The primary responsibility of the Athletic Communications office is to promote the 20 varsity sports at the University of New Hampshire. Included in this responsibility is working with media members, the promotion of student-athletes for academic and athletic awards (on the conference, regional and national levels), press releases, the production of media guides, game notes and programs, the maintenance of (team and individual) statistics and the content of the official UNH athletics website (www.unhwildcats.com) as well as related social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The office’s newest venture is UNH Wildcat Productions, which provides video content for the website – live video streaming of home games, game highlights and various features – as well as produce televised games.

UNH’s Athletic Communications office consists of a Director, two Associate Directors, one Assistant Director, the Director of UNH Wildcat Productions, Assistant Director of UNH Wildcat Productions, Digital Media Manager and the UNH Insider as well as a corps of student workers. Mike Murphy (Syracuse ‘95) was elevated to the position of Associate Athletic Director for Communications in November 2013 after serving as Associate Director of Athletic Communications for three years. Prior to joining the UNH staff, Murphy was the color commentator for all UNH football and basketball games from 1998-2009.

The remainder of the full-time staff consists of associate directors Doug Poole (UNH ‘93) and Jim Wrobel (UMass ‘00), assistant director Brandon Poli (Maine ‘15), Wildcat Productions director Ben Gilbert (New England School of Communications ‘12), Wildcat Productions assistant director Robert Krohn (Michigan State ‘18), and UNH Insider Allen Lessels, who writes blogs on www.unhwildcats.com.

Poole joined the athletic communications staff in May 1997. He was hired as Assistant Director in October 2000 and subsequently promoted to Associate Director in summer 2005. In his tenure, Poole has served as the primary liaison for volleyball (2016-19), women’s basketball (1998, 2000 and 2013 seasons), field hockey (1997-98, 2000-19), women’s ice hockey (1999, 2001-12, 2014-16), women’s lacrosse (1998-2019), men’s and women’s skiing (1998-2010) and women’s soccer (1997-98, 2000-05).

In 2010, McDonnell’s Wildcats collected victories against five ranked opponents en route to an 8-5 campaign.

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 (2824) 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.

In 2000, the Wildcats were ranked as high as 23rd in the nation and knocked off three top-25 opponents. Injuries squashed UNH’s chances for a playoff berth down the stretch.

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 coordinator in 1998.

COACHING STAFF Ricky SANTOS

John LYONS

UNH ‘08 Interim Head Coach / QB 1st year at UNH

Pennsylvania ‘74 Defensive Coordinator / DB 9th year at UNH

In March 2019, Ricky Santos ‘08 was hired as the Wildcats’ associate head coach/quarterbacks coach, which returned the 2016 UNH Hall of Fame inductee to his alma mater in a coaching capacity for the second time. With head coach Sean McDonnell stepping aside indefinitely for health reasons on Aug. 26, 2019, Santos was promoted to interim head coach.

Santos spent three seasons (2016-18) as the QB coach at Columbia University.

From 2013-15, Santos coached UNH’s wide receivers. In 2014, he mentored R.J. Harris to the single greatest statistical season in program history.

Harris tallied a school-record 100 catches and led the nation with 1,551 receiving yards, which tied UNH’s all-time single-season benchmark. In 2013, Santos guided a dual threat of Harris and Justin Mello that became the first ‘Cat teammates to each record 1,000 receiving yards.

Santos, whose uniform No. 2 is one of four jerseys ever retired by the UNH football program, was inducted into the UNH Athletics Hall of Fame on June 14, 2016. The four-year starter at quarterback (2004-07) led the Wildcats to a career 37-14 record and four NCAA Division I-AA/FCS playoff appearances. Over that time, the native of Bellingham, Mass., guided New Hampshire to its first-ever postseason victory at Georgia Southern (Nov. 27, 2004), was part of the 2005 Atlantic 10 championship team and two A-10 Northern Division title-winning teams (2004, 2006).

Santos passed for 13,212 passing yards and 123 touchdown passes while accumulating 14,615 yards of total offense. The signal caller connected with UNH’s all-time leading receiver and fellow University Hall of Famer David Ball ‘07 for 53 touchdowns from 2004-06 to set an FCS record that still stands for most career TD connections for a QB-WR duo.

In 2006, Santos won the Walter Payton Award as the most outstanding offensive player in FCS football. The then-junior, who finished a mere five points away from garnering the honor the previous season, threw for 3,125 yards and 29 touchdowns.

In his 2004 rookie campaign, Santos was named the ECAC Rookie of the Year, Atlantic 10 co-Rookie of the Year, set the FCS record for most yards gained by a freshman in a game (538, at Villanova, Oct. 2, 2004) and freshman touchdown passes in a season (31).

He was named to the All-Atlantic 10 Team his first three years of eligibility, including two Atlantic 10 Offensive Player of the Year awards (2005, 2006). In 2007, the quarterback earned a spot on the All-CAA First Team, was named the CAA co-Offensive Player of the Year and was feted as a Walter Camp All-American for the third time.

Santos possesses the University’s career records in pass attempts (1,498), completions (1,024) and passing yards (12,189). He holds the top two and four of the top six single-season records in completions, headlined by 301 in 2005. His ‘05 season included a school-high 3,797 passing yards.

Santos owns the FCS single-game record for highest percentage of passes completed (96.2 percent) when he went 25 of 26 for 306 yards and five TDs in a 52-21 defeat of Northeastern on Oct. 22, 2005.

Following his graduation, Santos played football professionally for five years. He signed as an undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs for a brief stint in 2008 before moving north to play in the Canadian Football League from 2009-12. He was a member of the Montreal Alouettes in 2008 and ‘09 before a trade sent him to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He re-signed with the Alouettes for the ‘10 and ‘11 seasons and wrapped up his pro career on the Toronto Argonauts’ practice squad in 2012.

The 2019 season represents John Lyons’ ninth year as UNH defensive coordinator/DB coach. Last season, the Wildcats’ defense led the CAA in both first downs allowed (185) and pass defense (181.3 yards allowed per game); UNH also ranked second in total defense (310.0 ypg) and sacks (36), as well as third in third-down conversion (28.8%) and fourth in scoring (22.8 points per game).

In 2017, UNH’s defense ranked No. 1 in the CAA in red zone as well as second in sacks and third in pass defense efficiency.

In 2016, the Wildcats’ defense was second in the CAA in the red zone as well as fumble recoveries and interceptions, tied for second in sacks, third in takeaways and fourth in rushing defense. Under Lyons’ tutelage, senior cornerback Casey DeAndrade was named to a total of five All-America teams. Also of note, Prince Smith, Jr. was honored as the CAA Defensive Rookie of the Year.

In 2015, an opportunistic defensive unit recovered 11 fumbles and tallied 12 interceptions to help the ‘Cats to a +6 turnover margin (No. 3 in CAA). DeAndrade tied for second in the league in passes defended. Led by junior defensive end Cam Shorey, the stout defense racked up 31 sacks (No. 3 in CAA) and boasted the league’s third-ranked red zone defense.

Lyons mentored the CAA’s No. 2 scoring defense (21.2 points/game) and No. 3 pass defense in 2014. The ‘Cats racked up a league-leading 39 sacks. In 2013, DeAndrade ranked No. 2 in the nation in passes broken up, and the defense ranked No. 14 nationally in sacks.

Under Lyons’ tutelage in 2012, linebacker Matt Evans became UNH’s alltime leader in career tackles (460) en route to a berth on the College Sporting News Fabulous Fifty All-America Team, and defensive tackle Jared Smith earned an invitation to the NFL Combine after claiming a spot on the College Sports Journal FCS All-America Team. The Wildcats’ defense compiled 16 interceptions, which ranked second in the CAA. In Lyons’ first season at the helm in 2011, Evans won the Buck Buchanan Award as the nation’s top defensive player – the first Wildcat to ever accomplish that feat. Evans finished tops in the country with 7.7 solo tackles/game.

Lyons, the second winningest head football coach in Dartmouth College history, joined the UNH staff Jan. 21, 2011.

He was inducted into the Northwest Catholic (Conn.) High School Hall of Fame on April 27, 2013.

