PRESIDENT ’S LE T TER Whether you’re a parent, an athlete, a member of the media or a spirited spectator, I am pleased to welcome you to our Yellow Jacket community and look forward to cheering on the Jackets with you! As a member of the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC), Waynesburg University offers 20 NCAA Division III varsity sports for our hundreds of student-athletes. While the reasons for participation in these sports are many, all of our athletic programs are aimed at helping our student-athletes grow spiritually, intellectually and athletically during their collegiate experience. During the 2017-18 academic year, 134 Waynesburg University student-athletes earned recognition on the PAC fall and spring Academic Honor Rolls, an impressive achievement that illustrates the President Douglas G. Lee caliber of student-athletes at Waynesburg. That total was tops amongst the 10 member schools of the conference. Through the hard work and dedication of these same individuals, Waynesburg claimed four PAC team titles for a second-straight year. Our goal is to provide our student-athletes with the best possible education and experiences that will prepare them to lead lives of purpose. We actively recruit student-athletes with high academic standards who will pursue excellence in the classroom and community while competing at the highest level in their chosen sport. In addition to the accomplishments made by our student-athletes, Waynesburg University has also been recognized as a national leader in educational value and outcomes by U.S. News and World Report, Colleges of Distinction, Money Magazine and USA Today. On behalf of Waynesburg University students, faculty and staff, I would like to thank you for your interest in our athletic programs. I hope that you enjoy another great year of athletic competition at Waynesburg University!

JOHN F. WILEY STADIUM By Danny Reed Class of 2007, Fullback (2003-06)
Over the course of more than 150 years, Waynesburg has enjoyed a bevy of athletic success, of which the football field‘s namesake, John F. Wiley, was an integral part. Dr. Wiley graduated from Waynesburg in 1941 and etched his place in the history of college football, as he was the starting fullback for the Yellow Jackets in the first-ever televised football game against Fordham University in 1939. Ten years after he graduated, Wiley returned to coach and achieved a 22-9-1 record from 1951-54. The current John F. Wiley Stadium was officially dedicated on Oct. 26, 1995, and has since received numerous renovations, making it a premier athletic site. In 1997, the Frank Wolf Fieldhouse, honoring the school’s all-time winningest coach, was constructed beyond the west end zone and houses the game day dressing room and visitor’s locker room. For the 1999 season, the stadium was renovated to hold a 4,000 seating capacity and became a five-story structure with the addition of the Mo Scarry Skybox, in honor of the former coach and NFL player and coach. Scarry holds the distinction of being a defensive line coach for the 1972 Super Bowl Champion Miami Dolphins who finished 17-0, the only NFL team to Frank Wolf Fieldhouse was constructed in 1997. ever have an undefeated season. In March of 2006, it was announced that the field’s grass surface would be uprooted for the installation of the latest FieldTurf 2 1/2” monofilament synthetic turf by Amity Asphalt Paving Inc. of Houston, Pa. The new surface was completed in time for the start of the 2006 football season and was replaced before the 2017 campaign. Since the field was renamed in 1995, John F. Wiley Stadium bared witness to two conference championship teams and countless record-breaking events. On Oct. 17, 1998, Waynesburg clinched a three-way share of its The playing surface at John F. Wiley Stadium was first PAC Championship defeating replaced during the summer of 2017. Grove City, 33-13. Then, on Nov. 15, 2003, the Yellow Jackets clinched their first outright PAC title in school history, defeating Westminster, 34-20. The victory also earned Waynesburg its first-ever berth in the NCAA Division III national playoffs. 4
2018 FOOTBALL GUIDE
JOHN F. WILEY STADIUM Individual records have also fallen, beginning with the legendary performance of Grove City’s two-time All-American fullback R.J. Bowers on Oct. 14, 2000. In that contest, Bowers broke former two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin’s record of 31 consecutive 100-yard games, rushing 47 times for 266 yards and three touchdowns in a 32-29 victory in four overtimes. Bowers also became the NCAA’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns with 84. Waynesburg running back Ryan Abels broke a record of his own on Sept. 23, 2006, becoming the school’s all-time leading rusher in a 29-18 win over Grove City. Abels finished his career with 3,985 yards, 688 yards more than former record-holder Mike Stout. Seven years ago, the Yellow Jackets made their own impact on both the school record books and the national statistical rankings. In 2007, running back Robert Heller set new school standards for rushing yards in a season (2,176) and touchdown runs (26). Those marks were also the best in all of Division III. On defense, defensive end Mike Czerwien rolled up a whopping 23 sacks and 34.5 tackles for loss. Both numbers were not only new school records, they also were the best in the country. Records have fallen, players have come and gone and memories have been made, making it an undeniable fact that John F. Wiley Stadium has become a definitive homefield advantage for the Yellow Jackets.
