UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 14 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES

2018 SEASON PREVIEW INTRO

The University of New Hampshire football program has advanced to the NCAA playoffs a national-best 14 consecutive years, and last season the Wildcats defeated fourth-seeded Central Arkansas on the road to advance to the quarterfinals for the ninth time during this playoff run.

It marked the 150th career win for head coach Sean McDonnell, who is entering his 20th year at UNH’s helm.

New Hampshire returns nine starters on both offense and defense, and that includes CAA Preseason All-Conference Team selections Trevor Knight, Neil O’Connor and Quinlen Dean. Knight was also voted the CAA Preseason Offensive Player of the Year and O’Connor has been named to multiple preseason All-America teams.

THE CAPTAINS

Senior captains Trevon Bryant, Jae’Wuan Horton and Jared Kuehl are prepared to lead UNH football into the 2018 season.

“Our players vote on this every year and I thought it was a great decision by our team,” McDonnell said. “Trevon Bryant is a two-time captain. That’s one of the few times ever in UNH football history that’s happened. I think the world of Jae’Wuan Horton and the world of Jared Kuehl. Both those guys are handworking guys, have come through the program. They do it in all sorts of phases. On the field, off the field. They do everything we need them to do in the classroom.”

Bryant was a senior during 2017 spring camp but an injury sidelined him for the season. Despite the injury, his teammates elected him a 2017 captain.

“Having to be out with my injury and being able to be a captain taught me a lot about how the season goes,” Bryant said. “Now I know what things we’ll encounter as we play tough teams. Now I know how to approach things and how to bring my team along even better. I’m excited to see how I grew from last year.”

Horton and Kuehl are excited about the opportunity to lead as captains as well.

“It’s a big honor,” Horton said. “You get to lead the whole team. The fact that all the guys think that I’m somebody that can lead them to a championship is a great honor. (I’ll) lead vocally and lead by example. If I do the right things, I think the young guys and everybody else on the team will follow.”

Kuehl agrees.

“It’s a big honor when you look at all the captains before us like Jake Kennedy, Ryan Farrell and Casey DeAndrade. It’s just an honor to follow their footsteps and follow with the tradition that it holds. We all have different styles of leader- ships. Jae’Wuan and Trevon are more vocal guys.

They lead pregame speeches, all that. I’m more lead by example, pitch in once in a while when it’s needed. I’m more of an example guy.”

QUARTERBACKS

Trevor Knight put up one of the most productive seasons ever for a University of New Hampshire quarterback in 2017. He’s coming back for his senior season looking to improve on an impressive campaign, looking for a little more.

“One of the things I really like about working with Trevor is he has really high expectations for himself and the team,” said Keith LeVan, UNH’s new quarterbacks coach. “He’s showed up every day with a great attitude, trying to get himself better. He’s not just going through the motions as an established guy who has played a lot football around here.

He’s really set the tone for that position and the offense, to try and get the most out of each day.”

Knight, who stands 6-foot and 198 pounds, played a limited role during his redshirt freshman season and was the starter the bulk of the games his sophomore season before becoming the clear No. 1 last year.

He responded by completing 291 of his 471 passes (61.8 percent) for 3,433 yards and 26 touchdowns – the most by a Wildcat since 2008.

Knight was nationally-ranked in the Top 20 in five stats, including ninth in passing yards and 13th in passing TDs. His 245.2 passing yards per game were second best in the league and the 3,433 total was the second highest in a season at UNH behind only the 3,797 yards Ricky Santos put up as a senior in 2007.

While there’s no question who the starting quarterback is, things are lively amongst the quarterbacks.

Sophomore Christian Lupoli (6-2, 187) is the other quarterback with experience. He came on in relief for an injured Knight last year during a second-round playoff game against Central Arkansas and led the Wildcats to a 21-15 win. With UNH leading 14-9, Lupoli engineered an 11play, 63-yard TD drive to extend the advantage to 21-9 midway through the third quarter. He finished the game completing 8 of 10 passes for 63 yards, including a nine-yard TD pass, for a 165.92 passer efficiency rating.

