MISSION STATEMENT

SCHOOL INFORMATION

2015 WSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Wayne State University believes that intercollegiate athletics are an important and wholesome adjunct to the principal purposes of the University: (1) the advancement of knowledge through research and investigation; and (2) the dissemination of knowledge through teaching. To that end, participants in intercollegiate athletics must be, first and foremost, students whose fundamental aim is to obtain a sound education. A major mission of the University is to achieve an increasing level of excellence in the quality of its programs and to enhance the visibility and recognition of the University as a whole. Students who participate in intercollegiate athletics are directly involved in the implementation of this mission of excellence, and by such participation, provide a unifying objective of community and University. Wayne State University believes that a well-balanced program in intercollegiate sports is important so long as it remains in proper focus as an ancillary of the real purposes of the University; so long as it remains under academic control; so long as the players are bona fide students; and so long as the coaches strive to instill qualities of honesty, sportsmanship and clean play.

2015 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR ROB FOURNIER

Since Rob Fournier was named Director of Athletics at Wayne State University on September 1, 2000, a lot has changed. In those 15 years, the department’s competitive success, classroom achievements, community outreach initiatives and the physical structure of the athletic campus has seen a significant transformation. That development has followed a strategic plan that models business forecasting and has realized defined goals/ objectives. The results are well-documented. That competitive success is evident in Wayne State’s national standing against all Division II institutions. WSU’s 14 best finishes in the prestigious NACDA Cup standings (which measures the overall competitive success of athletic programs around the country) have all occurred in the last 14 years including the three highest marks ever in the past seven years – 11th in 2009, 14th in 2014 and 21st in 2010. Those finishes secured an unprecedented top four (4%), top five (5%) and top seven (7%) percent ranking among all Division II athletic programs in the country. Ten of 18 athletic teams advanced to the NCAA tournament last season. In the past 14 years WSU has catapulted over 100 places in the NACDA rankings. Additionally, in those 15 years, 43 WSU coaches have been named conference coach of the year while five have gone on to be distinguished as National Coach of the Year. In 2012, the women’s swimming and diving program won the first national title since women’s fencing in 1989. Football had its best season ever in 2011 reaching the Division II national championship game. During Fournier’s tenure at WSU, Warrior athletic teams have won 33 conference regular-season titles, 11 league tournament titles and eight postseason regional, super regional or national titles. For his efforts, Fournier was honored by NACDA as the Athletics Director of the Year in the Central Region in 2008. Last year, WSU had twenty-eight (28) All-Americans. In the past 10 years, 294 Warriors have been named AllAmericans, the most in any decade. In the 98 years of WSU Athletics, 347 of the 568 all-time All-Americans (61 percent of the total) have been so honored since 2000.

#WARRIORFB

Another strategic measurement continues to be noteworthy. The 2014-15 academic year continued both academic achievement and community volunteerism. Fifteen (15) of WSU’s 17 athletic programs (women’s indoor and outdoor track is counted as one) have cumulative grade-point averages above 3.00 with a composite cumulative GPA of all WSU student-athletes at 3.10. The annual NCAA Federally-mandated graduation rate (five year) for WSU student-athletes is at an all-time high of 72 percent which has risen over 30 percent in Fournier’s tenure from programs such as: survival skills, connect-mentoring and learning specialists! In addition, in the last 12 months, WSU studentathletes contributed an exemplary 10,754 community service hours volunteering at a variety of Detroit initiatives. In the past six years alone, student-athletes have committed 53,863 community service hours with such programs as Habitat For Humanity, University Prep Elementary, Capuchin Soup Kitchen and Warming Center, Adopt a Family Thanksgiving Basket, Basic Needs Drive, Be The Match Donor Registry, Covenant House Michigan, NSO (Neighborhood Service Organization), SOCKS in the City, L.I.N.K. Mentoring (Local Intervention Network for Kids, S.M.A.R.T.S. Mentoring, Big Brother Big Sisters, Make-AWish Foundation, COTS, Toys for Tots, Forgotten Harvest, Gleaners Food Bank and Manhood Mentoring Project to name only some of the programs. The conference recognized those achievements with an unprecedented association’s honor of the Sportsmanship Award and Community Service Award in 2013. The rise in both academic average and community outreach has been dramatic, consistent and unprecedented. In addition, in the latest federallymandated graduation rate report, it noted WSU studentathletes received an undergraduate degree at a rate 30 percent higher than the comparable campus population. These, and other academic achievements, are recognized at the annual academic banquet, which he started in 2001 and combines a salute to the University’s faculty. Fournier’s ability to generate private and corporate support has dramatically altered the physical setting of the athletic campus and the practice/competitive opportunities for WSU student-athletes. In his 15 years, he has secured $14,762,796 in revenue for the athletic department including $13,231,677 in cash and an additional 1,531,119 in deferred gifts. That total has helped complete the following facility initiatives: football locker room; multipurpose indoor facility; new men’s and women’s basketball office complex; baseball’s replica Fenway Park baseball stadium which displays the former Tiger Stadium scoreboard on its famous “Green Monster facade; men’s and women’s basketball coaches offices and film room; softball locker room and coaches offices, along with a grandstand, walkway and press box; a Boston Garden-like parquet floor for basketball; Hall of Fame foyer; swimming video board, pool deck and bleachers in the natatorium; football ticket booths and stadium entrance; outdoor marquee; FieldTurf football field; a new outdoor track; scoreboards for baseball and football with a video display; trainer’s treatment areas;

and new USTA outdoor tennis courts with scoreboard. The physical transformation has been both noticeable and imaginative and boasts a number of cosmetic infrastructure changes as well. Fournier added a radio and statewide television package to WSU media outreach. He also added the athletic department’s first website, a quarterly magazine (Warrior Within) and a weekly coach’s show (Winters on Wednesdays). He also directs and oversees the University’s intramural and club sport programs and the Mort Harris Recreation and Fitness Center. Furthermore, Wayne State is the only school in the country to designate a week of activities to promote Women’s Athletics as “W” Week will be having its seventh annual celebration in April 2016 highlighted by “W” Day. The addition of new programs in women’s indoor and outdoor track and field, and women’s golf follows an internal gender-equity plan designed to better opportunities. Fournier served three years as a member of the NCAA regional-ranking football committee whose responsibilities include selecting the top teams in the region each week and the teams that advance to the postseason. He also spent three seasons on the NCAA softball regional ranking committee. He currently serves as a member of the GLIAC Finance Committee, while also serving on the infractions committee, scheduling committee and long-range budget planning committee. Prior to joining Wayne State, Fournier served as the Senior Associate Commissioner and general counsel for the Mid-American Conference. While serving as the acting Commissioner of the Conference (1999), he moved the league office from Toledo to Cleveland, wrote and secured a long-term contract for the men’s basketball tournament at Quicken Loans Arena and secured the three largest corporate gifts in the history of the MAC including First Energy as the tournament sponsor for the men’s postseason basketball tournament. He also wrote and negotiated the initial Motor City Bowl football contract that is the MAC’s longest postseason Bowl alignment. As the chief compliance officer for the league, Fournier investigated and reported on over 350 infraction cases that insured fairness in case resolution and corrective action. At the request of institutions, he has appeared before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and conducted campus reviews of compliance effectiveness in financial aid, rules education, eligibility and institutional control. He has served as liaison to various NCAA committees for which the conference held cabinet positions. The MAC presidents recognized Fournier’s achievements when they unanimously conferred a Certificate of Commendation and a mark of esteem for his efforts in 1999. A licensed attorney, he received his bachelor’s degree summa cum laude and his master’s with honors from the University of Akron. He was a national forensics champion and qualified for the national finals in six events. Fournier received his law degree from Akron in 1986 and was admitted to the Ohio bar that same year where he is still licensed to practice.

HEAD COACH PAUL WINTERS

Paul Winters enters his 12th season as the Wayne State University head football coach. A year ago, Winters had 26 student-athletes named to the Academic All-GLIAC teams with 15 players earning All-GLIAC accolades. His squad was extremely disciplined ranking seventh in the nation in fewest penalties per game (4.45). In addition, senior linebacker Nores Fradi was voted GLIAC Defensive Back of the Year and a First Team AFCA All-American. The 7-4 record marked the sixth time in the last seven seasons the Warriors had finished at least .500 compiling a 50-31 mark in that span. For the 2013 campaign, he had 24 student-athletes named to the Academic All-GLIAC teams with six players earning All-GLIAC accolades.