THE 12TH MAN - JACKET EXPRESS
Wiley Stadium gives Waynesburg perhaps the most unique in-game feature in the region as the Norfolk Southern frequently rolls by, affectionately nicknamed the “Jacket Express.” Not only does the express provide opposing offenses with constant headaches, but it is also indicative of the importance of the coal mining industry in southwestern Pennsylvania.

SEASON OUTLOOK After spending last year working under the interim tag, Chris Smithley was officially announced as head coach of the Waynesburg University football team shortly after the end of the 2017 season. With a full offseason under his belt as leader of the program, Smithley is focused on returning the Yellow Jackets to the upper echelon of the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC). Waynesburg is coming off a 2-8 campaign that featured victories over conference rivals Thiel and Saint Vincent. In preparation for his second year at the helm, Smithley has retooled his coaching staff with several internal moves that include him taking over the bulk of the offensive coordinator duties. The longtime former Waynesburg player and assistant served as the team’s OC in his first year back with the squad (2016) after spending the previous four seasons in various positions at Washington & Jefferson. THE OFFENSE The Jackets will be looking for more stability at multiple positions that will lead to an improvement in last year’s 14.8 points per game average. As previously mentioned, Smithley will serve as the team’s offensive leader and handle the play-calling duties. While the Orange and Black didn’t feature many leaders in PAC offensive categories this past fall, they bring back a bevy of veteran performers, especially in the offensive backfield. Many of those individuals showcased outstanding utility in their abilities by contributing in a multitude of ways. QUARTERBACKS Current junior Tyler Perone won the starting job under center out of training camp and handled the majority of the snaps over the first seven games of the season. During that time he completed 98-of-213 pass attempts for 878 yards and seven touchdowns. Prior to the team’s week-eight home game against Thiel, the keys to the offense were turned over to former starter and honorable mention All-PAC honoree Jake Dougherty and the focal point shifted heavily towards the ground game. With Dougherty, who is heading into his senior campaign, at the controls, the Jackets defeated both Thiel and 12
Current Junior Chad Walker not only led Waynesburg in receptions, but was one of its top rushers in 2017.
Saint Vincent while averaging 272 rushing yards and 32.5 points per game. For the season, Dougherty finished fourth on the team in rushing with 165 yards and three touchdowns on 55 attempts. While Perone and Dougherty are once again considered the favorites to lead in the huddle, Waynesburg also brings a lot of young depth to the position in 2018. Sophomores Mason Schrenker, Jakob Lester and Tyler Srbinovich are all back and will be joined by a handful of freshmen to give the program one if its biggest groups at the position in recent memory. RUNNING BACKS No fewer than six ball carriers recorded totes for Waynesburg last year, with four of those individuals returning this year. The loss of senior Austin Wilson, who broke the 100-yard mark in a game twice last year, will be a difficult one, but, if the group can avoid the rash of injuries that plagued it, the Waynesburg ground game should see a significant improvement. Chad Walker, who was also the team’s leading receiver, paces all returning ball carriers 2018 FOOTBALL GUIDE
SEASON OUTLOOK rienced quarterbacks. Grishaber led the trio with 14 catches that went for 116 yards. Booth grabbed 13 receptions for 178 yards, which equates to 13.7 yards per grab. Booth pulled in four balls for 63 yards against Grove City. Jones showed flashes of being perhaps the team’s most dangerous offensive weapon. He recorded just eight catches, but those passes went for 128 yards (16.0 ypg) and two touchdowns. Jones also grew into the team’s most dangerous option on special teams. When it came to the most reliable hands on the field, those belonged to Walker, who picked up 28 catches for 163 yards and two scores. The junior from Virginia went for a six and seven catches, respectively, in back-toback games against Westminster and Carnegie Mellon.