The other quarterbacks are redshirt-freshmen Stephen Hedberg, a 6-3, 192-pound lefthander, and Tommy Herion (6-1, 185). Herion, who’s from Chicago, was recruited by UNH out of high school, but elected to take a preferred walk-on offer from the University of Iowa. He transferred to UNH and enrolled this past January.

WIDE RECEIVERS & TIGHT ENDS

Senior wide receiver Neil O’Connor (5-11, 180) had a breakout season in 2017. The consensus All-American and Walter Payton Award finalist led UNH in receptions (97), receiving yards (1,396) and receiving TDs (10), as well as all-pur- pose yards (1,510) and points (60); he averaged 14.4 yards/ reception and 99.7 receiving yards/game.

With those stats, O’Connor ranked No. 3 in the nation in receptions and led the CAA in receptions, receiving yards, receiving yards/

2018 UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE FOOTBALL 12

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 14 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES

2018 SEASON PREVIEW game and receiving TDs. The numbers stacked up favorably in a UNH historical context as well. Only one former Wildcat (R.J. Harris) ever caught more passes in a single season with 100 in 2014. Only two (Harris and David Ball, who did it twice) had more receiving yards in a season. O’Connor returns for his senior year aiming for another impressive season and ready, along with junior Malik Love (5-10, 178) and senior Kieran Presley (6-0, 180), to lead a talented and productive crew of pass catchers at wide receiver and tight end.

“Obviously we’re excited to get Neil back and look to put another great group of skilled guys around him to spread the wealth around,” said UNH assistant Michael Ferzoco, who works with wide receivers and is the pass game coordinator. “I’d love to see him continue to create more explosive plays and do things in the open field. He is a slippery ball carrier and he does some great things.”

O’Connor enters the 2018 season with career numbers of 164 catches for 2,303 yards and 16 TDs The yardage puts him No. 8 on the UNH career list.

Love led the Wildcats in catches with 59 for 520 yards in 2016 and upped his numbers to 70 for 733 yards and three scores last year.

Presley, who missed the first five games last year with an injury and started the final nine contests, had 43 catches for 459 yards and three scores.

Junior Justin Malone-Woods (6-2, 232) leads the group of tight ends.

He has played in 24 games the last two years and started 11 last year with 18 catches for 275 yards and a couple of touchdowns the last two seasons.

Senior John DiCaro (6-2, 237), known more for his run-blocking skills, and sophomore Jack Cavallaro (6-4, 240) are the others in the tight end group.

Sophomore Nick Lorden (6-4, 214) is one of a bunch of receivers vying for playing time. He had a knack for making key catches last year; he caught 12 passes, six of them for touchdowns.

Sophomore C.J. Turner (5-7, 173) played as a true freshman last season and emerged as the top kickoff returner. Sophomore Joey Carroll (511, 181) and redshirt freshman Benyeal Hill, Jr. (6-0, 184) drew praise from coaches this past spring.

Junior Ivan Niyomugabo (6-1, 206) was moved from quarterback to wide receiver last spring. Others in the mix include junior Nick Lubischer (5-10, 193), redshirt freshman Brian Espanet (6-3, 197) and junior Mike Vailas (6-0, 194).

RUNNING BACKS

Trevon Bryant, the second-year captain, gets his long-awaited shot at running back in 2018. Junior Evan Gray (5-10, 227) made the most of his opportunity last season and returns to the backfield. Those two veterans lead a four-man pack at the top of the depth chart at running back. Junior Brandon Gallagher (5-10, 196) and redshirt freshman Car-

los Washington, Jr. (5-10, 204) fill out the rest of the group.

“The good thing is we have different guys for different situations,” running backs coach Casey DeAndrade said. “We have four guys who are different sizes and strengths and hopefully we can pick their strengths and put them in the best opportunities to make plays.”

Bryant (5-8, 182) was expected to be one of the team’s leading ball carriers last season before incurring a knee injury in spring 2017 that knocked him out for the season.

“Mentally and emotionally he’s been our leader,” DeAndrade said. “I think he was a great leader last year as a captain. He’s one of the best leaders I’ve seen since I’ve been here. He’s set himself up to have a really good season this year.”

As a junior in 2016, Bryant averaged six yards a carry – 82 carries for 496 yards – and scored five touchdowns.

