Husson established their football team in 1932 despite the Bangor branch of the Shaw Business School fielding a team in the early 1900s. The team was known as the Maine School of Commerce and finished their inaugural season with a 2âÂÂ3âÂÂ1 record. The team's first-ever win came against Greenville High School with a final score of 20âÂÂ0. The team played until 1936 before being discontinued due to low participation. The program was restarted as a six-man football team in 1938, but only lasted one season.
In 2002, Husson announced they would revive the football team and would begin play in 2003. The team's inaugural coach was chosen to be Gabby Price, who previously coached Bangor High School.
Husson claims 5 conference titles, the most recent of which came in 2018.
