SEAN McDONNELL FILEHEAD COACH SEAN McDONNELL

Sean McDonnell, a 1978 University of New Hampshire graduate, enters his 14th season as the head coach of his alma mater with a career record of 96-62. Under his mentorship, the Wildcats have qualified for the NCAA Division I FCS postseason for eight straight seasons, the longest streak in the nation, and the ‘Cats have been ranked in the Top 25 for 112 consecutive polls, the second-longest streak in FCS football which dates back to Sept. 13, 2004.

The 2011 Wildcats matched a school record for the second straight year by knocking off five ranked opponents en route to an 8-4 mark, including 6-2 in the CAA. The ‘Cats put a bow on their rivalry with Massachusetts by knocking off the Minutemen, 27-21, in the second Colonial Clash at Gillette Stadium, which was also the 74th and final scheduled meeting between the longtime rivals. UNH reclaimed the Brice-Cowell Musket with a 30-27 defeat of Maine in the regular-season finale and came within a blocked PAT of forcing overtime in a playoff loss at Montana State. Junior linebacker Matt Evans became the first Wildcat to ever be named the nation’s top defensive player when he won the Buck Buchanan Award, and senior

quarterback Kevin Decker was crowned the CAA Offensive Player of the Year. In 2010, McDonnell’s Wildcats collected victories against five ranked opponents, a University record, en route to an 8-5 campaign. UNH advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA postseason for the sixth time in seven years after dispatching Bethune-Cookman, 45-20, in a second-round encounter before suffering a quarterfinal loss at eventual national championship game participant Delaware, 16-3. McDonnell was feted as the 2010 Division I FCS Coach of the Year by the New England Football Writers, his third such honor (2005, ’08). During the course of the ’10 campaign, the ‘Cats earned their 12th straight home victory –a school record- by shutting out No. 11 Richmond, 17-0, on Homecoming. Two weeks later, UNH made history by topping No. 12 UMass, 39-13, in the inaugural Colonial Clash at Gillette Stadium. The game was witnessed by 32,848 fans, the largest football crowd in CAA history. UNH finished 10-3 in 2009 and won its second straight CAA North Division championship. The Wildcats continued to be giant killers by knocking off an FBS opponent for the fifth straight time, securing a hard-fought 23-16 triumph at Ball State. Previous FBS opponents to feel the wrath of the Wildcats during the amazing upset run were Army (2008), Marshall (’07), Northwestern (’06) and Rutgers (’04). UNH was the only team to defeat eventual FCS national champion Villanova (28-24) on Homecoming. The Wildcats also posted an impressive win on the road at McNeese State, defeating the Cowboys, 49-13, in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. New Hampshire notched a 10-3 record in 2008, including a defeat of Southern Illinois in the first round of the NCAAs before a quarterfinal-round setback at Northern Iowa. UNH finished the season ranked No. 7 in most national polls, and McDonnell was honored as the New England FCS Coach of the Year for the second time . In 2007, the Wildcats were 7-5 overall and just narrowly missed upsetting No. 1 Northern Iowa in the first round of the NCAAs, losing on a last-minute TD, 38-35, at the UNI Dome. The Wildcat offense, ranked 16th in the nation, averaged over 400 yards per contest. The Wildcats were ranked as high as No. 1 in the nation in 2006 and finished the season ranked sixth after de-feating Hampton in the first round (41-38) of the NCAAs. Among the regular-season highlights was senior All-America wide receiver David Ball making history by surpassing legendary Jerry Rice with 58 career TD receptions and junior quarterback Ricky Santos claiming the Walter Payton Award as the FCS football national player of the year. In 2005, McDonnell was honored as the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year by The Sports Network after leading his Wildcats to a record-breaking 11-2 season, an Atlantic 10 Championship, a second straight NCAA appearance in the I-AA quarterfinals and the country’s No. 1 ranking at the end of the regular season. The Wildcats played host to two nationally-televised NCAA postseason games on ESPN at Cowell Stadium, beating Colgate in the first round before succumbing to Northern Iowa in the NCAA quarterfinals. McDonnell’s hard work rebuilding the program paid off in 2004 with a 10-3 overall record and a 6-2 mark in the Atlantic 10, which earned the team the Northern Division championship and a bid to the NCAA I-AA Championships for the first time since 1994. The ‘Cats advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time in the history of the program by win-ning its first-ever NCAA contest under McDonnell, a 27-23 upset at Georgia Southern. McDonnell was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year and was selected District Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). In 2003, UNH began turning the corner by winning three of its last four contests, including an upset victory over nationally-ranked Maine. The team’s 5-7 record could have easily been above .500, as the ‘Cats narrowly lost to No. 1 Delaware on a missed field goal in the closing seconds, and UNH was driving for a potential game-winning TD late at Division I-A Central Michigan before running out of time. In 2002, McDonnell’s offense was one of the most prolific in I-AA football and averaged 449.2 yards per contest and 36.7 ppg. UNH finished with a 4-7 overall record in 2001. In 2000, the Wildcats were ranked as high as 23rd in the nation and knocked off three top-25 opponents. UNH opened the campaign with a 4-0 record, its best start since 1977, and finished the season with a 6-5 record. McDonnell was named the Gridiron Club Of Greater Boston College Head Coach Of The Year. In his rookie season, McDonnell led the Wildcats to a 5-6 overall record and oversaw a wide-open offensive attack that led the Atlantic 10 with an average of 457.3 yards per game. McDonnell was named the 19th head coach of the UNH football program April 22, 1999. McDonnell replaced legendary head coach Bill Bowes, who retired after 27 years as the mentor of the Wildcats. McDonnell served eight seasons as a Wildcat assistant and completed his fifth year as the team’s offensive coordi-nator in 1998. McDonnell rejoined the Wildcats as an assistant coach before the 1991 spring camp and worked with the QBs and receivers for his first two seasons. In 1997, McDonnell was named the recipient of “The College Assistant Coach Award” by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston in recognition of his quality of performance, loyalty and longevity. A native of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., McDonnell was a standout defensive back for UNH. He started for the 1975 and 1976 Yankee Conference championship teams and came back to start for the 1978 squad.

