QUICK FACTS
Location: Indianola, Iowa Founded: 1860 Enrollment: 1,400 (full-time) Nickname: Storm School Colors: Red and Gold Affiliation: NCAA Division III Conference: Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic President: Dr. Jay Simmons Athletics Director: Bob Nutgrass Athletic Dept. Phone: (515) 961-1495
Competition. “I thought the biggest thing we did last year was learn how to compete,” said Jeter, who played cornerback for the Storm on the 1996 and 1997 conference championship teams. “We learned how to finish and how to fight a little bit and we can build on that going into this season.” Despite a shutout loss to Wis.-Stout to open the season, the Storm were in every game in 2017. Simpson dropped a 28-27 overtime thriller at Dubuque, lost by a touchdown in a 45-38 shootout in the season finale at Nebraska Wesleyan and led by as many as 10 in the first half of a 40-31 loss to league champion Wartburg. But Jeter isn’t satisfied with moral victories. “The guys have to believe that we belong instead of being happy with going four quarters with some of the best teams in the conference,” he said. “We can’t be satisfied with that.” The Storm have a lot of experience coming back in 2018, including 45 letterwinners and 13 starters. Among the returners are 28 seniors, a plus for Jeter’s squad. “Any time you have that much experience, your leader-

ship is going to be a level 10,” he said. “They’re hungry, they’re driven, and they’re ready to take that next step.” Simpson returns five all-conference players from a year ago, including 1,000-yard rusher Cam Bunting and the top safety duo in the league in Brendan Holmes and Ryan Lehr. Holmes and Lehr combined for 11 interceptions and 10 pass breakups in 2017, leading a defensive group that brings back seven starters from last year’s team that ranked third in the conference in total defense. As the Storm approach the season-opener against Bethel on Sept. 1, the goals for Jeter’s team are pretty straight forward. “I expect to win every single game,” he said. “If you don’t think that way, why go out there and play? I expect us to go 10-0. At the end of the day, that’s the goal.”
OFFENSE
The Storm made a big jump on the offensive side of the ball in 2017 under first-year play-caller, James Hoffman. The Storm ranked dead last in the league in total offense in 2016, averaging just 338.4 yards per game. In 2017, the unit improved to fifth in the league, averaging 423.7 yards per game. A big reason for the increased production was the emergence of the running game and senior running back, Cam Bunting. Bunting enjoyed a breakout season in 2017, running for 1,049 yards to rank fourth in the conference. Promising sophomore Joe Meyer also returns and will likely see an increased role after rushing 13 times as a rookie.
THE STORM
Paving the way up front is an experienced group of offensive linemen which includes three starters and two other players who started at least three games in 2017. A pair of big bodies in 6-foot-5, 295-pound tackle Jordan Batta and 6-foot-1, 290-pound guard Carter Henken make up the left side of the line while 6-foot-1, 275-pound Mathew Wingerson started the final six games of the season at right tackle. Ryland Crawford and Gunnar Davis both started games a year ago. The Storm don’t return much experience at the quarterback position, but junior Tanner Krueger enters fall camp as the top option after missing the second half of 2017 with a knee injury. Just a few plays from beating out Sam Sasso for the starting job last season, Krueger has another year of experience under his belt and brings a strong arm and good athleticism to the position. The deepest position group on the offensive side of the ball is the receiving corps, where the Storm return a mix of possession receivers big-play threats. Senior Ricky Reeve is the top returner after making 61 catches for 697 yards and six touchdowns in 2017. Physical pass-catcher Sam Bartlett is back after a 20-catch campaign and Austin Hronich showed big-play ability last season, averaging a team-high 14.8 yards per catch. Luke and Jake West will have an increased role this season as will 6-foot-4 sophomore, Joe McNally.
DEFENSE
The Storm have also experienced marked improvement on the defensive side of the ball over the last two seasons, allowing just over 408 yards per game to rank third in the conference in 2017. The biggest upswing has come in defending the pass, where the Storm have ranked second in the league in each of the last two seasons after failing to rank better than seventh in the previous four. The heartbeat of coordinator Ted Haag’s defense lies with Holmes and Lehr, arguably the top safeties in the conference. At free safety, Holmes was a first team all-conference and third team all-region selection after picking off six passes in 2017. Lehr added five interceptions and seven pass breakups from his strong safety position to earn second team all-conference honors, and his 98-yard interception return for a TD sealed the Storm’s week six win at Loras. Senior Cornerback Prince Krah is the top returner on the outside after leading the team with 14 pass breakups in 2017. Seniors Vaughn Brasseaux and Zach Uhlenhopp along with juniors Sam Adeniyi and Parker Schenk will also factor into the rotation. The Storm feature good size and good speed at the linebacker position. Senior outside backer Michael Connor made 83 tackles and tied for the team lead with 8.5 tackles for loss last season, teaming up with middle backer Joe Weppler as the returning starters. A trio of sophomores in Carter Patterson, Thomas Musig and Dylan Holst will all vie for time, and fifth-year senior and team captain Galen Gist has returned to full form after an ACL injury cut his 2017 campaign short. The defensive line returns a pair of starters in end Trey Chumbley and tackle Nic Tusha. Chumbley recorded 8.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks a year ago while Tusha helped clog the middle to the tune of 5.0 TFLs and 2.5 sacks. Sophomores Chris Bowles and Jack Bootsmiller will factor into the mix for a group that needs to replace the 14.0 TFLs and 7.5 sacks produced by the graduated Jake Stearns.