Junior Cody Edwards saw starting time on both sides of the line of scrimmage as the 2017 season played to its conclusion.
after recording 57 carries for 171 yards and a touchdown. He exploded for 104 yards and a score on 16 carries during the Jackets’ 34-7 victory over Thiel Senior Ben Ciero missed all of 2017 after showing promise in 2016 (66 carries, 239 yards, 3 touchdowns). If healthy, the 5-7, 225-pound veteran provides power and toughness to the backfield. Smithley believes that several members of this year’s freshman crop of running backs can make a similar early contribution to the offense. RECEIVERS This year’s group of Waynesburg ball catchers doesn’t have the most impressive resume, but it features a nice mix of youth and experience that saw valuable field time this past fall. Several younger receivers showcased noticeable improvement as 2017 wound down to its conclusion. Junior Bobby Grishaber, sophomore JaWuan Jones and sophomore Cole Booth look to be the favorite targets for the team’s expewww.waynesburgsports.com
Waynesburg’s offense typically doesn’t utilize a tight end regularly, especially in the aerial attack. However, junior Alex Stoy brings solid size (6-2, 235), as does sophomore Scott Lazarus (6-2, 195). OFFENSIVE LINE While there are plenty of questions on the offensive side of the ball, who will lead the offensive front is not of them. Alex Paulina, who started every game at left tackle, will be back to protect the Jacket passers and open up holes for the running attack. Paulina is a load at 6-4, 335 and was named honorable mention All-PAC in his first year after transferring to Waynesburg. Most of the returning linemen are young, but saw plenty of snaps this past season. Junior Tanner Six is another big body (6-0, 325), who has seen plenty of snaps in his first two seasons with the team. He started six of the nine games in which he appeared, including six of the team’s last seven contests. Junior Cody Edwards looks to be the most athletic member of the line. He started six of the eight games in which he appeared, but the biggest question with Edwards deals with which side of the ball will he see most of his Sophomore Eric McDowell’s workload increased towards the end of his freshman campaign, making all four of his starts in the 13
SEASON OUTLOOK second half of the year. Sophomore Shawn Willard, who stands 6-5 and weights in around 260, is a converted tight end that will be moved to the offensive line this year. Young players like McDowell and Willard, along with this year’s crop of newcomers, will be counted upon to fill out depth in the trenches, as well as push older players for starting jobs. THE DEFENSE Graduation leaves the Waynesburg defense with some holes to fill on the line and at the linebacker position, but both units still bring back quality starters to anchor each of them. The strength of this side of the ball for the team definitely appears to be the secondary, which should be not only the most talented group on either side of the ball, but also feature the most depth. Regardless of where perceived deficits show up in the Jacket defense, veteran coordinator Scott Venick has a proven that he is adept at putting his players in the best position to succeed on the field. DEFENSIVE LINE Senior Will VanNorman won the starting nose tackle job in camp last year and never relinquished the spot. Thanks in part to the athleticism he has developed both on the gridiron and the wrestling mat, VanNorman led all Yellow Jacket defensive linemen with 36 total tackles. He recorded 3.5 tackles for loss, two of which were sacks, and recovered a fumble. As previously mentioned, Cody Edwards started on both sides of the line last year and all signs point to him being a leader for starting snaps this season. He saw most of his action at defensive tackle. The Jackets will need to replace a pair of graduated starters on the ends of the line and junior Josh Biernacki, who appeared in six games during his sophomore season, looks to be a leading candidate for one of the spots. Juniors Brayton Edwards and Ray Paquet, as well as sophomores Caleb Stephens and Brandon Leasure are among the veterans looking to take a step up in terms of workload. 14
Senior linebacker John-Glen Davis finished fourth in the PAC with 91 total tackles in his first year as a collegiate starter.
