MISSION STATEMENT
Wayne State University believes that intercollegiate athletics are
an important and wholesome adjunct to the principal purposes of
the University: (1) the advancement of knowledge through research
and investigation; and (2) the dissemination of knowledge through
teaching. To that end, participants in intercollegiate athletics must
be, fi rst and foremost, students whose fundamental aim is to obtain
a sound education.
A major mission of the University is to achieve an increasing level of
excellence in the quality of its programs and to enhance the visibility
and recognition of the University as a whole. Students who participate
in intercollegiate athletics are directly involved in the implementation
of this mission of excellence, and by such participation, provide a
unifying objective of community and University.
Wayne State University believes that a well-balanced program
in intercollegiate sports is important so long as it remains in proper
focus as an ancillary of the real purposes of the University; so long as
it remains under academic control; so long as the players are bona fi de
students; and so long as the coaches strive to instill qualities of honesty,
sportsmanship and clean play.

#WARRIORFB 5
Since Rob Fournier was named Director of Athletics at
Wayne State University on September 1, 2000, a lot has
changed. In those 15 years, the department’s competitive
success, classroom achievements, community outreach
initiatives and the physical structure of the athletic
campus has seen a signifi cant transformation. That
development has followed a strategic plan that models
business forecasting and has realized defi ned goals/
objectives. The results are well-documented.
That competitive success is evident in Wayne State’s
national standing against all Division II institutions. WSU’s
14 best fi nishes in the prestigious NACDA Cup standings
(which measures the overall competitive success of
athletic programs around the country) have all occurred in
the last 14 years including the three highest marks ever in
the past seven years – 11th in 2009, 14th in 2014 and 21st
in 2010. Those fi nishes secured an unprecedented top four
(4%), top fi ve (5%) and top seven (7%) percent ranking
among all Division II athletic programs in the country. Ten
of 18 athletic teams advanced to the NCAA tournament
last season. In the past 14 years WSU has catapulted over
100 places in the NACDA rankings.
Additionally, in those 15 years, 43 WSU coaches have
been named conference coach of the year while fi ve have
gone on to be distinguished as National Coach of the Year.
In 2012, the women’s swimming and diving program won
the fi rst national title since women’s fencing in 1989.
Football had its best season ever in 2011 reaching the
Division II national championship game.
During Fournier’s tenure at WSU, Warrior athletic teams
have won 33 conference regular-season titles, 11 league
tournament titles and eight postseason regional, super
regional or national titles.
For his eff orts, Fournier was honored by NACDA as the
Athletics Director of the Year in the Central Region in 2008.
Last year, WSU had twenty-eight (28) All-Americans.
In the past 10 years, 294 Warriors have been named All-
Americans, the most in any decade. In the 98 years of
WSU Athletics, 347 of the 568 all-time All-Americans (61
percent of the total) have been so honored since 2000.
Another strategic measurement continues to be
noteworthy. The 2014-15 academic year continued both
academic achievement and community volunteerism.
Fifteen (15) of WSU’s 17 athletic programs (women’s
indoor and outdoor track is counted as one) have
cumulative grade-point averages above 3.00 with a
composite cumulative GPA of all WSU student-athletes at
3.10. The annual NCAA Federally-mandated graduation
rate (fi ve year) for WSU student-athletes is at an all-time
high of 72 percent which has risen over 30 percent in
Fournier’s tenure from programs such as: survival skills,
connect-mentoring and learning specialists!
In addition, in the last 12 months, WSU student-
athletes contributed an exemplary 10,754 community
service hours volunteering at a variety of Detroit
initiatives. In the past six years alone, student-athletes
have committed 53,863 community service hours with
such programs as Habitat For Humanity, University Prep
Elementary, Capuchin Soup Kitchen and Warming Center,
Adopt a Family Thanksgiving Basket, Basic Needs Drive, Be
The Match Donor Registry, Covenant House Michigan, NSO
(Neighborhood Service Organization), SOCKS in the City,
L.I.N.K. Mentoring (Local Intervention Network for Kids,
S.M.A.R.T.S. Mentoring, Big Brother Big Sisters, Make-A-
Wish Foundation, COTS, Toys for Tots, Forgotten Harvest,
Gleaners Food Bank and Manhood Mentoring Project to
name only some of the programs.
The conference recognized those achievements with an
unprecedented association’s honor of the Sportsmanship
Award and Community Service Award in 2013.
The rise in both academic average and community
outreach has been dramatic, consistent and
unprecedented. In addition, in the latest federally-
mandated graduation rate report, it noted WSU student-
athletes received an undergraduate degree at a rate 30
percent higher than the comparable campus population.
These, and other academic achievements, are recognized
at the annual academic banquet, which he started in 2001
and combines a salute to the University’s faculty.
Fournier’s ability to generate private and corporate
support has dramatically altered the physical setting
of the athletic campus and the practice/competitive
opportunities for WSU student-athletes.
In his 15 years, he has secured $14,762,796 in revenue
for the athletic department including $13,231,677 in cash
and an additional 1,531,119 in deferred gifts. That total
has helped complete the following facility initiatives:
football locker room; multipurpose indoor facility; new
men’s and women’s basketball offi ce complex; baseball’s
replica Fenway Park baseball stadium which displays the
former Tiger Stadium scoreboard on its famous “Green
Monster facade; men’s and women’s basketball coaches
offi ces and fi lm room; softball locker room and coaches
offi ces, along with a grandstand, walkway and press box;
a Boston Garden-like parquet fl oor for basketball; Hall
of Fame foyer; swimming video board, pool deck and
bleachers in the natatorium; football ticket booths and

quarterbacks coach for the 2014 campaign and will
again coach the signal callers in 2015.
Last season, Reardon tutored Carl Roscoe who
fi nished ninth in the NCAA in passing yards per
completion (15.09) and 16th in passing yards
per attempt (8.59). In addition, WSU was third
nationally in red zone off ense at 90.5 percent.
Roscoe was also an Academic All-GLIAC honoree
for 2014.
Reardon also guided kickers Paul Graham and
Majd Khytaz in 2014. Both were Academic All-
GLIAC selections with Graham tying for the national lead in fi eld goal percentage (93.3%) and fi nishing
19th in fi eld goals made per game (1.27). In addition to being WSU’s Special Teams MVP, Graham was
Second Team All-GLIAC, a fi nalist for the Fred Mitchell Award and was named to the Beyond Sports
Network All-Super Region 4 Third Team.
In his fi rst season back in Detroit in 2013, Reardon mentored three Academic All-GLIAC selections
(Trent Brodbeck, Aaron Weston and Ethan Walsh) with both Brodbeck and Weston being named to the
All-Academic Excellence team.
At BWU in 2012, he tutored All-OAC safety Tom Goebel, who was second on the team with 61 total
tackles, tied for the team lead with three interceptions, and led the squad with eight total pass breakups.
The Yellow Jackets compiled a 7-3 record.
Reardon originally joined the Wayne State football staff in March 2008 and served as an assistant
defensive backs coach in both 2008 and 2009 after serving as a student assistant coach at Hope in the
fall of 2007.
After working at Hope during the spring of 2010, he returned to WSU in the summer of 2010 to serve as
video coordinator and safeties coach.
His 2011 squad ranked 14th in sacks (3.00 per game), 39th in rushing defense (123.31 yards per game),
and 49th in scoring defense (23.88 points per game) as Wayne State reached the national championship
game for the fi rst time in school history. The Warriors were ranked second in the fi nal AFCA poll after
setting a school record with 12 overall wins, four playoff victories, and eight triumphs on the road.
Two of his players received conference all-academic honors, while senior safety Jeremy Jones was voted
GLIAC Defensive Back of the Year as well as to numerous All-America squads.
In 2010, WSU junior safety Jeremy Jones became the fi rst WSU defensive player in school history to earn
First Team All-America accolades (Daktronics All-America First Team).
Wayne State was tied-for-34th nationally in sacks (2.45 per game) in 2010, 38th in scoring defense
(20.73 points per game), 50th in total defense (330.45 yards per game) and 52nd in passing effi ciency
(116.72 rating). All this helped the Warriors set a school record for overall wins (9), conference victories
(8) and the highest AFCA ranking in school history (12th).
In 2009, he helped coach one all-league performer (Jones) and four academic all-conference selections
(Joe Claiborne, Aaron Cornett, Kenny Loney and Brent Wisniewski).
A 2007 graduate of Hope College, he was named to the 2006-07 MIAA Academic Honor Roll and also

