HEAD COACH JOSEPH SMITH

LEADER OF THE ’CATS Former All-American and national championship-winning coordinator Joseph Smith is a winner by any measure

W

ITH MORE THAN 30 YEARS INVESTED at Linfield University as head coach, assistant coach and former AllAmerica defensive back, Joseph Smith is among the college’s longest tenured coaches in any sport. Since becoming head coach in 2006, he has assembled a 138-27 win-loss record that includes 11 Northwest Conference championships and NCAA playoff berths with the Wildcats advancing as far as the NCAA semifinals (2014 and ‘15) and quarterfinals (2012, ’13 and ’21).

A popular but demanding coach, Smith served as an assistant at Linfield for 13 years, including seven seasons as defensive coordinator from 1999 to 2005. During his first season in charge, the Wildcats finished 6-3. Two of the Wildcats’ losses came at the hands of Top 10 teams and the other was to a NCAA Division II program which enjoyed its best season in many years.

With Smith as defensive coordinator, Linfield finished No. 1 in the Northwest Conference in total defense and scoring defense four times.

During that time, the Wildcats went 60-6 and made five NCAA Division III playoff appearances.

Linfield captured the 2004 Division III national championship with a 28-21 win over Mary Hardin-Baylor, a victory that was clinched by a defensive sack in the waning seconds. The Wildcats have won or shared the six NWC titles from 2000 to 2005.

Smith served first as linebackers and defensive line coach before taking over as secondary coach and defensive coordinator.

A second team NAIA All-American in 1992, Smith was a fouryear starter at cornerback and a two-time first team all-conference selection. He earned national distinction as NAIA Division II Defensive Player of the Week in the opening game of 1992, helping

WILDCAT SPOTLIGHT

upward trajectory Through practical experiences with the Trail Blazers and at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trails, Ben Baxter has established a pathway toward a career as a general manager of a country club by marissa dolson ’26

B

en Baxter, a leader on the football field, softball team manager, and president of Theta Chi Fraternity, found his new home at Linfield University. Originally from North Carolina, his family relocated to Sherwood, Oregon, when he was 13.

Baxter has been very vocal about the opportunities Linfield has provided him. The university welcomed him with open arms and has watched him excel ever since.

With football season well underway, he is enjoying practicing and competing with his teammates once again.

He is a returning first team all-Northwest Conference pick as a defensive back and last season led the team with 54 tackles, 34 of which were solo.

While playing a big role on the football field, Baxter also thrives on participating in extracurricular activities that Linfield has to offer.

Baxter is nearing completion of his degree in Sport Management. With aspirations to become a general manager of a golf courst and country club, his love for sports is sure to continue after his football career is concluded.

Baxter credits some of his extracurricular activities to several Linfield advisors who have worked relentlessly with him to find him the most engaging and personalized opportunities outside of class. While being a full-time student-athlete, Baxter is also juggling working with some well-known organizations away from campus. Baxter was ecstatic to talk about his work experiences last winter with the Portland Trail Blazers and at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials, held during the summer at Eugene’s Hayward Field.

Baxter worked for the Blazers through their playoff stretch in 2021. He was in charge of verifying vaccination cards for each person attending. At the Olympic Trials, his job was wide-ranging. Ultimately, Baxter worked to help organize fellow employees and also provided newer employees with help on how to most effectively do their job. Baxter says the Linfield advisors’ personalized support helped build a stable foundation for his future career goals.

“My academic career has helped me immensely,” says Baxter. “I’ve had great advisors who have not only helped me navigate my classes, but helped me set up opportunities to work.”

september 17, 2022

His job experiences have been memorable, he says, because of “the relationships I’ve been able to make through football, school and extracurriculars. Linfield provided me with a unique opportunity to play sports and be involved on campus. The connections I’ve made through football, being a team manager for the softball team, and as President of Theta Chi are something I will cherish long after my time is over at Linfield.”

As softball team manager the past two springs, Baxter worked relentlessly setting up the field on game days and prepping the playing surface. He also traveled with the team throughout the season, helped film the games and served as a bullpen catcher for the pitching staff.

Baxter is extremely grateful for the help from his advisors, professors, coaches, and most importantly his family. He is greatly appreciative of the endless support from his family.

Baxter’s family has always been there for him and their special dynamic has helped Ben flourish. His mother, Angie, and father, Scott, have played crucial roles in shaping their son.

Scott Baxter has been one of Ben’s biggest mentors.

Ben’s father was always by Baxter’s side, whether in the bleachers cheering for his son or standing on the sideline coaching his son and past teammates.

Throughout Ben’s sports career, his father has been one of his biggest supporters. Scott Baxter has always been available to offer advice. He taught Ben to take every obstacle head on and turn it into a life lesson. Those life lessons, says Ben, are not only useful on the field, but also guardrails he uses every day. As Ben reflects on the influence his father has had on him, he appreciates his endless support, time and effort spent watching him grow and develop in and out of sports.