His 2011 tight ends corps helped the Warriors to a school record for overall wins (12), road wins (8), while winning four consecutive road playoff games to reach the national title contest. In addition, senior Greg Oberstaedt was named to the GLIAC All-Academic team. The Warriors ranked in the top 40 nationally in four offensive categories for the 2011 campaign -- ninth in fewest sacks allowed (0.94 per game), 23rd in scoring offense (34.38 ppg), 26th in passing efficiency (144.02) and 33rd in rushing offense (200.56 ypg). In 2010, one of his student-athletes (Austin Hughes) was named to the All-GLIAC Honorable Mention team, while also receiving the Ron Solack #35 Award. In addition, WSU was second in the league in both rushing touchdowns (27) and fewest sacks allowed (9). In terms of NCAA rankings, the Warriors finished sixth in fewest sacks allowed per game (0.82), 30th in rushing offense (194.73 yards per game) and 45th in scoring offense (31.55 points per game). All this helped the Warriors set a school record for overall wins (9) in 2010, conference victories (8) and the highest AFCA ranking in school history (12th). All three of his players (Hughes, Greg Oberstaedt and Cory Zauner) earned GLIAC All-Academic honors for the 2009 campaign. After attending Eastern Michigan in the fall of 1995, he transferred to WSU in the spring of 1996 and saw limited action that season for the Tartars. He then started all 11 games for WSU in both 1997 and 1998 at right tackle. As a senior and team captain, Wooster lettered as a left guard in 1999. He was twice named to the MIFC All-Academic team (1997 and 1999). Wooster earned his undergraduate degree from WSU in 2001 and a master’s in exercise science with a concentration in exercise & sport psychology in 2007, also from WSU. Prior to joining the WSU coaching staff, he served as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Warren Mott High School. He is married to former WSU softball player Christina Vitale, and the couple resides in Shelby Twp. with their daughter, Elliana Faith.

2015 OUTLOOK The 2015 Wayne State University football squad, led by 12th year head coach Paul Winters, will look to continue the strong performance at the end of the 2014 campaign which saw the Warriors win their final four contests. WSU posted a 7-4 overall record a year ago, while going 6-4 in the GLIAC. The Warriors lost three of those four games by a total of seven points, which shows how close the team was to going 10-1 and making run at the playoffs. Key departures from last year’s team will create a new-look Warriors squad in 2015. This includes First Team All-GLIAC running back Desmond Martin, currently a member of the Detroit Lions, and former linebacker and American Football Coaches Association All-American Nores Fradi. These two student-athletes along with veteran stalwarts Ben Walker and Thom Box played pivotal roles for the Warriors last season and the seasons prior. “This year’s team is different,” said Winters. “Defensively we have matured, with three senior defensive backs to be excited about, and offensively we have a fifth-year senior starting at quarterback in Carl Roscoe and a more experienced offensive line.” WSU returns 45 letterwinners and 12 starters including seven on the offensive side of the ball. The quarterback position has one veteran in fifth-year senior Carl Roscoe, who has made 15 career starts, and four others who have never taken a snap in a regular-season college football game. Last season, Roscoe finished ninth nationally in passing yards per completion (15.09), 16th in passing yards per attempt (8.59) and 47th in passing efficiency (137.05). Backing-up Roscoe will be redshirt sophomore Trevor Van Tubbergen, fifth-year senior Ryan Newcom and true freshmen D.J. Zezula and Christian Klink. Newcom is in fourth year as a Warrior after redshirting his freshman season at Ashland, while Van Tubbergen in his third year in the program. Zezula went 38-2 as a starter and led Clarkston to back-to-back state titles in 2013 and 2014, including 27 straight wins. Klink passed for 2,300 yards and 20 touchdowns as a senior in high school in 2014.

Senior quarterback Carl Roscoe has started 15 games under center for the Warriors.

Last year, WSU produced its ninth 1,000-yard running back in the last 10 seasons as Desmond Martin (Detroit Lions) rushed for 1,578 and 16 touchdowns. Even though Martin and fellow senior Jay Hayes have graduated, the cupboard is not bare in the Warriors backfield. Redshirt sophomore Romello Brown rushed for 102 yards and one score in 20 carries a year ago. Complimenting Brown in the backfield will be sophomore Demetrius Stinson, redshirt freshman Deiontae Nicholas and redshirt senior Rabeah Beydoun. Stinson is entering his third fall camp (second at Wayne State after spending his initial season at Ferris State). Nicholas was a freshman redshirt last year at WSU, while Beydoun averaged nearly six yards per carry last season and also made a couple of special teams tackles. Waiting in the wings are two highly-touted recruits in DeOntay Moffett and James Hill. Competition will be fierce at the fullback position after veteran Sean McAuliffe graduated. Redshirt junior Garrett Wiska earned his first WSU letter a year ago after transferring from Notre Dame College. Redshirt sophomore Jason McCauslin is entering his third camp with the Warriors. Freshman Stephen Charron could also be in the mix. Charron is versatile enough he could also see action at tailback. The Warrior receiving corps will be looking for new players to emerge this fall as nearly 70 percent of last year’s receptions by this group have graduated in Michael Johnson and Val Showers. A pair of fifth-year seniors plus two redshirt juniors will lead this contingent in 2015. Will Wheat and Mike Sawchuk have played in 23 and 22 games, respectively in their first four years in the Green and Gold. Wheat has nine career catches, while Sawchuk’s availability is to be determined after an injury during fall camp. Jamel Hicks had 14 receptions a year ago including two for touchdowns, while Brandon Tinsley hauled in 10 passes last season including four of at least 20 yards. Junior Brian Blackburn, after moving from quarterback, and redshirt sophomore Manny Mendoza are pushing the veterans for playing time. Three redshirt freshmen in Corey Ester, Logan Smith and Western Michigan transfer Jordan Billingslea are battling for spots on the travel roster. In addition, three true freshmen in Kyle Lewis, Marcus Bailey and Shane Holler are likely to be redshirted in 2015. The tight end position is a veteran and deep group with all five returning from 2014. Senior Ethan Walsh was elected a team captain in 2015. He has played in all 32 games in his first three seasons, making 29 starts. Walsh was named to the 2014 All-GLIAC Honorable Mention Team and is a threetime Academic All-GLIAC honoree. Redshirt juniors Trent Brodbeck, Aaron Weston and Nathan White all have seen considerable playing time both on offense and on special teams. Brodbeck returned from an injury in 2013, to be voted to the 2014 Daktronics All-Super Region 4 Second Team after earning All-GLIAC First Team accolades. Brodbeck was named WSU Football’s Scholar-

2015 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Senior tight end Ethan Walsh has started 29 games in his Warrior career. Athlete Award winner for 2014-15. Weston has played in 21 games over the last two seasons and is a two-time Academic All-GLIAC selection. Besides seeing action in all 11 games at tight end in 2014, White was also a key member of special teams playing on punt coverage in all 11 games, kickoff return in eight contests and kickoff coverage in five games. Preston Pelham (Tecumseh, Mich.) redshirted in 2014 and is battling the four upperclassmen for playing time this season. Two recruits in Luke Ketterman and Kyle Muller should be able to redshirt in 2015. Last year, WSU averaged 5.1 yards per carry, was among the national leaders in both red zone offense at 90 percent (38-of-42) and yards per catch (14.4). Despite losing two fifth-year senior co-captains in the middle of the season, the Warriors still had strong performances from the offensive line. The four returning starters have combined for 64 career starts. Leading the group is pre-season All-American (by Lindy’s) Nate Theaker, who has 22 career starts. Junior Robert Kelly has made 21 starts, while sophomore Tommy Richardson and junior Sawyer McFadden have 11 and 10 career starts, respectively. Theaker’s status for the year is in question after surgery in August. Kelly and Richardson have both moved one position to left with Kelly heading to left guard and Richardson to center. A solid corps of juniors looking to contribute more this year include Alex Ziedas, JT Pillars, Andy Zimmerman, Sam Tate, Ed Reny and Jake Sheets. Sophomore Greg Webber is another individual looking to contribute. The versatility is also evident in this group as Ziedas can play both guard and center, while Tate can swing between guard and tackle. All four recruits are slated to redshirt in order to get stronger and adjust to the collegiate game. The tackles are Tarron Hampton and Justin Tockstein, along with guards Charlie Younger and Nick Davis. In 2014, the Warrior defensive line corps produced two

2015 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Senior defensive end Ashawn Butler was voted one of the team captains for 2015. Academic All-GLIAC selections in Blake Mazur and Alex Medenbach along with WSU Defensive Rookie of the Year award recipient Jake Carrizales. Carrizales was a Second Team All-GLIAC selection, while Justice Akuezue and Sam Sillmon were both named to the All-GLIAC Honorable Mention Team. Carrizales was third in the GLIAC in both sacks and tackles for loss per game, while Sillmon was among the conference leaders in fumble recoveries. As a team, WSU led the GLIAC in 2014 and ranked 22nd nationally in sacks (2.91 per game), while ranking eighth in NCAA Division II with 9.3 tackles for loss per game. The Warriors were ranked 38th in D-II in total defense allowing 338.5 yards per game. With three fifth-year seniors slated to start on the defensive line plus sophomore Jake Carrizales at one of the defensive end spots, this position group is poised for an outstanding year in 2015. The nose tackle spot will be spearheaded by Raafat El Hage, while junior Dalton Binkowski and sophomores Blake Mazur and LaMonte Baker provide depth at the position. The defensive tackle slot is even more experienced than the nose tackle position with senior Derrick Rodgers being backed-up by juniors Jada Littlejohn and Medenbach. With Carrizales at one defensive end spot, senior Ashawn Butler is slated to start on the other side. Back-ups on the outside include junior Adam Williams along with redshirt freshmen Derrick Coleman and Kolby Nance. All six incoming defensive linemen -- Tiroca Battle, Brady Beedon, Caleb Carrizales, Jon Currie, Justin Hollins and Jalen Lewis -- are slated to be redshirted. Heading into 2014, the linebacking corps was possibly the thinnest in terms of depth. But the performances of seniors Nores Fradi and Marcell Jones, along with middle linebacker