honoree with Walker receiving Honorable Mention All-GLIAC accolades. Box was the squad’s recipient
of the Randy Guzowski Award, which goes to the individual who has demonstrated team leadership and
shown exemplary school and community citizenship.
On the fi eld in 2014, Wooster’s corps ranked 12th nationally in fewest sacks allowed (0.91 per game)
and 23rd in fewest tackles for loss allowed (5.18 per game). WSU also ranked third in Division II in red
zone off ense at 90.5 percent which coincided with 28 rushing touchdowns and over 215 rushing yards
per game.
At the conclusion of the 2013 campaign, four of his off ensive linemen were named to the GLIAC All-
Academic Team with one (Ben Walker) earning All-Academic Excellence accolades. In addition, redshirt
freshman Robert Kelly was the recipient of the Warriors Off ensive Rookie of the Year award, while
Walker was an Honorable Mention All-GLIAC selection. WSU rushed for over 190 yards per game and 20
touchdowns during the 2013 season.
Wooster’s entire 2012 tight end group consisted of either true freshmen and or redshirt freshmen. He
had one player earn Academic All-GLIAC honors (Ethan Walsh) and another (Trent Brodbeck) be voted
WSU’s Off ensive Rookie of the Year.
His 2011 tight ends corps helped the Warriors to a school record for overall wins (12), road wins (8),
while winning four consecutive road playoff games to reach the national title contest. In addition, senior
Greg Oberstaedt was named to the GLIAC All-Academic team.
The Warriors ranked in the top 40 nationally in four off ensive categories for the 2011 campaign -- ninth
in fewest sacks allowed (0.94 per game), 23rd in scoring off ense (34.38 ppg), 26th in passing effi ciency
(144.02) and 33rd in rushing off ense (200.56 ypg).
In 2010, one of his student-athletes (Austin Hughes) was named to the All-GLIAC Honorable Mention
team, while also receiving the Ron Solack #35 Award.
In addition, WSU was second in the league in both rushing touchdowns (27) and fewest sacks allowed
(9). In terms of NCAA rankings, the Warriors fi nished sixth in fewest sacks allowed per game (0.82), 30th
in rushing off ense (194.73 yards per game) and 45th in scoring off ense (31.55 points per game). All this
helped the Warriors set a school record for overall wins (9) in 2010, conference victories (8) and the highest
AFCA ranking in school history (12th). All three of his players (Hughes, Greg Oberstaedt and Cory Zauner)
earned GLIAC All-Academic honors for the 2009 campaign.
After attending Eastern Michigan in the fall of 1995, he transferred to WSU in the spring of 1996 and
saw limited action that season for the Tartars. He then started all 11 games for WSU in both 1997 and 1998

The 2015 Wayne State University football squad, led by
12th year head coach Paul Winters, will look to continue the
strong performance at the end of the 2014 campaign which
saw the Warriors win their fi nal four contests.
WSU posted a 7-4 overall record a year ago, while going
6-4 in the GLIAC. The Warriors lost three of those four games
by a total of seven points, which shows how close the team
was to going 10-1 and making run at the playoff s.
Key departures from last year’s team will create a new-look
Warriors squad in 2015. This includes First Team All-GLIAC
running back Desmond Martin, currently a member of the
Detroit Lions, and former linebacker and American Football
Coaches Association All-American Nores Fradi. These two
student-athletes along with veteran stalwarts Ben Walker
and Thom Box played pivotal roles for the Warriors last
season and the seasons prior.
“This year’s team is diff erent,” said Winters. “Defensively
we have matured, with three senior defensive backs to be
excited about, and off ensively we have a fi fth-year senior
starting at quarterback in Carl Roscoe and a more experienced
off ensive line.”
WSU returns 45 letterwinners and 12 starters including
seven on the off ensive side of the ball.
The quarterback position has one veteran in fi fth-year
senior Carl Roscoe, who has made 15 career starts, and four
others who have never taken a snap in a regular-season
college football game. Last season, Roscoe fi nished ninth
nationally in passing yards per completion (15.09), 16th
in passing yards per attempt (8.59) and 47th in passing
effi ciency (137.05).
Backing-up Roscoe will be redshirt sophomore Trevor
Van Tubbergen, fi fth-year senior Ryan Newcom and true
freshmen D.J. Zezula and Christian Klink.
Newcom is in fourth year as a Warrior after redshirting
his freshman season at Ashland, while Van Tubbergen in his
third year in the program. Zezula went 38-2 as a starter and
led Clarkston to back-to-back state titles in 2013 and 2014,
including 27 straight wins. Klink passed for 2,300 yards and
20 touchdowns as a senior in high school in 2014.
Last year, WSU produced its ninth 1,000-yard running
back in the last 10 seasons as Desmond Martin (Detroit Lions)
rushed for 1,578 and 16 touchdowns. Even though Martin
and fellow senior Jay Hayes have graduated, the cupboard is
not bare in the Warriors backfi eld.
Redshirt sophomore Romello Brown rushed for 102 yards
and one score in 20 carries a year ago. Complimenting
Brown in the backfi eld will be sophomore Demetrius Stinson,
redshirt freshman Deiontae Nicholas and redshirt senior
Rabeah Beydoun.
Stinson is entering his third fall camp (second at Wayne
State after spending his initial season at Ferris State).
Nicholas was a freshman redshirt last year at WSU, while
Beydoun averaged nearly six yards per carry last season and
also made a couple of special teams tackles.
Waiting in the wings are two highly-touted recruits in
DeOntay Moff ett and James Hill.
Competition will be fi erce at the fullback position after
veteran Sean McAuliff e graduated. Redshirt junior Garrett
Wiska earned his fi rst WSU letter a year ago after transferring
from Notre Dame College. Redshirt sophomore Jason
McCauslin is entering his third camp with the Warriors.
Freshman Stephen Charron could also be in the mix. Charron
is versatile enough he could also see action at tailback.
The Warrior receiving corps will be looking for new
players to emerge this fall as nearly 70 percent of last year’s
receptions by this group have graduated in Michael Johnson
and Val Showers.
A pair of fi fth-year seniors plus two redshirt juniors will
lead this contingent in 2015. Will Wheat and Mike Sawchuk
have played in 23 and 22 games, respectively in their fi rst four
years in the Green and Gold. Wheat has nine career catches,
while Sawchuk’s availability is to be determined after an
injury during fall camp. Jamel Hicks had 14 receptions a year
ago including two for touchdowns, while Brandon Tinsley
hauled in 10 passes last season including four of at least 20
yards.
Junior Brian Blackburn, after moving from quarterback,
and redshirt sophomore Manny Mendoza are pushing the
veterans for playing time.
Three redshirt freshmen in Corey Ester, Logan Smith and
Western Michigan transfer Jordan Billingslea are battling for
spots on the travel roster.
In addition, three true freshmen in Kyle Lewis, Marcus
Bailey and Shane Holler are likely to be redshirted in 2015.
The tight end position is a veteran and deep group with all
fi ve returning from 2014. Senior Ethan Walsh was elected a
team captain in 2015. He has played in all 32 games in his
fi rst three seasons, making 29 starts. Walsh was named to
the 2014 All-GLIAC Honorable Mention Team and is a three-
time Academic All-GLIAC honoree.
Redshirt juniors Trent Brodbeck, Aaron Weston and
Nathan White all have seen considerable playing time both
on off ense and on special teams. Brodbeck returned from an
injury in 2013, to be voted to the 2014 Daktronics All-Super
Region 4 Second Team after earning All-GLIAC First Team
accolades. Brodbeck was named WSU Football’s Scholar-
Athlete Award winner for 2014-15. Weston has played in 21
games over the last two seasons and is a two-time Academic
All-GLIAC selection. Besides seeing action in all 11 games at
tight end in 2014, White was also a key member of special
teams playing on punt coverage in all 11 games, kickoff
return in eight contests and kickoff coverage in fi ve games.
Preston Pelham (Tecumseh, Mich.) redshirted in 2014
and is battling the four upperclassmen for playing time this
season.
Two recruits in Luke Ketterman and Kyle Muller should be
able to redshirt in 2015.
Last year, WSU averaged 5.1 yards per carry, was among
the national leaders in both red zone off ense at 90 percent
(38-of-42) and yards per catch (14.4). Despite losing two
fi fth-year senior co-captains in the middle of the season, the
Warriors still had strong performances from the off ensive
line. The four returning starters have combined for 64 career
starts.
Leading the group is pre-season All-American (by Lindy’s)
Nate Theaker, who has 22 career starts. Junior Robert Kelly
has made 21 starts, while sophomore Tommy Richardson
and junior Sawyer McFadden have 11 and 10 career starts,
respectively. Theaker’s status for the year is in question after
surgery in August. Kelly and Richardson have both moved
one position to left with Kelly heading to left guard and
Richardson to center.
A solid corps of juniors looking to contribute more this year
include Alex Ziedas, JT Pillars, Andy Zimmerman, Sam Tate,
Ed Reny and Jake Sheets. Sophomore Greg Webber is another
individual looking to contribute. The versatility is also evident
in this group as Ziedas can play both guard and center, while
Tate can swing between guard and tackle.
All four recruits are slated to redshirt in order to get
stronger and adjust to the collegiate game. The tackles are
Tarron Hampton and Justin Tockstein, along with guards
Charlie Younger and Nick Davis.
In 2014, the Warrior defensive line corps produced two
Senior quarterback Carl Roscoe has started 15
games under center for the Warriors.