Lyons earned 60 career victories as the head coach at Dartmouth from 19922004. His Big Green teams won two Ivy League championships (1992, 1996), including a perfect 10-0 season in ’96 when Lyons was named the New England Coach of the Year by the New England sports writers and the Division I N.E. Coach of the Year by the Gridiron Club of Boston.

The West Hartford, Conn., native previously worked at Kimball Union Academy (Meriden, N.H.), where he served as football coach from 2005-10 and athletic director from 2008-10. He guided the school to three consecutive Evergreen League championships from 2007-2009.

Previously, Lyons spent three seasons (2005-07) in NFL Europe for the Cologne Centurions, the last two years as defensive coordinator. Under his tutelage, the Centurions had the league’s top total defense in 2005 and 2007 and the No. 1 pass yardage defense in 2006.

While serving as defensive coordinator at Boston University from 1985-87, Lyons led the Terriers to the top rated pass defense and No. 2 total defense in the Yankee Conference during his final season.

Lyons, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1974, began his coaching career at his alma mater, climbing his way up from an assistant freshman coach in his first season (1974) to the role of defensive coordinator in 1984 for an undefeated Ivy League championship Quakers team that featured the No. 1 total defense in the league. He played three years at Penn, and was an All-Ivy League Second-Team selection.

Massachusetts ‘07 Run Game Coordinator / OL 9th year at UNH

Michael Ferzoco is in his 12th season on the UNH coaching staff in 2019; in addition to coaching the wide receivers, he will serve as the pass game coordinator for the second consecutive year. He was previously elevated to the role of wide receivers coach/special teams coordinator in 2016. Ferzoco spent six seasons (2010-15) as the running backs coach after serving as linebackers coach his first two seasons (2008-09).

Under the tutelage of Ferzoco, Neil O’Connor finished his Wildcat career (2015-18) with 235 catches for 3,117 yards, both of which rank third on the program’s leaderboard. In the 2017 season, O’Connor was named to a total of five All-America Teams and was a Walter Payton Award finalist. He had 97 receptions for 1,396 receiving yards and 10 TDs; with those numbers, he was No. 3 in the nation in receiving yards, and on UNH’s list of single-season superlatives he ranked second in receptions and fourth in receiving yards.

The 2016 season saw the emergence of two young receivers – O’Connor and Malik Love. O’Connor ranked fifth in the CAA in receiving yards per game and No. 6 in receptions/game en route to a spot on the All-CAA Football Third Team. Love was No. 4 in receptions/game and averaged 43.3 receiving yards per game. The duo combined for 117 of the team’s 249 catches and 1,354 of 2,573 yards.

The 2015 Wildcats’ backfield was led by junior Dalton Crossan, who rumbled for 885 yards on 172 carries (5.1 yards/rush) and 13 of UNH’s 19 rushing TDs. The up-and-coming sophomore duo of Trevon Bryant and Donald Goodrich supplied depth to a unit that helped the ‘Cats average 146.9 rushing yards/game.

In 2014, the CAA champion Wildcats boasted the league’s third-ranked rushing attack (169.5 yards/game) that included a league-leading 39 rushing touchdowns. UNH’s 138 rushing first downs were second-most in the CAA, and senior Nico Steriti led the league in TDs (18) and points/game (9.0).

In 2013, Steriti garnered All-CAA Second Team for the second consecutive year and became the first UNH back since 2002 to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards; the ‘Cats ranked third in rushing in the CAA for the second consecutive year.

Prior to coming to UNH, Ferzoco coached at his alma mater, Kenyon College, working as an assistant coach from 2004-07. He served as offensive coordinator and coached the quarterbacks and receivers during the 2006 and 2007 seasons. In ’07, his offense broke the school record for yardage (460.2 yards per game) and averaged 31.2 points per contest.

In 2019, Alex Miller is in his ninth season as an assistant coach at UNH: eighth year in charge of the entire offensive line as well as fourth as run game coordinator, which puts him in command of gameplanning all running plays.

New Hampshire’s run game was dominant the last four games of the 2018 season as the ‘Cats churned out 185.2 yards per game and 10 touchdowns; the Wildcats rushed the ball 151 times for 741 yards (4.9 yards per carry).

The ground game helped UNH win the time of possession battle the last four games with an average of 32:12.

In 2017, the rushing attack helped the Wildcats rank No. 2 in the CAA in time of possession, second in first downs and third in fourth down conversion percentage.

The 2016 Wildcats averaged 379.2 yards and 28.5 points per game, both of which ranked third in the CAA. Miller’s O-line and run game scheme paved the way for senior running back Dalton Crossan, who had a year for the record books with 233 carries for 1,281 yards; those numbers rank No. 10 and No. 6 on the respective single-season list of UNH superlatives. Senior center Tad McNeely was named to the All-CAA Football First Team and classmate Andrew Lauderdale was a Third Team selection.

In 2015, UNH averaged 358.8 yards/game (fifth in CAA), which included 211.8 passing yards/game (fourth) and 146.9 rushing yards/game. The Wildcats scored 23.9 points/game (fourth) and totaled 35 TDs (fourth).

Miller mentored a unit that did not use the same starting lineup more than two games in a row the entire season and dealt with an injury that held 2014 All-CAA Second Team guard Tad McNeely to only two games. In his first season at left tackle, Austin Heter earned All-CAA First Team and All-New England Team accolades in his senior campaign.

The 2014 line featured senior center Mike Coccia, who garnered Walter Camp All-America First Team, A.P. All-America Second Team and Beyond Sports Network All-America Third Team in addition to All-CAA and All-New England honors. The Wildcats ranked second in the CAA in scoring offense (36.0 points/game), third in rushing offense (169.5 yards/game), and third in passing offense (269.0 yards/game).

In 2013, the offensive line was led by All-Conference Second Team selection Ricky Archer and Third Team honoree Seamus O’Neill.

John Bowes enters his second year as the UNH safeties coach in 2019 after joining the program in February 2018. Under his tutelage last season, junior Pop Lacey tied for the team lead in total tackles and garnered All-CAA Second Team recognition; sophomore Evan Horn had a teamhigh four interceptions – scored on two of them – and ranked fourth in tackles.

The corps of safeties helped UNH rank first in the CAA in pass defense, second in total defense and fourth in scoring defense.

Bowes spent the 2017 season as the defensive coordinator/safeties coach at Fordham University. That year, the Rams’ defense ranked third in the Patriot League in turnover margin and had three players earn All-Patriot League honors, including one received Freshman All-America accolades.

Bowes spent four seasons (2013-16) at Bucknell and that included the last three as the secondary coach/special teams coordinator. Bowes coached five players to All-Patriot League recognition, including a pair of First Team defensive backs in 2016. In 2015, he coached the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year who also garnered All-America Third Team recognition.

Bowes started his coaching career with the Bison as the linebackers coach/special teams coordinator in 2013 and helped them to an 8-3 overall record, which marked its best season in nearly two decades.

Prior to Bucknell, Bowes spent five years as an assistant coach at William & Mary from 2008-2013. He coached the Tribe linebackers and special teams in his first year on staff before being promoted to defensive backs coach and assistant special teams coordinator, a role he held for two seasons. Bowes helped the 2009 squad advance to the NCAA FCS semifinals, and the 2010 squad win the CAA title to earn a second straight appearance in the NCAA FCS Championships.

A 2006 graduate of The Catholic University of America with a degree in finance where he was a three-year starter at cornerback and safety, Bowes got his start in coaching at his alma mater in ‘06. He then spent a year as a graduate assistant at Clarion University.

Maine ‘00 Linebackers 6th year at UNH Garrett Gillick is in his sixth year as the linebackers coach at UNH in 2019. Last year, the two starting linebackers were the top two Wildcats in tackles for loss; they also ranked first and third in sacks as well as first and fifth in total tackles, and they were credited with five of the team’s 11 forced fumbles. The LBs helped New Hampshire’s defense to CAA conference rankings of first in pass defense, second in total defense, tied for second in sacks, fourth in scoring defense, and fifth in rushing defense.

In 2017, Quinlen Dean recorded a team- and CAA-high 124 tackles to earn a spot on the All-Conference Second Team; junior Jared Kuehl, despite missing four games, led UNH in tackles for loss (13.5) and ranked fourth in total tackles (66).

