THIS IS DEFIANCE

48 All-Americans in Program History - 33 Winning Seasons on the Gridiron

THIS IS DEFIANCE COLLEGE Defiance College, founded in 1850, is a private liberal arts college affiliated with the United Church of Christ, serving approximately 1,100 students. Building on a strong foundation of more than a century of educating citizens for lives of leadership and service, Defiance College provides opportunities for its students to make a meaningful impact on society in the twenty-first century with an educational experience of engagement. Defiance’s spirit of service through leadership sets us apart. The Princeton Review features Defiance College in Colleges with a Conscience: 81 Great Schools with Outstanding Community Involvement. Defiance College has been named for five-consecutive years to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for its commitment to community service, and for the past two years, DC has been named a Military Friendly School for providing significant benefits and services to veterans. Defiance College is also one of 119 U.S. colleges and universities selected by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching to receive its 2008 Community Engagement Classification. The McMaster School for Advancing Humanity was created to provide opportunities for DC undergraduate students and faculty to more closely examine global issues and how they affect the human condition. Faculty and students conducted projects during the 200910 year in Belize, Cambodia and New Orleans. The School serves as the umbrella for the Service Leadership Program developing leadership communication, conflict resolution and cultural awareness; the Carolyn M. Small Honors Program providing opportunities for students to participate in an honors curriculum; Project 701, a student-run nonprofit organization; and study abroad programs. Defiance College is also home of the Hench Autism Studies Program, an innovative, multi-faceted program designed to specifically address the late adolescent years and the transition of individuals with autism to adulthood. Student life is an important part of a Defiance College education. Activities include student government, musical and theater groups, religious organizations, the student newspaper, intercultural organizations, honor societies, special interest groups, intramural athletics, and four Greek chapters including a service fraternity. As a national leader in the field of service learning and engagement, DC teaches students to take the knowledge they have gained and use it to change lives for the better in their communities, in distant villages, and in their careers.

WELCOME TO DEFIANCE Dear Fellow Defiance College Fan: On behalf of our wonderful Defiance College family, I am honored to welcome you to our campus and to today’s game. Defiance College is very much a college on the move. This year we welcomed the largest number of incoming freshmen in recent memory, up significantly from last year. In fact, 44 percent of our applicants this past year came from outside Ohio, representing 42 states and two territories. They came to Defiance College for many reasons. We are a small college with a real family feel. We offer a wide range of academic majors and intercollegiate and intramural athletic activities. We provide individual attention through our innovative Personal Success Plan (PSP) process in which students work with a team of people at the College to develop their own personalized strategic plans for success in college and beyond. Our wonderful faculty provide a stimulating academic environment as well as serving as personal mentors for students. Our coaches train student-athletes to excel in their sports while also giving them the guidance and support necessary to help them become committed students and community leaders. In fact, we are especially proud of the ways in which our student-athletes continue and further DC’s commitment to community service. Student-athletes serve in many different capacities, from volunteering to assist senior citizens and children, to helping to run, manage, and operate our path-breaking new student-run non-profit, Project 701. This non-profit gives students an opportunity not just to engage in voluntarism, but also to create, develop, run, and supervise a wide range of community-service projects. If you are reading this while you are on campus, you are probably close by the site for construction of our new field house. We are very pleased that all members of our DC community will soon be enjoying this field house, which will include extensive practice and work-out facilities for athletes and nonathletes alike. We are particularly pleased that by building this field house, Defiance can help stimulate economic development in our community while providing a premiere athletic facility in northwest Ohio. I hope you will have an opportunity to get to know our student-athletes both as members of a team and as individuals. They are an impressive bunch, who bring a wonderful level of excitement and energy to everything they undertake. And they also have tremendous potential. It has been my pleasure to get to know and interact with them on a regular basis. I encourage you to seek opportunities to meet them as well. I want to thank our entire team, including players, coaches, trainers and staff, for the great work they do every day and the numerous ways in which they go “above and beyond” on a regular basis. I also want to thank our alumni, the parents of our athletes, and the various organizations, all of whom donate generously to our athletic programs. Members of the Defiance College Board of Trustees, the Purple and Gold Club, and the Alumni Varsity ‘D’ all contribute immeasurably as well, both as individuals and through their organizations. We are pleased to have you as our guest at DC today and hope that you will return to campus frequently for both sporting events and the numerous cultural and academic events which we are so proud to host. We hope you enjoy the game. Go Jackets!