John LYONSPennsylvania ‘74Defensive Coordinator / DB2nd year at UNH

This season marks John Lyons’ second as de-fensive coordinator/DB coach for the Wildcats.

In Lyons’ first season at the helm, junior LB Matt Evans won the Buck Buchanan Award as the nation’s top defensive player –the first Wildcat to ever accomplish that feat. As the head coach at Dartmouth, Lyons earned 60 career victories (sec-ond-most in school history) from 1992-2004. His Big Green teams won two Ivy League championships (1992, 1996), including a perfect 10-0 season in ’96 when he was named the Division I N.E. Coach of the Year by the Gridiron Club of Boston. Lyons worked at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N.H., where he served as football coach from 2005-10 and A.D. from 2008-10.

2012 SEASON PREVIEWThe University of New Hampshire football program enters the 2012 season as owners of the nation’s longest active streak of NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff appearances with eight. The Wildcats finished the 2011 cam-paign with an overall record of 8-4, a 6-2 mark in the CAA and the No. 11 ranking in The Sports Network/Fathead.com season-ending Top 25. The ‘Cats had their season end in heart-breaking fashion, 26-25, in the second round of the NCAAs at Montana State University when a blocked PAT with six seconds remaining dashed the hopes of overtime mere moments after senior quarterback Kevin Decker’s improbable 29-yard TD pass to wide receiver Justin Mello in the back right corner of the end zone.

QUARTERBACKSUNH turns the page after bidding farewell to Decker, the co-captain, CAA Offensive Player of the Year and team most valuable player who threw for 3,272 yards, the third most in school single-season history, during his one memorable year as the starter. Now the competition is wide open to determine his replacement. Senior James Brady (6-0, 210) held a slight advantage over sophomore Andy Vailas (6-2, 187) following spring camp, with redshirt freshman Sean Goldrich (6-3, 205)also vying for an opportunity to win the starting job. Brady, who gained valuable playing time during two seasons at Georgetown prior to transferring to New Hampshire, went 13 of 17 for 300 yards in the spring Blue-White Game and has the edge in terms of experience. He threw for 690 yards and three TDs during his freshman season with the Hoyas in 2008 before seeing action in three more games as a sophomore in ’09. Last season, Brady played a very limited role as Decker’s backup, completing one of two passes for six yards in the season-opener at Toledo. Vai-las raced for a 90-yard TD in the Blue-White Game last spring while completing 2 of 7 passes for 18 yards and a score. The Bedford, N.H., native completed 3 of 4 passes for 18 yards in two games as Decker’s understudy last season. Goldrich has a season of learning the offense under his belt; the signal caller has a winning track record, evidenced by his 25-4 mark as start-ing QB at Notre Dame High School in West Haven, Conn. In the Blue-White Game, Goldrich went 10 of 15 for 147 yards and a touchdown.