LINEBACKERS Senior Waynesburg native John-Glen Davis will be counted upon to anchor the Jacket linebackers after exploding onto the scene as an everyday starter. Davis was named honorable mention All-PAC after racking up 91 tackles, a total that ranked first on the team and fourth in the conference. He also piled up a squad-high 9.0 tackles for loss, recovered three fumbles and forced another. There are still plenty of questions to be answered at linebacker after the graduation of all-conference standouts Brent Blacharczyk and Tristan Sandrosky. Luckily, the Jackets also have two seniors that will no doubt be going all-out in their final collegiate season. Logan Eller saw his most snaps as a Yellow Jacket, appearing in seven games. The same can be said for Austin Kline, who recorded 16 total tackles, half of which were solo stops, over eight contests in which he appeared. A handful of sophomores that includes Kyle Rhodes, Anthony Mirabile, Roman Lessard, Austin Deutsch and Aaron Gray are all back 2018 FOOTBALL GUIDE
SEASON OUTLOOK after getting their collective feet wet as freshmen. DEFENSIVE BACKS Venick can get very creative with this year’s members of the secondary, who range greatly in size and experience. From senior second-team All-PAC honoree Justin Willkow (6-2, 202), to sophomore Charles Poindexter (5-8, 130), this year’s defensive backs can do a lot of different things on the field and will need to do them all well if the defense is going to elevate its level of play. Willkow seemed to turn the corner during his junior campaign, when his combination of size, strength and speed allowed him to become of the league’s best cornerbacks. Injuries forced Poindexter to move from playing almost exclusively on special teams to the spot across from Willkow. Despite his small size, Poindexter made the most of the opening and showcased a fearlessness and willingness to hit that endeared him to his coaches. Waynesburg is also excited about the return of Brennan Sefick, who missed all of his sophomore campaign with an injury. After transferring from Division II Alderson Broaddus, Sefick put up respectable numbers as a freshman (27 tackles, six pass breakups) and was expected to be a leading candidate for a starting corner spot in 2017. The Jackets bring four safeties into camp who logged at least nine games in the defensive backfield this past fall. Junior VaShon Graham led the group with 74 total hits, while fellow junior Tyler Smith logged 52 tackles and broke up three passes. Junior Dan Verhovsek and senior Andrew Brncic also got plenty of experience bringing down opposing players with 27 and 22 tackles, respectively. Brncic showcased his versatility with a sack and a pass breakup, while Verhovsek is also a two-year starter for the Yellow Jacket wrestling team and has participated in tennis in the spring.

SPECIAL TEAMS A pair of veterans will duke it out to get the nod at kicker, while the race to replace graduated punter R.J. Leon is as wide open as any that will be competed in camp. JuWuan Jones recorded his first special teams touchdown when he took a punt back 84 yards for a touchdown against Thiel. He’ll look to make a similar impact in the return game as a sophomore KICKERS The race for the starting kicker job is an interesting one. Two years ago, then-freshman Mike Ryhal managed to wrestle the duties away from then-sophomore Garret Guthrie and proceeded to 10-for-10 in PAT tries and knock down six-of-eight field goal attempts. This past year, Guthrie, who showcased noticeable improvement in his leg strength, took over the top spot in the depth chart. The senior went 19-of-20 extra point tries and drilled three-of-five field goal attempts. At least one freshman kicker is expected to join the orange and black ranks this season, but the job is expected to come down to Ryhal or Guthrie. PUNTERS With Leon gone, Waynesburg brings back just one veteran punter in Joshua DePasquale. Smithley has said that he will look at any-andall options, including DePasquale, to find his punter. RETURNERS Jones is expected to be the main threat in both punt and kick returns. He averaged 19.6 yards per punt return and 21.8 per kick return. Chad Walker could also see some opportunities to make an impact on special teams. The Jackets kick off the 2018 season on Saturday, Sept. 1, with a 1:30 p.m. home game against Muskingum. Waynesburg begins PAC competition two weeks later when they make their first trip to Bethany since 2014. The Yellow Jackets’ first night game of the season kicks off at 7 p.m.