Academic All-GLIAC selections in Blake Mazur and Alex
Medenbach along with WSU Defensive Rookie of the Year
award recipient Jake Carrizales. Carrizales was a Second Team
All-GLIAC selection, while Justice Akuezue and Sam Sillmon
were both named to the All-GLIAC Honorable Mention Team.
Carrizales was third in the GLIAC in both sacks and tackles
for loss per game, while Sillmon was among the conference
leaders in fumble recoveries.
As a team, WSU led the GLIAC in 2014 and ranked 22nd
nationally in sacks (2.91 per game), while ranking eighth
in NCAA Division II with 9.3 tackles for loss per game. The
Warriors were ranked 38th in D-II in total defense allowing
338.5 yards per game.
With three fi fth-year seniors slated to start on the
defensive line plus sophomore Jake Carrizales at one of the
defensive end spots, this position group is poised for an
outstanding year in 2015.
The nose tackle spot will be spearheaded by Raafat El
Hage, while junior Dalton Binkowski and sophomores Blake
Mazur and LaMonte Baker provide depth at the position.
The defensive tackle slot is even more experienced than
the nose tackle position with senior Derrick Rodgers being
backed-up by juniors Jada Littlejohn and Medenbach.
With Carrizales at one defensive end spot, senior Ashawn
Butler is slated to start on the other side. Back-ups on the
outside include junior Adam Williams along with redshirt
freshmen Derrick Coleman and Kolby Nance.
All six incoming defensive linemen -- Tiroca Battle, Brady
Beedon, Caleb Carrizales, Jon Currie, Justin Hollins and Jalen
Lewis -- are slated to be redshirted.
Heading into 2014, the linebacking corps was possibly the
thinnest in terms of depth. But the performances of seniors
Nores Fradi and Marcell Jones, along with middle linebacker
Senior safety Zak Bielecki has made 16 starts
in the Warrior secondary.
Anthony DeDamos turned this group into a weekly highlight
show.
The lone starter returning among the linebackers is
DeDamos. He notched a career-high 12 tackles (8-4) in the
season fi nale win over Hillsdale, along with recording the
longest non-scoring interception return in school history (85
yards) breaking an 89-year school record to earn the WSU
Defensive Player of the Week for the third time that season.
DeDamos fi nished third on the squad in both tackles (70)
and tackles for loss (12.0 - 11 solo, 2 assisted), while ranking
tied-for-second in forced fumbles (2). His 12.0 TFL was tied-
for-sixth in the GLIAC and two fumble recoveries was tied-
for-fi fth.
Redshirt juniors Valorian Cunningham and Idris Hobdy are
slated to start on the outside in 2015. Cunningham played in
the fi rst seven games, making one start (vs. Carson Newman).
His lone “offi cial” tackle vs. Michigan Tech was a six-yard
sack. He also made the stop on MTU’s PAT run. Cunningham
tied for the team lead with eight special teams tackles (8-0),
all on kickoff coverage. Hobdy saw playing time at linebacker
and on punt coverage in all 11 games. He recorded a season-
high three tackles in three diff erent contests.
Sophomore Dustin Carlin was the lone true freshman to
play in 2014. Besides seeing playing time at linebacker in all
11 games, he also blocked a Findlay punt.
A quintet of redshirt freshmen in Carterris Carter, Drew
Dowding, Randy Garvin, Anthony Pittman and Zach Heddy
have had a year to adjust to the speed of the college game
and add the strength needed to compete in the GLIAC. Junior
Brook Higgins is also in the mix for a spot on the travel squad
after seeing action in fi ve contests a year ago.
Expected to redshirt in 2015 are four highly-touted recruits
in Leon Eggleston, Darius Griggs, Michael Hazime and Ryan
Smith.
In 2014, the Warrior defensive backs corps produced two
All-Region recipients as Zak Bielecki was a Daktronics Second
Team All-Region honoree while Gerren DuHart was a Beyond
Sports Network Second Team All-Region selection prior to
being named to the USA Football All-America Second Team.
Bielecki tied for fi rst in the GLIAC and was ninth nationally
in solo tackles per game (6.6), while also earning Academic
All-GLIAC honors. DuHart was a First Team All-GLIAC honoree
while Bielecki was named to the All-GLIAC Honorable
Mention Team.
With three fi fth-year seniors having signifi cant starting
experience plus sophomore James Howard and junior Lairren
Johnson battling for the second cornerback position, the
secondary looks to be solid again in 2015.
The safety spots will be led by Zak Bielecki and Jamiil
Williams. Bielecki has started 16 contests with Williams
making 22 career starts. Junior James Hendrix and
sophomore Ron Brant will provide depth at safety and also
help on special teams. Freshmen Andy Bielecki and Kyle Toth
will most likely redshirt in 2015.
Brandon Lee will start at one corner position opposite
either Howard or Johnson. Lee has started the last 17 games
at cornerback for the Warriors.
Senior defensive end Ashawn Butler was
voted one of the team captains for 2015.
Five true freshmen plus redshirt freshmen Jared Singletary
and Devyn Manson will back-up the aforementioned trio of
cornerbacks. The incoming group includes Greg McDade,
Terry Sanders, Donte Eubanks, Tre’von Avery and Anthony
Copeland.
Both kickers return from a year ago in senior Majd Khytaz
and redshirt sophomore Paul Graham. Khytaz was a three-
time WSU Special Teams Player of the Week in 2014, while
also earning GLIAC All-Academic Team honors. Khytaz
averaged 53.6 yards on 69 kickoff s with three touchbacks last
season.
Meanwhile, Graham was voted to the 2014 All-GLIAC
Second Team as well as being selected WSU’s Special Teams
Most Valuable Player. He was named to the USA College
Football Freshman All-America Team along with being voted
to the Beyond Sports Network All-Super Region 4 Third Team.
Graham tied-for-second in the GLIAC with 14 made fi eld goals
(made his fi rst 14 attempts) which tied him for the national
lead in fi eld goal percentage (93.3). He was 18th nationally
in fi eld goals made per game (1.27). In terms of punting,
Graham averaged 37.9 yards per kick on 39 attempts with 13
inside the 20.
Brant had a team-high 11 punt returns a year ago and
averaged 7.9 yards per attempt. He had a 34-yard return at
Malone, which was the longest by a Warrior since Josh Renel
had a 55-yard return at Ashland (10/15/2011). Ester could
also see action returning punts.
The kickoff return duties will be handled by newcomers
to that position as 32 of last year’s 33 kickoff returns (25 by
Val Showers and 7 by Jay Hayes) graduated. Hicks is the
lone returnee who had a collegiate kickoff return last year.
Stinson, Nicholas, Hicks and Ester are among the others who
will be battling for KOR duties.
Mike Komor, who had handled most of the long snapping
duties for the last 32 games, graduated last December.
Brant is the leading candidate for long snapping in punting
situations, while veteran tight end Aaron Weston is slated to
handle long snapping for PATs and fi eld goals.

#WARRIORFB 17
In January of 2015, WSU Director of Athletics
Rob Fournier announced an extension of a radio
broadcast agreement with 1400 AM and FM 92.7
The Patriot (WDTK) for football and men’s basketball
through the 2018-2019 school year.
“I am very pleased to continue our partnership
with WDTK that began back in 2002 as one of
our primary initiatives,” said Fournier. “In a
media period in which broadcast relationships
seem temporary and expedient, our association
with the professionals of WDTK gives our fans
and alumni base (250,000) around the world to
live programming. Their creative approach has
expanded opportunities not just in football and
basketball, but for a variety of sports (women’s
basketball and softball) and special programming
(Winters on Wednesday). This familiarity with a
major Detroit media presence and access for our
fan base is exceptional. Chris MacCourtney has
advanced this relationship that has enhanced both
the University and the City and we appreciate that
association.”
The 2015 campaign will be the 14th season WSU
football and basketball games have been aired on
1400 AM and contests are also available through the
Internet at wdtkam.com and on 92.7 FM.
Veteran Detroit sports broadcaster Sean Baligian
returns for his seventh season calling Warrior
football contests. Baligian has been on the Detroit
airwaves for over a decade and writes a fantasy
football blog during the football season for MLive.

in The Detroit News. In Oct. 2007, Baligian was
named Best Radio Sports Talk Host by the Detroit
Metro Times for the people, places and things that
make metro Detroit great. His afternoon radio sports
talk show originates from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
He also serves as the play-by-play announcer for the
Plymouth Whalers.
Former Warrior tailback and kick returner Josh
Renel will again be joining Baligian in the booth.
Renel provided color commentary for one game
in 2012 and nearly every game in 2013 and 2014.
Renel fi nished his collegiate career with nearly
5,600 all-purpose yards (which ranks second in
school history behind Joique Bell) and became only

touchdown. It was his second career kickoff return
for a score.
During his 48-game career, he averaged over fi ve

yards (784) and third in kickoff return yards (1,600).

SERVICES AVAILABLE TO WSU STUDENT-ATHLETES
The Wayne State Athletic Department has developed a comprehensive approach to academic services
for its student-athletes. The department’s goal is to assist student-athletes in pursuit of their designated
course of studies and ultimately to achieve graduation. This objective is facilitated by appropriate academic
advising, major selection, tutorial assistance and other life skill development and academic support services.
A major goal of athletic academic services is to signifi cantly increase the department’s graduation rate
over the next fi ve years and to continually emphasize the success of WSU’s student-athletes in the community.
Part of the initiative already has been realized by the department’s annual Spring Academic Recognition
Luncheon that honors student-athletes with a 3.5 or better term grade point average. The name of each
graduate is permanently displayed on a brick as part of the department’s “Wall of Fame.” The recognition
is prominently displayed in the main concourse as you enter the Matthaei Athletic Facility Complex.

Recognition Luncheon at St. Andrew’s on April 23, 2015.