RUNNING BACKSThe running back position boasts nearly as much experience as the QB post lacks, with all four of last season’s top RBs re-turning to the backfield this season. Senior co-captain Dontra Peters (5-11, 197) is the incumbent at tailback. For the second straight year Peters led the team in carries (117), yards (595) and rushing yards/game (54.1) while finding the end zone seven times. The Annapolis, Md., native was also the backfield’s top receiving threat with 27 receptions for 174 yards. Sophomore Nico Steriti (5-11, 214) proved capable when called upon, highlighted by a career day in a win against Maine when he rumbled for 150 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. The Toms River, N.J., native saw action in all 12 games, chalking

up 370 yards on 65 carries to pace the team with 5.7 yards/rush, including a team season-high 87-yard TD rush at Toledo. H-back Chris Setian (5-10, 235) specialized as the Wildcats’ between-the-tackles battering ram, pounding his way to 338 yards on 80 carries with three TDs. The junior tacked on 15 receptions for 125 yards and a TD and even registered 11 tack-les, nine solo, with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery on special teams. Sophomore Jimmy Owens (5-8, 211) looks to gain a stronger foothold among this deep corps of RBs in ’12. Owens played sparingly in his initial season with five carries for 13 yards. Granite-Staters Jim Earley (5-10, 179), a Bishop Brady product, and Mike Kelly (5-9, 190), a Bishop Guertin grad, round out the Wildcat ball-carriers.

WIDE RECEIVERSA talented and deep receiving corps, buoyed by a pair of All-CAA members, should ease the transition of UNH’s new start-ing quarterback. Sophomore R.J. Harris (6-0, 190/Second Team) and senior Joey Orlando (5-11, 194/Third Team) were a dynamic duo last season. Harris burst upon the scene en route to a place on the College Sports Journal All-Freshman Team. He nabbed 50 receptions and led the ‘Cats with 714 receiving yards, 14.3 yards/catch, 64.9 receiving yards/game, and seven TDs, which tied for the CAA lead. He recorded four 100-yard receiving games, highlighted by a career-best 190 yards and 66-yard TD reception against Villanova, and was a two-time CAA Rookie of the Week. Orlando paced New Hampshire with 54 receptions as the only WR to start all 12 games. The two-year starter was on the receiving end of three TDs, racked up 679 receiving yards and had a career day in his hometown

2012 SEASON PREVIEWof Bethlehem, Pa., with 10 catches, 166 yards, two TD grabs and a 56-yard punt return for a TD in an overtime triumph against Lehigh. Mello (6-0, 217), in addition to his clutch grab at Montana State, totaled 23 receptions for 416 yards and five TDs, second most on the team. The reliable target notched five multi-catch games, including a career-high 60-yard scoring grab against Holy Cross. Sophomore Jimmy Giansante (6-2, 198), who started two games, is primed to take on a larger role in the receiving game after collecting three TD catches among his 11 receptions, and junior Tim Farina (5-9, 168), who was honored with the Todd Walker Teammate Award in May, also hopes to join the fray as a veteran presence. Joining this collec-tion is fleet-footed redshirt freshman Jared Allison (5-8, 164) looking to make an immediate impact.

TIGHT ENDSWith the departure of senior Sean Cullen, the battle for the starting spot rests between sophomores Brian Ciccone (6-3, 248) and Harold Spears (6-4, 245). Spears (one catch-18 yards) missed most of the ’11 season after suffering a leg injury in September that opened the door for Ciccone (one catch-two yards) to transition back from tight end after playing as a de-fensive end for the first two games. Mike Mitchell (6-3, 251), a sophomore, and Matt Murray (6-2, 257), a junior, enter camp with visions of climbing the depth chart with another year of seasoning under their belts, while redshirt freshman Ekene Nwokoye (6-5, 216) also will get an opportunity to compete for playing time.