In 2016, Gillick’s proteges ranked 3-4-5 on the team in tackles and those three combined for 23 of the team’s 76 tackles for loss. Senior DeVaughn Chollette earned a spot on the All-CAA Football Third Team. In 2015, understudy Akil Anderson earned All-CAA Third Team and Wildcat team defensive MVP honors. In 2014, Gillick’s two starting LBs –Anderson (82 tackles) and Shane McNeely (75 tackles)—ranked 1-2 on the team in tackles, and Chollette added 67 stops to tie for fifth on the squad. The second level of the Wildcats’ 4-2-5 defense was instrumental in UNH’s No. 2-ranked scoring defense in the CAA. Prior to coming to Durham, Gillick had a three-season stint (2011-13) at Bentley University, including two years as defensive line coach and one as secondary coach.

Gillick’s previous coaching experience was at the high school level, which included stops at Lowell H.S. and Methuen H.S. in Massachusetts. The University of Maine graduate is also a 2008 inductee into the Lowell H.S. Athletic Hall of Fame.

Jordan D’ONOFRIO Springfield College ‘15 Tight Ends 2nd year at UNH Jordan D’Onofrio enters his second year as UNH tight ends coach in 2019. He previously worked as an offensive intern at UNH in 2016-17 before rejoining the program in 2018.

D’Onofrio served as a graduate assistant coach and worked specifically with fullbacks at Springfield College during the 2017-18 academic year, while studying for his master’s degree in athletic administration.

A four-year member of the Springfield College football team, D’Onofrio graduated in Spring 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in Biology. He was a defensive line coach at Manchester High School (Manchester, N.H.) prior to his first stint at UNH.

Kendall REYES

UNH ‘14 Dir. of Internal Operations / Video Coordinator 2nd year at UNH

UConn ‘12 Defensive Tackles 1st year at UNH Kendall Reyes, who hails from Nashua, N.H., and played collegiately at the University of Connecticut from 2007-11, enters his first year as UNH defensive tackles coach in 2019.

Reyes was drafted as a defensive end by the San Diego Chargers in 2012 (second round, pick 17, No. 49 overall) and spent five seasons (2012-16) in the NFL with the Chargers, Washington Redskins and Kansas City Chiefs. In 76 career games, he totaled 146 tackles and 14.5 sacks.

Reyes’ best professional season came in 2013, when he started all 16 games at DE for the Chargers and collected 34 tackles (25 solo) and 5.0 sacks.

At UConn, Reyes was a three-year starter, two-time captain and two-time All-BIG EAST selection who was tabbed the Huskies’ team MVP in 2011.

Reyes graduated from Nashua North High School in 2007. The former defensive end/wide receiver was twice named all-state and all-conference and represented the Granite State in the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl all-star game between New Hampshire and Vermont. The three-sport captain also lettered in basketball and track for the Titans.

James Ventresca returned to his alma mater for his second stint with the Wildcat football program in March 2018.

Ventresca, a native of Hingham, Mass., who served as UNH’s video coordinator/assistant director of football operations for three seasons (2014-16), spent 2017 as the video coordinator for Western Michigan.

In his first stint at UNH, his primary responsibilities included coordinating all videotaping for the team, overseeing the video library, breaking down opponent film for the coaching staff and film exchange.

In addition, Ventresca created in-season team highlight videos and assisted in day-to-day football operations. His responsibilities included video distribution during professional scouting visits and aiding UNH recruiting efforts with video packaging and editing.

Ventresca, who was a student manager from 2010-13, earned a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology: Sport Studies in 2014.

Chris SETIAN UNH ‘13 Running Backs 1st year at UNH Chris Setian ‘13 returns for his second stint as UNH running backs coach in 2019. He previously served in this capacity from 2016-17. In 2016, Setian mentored senior running back Dalton Crossan to a year for the record books as he recorded 233 carries for 1,281 yards.

In 2018, he was the running backs coach at Brown University for head coach Phil Estes.

Setian was a four-year letterwinner (2010-13) for the Wildcats who served as a co-captain during his senior season when he ranked second on the team with 458 rushing yards (on 90 carries) and tied for the team lead with eight rushing TDs to earn the coveted Bill Bowes Coaches Award.

In 38 career games, the hard-nosed running back compiled 1,286 yards and 16 touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards/carry. The multi-purpose back tacked on 54 catches for 444 yards and six TDs and also excelled on special teams, where he racked up 29 tackles on kickoff coverage and returned seven kicks for 87 yards.

Setian was a two-time winner of the CAA Commissioner’s Academic Award and a two-time member of the CAA Academic All-Conference Team.

Setian spent a year as an offensive coaching intern under the direction of former UNH assistant coach Joe Conlin at Yale University (2014) for the No. 1 offense in FCS football. He was the interim running backs coach that spring before joining the UNH staff in a non-coaching capacity in 2015.

2019 SEASON PREVIEW INTRO The University of New Hampshire football program, led by interim head coach Ricky Santos in the absence of head coach Sean McDonnell (who stepped aside for health-related reasons on Aug. 26, 2019), has its sights set on returning to the NCAA FCS tournament. The Wildcats, who advanced to NCAA postseason play 14 consecutive years (2004-2017), will build around a defensive unit that ranked best in the CAA against the pass as well as fewest first downs allowed. The ‘Cats also ranked second in the conference in total defense, tied for second in sacks, third in third-down conversion percentage, and fourth in scoring. On the other side of the ball, an experienced offensive line will pave the way for a talented stable of running backs.

CORNERBACKS

The cornerbacks are among the big-play guys. Seniors Isiah Perkins and Prince Smith, Jr. are the Wildcat veterans who cover the two cornerback spots on defense, making the position one of the strong points on defense and the team overall. Both have more than 100 career tackles, and last year the duo ranked 1-2 in pass breakups.

Smith earned his first start three games into his true freshman season and started 10 games that year. He was the CAA Defensive Rookie of the Year and returned two of his five interceptions that year for touchdowns. He took one of his two picks last season 22 yards for a TD against Stony Brook. Smith’s career stats include 129 total tackles and eight interceptions, which leads all active Wildcats.

Perkins has started all of UNH’s 25 games the last two years and played all 38 games the past three years. Two seasons ago, Perkins led the team with five interceptions and was named a Hero Sports sophomore All American. He has tallied 101 career tackles and six INTs. Redshirt freshman Derek Thompson is pressing for playing time at cornerback.

SAFETIES

Senior Pop Lacey and junior Evan Horn – both of whom have been making big plays in the backfield the last couple of seasons – lead the pack at safety and will be joined by sophomore Pop Bush, among others.

Lacey played as a true freshman and goes into the season with 203 total tackles and five interceptions. He had a pair of interceptions last season, including one for a 15-yard touchdown at Colorado, and tied for the team lead in tackles with 79 and that included a team-high 50 solo stops. He garnered All-CAA Second Team recognition in ‘18 and was voted to the 2019 CAA Football Preseason All-Conference Team.

Horn was named a Hero Sports FCS sophomore All-American last season. He returned two of his four interceptions for touchdowns a year ago, and as a redshirt freshman he had a 56-yard pick-six in the FCS playoffs against Central Arkansas among his three interceptions.

Horn is UNH’s second-leading returning tackler with 57, and he’s

compiled 100 career tackles in two seasons.

Bush played in seven games last year as a redshirt freshman and was credited with 10 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss.

Senior Matt Sherlock adds another veteran to the group that also includes redshirt freshmen Max Oxendine and Joe Eichman.

DEFENSIVE LINE

UNH’s late-season surge last year was fueled by several aspects, including the defensive line’s play over the final several games.

The defensive tackles and defensive ends helped the group clamp down on opponents by amping up their work against the run for starters.

Here’s one way to look at it: the Wildcats gave up 186 rushing yards per game through the first six games of the season; aided by an improved pass rush and an increased number of quarterback sacks, they sliced that number to 60 rushing yards per game in the last five. And only once in the final five contests did the opposing team run for more than 100 yards.

Defensive ends Jae’Wuan Horton and Kyle Reisert and defensive tackle Ryan Sosnak have graduated, but the defense returns experienced players at both positions.

