WEST LIBERTY!

West Liberty University (WLU), a public coeducational school and West Virginia’s oldest institution of higher education, is situated on 290 hilltop acres in a rural setting just an hour from Pittsburgh. A satellite campus located at The Highlands Shopping Complex sits adjacent to Interstate 70, minutes from the Pennsylvania and Ohio borders in West Virginia’s Northern Panhandle. Established in 1837, more than 2,500 students are enrolled.

Elementary education and secondary education are the most selected majors but WLU offers more than 70 academic majors in its five Colleges: the Gary E. West College of Business, the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Arts and Communication, the College of Education, and the College of Sciences. West Liberty also offers numerous graduate programs in a variety of disciplines along with degree completion programs for nontraditional students. Students both commute and live in residence halls on campus.

One of the more recent additions to the campus infrastructure is the Campbell Hall of Health Sciences. The 72,000 square-foot multi-story building united the university’s science and health care majors – Dental Hygiene, Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science, Speech Pathology/Audiology, and Chemistry – under one roof.

There is a strong athletic tradition at West Liberty. The men’s basketball team has won 13 national scoring titles, earned 11 consecutive NCAA Division II Tournament bids and advanced to five NCAA Division II Elite Eights – including a run to the 2014 national championship game! Hilltopper football made history in 2009 and 2010 as the only NCAA Division II team ever to lead the nation in scoring and total offense in consecutive seasons and the baseball team won the 1964 NAIA national championship!

Grammy Award-winning country music singer-songwriter Brad Paisley is one of many distinguished West Liberty University alumni. The WLU website is www.westliberty.edu, Twitter feed is wlumedia and Facebook account is www.facebook.com/westliberty.

WWW.HILLTOPPERSPORTS.COM You’re never more than a click away from full and comprehensive coverage of West Liberty University football along with the university’s 19 other intercollegiate sports at the upgraded and redesigned WLU athletics website: www.hilltoppersports.com.

Game stories, pictures, previews, features, game notes, selected media articles and videos are updated daily by the WLU Sports Information staff to keep fans and media supplied with the latest information on the athletic and academic accomplishments of the university’s 400-plus student-athletes.

Links to live streaming video and audio telecasts of all West Liberty home football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball games are posted along with complete game notes and live stats. Links to live audio, complete game notes and live stats (where available) are provided for all away contests.

TOPPERSTATION IS ON THE AIR!

West Liberty University took the wraps off its new digital broadcast platform to rave reviews when TopperStation went live during the 2019-20 academic year.

“We had been working on an enhancement of our broadcasting platform for some time,” university Vice President of Institutional Advancement Jason Koegler said. “TopperStation combines an updated digital presence with a dynamic user experience that will take WLU broadcasting to the next level of 21st Century technology.”

The logo for the digital platform was designed by West Liberty student Kelsey Hayden of Charles Town, W.Va. Aaron Silber from Omni Strategic designed the new website, with video hosting by Brightcove.

Since its inception in a small studio in the basement of Elbin Library, WLU-TV14 has grown into a multi-milliondollar facility with programming that now reaches more than 100,000 cable homes on Comcast Cable Channel 14.

Current programming runs the gamut from community information to educational and entertainment shows and such university events as commencement and concerts. Sports fans especially enjoy the archive of past West Liberty sporting events, with hundreds of full game broadcasts available on demand – some from more than a decade ago.

The flexibility of TopperStation’s new digital platform proved to be a perfect fit for the Hilltopper athletic department.

“TopperStation allowed us to greatly expand out sports coverage,” Koegler said. “We have done live broadcasts of events encompassing nearly the entire WLU athletic spectrum and expect to continue expanding into other NCAA Division II sports action in the future.

“When you look at that capability in addition to our educational and community programming, TopperStation has been a great addition for Hilltoppers everywhere.”

ATHLETIC FACILITIES West Family Stadium Renamed in 2014 to honor the generosity of WLU alumni Gary and Flip West, a brand-new MondoTurf playing surface installed in 2019 is merely the latest in a series of recent upgrades that have transformed West Liberty’s football home into an NCAA Division II showcase.

The new turf follows hot on the heels of the installation of new grandstand seating and a press box upgrade and expansion to provide full radio/ TV broadcast capability along with wireless internet service for all working media.

West Family Stadium’s impressive lighting system along with the enhanced landscaping and design elements have all worked together to make the 4,000-seat facility one of the region’s elite gridiron venues and a popular choice for the Mountain East Conference’s “Thursday Night Lights” television package.

ASRC (Academic, Sports and Recreation Complex) The 145,000-square foot Academic, Sports and Recreation Complex celebrated its 20th anniversary during the 2019-20 academic year and remains one of the nation’s top NCAA Division II multi-purpose athletic facilities.