Gray rushed for 650 yards (3.6 yards a carry) and scored eight of UNH’s 12 rushing TDs last season. He also caught 20 passes for 135 yards and a score.

“Evan had a great year for us,” DeAndrade said. “He is the real deal when it comes to running backs in the CAA. He does everything. He catches the ball well. He runs the ball well. He ran through some people when he had to, but he can also make people miss.”

Gallagher averaged 5.9 yards per carry and had a breakout game against Tow- son with 12 carries for 104 yards. Washington played on scout teams last year and had a strong spring season.

OFFENSIVE LINE

Senior Dayne Herron and sophomores Jack Carroll and Matt Mascia are the guys up front – the players offensive line coach and run game coordinator Alex Miller will look build the 2018 offensive line around – on offense for the UNH football team.

Herron (6-4, 300) will be a third-year starter. He started all 13 games in which he played last season – all at left tackle. That was a change from the 2016 season, when Herron started the last 10 games of the year at right tackle.

“Dayne’s the anchor,” Miller said. “He’s ideal at tackle, He’s long, he’s athletic, he can move. In our zone run game he’s pretty good. He’s got a lot of experience now.”

Carroll (6-2, 289) started all 14 games last season as a redshirt freshman and Mascia (6-2, 287) started 11 of the 12 he played in before his season was ended by injury.

“They’re both tough,” Miller stated. “They pull well. They’re really strong inside-out, which at the guard position you really like. That’s kind of their skill set.”

Juniors Nick Velte and Noah Robison have also started games for the Wildcats. Velte (6-3, 291) started five games as a redshirt freshman, but was limited to five games played with two starts last season because of

2018 SEASON PREVIEW

injury. Robison (6-6, 282) started the final two games last year.

Redshirt freshmen Patrick Flynn (6-3, 274) and Riley Burns (6-3, 298) had particularly impressive springs. Classmates Curtis Linton, Jr. (6-3, 270) and Cam Rush (6-4, 299) also benefited from getting a lot of repetitions in spring practice. Among others in the mix for playing time are juniors Matt Matulis (6-2, 278) and Jeff Carter (6-4, 285).

DEFENSIVE LINE

Last year, UNH’s defense ranked second in the CAA in sacks, third in pass defense efficiency and first in the red zone. The D-line’s ability to disrupt opposing quarterbacks factored in that success.

Senior Ryan Sosnak (6-2, 290) is the main man in the middle of the defensive line. Sosnak started all 27 Wildcat games the past two seasons and he is the only defensive tackle with starting experience. He had 28 total tackles as a sophomore in 2016 and was up to 35, with six tackles for a loss, last season.

The players around him include sophomores Elijah Lewis (6-1, 278) and Jacob Bradshaw (6-1, 268).

“It’s a group that’s developing,” said assistant coach Peter McCarty, who is in charge of the D-line. “Ryan’s got experience, so he understands blocking schemes and pass protections. He supports and does a great job with the players around him.”

Lewis played in seven games as a true freshman in 2016, but redshirted last year with an injury. Bradshaw played in 13 games last year and had eight tackles, including a sack.

Sophomore Tyreak Richardson (6-3, 305) has moved over from offensive line. Others in the mix at defensive tackle include sophomore Patrick Kaplan (5-11, 261) and freshman Niko Kvietkus (6-3, 264).

Chris Ellis, in his second year working with the defensive ends, has a group led by seniors Jae’Wuan Horton and Kyle Reisert to help the defense turn up the heat on opposing offenses.

Horton (6-2, 244) ranked second on the team – and in the CAA – in sacks last year with 8.5. He also had a team-high four quarterback hurries and forced a couple of fumbles to tie for the lead in that category. Horton’s been a go-to defensive end throughout his career and has started UNH’s last 37 games, dating back to the third game of his redshirt freshman season.

“Jae’Wuan’s been durable,” Ellis said. “He played a lot of snaps last year and I think that benefited him and his development. This is a guy who’s truly deter- mined to make all-conference this year and show what he really can do.”

Reisert (6-2, 247) led the team with 4.5 sacks in 2016, but dealt with injuries last season and was limited to six games. He was named the CAA Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year for 2017.