2015 OUTLOOK Anthony DeDamos turned this group into a weekly highlight show. The lone starter returning among the linebackers is DeDamos. He notched a career-high 12 tackles (8-4) in the season finale win over Hillsdale, along with recording the longest non-scoring interception return in school history (85 yards) breaking an 89-year school record to earn the WSU Defensive Player of the Week for the third time that season. DeDamos finished third on the squad in both tackles (70) and tackles for loss (12.0 - 11 solo, 2 assisted), while ranking tied-for-second in forced fumbles (2). His 12.0 TFL was tiedfor-sixth in the GLIAC and two fumble recoveries was tiedfor-fifth. Redshirt juniors Valorian Cunningham and Idris Hobdy are slated to start on the outside in 2015. Cunningham played in the first seven games, making one start (vs. Carson Newman). His lone “official” tackle vs. Michigan Tech was a six-yard sack. He also made the stop on MTU’s PAT run. Cunningham tied for the team lead with eight special teams tackles (8-0), all on kickoff coverage. Hobdy saw playing time at linebacker and on punt coverage in all 11 games. He recorded a seasonhigh three tackles in three different contests. Sophomore Dustin Carlin was the lone true freshman to play in 2014. Besides seeing playing time at linebacker in all 11 games, he also blocked a Findlay punt. A quintet of redshirt freshmen in Carterris Carter, Drew Dowding, Randy Garvin, Anthony Pittman and Zach Heddy have had a year to adjust to the speed of the college game and add the strength needed to compete in the GLIAC. Junior Brook Higgins is also in the mix for a spot on the travel squad after seeing action in five contests a year ago. Expected to redshirt in 2015 are four highly-touted recruits in Leon Eggleston, Darius Griggs, Michael Hazime and Ryan Smith. In 2014, the Warrior defensive backs corps produced two All-Region recipients as Zak Bielecki was a Daktronics Second Team All-Region honoree while Gerren DuHart was a Beyond Sports Network Second Team All-Region selection prior to being named to the USA Football All-America Second Team. Bielecki tied for first in the GLIAC and was ninth nationally in solo tackles per game (6.6), while also earning Academic All-GLIAC honors. DuHart was a First Team All-GLIAC honoree while Bielecki was named to the All-GLIAC Honorable Mention Team. With three fifth-year seniors having significant starting experience plus sophomore James Howard and junior Lairren Johnson battling for the second cornerback position, the secondary looks to be solid again in 2015. The safety spots will be led by Zak Bielecki and Jamiil Williams. Bielecki has started 16 contests with Williams making 22 career starts. Junior James Hendrix and sophomore Ron Brant will provide depth at safety and also help on special teams. Freshmen Andy Bielecki and Kyle Toth will most likely redshirt in 2015. Brandon Lee will start at one corner position opposite either Howard or Johnson. Lee has started the last 17 games at cornerback for the Warriors.

Five true freshmen plus redshirt freshmen Jared Singletary and Devyn Manson will back-up the aforementioned trio of cornerbacks. The incoming group includes Greg McDade, Terry Sanders, Donte Eubanks, Tre’von Avery and Anthony Copeland. Both kickers return from a year ago in senior Majd Khytaz and redshirt sophomore Paul Graham. Khytaz was a threetime WSU Special Teams Player of the Week in 2014, while also earning GLIAC All-Academic Team honors. Khytaz averaged 53.6 yards on 69 kickoffs with three touchbacks last season. Meanwhile, Graham was voted to the 2014 All-GLIAC Second Team as well as being selected WSU’s Special Teams Most Valuable Player. He was named to the USA College Football Freshman All-America Team along with being voted to the Beyond Sports Network All-Super Region 4 Third Team. Graham tied-for-second in the GLIAC with 14 made field goals (made his first 14 attempts) which tied him for the national lead in field goal percentage (93.3). He was 18th nationally in field goals made per game (1.27). In terms of punting, Graham averaged 37.9 yards per kick on 39 attempts with 13 inside the 20. Brant had a team-high 11 punt returns a year ago and averaged 7.9 yards per attempt. He had a 34-yard return at Malone, which was the longest by a Warrior since Josh Renel had a 55-yard return at Ashland (10/15/2011). Ester could also see action returning punts. The kickoff return duties will be handled by newcomers to that position as 32 of last year’s 33 kickoff returns (25 by Val Showers and 7 by Jay Hayes) graduated. Hicks is the lone returnee who had a collegiate kickoff return last year. Stinson, Nicholas, Hicks and Ester are among the others who will be battling for KOR duties. Mike Komor, who had handled most of the long snapping duties for the last 32 games, graduated last December. Brant is the leading candidate for long snapping in punting situations, while veteran tight end Aaron Weston is slated to handle long snapping for PATs and field goals.

Senior safety Zak Bielecki has made 16 starts in the Warrior secondary.

Chris MacCourtney has advanced this relationship that has enhanced both the University and the City and we appreciate that association.” The 2015 campaign will be the 14th season WSU football and basketball games have been aired on 1400 AM and contests are also available through the

WAYNE STATE ACADEMICS SERVICES AVAILABLE TO WSU STUDENT-ATHLETES

Deiontae Nicholas congratulated by Board of Governor Gary S. Pollard at the Academic Recognition Luncheon at St. Andrew’s on April 23, 2015. ATHLETIC ACADEMIC SERVICES The Wayne State Athletic Department has developed a comprehensive approach to academic services for its student-athletes. The department’s goal is to assist student-athletes in pursuit of their designated course of studies and ultimately to achieve graduation. This objective is facilitated by appropriate academic advising, major selection, tutorial assistance and other life skill development and academic support services. A major goal of athletic academic services is to significantly increase the department’s graduation rate over the next five years and to continually emphasize the success of WSU’s student-athletes in the community.

Academic Monitoring The Department of Athletics utilizes Grades First software, a monitoring alert system in which instructors, learning specialists and tutors provide notification to students and their coaches about progress in their classes. In conjunction with the coaching staff, requests for information about class attendance and performance are sent to each instructor through the system. The academic coordinator tracks individual progress, schedules meetings with students as appropriate, and personally contacts instructors as necessary. Counseling/Mentoring The coordinator meets with student-athletes individually and arranges for group meetings/workshops with other support service personnel regarding academic, athletic, career, and/or personal issues (for example, group sessions covering such topics as test-taking skills, time management, learning styles, etc.) The Department of Athletics has collaborative relationships with many other critical units on campus to help provide appropriate support services. Advising/Registration In conjunction with academic advisors in the University Advising Center, the coordinator assists studentathletes with term course planning and registration, including holding special student-athlete Orientation sessions to introduce them to NCAA and GLIAC eligibility requirements and departmental academic policies as well as to Wayne State University’s academic programs, procedures and regulations, and services. The office also works closely with academic advisors in all the university’s schools and colleges to ensure appropriate semester course selection and timely progress towards degree. The office serves as a clearinghouse for information about campus resources and student support services, university forms, enrollment deadlines and institutional academic policies and procedures. Structured Study In an effort to help ensure the academic success and the development of consistent study patterns of student-athletes, the coordinator organizes supervised study sessions for each team. Tutorial Services, Writing Center, Mathematics Laboratory The university provides free peer tutoring in most subject areas either on a drop-in or by-appointment basis. In the event that the Academic Success Center cannot provide tutoring for a specific class, the Department of Athletics has set aside funds to hire individual tutors. The coordinator works with academic department chairs to identify qualified tutors and is always available to arrange special individual or group sessions in a variety of areas. As in all other services, the office works in a proactive manner to provide assistance before academic problems arise.

The weight room also features a cardio area with equipment by Woodway, Nautilus, and Stairmaster . At the completion of their workouts studentathlete are provided Gatorade and nutrition shakes to aid in their recovery. Head strength coach Ruben Mendoza, along with assistant strength coaches Bryce Karasiak and Jordan Balbes, graduate assistant and interns, directly oversee all aspects of the student-athletes training regimens.

GLIAC TEAMS IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT (since 2010) ATHLETIC NICKNAMES Wayne State University, by recommendation of a university-wide task force, adopted a new athletic identity system for the 1999-2000 academic year. The previous name, Tartars, first appeared in 1927 after a contest held on the then, City College campus. Before the Tartars, school nicknames included the Griffins and the Munies. The newest name, Warriors, embraced characteristics associated with the WSU student body and athletic teams - a fierce determination and an ability and willingness to compete and succeed.