The 1,200-seat arena serves as the home of West Liberty’s men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, wrestling, and acrobatics & tumbling teams and has been selected to host multiple NCAA Division II regional championship events for wrestling and men’s basketball over the past two decades.

With three Mondo surface basketball courts, a 160-meter indoor track, a well-equipped fitness center, a conference center, full athletic training facilities, administrative offices and numerous classrooms, the facility is a hub of campus activity throughout the year.

West Family Athletic Complex Fueled by another generous gift from Gary and Flip West, the West Family Athletic Complex made a smashing debut in 2019 as the state-of-theart home for WLU’s men’s and women’s soccer, track and cross-country squads.

Featuring a fully-lighted artificial turf soccer field surrounded by a full 8-lane all-weather track built to NCAA specifications, the sparkling green jewel immediately took its place among the top multi-purpose facilities in the region.

With the addition of the West Family Athletic Complex, the Hilltopper track teams can now practice and host meets on campus for the first time in school history. It also allowed the soccer teams to give their student-athletes more time in the classroom by scheduling select contests at night.

Belmont Savings Bank Indoor Practice Facility Fueled by a generous lead gift from Belmont Savings Bank, this massive 14,400-square foot vinyl covered steel frame structure is one of the most eye-catching new additions to the university’s facilities lineup.

Located adjacent to the WLU Softball Complex, the BSB Indoor Practice Facility measures 120 x 120 feet. It is fully heated and insulated so that its artificial turf playing surface can provide an upgraded practice experience for all WLU athletic teams throughout the year.

The BSB Indoor Practice Facility was a boon to all WLU students as it allowed the baseball and softball teams to remove their practice gear from the Blatnik Hall gym, freeing that facility up completely for intramural competition.

WLU Softball Complex The WLU Softball Complex has been hailed as one of the premier NCAA Division II softball facilities in the region ever since its 2010 debut and was chosen as the host site for the 2019 NCAA D2 Atlantic Region I Tournament.

Located adjacent to West Family Stadium, the softball complex is completely enclosed and affords fans a great view of the action from the elevated bleachers.

Other features include modern dugouts, a pro-style backstop, large electronic scoreboard, full-size dual batting cages and an independent irrigation system.

Kovalick Field Honoring the memory of WLU Hall of Famer George Kovalick, Kovalick Field is home to one of the region’s most tradition-laden baseball programs.

Situated in a natural amphitheater with raised bleacher seating, the stadium features a natural grass playing surface with a large electronic scoreboard located in right field.

Modern dugouts complete with safety railings and a new press box are recent additions, making Kovalick Field one of the MEC’s top baseball venues.

H. Edgar Martin Tennis Complex Honoring the memory of legendary West Liberty coach and athletic director H. Edgar Martin, the Martin Tennis Complex has been recognized as one of the region’s premier college tennis facilities for years.

PRESIDENT/ATHLETIC DIRECTOR DR. STEPHEN GREINER PRESIDENT

Dr. Stephen Greiner was selected as president of West Liberty University by the WLU Board of Governors on Oct. 29, 2015 and officially assumed the responsibilities of his office on Jan. 4, 2016. He succeeded Dr. John P. McCullough, who had been serving as interim president of the university.

Greiner announced in November 2019 that he planned to retire following the 2019-20 academic year but agreed to put those retirement plans on hold temporarily while helping shepherd the university through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

A talented and experienced administrator, Greiner has been serving as a college president for nearly two decades and has spent more than four decades on college campuses as a university faculty member and administrator.

He came to West Liberty after a successful five-year stint as president and CEO of Hazard Community and Technical College, a comprehensive multiple-campus public degree granting institution serving approximately 4,000 students in seven counties in eastern Kentucky.

From 2005-10, Greiner served as president of Brunswick Community College, which operates a trio of branch campuses in southeastern North Carolina. He was the president of Virginia Intermont College in Bristol, Va. from 2001-05.

Greiner is an Ohio Valley native. Born and raised in Weirton, W.Va., he graduated from Weir High School in 1964. He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of Kentucky and holds a master’s degree in Public Service from Western Kentucky University.

Greiner earned his doctorate in Education from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Va. Dr. Greiner and his wife, Nancy, reside on campus at historic Colonial Heights, the traditional home of West Liberty’s presidents. They have two grown children, twins John and Jacquelyn.

LYNN ULLOM

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR The winningest women’s basketball coach in West Virginia history and a member of the

West Liberty Hall of Fame, Lynn Ullom has spent more than three decades on the university campus as a student, coach, and administrator.