The Storm’s biggest hole to fill on special teams is the one left by record-setting placekicker, Drew Jensen. Senior Joey Gale has been behind Jensen for the past three seasons and is poised to move into the role after serving as the team’s primary kickoff specialist in 2017. Junior Zach Kreider had a productive offseason and will also compete for the starting job.

The punting duties were handled by Tanner Krueger in 2017, but with Krueger entering camp as the top quarterback, that won’t be the case in 2018. The Storm have two quality options in rugby-style punter Nathan Hawkins and straight-ahead punter Zach Kreider. Hawkins was an honorable mention all-conference pick in 2016 after booming seven punts of 50-plus yards, but his 2017 season was cut short due to injury. Kreider proved effective in limited action last season, placing three punts inside the 20 in just six attempts.

THE COACHES
HEAD COACH
MATT JETER Simpson College marked a return to its roots when it hired Matt Jeter as head coach on April 1, 2016. A Simpson alum who helped the Storm to two Iowa Conference championships as a player, Jeter brings a renewed sense of focus the program as it makes a push back to the top of the league. The 2018 season marks Jeter’s third as head coach of the Simpson football team. He engineered a two-game turnaround in 2017, helping the Storm go 5-5. His defense was the second-best against the pass in the IIAC and the Storm generated 19 takeaways, the most for the program in 12 seasons. Jeter was a two-year starter at cornerback for the Simpson football team from 1996-97, helping the Storm to a record of 22-2 and two trips to the NCAA Division III Playoffs. The 33rd head coach in program history, Jeter enjoyed a successful run as an assistant coach before taking over the Storm. Jeter was at NCAA Division II Central Missouri from 2010-15, starting out as the special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach before taking over as the defensive coordinator from 2011-15. Jeter helped Central Missouri to a 47-22 mark in his six seasons on staff, including three postseason appearances. The Mules won at least six games each season during Jeter’s tenure, highlighted by a record-setting 11-win season in 2010 when the Mules finished 11-3 and advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division II Playoffs. Central Missouri posted eight-win campaigns in 2011, 2014 and 2015, appearing in the Kanza Bowl in 2011 and winning the Texarkana Bowl in 2014. The Mules went 8-3 last fall, narrowly missing a berth in the postseason. Jeter’s defenses consistently ranked among the best in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics

2018 SIMPSON STORM FOOTBALL
Association. The Mules were third in total defense in 2015 (365.8 ypg), fifth in 2013 (391.6 ypg) and fourth in 2012 (365.8). His units had a knack for creating turnovers, generating 59 in the last two seasons, including a MIAA-leading 30 in 2014. In five years as defensive coordinator, Jeter’s teams allowed less than 23 points per game while 16 defensive players earned all-MIAA honors. Prior to joining the staff at Central Missouri, Jeter spent eight years as an assistant at NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision member Drake University. He served as the defensive backs coach and recruiting coordinator for the Bulldogs, helping Drake win the Pioneer Football League title in 2004. He was the defensive coordinator in 2007, piloting a unit that led the PFL in redzone scoring and ranked fourth in the nation with 31 forced turnovers. Jeter helped the Bulldogs to six consecutive winning seasons from 2004-09, including a 10-2 mark in 2004, a 9-2 record in 2006 and an 8-3 mark in 2009. Jeter started at cornerback for head coach Jim Williams in 1996 and 1997, the most successful two-year period Simpson football history. The Storm won back-to-back Iowa Conference titles, going 10-1 in 1996 in 12-1 in 1997. Jeter was a team captain on the 1997 team that set a school record for wins in a season and made an appearance in the national semifinals. He also earned two letters as a member of the track and field team. He transferred to Simpson from Iowa Central Community College, where he was a first team all-
region selection and team captain as a sophomore in 1995. Jeter earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Simpson in 1998. He and his wife, Kimberly, have two sons: Jordan and Jayden.

JAMES HOFFMAN
Ted Haag was promoted to defensive coordinator in the offseason and will run the Storm defense in his fourth year on staff. Haag was a four-year letterwinner at linebacker for the Storm football team and earned second team all-conference honors as a senior in 2013. He graduated from Simpson in 2014.
James Hoffman was promoted to co-offensive coordinator in the 2017 offseason and will call the plays in 2018. This season marks Hoffman’s 12th on the Simpson staff. A three-year letterwinner as a defensive back for the Storm from 2003-05, Hoffman resides in Des Moines with his wife, Kasey (a former Simpson softball player), and daughters Kameryn and Kourtney.

Fromer Division I quarterback Grant Rohach begins his first season on Simpson’s staff in 2018. He comes to Simpson after a one-year stint in the same position at Grand View, where he helped the Vikings to a 9-3 record and a Heart of America Conference North Division title. Rohach played collegiately at both Iowa State and Buffalo, making five starts for the Cyclones from 2012-15.