2018 FOOTBALL GUIDE
SERIES NOTES VS. 2018 OPPONENTS Muskingum
Carnegie Mellon
Waynesburg leads 10-9-0 First meeting - 1904 - MUSK 33-5 Last meeting - 2017 - MUSK 19-0
Carnegie Mellon leads 11-4-0 First meeting - 1907: CMU 17-0 Last meeting - 2017: CMU 30-20
Series Notes: These two schools, separated by 110 miles, will open against one another for the seventh consecutive season. After winning four consecutive lid-lifters and six-straight overall in the series, Waynesburg has come up short in each of the last two meetings.
Series Notes: Waynesburg led 10-6 at halftime and found itself tied with the Tartans heading into the fourth quarter. Unfortunately CMU won the fourth quarter 13-3 to pick up the victory. The Jackets’ last win over the Tartans came in the 2012 ECAC SW Bowl.
Westminster
Grove City
Westminster leads 40-32-3 First meeting - 1910: WES 17-0 Last meeting - 2017: WES 28-7
Waynesburg leads 32-18-5 First meeting - 1903: GCC 23-6 Last meeting - 2017: GCC 21-14
Series Notes: Waynesburg will try to end its current three-game losing streak against the Titans. The Yellow Jackets trailed by just a touchdown (14-7) going into the fourth quarter of last year’s game, but a pair of Westminster scores seasled the deal.
Series Notes: Last year’s 21-14 win was Grove City’s first in its series with Waynesburg since 2009. The Wolverine defense limited the Jackets to their fewest points in the 55-game series since Grove City pulled out a 7-6 triumph in 2005.
Bethany
Saint Vincent
Waynesburg leads 29-19-7 First meeting - 1899: WAY 28-0 Last meeting - 2015: BET 27-14
Waynesburg leads 19-13-4 First meeting - 1929: WAY 19-6 Last meeting - 2017: WAY 31-21
Series Notes: These two PAC rivals will meet up for the first time in three years thanks to the conference having 11 members prior to this season. Waynesburg last defeated the Bison in 2012, making it the longest winless drought in terms of years of any 2018 opponent.
Series Notes: Waynesburg has won nine of the 12 contests played in the series since Saint Vincent resurrected its program in 2007. Last season the Jackets took a 24-14 lead at halftime and picked up their second win of the season on senior day.
Geneva Waynesburg leads 45-32-4 First meeting - 1908: WAY 5-0 Last meeting - 2017: GEN 35-14 Series Notes: After Waynesburg won five-straight games from 2010 to 2014, the Golden Tornadoes have taken control of the series, having won the last three meetings. Last year’s 35-14 GT win was the most lop-sided final score since before 2007.
Case Western Reserve Case Western leads 3-1 First meeting - 2014: WAY 35-15 Last meeting - 2017: CWR 56-21 Series Notes: After the Yellow Jackets won the first-ever meeting of the two opponents 35-15 back in 2014, the Spartans have dominated the series, winning the last three three meetings by 31.3 points per game.
Thiel
Washington & Jefferson
Waynesburg leads 31-9-1 First meeting - 1913: THI 20-0 Last meeting - 2017: WAY 34-7
Washington & Jefferson leads 41-4 First meeting - 1897: W&J 22-0 Last meeting - 2017: W&J 42-0
Series Notes: Last year’s lop-sided win over the Tomcats ended what was then an 11-game losing streak for Waynesburg. The Jackets’ 284 yards rushing were their most since 2012. Conversely, the Jacket defense yielded its fewest points since 2014.
Series Notes: Last year’s season-ending loss was the first time Waynesburg has been shut out by W&J since 1992. It was the third time the two geographic rivals met on the gridiron after the Yellow Jackets joined the PAC.