The WLU athletic department has shown remarkable growth since he was named Athletic Director in 2017 with Hilltopper student-athletes enjoying much success on the field and in the classroom. Several programs have cracked the regional and national rankings while the department has posted a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher in four consecutive semesters – highlighted by a record 3.25 departmental GPA during the spring of 2020.

The student-athletes have benefitted from the addition of several new facilities, including the West Family Athletic Complex for the soccer and track programs and the Belmont National Bank Indoor Practice Facility. Ground was broken this fall for a new weight room and training facility to house the department’s strength and conditioning program.

Averaging more than 20 wins a season throughout his 26-year coaching career, Ullom turned the Lady Hilltopper program into a perennial Atlantic Region power. His WLU women posted 17 20-win seasons, won five regular-season conference titles, six conference tournament crowns, played in 14 conference tournament championship games and earned 14 NCAA tournament bids. Ullom’s 534-252 (.679) career record still ranks among the best all-time in the NCAA Division II ranks.

The 3-time Conference Coach of the Year was the first women’s sports coach to earn the prestigious West Virginia College Coach of the Year Award from the West Virginia Sportswriters Association. He was also named the 2011 WBCA Region 2 Coach of the Year and was a 2016 WBCA Victory Award Club recipient.

A native of Cameron, W.Va., Ullom has two children, Jared and Tessa. Lynn and his wife, Karen, reside in Wheeling. Karen has two daughters, Micah and Alycia.

SEASON PREVIEW 20

WEST LIBERTY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 2020

#GoWLU WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – The dean of Mountain East Conference football coaches with more than 80 wins under his belt, Roger Waialae talked about the unique challenges facing all coaches and student-athletes this year as he heads into his 16th season at West Liberty.

From the COVID-19 pandemic that shut down campuses from coast to coast in March to the widespread protests that erupted following the death of a black man in police custody, forcing the nation into serious discussions about ways to address the problem of racial inequality at the local, state and national levels, priorities have shifted.

“The first thing we’re going to do when we get back is talk about these issues,” said Waialae, one of only three Pacific Islanders working as an NCAA head football coach. “We have a lot of minority guys on the team and the staff. As a minority myself, it gives me a little more insight when we share experiences with each other.”

Given the uncertainty of trying to prepare for a season with no spring practice and no preseason camp while still taking every precaution to safeguard the health of the players and staff, communication will be the key.

“One of the things we focus on here is only worrying about things we can control,” Waialae said. “Unfortunately for us and the young men we work with, there haven’t been many of those recently with the virus and society. All we can do is work through them together on and off the field.”

On the field, WLU brings back 17 starters and 42 lettermen from last year’s 5-6 squad. The Hilltopper coaches also landed a bumper recruiting class, including several collegiate transfers who are expected to make an immediate impact.

One of those transfers was Jack Allison. The grad transfer QB from West Virginia was considered one of the top FBS grad transfers available when he entered the portal last fall. His signing drew national attention to the WLU program.

“The first thing you notice about Jack is the big-time arm,” Waialae said. “He’s seen a lot of collegiate action at a very high level so he understands the speed of the game but he still has to prove it on the field here. We have three pretty good quarterbacks coming back and I’ll go with the guy who gives us the best chance to win.”

“We need to get back to winning or at least competing for conference championships and post-season berths. Part of that is you have to be lucky from an injury standpoint but a big part of it is developing and cultivating leadership. When your best players are your hardest workers, the results show up in the win column. The more we live up to that standard, the more success we’ll have.”

QUARTERBACKS

RUNNING BACKS

A highly-productive 2-year starter, Zach Phillips left big shoes to fill when he graduated and Waialae upped the ante by signing Allison in February. A former Top 100 recruit, Allison’s 10 games at WVU were highlighted by a career-high 278 passing yards vs. Syracuse in the 2018 Camping World Bowl. Junior Erick Taylor played in 7 games for the Black and Gold last fall, completing 43-of-100 passes for 451 yards and 5 TDs, while redshirt freshmen Jamie Dixon and Jordan Wood each benefitted from a year of development.

Senior Quincy Wimbish is a returning starter at running back after rushing for a team-high 417 yards and 7 TDs last fall. Fellow senior D.J. Frisby has had the longest run from scrimmage each of the last two years and senior Savion Johnson has been a force when healthy.

Sophomore Jared Alphonso saw action on special teams a year ago.

New to the mix are impressive redshirt freshman Jayvon Wilson out of Florida and Charleston transfer Tyler Moler, a former All-Stater from Parkersburg. True freshman Dylan Asbury put up big numbers at nearby Washington (Pa.) High School.