OFFENSIVE LINEAll five starters, plus two key reserves, remain intact, making this unit potentially the strongest on the team. Junior Seamus O’Neill (6-6, 270) earned a berth on the All-CAA Third Team after starting all 12 games at left tackle. He’ll once again pair up with left guard and co-captain Chris Zarkoskie (6-1, 286), who is preparing for his third year as a starter. Sophomore Mike Coccia (6-3, 290) won the competition at center last season and proceeded to start all 12 games in his first collegiate campaign. Junior Ricky Archer (6-2, 278) parlayed his first season as a the starting right guard into a spot on both the FCS All-New England Team and the All-CAA Second Team, and senior Mickey DiLima (6-4, 313) will be looking to earn the nod at right tackle for a third consecutive season. Beyond the starters rests an impressive collection of backups looking to take on more definitive roles this season. Senior Walter McCarthy (6-5, 272) and sophomore Rob Bowman (6-5, 307) both played significant snaps at right tackle last season and will be part of the mix again in ’12. Returnees Alex Blane (6-4, 291) and Sean Ryan (6-2, 286) will vie for higher positions on the depth chart with a slew of talented newcomers: Cameron Finn (6-2, 280), Austin Heter (6-4, 261), Zach Hundertmark (6-4, 276) and George Kallas (6-2, 310).

DEFENSIVE LINEA front four that was experienced on the edges and young in the middle takes on the opposite look this season. Gone are co-captain Brian McNally, an All-CAA, All-New England and ECAC First Team All-Star defensive end, and James Jenkins, the Jack French Unsung Hero award winner and two-year starter at DE. The bookends combined for 71 tackles and 11

2012 SEASON PREVIEWsacks last season. The departure of the senior tandem should be offset by the return of junior ends Jay Colbert (6-1, 262) and Cody Muller (6-2, 250), both of whom are geared up to return to the forefront after missing the ‘11 season recovering from injuries. Also looking to fill the void will be sophomore Robbie Zauck (6-2, 250) and senior Randi Vines (6-3, 261), who will be joined by newcomers Danny Riley (6-4, 256) and Dab Ukwuani (6-3, 240). The defensive tackle position features a group of experienced players that should be very effective in plugging the middle of the line. Jared Smith (6-3, 300) is expected to remain a stalwart at DT, a position he has helped fortify the past two seasons. The senior ranked second among all UNH linemen with 43 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, a season ago. Fellow tackle Sean McCann (6-2, 275) is back in the fold after starting 10 games, with 27 tackles and a sack, during his sophomore campaign. Junior Jimmy Vailas (6-3, 256) will also be counted upon to once again provide depth at that spot, along with sophomore Matt Kaplan (6-1, 291), who collected 15 tackles, nine solo, with 1.5 sacks as part of the rotation last season. Classmate Tim Johnson (6-2, 284) also saw plenty of action last season and should be an integral part of the D-line once again. Look for redshirt freshmen Rashid Armand (6-0, 307), Jullian Turner (6-0, 306) and Ryan Welch (6-3, 273) to also battle for playing time.

LINEBACKERTo suggest expectations are high for this group would be a massive understatement. Both incumbent MLBs are senior co-captains entering their third year as starters, and one of them –Matt Evans (6-0, 226)- is seeking an encore on the heels of winning the Buck Buchanan Award as the nation’s top defensive

player last season. Evans, who became the first player in school history to earn that prestigious honor, was tabbed a consensus All-America by such outlets as the Walter Camp Football Foun-dation, Phil Steele, The Sports Network/Fathead.com, College Sports Madness, Beyond Sports College Network to go along with winning the Gold Helmet Award as New England’s FCS player of the year. The Hanover, Mass., native paced the squad with 165 tackles (No. 2 nationally), snared three interceptions, including two pick-sixes, recorded two sacks, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. With 334 career tackles, he is ranked fifth all-time at UNH and is just 100 tackles shy of the school’s No. 1 spot. Though overshadowed by his acclaimed classmate, Alan Buzbee (6-3, 238) has proven to be a consistent force in his own right. The Chester, N.J., native started all 12 games last season and ranked third on the team with 88 tackles, six tackles for loss, one sack, one INT, one fumble recovery and a team-leading five pass breakups. His leadership both on and off the field should make him an integral part of the Wildcats’ 2012 success. Shane McNeely (6-2, 243) was one of only two true freshmen to see action in 2011, which demonstrated his quick assimilation to the defense. The native of Whitehall, Pa., registered at least one tackle in each of the nine games in which he appeared and notched a fumble recovery. Junior Steve Collister (5-10, 249) and senior Michael Bradley (6-2, 229)provide depth and experience to the linebacking corps, while sophomore Damien Francis (6-0, 211) and redshirt freshman Akil Anderson (6-1, 197) will seek to open some eyes with an impressive camp.