HISTORY & RECORDS
THE GLORY YEARS
Legendary head coach Jim Williams took over a struggling program in 1987, leading Simpson to a mark of 106-48-1 in 15 seasons at the helm. Simpson won four IIAC Championships and appeared in the postseason five times under Williams.
1893
Simpson first organized a football team in 1892, but did not begin playing an intercollegiate schedule until 1893. During 1893, Simpson played a five-game schedule in which the squad compiled 174 points and went undefeated against Des Moines University and Drake (twice). Captained by Fletcher Homan, the team had no real coach; but student manager, Charles Cheney, a senior, is credited as being the first Simpson football coach.
1923
Under the direction of head coach Noel Workman, Simpson won the first Iowa Conference football title in 1923. After dropping the first game of the year to Iowa State, the Redmen won their next eight games, including five shutouts. The team, led by captain and All-Conference tackle Joe Meek, outscored the opposition 289-37 in the nine game. It was during this time that the legend of Kenneth “Moco” Mercer was born. Mercer scored 348 points and was named All-Conference at halfback three times (1923-35). He earned 15 letters in four different sports at Simpson (basketball, football, wrestling, and track) and later went onto a professional career with the Philadelphia Eagles before returning to coach at Simpson in the 1930s.
1924
Simpson won its second consecutive Iowa Conference title, going 8-0-1. Included in the eight victories were five shutouts, matching the total from the previous season. The Redmen won their first seven games before a 14-14 tie against Iowa Wesleyan on Nov. 21. Simpson ended the season the following week with a 6-0 victory over Nebraska Wesleyan. All-Conference selections included Kenneth Karr, Moco Mercer, Walter Officer, and Leslie Holiday.
1925
Simpson remained on top of the Iowa Conference standings in 1925, sharing the league title with Upper Iowa. Although Simpson lost two of its first three games, the Redmen recovered to post a 6-2-1 record. During the season, “Moco” Mercer set an Iowa Conference record for most points scored in a career with 285. That record stood until 1998 when it was broken by another Simpson running back, Guy Leman. Noel Workman left to become the head coach at Iowa State following the season, going 22-3-2 with three IIAC titles in three seasons.
1931
Although the nation was suffering from the grips of the Depression, there was no depression in Simpson football in the early 1930s. Simpson captured the Iowa Conference Championship in 1931 under the direction of first-year head coach Lloyd “Judd” Dean. The team put together a 7-3 record, remaining flawless in Iowa Conference action with a 6-0 mark. A key to the Redmen’s success was the play of fullback Edwin “Kink” Richards, who went on to sign with the NFL’s New York Giants.

1933
Simpson won the 1933 Iowa Conference title despite Iowa Wesleyan going undefeated in its six game schedule. Simpson won its second league crown in three years under the complicated “Stanley-Dean” system, which rated teams on the basis of strength of the schedule. Simpson went 7-2-1, going unbeatedn in conference play. Simpson played the first night game in school history on Oct. 6 against Central.
1934
The “Stanley-Dean” system led to a second-straight IIAC Championship in 1934 despite Simpson’s 3-2-1 record in the league. Because of the circumstances, writer Buck Turnbull stated in the history of the Iowa Conference book, “The conference did not recognize a championship team.” However, since the league had adopted the Stanley-Dean System, for the better or worse, Simpson is listed in the books as the 1934 Iowa Conference champion. The system was dropped in 1935.
1949
Simpson won its first conference title since 1934 by going 8-1 under third-year head coach R.G. “Hap” Miller. The lone loss was a 23-17 setback at Coe, but the Redmen won six straight to close the season. Backfield ace John Mills, tackle Bob Miller and fullback Jim Wright earned all-conference honors. Miller went on to serve as head football coach for 10 years, going 34-473. Remembered fondly for his efforts in the physical education department, Miller had a successful stint as Simpson’s head baseball coach, taking the Redmen to the 1958 NAIA National Baseball Tournament.
1969
After finishing in second place the previous two seasons, Simpson ended a 20-year conference title drought by going 8-2 under fourth-year head coach John Sullivan. The Redmen boasted gutty 200-pound linemen, like Tom Powell and Dave Halford, who held their own against their 300-pound competition. Center Rich Heckman and tackles Jim Oplt and Perry Hunter provided big holes throughout the season while Indianola native Joe Blake, Sr., took the conference by storm. Simpson ended the regular season with a 30-7 win over William Jewell, ranked 10th in NAIA. Simpson went on to play in the Mineral Water Bowl, which ended in a 21-0 loss to St. John’s (Minn.). Sullivan earned NAIA Coach of the Year honors at season’s end.