“Jack came here looking for an opportunity,” Waialae said. “He’s a very talented passer and he’ll get that opportunity but he’ll have to earn it. The guy who wins the job is the guy who shows me I can trust what he’s going to do on the field in our system. Erick has the most experience in the offense while Jamie and Jordan really made the most of their redshirt years. Not having spring ball or preseason camp is a challenge but it’s one we have to overcome.”

“We have three seniors with years of experience in crunch time and Alphonso earned a shot on special teams as a true freshman,” Waialae said. “Wilson had a strong redshirt year, Moler is a quality transfer and Asbury’s a talented kid who had to sit out his senior year at Wash High due to injury. We need to run the ball better and get back to more of a 50-50 mix. It’s not just the backs. We have to trust each other a little more, block a little better up front, make quality pre-snap reads. That’s all part of the puzzle.”

21

Section II

TIGHT ENDS/H-BACKS Junior Thomas Cole, a Wake Forest transfer, is a returning All-MEC standout at tight end while senior Kyle Ritz is a three-year letterman.

Cole led WLU with 53 catches last year, racking up 583 yards and 6 TDs. The loss of three-year starter Ridge Durbin stings but sophomore Jesse Collins has an impressive resume and similar skill set. Redshirt freshmen Desmond Powell and Eric Jacobs add depth, with Powell making the transition from defensive end.

“Cole’s combination of size and speed make him a matchup nightmare for everybody,” Waialae said, “and Ritz has done everything we’ve asked him to do at a high level for several years.

Collins was a 2,000-yard rusher in high school who has the potential to be a Ridge Durbin-type possession receiver. The numbers are down a bit here so we moved Powell from defense to offense for added depth.”

OFFENSIVE LINE With four of five starters returning, Waialae expects the offensive line to take a big step up this fall. Senior Wyatt Gardner returns at center with juniors Tyler Ely and Francisco Pedrozo back at the tackle spots and Austyn Todd a returning starter at guard. Senior TJ Lew and junior Quinton Williams also have starting experience while sophomores Cody Vokes and Blake Neely also return. Redshirt freshman Ryan Creech is healthy again and will be in the mix while fellow redshirt freshmen Trey DelGuzzo, Domenic Mills and Zack Meade will also push. Waialae thinks his four freshman recruits – Jude Omobhude, Elijah Mike, Brenden Luffey and Jake Wilson – could challenge some of the returners.

“The talent is there,” Waialae said, “and with four starters back up front, we need this group to be more consistent, more dominant in order to get where we want to go. We have some experienced depth behind them along with some quality redshirts while we may have had our best recruiting class ever on the offensive line. All four of those guys are potential impact performers and that impact could come very soon. They’re ready to compete physically. It’s all about how quickly they adapt to the college game.”

WIDE RECEIVERS Senior speedster Isaiah Robinson leads a quality receiving corps

which may get even more of a boost over the summer. A recordsetting track star in the spring, Robinson led WLU with 837 receiving yards and 9 TDs on 52 catches a year ago. Fellow seniors Wisdom Jenkins and Will Billeter add quality game experience along with junior standout Nate Phillips and speedy sophomores Dakota Williams and Anthony Smoot. Look for redshirt freshmen Craig Bober, Anthony Robbins, DeVon Harris and Nate McCutcheon to make their presence felt. Newcomers include talented juco transfers Tariq Glenn and Jeremy Seadorf along with true freshmen Titus Goldson, Eddie Mason and Jamal Russell.

“We need to be dominant at wide receiver to run the ball effectively and this is as deep and talented a group as we’ve had for a while,” Waialae said. “Isaiah’s a game-breaker but Jenkins, Phillips, Williams, Billeter and Smoot all played last year plus we’ve been really impressed by the talent level of our redshirts. I’m very high on the transfers, especially Glenn’s ball skills and ability to run after the catch. We’re also working on a couple more impact transfers who could get here in August.”

22

DEFENSIVE LINE The loss of All-MEC defensive tackle Cody Rine will be felt but there’s

no lack of depth, experience or talent on WLU’s defensive forward wall. Seniors Cody Enrietti, Brendan Nichols and Lupe Fonua all saw quality time inside a year ago along with junior Francesco Borsellino and Mike Cullinane. Add Nate Green, a Power 5 grad transfer from West Virginia, and Brodrick Watson, a transfer from FCS Northern Colorado, to the mix along blue-chip freshmen Dom Thomas and John Brown and the Black and Gold seem set inside. Juniors David Gilcreast and Kenyon Felder are returning starters at defensive end with former starter Trevor Hoosier also back after a redshirt year. Junior Jack Davis is a proven playmaker while several of the tackles have experience at end, as well. Redshirt freshman Zach Vincenti will get a long look along with newcomers C.J. Wade, Edwin Linares and James Tyson.

