THE COACHES
HEAD COACH REED HOSKINS
Reed Hoskins was hired as the 34th head coach in Simpson football history on Dec. 12, 2022. He guided the Storm to a 3-7 record in his first season.
Hoskins made his way to Indianola after spending seven seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Illinois Wesleyan. He helped guide the Titans to a 41-22 record during that time as well as a pair of College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin titles in 2017 and 2018.
During Hoskins’ time at Illinois Wesleyan, the Titan offense produced 20 All-CCIW selections including five during the 2018 season which saw Illinois Wesleyan rank top-10 nationally in eight statistical categories. The Titans went 6-4 this past season, a three-win improvement from the previous year and the fifth six-win campaign in the last seven years.
Prior to Illinois Wesleyan, Hoskins spent the 2011-2015 seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Wisconsin-La Crosse. He coached 18 all-conference performers while also serving as the academic coordinator for the Eagles, who maintained a team grade point
average above 3.0 for 10 consecutive semesters.
From 2008-11, Hoskins was the passing game coordinator, quarterbacks and wide receivers coach at his alma mater and fellow American Rivers Conference foe Wartburg. He helped guide the Knights to league championships in both his first and last seasons in Waverly. Hoskins also had two coaching stints with St. Cloud State (2007-08) and North Carolina Wesleyan (2006-07).
Hoskins graduated from Wartburg in 2006 and was the starting quarterback for the Knights three seasons, earning second team all-conference recognition as a sophomore. He ranks fifth all-time in career passing yards (6,433), passing touchdowns (56), pass completions (489) and pass attempts (864).
Hoskins and his wife, Elizabeth, have three children: Haylee, Addison, and Carter.

RETIRED NUMBER
23 RICKY GALES
1988-89 • Running back
Deric “Ricky” Gales is arguably the finest running back ever to put on a Simpson uniform. After spending two years at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, the 6-1, 195-pound Des Moines native joined Simpson in time for the 1988 season. Gales led Simpson to its first Iowa Conference title in 19 years and was named first team All-Conference.
Entering the 1989 season, Gales’ star was on the rise. He was selected as a preseason All-American by three different publications, the Football Gazette, Sporting News, and the College Football Preview. By the time the season ended, Gales would rewrite the record book and was named the National Small College Player of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). He would later receive the AFCA’s Coaches Choice Award in January 1990.
Aided by his high rushing statistics, Gales averaged 14.4 points per game during his career. He led Division III as a senior in both rushing (2,035 yards) and points (166). With Gales leading the way, Simpson led the nation in total offense (5,140 yards).
Entering the 2017 season, Gales still holds the reocrd for most consecutive 200 yard games, rattling off eight to close the 1989 season. In what turned out to be his final collegiate game, Gales rushed for 389 yards in a 42-35 loss to St. John’s (Minn.) in the first round of the 1989 NCAA Division III playoffs. At the time, the yardage broke the record in all three NCAA Divisions, but did not count as an official NCAA record since it came during the playoffs.
Gales owns the school record for rushing yards in a season and is second in career rushing yards despite playing just two seasons. He was named first team All-Conference in 1989 and became the first Simpson player to be named Iowa Conference MVP. He led the Simpson offense to IIAC records for most yards per game (528.5) and total offense (788, set against William Penn Sept. 23, 1989).
Upon the conclusion of his career, Gales became the only football player in the history of the Simpson program to have his number retired. His jersey continues to hang in the hallway of the Cowles Athletic Complex, honoring his unparalleled accomplishments on the Simpson gridiron.
Gales was inducted into Simpson’s Hall of Fame in 2004.

FACILITIES

Buxton Stadium
The home for Storm football on Saturday afternoons since 1949, Buxton Stadium was named in honor of longtime Simpson and Indianola benefactor, William Buxton III ‘28 in 1998. The stadium was previously named Neff Field after L.N. Neff.
The centerpiece of Simpson’s campus, the stadium seats 5,000 fans and features state-of-the-art playing surfaces. The track and turf inside the stadium were installed in August 2022 with safety measures for concussion prevention. The stadium also boasts a high-definition video board spanning 15 feet by 28 feet. Showcasing a multimedia, LED video display, the project was made possible by gifts from members of Simpson’s 1969 Mineral Water Bowl football team.