Academic Monitoring
The Department of Athletics utilizes Grades First software, a monitoring alert system in which instructors,
learning specialists and tutors provide notifi cation to students and their coaches about progress in their
classes. In conjunction with the coaching staff , requests for information about class attendance and
performance are sent to each instructor through the system. The academic coordinator tracks individual
progress, schedules meetings with students as appropriate, and personally contacts instructors as necessary.
Counseling/Mentoring
The coordinator meets with student-athletes individually and arranges for group meetings/workshops
with other support service personnel regarding academic, athletic, career, and/or personal issues (for
example, group sessions covering such topics as test-taking skills, time management, learning styles, etc.)
The Department of Athletics has collaborative relationships with many other critical units on campus to
help provide appropriate support services.
Advising/Registration
In conjunction with academic advisors in the University Advising Center, the coordinator assists student-
athletes with term course planning and registration, including holding special student-athlete Orientation
sessions to introduce them to NCAA and GLIAC eligibility requirements and departmental academic policies as
well as to Wayne State University’s academic programs, procedures and regulations, and services. The offi ce
also works closely with academic advisors in all the university’s schools and colleges to ensure appropriate
semester course selection and timely progress towards degree. The offi ce serves as a clearinghouse for
information about campus resources and student support services, university forms, enrollment deadlines
and institutional academic policies and procedures.
Structured Study
In an eff ort to help ensure the academic success and the development of consistent study patterns of
student-athletes, the coordinator organizes supervised study sessions for each team.
Tutorial Services, Writing Center, Mathematics Laboratory
The university provides free peer tutoring in most subject areas either on a drop-in or by-appointment
basis. In the event that the Academic Success Center cannot provide tutoring for a specifi c class, the
Department of Athletics has set aside funds to hire individual tutors. The coordinator works with academic
department chairs to identify qualifi ed tutors and is always available to arrange special individual or group
sessions in a variety of areas. As in all other services, the offi ce works in a proactive manner to provide
assistance before academic problems arise.

“Ruben has demonstrated a phenomenal record
in strength and conditioning when you consider the

UND sports. At Ole Miss, he spent four years overseeing a Rebel strength staff that featured four full-time
assistants and three graduate assistants dealing with 500 student-athletes and 18 varsity sports.
Mendoza was assistant director of strength, speed and conditioning for four years at Clemson

implementation of in-season strength and conditioning programs, serving as assistant coordinator of
winter conditioning as well as a speed development program, testing and monitoring all progress in
strength, fl exibility and cardiovascular fi tness, and educating student-athletes on nutritional factors,
including supplementation that aff ects health and performance.
General responsibilities at Clemson dealt with supervising the development of strength and aerobic
fi tness for 19 varsity sports through the use of sports-specifi c training programs. Mendoza managed the
14,000-square foot facility and day-to-day operations, worked closely with the Clemson head trainer in
coordinating rehabilitation programs for injured athletes, and provided supervision and developed time
schedules for varsity sports for use of athletic weight facilities.
Prior to joining the Clemson staff in June 1997, Mendoza served as head strength and conditioning

vacancy when it became a member in 1980. After the 1986-87
season, Northwood left the conference and was replaced by Northern
Michigan. Northwood rejoined the conference in 1992.
After the 1989 season, the conference dropped football as a
sponsored sport. The conference schools sponsoring football joined
the members of the Heartland Collegiate Conference in forming the
football-only Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference (MIFC),
which began play in 1990.
After nine years as one of the premier conferences in Division II
football, the MIFC merged as part of GLIAC on July 1, 1999. With the
merger, the University of Indianapolis became an associate member as
a football-only school.
The GLIAC entered a new era in the 1995-96 school year. Prior to
that time, all GLIAC member institutions were located in the state
of Michigan. On Dec. 14, 1994, membership was off ered to Ashland
University of Ashland, Ohio, and Gannon University and Mercyhurst
College, both located in Erie, Pennsylvania. All three schools began
their membership July 1, 1995.
On July 1, 1997, membership was granted to The University of
Findlay, located in Findlay, Ohio. UF replaced Oakland University,
which withdrew from the conference after the 1996-97 season as it
moved to NCAA Division I status.
The GLIAC membership changed again when Tiffi n University of Ohio
joined the conference in the 2008-09 academic year. Tiffi n was off ered
membership on June 20, 2007. The addition of Tiffi n left the GLIAC
with 12 full-time members as Gannon and Mercyhurst moved to the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference after the 2007-08 season.
The GLIAC entered a new era during the 2009-10 academic year.
Commissioner Tom Brown, who had presided over the league for 17
years, retried on June 30, 2009. The longest serving commissioner in
the history of the GLIAC, Brown expanded the conference from 10 full
members to 14 full members and two associate members. Also under
his leadership, the conference has grown to off ering championships
in 21 sports while rising to prominence on the national level as
GLIAC teams and student-athletes have achieved success both in the
classroom and on the fi elds of play.
The Conference expanded on July 1, 2010 when Lake Erie College of
Painesville, Ohio, and Ohio Dominican University, located in Columbus,
joined the GLIAC. The League expanded further expand on July 1, 2012
when Malone University and Walsh University, both located in the
Canton, Ohio area, became the 15th and 16th GLIAC members.
The policy-making body of the GLIAC is the Management Council,
which is comprised of three representatives from each member
institution – its director of athletics, faculty athletics representative
and senior woman administrator.
The presidency of the GLIAC Management Council is rotated
alphabetically by school, with Dave Marsh, Director of Athletics at
Northwood University, serving as GLIAC President in 2015-16. Dr.
Keith A. Pretty, President of Northwood University, will serve as the
chairperson of the GLIAC Presidents Council this year.
The GLIAC made history when it hired Dell Robinson as Commissioner.
Robinson became the fi rst ethnic minority to serve as D-II commissioner
of a non-historically black college or university conference when he
began his duties on July 1, 2009.
Assisting Robinson are: Jeff Ligney, Assoc. Commissioner, Danielle
Harris, Asst. Commissioner & SWA for Compliance/Championships;