“We have a lot of playmakers in this group with several of them have the ability to play multiple positions,” Waialae said. “That gives us great flexibility and allows us to seek out match-up advantages while keeping fresh personnel on the field. We need this group to be physical and set the tone from the opening snap week in and week out.”

WEST LIBERTY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 2020

#GoWLU LINEBACKERS Both senior starters – Walter Peters and All-MEC pick Clay McDonald

– return at linebacker along with impressive sophomore Maceo Christmas, who earned several starts a year ago before going down with an injury. Junior Craig McRae and sophomore Woodrow Hughes also impressed. Playing time figures to be at a premium for everybody with a pair of graduate transfers – Devon McNutt (Youngstown State) and Donte Davenport (Slippery Rock) – entering the mix. Junior David Rush is another juco transfer with sophomore Shawn Allen joining freshmen Nick Coulter, Gage Fiore, Onaje Lewis and Josh Ankrom in a crowded field.

“This is a really good spot for us,” Waialae said. “Clay had a strong junior year; Peters and McRae played well in their first season. Maceo was off to a great start before he got hurt and I thought we really helped our depth and talent with the two graduate transfers. We got some experience for the other guys and we think the freshmen we brought in will contribute at some point.”

CORNERBACKS Sophomore De’Andre Williams led the team in interceptions a year ago and returns at one corner spot but a replacement must be found for All-Region corner Josh Ojo. Fortunately, there’s no lack of candidates. Ohio Dominican transfer Shyoun Petteway and redshirt freshman Alex Withers are among the leading contenders with sophomore J’Aire Pritchett, redshirt freshman Jalen Creighton and transfer Nazir Hopson in the hunt. True freshmen Travon Green and Jason Mitchell should also challenge and Waialae isn’t ruling out the possibility of some late additions.

“Even with the losses, we feel pretty good about our corners,” Waialae said. “Williams, Withers and Petteway gives us a good returning nucleus and we have several other talented options. We’re also working with a couple of potential impact transfers who could give us a big boost.”

SPECIAL TEAMS Both starting kickers are back. Junior PK Owen Rozanc is already climbing the career charts at WLU after two solid seasons while senior Austin Mayfield took over punting duties last year and finished No. 2 in the MEC. Reitter also returns with game experience. True freshmen Matt Curry and Mitchel Kolapo were outstanding high school punters.

Finding a new long snapper will be a point of emphasis in August along with settling on kick and punt returners.

SAFETIES Graduation hit WLU hard in the secondary with 3-time All-MEC safety Logan Deri and 2-time Academic All-American Brandon Morrison among the casualties. Sophomore Koty Hudson is a returning starter at free safety backed by redshirt freshmen Kaden Rice and Spencer Hutchison. Sophomore Reid Reitter and true freshmen Jayquawon Phillips are also here. Junior Kam Davis and sophomore DaJuan Jones will get first look at nickel with redshirt freshman Jamaal Petteway expected to challenge along with freshmen Marquise Richardson and Brad Craig. Davenport played all three levels – defensive end, linebacker and safety – for Slippery Rock’s NCAA D2 national semifinalist last year so his playmaking abilities could be a good fit in the secondary along with transfer Nazir Hopson. Several cornerbacks could also plug into a safety spot so there will be plenty of moving pieces when practice gets under way.

“We don’t normally carry this many kickers but injuries are always in the back of your mind,” Waialae said. “Owen has been extremely consistent. He wants to be good; he works hard at it and has made himself into one of the best kickers in the region. Austin has a really big leg and punted well for us last year. I’m not worried about our return game since we have so many good options but we’ll start working our long snappers as soon as we get to school. We have several guys with experience but I want to identify one and start loading him up with reps. Coaches lose more sleep over long snappers than any other position. Nothing flips the field faster than a blocked kick or bad snap.”

“We will miss Logan’s leadership as much if not more than his playmaking ability,” Waialae said. “We have the talent but have to replace a lot of experience back there. Hudson really stepped up a year ago and we look for him to build on that. After not having spring practice or August camp, getting guys in the right spot as quickly as possible will be a big focus once we get to campus.”

#GoWLU ROGER WAIALAE (16th Year) Head Coach Dubuque (1989)

The dean of Mountain East Conference football coaches, Roger Waialae’s 82 career wins lead all MEC grid bosses by a wide margin as he heads into his 16th year at the Hilltopper helm.

Those 82 victories also rank No. 2 on the school’s all-time list, trailing only WLU Hall of Famer Joe Bartell, who went 118-55-11 from 1933-56.