2012 SEASON PREVIEWSAFETYNew Hampshire’s 4-2-5 defense emphasizes the importance of the safety position, employing a ‘free’, ‘strike’ and ‘whip’ safety. Chris Beranger (5-11, 195) capitalized on his first season as the first-string free safety by starting all 12 games and becoming one of the CAA’s most potent defensive backs. The Winthrop, Mass., native compiled 142 tackles, the fourth most in school history. He ranked third in the CAA and ninth in the nation with 11.8 tackles/game and led the ‘Cats in tackles seven times. Beranger posted double-digit stops in eight games, tallied an interception, a sack, two forced fumbles and tied for team-high distinction with five pass breakups. A year ago, Manny Asam (6-0, 184)was making the transition from wide receiver to defensive back. Now the junior is entrenched as the starting strike safety coming off a season that saw him record 75 tackles while starting all 12 contests. The Bloomfield, N.J., native notched three interceptions, added four pass breakups, a sack and a fumble recovery. The whip safety job is up for grabs following the graduation of Rod Walker. Tre Williams (6-3, 194) is the most experienced of the candidates to step into that role. The Syracuse, N.Y., native battled through injuries to rack up 20 tackles, 17 solo, in eight games. Nick Cefalo (6-2, 190) is back in the mix after earning playing time in five games as a true freshman in ’11, and competition should be fierce among sophomore Tim Pike (5-10, 199) and redshirt freshmen Khy-heem Finley (5-10, 193) and Keith Parkinson (6-1, 191) to gain a stronger foothold on the depth chart.

CORNERBACKJunior Chris Houston (5-9, 170) took a major stride forward in 2011 by leading the Wildcats with six interceptions as the starting ‘field’ cornerback for all 12 contests. The Harrisburg,

Pa., native snatched five picks in the final four games of the season and concluded the year with 57 tackles, including 43 unassisted stops, which ranked tops among CBs. Sophomore Steven Thames (6-0, 181) served as the primary backup at corner last season and, with the departure of Kyle Flemings, will be looking to fill that vacancy opposite Houston in ’12. The Fort Washington, Md., native totaled seven tackles in eight games, seeing most of his action on special teams. D.J. Moss (5-10, 166), Kalil Bailey (5-10, 172) and Lamar Edmonds (5-10, 165) lead the redshirt freshmen who will be in the mix for significant playing time.

KICKING/PUNTINGJunior Mike MacArthur (5-10, 184) is geared up for his third year as starting place-kicker and will enter the fall looking to get the nod at punter for the second consecutive season. The All-CAA Second Team kicker went 15-for-18 (83.3%) with a long kick of 47 yards last season while converting 40 of 43 PATs for a team-leading 85 points. The North Hampton, N.H., native averaged 38.3 yards per punt with a long of 59 yards. Among those who will get a closer look as potential backups are junior Nick Pellino (6-1, 208), sophomores Brad Prasky (6-1, 185) and Anthony Guidice (5-8, 164) and redshirt fresh-man Christian Breda (6-2, 181).

KICK/PUNT RETURNSPeters ranked third in the CAA with 24.6 yard per kickoff return and tied a school record with 31 kick returns (Corey Graham, 2005) last season. He returns along with both Steriti (13 returns-278 yards) and Harris (13 returns-212 yards), who bring experience to that facet of the game. Orlando is in line for a second straight year as the primary punt-return specialist a season after averaging 10.6 yards/return, highlighted by 56-yard TD at Lehigh.