GAME RECAP: Wayne State recorded its 10th consecutive
Homecoming victory by dispatching Northwood 45-27. It took the
Warriors just 2:22 to grab a 7-0 advantage on a fi ve-play, 58-yard drive
set up by a 37-yard kickoff return from Val Showers. On WSU’s second
play, Carl Roscoe connected on a 36-yard pass play with Brandon
Tinsley. On a second-and-goal, Doug Griffi n went up the middle for
two yards and his fi rst touchdown of the season. On Wayne State’s
ensuing drive, Roscoe was intercepted and on the very next play, NU’s
Mark Morris teamed up with Theron Wilson on a 31-yard touchdown
pass to knot the game at 7-7. The Warriors put together a 14-play drive
covering 75 yards that began following the Timberwolves kickoff . WSU
recorded fi ve fi rst downs with the longest play being a 10-yard run by
Griffi n on second-and-nine. Griffi n capped off the scoring drive with a
fi ve-yard run on the fi rst play of the second quarter. On Northwood’s
third play, Morris was sacked by Justice Akuezue who also forced a
fumble that was recovered by Sam Sillmon at the Timberwolves 35.
Roscoe completed a 34-yard sideline pass to Desmond Martin on the
fi rst play, and after Martin was stopped for no gain, Griffi n notched a
career-high third rushing touchdown on the very next play. Just past
the midpoint of the second stanza, WSU took possession following an
NU punt. Griffi n gained 15 yards on fi rst down, while Martin added
18 yards on four carries sandwiched around another Griffi n rushing
attempt. With a third-and-fi ve at the Northwood 29, Jay Hayes gained
six yards for a fi rst down, then scampered 23 yards for his fi rst career
rushing touchdown. Following another NU punt, Wayne State drove
45 yards in seven plays with Roscoe completing all fi ve pass attempts
for 50 yards. Big receptions came from Michael Johnson for 19 yards,
and Tinsley for 14 yards. With the clock winding down, Paul Graham
made good on a 37-yard fi eld goal attempt. Johnson extended his
touchdown receiving streak to four games by hauling in a 29-yard pass
from Roscoe. Nores Fradi led the Warrior defense with nine solo tackles
including three for loss along with a pass break-up.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State rattled off 36 consecutive points to record
a 39-15 road victory at Malone. The Warriors drove 61 yards on the
game’s opening drive leading to a 21-yard fi eld goal by Paul Graham.
After the WSU defense forced a three-and-out, a third down pass from
Carl Roscoe was intercepted by Daniel Tepe, who returned it 29 yards
to the Warrior eight. Two plays later Malone had a 6-3 advantage
after the two-point conversion rush failed. Another interception on
the ensuing drive, preceded the Wayne State defense stopping the
Pioneers. For the third consecutive drive, the Warriors had a turnover
(a fumble by Doug Griffi n) but the defense re-grouped with Anthony
DeDamos forcing a fumble inside the fi ve, with Ryan Hankins making
the recovery. The fi rst period didn’t end any better for WSU as a snap
in shotgun formation went over Roscoe’s head with the ball ending
up out of the back of the end zone. The safety pushed Malone’s lead
to 8-3. The Pioneers went 48 yards in three plays following the free
kick with Brandyn Eckhart completing a four-yard touchdown pass to
Ronnie Beers. The Warrior off ense responded on its fi rst possession of
the second stanza with a 62-yard drive on nine plays. Desmond Martin
had six carries for 49 yards on the scoring drive which pulled the Wayne
State within 15-10. Neither team was able to score the rest of the half.
WSU held a 246-133 edge in total off ense during the fi rst 30 minutes
but four turnovers plus a safety contributed to the fi ve point defi cit.
Wayne State’s defense forced a three-and-out to start the second half,
with the Warrior off ense putting together a nine-play, 64-yard drive
to regain the lead at 18-15. On a third-and-six, Roscoe completed
a 29-yard scoring toss to Michael Johnson, who had three catches
for 51 yards on the drive. Griffi n scored on a two-point conversion
rush. The WSU defense stopped the Pioneers on a fourth-and-four
from the WSU 35. Later in the third quarter, Wayne State’s defense
forced another three-and-out and the Warrior off ense responded
with 41-yard scoring drive that took seven plays and concluded on a
three-yard touchdown jaunt by Martin. On Malone’s ensuing drive,
Wayne State forced a fumble that was recovered at the Pioneer three.
Martin took a handoff on the next play and scored his third touchdown
of the game. Later Ron Brant, playing less than 30 minutes from his
hometown, returned a Malone punt 34 yards setting up the WSU
off ense in the red zone. Romello Brown, making his collegiate debut,
totaled 18 yards on two rushing attempts to score his fi rst collegiate
touchdown to complete the scoring. Zak Bielecki had a game-best
10 tackles, and the Warrior defense totaled four sacks.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State rebounded from a last play setback
nine days ago with a solid 14-point fourth quarter to upend No. 13
Carson Newman by a 41-31 margin. The Warriors entered the contest
having suff ered seven consecutive losses since starting the 2013
season at 3-2. Desmond Martin set a career-high with 235 rushing
yards, the 13th highest total in school history and his total was the
second-highest mark ever allowed by the Eagles. Michael Johnson
recorded game-high totals of fi ve receptions for 65 yards along with
a late second quarter touchdown which gave the Warriors the lead
at intermission. Val Showers eclipsed the school record for kickoff
return yards in game with 191 yards including an 87-yard return for
a touchdown just moments after CNU had knotted the game at 10.
The previous mark of 177 was set by Tom Badalamenti in 1985 vs.
Ferris State. Despite totaling just three solo tackles, Gerren DuHart
had three pass break-ups all coming at key moments in the contest. It
was a back-and-forth contest that was tied at 7, 10, 17 and 24 before
Wayne State kicker Paul Graham connected on his second fi eld goal
giving the Warriors a 27-24 advantage just past the midpoint of the
third quarter. Less than two minutes later, Carson Newman took its
fi rst lead of the night as running back Andy Hibbett scored his fourth
touchdown of the game on a 57-yard pass play after tallying his fi rst
three scores on runs of 76, 18 and 1 yards. After the Warriors went
three-and-out, WSU’s defense allowed a couple of fi rst downs but
forced a punt that was returned 25 yards by Ron Brant, the longest
punt return by Wayne State since 2011. The Warriors regained the
lead with a six-play, 55-yard drive culminating in a six-yard scamper
by Martin, his second TD run of the game. Once again, the WSU
defense bent but did not break allowing three fi rst downs but forcing
another punt by the Eagles which went for a touchback. The Wayne
State off ense sealed the victory with a seven-play, 80-yard drive that
included four fi rst downs. Ethan Walsh had an 11-yard reception on a
second-and-eight, and Johnson later gained 22 yards on a jet sweep.
Martin fi nished off the drive with a six-yard touchdown run with 3:13
remaining. Marcell Jones recorded a game-high 10 tackles to lead
the Wayne State defense.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State allowed a 25-yard fi eld goal on the
game’s fi nal play to Michigan Tech’s Garrett Mead, his fourth fi eld
goal of the contest, to fall 18-17 to the Huskies in the season opener.
After Mead connected on a 23-yard fi eld goal to conclude the game’s
fi rst drive, the Warriors responded with a three-play, 69 yard drive
culminating in a 63-yard touchdown pass from Carl Roscoe to Michael
Johnson on a third-and-four play. Following an MTU punt, WSU went
78 yards with Paul Graham converting a 24-yard fi eld goal try for his
fi rst collegiate three pointer. The big play of the drive was a 58-yard
reception by Desmond Martin. Following another Huskie punt that
was downed at the WSU one-yard line early in the second quarter,
the game was delayed 58 minutes due to inclement weather. A three-
and-out for WSU led to another Mead fi eld goal to cut the Warrior
lead to 10-6 with 7:14 left before intermission. Neither team was able
to score the rest of the fi rst half. WSU led 170-153 in total off ense
through 30 minutes despite the Huskies holding a 21:27 to 8:33 edge
in time of possession. Wayne State garnered a pair of fi rst downs to
start the second half but the drive ended with a punt. Michigan Tech
drove 83 yards in nine plays with Mead connecting from 21 yards on
a fourth-and-goal. The third period ended with Wayne State holding
a slim 10-9 advantage. A Warrior drive that carried over into the
fourth quarter concluded with another touchdown toss from Roscoe
to Johnson, this one from seven yards on a third-and-goal. Graham’s
PAT increased WSU’s lead to 17-9 with 11:02 left. Wayne State’s
defense held on downs, before a bad exchange led to a lost fumble
near midfi eld. MTU capitalized with a four-play, 47-yard scoring drive
with Tyler Scarlett completing a 16-yard screen pass for a touchdown
to Charlie Leffi ngwell. Leffi ngwell’s two-point conversion run came
up just short on a nice tackle by Wayne State’s Valorian Cunningham
maintaining WSU’s two-point edge at 17-15 with 5:36 left. The
Warriors had an eight-play drive which used up 3:36 on the clock, but
the Huskies had exactly two minutes left and one timeout. Scarlett
engineered a 14-play drive covering 69 yards leading to Mead’s