IN THE COMMUNITY

DC FOOTBALL 2010 12-Time Conference Champions - 1920, 1924, 1931, 1953, 1962, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1976, 1977, 2001

Defiance College has challenged students to defy the ordinary, to explore academic boundaries, to take on roles of civic responsibility and leadership, and to become engaged on campus and in the community. All of this makes for an extraordinary college experience. Nowhere else will you find students committed to their communities like Defiance College, and nowhere else will you find student-athletes and coaches as immersed in service and engagement. During the 2009-2010 academic year, Defiance College student-athletes contributed nearly 2,400 hours of service in their community. The football team contributed more than 670 hours of service last year. It has been a tradition for the DC football team to hold its annual community service day before launching August summer camp. This year, student-athletes spread out across the city and county to lend a hand. Their sites included Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Creation playground, Bronson and Riverside parks, Camp Lakota, Camp Libbey, Riverside Cemetery, city water tower grounds, and the DC campus, all in Defiance; and the Defiance County fairgrounds in Hicksville. In addition, football team members sorted and checked warehoused Christmas lights for the city of Defiance. Many student-athletes at Defiance have taken active roles in leadership and service initiatives campus-wide. Such experiences give Defiance College students a greater awareness of a diverse world and its needs as well as the leadership skills to create positive change. Football team members D.J. Brigham, Sean Lightfoot, Tom Foos, Robbie Lakes, Alex Puente, Andy Cessna, Rick Powell, Jake Shepherd, Jake Sigler, Sean Hamilton, Matthew Oliver and Ryne Rogers are Defiance College

Service Leaders. Teammate Richard Sherrer is a McMaster Scholar to Belize. Defiance College is featured for excellence in blending academics with community work by The Princeton Review in its Colleges with a Conscience: 81 Great Schools with Outstanding Community Involvement. Defiance is included in the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for its commitment to community service.

The 2010 campaign will be the eighth of head coach Robert Taylor’s tenure at the helm of the Yellow Jacket football program and his 13th overall with the Purple and Gold. Prior to taking over the reins of the program, Taylor spent five seasons as the team’s defensive coordinator. Under Taylor’s watchful eye, Defiance has turned into one of the premier teams in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. The Jackets have finished among the top three teams in the HCAC in four of the last five seasons and have only had two losing records in league play during the Taylor era. DC has posted a winning record in conference action four times since 2005, boasting a .588 winning percentage in HCAC contests during that time. In that same span, Taylor has guided the Purple and Gold to 26 total victories on the gridiron.

During his time there, Taylor helped lead the Pumas to a Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship in 1996. As a student-athlete at Albion College in Michigan, Taylor was a part of four-straight Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championships, two NCAA playoff berths and a NCAA Division III National Championship in 1994. The following year, he was named as the MIAA Most Valuable Player as a defensive end. Over the duration of his playing and coaching careers, the Grosse Ile, Mich., native has been involved with seven conference championships and four NCAA postseason appearances. Taylor and his wife, Elizabeth, have four children; Bo, 12; Lexi, 10; Jackson, 8 and Emma, 5.

Taylor will enter the 2010 season with 31 victories to his credit, needing only six more to break Malen Luke’s all-time program record of 36 coaching victories with the Yellow Jackets. Along with his rapid climb up DC’s all-time wins list, Taylor earned the HCAC Coach-of-the-Year honor in 2005 and has mentored eight All-Americans and 112 All-HCAC players. Prior to being promoted to head coach, Taylor compiled and managed one of the best defenses in the nation on a consistent basis and helped lead the Jackets to the HCAC Championship in 2001 for the program’s 12th league title in school history. His 2001 and 2002 squads each gave up fewer than 14 points per game and ranked among the top 25 NCAA teams in multiple statistical categories. The 2002 unit led the HCAC by yielding only 173 passing yards per game, while his special teams work resulted in a conference-leading 22.1 yards per kick-off return. Before coming to Defiance, Taylor coached the defensive line at NCAA Division II St. Joseph’s College (Ind.).

DC FOOTBALL 2010 48 All-Americans in Program History - 33 Winning Seasons on the Gridiron

DEFIANCE, Ohio - The 2010 season will be the eighth for Rob Taylor at the helm of the Yellow Jacket football program and his 13th with Defiance College.

off the football field. Finally, it is the goal of every team during every year to compete for and win the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship.

While each season has included its share of accomplishments and highlights, the 2010 campaign could be especially sweet for Taylor, who will enter the year needing six victories to surpass Malen Luke’s (19881993) all-time program record of 36 coaching victories on the gridiron for Defiance.

Defiance and its 123-man roster will look to accomplish the goal of gaining the 13th conference championship in program history by leaning on an experienced offense and a high-flying defense in 2010.

Taylor has piled up 31 wins as a head coach for the Purple and Gold for the second-highest total in program history and is the second-longest tenured coach in program history. The success that Taylor and his teams have enjoyed stem from the common set of goals that are given to each student-athlete that wears the DC uniform. Those goals start with the DC student-athletes being able to reach their full potential as a person, a student and a football player. Secondly, the studentathlete will receive a college degree of his choice. Third, they will develop and enhance a vigorous work ethic which will translate into success on and

KUESEL 26

Several factors will play a role in how successful this squad will be, with the three largest being health, execution and the development of a young roster. DC will also need to embrace a road-warrior attitude, with the first three games of the year on the road, and only four home games on the 2010 schedule. The Jackets will return eight starters on offense, highlighted by a very talented junior class that includes six starters ready to take DC’s offensive attack to a new level.