GLIAC HISTORY The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), founded in 1972, has been a leader in the advancement and promotion of intercollegiate athletics for men and women for 40 years. The charter members of the GLIAC were Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, Lake Superior State University, Northwood University (then Institute), and Saginaw Valley State University. Expansion of the GLIAC began immediately with the addition of Oakland University in 1974. Hillsdale College, Northern Michigan University, and Wayne State University were accepted as members in 1975. In 1977, the conference lost its first member when Northern Michigan withdrew. Michigan Technological University filled the vacancy when it became a member in 1980. After the 1986-87 season, Northwood left the conference and was replaced by Northern Michigan. Northwood rejoined the conference in 1992. After the 1989 season, the conference dropped football as a sponsored sport. The conference schools sponsoring football joined the members of the Heartland Collegiate Conference in forming the football-only Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference (MIFC), which began play in 1990. After nine years as one of the premier conferences in Division II football, the MIFC merged as part of GLIAC on July 1, 1999. With the merger, the University of Indianapolis became an associate member as a football-only school. The GLIAC entered a new era in the 1995-96 school year. Prior to that time, all GLIAC member institutions were located in the state of Michigan. On Dec. 14, 1994, membership was offered to Ashland University of Ashland, Ohio, and Gannon University and Mercyhurst College, both located in Erie, Pennsylvania. All three schools began their membership July 1, 1995. On July 1, 1997, membership was granted to The University of Findlay, located in Findlay, Ohio. UF replaced Oakland University, which withdrew from the conference after the 1996-97 season as it moved to NCAA Division I status. The GLIAC membership changed again when Tiffin University of Ohio joined the conference in the 2008-09 academic year. Tiffin was offered membership on June 20, 2007. The addition of Tiffin left the GLIAC with 12 full-time members as Gannon and Mercyhurst moved to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference after the 2007-08 season. The GLIAC entered a new era during the 2009-10 academic year. Commissioner Tom Brown, who had presided over the league for 17 years, retried on June 30, 2009. The longest serving commissioner in the history of the GLIAC, Brown expanded the conference from 10 full members to 14 full members and two associate members. Also under his leadership, the conference has grown to offering championships in 21 sports while rising to prominence on the national level as GLIAC teams and student-athletes have achieved success both in the classroom and on the fields of play.

The Conference expanded on July 1, 2010 when Lake Erie College of Painesville, Ohio, and Ohio Dominican University, located in Columbus, joined the GLIAC. The League expanded further expand on July 1, 2012 when Malone University and Walsh University, both located in the Canton, Ohio area, became the 15th and 16th GLIAC members. The policy-making body of the GLIAC is the Management Council, which is comprised of three representatives from each member institution – its director of athletics, faculty athletics representative and senior woman administrator. The presidency of the GLIAC Management Council is rotated alphabetically by school, with Dave Marsh, Director of Athletics at Northwood University, serving as GLIAC President in 2015-16. Dr. Keith A. Pretty, President of Northwood University, will serve as the chairperson of the GLIAC Presidents Council this year. The GLIAC made history when it hired Dell Robinson as Commissioner. Robinson became the first ethnic minority to serve as D-II commissioner of a non-historically black college or university conference when he began his duties on July 1, 2009. Assisting Robinson are: Jeff Ligney, Assoc. Commissioner, Danielle Harris, Asst. Commissioner & SWA for Compliance/Championships; Chris Roekle Director of Strategic Communications; Mike McCann, Supervisor of Football Officials; Kim Vieira, Supervisor of Soccer Officials; Jeanne Skinner, Supervisor of Volleyball Officials; Rob Doss, Supervisor of Women’s Basketball Officials; Bill Ek, Supervisor of Men’s Basketball Officials; Linda Strapp, Supervisor of Women’s lacrosse officials; Bill Gomoluch Supervisor of Softball Umpires, and Rich Fetchiet, Assignor of Baseball Umpires.

Each region will have seven teams qualify with only the top seed receiving a first round bye. Super Regional One consists of 49 schools in the Atlantic and East regions comprising the CIAA (Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association), the MEC (Mountain East Conference), NE-10 (Northeast 10) and the PSAC (Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference). Super Regional Two has 30 football schools consisting of the South and South East regions which include the GSC (Gulf South Conference), the SAC (South Atlantic Conference) and the SIAC (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference). Super Regional Three consists of 49 schools from the Central and West regions comprising the GAC (Great American Conference), the GNAC (Great Northwest Athletic Conference), the NSIC (Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference), and the MIAA (Mid America Intercollegiate Athletics Association). Super Regional Four has 42 football schools from the Midwest and South Central area which include the GLIAC (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference), the GLVC (Great Lakes Valley Conference), the LSC (Lone Star Conference), and the RMAC (Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) along with two independent institutions. For the 2016 football season, Malone will leave the GLIAC for the GMAC which does not sponsor football at this point but does have two independents. The following season (2017), the GMAC will add Findlay, Hillsdale, Lake Erie, Ohio Dominican and Walsh from the GLIAC giving the conference eight football playing institutions, and the GMAC will become the fifth football conference in the region.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State allowed a 25-yard field goal on the game’s final play to Michigan Tech’s Garrett Mead, his fourth field goal of the contest, to fall 18-17 to the Huskies in the season opener. After Mead connected on a 23-yard field goal to conclude the game’s first drive, the Warriors responded with a three-play, 69 yard drive culminating in a 63-yard touchdown pass from Carl Roscoe to Michael Johnson on a third-and-four play. Following an MTU punt, WSU went 78 yards with Paul Graham converting a 24-yard field goal try for his first collegiate three pointer. The big play of the drive was a 58-yard reception by Desmond Martin. Following another Huskie punt that was downed at the WSU one-yard line early in the second quarter, the game was delayed 58 minutes due to inclement weather. A threeand-out for WSU led to another Mead field goal to cut the Warrior lead to 10-6 with 7:14 left before intermission. Neither team was able to score the rest of the first half. WSU led 170-153 in total offense through 30 minutes despite the Huskies holding a 21:27 to 8:33 edge in time of possession. Wayne State garnered a pair of first downs to start the second half but the drive ended with a punt. Michigan Tech drove 83 yards in nine plays with Mead connecting from 21 yards on a fourth-and-goal. The third period ended with Wayne State holding a slim 10-9 advantage. A Warrior drive that carried over into the fourth quarter concluded with another touchdown toss from Roscoe to Johnson, this one from seven yards on a third-and-goal. Graham’s PAT increased WSU’s lead to 17-9 with 11:02 left. Wayne State’s defense held on downs, before a bad exchange led to a lost fumble near midfield. MTU capitalized with a four-play, 47-yard scoring drive with Tyler Scarlett completing a 16-yard screen pass for a touchdown to Charlie Leffingwell. Leffingwell’s two-point conversion run came up just short on a nice tackle by Wayne State’s Valorian Cunningham maintaining WSU’s two-point edge at 17-15 with 5:36 left. The Warriors had an eight-play drive which used up 3:36 on the clock, but the Huskies had exactly two minutes left and one timeout. Scarlett engineered a 14-play drive covering 69 yards leading to Mead’s 25-yard field goal attempt on the game’s final play. Martin had a game-best 155 all-purpose yards. Roscoe set a career-high with 239 passing yards. Zak Bielecki totaled a game-high 16 tackles (13 solo, 3 assisted) including one for loss and a pass break-up. Nores Fradi had three tackles for loss among his nine solo stops.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State rebounded from a last play setback nine days ago with a solid 14-point fourth quarter to upend No. 13 Carson Newman by a 41-31 margin. The Warriors entered the contest having suffered seven consecutive losses since starting the 2013 season at 3-2. Desmond Martin set a career-high with 235 rushing yards, the 13th highest total in school history and his total was the second-highest mark ever allowed by the Eagles. Michael Johnson recorded game-high totals of five receptions for 65 yards along with a late second quarter touchdown which gave the Warriors the lead at intermission. Val Showers eclipsed the school record for kickoff return yards in game with 191 yards including an 87-yard return for a touchdown just moments after CNU had knotted the game at 10. The previous mark of 177 was set by Tom Badalamenti in 1985 vs. Ferris State. Despite totaling just three solo tackles, Gerren DuHart had three pass break-ups all coming at key moments in the contest. It was a back-and-forth contest that was tied at 7, 10, 17 and 24 before Wayne State kicker Paul Graham connected on his second field goal giving the Warriors a 27-24 advantage just past the midpoint of the third quarter. Less than two minutes later, Carson Newman took its first lead of the night as running back Andy Hibbett scored his fourth touchdown of the game on a 57-yard pass play after tallying his first three scores on runs of 76, 18 and 1 yards. After the Warriors went three-and-out, WSU’s defense allowed a couple of first downs but forced a punt that was returned 25 yards by Ron Brant, the longest punt return by Wayne State since 2011. The Warriors regained the lead with a six-play, 55-yard drive culminating in a six-yard scamper by Martin, his second TD run of the game. Once again, the WSU defense bent but did not break allowing three first downs but forcing another punt by the Eagles which went for a touchback. The Wayne State offense sealed the victory with a seven-play, 80-yard drive that included four first downs. Ethan Walsh had an 11-yard reception on a second-and-eight, and Johnson later gained 22 yards on a jet sweep. Martin finished off the drive with a six-yard touchdown run with 3:13 remaining. Marcell Jones recorded a game-high 10 tackles to lead the Wayne State defense.