GAME RECAP: Wayne State ended its three-game losing streak
with a 52-17 victory. The 52 points scored by the Warriors were the
most since a 55-0 win versus Tiffi n on Sept. 20, 2011. On the game’s
opening drive, Walsh drove inside the Wayne State 40 but a fake
punt was snuff ed out by Marcell Jones. Following a Warrior punt, on
the Cavaliers next play from scrimmage Anthony DeDamos forced
a fumble which was recovered by Jones and returned six yards to
the Walsh 15. Carl Roscoe found Trent Brodbeck for 13 yards, then
Desmond Martin gained the fi nal two yards. Walsh again drove
inside the Warrior 40, but Paul Kempe was hurried on fourth down
by Nores Fradi resulting in an incomplete pass. On the ninth play
of the ensuing drive, Paul Graham converted his 10th consecutive
fi eld goal. Following a three-and-out for Walsh, the Wayne State
off ense drove 71 yards in nine plays with Michael Johnson hauling
in a 43-yard touchdown pass from Roscoe on third-and-16. Johnson
also had a 17-yard catch on a third-and-six, while Roscoe scrambled
for 13 yards on a third-and-10. On the third play from scrimmage
for Walsh, Fradi again put the pressure on Kempe and his pass was
intercepted by James Howard for WSU’s fi rst interception of the season.
The Warriors went 33 yards in seven plays with Martin scoring from
a yard out. Doug Griffi n had three carries for 21 yards on the scoring
drive. Walsh was able to drive 52 yards just before intermission with
Michael Dudics making a 25-yard fi eld goal. The Warriors drove 75
yards in seven plays midway through the third quarter with Jay Hayes
crossing the goal line. The Cavaliers drove 55 yards but Jason Fracassa’s
second-and-goal pass was intercepted by Jamiil Williams. On the fi rst
play following the Walsh TD, Roscoe found Val Showers wide open
behind the secondary for a 73-yard touchdown pass. On the ensuing
drive by the Cavaliers, Fradi forced a fumble with Jones recovering at
the Warrior 40 and returning it 14 yards into Walsh territory. The
WSU defense recorded eight tackles for loss and forced fi ve turnovers.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State suff ered its third consecutive setback on
a fi eld goal in the fi nal 30 seconds. After each team turned the ball
over on its initial possession, the Warrior defense forced a three-and-
out and the off ense went 66 yards in eight plays with Desmond Martin
scoring. The Wildcats answered with a 78-yard drive culminating in a
20-yard fi eld goal. Wayne State’s next drive concluded with a career-
long 47-yard fi eld goal by Paul Graham. The WSU defense stopped a
fourth down pass and the off ense responded with an eight-play drive
as Graham made a 31-yard fi eld goal. The Wildcats scored their fi rst
touchdown on a 10-play, 58-yard drive. Wayne State moved down
the fi eld with the help of a 15-yard pass interference penalty plus a
16-yard reception by Trent Brodbeck on a third-and-13. Carl Roscoe
found Jamel Hicks over the middle and Hicks gained plenty of yards
after the catch to complete a 37-yard scoring play. On the fi rst play
from scrimmage after intermission, Val Showers went 33 yards on a
reverse, but WSU had to settle for a 44-yard fi eld goal by Graham.
NMU responded with a 62-yard scoring drive. The Warriors went
three-and-out, and Austin Young returned the punt for a TD to give
the hosts a 24-23 lead. Wayne State was unable to convert a fourth
down play following the kickoff , but the defense stepped up and
stopped a fourth down run. A halfback option pass on the next play
was intercepted by NMU leading to a 22-yard fi eld goal. The Warriors
were able to regain the lead at 30-27 as Michael Johnson scored on a
nine-yard reception on a third-and-seven play. The Wildcats knotted
the game at 30 four plays after an 84-yard kickoff return by Marcus
Tucker. Wayne State drove into NMU territory but a fake punt pass was
incomplete leading to a 12-play Wildcat drive concluding in a fi eld goal
by Ryan Laberge. WSU’s second down pass attempt went off the hands
of a Warrior receiver into the hands of a Wildcat. Nores Fradi had a
game-high 3.5 tackles for loss as did Anthony DeDamos. Brandon Lee
totaled a game-best nine tackles (6-3), which included two for loss.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State held Grand Valley State to just 17
points, tying the fewest points scored by the Lakers this season but
the Warrior off ense only generated a fi eld goal. On the opening drive
of the game, Carl Roscoe eluded the rush and completed a 33-yard
pass to Trent Brodbeck but the play was negated due to a holding
penalty. This drive as well as the next two possessions ended with
a punt. GVSU drove 48 yards in six plays with Joe Warner catching
a fi ve-yard touchdown pass from Heath Parling for the game’s fi rst
score. The Warrior off ense put together a six-play drive following a
58-yard kickoff return by Val Showers, but Doug Griffi n fumbled on
his fi fth carry of the drive on a fi rst-and-goal play. Late in the fi rst
period, a 44-yard punt by Paul Graham had Grand Valley State starting
a drive at its own 29. The Lakers went 71 yards in nine plays with Chris
Robinson scoring on a one-yard plunge on third-and-goal. On the fi rst
drive of the second half, the Warrior defense allowed a pair of fi rst
downs, but a 10-yard sack by Anthony DeDamos on GVSU’s fi rst play
in WSU territory preceded an incomplete pass and another sack. The
Laker punt was partially blocked with Jamel Hicks picking the ball up
at the Laker 38 and returning it 14 yards. After two runs by Desmond
Martin, Griffi n completed a seven-yard pass to Brodbeck for a fi rst
down. Griffi n fumbled on third down with the Lakers recovering.
The Wayne State defense rose to the occasion limiting Grand Valley
State to one fi rst down before forcing another punt. The Warriors
took over at their own 49 with Roscoe connecting on back-to-back
plays with Michael Johnson for 25 and 15 yards, respectively setting
up a fi rst-and-10 from the GVSU 11. Three straight incomplete passes
led to a 28-yard fi eld goal by Graham, his sixth consecutive made
three-pointer. Following the kickoff and along with a Laker holding
penalty, Grand Valley State started on its own 5-yard line. GVSU drove
80 yards in 12 plays with Joel Schipper making a 32-yard fi eld goal
attempt early in the fourth period. Neither team was able to score
in the fi nal 13 minutes. The teams combined for just 114 rushing
yards (85 for GVSU and 29 for WSU). The Lakers held a 256-103
advantage in passing yardage. The Warriors lost the turnover battle
5-1 and were just 1-of-3 in the red zone. Roscoe was 11-of-23 with
two interceptions, although one came on the fi nal play of the game.
Parling completed 17-of-28 passes for 256 yards but was sacked four
times. Johnson had a game-high six receptions for a team-best 49
yards. Jamie Potts totaled a game-high 81 receiving yards on four
catches. Nores Fradi recorded a game-high 14 tackles and added to
his GLIAC leading total of tackles for loss with another 2.5 TFL. Zak
Bielecki contributed 13 tackles, while Jake Carrizales, who entered the
game leading the GLIAC in sacks, assisted on three sacks for minus 12
yards vs. the Lakers. The Warrior defense recorded nine tackles for loss
in the contest with eight diff erent players being a part of the TFLs.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State had its three-game winning streak
snapped with the 26-23 loss. Following a missed 38-yard TU fi eld
goal attempt, Wayne State drove 79 yards in nine plays to grab a
7-6 halftime advantage. The Warriors accumulated fi ve of their
eight fi rst half fi rst downs on the scoring drive. Carl Roscoe had a
30-yard completion to Jamel Hicks allowing WSU to score the go-
ahead touchdown two plays later. Tiffi n returned the second half
kickoff a total of 34 yards including a reverse. On the fi rst play from
scrimmage, TU had a 56-yard touchdown reception. The Dragons
tried some trickery on the PAT but a pitchout from the center to
Jerry Brown was mishandled with Nores Fradi picking up the ball at
the WSU 11. Fradi returned the ball to the Warrior 38 before giving
a lateral to Gerren DuHart who took it the fi nal 62 yards for Wayne
State’s fi rst defensive extra point in nearly 10 years (Earl Carruthers
scored a defensive extra point at Michigan Tech on October 9, 2004).
On the ensuing possession with WSU trailing 12-9, the Warriors drove
across midfi eld but a fi ve-yard completion on a third-and-six preceded
a no gain rush on fourth down. Tiffi n proceeded to drive 58 yards in
fi ve plays to increase its lead to 19-9. After an exchange of punts,
Wayne State turned it over on downs following three consecutive
incomplete deep passes. However, on the very next play, a shotgun
snap was recovered by Sam Sillmon at the Dragon 26. Doug Griffi n
gained eight yards on fi rst down, and following a dropped pass,
Desmond Martin garnered the fi rst down. On the fi rst play of the
fourth quarter, Griffi n went 15 yards for the touchdown. The Warrior
defense forced a three-and-out, but a short punt into the wind was
mishandled by the WSU returner and the Dragons recovered at the
WSU 49. Eight plays later the visitors had a 26-16 lead. Wayne State
responded with a seven-play, 59-yard scoring drive pulling within
three (26-23) with 6:15 remaining. Griffi n carried the ball fi ve times
on the drive for 56 yards going untouched for the fi nal 15 yards.
WSU’s defense rose to the occasion and forced a three-and-out, but
the Warrior off ense took a sack on the fi rst play and had to punt. Once
again the defense answered by forcing the Dragons into minus nine
yards on three plays and into another punt. However, Wayne State’s
off ense had two incomplete passes, a sack and an incomplete pass
to turn the ball over on downs with 1:16 remaining.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State won all three phases of the game at
Findlay in posting a 43-10 triumph. Desmond Martin broke off a 48-
yard run on the second play of the game, but after a couple of negative
plays, the Warrior punt was downed at the UF 11. On Findlay’s fi rst
play, Verlon Reed scrambled after getting a low shotgun snap and was
forced out of bounds with the ball not coming completely outside the
goal line for a safety. Val Showers returned the free kick 21 yards to
the Warrior 48. Six consecutive carries by Martin netted 35 yards, and
even with an 11-yard completion from Carl Roscoe to Michael Johnson
on third-and-14, WSU had to settle for a 28-yard fi eld goal from Paul
Graham. The Oilers gained four yards on their fi rst series of the second
quarter, then Dustin Carlin blocked the punt with Jay Hayes picking up
the ball and going in for a touchdown. On Findlay’s ensuring drive, Zak
Bielecki picked off a third down pass for his fi rst career interception.
The Warriors drove 47 yards in seven plays with Graham converting
a 41-yard fi eld goal. It took UF just six plays to get on the scoreboard
as Chauncey Bridges scampered 50 yards on a third-and-two. Wayne
State began the second half with an onside kick that Majd Khytaz
recovered, however the Warriors were penalized for an illegal block.
On the next play, Khytaz’s short kickoff was mishandled with Brook
Higgins recovering. Three straight running plays, two by Martin
sandwiched around a 25-yard gain for Doug Griffi n, concluded with
Martin’s touchdown run. Later in the period, Marcell Jones made a
one-hand interception and took it back 26 yards for WSU’s fi rst pick six
since Gerren DuHart went 82 yards against Hillsdale on Oct. 6, 2012.
On Findlay’s last drive of the third quarter, Bielecki recorded his second
interception, giving the Warriors great fi eld position at the UF 47. WSU
used 5:11 on the clock and scored on the ninth play. Sean Guinane, in
his fi rst signifi cant playing time of the season, had two completions
on the drive for 15 yards, both to Johnson with Martin carrying the
ball the other seven plays. Defensively for Wayne State, Nores Fradi
had a team-best 11 tackles including 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble.
Jones contributed seven tackles (3-4) plus his pick six. James Howard
had four solo tackles and two pass break-ups in his fi rst career start.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State scored 21 points in the fourth quarter for
the 47-28 victory. Despite the fi nal score, it was the Warrior defense
that made plays and held the Storm off ense 175 yards below their
season average. Meanwhile, the WSU off ense set a season-best
with 574 yards including 349 on the ground. Desmond Martin ran
for a career-high 292 yards while Sean Guinane was 15-for-25 for a
career-best 225 yards and two touchdowns in just his fourth career
start. Michael Johnson collected his fourth 100-yard receiving game
of the season with Jamel Hicks posting his fi rst career 100-yard game.
Zak Bielecki led the defense with 12 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and
an interception. Nores Fradi totaled 11 tackles including a sack and
another 1.5 tackles for loss. WSU started the scoring just 2:11 into the
contest on a 53-yard jaunt by Martin. After a three-and-out by Lake
Erie, the Warriors drove 80 yards and on play 13 Graham converted
his fi rst fi eld goal of the afternoon. Wayne State held a 192-38 edge
in total off ense after the opening stanza. The Storm ended the next
WSU drive with an interception and scored fi ve plays later as the
GLIAC’s leading rusher Anthony Bilal went in from 38 yards out. Bilal
was held more than 40 yards below his per game rushing average.
The Warriors responded with an eight-play drive that only needed 37
yards following a 15-yard penalty on the Storm. The Guinane to Hicks
combo recorded the TD on a third-and-six pass completion. Lake Erie
pulled within three on the strength of a 17-play, 70-yard drive. On the
last possession of the fi rst half, Guinane engineered a 61-yard drive in
2:54 concluding with a fi eld goal by Graham. The fi rst seven drives of
the second half (4 by LEC, 3 by WSU) combined did not produce a fi rst
down by running or passing. Finally on drive eight, the Warriors went
81 yards in only fi ve plays. Martin had a two-yard TD run, on the play
following a 57-yard scamper. Lake Erie’s Bilal scored on a 12-yard run.
The Warriors restored their 12-point lead with Martin scoring. Once
again the Storm were able to chip away at the WSU advantage as
Mitchel Hokavar tossed a TD pass. The Wayne State off ense answered
with a 83-yard touchdown drive in only six plays. Martin gained 47
yards on the fi rst three plays, before Jay Hayes totaled 36 yards on the
next three plays which included a 25-yard touchdown run.