SEASON OUTLOOK QUARTERBACK The Yellow Jackets will be paced under center by junior Rick Powell. The Second-Team All-HCAC performer will assume the full-time duties at the quarterback position, after splitting time for parts of his first two campaigns on the gridiron at Defiance. Powell has played in all 20 games during his career and is poised to excel in an offensive scheme that is going to be geared directly for his playmaking abilities. Those talents allowed Powell to lead DC with 124.2 total yards of offense per game during 2009, while accounting for 10 touchdowns. While a healthy Powell will take nearly every snap this season, Garrett Teague and Aaron Spence will provide the Purple and Gold with a pair of promising quarterback prospects on the junior varsity squads.

The defense will return only four starters but should also be improved, thanks to the expected contributions of a tremendous incoming group that ranks as the top recruiting class during the Taylor era in both size and ability.

BACKFIELD Drew Kuesel will return for his junior season and will be relied on to carry the ground game for the Defiance offensive attack. Kuesel led the Jackets with 58.9 rushing yards per game as a sophomore and has piled up nine rushing touchdowns in his two-year tenure in the DC backfield. Along with his powerful running style, Kuesel became an increasingly dangerous receiv-

ing threat in 2009, hauling in 17 passes for 84 yards. Freshmen Brandon Ross and Joey Chester will team up to provide DC with a pair of speedsters to compliment the power of Kuesel in the ground game. TIGHT END A pair of junior returners will look to shoulder the load at the tight end position for the Purple and Gold in 2010. Ryan Black and Andy Cessna could each return to the starting lineup, after combining for 21 catches, 178 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns one year ago. Sophomore Patrick Hartman gained valuable time on the DC junior varsity squad during his rookie year and could crack the lineup to spell the veteran duo of Black and Cessna. WIDE RECEIVER A successful DC squad will need to utilize its talented crop of wide receivers more than it did in 2009, and Nick Wiedenhoft and Jon Carrabino will be the main targets for the Jackets’ air attack. Wiedenhoft earned AllHCAC honors as a freshman in 2008, and went on to lead Defiance with 32 receptions and four scores in his second season. Carrabino stormed onto the collegiate scene to log 25 catches for 396 yards and three

touchdowns as a rookie and was especially effective down the stretch, where he caught 17 passes for 276 yards over DC’s final five contests of the year. Harvey Morris could contribute during his senior year, while sophomore Rashad Hunt and freshman Bobby Pardun could also make their marks on the DC offense.

sacks one year ago. Hedderly will be joined on the line by junior Joemese Scott, who is returning to the lineup after missing the 2009 campaign. Sophomore Gregg Pickett will see increased time, with senior Alex Puente and freshmen Michael Carrabino, Frank Furnari and Bennie Woods bolstering the front line of defense for the Yellow Jackets.

OFFENSIVE LINE Perhaps the only unknown on the offensive side of the ball for Defiance comes in the form of a very young offensive line. The unit will be anchored by senior Brian Baumgart and All-HCAC junior Kent Corthell. Junior Bryant Green, along with sophomores Seth Kimberlin and Kyle Guzowski will get the first look at filling out DC’s front line. Several promising new faces will also get an opportunity to claim significant roles, with Mitch Smith, Jacob Pack, Corey Williams and Nick Hilliard highlighting the crop of newcomers.

LINEBACKER Despite not returning a single starter at the linebacker position from 2009, the Jackets will unleash an explosive new wave of talent on opposing offenses in 2010. Senior Robbie Lakes will provide leadership for the young group, highlighted by secondyear players James Buari and Hunter Robertson and freshman transfer Patrick McDonald.

DEFENSIVE LINE Defiance will showcase an uptempo defense ample with speed up and down the roster. That includes the trenches, where First-Team All-HCAC senior defensive end, Austin Hedderly, will lead the charge after posting 46 tackles and three

DEFENSIVE BACK The deepest and most talented position for Defiance this season just might be the secondary, where All-HCAC standouts Kyle Longsdorf and Anthony Sierra are joined by upperclassmen Ricky Sherrer and Eric Rubio.

RUBIO his final collegiate campaign after leading the HCAC and ranking among the nation’s best with 116 total tackles from his safety position as a junior. Rubio will join Longsdorf to round out a game-changing safety tandem, as the junior notched 49 hits and two interceptions last season. Sierra will hold down one of the cornerback positions, after bursting onto the collegiate scene to lead DC with five interceptions as a rookie in 2009. SPECIAL TEAMS The special teams units for Defiance will begin and end on the foot of All-HCAC performer, Tom Foos. The senior will handle kickoffs, punts, field goals and point-after attempts for the Yellow Jackets in 2010. Foos has excelled as a punter during his career with the Purple and Gold, averaging 38.9 yards per boot as a junior and sticking 23 of his career-high 71 punts inside the 20-yard line. Along with his punting exploits, Foos has connected on three field goals during his collegiate career, including a 38-yard, game-winning kick in overtime of DC’s 31-28 win at Hanover on November 1, 2008. With Foos taking the kicks, Anthony Sierra, Jon Carrabino, Kadeem Watson and Chrys Killebrew will handle the returns for DC in 2010.