The Black and Gold fell just one win shy of posting the ninth winning season under Waialae a year ago and did so in exciting fashion. A pair of last-minute road victories at Wheeling and West Virginia Wesleyan along with an overtime non-conference win at Walsh (Ohio) helped WLU to a final 5-6 ledger with the promise of better things to come.

Waialae and his Hilltoppers have enjoyed plenty of on-field success over the years, finishing .500 or better in league play nine times and making their presence felt at the regional and national levels.

His 2009 and 2010 squads made history as the only NCAA Division II program ever to lead the nation in scoring and total offense in consecutive seasons. That group just missed an NCAA Division II playoff bid with a 7-3 record and tied for runner-up honors in the WVIAC with a 6-2 league mark – the fifth straight year Waialae’s Hilltoppers had finished first or second in the league.

That 2010 team followed on the heels of the powerful 2009 squad which won a school ROGER WAIALAE Year School All Conf. record 11 games while carving an unbeaten swath through the WVIAC and advancing to the NCAA Division II national quarterfinals. The 2009 Hilltoppers cracked the AFCA Top 25 for the 2005 West Liberty 6-5 4-4 first time in school history, finishing the year ranked No. 9 in the national poll.

2006 West Liberty 7-4 4-3 The team success during the Waialae Era has been matched at the individual level. Ben 2007 West Liberty 8-3 6-2 Staggs won the 2009 Gene Upshaw Award as the nation’s top NCAA Division II lineman while 2008 West Liberty 7-4 6-2 Zach Amedro shattered several NCAA Division II passing records and was a 2-time runner-up 2009 West Liberty 11-2 8-0 for the Harlon Hill Trophy as National Player of the Year. Waialae has coached 17 NCAA Division 2010 West Liberty 7-3 6-2 II All-Americans and 57 first-team All-Conference selections during his time at the helm.

2011 West Liberty 1-10 1-7 A native of Hawaii, Waialae is one of only three Pacific Islanders working as an NCAA head 2012 West Liberty 6-5 4-4 football coach and the only one at the NCAA Division II level. The Small-College All-America 2013 West Liberty 3-8 3-6 quarterback from the University of Dubuque (Iowa) was inducted into the Dubuque Hall of 2014 West Liberty 6-5 6-4 Fame in 2008.

2015 West Liberty 5-6 5-5 Waialae spent one year at Dubuque as offensive coordinator before heading overseas for a 2016 West Liberty 4-7 4-6 year as a player-coach with the Munich Rangers of the German-American Football League. He 2017 West Liberty 3-8 3-7 served two years as offensive coordinator at Bethany (W.Va.) College before coming to West 2018 West Liberty 3-8 3-7 Liberty as an assistant coach in 1992.

2019 West Liberty 5-6 4-6 Roger and his wife, Karen, are the parents of three children – Ryan, Laura and Kayla.

Totals 82-84 67-65

JEFF MONTEROSO (16th year)

Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers Occidental (1985) Jeff Monteroso begins his 16th year as the Hilltoppers’ defensive coordinator and will also be working with the linebackers. Monteroso’s defense must replace a pair of All-Region standouts in safety Logan Deri and cornerback Josh Ojo but All-MEC linebacker Clay McDonald is back for his senior season to lead an opportunistic unit that ranked among the Top 10 in the NCAA in turnovers forced a year ago.

Ojo and Deri are the latest in a lengthy honor roll of outstanding defenders under Monteroso. Other highlights include Marco Ricchetti, who earned NCAA D2 All-America honors in 2012; 2010 All-American and WVIAC Defensive Player of the Year Clay Beeler and 2009 All-America DB Derrick Evans, who led the nation with 30 passes defended and 9 interceptions. Hall of Famer Darren Banks, a 2008 West Liberty alum, was the only 3-time first-team All-American in WVIAC history.

A 1985 graduate of Occidental (Calif.) College, Monteroso had coaching stints at Sul Ross State (Texas), San Mateo (Calif.) State, East Tennessee State University, Marietta (Ohio) and Arizona Western before setting down roots on the hilltop. He earned his master’s degree from East Tennessee State in 1991.

Jeff and his wife, Dr. Cathy Monteroso, have two sons, Daniel and Michael, and a daughter, Claire. Dan played three years of Big Ten football at Purdue before returning to West Liberty as a graduate student to complete his football eligibility. An All-MEC wide receiver at WLU in 2016, Dan was a 2-time All-American on the basketball court. Also 2-time Academic All-American, he was honored as the 2017-18 NCAA Division II Academic All-American of the Year and is currently pursuing a professional basketball career in Europe.