“His strengths cover every category,” Ellis explained. “He can play the run. In the pass rush he can get after it. He’s kind of a jack of all trades.”

WWW.UNHWILDCATS.COM

Junior Josh Kania started the first two games last season, but missed the rest of the season with an injury. Sophomore Brian Carter stepped up and started six games last year. Both Carter (6-2, 236) and Kania (6-3, 246) are expected to play major roles.

Among the players adding depth at defensive end are junior Robbie Schumacher (6-0, 252) as well as sophomores Riley Ammerman (6-3, 232) and Carson Leary (6-2, 233).

LINEBACKERS

Junior Quinlen Dean piled up tackles and had a breakout season last year, while Kuehl turned in another big-play season despite missing several games because of injury.

Dean and Kuehl, the senior captain, return this year to backbone what may be the strongest unit in what is shaping up as a solid UNH defense. They’re joined by juniors Michael Balsamo and Cameron Brusko along with sophomore Steven Harper and a few younger players.

“It’s a good, talented group,” said linebackers coach Garrett Gillick.

“I’m looking forward to big things with them. I’m excited about the group. They were productive last year and I’m hoping they continue the trend this year.”

Kuehl (6-1, 238) was fourth on the team in tackles two years ago as a sophomore. Dean (6-0, 23) was immense last season and led the team with 124 tackles, 80 unassisted and 44 assisted. The next closest Wildcat had a total of 73 tackles. Dean made big plays as a redshirt freshman in 2016, too, when he had three interceptions and a couple of fumble recoveries to go with 38 tackles.

“They have a nose for the ball,” Gillick said. “It’s a testament to them.

They know what the offense is doing. They understand what we’re expecting from them on a given call and they go out and execute it and put themselves in a position to make plays.”

Dean’s 124 tackles last year were the most by a Wildcat linebacker since 2013, when Akil Anderson had the same number. Dean was fourth in the CAA with 8.9 tackles per game.

Balsamo (6-0, 216), who moved over from one of the safety spots in spring 2017, and Harper each had 31 tackles last season. Balsamo also had 6.5 tackles for a loss and Harper had a pair of interceptions.

Younger players in the mix include redshirt freshmen R.J. Janeczek (6-1, 191) and Kyle Hamper (6-0, 213), sophomore Jackson Housman (6-1, 213) and freshman J.J. Jerome (5-11, 205).

SAFETIES

New safeties coach John Bowes, who was Fordham’s defensive coordinator last year, has a number of young but highly-experienced players in UNH’s secondary.

Juniors Rick Ellison and Pop Lacey have been regular starters in their first two seasons and sophomore Evan Horn started the second half

2018 UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE FOOTBALL 14

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 14 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES

2018 SEASON PREVIEW

of last season.

“They play really hard and it’s easy to coach those guys,” Bowes said.

“And they’re hungry. They want to learn. They want to be good. They want to be one of the best secondaries, not only in the CAA, which is a very difficult league, but in the whole country.”

Ellison (5-11, 197) was third on the team in tackles last season with 43 unassisted and 26 assisted for a total of 69. He returned one of his two interceptions 50 yards for a touchdown to open the scoring in a win over Bryant.

Lacey (6-0, 206) had an outstanding season as a true freshman and started 11 of the team’s 13 games. Last season, injuries limited him to nine games with seven starts. Lacey led the Wildcats in tackles as a freshman (63 unassisted, 19 unassisted for 82) and had a couple of interceptions and a fumble recovery. Last season he had 42 tackles (29 and 13).

Horn (6-0, 201) was second on the team in interceptions with three last fall and had 43 tackles (23-20-43). Horn switched to basketball after the football season ended and played in 14 games with two starts.

Juniors Matt Sherlock and Dean Adams, both listed at 5-11 and 197 pounds, came on strong this past spring and will contribute as backups and on special teams.

Redshirt freshman Pop Bush (6-0, 190) and sophomore Nelson Thomas (5-10, 207), are also in the mix for playing time.

CORNERBACKS

They are the Big 3 of the cornerback position: juniors Isiah Perkins and Prince Smith, Jr., and sophomore Alonzo Addae. Perkins and Smith, Jr. have been mainstays in the defensive backfield for the Wildcats the last couple of seasons, and Addae joined them last year and had more-and-more of an impact as the season progressed.