Senior Josh Kania and junior Brian Carter lead the way at defensive end. Kania, 6-foot-3 and 244 pounds, has 55 solo tackles and 26 tackles for a total of 81 career tackles, including 4.5 sacks.

Carter (6-2, 231) started six games as a redshirt freshman in 2016 and all eight he played last year. He was second on the team with 5.5 sacks last season, including two at Colorado, and for his career has 33 unassisted and 17 assisted tackles for a total of 50.

Also at defensive end, senior Robbie Schumacher (6-0, 253) had a couple of sacks last season and the defensive coaches are excited to have sophomore Gunner Gibson (6-3, 230), who was listed as a tight end on last year’s roster, back on their side of the ball.

Juniors Carson Leary (6-2, 243) and Riley Ammerman (6-3, 228) are also in the mix, as are redshirt freshmen Sean McCormick-Kuhman (6-1, 235) and Griffin Aube (6-3, 221).

On the inside of the defensive line, juniors Elijah Lewis and Jacob Bradshaw and sophomore Niko Kvietkus are among those back.

Lewis (6-1, 277) played as a true freshman in 2016, missed 2017 with an injury and started all 11 games in 2018, when he ranked second among defensive linemen in tackles with 34, including five tackles for loss.

Kvietkus (6-3, 279) enrolled at UNH in January 2018, played in nine games last year as a true freshman and had eight tackles.

Bradshaw is the big guy of the group at 6-1, 300 pounds. He saw action in 10 of 11 games a year ago and had five tackles.

Redshirt freshman Chris Donnelly (6-3, 251) has moved over from the offensive line and is in the mix at defensive tackle as well.

2019 UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE FOOTBALL 12

WWW.UNHWILDCATS.COM

2019 SEASON PREVIEW LINEBACKERS

The linebacking crew is anchored by senior Michael Balsamo, who was a starter at safety as a redshirt freshman before moving inside. Balsamo (6-0, 230) has played 24 games with four starts in two years as a linebacker. He made 35 stops, including five behind the line of scrimmage, in 11 games last season.

Senior Cameron Brusko (6-1, 201) had a strong spring. In three previous years, he saw some time at linebacker, but the majority of his plays were on special teams.

Junior Nelson Thomas (5-10, 208), who has switched from safety, had a breakout spring season and redshirt freshman J.J. Jerome (511, 208) will push for playing time as well.

RUNNING BACKS

The run game looks to pick up where it left off in 2018. Carlos Washington, Jr. took a handoff on the first play of UNH’s game at Villanova University late last October, broke through the line and raced his way to a 75-yard touchdown.

The touchdown set off a run of good times for the Wildcats.

Washington carried the ball 17 times that day for 179 yards, including a 16-yard score in the second quarter, to lift the ‘Cats to a decisive and tone-changing 34-0 victory.

In the last four games of the 2018 season, the ‘Cats churned out 185.2 yards per game and 10 touchdowns; the Wildcats rushed the ball 151 times for 741 yards (4.9 yards per carry).

Featuring a three-point attack at running back with Washington, now a sophomore, senior Evan Gray and redshirt freshman Dylan Laube, the Wildcats look to ride the momentum from that finish into the 2019 season.

Washington (5-11, 201) rushed 99 times for 582 yards – an average of 5.9 yards per carry and 52.9 rushing yards per game – and six touchdowns to lead UNH in every rushing statistic. He also had 17 catches for 164 yards and a score.

Gray (5-10, 233) was slowed by injuries last season and has rushed for over 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns in his career. Gray led the team with 650 yards rushing yards and eight TDs as a sophomore in 2017. He also caught 20 passes for 135 yards and a score that season.

Laube (5-10, 195) starred at Westhampton (N.Y.) High School on Long Island and has drawn comparisons to former Wildcat standout Dalton Crossan, who also came out of Long Island. He saw action in three games last year as a true freshman – he did not record any stats – and is coming off a productive spring.

Redshirt freshman Jacob Post (5-9, 206) is also in the mix at running back.

OFFENSIVE LINE

The silver lining to having a rash of injuries during a season is that

the situation opens up playing opportunities for multiple people.

Nine players had at least one start on the offensive line in 2018, and seven of them are back this year.

Two of the senior leaders in the group – 6-4, 285-pound tackle Jeff Carter and 6-2, 281-pound guard Matt Matulis – have come a long way the past year. Neither was considered a frontrunner for a starting job heading into the 2018 season, and both have taken an interesting journey to his role.

Matulis, slowed by injuries that threatened to end his career prematurely, started the last six games of the ‘18 season – all at left guard.

Carter worked his way into the starting lineup last season with three consecutive starts at left tackle, was hurt and came back to start the last two games at left tackle, then right tackle.

Nick Velte (6-3, 289) and Noah Robison (6-6, 286) are seniors who have starting experience. Robison started the first nine games of the 2018 season at right tackle before being sidelined by injury. Velte, who had five starts in ‘16 and two more in ‘17, was limited to four games – all off the bench – a year ago.

Juniors Matt Mascia (6-2, 278) and Jack Carroll (6-2, 285) have started as well. Mascia has started more than 20 games the past two seasons and that includes 10 last year at right guard. Carroll was UNH’s starting left guard the first two games a year ago, then was sidelined until the final three games, including a start at right guard in the finale.

Patrick Flynn (6-3, 277) and Riley Burns (6-3, 295) both earned starts last year as redshirt freshmen. Burns has experience at guard and played tackle this past spring. Flynn started every game at center, but will likely move to tackle this season.

Sophomore Cam Rush (6-4, 299) played in a couple of games last season. Osho Omoyeni (6-3, 299) is a redshirt freshman who had an impressive spring ‘19 at center.

Junior Curtis Linton, Jr. (6-3, 275; 3 GP), as well as redshirt freshmen David Perry, Jr. (6-5, 313; 1 GP), Matt O’Neill (6-4, 301) and Andrew Carter (6-6, 245), are also in the mix.

WIDE RECEIVERS & TIGHT ENDS Gone is Neil O’Connor, one of the most productive pass catchers in UNH football history. Open is the opportunity for a new crop of receivers to step up and fill the void left by O’Connor and Kieran Presley, who last year between them caught 104 passes for 1,251 yards.

(Note: the Wildcats had 183 catches for 1,923 yards.)

The ‘Cats do have some players with experience catching the ball, particularly in senior wide receiver Malik Love and tight end Justin Malone-Woods.

Love (5-10, 183) had impressive seasons his first two years, but missed almost all of last season with a hamstring issue. Love’s 59 catches led the team his first year and his 70 for as a sophomore were

2019 UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE FOOTBALL 13

2019 SEASON PREVIEW

second to O’Connor’s 99.

In his career, Love has 131 catches for 1,268 yards and four TDs. Malone-Woods (6-2, 241) has caught 27 passes for 355 yards and three touchdowns in his career. Those numbers include last year’s nine catches for 80 yards and one score.

Sophomores Brian Espanet and Benyeal Hill, Jr., are among the receivers vying for starting jobs and playing time. Espanet (6-3, 199) had three catches for 19 yards in 10 games played. Hill (6-0, 187) got banged up early in fall camp last year and played in a couple of games.

Senior Mike Vailas (6-0, 199) played all 11 games a year ago and had three catches for 27 yards; he is coming off a productive spring season. Junior Nick Lorden (6-4, 228) has 14 career catches for 155 yards and six touchdowns, but was slowed by injury this past spring.

Sophomore C.J. Turner (5-7, 172) had four catches as a true freshman in 2017 and also saw time returning kickoffs, but missed last year with injuries.

Others in the mix for playing time at wide receiver include sophomores R.J. Janeczek (6-1, 184) and Charles Briscoe III (6-0, 183), and redshirt freshman Symir Blacknall (6-0, 187), who is making the conversion from the defensive side of the ball (safety).

Freshman Thomas Splagounias (6-2, 224) and sophomore Ryan Finney (6-6, 260) are the other tight ends on the roster. Carson Leary (6-2, 243) has made the transition from defensive end to tight end.

QUARTERBACKS The search for the 2019 season’s starting quarterback started when the 2018 season ended.

It continued through winter workouts and spring football. Both head coach Sean McDonnell and quarterbacks coach Ricky Santos fully expect it will last through the beginning of fall camp and perhaps until the season opener against Holy Cross on September 7.