Game Notes: A new era in the history of Waynesburg University football got underway when interim head coach Chris Smithley made his debut with the Yellow Jackets. The game certainly couldn’t have gone how Smithley had planned, as the Jackets were defeated 19-0 by Muskingum. The loss marked the first time that Waynesburg (0-1) had been shut out since 2001. Depite giving up two touchdowns and two field goals, the Jacket defense did more than its part on the day. The unit held Muskingum to a respectable 283 yards of total offense. Waynesburg also forced four fumbles, three of which were recovered, and notched nine total tackles for loss. SCORING SUMMARY

Game Notes:The Waynesburg University football team hosted the Westminster Titans
in the fifth annual Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) Kickoff Classic for its home opener. The Yellow Jackets stayed right with the Titans for more than three quarters and trailed by just seven points (14-7) in the fourth period of play. Unfortunately, Westminster was able to break through for a pair of touchdowns over the last 15 minutes to seal up a 28-7 victory. Though the game pitted two PAC opponents against each other, the result didn’t count towards either team’s conference record due to the league’s unbalanced schedule. Though the Jackets were unable to produce enough to down Westminster, the offense took noticeable strides forward from its week-one loss at Muskingum. Sophomore running back Jarves Crews made the most of his first collegiate start by rushing for a game-high 77 yards on 17 carries. Sophomore Chad Walker made his first collegiate start at wide receiver and caught a game-best six balls for 26 yards.

PRESIDENTS’ ATHLE TIC CONFERENCE The Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC), built on the basic belief that an athletic program is an integral part of college life, but not an entity in itself, looks back on over sixty years of growth and ahead to years of continued academic and athletic excellence. The league’s name clearly reflects its founding principle that operational control of all aspects of intercollegiate athletics is ultimately the responsibility of the presidents of each member institution, and thus active presidential leadership and oversight is paramount in conference administration. Formally organized in 1955 by Western Reserve University, John Carroll University, Case Institute of Technology, and Wayne State University, the PAC was the result of a realization that college athletics, despite numerous virtues for the individual and the institution, were gradually becoming a financial and academic burden. If athletics were to be continued, action had to be taken to place the program on its proper level. This included the premise that benefits of participation should be provided to as many students as possible. The PAC and its membership continue its original, defining mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence. Institutions involved understand that the key components to its progress lie in the foundation of faith in each member by each other member. It is the conviction of its membership that the PAC is the solution to the dilemma of intercollegiate athletic competition, and they have staked their athletic future on this premise. Currently comprised of nine select private institutions – Bethany College, Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Washington & Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College – the PAC remains a unique organization in this day of high pressure intercollegiate athletics, with academics at the center of each member’s philosophy. The PAC expanded its membership to seven members in 2005 with the addition of Thomas More College, formerly a NCAA Division III independent. Thomas More’s 12-year membership in the PAC ended with the conclusion of the 2017-18 academic year. Saint Vincent, a former National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) member, joined the conference in 2006 as it began its reclassification to Division III status. Another former NAIA member, Geneva, became the conference’s ninth member and began league play in 2007 as it started its Division III reclassification. Chatham became the league’s 10th member, also in 2007. In 2012, the PAC Presidents’ Council voted to add Carnegie Mellon University and Case Western Reserve University as affiliate members in the sport of football beginning with the 2014 season. Franciscan University of Steubenville was accepted as an affiliate member in men’s and women’s lacrosse in December 2017 and will begin PAC play in 2019. The PAC crowns league champions and awards all-conference honors in its 23 championship sports (12 men, 11 women). Head coaches determine all-PAC squads for all team sports, while in individual sports, such as cross country and golf, all-PAC accolades are based upon performances at the conference championships. The PAC, which celebrated its 60th anniversary during the 2014-15 academic year, annually awards its men’s and women’s All-Sports Trophies to the schools which perform best across the board in PAC competition. The Thomas More men and Westminster women captured the 2017-18 trophies. Staying true to its original mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence, the PAC has seen nearly 300 of its participating student-athletes recognized as Academic All-Americans, while the league has also produced numerous NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Last year, the conference named a record 1,144 student-athletes to its PAC Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes all participating student-athletes who earn a term grade-point average of 3.60 or above.