Angie has a different role in shaping Ben, making their family dynamic extra special. Baxter’s mother has also been one of Ben’s greatest fans on the sidelines, but she has also pushed him to become more than just an athlete. Angie has encouraged her son to persevere, always strive to be the best, and excel in the classroom. Baxter says his mom always encouraged him to become an extremely well-rounded individual and to dial in on his faith as well.

Ben Baxter has excelled in every opportunity Linfield University has offered him. He has been an excellent role model to his peers, teammates and friends on and off the football field.

Establishing a foundation for his future career, he has flourished as a football player while balancing classes, working steadily toward his degree, and managing the responsibilities of being President of Theta Chi fraternity and softball team manager. Baxter credits his success to Angie and Scott, his coaches, teammates, and his advisors.

RECENT HONORS End Travis Swanson receives Defensive Player of the Week recogntion from the Northwest Conference It was a back-and-forth battle between Linfield and Huntingdon in the Wildcats’ 2022 season opener Sept. 3 in Montgomery, Alabama. The ‘Cats held on for a 41-34 win over the Hawks, and much of the success on defense was credited to defensive end Travis Swanson.

The reigning Northwest Conference Defensive Player of the Year and D3football.com Second Team Preseason All-American earned the first NWC Football Defensive Student-Athlete of the Week award on Tuesday after a stellar performance in the trenches.

The ‘Cats settled in down the stretch, allowing just seven secondhalf points and shutting out the Hawks in the fourth quarter. The senior defensive end finished the game with five tackles, 4.5 of which were for loss for a combined 24 yards. He had two sacks on the evening.

With Swanson helping to pressure the Huntingdon offense, the Hawks went 5 for 17 on third down while being unsuccessful on all three fourthdown attempts.

REMEMBERING THE 1982 CHAMPIONS Forty years ago this fall, Linfield’s storybook Wildcats claimed the first of four national crowns in football Just before Linfield opened its 1982 football season against Southern Oregon, fullback Mike Freeman was asked if revenge for a 1981 loss to the Raiders would be a motivating factor.

“No - we just look at this as another step toward the national title,” Freeman said.

And, week by week that autumn, the Wildcats made more and more believers that the goal would be met. By December 11, when Linfield beat William Jewell 33-15 in the NAIA Division II national championship game, there seemed no other way such a season could finish.

“It had a storybook ending, didn’t it?

Like it was meant to be,” said Linfield head coach Ad Rutschman, whose team won the first-ever football national championship by a team from Oregon.

Linfield went 12-0. Eight times including all three playoff games - the Wildcats had come from behind to win.

“We were a team of destiny. There was never any doubt about it,” said quarterback Randy Mueller, one of four Wildcats to earn All-America honors. Joining Mueller were nose guard Jim Winston, center Brad Gilbertson and offensive tackle Dave Lorenz.

An indication of the depth of Linfield’s talent came with a look at the all-conference team, as 19 players earned at least

honorable mention. As the ‘Cats got ready for the 1982 season, they had 12 returning starters among their 60 returning lettermen.

Mueller, who missed the 1981 season due to an injury, set single-season school records for pass attempts (327), yards passing (2,180) and total offense (2,430) and tied the school mark for touchdown passes (20). Only twice did a Wildcat rush for at least 100 yards during the season - running back Dan Crowell against Willamette and in the national final against William Jewell - but Linfield averaged 201.6 yards per game on the ground. Four Wildcats had at least 300 yards rushing - Crowell leading the way with 516 yards, running back Tim Nacrelli adding 401, Freeman 338 and wingback Howard Hines 306. Coupling that with Mueller’s passing, Linfield averaged 397.7 yards per game in total offense.

The postseason opened on a sloppy Maxwell Field, but California Lutheran quarterback Russ Jensen was still able to set NAIA playoff records for pass attempts (57), completions (35) and passing yards (437); but he also tied the record for interceptions with seven and Tarpenning had three of those in Linfield’s 20-16 win. Mueller tossed a pair of touchdown passes as Linfield came back from an 8-7 halftime deficit. Westminster of Pennsylvania visited for the national

semifinals and quickly took a nine-point lead, but Mueller’s 49-yard touchdown run started a string of 37 straight points for a 37-9 win.

Mueller passed for 178 yards and rushed for 48, while Steve Hoge had four catches for 97 yards. Winston racked up four quarterback sacks to send Linfield to the national championship game for the first time since the 1965 Camellia Bowl.

McMinnville was chosen to host the final against William Jewell of Missouri, with the site being McMinnville High’s Wortman Stadium. Gov. Vic Atiyeh declared that Saturday “Linfield College Football Day” in Oregon; an overflow crowd of 4,588 filled the stadium and the game was televised live to the state by KATU-TV. William Jewell grabbed the lead on the first play from scrimmage, but it took the Wildcats just three plays to even the score; by halftime, the ‘Cats led 26-7 and had rolled up over 300 yards total offense. Mueller completed 19 of 33 passes for 292 yards and three touchdowns, and Crowell balanced the offense with 15 carries for 112 yards as the Linfield wrapped up the national title.