GAME RECAP: The Warriors rallied for 13 fourth quarter points
in recording a 20-13 triumph. Hillsdale scored on the game’s
opening possession driving 54 yards in nine plays with Steven Mette
converting a 43-yard fi eld goal attempt. WSU had two fi rst downs
on the ensuing drive but a fourth down pass completion was ruled
down with the receivers knee touching the ground on the reception.
After a three-and-out by the Chargers, the Warrior off ense went 73
yards in 10 plays with Jay Hayes scoring on a one-yard plunge on the
second play of the second quarter. The teams traded punts before HC
had a 8:05 drive which covered 71 yards in 17 plays concluding on a
four-yard touchdown pass from Mark LaPrairie to Mike Carter on a
third-and-goal with just 51 seconds remaining before intermission.
Mette’s PAT gave the visitors a 10-7 advantage. A fumble on WSU’s
second play from scrimmage put the Chargers in business at their own
47. After two completions for 35 yards followed by an incompletion,
Mette connected on a 35-yard fi eld goal attempt on the fi nal play of
the fi rst half giving Hillsdale a 13-7 lead at intermission. The Wayne
State defense was huge in the second half limiting HC to 89 yards
in 31 plays and if you take into account an 85-yard interception
return by Anthony DeDamos, the “positive” yardage is even less.
DeDamos’ return was the longest non-scoring interception return in
school history eclipsing an 89-year-old school mark set on October
4, 1925, by George Lester (75 yard return) against Ferris State. On
the fi rst drive of the third quarter, Graham missed his fi rst collegiate
fi eld goal attempt, after making 14 straight. The next four drives
(two from each team) ended in punts with only three combined fi rst
downs for the two squads. Hillsdale went 54 yards in 10 plays and on
a third-and-goal from the WSU seven, LaPrairie was intercepted by
DeDamos at the four. His return went all the way to the Hillsdale 11
before he was brought down. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty
on WSU pushed the ball back to the HC 26. Carl Roscoe completed a
six-yard pass to Michael Johnson on a third-and-four and three plays
later Roscoe scrambled for 12 yards for his fi rst collegiate rushing
touchdown on a third-and-eight play. Forcing the Chargers to use
all three timeouts after running plays, Wayne State’s third holder
of the season Jamel Hicks took the snap on a fi eld goal attempt and
rushed untouched down the right side for a 20-yard touchdown
with 1:30 remaining in the game. Graham’s consecutive PAT streak
ended at 42 as his attempt was blocked. Zak Bielecki and DeDamos
tied for game-high tackle honors with 12 each. Fradi fi nished with
nine tackles (4-5) including three for loss, which secured the national
lead in tackles for loss per game.

The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference began sponsoring football as a league sport in the
Fall of 1973 with three teams, Ferris State, Grand Valley State and Northwood. In 1974, Hillsdale joined
the league as the fourth football team. The conference expanded again in 1975 when Saginaw Valley
State started a football program and Wayne State joined the league. The number of GLIAC football teams
grew to seven in 1980 when Michigan Tech was added, though the Huskies left the league after the 1985
season. In 1987, Northwood left the league and was replaced by Northern Michigan.
After the 1989 season, the GLIAC dropped football as a sponsored sport. The six conference schools
sponsoring football, Ferris State, Grand Valley State, Hillsdale, Northern Michigan, Saginaw Valley State,
and Wayne State, joined the fi ve members of the Heartland Collegiate Conference, Ashland, Butler,
Indianapolis, St. Joseph’s, and Valparaiso, in forming the football-only Midwest Intercollegiate Football
Conference (MIFC), which began play in 1990.
The MIFC would change again for the 1993 season as two teams would leave and two teams would
join. Butler and Valparaiso left the conference, but Northwood rejoined and the College of St. Francis
(Ill.) was added. The league grew to 12 teams in 1994 with the addition of Michigan Tech and stayed at
12 teams until St. Joseph’s left after the 1995 season. In 1998, the league expanded to 14 teams with the
additions of Findlay, Mercyhurst, and Westminster, but would drop back to 13 teams with the departure
of St. Francis after the season.
Westminster departed after the 1999 season, leaving 12 teams. Gannon was added before the 2004
season, giving the league a 13-team roster.
After nine years of existence as one of the premier conferences in Division II football, the MIFC merged
as part of GLIAC on July 1, 1999. The GLIAC has earned the reputation as one of the toughest and deepest
conferences in Division II with a strong postseason history.
Three GLIAC teams made National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) playoff appearances.
Grand Valley State made it to the national semifi nals in 1978. Saginaw Valley State made three trips to
the NAIA playoff s (1979, 1983, 1984), posting a 2-3 mark. Hillsdale earned fi ve NAIA postseason berths as
a member of the GLIAC (1981, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1988), taking home the championship in 1985.
The fi rst team to represent the GLIAC in the Division II playoff s was Northern Michigan in 1987. The
Wildcats made the D-II semifi nals that season.
Grand Valley State started a three-year postseason run in 1989, though the Lakers failed to get out
of the fi rst round. Butler joined GVSU in the D-II playoff s in 1991, marking the fi rst year the league had
two teams participate in postseason play. Butler fell to the eventual national champion, Pittsburg State
in the fi rst round.
The 1992 Division II playoff s saw the fi rst GLIAC team make it past the opening round in league history.
Ferris State posted a fi rst-round win over Edinboro before falling to New Haven in the quarterfi nals. The
1992 season marked the beginning of a fi ve-year playoff run for the Bulldogs, with their best performance
coming in 1995 after a D-II semifi nal appearance. Grand Valley State made its fourth and fi fth D-II
postseason trips in 1994 and 1998, respectively. Ashland made its fi rst appearance in the playoff s as a
member of the GLIAC in 1997.
After being shut out of the playoff s in 1999, the GLIAC posted two teams in the 2000 tournament as
Northwood and Saginaw Valley State each made their fi rst D-II postseason appearances. The Timberwolves
claimed a fi rst-round victory over Indiana (Pa.) before falling to Bloomsburg in the quarterfi nals.
The 2001 season was historic for the league as two teams made it through the fi rst round of the playoff s.
Grand Valley State and Saginaw Valley State each posted opening-round wins and faced each other in the
national quarterfi nals. The Lakers won a shoot-out in Allendale, 33-30, and cruised to a semifi nal win over
Catawba. GVSU advanced to the championship game before falling to North Dakota, 17-14.
The Lakers redeemed themselves in 2002 by claiming the league’s fi rst Division II football national
championship. Grand Valley State defeated Valdosta State in the fi nals, 31-24. GVSU would repeat as
national champions in 2003. The Lakers knocked off North Dakota in that championship game, 10-3.
GLIAC co-champions Michigan Tech and Northwood, along with Grand Valley State, would earn playoff
berths in 2004. GVSU fell in the regional fi nals to North Dakota, 19-15.
The 2005 season saw more postseason success for the GLIAC. GVSU, SVSU, and Northwood each gained
postseason entrance. The Lakers and Cardinals battled for the Northwest Region title, but GVSU advanced,
24-17, and went on to defeat NW Missouri State, 21-17, in the Division II title game.
In 2006 both Northwood and Grand Valley State earned postseason berths. The Lakers ran the table
and meet NW Missouri State in the fi nals, claiming a 17-14 victory and winning the leagues’ fourth D-II
Championship. GVSU and Ashland earned playoff bids in 2007 and 2008, while 2009 saw Grand Valley
State, Hillsdale, and Saginaw Valley State in the D-II postseason. GVSU made an impressive run to the fi nal
before falling to NW Missouri State, 30-23.
In 2010, GVSU and Hillsdale earned D-II playoff berths with the Lakers falling in the Super Region
III Semifi nals. 2011 saw Wayne State and SVSU make the postseason with the Warriors making an
improbable run to the D-II fi nals before falling to Pittsburgh State, 35-21. WSU won four consecutive
road playoff games as the No. 6 seed in Super Region 3 claiming victories at St. Cloud State (48-38) in a
blizzard, 38-26 at Nebraska-Kearney, 31-25 at defending national champion Minnesota Duluth, followed
by a 21-14 triumph at unbeaten Winston-Salem State in a national semifi nal game televised on ESPN.
Ashland represented the Conference in the 2012 playoff s, losing to Midwestern State in the Super
Region IV semifi nals, 33-28.
The GVSU Lakers once again made a deep run in the 2013 NCAA Playoff s which started with a
triumph over GLIAC foe Saginaw Valley State. Ohio Dominican earned a fi rst-round by and made its fi rst
appearance in the tournament. The Panthers dropped a heartbreaker in Columbus to West Texas A&M,
34-27. GVSU swaggered all the way to the national semifi nals after taking out CSU-Pueblo on the road
34-30 and knocking off West Texas A&M in Allendale 35-28. Northwest Missouri State used their home
fi eld advantage to defeat the Lakers by a 27-13 fi nal score in the D-II semis.
After an exciting 2014 regular season, three GLIAC programs qualifi ed for the NCAA D-II Playoff s. Ohio
Dominican returned to the playoff s for the second straight season and took down Colorado Mines on the
road in impressive fashion to start the postseason, 34-23. Meanwhile, Angelo State stunned Michigan
Tech 42-41 in Houghton after a wild second half comeback from ASU bounced the Huskies at home. In
the regional semifi nals, Ohio Dominican dissected the unbeaten Ferris State attack and advanced in the
back-and-forth contest with a 46-33 victory on the road in Big Rapids. Unfortunately, the ODU run ended
in the next round as the Panthers fell behind early and nearly completed a major comeback on the road
before falling 31-28 to the eventual national champions, CSU-Pueblo.
Though many teams have made history for the GLIAC, the league can also boast upon individual
accomplishments. In 2002, GVSU quarterback Curt Anes became the GLIAC’s fi rst Harlon Hill Trophy winner
as the Division II Player of the Year. Anes led the Lakers to consecutive championship game appearances,
helping GVSU to the national title in 2002. The GLIAC had its second Harlon Hill winner when Wayne State
running back Joique Bell claimed the honor in 2009. In 2015, Ferris State quarterback Jason Vander Laan
took home the D-II Heisman equivalent after a record-breaking year for the Bulldogs.