The Wildcats are in the market for a starting quarterback with the graduation of Trevor Knight, who’s been calling the shots the last few years.

Redshirt freshman Bret Edwards, freshman Max Brosmer, sophomores Tommy Herion and Stephen Hedberg, and senior Ivan Niyomugabo are in the running for the job.

Herion (6-1, 187) is the only one in the group who has taken a snap at quarterback in college. He had at least one pass attempt in seven games and completed 25 of 53 passes for 284 yards last season.

Brosmer and Edwards had their moments to shine during the spring. Brosmer is a true freshman who enrolled at UNH in January and participated in winter workouts and spring football. He wrapped up the spring by completing 12 of 19 passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns in the Blue/White scrimmage.

Edwards, effective last year running the scout team, was slowed the first part of spring by an injury and came on strong. In the spring Blue/White scrimmage, he completed 8 of 14 passes for 48 yards and a TD. Niyomugabo starred at Merrimack Valley High School in Penacook and Hedberg at St. Thomas Aquinas in Dover before completing a post-graduate year at Phillips Academy (Andover, Mass.). Hedberg was 2-for-7 for 20 yards in the spring scrimmage, whereas Niyomugabo did not attempt a pass.

SPECIAL TEAMS UNH has experience in both the kicking and return games, and that includes senior punter Drew Sanborn, who was an All-CAA Third Team honoree in 2018. In his first year as the first-string punter, Sanborn ranked third in the CAA conference with an average of 40.2 yards per punt. He recorded seven punts of 50+ yards, including a long of 60 yards at Colorado, and pinned the opponent inside the 20-yard line 27 times.

Junior Jason Hughes was the Wildcats’ starting placekicker in 2018 and also handled kickoff duties the last four games of the season.

Hughes was a perfect 22-for-22 on point-after-touchdown attempts and made 5 of 8 field goal attempts, including a long of 41 yards at Elon. He ranked second on the team in scoring with 37 points.

Hughes and redshirt freshman Jordan Conn will push Sanborn as the starting punter. Senior Mitch McPike battled through injury this past spring but will push Hughes when healthy.

Senior safety Pop Lacey is No. 1 on the depth chart at punt return.

He claimed that position midway through last season and returned 10 punts for 59 yards (5.9 yards/return); that included a long of 23 vs.

UAlbany.

Junior Evan Horn, another safety, was UNH’s primary punt returner in 2017 and the early part of the 2018 season. He could see time there again in ‘19.

The coaching staff is excited to see what senior wide receiver Malik Love, sophomore wide receiver C.J. Turner and redshirt freshman running back Dylan Laube can do on kickoff returns.

Of the three, Turner is the only one with experience. He was injured last season, but in 2017 he had 24 returns for 384 yards (16.0 yards/ return) with a long of 26 vs. Bryant.

THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION CAA Football has established itself as one of the nation’s premier FCS power conferences for more than a decade with its on-field success and national exposure, as well as the achievements of its student-athletes in the classroom, in the community and at the next level.

CAA Football made history in 2018 by becoming the first conference to ever have six teams (Delaware, Elon, James Madison, Maine, Stony Brook and Towson) receive berths in the NCAA Division I Football Championship. Ten of the CAA’s 12 teams have made the playoffs since 2015. The league has had multiple teams in the playoffs the past 28 years and at least three squads in the field the past 13 seasons. A CAA team has competed for the national championship in eight of the past 14 years.

CAA Football continued its success against non-conference opponents in 2018, finishing 22-9 against FCS foes and 24-19 overall. The league posted two victories over FBS competition for the third year in a row, and CAA Football teams have 38 wins against FBS opponents in its history. UNH accounts for five of those victories.

A strong presence in the national rankings was another constant in 2018 as CAA Football led all conferences with six teams in the final Top 25 polls. Ten of the 12 CAA teams, including UNH, were either ranked or receiving votes in the national polls at some point during the season.

A total of 19 CAA Football players were named to one or more All-America teams in 2018, while six players and one coach were selected as finalists for national Player/Coach of the Year awards from STATS. CAA Football continues to provide a path to the next level, with three players selected in the 2018 NFL Draft. The conference has had multiple players picked in each NFL Draft since 2006.

CAA Football begins a new broadcast agreement this season with partner FloSports, which will televise at least 50 games across its digital platform. In addition, several teams will have contests televised on regional sports networks.

CAA Football’s emphasis on its players’ off-the-field achievements was evident again in 2018. Stony Brook’s Chris Infantino was the recipient of the Chuck Boone Leadership Award, which honors the player who best embodies the highest standards of leadership, integrity, teamwork and sportsmanship in his academic and athletic pursuits. The award, first presented in 2012, has been bestowed upon a pair of UNH Wildcats – Chris Zarkoskie (2012) and Casey DeAndrade (2016).

Showing a desire to unite behind a common cause, all 12 CAA Football schools partnered with the Be the Match Foundation in 2018. UNH held its 10th annual Be the Match drive in April 2019 to raise awareness of the need for bone marrow donors.

CAA Football has enjoyed a tremendous record in the postseason, earning 108 total playoff berths and placing at least three teams in the field every year since 2006. The league’s 108 all-time wins in the NCAA playoffs are second-most of any FCS conference, and the conference has further established its presence at the national level by placing 14 teams in the national semifinals the past 13 seasons.

James Madison took home the national championship in 2016 with a 28-14 victory over Youngstown State.

It was the third title in a decade and sixth overall for CAA Football. Villanova captured the 2009 national championship and Richmond claimed its first FCS crown in 2008. In 2004, JMU won the national championship, becoming the first team since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986 to reach the final after winning three road playoff games. Delaware rolled past Colgate, 40-0, to capture the first title-game shutout in 2003.

Former league member Massachusetts earned a national championship in 1998.

CAA Football boasts a total of 30 individual national award winners in league history. Villanova quarterback John Robertson (2014), Old Dominion quarterback Taylor Heinicke (2012), New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos (2006), William & Mary quarterback Lang Campbell (2004), Villanova running back Brian Westbrook (2001), Nova wide receiver Brian Finneran (1997), UNH running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1998) all earned the Walter Payton Award as the top offensive player in FCS under the league banner. UNH linebacker Matt Evans (2011), James Madison defensive lineman Arthur Moats (2009), and JMU linebacker Derrick Lloyd (2001) each received the Buck Buchanan Award as the top defensive player in FCS, while JMU defensive lineman Andrew Ankrah was

New Hampshire’s Sean McDonnell (2005 and 2014), Towson’s Rob Ambrose (2011), JMU’s Mickey Matthews (1999 and 2008), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) are past Eddie Robinson Award winners from the league as the top coach in FCS. Maine’s Joe Harasymiak (2018), JMU’s Mike Houston (2016), McDonnell (2014), Matthews (2004), Talley (1997 and 2009), Delaware’s K.C. Keeler (2010), Richmond’s Mike London (2008), and Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) have all garnered the AFCA National Coach of the Year honor. Stony Brook’s Chris Infantino received the STATS Doris Robinson Scholar-Athlete Award in 2018.

The league remains successful beyond the collegiate playing field. CAA Football has had 119 players drafted by NFL franchises dating back to 1948. A total of 41 players have been selected in the draft over the last 14 years, including 2013 Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco of Delaware (18th overall to the Baltimore Ravens in 2008).

More than 30 players currently join Flacco on active NFL rosters.

CAA Football’s geographic footprint extends up and down the East Coast, with schools located from Maine to North Carolina. Members include UAlbany, Delaware, Elon, James Madison, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Richmond, Stony Brook, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary. Joe D’Antonio is in his fourth year as commissioner of CAA Football and the Colonial Athletic Association.

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 for 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 operational control of the conference from 19972006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004. With the conference under the CAA Football banner, UAlbany and Stony Brook were welcomed in 2013, followed by Elon in 2014.

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE The University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant college whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. Today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of 13,000+ and a graduate population of 2,400 in addition to 620 full-time faculty members, 86% of whom have earned their doctorate degree.

The University has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space while still maintaining the look and feel of a New England liberal arts college. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 18:1 with 83% of its classes having 50 students or less. UNH offers more than 200 degree programs with 50+ research centers and institutes as well as 570+ study abroad programs available. We don’t just prepare you for the world – we empower you to change it.