“Those three guys have played an awful lot for us,” said defensive coordinator John Lyons, who works with the cornerbacks. “There’s a lot of experience there. All three of them are good athletes and showed a lot of improvement through last year. There’s a lot of competition there.”

Perkins started all 14 UNH games last season, Smith started 10 and Addae started the last three at the defense’s two starting cornerback spots. All three were often on the field together in passing situations.

Smith, Jr. (5-10, 177) played as a true freshman in 2016, started 10 games and led the Wildcats with five interceptions – and the CAA with 18 passes defended – en route to being named the conference’s Defensive Rookie of the Year. Last year, he led UNH cornerbacks in tackles with 37 unassisted and 18 assisted for a total of 55.

Perkins (6-0, 191) had five picks last season, including two in the fourth quarter against Rhode Island to help the Wildcats protect a 28-14 win.

Addae (5-11, 186) had 24 assisted and 12 unassisted tackles last season for a total of 36. Addae forced a fumble each of UNH’s two playoff

WWW.UNHWILDCATS.COM

wins last season against Central Connecticut and Central Arkansas. He recovered the fumble he caused against Central Arkansas.

Redshirt freshman Mike Crawford (6-0, 187) is also vying for playing time at cornerback.

SPECIAL TEAMS

The Wildcats look to revamp their kicking game for 2018. Max Pedinoff did the bulk of the punting and Morgan Ellman most of the kicking over the last couple of seasons. Both have graduated.

Junior Drew Sanborn had a productive spring ‘18 season and grabbed the punting job. Sanborn punted eight times in 2017 with a 34.6 per kick average and nine punts in 2016 averaged 38.4 yards per boot.

The kicking spot is a little more open at the moment and the competition for those duties will continue into preseason camp. Sophomore Jason Hughes emerged on top in the spring, but junior Mitch McPike was sidelined and is a candidate as well.

The return game features a group of youngsters. Wide receiver C.J. Turner was inserted into the third game of the 2017 season (at Holy Cross) as a kickoff returner and finished with three returns for 50 yards.

The true freshman was the primary KO return man the rest of the year.

In 12 games, he had 24 returns for 384 yards.

Brandon Gallagher lined up deep alongside Turner on kickoff returns for a majority of the ‘17 season. He had 10 returns for 192 yards, including a team long of 35. In the second round and quarterfinal games of the NCAA playoffs, Gallagher averaged 23.2 yards on seven returns.

Evan Horn was the only Wildcat with a punt return a year ago. He finished with 21 returns for 76 yards, including a long of 17.

BILLINGS, S.D. – Kieran Presley caught seven passes for a career-high 133 yards and a touchdown, but No. 21/20 UNH was ousted from the 2017 NCAA FCS playoffs with Saturday afternoon’s 56-14 loss to No. 6/6 South Dakota State University in a quarterfinal game at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium.

The Wildcats, who advanced to the quarters following wins by Central Connecticut State University (14-0) and No. 3 University of Central Arkansas (21-15), ends the year at 9-5.

Presley’s seven catches mached his personal best and his 75-yard touchdown reception marked the longest catch of his career.

New Hampshire had allowed an average of 17.4 points the past seven games. UNH, which had allowed 29 first-quarter points through 13 games, gave up 21 to South Dakota State.

SDSU received the opening kickoff and quickly took a 7-0 lead on a 6-play, 70-yard drive. After holding UNH to a 3-and-out, the Jackrabbits extended the advantage to 14-0 at 8:36.

The Wildcats’ next drive stalled at the SDSU 43 and the home team proceeded to march 85 yards in 12 plays, capped by a 13-yard run up the middle by Isaac Wallace, to build a 21-0 lead with 56 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

SDSU scored the only points of the second quarter to take a 28-0 lead into halftime.

Then in the third quarter, the teams combined for three touchdowns in a 26-second span. South Dakota State extended the lead to 35-0 on Wallace’s 48-yard run at 4:28.

UNH answered immediately. On the next play from scrimmage, Knight found Presley alone down the right sideline for a 75-yard touchdown to trim the deficit to 35-7 at 4:17. Cade Johnson returned the ensuing kickoff 99 yards for a TD to push the margin to 42-7 at 4:02.