After the 1989 season, the six GLIAC schools which sponsored football joined the
Heartland Collegiate Conference (HCC), a football-only conference, in forming the Midwest
Intercollegiate Football Conference (MIFC). The GLIAC dropped football as a sponsored sport
and the HCC was disbanded. Prior to the start of the 1999 season, the MIFC merged into the
GLIAC and football became a sponsored sport.

The Meijer awards are issued after the Fall,

Privett was a semifi nalist for the 2013 National
Football Foundation National Scholar-Athlete
Award as well as the 2013 William V. Campbell

In 2013, he was named to the AFCA Good Works

Privett was voted to the 2011 Hansen’s Football

maintained a 3.67 cumulative grade-point average
while majoring in kinesiology (pre-occupational

Running back Joique Bell became the fi rst former Wayne
State University player to participate in the Senior Bowl. In
January of 2010, he rushed for 17 yards on eight carries, but
recorded a fi rst down on three of his rushing attempts.
Four of his carries came on the North’s initial drive of the
game setting up a fi eld goal.
Four members of the class of 2014 participated in the All-
American Bowl Game at AT&T Stadium in Dallas last December.
Defensive linemen Justice Akuezue and Sam Sillmon, along
with linebacker Marcell Jones and running back Jay Hayes
competed with Sillmon receiving the Jim Marshall Award as
the Best Defensive Lineman in the contest.
Ed Viverette and Toney Davis, both seniors in 2013, played in
the National Bowl Game in Miami, Fla. Davis totaled 94 rushing
yards on nine carries with a touchdown, while Viverette made
numerous tackles.
In January of 2012, off ensive tackle Joe Long played in the
87th East-West Shrine Game®. The Game was held at Tropicana
Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. Long played both off ensive tackle
and served as a long snapper in the contest.
In January of 2011, cornerback Stan Thornton played in
the Division II Cactus Bowl. He tallied two tackles and a pass
break-up as his Red Storm squad recorded a 28-6 triumph
over the Blue Devils.
Thornton had a pass break-up of Hillsdale quarterback
Troy Weatherhead’s attempt on a third-and-two play on the
game’s opening drive.
In the Blue Devils’ fi rst drive of the second quarter, Thornton
tackled a wide receiver for a fi ve-yard gain on a third-and-six
play. He also recorded a solo tackle in the fourth quarter.
The Red Storm defense limited the Blue Devils to 4-of-15
on third and fourth down plays during the contest.
Thornton’s participation marked the 13th by a Wayne State
player in the Division II All-Star game.
The Warriors had two seniors from the 2008 campaign
participate in post-season bowl games. Both safety Dante Dunn
and linebacker Tristan Black played in the East Coast Bowl, while
Dunn also saw action in the 2009 Cactus Bowl.
Dunn was in on three tackles for the North, while Black
made two tackles at the East Coast Bowl.
In the Cactus Bowl, Dunn led the East defense with a forced
fumble and a fumble recovery and eight tackles, including
one for loss.
Running back Craig Duppong participated in the 2003
Whataburger Cactus Bowl held in Kingsville, Texas, on the
campus of Texas A&M University-Kingsville.
Duppong led the East squad in rushing with 33 yards on
12 carries. On his fi rst carry of the game, on a fourth-and-one,
Duppong gained three yards. His 11-yard run on the fi rst drive
of the second half set up the East’s squad fi rst points. On a third-
and-two rush in the fourth quarter, Duppong gained three yards
and another fi rst down. In overtime, he had a fi ve-yard carry
on a second-and-10 that led to an East fi eld goal and a 27-24
lead. The West squad threw a 35-yard touchdown pass on its
fi rst play in the extra session for a 30-27 win.
The year before, WSU senior wide receiver Pierre Brown
participated in the 2002 Whataburger Cactus Bowl. Brown had
four receptions for 42 yards for the East squad.
Formerly known as the Snow Bowl, the Cactus Bowl used an
East/West format until the 2011 game with teams comprised
of Division II Players.
Huston Julian played in the 2001 Cactus Bowl following
the completion of the 2000 season.
“This was just an amazing experience,” said Julian. “It was
nice to put on the pads once again and play the game that I
love. There was great support from the community for the
game and it was an unbelievable atmosphere to be around. It
was nice to be a celebrity for a week.”
After the end of the 1997 campaign, Tony Hawk and Derek
Lindsay both participated in the 1998 contest. The previous
year Ken Johnson was selected, while Gary Ruttan played in
the 1996 game. Matt Carey and Joe Gough each participated
in the 1995 Snow Bowl.
The inaugural NCAA Division II All-Star game was held on
January 6, 1994, at the FargoDome in Fargo, North Dakota.
Wayne State linebacker Tom Beer was one of six players
selected from the MIFC to participate in the inaugural Snow
Bowl.
The East Coast Bowl is an annual college All-Star football
game played the Saturday following Thanksgiving at Historic
Cameron Field in Petersburg, Va.
The game is cosponsored by the City of Petersburg and
the National Football Foundation/College Hall of Fame and all
revenue generated is used to award a scholarship for a high
school senior who plans to play football on the Division I-AA,
II or III level. Aside from having the opportunity to showcase
their ability in front of professional scouts, players will also
do inspirational visits to community centers, hospitals and
convalescent centers.

The Wayne State University Department of Athletics is committed
to the academic foundation of the Warrior student-athletes, their
professional development and community involvement. Programs
have been implemented to improve academic performance and
retention in order to deliver success in the classroom. During the
2014-2015 academic calendar year nearly 60% of the Wayne State
student-athlete body received a 3.0+ Grade Point Average at full
time enrollment status.
The Wayne State football program had 26 student-athletes receive
GLIAC All-Academic team recognition during the 2014 season. Under
the direction of head football coach Paul Winters, football student-
athletes participate in a daily study table that emphasizes time
management, classroom readiness, test taking strategies, tutorial
assistance and study group sessions. Dr. Maria Sepulveda of the
athletic department supervises the football study table sessions.
Football is prevalent in the community through involvement
associated with the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Two
members from each of the 18 Wayne State sports serve on the
committee in eff orts to build leadership and a strong relationship
with the surrounding community. Joining the entire student-athlete
body, the football team assists with fund raising for the Make-A-Wish
Foundation, generating resources through canned food and clothing
drives, volunteering at local soup kitchens, and mentoring programs.
Four members of the 2007 Wayne State University football
team were selected for the 2008 NFF Hampshire Honor Society. The
announcement was made by the National Football Foundation (NFF)
& College Hall of Fame.
Selected from WSU were seniors Guye Goodlow, Frank Lietke, Dale
Knuth and Kenny Schmidt. The four honorees were the most for any
GLIAC school.
For the 2008 football season, Wayne State’s Andrew Bates
was one of two GLIAC players inducted into the Hampshire Honor
Society. The following year both Joe Claiborne and Bruno Shkreli
were inducted, while Matt Faulkner received this recognition for the
2010 football campaign. In 2011-12, WSU had the most inductees
of any GLIAC school and any college in the State of Michigan with
six. Four members of the 2012 senior class received induction into
the Hampshire Honor Society with three more from the class of 2013
being added to the list. Last spring, two off ensive linemen in Thom
Box and Ben Walker were named to the Hampshire Honor Society.
Qualifi cations for membership in the NFF Hampshire Honor
Society include:
* Being a starter or a signifi cant substitute in one’s last year of
eligibility at an accredited NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, Football
Championship Subdivision, Division II, Division III, or an NAIA college
or university;
* Achieving a 3.2 cumulative grade point average throughout
entire course of undergraduate study; and
* Meeting all NCAA-mandated progress towards degree
requirements.
A total of 838 players from 267 schools qualifi ed for membership
in the society’s eighth year, marking the highest school participation
in the history of the program, which began in 2007.
The NFF Hampshire Honor Society capitalizes on the NFF’s current
National Scholar-Athlete program, greatly expanding the number
of scholar-athletes the NFF can recognize each year and further
strengthening the organization’s leadership role in encouraging
academic performance by the student-athletes who play football at
the more than 700 college and universities nationwide. Jon F. Hanson,
the chairman and founder of The Hampshire Companies, provided an
endowment to launch the NFF Hampshire Honor Society in 2007. He
made the contribution as part of his legacy to the organization after
serving as NFF chairman from 1994-2006. Each of the 703 players
awarded with membership in this year’s Honor Society will receive
a certifi cate commemorating the achievement.
Gary Schultz was a 1971 CoSIDA Academic All-American.
GUY NAMED TO
AFCA GOOD WORKS TEAM
The two 11-man teams, a Division I-A team and a
combined team from NCAA Football Championship
Subdivision, Divisions II, III and the NAIA, honor
players for their dedication and commitment to
community service. The AFCA has been selecting the
Good Works Team since 1997. From 1992-1996, the
Good Works Team was chosen by the College Football
Association. When the CFA disbanded in 1997, the
AFCA began selecting the teams.
Alan Guy’s selection in 2007 marked the fi rst time a
WSU football player has earned Good Works honors.
Alan Guy was a 2007 AFCA Good Works Team Selection.

1956.
Home games were played at University of Detroit from
1944 until 1953 with a few home games at Keyworth
Stadium in 1946, 1947 and 1949. In 1954, home games
