 2026 according to a vote of the league’s head coaches," the CAA said Tuesday.
"The Rams received all 12 possible first-place votes (coaches can’t vote for their own team) and 144 points in the preseason poll," according to the CAA. "Monmouth was chosen second with 119 points, while Elon was close behind in third with 115 points."
On top of being picked the favorite for the championship, Rams senior quarterback Devin Farrell was named the CAA Offensive Player of the Year.