The Warriors drove 61 yards on the game’s opening drive leading to a 21-yard field goal by Paul Graham. After the WSU defense forced a three-and-out, a third down pass from Carl Roscoe was intercepted by Daniel Tepe, who returned it 29 yards to the Warrior eight. Two plays later Malone had a 6-3 advantage after the two-point conversion rush failed. Another interception on the ensuing drive, preceded the Wayne State defense stopping the Pioneers. For the third consecutive drive, the Warriors had a turnover (a fumble by Doug Griffin) but the defense re-grouped with Anthony DeDamos forcing a fumble inside the five, with Ryan Hankins making the recovery. The first period didn’t end any better for WSU as a snap in shotgun formation went over Roscoe’s head with the ball ending up out of the back of the end zone. The safety pushed Malone’s lead to 8-3. The Pioneers went 48 yards in three plays following the free kick with Brandyn Eckhart completing a four-yard touchdown pass to Ronnie Beers. The Warrior offense responded on its first possession of the second stanza with a 62-yard drive on nine plays. Desmond Martin had six carries for 49 yards on the scoring drive which pulled the Wayne State within 15-10. Neither team was able to score the rest of the half. WSU held a 246-133 edge in total offense during the first 30 minutes but four turnovers plus a safety contributed to the five point deficit. Wayne State’s defense forced a three-and-out to start the second half, with the Warrior offense putting together a nine-play, 64-yard drive to regain the lead at 18-15. On a third-and-six, Roscoe completed a 29-yard scoring toss to Michael Johnson, who had three catches for 51 yards on the drive. Griffin scored on a two-point conversion rush. The WSU defense stopped the Pioneers on a fourth-and-four from the WSU 35. Later in the third quarter, Wayne State’s defense forced another three-and-out and the Warrior offense responded with 41-yard scoring drive that took seven plays and concluded on a three-yard touchdown jaunt by Martin. On Malone’s ensuing drive, Wayne State forced a fumble that was recovered at the Pioneer three. Martin took a handoff on the next play and scored his third touchdown of the game. Later Ron Brant, playing less than 30 minutes from his hometown, returned a Malone punt 34 yards setting up the WSU offense in the red zone. Romello Brown, making his collegiate debut, totaled 18 yards on two rushing attempts to score his first collegiate touchdown to complete the scoring. Zak Bielecki had a game-best 10 tackles, and the Warrior defense totaled four sacks.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State recorded its 10th consecutive Homecoming victory by dispatching Northwood 45-27. It took the Warriors just 2:22 to grab a 7-0 advantage on a five-play, 58-yard drive set up by a 37-yard kickoff return from Val Showers. On WSU’s second play, Carl Roscoe connected on a 36-yard pass play with Brandon Tinsley. On a second-and-goal, Doug Griffin went up the middle for two yards and his first touchdown of the season. On Wayne State’s ensuing drive, Roscoe was intercepted and on the very next play, NU’s Mark Morris teamed up with Theron Wilson on a 31-yard touchdown pass to knot the game at 7-7. The Warriors put together a 14-play drive covering 75 yards that began following the Timberwolves kickoff. WSU recorded five first downs with the longest play being a 10-yard run by Griffin on second-and-nine. Griffin capped off the scoring drive with a five-yard run on the first play of the second quarter. On Northwood’s third play, Morris was sacked by Justice Akuezue who also forced a fumble that was recovered by Sam Sillmon at the Timberwolves 35. Roscoe completed a 34-yard sideline pass to Desmond Martin on the first play, and after Martin was stopped for no gain, Griffin notched a career-high third rushing touchdown on the very next play. Just past the midpoint of the second stanza, WSU took possession following an NU punt. Griffin gained 15 yards on first down, while Martin added 18 yards on four carries sandwiched around another Griffin rushing attempt. With a third-and-five at the Northwood 29, Jay Hayes gained six yards for a first down, then scampered 23 yards for his first career rushing touchdown. Following another NU punt, Wayne State drove 45 yards in seven plays with Roscoe completing all five pass attempts for 50 yards. Big receptions came from Michael Johnson for 19 yards, and Tinsley for 14 yards. With the clock winding down, Paul Graham made good on a 37-yard field goal attempt. Johnson extended his touchdown receiving streak to four games by hauling in a 29-yard pass from Roscoe. Nores Fradi led the Warrior defense with nine solo tackles including three for loss along with a pass break-up.

Following a missed 38-yard TU field goal attempt, Wayne State drove 79 yards in nine plays to grab a 7-6 halftime advantage. The Warriors accumulated five of their eight first half first downs on the scoring drive. Carl Roscoe had a 30-yard completion to Jamel Hicks allowing WSU to score the goahead touchdown two plays later. Tiffin returned the second half kickoff a total of 34 yards including a reverse. On the first play from scrimmage, TU had a 56-yard touchdown reception. The Dragons tried some trickery on the PAT but a pitchout from the center to Jerry Brown was mishandled with Nores Fradi picking up the ball at the WSU 11. Fradi returned the ball to the Warrior 38 before giving a lateral to Gerren DuHart who took it the final 62 yards for Wayne State’s first defensive extra point in nearly 10 years (Earl Carruthers scored a defensive extra point at Michigan Tech on October 9, 2004). On the ensuing possession with WSU trailing 12-9, the Warriors drove across midfield but a five-yard completion on a third-and-six preceded a no gain rush on fourth down. Tiffin proceeded to drive 58 yards in five plays to increase its lead to 19-9. After an exchange of punts, Wayne State turned it over on downs following three consecutive incomplete deep passes. However, on the very next play, a shotgun snap was recovered by Sam Sillmon at the Dragon 26. Doug Griffin gained eight yards on first down, and following a dropped pass, Desmond Martin garnered the first down. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Griffin went 15 yards for the touchdown. The Warrior defense forced a three-and-out, but a short punt into the wind was mishandled by the WSU returner and the Dragons recovered at the WSU 49. Eight plays later the visitors had a 26-16 lead. Wayne State responded with a seven-play, 59-yard scoring drive pulling within three (26-23) with 6:15 remaining. Griffin carried the ball five times on the drive for 56 yards going untouched for the final 15 yards. WSU’s defense rose to the occasion and forced a three-and-out, but the Warrior offense took a sack on the first play and had to punt. Once again the defense answered by forcing the Dragons into minus nine yards on three plays and into another punt. However, Wayne State’s offense had two incomplete passes, a sack and an incomplete pass to turn the ball over on downs with 1:16 remaining.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State held Grand Valley State to just 17 points, tying the fewest points scored by the Lakers this season but the Warrior offense only generated a field goal. On the opening drive of the game, Carl Roscoe eluded the rush and completed a 33-yard pass to Trent Brodbeck but the play was negated due to a holding penalty. This drive as well as the next two possessions ended with a punt. GVSU drove 48 yards in six plays with Joe Warner catching a five-yard touchdown pass from Heath Parling for the game’s first score. The Warrior offense put together a six-play drive following a 58-yard kickoff return by Val Showers, but Doug Griffin fumbled on his fifth carry of the drive on a first-and-goal play. Late in the first period, a 44-yard punt by Paul Graham had Grand Valley State starting a drive at its own 29. The Lakers went 71 yards in nine plays with Chris Robinson scoring on a one-yard plunge on third-and-goal. On the first drive of the second half, the Warrior defense allowed a pair of first downs, but a 10-yard sack by Anthony DeDamos on GVSU’s first play in WSU territory preceded an incomplete pass and another sack. The Laker punt was partially blocked with Jamel Hicks picking the ball up at the Laker 38 and returning it 14 yards. After two runs by Desmond Martin, Griffin completed a seven-yard pass to Brodbeck for a first down. Griffin fumbled on third down with the Lakers recovering. The Wayne State defense rose to the occasion limiting Grand Valley State to one first down before forcing another punt. The Warriors took over at their own 49 with Roscoe connecting on back-to-back plays with Michael Johnson for 25 and 15 yards, respectively setting up a first-and-10 from the GVSU 11. Three straight incomplete passes led to a 28-yard field goal by Graham, his sixth consecutive made three-pointer. Following the kickoff and along with a Laker holding penalty, Grand Valley State started on its own 5-yard line. GVSU drove 80 yards in 12 plays with Joel Schipper making a 32-yard field goal attempt early in the fourth period. Neither team was able to score in the final 13 minutes. The teams combined for just 114 rushing yards (85 for GVSU and 29 for WSU). The Lakers held a 256-103 advantage in passing yardage. The Warriors lost the turnover battle 5-1 and were just 1-of-3 in the red zone. Roscoe was 11-of-23 with two interceptions, although one came on the final play of the game. Parling completed 17-of-28 passes for 256 yards but was sacked four times. Johnson had a game-high six receptions for a team-best 49 yards. Jamie Potts totaled a game-high 81 receiving yards on four catches. Nores Fradi recorded a game-high 14 tackles and added to his GLIAC leading total of tackles for loss with another 2.5 TFL. Zak Bielecki contributed 13 tackles, while Jake Carrizales, who entered the game leading the GLIAC in sacks, assisted on three sacks for minus 12 yards vs. the Lakers. The Warrior defense recorded nine tackles for loss in the contest with eight different players being a part of the TFLs.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State suffered its third consecutive setback on a field goal in the final 30 seconds. After each team turned the ball over on its initial possession, the Warrior defense forced a three-andout and the offense went 66 yards in eight plays with Desmond Martin scoring. The Wildcats answered with a 78-yard drive culminating in a 20-yard field goal. Wayne State’s next drive concluded with a careerlong 47-yard field goal by Paul Graham. The WSU defense stopped a fourth down pass and the offense responded with an eight-play drive as Graham made a 31-yard field goal. The Wildcats scored their first touchdown on a 10-play, 58-yard drive. Wayne State moved down the field with the help of a 15-yard pass interference penalty plus a 16-yard reception by Trent Brodbeck on a third-and-13. Carl Roscoe found Jamel Hicks over the middle and Hicks gained plenty of yards after the catch to complete a 37-yard scoring play. On the first play from scrimmage after intermission, Val Showers went 33 yards on a reverse, but WSU had to settle for a 44-yard field goal by Graham. NMU responded with a 62-yard scoring drive. The Warriors went three-and-out, and Austin Young returned the punt for a TD to give the hosts a 24-23 lead. Wayne State was unable to convert a fourth down play following the kickoff, but the defense stepped up and stopped a fourth down run. A halfback option pass on the next play was intercepted by NMU leading to a 22-yard field goal. The Warriors were able to regain the lead at 30-27 as Michael Johnson scored on a nine-yard reception on a third-and-seven play. The Wildcats knotted the game at 30 four plays after an 84-yard kickoff return by Marcus Tucker. Wayne State drove into NMU territory but a fake punt pass was incomplete leading to a 12-play Wildcat drive concluding in a field goal by Ryan Laberge. WSU’s second down pass attempt went off the hands of a Warrior receiver into the hands of a Wildcat. Nores Fradi had a game-high 3.5 tackles for loss as did Anthony DeDamos. Brandon Lee totaled a game-best nine tackles (6-3), which included two for loss.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State ended its three-game losing streak with a 52-17 victory. The 52 points scored by the Warriors were the most since a 55-0 win versus Tiffin on Sept. 20, 2011. On the game’s opening drive, Walsh drove inside the Wayne State 40 but a fake punt was snuffed out by Marcell Jones. Following a Warrior punt, on the Cavaliers next play from scrimmage Anthony DeDamos forced a fumble which was recovered by Jones and returned six yards to the Walsh 15. Carl Roscoe found Trent Brodbeck for 13 yards, then Desmond Martin gained the final two yards. Walsh again drove inside the Warrior 40, but Paul Kempe was hurried on fourth down by Nores Fradi resulting in an incomplete pass. On the ninth play of the ensuing drive, Paul Graham converted his 10th consecutive field goal. Following a three-and-out for Walsh, the Wayne State offense drove 71 yards in nine plays with Michael Johnson hauling in a 43-yard touchdown pass from Roscoe on third-and-16. Johnson also had a 17-yard catch on a third-and-six, while Roscoe scrambled for 13 yards on a third-and-10. On the third play from scrimmage for Walsh, Fradi again put the pressure on Kempe and his pass was intercepted by James Howard for WSU’s first interception of the season. The Warriors went 33 yards in seven plays with Martin scoring from a yard out. Doug Griffin had three carries for 21 yards on the scoring drive. Walsh was able to drive 52 yards just before intermission with Michael Dudics making a 25-yard field goal. The Warriors drove 75 yards in seven plays midway through the third quarter with Jay Hayes crossing the goal line. The Cavaliers drove 55 yards but Jason Fracassa’s second-and-goal pass was intercepted by Jamiil Williams. On the first play following the Walsh TD, Roscoe found Val Showers wide open behind the secondary for a 73-yard touchdown pass. On the ensuing drive by the Cavaliers, Fradi forced a fumble with Jones recovering at the Warrior 40 and returning it 14 yards into Walsh territory. The WSU defense recorded eight tackles for loss and forced five turnovers.