1. Head coach John Sullivan and quarterback Joe Blake led Simpson to an Iowa Conference title and an appearance in the Mineral Water Bowl in 1969. 2. Two-time IIAC MVP Brad Jorgensen led the Storm to league titles in 1996 and 1997. 3. League MVP Mike Donnenwerth led Simpson to its last NCAA Playoff appearance in 2003. 4. The rushing tandem of Trent Nauholz (24) and Rob Sinclair (22) led Simpson to a perfect 10-0 mark in the 1991 regular season.
1988
Going into the 1987 season, Simpson had experienced 14 losing seasons in 15 years, prompting the hiring of legendary high school coach, Jim Williams. It took just one year for the move to pay off, as the Redmen shocked the league by going 9-2 and a perfect 8-0 to win the IIAC. A junior transfer from Nebraska-Omaha named Ricky Gales won the rushing title with 1,301 yards and helped Simpson to its first-ever NCAA Playoff appearance, a 29-27 los to Wis.-Whitewater. In one of the biggest games in the school history, Simpson forced a missed extra point in the final seconds to beat Central 14-13. In just his second year, Williams was named IIAC Coach of the Year.
1989
Though the 1989 season didn’t produce a conference title thanks to a 54-30 loss to Central in the regular season finale, it did result in another trip to the postseason. An unstoppable Ricky Gales set NCAA Division III records for rushing (2,035 yards) and scoring (166 points) as Simpson went 8-3. Gales saved his best effort for last, rushing for a then all-divisions record 389 yards in a playoff loss to St. John’s (Minn.). The Redmen averaged 514 yards and 45.5 points per game and junior quarterback Joe Blake, Jr. led Division III in passing efficiency (203.3). Sophomore kicker Ned Greer led the nation in points by a kicker with 61, going 49-for-50 on extra point attempts.
1991
Jim Williams’ 1991 squad rolled to a 10-0 regular season record, the first undefeated regular
season since 1893. A perfect 8-0 mark gave Simpson an IIAC Championship and a trip to the playoffs, where the Redmen lost to UW-La Crosse 28-13 at the UNI Dome. The 1991 Redmen defense was the best in school history, posting the No. 4 total defense in the country (183.5 yards per game) while allowing the seventh-fewest points (87). Led by Trent Nauholz and Rob Sinclair, the rushing offense ranked 13th in the nation (269.2 yards per game). Twelve players earned all-conference honors and Jim Williams was named the IIAC Coach of the Year.
1996
Simpson won its 10th IIAC football title with an unblemished 10-0 regular season mark, including 8-0 in the league. The program’s fourth trip to the NCAA Playoffs ended with a 21-18 loss to St. John’s, snapping a 13-game winning streak. Junior QB Brad Jorgensen was named IIAC MVP and Jim Williams earned Coach of the Year honors. Jorgensen threw for 1,953 yards and led the offense to a school record 459 points scored.
1997
Arguably the greatest season in school history, the 1997 Storm went 10-0 in the regular season, won the IIAC Championship and advanced to the semifinal round of the playoffs before losing to eventual-champion Mt. Union. The Storm won an exciting opening round game over Whitewater, getting the winning score on a 25-yard TD pass from Jorgensen to Corey Christensen with 36 seconds left. Simpson then went on to route Augsburg at home in the second round. Simpson set school records for total offense (6,829 yards), points (595), rushing yards (3,837), passing yards (2,931), first downs (295) and total plays (1,113). Jorgensen became the first player in IIAC history to win back-to-back MVP honors and Williams earned his fifth Coach of the Year accolade.
2003
The Storm went 9-1 and earned an at-large bid to the playoffs after finishing second in the IIAC. No. 20 Simpson lost a 26-20, double overtime heart-breaker No. 11 St. Norbert in the first round. Led by All-Americans Mike Donnenwerth (QB) and Dusty Kain (WR), the Simpson offense set school records for passing yards (3,540), attempts (422) and touchdowns (33). Donnenwerth set school marks for passing yards (3,461), attempts (413), and touchdowns (32). Kain set school records for receptions (93), yards (1,466) and TDs (14). Second-year head coach Jay Niemann’s defense generated 43 turnovers, led by All-American corner Kyle Westphal 10 INTs and six forced fumbles. Niemann took home IIAC Coach of the Year honors and Donnenwerth was named league MVP.