DAN HOPKINS (14th year)

Offensive Line/Strength & Conditioning/Running Game Coordinator Millersville (2002) Dan Hopkins kicks off his 14th season as West Liberty’s offensive line coach and strength and conditioning coordinator and will once again be serving as run game coordinator for the Black and Gold.

A total of 22 offensive linemen have received some form of post-season recognition during Hopkins’ tenure. Consensus NCAA D2 All-American Ben Staggs won the 2009 Gene Upshaw Award as the NCAA D2 Lineman of the Year and played in the East-West Shrine Game. The 2010 team featured first-team All-Region selections Larry Wriedt at tackle and Nick Madia at center. Wriedt was a second-team NCAA Division II All-America selection.

Hopkins came to West Liberty in 2007 after two years as offensive line and strength and conditioning coach at Mansfield (Pa.). He also had stints at Tennessee-Martin and Temple after breaking into the college ranks at Millersville (Pa.) and spent part of 2006 in Innsbruck, Austria helping coach the Swarco Raiders to the European Professional Football League’s Austrian Bowl championship. Hopkins also traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2010 to conduct a high school football clinic.

Hopkins split his collegiate playing career between Glenville State and Bloomsburg (Pa.). He holds a bachelor’s in Psychology and a master’s in Sport Management from Millersville and is a certified strength and fitness trainer.

Dan and his wife, Emily, reside in Triadelphia, W.Va. with their son, Everett.

BRIAN HILL (3rd year)

Defensive Line/Special Teams Coordinator Glenville State (1992) West Virginia native Brian Hill is back for his third season as defensive line coach on the hilltop and will once again be serving as WLU’s special teams coordinator.

Hill brought more than two decades of collegiate coaching experience when he arrived following a 2-year stint as associate head coach and defensive line coach at Lenoir-Rhyne (N.C.). Prior to his stop at LRU, the highly-regarded grid mentor had a 5-year run as special teams coordinator, strength and conditioning coach and defensive line coach at Georgia Military College (2011-15).

He also served as defensive line coach at Furman in 2010 and was associate head coach, defensive coordinator and defensive line coach at Concord in 2009. Hill came to Concord after his first stint at Lenoir-Rhyne (2002-08), holding down various positions including defensive coordinator, assistant head coach and associate head coach. After four seasons as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Union (Ky.) College, he was promoted to head coach in 1999 and led the program for the next three seasons.

The long-time grid boss has also had coaching stops at Cumberland (Ky.), Virginia Military Institute and Glenville State after wrapping up a stellar playing career at Glenville.

As a player, Hill was a four-year regular in the middle of the Pioneers’ defensive line before graduating in 1992 with a Physical Education degree. He also holds a master’s in Physical Education from Union (Ky.).

Brian and his wife, Jamie, have one daughter, Emma Jaye.

CHUCK HAGGERTY (13th year) Running Backs Wooster (1987)

Chuck Haggerty enters his 13th season on the West Liberty staff this fall. The veteran coach has spent most of his time at WLU schooling the Hilltopper running backs. Jeremiah Ortiz, who rushed for 1,068 yards during the 2017 season, was merely the latest first-team All-MEC ballcarrier produced under Haggerty’s watch.

The veteran coach has developed a number of record-setting tailbacks for the Black and Gold. His most decorated pupil was Kevon Calhoun, who set school records for scoring, rushing touchdowns and touchdowns during the 2010 season. Branden Ore made his mark in 2008, rushing for 1,257 yards and 20 TDs after transferring from Virginia Tech.

Haggerty has been on the sidelines as a player and coach for more than three decades dating back to his high school days. Before making the jump to the collegiate ranks, he spent 14 seasons as an assistant coach at Buckeye Local (Ohio) High School.

A 1987 graduate of the College of Wooster, Haggerty was a three-year starter and All-Conference honoree at defensive back for the Fighting Scots.

Haggerty resides in Rayland, Ohio with his wife, Debbie, and their daughters, Brianna and Cortni.

#GoWLU CURT MCGHEE (11th year) Defensive Backs Pittsburgh (1998)

Former NCAA Division I standout Curt McGhee heads into his 11th season working with the WLU defense and will once again be guiding the defensive backs. McGhee has developed numerous All-MEC standouts during his time with the Black and Gold. All-Region DBs Logan Deri and Josh Ojo capped impressive careers in 2019 as did safety Brandon Morrison – the first two-time NCAA D2 Academic All-American in program history.

McGhee enjoyed a highly-productive college career at Pitt as a four-year letterman (1993-97) in the defensive secondary for head coaches Johnny Majors and Walt Harris. He was a Panther team captain during his senior season and his four-year total of 244 tackles still ranks among the top 25 all-time at Pitt.