GAME RECAP: Wayne State won all three phases of the game at Findlay in posting a 43-10 triumph. Desmond Martin broke off a 48yard run on the second play of the game, but after a couple of negative plays, the Warrior punt was downed at the UF 11. On Findlay’s first play, Verlon Reed scrambled after getting a low shotgun snap and was forced out of bounds with the ball not coming completely outside the goal line for a safety. Val Showers returned the free kick 21 yards to the Warrior 48. Six consecutive carries by Martin netted 35 yards, and even with an 11-yard completion from Carl Roscoe to Michael Johnson on third-and-14, WSU had to settle for a 28-yard field goal from Paul Graham. The Oilers gained four yards on their first series of the second quarter, then Dustin Carlin blocked the punt with Jay Hayes picking up the ball and going in for a touchdown. On Findlay’s ensuring drive, Zak Bielecki picked off a third down pass for his first career interception. The Warriors drove 47 yards in seven plays with Graham converting a 41-yard field goal. It took UF just six plays to get on the scoreboard as Chauncey Bridges scampered 50 yards on a third-and-two. Wayne State began the second half with an onside kick that Majd Khytaz recovered, however the Warriors were penalized for an illegal block. On the next play, Khytaz’s short kickoff was mishandled with Brook Higgins recovering. Three straight running plays, two by Martin sandwiched around a 25-yard gain for Doug Griffin, concluded with Martin’s touchdown run. Later in the period, Marcell Jones made a one-hand interception and took it back 26 yards for WSU’s first pick six since Gerren DuHart went 82 yards against Hillsdale on Oct. 6, 2012. On Findlay’s last drive of the third quarter, Bielecki recorded his second interception, giving the Warriors great field position at the UF 47. WSU used 5:11 on the clock and scored on the ninth play. Sean Guinane, in his first significant playing time of the season, had two completions on the drive for 15 yards, both to Johnson with Martin carrying the ball the other seven plays. Defensively for Wayne State, Nores Fradi had a team-best 11 tackles including 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble. Jones contributed seven tackles (3-4) plus his pick six. James Howard had four solo tackles and two pass break-ups in his first career start.

Despite the final score, it was the Warrior defense that made plays and held the Storm offense 175 yards below their season average. Meanwhile, the WSU offense set a season-best with 574 yards including 349 on the ground. Desmond Martin ran for a career-high 292 yards while Sean Guinane was 15-for-25 for a career-best 225 yards and two touchdowns in just his fourth career start. Michael Johnson collected his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season with Jamel Hicks posting his first career 100-yard game. Zak Bielecki led the defense with 12 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and an interception. Nores Fradi totaled 11 tackles including a sack and another 1.5 tackles for loss. WSU started the scoring just 2:11 into the contest on a 53-yard jaunt by Martin. After a three-and-out by Lake Erie, the Warriors drove 80 yards and on play 13 Graham converted his first field goal of the afternoon. Wayne State held a 192-38 edge in total offense after the opening stanza. The Storm ended the next WSU drive with an interception and scored five plays later as the GLIAC’s leading rusher Anthony Bilal went in from 38 yards out. Bilal was held more than 40 yards below his per game rushing average. The Warriors responded with an eight-play drive that only needed 37 yards following a 15-yard penalty on the Storm. The Guinane to Hicks combo recorded the TD on a third-and-six pass completion. Lake Erie pulled within three on the strength of a 17-play, 70-yard drive. On the last possession of the first half, Guinane engineered a 61-yard drive in 2:54 concluding with a field goal by Graham. The first seven drives of the second half (4 by LEC, 3 by WSU) combined did not produce a first down by running or passing. Finally on drive eight, the Warriors went 81 yards in only five plays. Martin had a two-yard TD run, on the play following a 57-yard scamper. Lake Erie’s Bilal scored on a 12-yard run. The Warriors restored their 12-point lead with Martin scoring. Once again the Storm were able to chip away at the WSU advantage as Mitchel Hokavar tossed a TD pass. The Wayne State offense answered with a 83-yard touchdown drive in only six plays. Martin gained 47 yards on the first three plays, before Jay Hayes totaled 36 yards on the next three plays which included a 25-yard touchdown run.

GAME RECAP: The Warriors rallied for 13 fourth quarter points in recording a 20-13 triumph. Hillsdale scored on the game’s opening possession driving 54 yards in nine plays with Steven Mette converting a 43-yard field goal attempt. WSU had two first downs on the ensuing drive but a fourth down pass completion was ruled down with the receivers knee touching the ground on the reception. After a three-and-out by the Chargers, the Warrior offense went 73 yards in 10 plays with Jay Hayes scoring on a one-yard plunge on the second play of the second quarter. The teams traded punts before HC had a 8:05 drive which covered 71 yards in 17 plays concluding on a four-yard touchdown pass from Mark LaPrairie to Mike Carter on a third-and-goal with just 51 seconds remaining before intermission. Mette’s PAT gave the visitors a 10-7 advantage. A fumble on WSU’s second play from scrimmage put the Chargers in business at their own 47. After two completions for 35 yards followed by an incompletion, Mette connected on a 35-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the first half giving Hillsdale a 13-7 lead at intermission. The Wayne State defense was huge in the second half limiting HC to 89 yards in 31 plays and if you take into account an 85-yard interception return by Anthony DeDamos, the “positive” yardage is even less. DeDamos’ return was the longest non-scoring interception return in school history eclipsing an 89-year-old school mark set on October 4, 1925, by George Lester (75 yard return) against Ferris State. On the first drive of the third quarter, Graham missed his first collegiate field goal attempt, after making 14 straight. The next four drives (two from each team) ended in punts with only three combined first downs for the two squads. Hillsdale went 54 yards in 10 plays and on a third-and-goal from the WSU seven, LaPrairie was intercepted by DeDamos at the four. His return went all the way to the Hillsdale 11 before he was brought down. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on WSU pushed the ball back to the HC 26. Carl Roscoe completed a six-yard pass to Michael Johnson on a third-and-four and three plays later Roscoe scrambled for 12 yards for his first collegiate rushing touchdown on a third-and-eight play. Forcing the Chargers to use all three timeouts after running plays, Wayne State’s third holder of the season Jamel Hicks took the snap on a field goal attempt and rushed untouched down the right side for a 20-yard touchdown with 1:30 remaining in the game. Graham’s consecutive PAT streak ended at 42 as his attempt was blocked. Zak Bielecki and DeDamos tied for game-high tackle honors with 12 each. Fradi finished with nine tackles (4-5) including three for loss, which secured the national lead in tackles for loss per game.

