Football

From 1946 to 1980, Maryland Eastern Shore (Maryland State College from 1946 to 1970) fielded a successful football program. UMES football produced 20 future NFL players, most notably Art Shell of the Oakland / Los Angeles Raiders. The program was discontinued in 1980.[5]

Bowling

Since it was upgraded to an NCAA varsity sport in 2003–04, the Hawks have had one of the best programs in NCAA Bowling. The Hawks have won three national titles (2008, 2011, 2012) and were national runners-up in 2007. UMES has also won five MEAC titles in that span.[6]