Two National Championships, four NCAA Championship game appearances, eight NCAA semifinal appearances and more than 30 postseason wins in five years under the CAA Football ban-ner...Unprecedented numbers in terms of Football Championship Subdivision success. CAA Football raised the profile of what was once the Yankee Conference and later the Atlantic 10 Confer-ence when it took the reins of the league in 2007. Now five years into the CAA’s leadership the league has cemented itself as an FCS power conference in terms of on-the-field success, television exposure, marketability and success of its players at the next level. CAA Football may have not been represented on the day of the 2012 NCAA Championship game, but it was certainly recognized on the eve of the contest. UNH linebacker Matt Evans, Towson head coach Rob Ambrose and his rookie running back Terrance West helped CAA Football take home three of the four top national honors from The Sports Network. Evans, a junior in 2011, became the league’s third Buck Buchanan National Defensive Player of the Year. Ambrose earned the league’s sixth Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award and West was the inaugural recipient of the Jerry Rice National Freshman of the Year honor. Towson logged one of the best turnarounds in all of college football, improving from a one-win campaign in 2010 to a 9-3 overall mark and the CAA Football outright league championship in 2011. The Tigers, picked to finish last in the league’s preseason poll, finished 7-1 against league foes and ended 2011 ranked No. 9 in the country. Towson’s CAA Football championship made it one of five CAA Football programs to earn a berth in the NCAA Championship field, a mark no other FCS conference has ever equaled. James Madison and Old Dominion each garnered first-round playoff victories, helping CAA Football make up five of the final 16 teams in the NCAA’s second round. Maine went on the road and topped perennial power Appalachian State in the second round, but the remaining four (James Madison, UNH, Old Dominion and Towson) all stumbled. The Black Bears’ season ended the next weekend when it lost at Georgia Southern in the NCAA quarterfinal round. Richmond gave the league its ninth win over a BCS/FBS opponent in the last five years when it upset Duke, 23-21, to open the season. CAA Football has won 17 contests against the upper level of major college football in the last 10 years. The league’s regular-season non-conference success was never better than in 2011, finishing 19-2 (.905) in matchups against FCS opponents outside of CAA Football. Beginning in 2012, CAA Football will kick off a five-year agreement the Colonial Athletic Association inked with the NBC Sports Group in February. The broadcast agreement will provide CAA Football a minimum of five national television broadcasts on the NBC Sports Network and continue its regional television coverage with an additional 13 broadcasts using the Comcast SportsNet regional networks. The CAA and CAA Football is the first collegiate athletic conference to sign a broadcast agreement with the NBC Sports Network, which launched January 2, 2012. The league has earned 80 total playoff berths, including 37 in the last 10 seasons. Getting into the playoffs isn’t where the success stops, as evidenced by 52 playoff wins since 2002. CAA Football has continued to make its presence felt at the national level by placing eight teams in the national semifinal round over the last five seasons and advancing a team to the national title game four of the last five years. Richmond’s national championship in 2008 and Villanova’s 2009 title are the most recent championships for the league. In 2004, James Madison claimed the national championship with a 31-21 triumph over Montana, becoming the first team to reach the title game by winning three road playoff contests since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986. Delaware rolled past Colgate 40-0 to capture the national championship in 2003, becoming the first team to ever post a shutout in the title game. No other conference has had two different teams win national titles in back-to-back years and CAA Football has done it twice (2003-04 & 2008-09). Massachusetts earned a national championship in 1998, beating perennial power Georgia Southern, 55-43. CAA Football boasts a total of 22 individual accolades accumulated by standouts from the league. UNH quarterback Ricky Santos (2006), William and Mary quarterback Lang Campbell (2004), Villanova running back Brian Westbrook (2001), Villanova wide receiver Brian Finneran (1997), UNH running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1988) all have won the prestigious Walter Payton Award under the league banner. James Madison linebacker Derrick Lloyd (2001) and defensive lineman Arthur Moats (2009) each received the Buck Buchanan Award prior to Evans’ honor in 2011. UNH’s Sean McDonnell (2005), James Madison’s Mickey Matthews (1999 & 2008), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) were Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award winners from the league before Ambrose won the award in 2011. Delaware’s K.C. Keeler (2010), Richmond’s Mike London (2008), Matthews (2004), Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) and Talley (1997 & 2009) have garnered the American Football Coaches Association National Coach of the Year honor. CAA Football has had 100 players drafted by NFL franchises dating back to 1948. A total of 26 players have been selected in the draft over the last 10 years, including the league’s second-highest draft pick ever -- former Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco (18th overall to the Baltimore Ravens in 2008). The league has also excelled in graduating student-athletes as 10 programs have earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards over the last three years for ranking among the Top 10 percent of the FCS in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rating system. The CAA Football geographic footprint will encompass much of the East Coast during the 2012 season with schools located from Maine to Georgia. This season’s members include Delaware, Georgia State, James Madison, Maine, New Hampshire, Old Dominion, Rhode Island, Richmond, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary. While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years. On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993. The Atlantic 10 assumed operation control of the conference from 1997-2006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004.