UNH hosts international students from 70 countries and boasts a population of students from all 50 states. The University sponsors 20 Division I athletic teams, as well as 31 club sports and 250 student-led organizations, and 15 percent of students are involved in Greek life. There are more than 150 public art performances and exhibits annually on campus, and the dining halls have received national recognition.

We’re a flagship university that hasn’t forgotten its roots: bringing faculty and students together to examine the past, engage with the present and build the future; doing work that contributes to the common good; and serving as a public resource within the borders of our state and way, way beyond.

Research excellence at UNH reaches from the uncharted ocean depths to the edge of our solar system and the Earth we call home. Powered by more than $100 million in competitive external funding, UNH research produces high-impact results that transform lives, solve global challenges and drive economic growth through productive partnerships with communities and businesses.

UNH actively promotes international engagement and cross-cultural understanding. In today’s globalized and interdependent world, studying international affairs and having a transnational perspective are critical for success and have never been more vital -- or valuable. With a dynamic roster of global opportunities, a teaching faculty conducting research worldwide and an increasingly international student body, UNH brings the world to our campuses and UNH to the world.

HISTORY Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher education whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families.

University of New Hampshire Athletic Department Mission Statement and Diversity Statement Mission Statement The mission of the intercollegiate athletics program at the University of New Hampshire is to provide student-athletes a collegiate experience that is enriched by their participation in programs which are competitive at the NCAA Division I level both regionally and nationally. The intercollegiate athletics program also plays an important role by enhancing the quality of life for the University and statewide community by being a source of pride and identification with the University while always maintaining high standards of academic scholarship and integrity.

To fulfill its mission, the intercollegiate program must: 1. Provide student-athletes every opportunity to meet academic and athletic demands with the goal of graduating every student-athlete.

2. Provide resources necessary to field competitive teams with league affiliations, and to gain regional and national recognition.

3. Provide equitable opportunities for all intercollegiate athletics by the active recruitment of minority athletes, and provide equitable opportunities for all women student-athletes commensurate with that of their male counterparts.

4. Provide excellent facilities for all athletes to train, practice and play.

5. Conduct all operations within state and federal law, University policies, rules of the NCAA and athletics conferences in which the University competes.

Diversity Statement The University seeks excellence through diversity among its administrators, faculty, staff, and students. The university prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, veteran status, or marital status. The University of UNH is committed to creating a more diverse community, knowing that “inclusion, diversity and equity are values inextricably linked to our mission of educational excellence.” This diversity strengthens our ability to reach our individual and collective potential and to provide better services and care for all faculty, staff, and students.

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with Dartmouth College before moving to Durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923.

With more than 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses eight schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of Health and Human Services, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, College of Life Sciences and Agriculture, School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering, Peter T. Paul School of Business and Economics, Carsey School of Public Policy and the Thompson School of Applied Science. At the very heart of the University’s undergraduate studies is the General Education Program. The GEP is a core program with a breadth of academic subjects that aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to understand oneself, others, society and the world.

CAMPUS In the 2000’s, several athletic facilities have received major upgrades and improvements. Most recently, Wildcat Stadium was completed in August 2016 as the new home of the football, men’s soccer and women’s lacrosse teams; the 11,015-seat venue includes skybox seats, suites, press box and concession stands, as well a videoboard. State-of-the-art center-hung videoboards were also installed at the Whittemore Center prior to the 2016-17 hockey season. In September 2001, the University completed a $2.15 million track and field facility.

The Jerry Azumah Performance Center, the strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House, was dedicated July 8, 2003. UNH athletics also added two $1.5 million outdoor artificial fields at Memorial Field and Bremner Field. Lundholm Gymnasium has received some major overhauls, including a new playing surface, new lights, new sound system, new bleacher system, new backboards and new scoreboards. The Paul Sweet Oval has been completely renovated to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture.

The University also continues to upgrade academic buildings. The $37 million Hamilton Smith Hall renovation and expansion was completed in September 2017. The project encompassed 91,000 square feet (26,000 renovated, 65,000 added) and 23 classrooms, six conference rooms, a Great Hall and seven lounge/study areas, two Technology-Enhanced Active Learning classrooms, and new lab spaces.

In 2013, UNH unveiled the new Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics. The $50 million building came is LEED “Gold” certified, a standard of environmentally friendly design and construction. The project was largely funded through private gifts, including a record-setting $25 million gift from alumnus and philanthropist Peter T. Paul, for whom the building is named.

The building has 900 classroom seats with thousands of business and non-business students coming in and out each day. Breakout rooms equipped with video screens and recording equipment provide advanced technology to enhance the way students interact with each other, faculty and members of the business community. Its Great Hall features comfortable seating areas for studying, and an on-site café supplies students with a convenient dining option.

Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University also completed a $52 million renovation of Kingsbury Hall, adding 6,000 square feet of student project space for students in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, as well as a $4.5 million revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the School of Health and Human Services. In addition, the new 120,000 square foot Biological Sciences Building, Rudman Hall and the Spaulding Life Sciences Renovation project now provide state-of-the-art teaching and researching laboratories.

The University also spent $15 million to complete Morse Hall, a science and engineering building as well as $8.2 million to modernize the Memorial Union Building. This revision to the existing student union building consisted of several upgrades including top kitchen and dining facilities, two theaters, student mailboxes, lounges and meeting rooms, as well as additional retail spaces such as the University Bookstore. The University has also completed construction of the new dining facility on Main Street, Holloway Commons, as well as the renovation of the Dimond Library.

Combining the atmosphere of a small New England liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the University of New Hampshire is a place where all students can find or create their own niche and succeed. While the University offers an extremely broad academic base with an inspiring faculty, it also provides students with thousands of opportunities to get involved, either through athletics, campus recreation, student life, or research.

THE ADMINISTRATION PRESIDENT James (Jim) W. Dean is the 20th president of the University of New Hampshire, elected unanimously by the University System of New Hampshire Board of Trustees to lead the state’s flagship public university, effective June 30, 2018.

Dean has more than 30 years of experience in public higher education scholarship, research, fundraising and leadership, most recently serving as executive vice chancellor and provost at the University of North Carolina, where he was a professor of organizational behavior. He joined UNC in 1997 as an associate professor of management and was appointed dean of the Kenan-Flagler Business School in 2008 before becoming provost in 2013.

As UNC provost, Dean directed innovative efforts to support academic achievement, enhance retention and graduation rates and reorganize resources to prepare students for success after college. He shared his deep, personal commitment to building a diverse and inclusive university culture throughout his tenure at UNC, from hiring seven new deans to working with student groups on a wide range of issues.

Dean believes that the nation’s public universities must rethink their efforts to better serve the public through teaching, research and engagement, and he adds that UNH is well-positioned to strengthen and even redefine its role as a leading public research university.

As dean of UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, he launched a highly-ranked online MBA program that increased revenue by millions of dollars, and his initiative to identify core values for the business school continues to shape the school 20 years later. As associate dean for executive education, Dean recruited new clients, including the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force, and increased revenue by 60 percent.

At UNH, Dean leads a university that:

• Contributes $1.5 billion to New Hampshire’s economy each year

• Is ranked #1 for safest university town in the country

• Has research instruments on more than 20 satellites orbiting the Earth

• Has raised over $300 million in its largest capital campaign

• Is home to the nation’s leading research center on sexual assault prevention

• Is the nation’s highest rated university for sustainability Dean and his wife, Jan, have two daughters and two grandchildren.

THE ADMINISTRATION DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS The 2019-20 academic year will mark the 20th year Marty Scarano has served as the director of athletics at the University of New Hampshire. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academic achievements, facility renovations and programmatic advancement being top priorities.

There has been over $45 million in capital improvements since Scarano’s hiring in the summer of 2000. The largest-scale renovation – Wildcat Stadium, a $25 million athletic complex that is home to multiple UNH teams and multi-purposed for other events – was completed in August 2016. The structure, built on the west side of Mooradian Field, offers increased and improved seating, state-of-the-art broadcast capability, concessions and restrooms, as well as a 30’ by 50’ video board. A new synthetic surface was installed in summer 2017. In July 2017, the University announced the approval of a new 3.7M dollar soccer and lacrosse facility – Turner Field – built adjacent to Wildcat Stadium on the site of Lewis Field.