The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference began sponsoring football as a league sport in the Fall of 1973 with three teams, Ferris State, Grand Valley State and Northwood. In 1974, Hillsdale joined the league as the fourth football team. The conference expanded again in 1975 when Saginaw Valley State started a football program and Wayne State joined the league. The number of GLIAC football teams grew to seven in 1980 when Michigan Tech was added, though the Huskies left the league after the 1985 season. In 1987, Northwood left the league and was replaced by Northern Michigan. After the 1989 season, the GLIAC dropped football as a sponsored sport. The six conference schools sponsoring football, Ferris State, Grand Valley State, Hillsdale, Northern Michigan, Saginaw Valley State, and Wayne State, joined the five members of the Heartland Collegiate Conference, Ashland, Butler, Indianapolis, St. Joseph’s, and Valparaiso, in forming the football-only Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference (MIFC), which began play in 1990. The MIFC would change again for the 1993 season as two teams would leave and two teams would join. Butler and Valparaiso left the conference, but Northwood rejoined and the College of St. Francis (Ill.) was added. The league grew to 12 teams in 1994 with the addition of Michigan Tech and stayed at 12 teams until St. Joseph’s left after the 1995 season. In 1998, the league expanded to 14 teams with the additions of Findlay, Mercyhurst, and Westminster, but would drop back to 13 teams with the departure of St. Francis after the season. Westminster departed after the 1999 season, leaving 12 teams. Gannon was added before the 2004 season, giving the league a 13-team roster. After nine years of existence as one of the premier conferences in Division II football, the MIFC merged as part of GLIAC on July 1, 1999. The GLIAC has earned the reputation as one of the toughest and deepest conferences in Division II with a strong postseason history. Three GLIAC teams made National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) playoff appearances. Grand Valley State made it to the national semifinals in 1978. Saginaw Valley State made three trips to the NAIA playoffs (1979, 1983, 1984), posting a 2-3 mark. Hillsdale earned five NAIA postseason berths as a member of the GLIAC (1981, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1988), taking home the championship in 1985. The first team to represent the GLIAC in the Division II playoffs was Northern Michigan in 1987. The Wildcats made the D-II semifinals that season. Grand Valley State started a three-year postseason run in 1989, though the Lakers failed to get out of the first round. Butler joined GVSU in the D-II playoffs in 1991, marking the first year the league had two teams participate in postseason play. Butler fell to the eventual national champion, Pittsburg State in the first round. The 1992 Division II playoffs saw the first GLIAC team make it past the opening round in league history. Ferris State posted a first-round win over Edinboro before falling to New Haven in the quarterfinals. The 1992 season marked the beginning of a five-year playoff run for the Bulldogs, with their best performance coming in 1995 after a D-II semifinal appearance. Grand Valley State made its fourth and fifth D-II postseason trips in 1994 and 1998, respectively. Ashland made its first appearance in the playoffs as a member of the GLIAC in 1997. After being shut out of the playoffs in 1999, the GLIAC posted two teams in the 2000 tournament as Northwood and Saginaw Valley State each made their first D-II postseason appearances. The Timberwolves claimed a first-round victory over Indiana (Pa.) before falling to Bloomsburg in the quarterfinals. The 2001 season was historic for the league as two teams made it through the first round of the playoffs. Grand Valley State and Saginaw Valley State each posted opening-round wins and faced each other in the national quarterfinals. The Lakers won a shoot-out in Allendale, 33-30, and cruised to a semifinal win over Catawba. GVSU advanced to the championship game before falling to North Dakota, 17-14. The Lakers redeemed themselves in 2002 by claiming the league’s first Division II football national championship. Grand Valley State defeated Valdosta State in the finals, 31-24. GVSU would repeat as national champions in 2003. The Lakers knocked off North Dakota in that championship game, 10-3. GLIAC co-champions Michigan Tech and Northwood, along with Grand Valley State, would earn playoff berths in 2004. GVSU fell in the regional finals to North Dakota, 19-15. The 2005 season saw more postseason success for the GLIAC. GVSU, SVSU, and Northwood each gained postseason entrance. The Lakers and Cardinals battled for the Northwest Region title, but GVSU advanced,

24-17, and went on to defeat NW Missouri State, 21-17, in the Division II title game. In 2006 both Northwood and Grand Valley State earned postseason berths. The Lakers ran the table and meet NW Missouri State in the finals, claiming a 17-14 victory and winning the leagues’ fourth D-II Championship. GVSU and Ashland earned playoff bids in 2007 and 2008, while 2009 saw Grand Valley State, Hillsdale, and Saginaw Valley State in the D-II postseason. GVSU made an impressive run to the final before falling to NW Missouri State, 30-23. In 2010, GVSU and Hillsdale earned D-II playoff berths with the Lakers falling in the Super Region III Semifinals. 2011 saw Wayne State and SVSU make the postseason with the Warriors making an improbable run to the D-II finals before falling to Pittsburgh State, 35-21. WSU won four consecutive road playoff games as the No. 6 seed in Super Region 3 claiming victories at St. Cloud State (48-38) in a blizzard, 38-26 at Nebraska-Kearney, 31-25 at defending national champion Minnesota Duluth, followed by a 21-14 triumph at unbeaten Winston-Salem State in a national semifinal game televised on ESPN. Ashland represented the Conference in the 2012 playoffs, losing to Midwestern State in the Super Region IV semifinals, 33-28. The GVSU Lakers once again made a deep run in the 2013 NCAA Playoffs which started with a triumph over GLIAC foe Saginaw Valley State. Ohio Dominican earned a first-round by and made its first appearance in the tournament. The Panthers dropped a heartbreaker in Columbus to West Texas A&M, 34-27. GVSU swaggered all the way to the national semifinals after taking out CSU-Pueblo on the road 34-30 and knocking off West Texas A&M in Allendale 35-28. Northwest Missouri State used their home field advantage to defeat the Lakers by a 27-13 final score in the D-II semis. After an exciting 2014 regular season, three GLIAC programs qualified for the NCAA D-II Playoffs. Ohio Dominican returned to the playoffs for the second straight season and took down Colorado Mines on the road in impressive fashion to start the postseason, 34-23. Meanwhile, Angelo State stunned Michigan Tech 42-41 in Houghton after a wild second half comeback from ASU bounced the Huskies at home. In the regional semifinals, Ohio Dominican dissected the unbeaten Ferris State attack and advanced in the back-and-forth contest with a 46-33 victory on the road in Big Rapids. Unfortunately, the ODU run ended in the next round as the Panthers fell behind early and nearly completed a major comeback on the road before falling 31-28 to the eventual national champions, CSU-Pueblo. Though many teams have made history for the GLIAC, the league can also boast upon individual accomplishments. In 2002, GVSU quarterback Curt Anes became the GLIAC’s first Harlon Hill Trophy winner as the Division II Player of the Year. Anes led the Lakers to consecutive championship game appearances, helping GVSU to the national title in 2002. The GLIAC had its second Harlon Hill winner when Wayne State running back Joique Bell claimed the honor in 2009. In 2015, Ferris State quarterback Jason Vander Laan took home the D-II Heisman equivalent after a record-breaking year for the Bulldogs.

Wayne State senior football student-athlete Chet Privett was announced as a recipient of the Fall 2013 Meijer Commissioner’s Award. The Meijer awards are issued after the Fall, Winter and Springs season and highlight six female and six male athletes that excel in both the classroom and on the field of play. Privett was a semifinalist for the 2013 National Football Foundation National Scholar-Athlete Award as well as the 2013 William V. Campbell Trophy, which recognizes the best football scholarathletes in the nation. He played in 45 games over four seasons for the Green and Gold, making 40 starts at fullback. In 2013, he was named to the AFCA Good Works Nominee List after being selected as WSU Football’s 2012 Ultimate Warrior for outstanding work in the weight room. Privett was voted to the 2011 Hansen’s Football Gazette Honorable Mention All-American squad and was also named to the All-GLIAC Honorable Mention team. He scored a rushing touchdown in both the Super Regional #3 championship game win at Minnesota-Duluth as well as in the national semifinal triumph at Winston-Salem State. In the fall of 2013, he was named to the GLIAC All-Academic Excellence team (cumulative GPA 3.5+) for the fourth consecutive year. Privett maintained a 3.67 cumulative grade-point average while majoring in kinesiology (pre-occupational therapy). Since the GLIAC instituted the Commissioner’s Award for the 2007-08 academic year, 26 WSU student-athletes have earned this award a total of 34 times. The eight two-time recipients are Alison Allen, Cauli Bedran, Thomas Ducret, Catherine Leix, Josh Renel, Kayla Scott, Ashley St. Andrew and Mike Wiseman. Warrior football student-athletes to receive the Commissioner’s Award include Mickey Mohner (2012), Chet Privett (2013), Nick Thomas (2012) and Josh Renel in 2010 and 2011.