McGhee is an Ohio Valley native, having been a multi-sport standout during his high school days at Wheeling (W.Va.) Central Catholic High School. He entered the high school coaching ranks immediately after graduating from Pitt and logged more than a decade working on football staffs at Bridgeport (Ohio), Wheeling Central and Bellaire (Ohio) High Schools before making his college coaching debut at West Liberty.

Curtis has two children, a son, Curtis Casbell McGhee III who is an Ivy League freshman on the Brown football team, and a daughter, Mischa Shae-Marie McGhee.

JOHNNY BONAR (5th year) Wide Receivers West Liberty (2009)

A former West Liberty standout, Johnny Bonar is back for his fifth season as wide receivers coach at his alma mater. Bonar has produced a series of productive pass catchers for the Black and Gold, highlighted

by Dan Monteroso’s All-MEC season in 2016.

A four-year letterman and three-year starter from 2005-08, Bonar was one of WLU’s most reliable wideouts throughout his career. He caught a total of 89 passes for 1,445 yards and scored 5 touchdowns in four seasons with the Black and Gold, capping his career with a pair of 100-yard receiving games during his senior season.

Bonar was a standout wide receiver at John Marshall (W.Va.) High School, where he was a favorite target of future West Liberty teammate and NCAA Division II All-American Zach Amedro. A multi-sport athlete, Bonar was also a two-time All-OVAC selection in basketball for the Monarchs.

Before joining the WLU staff, Bonar spent five years as an assistant coach at Bishop Donahue (W.Va.) High School. He was also selected as a member of the West Virginia coaching staff for the 2015 Rudy Mumley OVAC Charity All-Star Classic. Johnny and his wife Katrina have two children, Jackson and Kennedy.

BRANDON TATE (2nd year) Tight Ends/H-Backs West Virginia (2007)

Now in his second season coaching tight ends and H-Backs at WLU, Brandon Tate brought multiple years of NCAA Division I experience as a player, coach and support staffer to the hilltop when he arrived last fall.

Tate spent the 2018 season as a recruiting specialist on Mississippi State Outback Bowl squad. Tate was involved in all aspects of MSU’s recruiting efforts, including assisting with initial evaluations, coordinating video presentations by position for the coaching staff, managing the Mississippi State recruiting board and preparing weekly reports.

As a player, Tate received numerous academic honors during three years as a tight end at West Virginia University (2004-07). He was a member of three New Year’s Day bowl championship teams (Gator, Sugar and Fiesta) and earned multiple berths on the Athletic Directors’ Honor Roll as well as a Division I ScholarAthlete Award. Tate closed out his college career by lettering at Alcorn State in 2008.

He began his coaching career as a Graduate Assistant with the Mountaineers in 2009 and served as a GA at Marshall in 2010 before moving into the high school ranks as head coach and guidance counselor at Tazewell (Va.) High School. Tate returned to the Mountain State in 2012 as an assistant coach and guidance counselor at Morgantown High School before rejoining the Marshall football program as an Athletic Academic Counselor in 2017.

Tate is a 2007 graduate of West Virginia University with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and also holds a master’s degree in Secondary Education and Guidance Counseling from Alcorn State.

Brandon and his wife, Rebecca, have four children: Braylon, Braxton and twins Kaden and Kenna.

Section VI

CONFERENCE HISTORY West Liberty was a charter member of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference when it formed in 1924 and won or shared 16 WVIAC football championships during a lengthy affiliation which ended with the league’s dissolution in 2013.

The Hilltoppers joined 11 other schools in forming the Mountain East Conference, which began operation as the NCAA’s newest Division II all-sports league in the summer of 2013.

Reid Amos was appointed as the MEC’s first commissioner with the conference offices centrally located in Bridgeport, W.Va. The 12 charter members of the MEC included nine West Virginia institutions – Concord University, Fairmont State University, Glenville State College, Shepherd University, The University of Charleston, West Liberty University, W.Va. State University, Wheeling University, and W.Va. Wesleyan College – along with Notre Dame College and Urbana University from Ohio and the University of Virginia’s College at Wise.

Urbana closed its doors in the spring of 2020, leaving the conference with 11 members. he MEC crowns conference champions in a T total of 22 sports: men’s/women’s basketball, men’s/women’s cross country, men’s/women’s indoor and outdoor track and field, men’s/ women’s golf, men’s/women’s soccer, men’s/ women’s swimming, men’s/women’s tennis, women’s lacrosse, women’s acrobatics & tumbling, women’s softball, women’s volleyball, women’s lacrosse, men’s baseball, men’s football, and men’s wrestling.