Afterward, in the midst of the muddy celebration on the field, linebacker Joel Bertsch summed up the afternoon and the season: “It means everything. It means Linfield College.”

WELCOMING GENE “ACE” FORMAN Former Wildcats great and namesake of the Linfield Inspiration Award makes an appearance at the Catdome today Spreading his love and knowledge for the game of football as a small-school coach for more than 30 years after his playing days ended in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down, Gene Forman ’67 has earned distinction as the inaugural recipient of the Linfield Athletics Inspira-tion Award in 2015.

A three-sport standout from Toledo, Wash., Forman turned out for the Wildcat baseball team as an outfielder and pitcher, and also played junior varsity basketball under legendary coach Ted Wilson during his sophomore season. But the gridiron is where the 6-foot-4 athlete found the most success at Linfield.

Lining up as offensive tackle, Forman was a two-year varsity letterwinner for the Wildcats, helping Linfield claim back-to-back Northwest Conference championships and advancing to the 1965 Champion Bowl. He

was an all-league pick as a senior, and with one year of eligibility re-maining, intended to return to Linfield in the fall of 1966.

Leading up to his final season, he split time between Newberg, Ore., where he had joined the National Guard at the encouragement of the Dallas Cowboys, and Longview, Wash., where he pitched for a semi-professional baseball club. Driving home from a game late one night in August, he fell asleep at the wheel and ran off the road, suffering a broken neck in the resulting car accident.

Admittedly fairly naïve about the situation, Forman told Linfield head football coach Paul Durham he still planned to play the next season, despite the fact doctors had told him he was un-likely to regain movement below the chest, and certainly would never play football again.

Throughout his hospitalization and

rehabilitation, Forman never recalled having a “Why me?” moment, and remembered an inspiring day when he regained some flexion in his left leg. Surrounded by supportive family and friends, Forman grew accustomed to life in a wheelchair, including a gifted handcontrolled vehicle that granted him greater independence.

Forman finished his rehabilitation in late winter and returned to Linfield to complete his teaching degree in the spring of 1967. That fall, he served as a graduate assistant as Linfield went 8-1 en route to a co-Northwest Conference championship.

That coaching stint was the beginning of a lengthy and successful career for Forman, who had been considering the option even before his accident. In fact, he got his start as a student, helping to coach youth track in nearby Lafayette dur-ing the spring of 1966.

WELCOMING GENE “ACE” FORMAN High School and Days Creek, Forman amassed nearly 180 victories in 30-plus years at the small Class 1A schools located in southern Oregon. He twice guided his programs to the state championship final, helping the Irish and Wolves to runner-up finishes in 1981 and 1996, respectively.

He was a multiple recipient of coach of the year honors, and also organized a youth day camp for many years, of which the counselors included coaches from the University of Oregon, Western Oregon and Southern Oregon.

Despite having opportunities to coach elsewhere, Forman never elected to move to the larg-er-school ranks.

“The relationships you build, and the players you get a chance to work with are about as good a thing as any,” Forman said recently. “I don’t believe grass is greener on the other side of the fence.”

WILDCATS IN THE PROS Recent Linfield graduates Wyatt Smith and Tyler Sitton spent the summer in Munich, Germany, where they led a GFL professional team to its best record in 20 years Taking their talents oversees during the summer months, two former Linfield Wildcats football stars led the Munich Cowboys to their best season in 20 years.

Wyatt Smith and Tyler Sitton helped lead Munich to an 8-1-1 record and an appearance in the German Football League playoffs.

Despite a furious comeback effort, the Cowboys were eliminated from contention for the German Bowl title, losing by three points.

With Smith leading the offense throughout the season, the Cowboys averaged 30.3 points and 322.9 yards per outing.

Continuing his torrid statistical efficiency from his Linfield days, Smith completed 73.2 percent of his passes while appearing in all 10 games. He passed for 1,819 yards and 17 touchdowns while surrendering just four interceptions in 235 pass attempts.

Sitton, a defensive back, appeared in all 10 games and finished as the Cowboys’ fourth-leading tackler with 44 stops. He also registered an interception and a tackle for loss.

Linfield football coach Joseph Smith, Wyatt’s father, took to Twitter to tweet his congratulations to the two Wildcats: “We are sure proud of you two. You went to a foreign country and brought professionalism, work ethic, selflessness, and heart to a program trying to learn how to win. You showed the Cowboys how to win. We could not be more proud. We look forward to your return!”

The two McMinnville High School graduates each earned their bachelor’s degrees from Linfield before departing for Europe.