Phase 1 of this project was completed in spring 2019.

In spring 2015, UNH finished construction on the $2 million Watkins Center for Student-Athlete Excellence at the Field House for its Division I and Northeast Passage studentathletes, funded entirely by private donations. That fall, the Whittemore Center – home to both ice hockey teams and site of the 2016 Women’s Frozen Four – received a substantial facelift ($1.3 million) in the form of a four-sided, center-hung video board, a high resolution end zone board and LED display band.

Scarano has helped elevate UNH athletics onto the collegiate national stage. To accomplish that goal, the University has taken on the task of hosting many major NCAA championships and that includes hostng the 2019 NCAA Men’s Hockey Northeast Regional, which marked the eighth time in 16 years UNH hosted a hockey regional. In 2017, UNH was host of both the NCAA Skiing Championships and Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regional at the Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester, N.H.), and the Wildcats also assisted Hockey East with the Men’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four at TD Garden (Boston, Mass).

UNH was host of the NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four at the Whittemore Center in 2002, 2005 and 2016. In addition, UNH successfully hosted the 2007 NCAA Skiing Championships in Washington Valley as well as the 2005 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Northeast Regional at the Whittemore Center.

New Hampshire will host a women’s gymnastics regional in 2021.

The women’s hockey team played in the first outdoor game in the history of NCAA women’s hockey in 2010 at the Sun Life Frozen Fenway game and defeated Northeastern, while the men’s squad played at Fenway Park in ’12 and ‘17. Football also competed in Colonial Clash games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., in 2010 and 2011; the Wildcats were victorious on both occasions against the University of Massachusetts.

Student-athletes have excelled both in academics and athletics during Scarano’s tenure. UNH has won the America East Academic Cup four of the past five years – 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019 – by recording the highest GPA among all conference student-athletes; the Wildcats placed the highest number of representatives on the America East Fall Academic Honor Roll seven consecutive years and then had the highest percentage of representatives on the Winter/Spring Honor Roll. New Hampshire won four sport-specific Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards in addition to the Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2017-18.

UNH had another stellar year of competition in the 2017-18 academic season. The Wildcats placed 71st in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup with a school-record 325 points and the Wildcats were the top-ranked America East school for the fifth consecutive year.

During Scarano’s tenure, UNH teams have made 83 NCAA postseason appearances and captured 28 conference titles. And in the incredible five-year run

by Elinor Purrier spanning cross country and both track & field seasons, she was the national champion in the mile at the 2017-18 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championship and was an 11-time All-American. The ski team has competed at the NCAA Championships every year and consistently places among the top 10 in the nation. Gymnastics has also been a model of consistency and with participation in 18 NCAA tournaments. The football program qualified for the NCAA FCS postseason 14 consecutive seasons (2004-18) and advanced to the semifinals in both 2013 and 2014. Men’s ice hockey holds a pair of Hockey East titles and has made 11 trips to the NCAA tournament, including Frozen Four appearances in 2002 and 2003. Women’s ice hockey has seen NCAA action five times with two Frozen Four appearances; the squad captured consecutive Hockey East Championships from 2006-09. Volleyball has also made seven NCAA tournament appearances, including a stretch of four consectuive years, after capturing conference titles in 1998, 2002, 2003, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. The field hockey team captured its second America East crown in three years – and third with Scarano at the helm – in 2013 en route to its third national tournament appearance. Women’s lacrosse has earned a pair of NCAA berths (2004, 2008), one coming after an America East championship victory in 2004.

Women’s soccer won its first America East tournament title in 2014 en route to its first NCAA tourney appearance. Two members of the women’s outdoor track and field team qualified for the NCAAs out of the regionals and earned team points with All-America efforts in the steeplechase in both ’15 and ’16; one of those runners earned All-America status all three seasons in both 2016-17 and 2017-18.The men’s soccer team received an at-large bid to the 2017 NCAA tourney, won a first-round home game – the program’s first-ever tourney win – and then advanced to the Round of 16; that program advanced to the NCAAs again in ‘18, this time as conference champion.

Additionally, 26 coaches have won 85 “Coach of the Year” awards during Scarano’s tenure, ranging from the conference, regional and national levels.

In 2007, Scarano was awarded the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) AD of the Year for the FCS. Additionally, Scarano was also named the All-American Football Foundation Athletic Director of the Year for FCS football in the Northeast region. Scarano was the chair of the executive committees for Atlantic 10 football, Hockey East and America East from 2003-07. Most recently he was both the Chairperson of Athletic Directors Council for America East and the chair of CAA Football from 2015-17.

He also served as chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Committee in 2005-06 and 2006-07. Scarano was a member of the Hockey East restructuring team that successfully recruited Notre Dame and University of Connecticut to the conference.

Scarano was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 2014. Outside of athletics, Scarano is in his 15th year on the Board of Corporators at Canterbury Shaker Village, a non-profit museum located in Canterbury, N.H. Before arriving at UNH, Scarano held the position of Athletics Director at Colorado College from July 1996 through June 2000. During his tenure, Colorado College was ranked among the top 20 Division III programs in the Sears Cup national standings and produced several All-Americans, all-academic award winners, NCAA post-graduate scholarship recipients and a Rhodes Scholar. Prior to his stay in Colorado Springs, Scarano worked for 13 years at Colgate University, where he served as assistant director of athletics, director of physical education, associate director, and senior associate director.

Scarano, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa., is a 1978 graduate of Penn State University, where he started his athletic career as assistant ticket manager and the athletics events manager from 1980-83. Scarano holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental History from Colgate. He and his wife, Cydney, have three children: daughter, Lynden; son, Kyle; and daughter, Corey.

FOOTBALL SUPPORT STAFF STRENGTH & CONDITIONING Paul Chapman is in his 18th year as the director of strength and conditioning at the University of New Hampshire and John Ciani, also in his 18th year, serves as Associate Director of Strength and Conditioning. Both Chapman and Ciani have earned the distinction of Master Strength and Conditioning Coach, which is the highest honor given by the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association.

Craig Edwards was named assistant strength and conditioning coach in August 2014. Alex Iverson joined the UNH staff as an assistant strength and conditioning coach in September 2018. Rebekkah Bond became a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach prior to the 2018-19 season.

Paul Chapman Chapman and Ciani helped coordinate the building of the state-of-the-art Jerry Azumah Performance Center and both have been key in guiding UNH student-athletes to NCAA appearances in both women’s and men’s ice hockey, football, gymnastics, women’s volleyball, women’s lacrosse, field hockey, skiing and track and field.

Chapman is a member of the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (strength and conditioning coach certified), USA Weightlifting (certified level 1 coach), the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and he was the state director of the National Strength and Conditioning Association in North Dakota from 1991-95. He has also authored four publications related to strength and conditioning and has trained and consulted several NFL, CFL and NHL athletes, and prospective athletes preparing for all-star games, bowl games and pre-draft testing.

John Ciani Prior to UNH, Chapman was the director of strength and conditioning for the University of North Dakota from 1992-2001 and served there on an interim basis during the 1991-92 season. His efforts were an integral part of a winning tradition at UND, as the football team was the Division II national champions in 2001, the men’s ice hockey team won a Division I national title in 1997 and 2000 and the women’s basketball team was the Division II national champion in 1997, 1998 and 1999.

Chapman is a 1990 graduate of Dickinson State University in North Dakota with a B.S. degree in Biology. He then went on to earn at M.S. in Exercise Science from North Dakota in 1994.

Ciani is very passionate about his commitment to strength and conditioning. He has taken his wide range of experiences to come up with a distinct sport-specific training philosophy. In conjunction with the coaching staff, Ciani develops individualized training programs depending on the athlete’s initial evaluation, experience level and current athletic ability. Under Ciani’s program, improvement is not based on the weight on the bar, but rather how injury resistant the student-athlete is and his/her athletic performance.

Strength and conditioning programs designed by Ciani utilize all facets of training, from conventional strength training and Olympic Weightlifting to simple conditioning and sport-specific metabolic runs that enhance the athlete’s abilities during competition. No single training style dominates the program; Ciani uses a combination of all training techniques for the total development of the student-athlete.