Two-time GLIAC Commissioner Award recipient Josh Renel is pictured above scoring the first touchdown of the 2011 national semifinal win at Winston-Salem State. He would also score the first touchdown of the 2011 national championship game returning the opening kickoff 93 yards.

SENIOR ALL-STAR GAME PARTICIPANTS Running back Joique Bell became the first former Wayne State University player to participate in the Senior Bowl. In January of 2010, he rushed for 17 yards on eight carries, but recorded a first down on three of his rushing attempts. Four of his carries came on the North’s initial drive of the game setting up a field goal. Four members of the class of 2014 participated in the AllAmerican Bowl Game at AT&T Stadium in Dallas last December. Defensive linemen Justice Akuezue and Sam Sillmon, along with linebacker Marcell Jones and running back Jay Hayes competed with Sillmon receiving the Jim Marshall Award as the Best Defensive Lineman in the contest. Ed Viverette and Toney Davis, both seniors in 2013, played in the National Bowl Game in Miami, Fla. Davis totaled 94 rushing yards on nine carries with a touchdown, while Viverette made numerous tackles. In January of 2012, offensive tackle Joe Long played in the 87th East-West Shrine Game®. The Game was held at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. Long played both offensive tackle and served as a long snapper in the contest. In January of 2011, cornerback Stan Thornton played in the Division II Cactus Bowl. He tallied two tackles and a pass break-up as his Red Storm squad recorded a 28-6 triumph over the Blue Devils. Thornton had a pass break-up of Hillsdale quarterback Troy Weatherhead’s attempt on a third-and-two play on the game’s opening drive. In the Blue Devils’ first drive of the second quarter, Thornton tackled a wide receiver for a five-yard gain on a third-and-six play. He also recorded a solo tackle in the fourth quarter. The Red Storm defense limited the Blue Devils to 4-of-15 on third and fourth down plays during the contest. Thornton’s participation marked the 13th by a Wayne State player in the Division II All-Star game. The Warriors had two seniors from the 2008 campaign participate in post-season bowl games. Both safety Dante Dunn and linebacker Tristan Black played in the East Coast Bowl, while Dunn also saw action in the 2009 Cactus Bowl. Dunn was in on three tackles for the North, while Black made two tackles at the East Coast Bowl. In the Cactus Bowl, Dunn led the East defense with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery and eight tackles, including one for loss. Running back Craig Duppong participated in the 2003 Whataburger Cactus Bowl held in Kingsville, Texas, on the campus of Texas A&M University-Kingsville. Duppong led the East squad in rushing with 33 yards on 12 carries. On his first carry of the game, on a fourth-and-one, Duppong gained three yards. His 11-yard run on the first drive of the second half set up the East’s squad first points. On a thirdand-two rush in the fourth quarter, Duppong gained three yards and another first down. In overtime, he had a five-yard carry on a second-and-10 that led to an East field goal and a 27-24 lead. The West squad threw a 35-yard touchdown pass on its first play in the extra session for a 30-27 win. The year before, WSU senior wide receiver Pierre Brown participated in the 2002 Whataburger Cactus Bowl. Brown had

90

four receptions for 42 yards for the East squad. Formerly known as the Snow Bowl, the Cactus Bowl used an East/West format until the 2011 game with teams comprised of Division II Players. Huston Julian played in the 2001 Cactus Bowl following the completion of the 2000 season. “This was just an amazing experience,” said Julian. “It was nice to put on the pads once again and play the game that I love. There was great support from the community for the game and it was an unbelievable atmosphere to be around. It was nice to be a celebrity for a week.” After the end of the 1997 campaign, Tony Hawk and Derek Lindsay both participated in the 1998 contest. The previous year Ken Johnson was selected, while Gary Ruttan played in the 1996 game. Matt Carey and Joe Gough each participated in the 1995 Snow Bowl. The inaugural NCAA Division II All-Star game was held on January 6, 1994, at the FargoDome in Fargo, North Dakota. Wayne State linebacker Tom Beer was one of six players selected from the MIFC to participate in the inaugural Snow Bowl.

The Wayne State University Department of Athletics is committed to the academic foundation of the Warrior student-athletes, their professional development and community involvement. Programs have been implemented to improve academic performance and retention in order to deliver success in the classroom. During the 2014-2015 academic calendar year nearly 60% of the Wayne State student-athlete body received a 3.0+ Grade Point Average at full time enrollment status. The Wayne State football program had 26 student-athletes receive GLIAC All-Academic team recognition during the 2014 season. Under the direction of head football coach Paul Winters, football studentathletes participate in a daily study table that emphasizes time management, classroom readiness, test taking strategies, tutorial assistance and study group sessions. Dr. Maria Sepulveda of the athletic department supervises the football study table sessions. Football is prevalent in the community through involvement associated with the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Two members from each of the 18 Wayne State sports serve on the committee in efforts to build leadership and a strong relationship with the surrounding community. Joining the entire student-athlete body, the football team assists with fund raising for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, generating resources through canned food and clothing drives, volunteering at local soup kitchens, and mentoring programs. Four members of the 2007 Wayne State University football team were selected for the 2008 NFF Hampshire Honor Society. The announcement was made by the National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame. Selected from WSU were seniors Guye Goodlow, Frank Lietke, Dale Knuth and Kenny Schmidt. The four honorees were the most for any GLIAC school. For the 2008 football season, Wayne State’s Andrew Bates was one of two GLIAC players inducted into the Hampshire Honor Society. The following year both Joe Claiborne and Bruno Shkreli were inducted, while Matt Faulkner received this recognition for the 2010 football campaign. In 2011-12, WSU had the most inductees of any GLIAC school and any college in the State of Michigan with six. Four members of the 2012 senior class received induction into the Hampshire Honor Society with three more from the class of 2013 being added to the list. Last spring, two offensive linemen in Thom Box and Ben Walker were named to the Hampshire Honor Society. Qualifications for membership in the NFF Hampshire Honor Society include: * Being a starter or a significant substitute in one’s last year of eligibility at an accredited NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, Football Championship Subdivision, Division II, Division III, or an NAIA college or university; * Achieving a 3.2 cumulative grade point average throughout entire course of undergraduate study; and * Meeting all NCAA-mandated progress towards degree requirements. A total of 838 players from 267 schools qualified for membership in the society’s eighth year, marking the highest school participation in the history of the program, which began in 2007. The NFF Hampshire Honor Society capitalizes on the NFF’s current National Scholar-Athlete program, greatly expanding the number of scholar-athletes the NFF can recognize each year and further strengthening the organization’s leadership role in encouraging academic performance by the student-athletes who play football at the more than 700 college and universities nationwide. Jon F. Hanson, the chairman and founder of The Hampshire Companies, provided an endowment to launch the NFF Hampshire Honor Society in 2007. He made the contribution as part of his legacy to the organization after serving as NFF chairman from 1994-2006. Each of the 703 players awarded with membership in this year’s Honor Society will receive a certificate commemorating the achievement.

In 2002, Wayne State instituted the Randy Guzowski Award. The criteria includes: an upperclassman, who has shown true dedication to the University community, has demonstrated outstanding team leadership, and has shown exemplary school and community citizenship. The award is named after former WSU student-athlete Randy Guzowski. During his playing days (1977-80), the three-year letterwinner consistently contributed to the program both on and off the field. Following his playing career, Randy continued to serve the University. He joined the WSU police force in 1987 and served 15 years before passing away on December 23, 2001, from complications following a kidney and liver transplant. The inaugural winner, in 2002, of the Randy Guzowski Award was senior offensive lineman Joel Grambau. Senior defensive back Ryan Rutley was the 2003 recipient, while junior defensive back Ryan Oshnock was given the award three times from 2004-06. The 2007 recipient was senior linebacker Alan Guy, with junior Bruno Shkreli earning the award in 2008. Fifth-year senior fullback Brian Rilley was the 2009 recipient, with junior running back Josh Renel receiving the award following both the 2010 and 2011 campaigns. The 2012 recipient was senior wide receiver Steve Conway, while Michael Pack, a senior wide receiver, was the 2013 honoree. Fifth-year senior center Thom Box, who was a two-year team captain, was the 2014 recipient. Box was both a Hampshire Honor Society honoree as well as an Allstate AFCA Good Works Team nominee for his community service.

WAYNE STATE FOOTBALL LOCKERS

2015 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

The Wayne State Department of Athletics prides itself on offering a first-class experience to our student-athletes. Our new and renovated facilities are helping do just that. Conceived as a way to help fund the top-notch facilities for the student-athletes of today and tomorrow, our supporters can leave their permanent mark on the Warriors’ new facilities and help the department continue to offer our student-athletes the tools to make them successful in the classroom, on the field, and in the community. With your tax-deductible gift, payable over four years, you can personalize a locker in any of our three new locker room facilities by purchasing a locker plaque. The plaque will be engraved with your chosen personalization that is then affixed to a current student-athlete’s locker.
