#GoldStandard🔰
Norfolk State University is ranked No. 8 in the HBCU Times top 25 HBCU rankings for 2026. NSU jumped eight spots from No.16 in the 2025 rankings to No.8 this year.
The HBCU Times rankings were developed through a comprehensive and deliberate evaluation conducted by an editorial board of 12 HBCU experts, representing faculty, staff and students from across the HBCU community.
In determining the rankings, the board assessed a range of key indicators, including academic reputation, alumni success, athletic performance, institutional legacy, student outcomes and national influence. These factors were evaluated using a structured qualitative framework designed to ensure a balanced and holistic representation of each institution’s overall impact, influence and trajectory.

"That win-loss column, I've never been afraid of it, but it does come with some level of respect. We didn't gain that respect from anybody last year so we've got to go out and earn our respect."
Norfolk State head coach Michael Vick spoke about his team after the spring game today, lauding his defense and discussing the chip on the Spartans' shoulders, among other things.