Alex Iverson Ciani was a featured speaker at the Vermont State Clinic for the National Strength & Conditioning Association in June 2010. The Sports Performance clinic, which was held at the University of Vermont Varsity Weight Room, was attended by athletic trainers strength coaches, personal trainers, and other fitness professionals across the New England area. In addition to Ciani, the clinic included presentations from strength coaches from Boston College, Dartmouth and Boston University.

Ciani, a native of the San Diego, Calif. area, came to UNH after a stint as assistant strength coach at the University of North Dakota.

During his tenure at UND, Ciani worked primarily with the 2001 Division II national championship football team, women’s volleyball and men’s basketball teams. In 2000, he began his career at Long Beach State as a graduate assistant working with the perennial national power women’s volleyball team, where he trained many All-American and national team level volleyball players, including Misty May. Ciani received his B.A. degree in Psychology from Long Beach State and attended graduate school at both Long Beach State and the Rebekkah Bond University of North Dakota.

Edwards supervises, directs and trains student-athletes with regards to exercise and lifting techniques. Edwards also works as a coordinator for Healthy UNH, specifically as the instructor for noon-time faculty/staff strength and conditioning. Healthy UNH’s mission is to promote a campus-wide initiative that encourages faculty, staff and students to improve their health while decreasing health care costs.

Edwards started as a strength and conditioning intern at UNH in September 2012. He helped develop and oversee a comprehensive training program for men’s and women’s track and field, focusing on sprints and jumps.

In June 2014, the University System of New Hampshire board of trustees approved UNH’s plan to renovate Cowell Stadium as part of its campus master plan. Attendance records were broken the inaugural season of Wildcat Stadium in 2016, only to have those shattered in 2017.

On Sept. 10, 2016, the UNH football team kicked off the inaugural season at Wildcat Stadium with a 39-28 victory against Holy Cross; Dalton Crossan carried the offense with 24 rushes for 199 yards and two TDs in front of 13,242 fans. That record-setting attendance for a UNH home opener was surpassed in 2017, when 15,854 people packed Wildcat Stadium for UNH’s 24-23 victory against arch rival Maine in the inaugural Thursday Night Throwdown; it was the first time the ‘Cats played their home opener on a weeknight.

Wildcat Country broke the home attendance record at Homecoming in 2016 and 2017. On Oct. 1, 2016, a crowd of 21,943 saw New Hampshire defeat William & Mary, 21-12. One year later (Sept. 23, 2017), the Wildcats were 28-14 victors against Rhode Island in front of 22,135 fans.

UNH football broke the season attendance record each of the first two years in Wildcat Stadium. In the 2016 season, a total of 57,782 fans entered the gates of Wildcat Stadium for an average of 9,630. Those numbers were surpassed in 2017, when attendance reached 66,141 with an average of 11,024. UNH football once again exceeded 60,000 fans with an average attendance of 10,154 for six home games in the 2018 season.

The foundation of success at home that was built at Cowell Stadium has continued in Wildcat Stadium. UNH has a 13-5 record (72.2 win percentage) that includes 2-0 in postseason games. In the first ever Wildcat Stadium playoff game, UNH defeated Lehigh, 64-21, in an NCAA FCS Division I first round game on Nov. 26, 2016. One year later, the ‘Cats recorded their first ever postseason shutout with a 14-0 win vs. Central Connecticut State on Nov. 25, 2017.

Construction of Wildcat Stadium began in May 2015 with the demolition of the previous visitor’s bleachers on the west side of Mooradian Field, and the official groundbreaking ceremony was held May 29. Blasting cleared the area in June and concrete was poured for the foundation in July. One month later, the lighting of the stadium was upgraded as one light pole was relocated and another was installed to increase the number to six light poles.

With the football team in San Jose, Calif. for its season opener on Sept. 3, 2015, the first steel beams were raised back in Durham. The last steel beam was installed in October. Construction on the infrastructure continued through winter, and windows were installed for the Service Credit Union Victory Club, suites and top level in March 2016. In the next two months, the bleachers, seats and speakers were installed. The 30x50 foot video board was erected in June and the previous concrete press box on the east concourse was torn down. Wildcat Stadium was completed on schedule in August 2016.

JERRY AZUMAH PERFORMANCE CENTER As a starting tailback at the University of New Hampshire, Jerry Azumah ‘99 earned a reputation as an unstoppable record breaker. By the time he graduated from the University and joined the Chicago Bears as a fifth-round draft pick, he had already smashed four NCAA FCS career records and been awarded the Walter Payton Award for his outstanding achievement as the nation’s top offensive player. At the age of 25, he did it again. With a gift to fund the Jerry Azumah Athletic Performance Center, he was the youngest UNH alum on record to give a gift of more than $100,000 to his alma mater. The gift provided funding for the renovation and complete overhaul, including state-of-the-art equipment of the University’s strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House.

The Azumah Performance Center opened in summer 2003. The massive workout facility, which was originally 4,000 square feet, grew to over 6,000 square feet during a summer renovation in ‘09. The renovated center features 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 18 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines, an additional 15,000 pounds of weights and 1,500 square feet of warmup area.

“His National Football League profile will tell you that Jerry Azumah was 5-11, weighed 195, and played defensive cornerback with the Chicago Bears,” said Marty Scarano, University of New Hampshire athletic director. “What those statistics miss is the size of Jerry Azumah’s heart. We are so proud to have Jerry’s name affiliated with the University of New Hampshire. Jerry was a leader while attending UNH and continues to set a great example as a graduate.”

Azumah is the son of Theophilius and Bertha Azumah, natives of Ghana who settled in Worcester, Mass.

He came to UNH in 1995 as a freshman, majored in sociology, and minored in justice studies.

“My scholarship at UNH allowed me to pursue my interests in the classroom, build a successful college football career and changed my life on every level,” Azumah said. “I’m pleased to be able to make a major contribution to my university and to bring new opportunities to today’s studentathletes.”

During his four years at UNH, Azumah was an All-American tailback and has been referred to as a player who comes along once in a coach’s lifetime by former UNH football coach Bill Bowes. He holds numerous school records, including the record for touchdowns rushing (60) and overall TDs (69), and FCS records for rushing yards (6,193), all-purpose yards (8,376) and points scored (424). He had the six best – and eight of the top 10 – UNH rushing games ever. At that time, he was the only runner in FCS history to have four 1,000-yard seasons.

Azumah is one of the only players in the history of the NFL to make the transition from offense to being a starting cornerback. In 2003, he became the first Wildcat to ever play in the Pro Bowl, where he excelled as a return specialist. He was a full-time starter at cornerback from 2001 through 2005 and made significant contributions on defense. Azumah holds the distinction of being the last Chicago Bear to score a touchdown at Soldier Field when he intercepted Donovan McNabb in a divisional playoff game versus the Philadelphia Eagles and ran 39 yards for a touchdown Jan. 19, 2002. The play gave the Bears a 14-13 lead in the third quarter.

Azumah announced his retirement from NFL football in 2006 due to injuries, but he continues to keep in touch with his alma mater and is always looking for new ways he can help the University, the athletic department and the Wildcat football program.

The James H. “Red” Hayes Locker Room

Solely for the use of the football players and staff is the James H. “Red” Hayes Football Locker Room, located on the bottom level of the Field House adjacent to Wildcat Stadium. Constructed in 1988, the locker room was a gift of Red Hayes (‘32), a former Wildcat player under legendary coach William Cowell who went on to a successful business career and gave distinguished service to the State of New Hampshire. The locker room features 110 separate lockers that accommodate each player’s equipment and uniform, as well as a players’ lounge adjacent to the locker area.

Locker room renovations during the summer of 2012 led to the installation of a new lighting system, the addition of a 55-inch flat screen TV and Fathead-designed murals (pictured right) featuring historical Wildcat moments. The Brice-Cowell Musket (below), which goes to the winner of the annual UNH-Maine gridiron battle, resides on the wall of the locker room. A locker memorial for Todd Walker was added in honor of the former Wildcat who suffered an untimely and heroic death in March 2011 while protecting a female friend.

The locker room received a facelift in both summer 2017 and summer 2019.