RICKY GALES
1988-89 • Running back
Deric “Ricky” Gales is arguably the finest running back ever to put on a Simpson uniform. After spending two years at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, the 6-1, 195-pound Des Moines native joined Simpson in time for the 1988 season. Gales led Simpson to its first Iowa Conference title in 19 years and was named first team All-Conference. Entering the 1989 season, Gales’ star was on the rise. He was selected as a preseason All-American by three different publications, the Football Gazette, Sporting News, and the College Football Preview. By the time the season ended, Gales would rewrite the record book and was named the National Small College Player of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). He would later receive the AFCA’s Coaches Choice Award in January 1990. Aided by his high rushing statistics, Gales averaged 14.4 points per game during his career. He led Division III as a senior in both rushing (2,035 yards) and points (166). With Gales leading the way, Simpson led the nation in total offense (5,140 yards). Entering the 2017 season, Gales still holds the reocrd for most consecutive 200 yard games, rattling off eight to close the 1989 season. In what turned out to be his final collegiate game, Gales rushed for 389 yards in a 42-35 loss to St. John’s (Minn.) in the first round of the 1989 NCAA Division III playoffs. At the time, the yardage broke the record in all three NCAA Divisions, but did not count as an official NCAA record since it came during the playoffs. Gales owns the school record for rushing yards in a season and is second in career rushing yards despite playing just two seasons. He was named first team All-Conference in 1989 and became the first Simpson player to be named Iowa Conference MVP. He led the Simpson offense to IIAC records for most yards per game (528.5) and total offense (788, set against William Penn Sept. 23, 1989). Upon the conclusion of his career, Gales became the only football player in the history of the Simpson program to have his number retired. His jersey continues to hang in the hallway of the Cowles Athletic Complex, honoring his unparalleled accomplishments on the Simpson gridiron. Gales was inducted into Simpson’s Hall of Fame in 2004.

THE STORM
FIND YOUR SUCCESS Founded in 1860, Simpson has prepared generations of students for successful careers, graduate schools or service work. Our beautiful campus sits on 75 acres in Indianola, Iowa and offers the best of both worlds: a nurturing academic environment that’s close to the career, internship and entertainment options available in Iowa’s capital city. Most of our professors hold the highest degrees in their field, and they are committed to helping the more than 1,400 students achieve their dreams. Student life is exciting and fulfilling, with dozens of opportunities for students to participate, in everything from Greek life to intercollegiate and intramural sports. Simpson’s success in promoting quality programs and providing exceptional value have been recognized nationally by Peterson’s Competitive Colleges and U.S. News. This is a great college, and the more that people learn about Simpson, the more impressed they become. We invite you to visit and take a closer look.

2018 SIMPSON STORM FOOTBALL
THE STORM
FACILITIES Steven Johnson Fitness Center The Steven Johnson Fitness Center opened to the Simpson community in January 2014, creating a first-class, comprehensive fitness complex located at the heart of campus. The $6 million project is highlighted by a two-tier workout facility consisting of a 5,500 square foot strength and conditioning center and a 4,500-square foot exercise and fitness center. The picturesque facility overlooks Buxton Stadium. In addition to the Fitness Center, the renovation included additional classroom and meeting space, administrative and academic suites, an expanded wrestling room, a cheer, dance and multipurpose room, a new Hall of Fame display, an exercise science and athletic training lab and a Swim Ex rehabilitation and therapy pool. Buxton Stadium The home for Storm football on Saturday afternoons since 1949, Buxton Stadium was named in honor of longtime Simpson and Indianola benefactor, William Buxton III ‘28 in 1998. The stadium was previously named Neff Field after L.N. Neff. The centerpiece of Simpson’s campus, the stadium seats 5,000 fans and features state-of-the-art playing surfaces. The track and turf inside the stadium were installed in the summer of 2011 and are unlike any other in the Midwest. The football field sports a FieldTurf Revolution playing surface, designed to be the highest performing and most innovative turf in the industry.