SDSU extended the lead to 49-7 on a 10-yard TD pass from Christion to Wieneke at 9:20.

Trevor Knight broke the school single-season record for pass attempts with 471; the previous benchmark of 447 was set by Bob Jean in 1988. Knight finished third in single-season completions (291).

Knight also finished No. 2 on the single-season passing yards list with 3,433.

Neil O’Connor caught four passes for 38 yards. On UNH’s single-season leaderboard, he finished No. 4 in receiving yards (1,396) and second in receptions (97).

O’Connor climbed into a tie at No. 8 on the list for career receptions with Stephan Lewis (1999-2002) at 164.

This was UNH’s third quarterfinal appearance the past five years. The Wildcats advanced to the semifinals in 2013 and 2014.

This was the first meeting between the New Hampshire and South Dakota State football programs.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 14 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES

THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION CAA Football has established itself as one of the nation’s premier FCS power conferences for more than a decade due to its on-field success, national exposure and the achievements of its student-athletes in the classroom, in the community and at the next level.

James Madison capped an outstanding 2017 season for the conference by reaching the FCS national championship game for the second year in a row. CAA Football sent four programs to the NCAA Division I Football Championship for the fourth straight season and they combined to win six games. In addition to the Dukes’ advancing to the national title game, New Hampshire extended the nation’s longest FCS playoff streak with its 14th straight appearance and advanced to the quarterfinals, while Stony Brook and Elon earned playoff berths for the first time as members of CAA Football. Nine different CAA teams have made the playoffs over the past five years.

CAA Football continued its success against non-conference opponents in 2017, finishing 26-6 against FCS foes and 28-15 overall. The non-conference winning percentage (.813) vs. FCS opponents was the best of any FCS conference. The league posted two victories over FBS competition for the second year in a row as JMU rolled past East Carolina, 34-14, and UNH defeated Georgia Southern, 22-12. CAA Football teams have now recorded 36 wins over FBS opponents in its history.

A strong presence in the national rankings remained another constant for CAA Football in 2017.

JMU finished the year as the #2 team in the country, while UNH, Stony Brook and Elon were also ranked in the final FCS Top 25 polls. All 12 CAA teams were either ranked or receiving votes in the national polls at some point during the 2017 season.

A total of 14 CAA Football players were named to one or more All-America teams in 2017, while nine players and two coaches were selected as finalists for national Player/Coach of the Year awards from STATS. CAA Football continues to provide a path to the next level, with three players selected in the 2018 NFL Draft. The conference has now had multiple players picked in each NFL Draft since 2006.

CAA Football received tremendous broadcast exposure through conference agreements with FOX Sports and CBS Interactive (SportsLive) as well institutional packages with several regional sports networks. In addition, numerous games were distributed on CAA.TV. The CAA’s national appeal was showcased last season when ESPN’s iconic College Gameday show aired live from James Madison on Oct. 14 prior to the Dukes’ conference showdown with Villanova.

CAA Football’s emphasis on its players’ off-the-field achievements was evident again in 2017.

James Madison’s Bryan Schor was the recipient of the Chuck Boone Leadership Award, which honors the player who best embodies the highest standards of leadership, integrity, teamwork and sportsmanship in his academic and athletic pursuits. UNH’s Kyle Reisert was selected as CAA Football’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was honored as a first-team Academic All-American.

Showing a desire to unite behind a common cause, all 12 CAA Football schools partnered with the Be the Match Foundation and its “Get in the Game, Save a Life” program in 2017. Former Villanova coach Andy Talley has been a driving force nationally for the program, which raises awareness of the need for bone marrow donors.

CAA Football has enjoyed a tremendous record in the postseason, earning 102 total playoff berths and at least three in every year since 2006. The league’s 105 all-time wins in the NCAA playoffs are second-most of any FCS conference, and the conference has further established its presence at the national level by placing 13 teams in the national semifinals over the past 12 seasons.

James Madison took home the national championship in 2016 with a 28-14 victory over Youngstown State. It was the third title in the past decade and sixth overall for CAA Football.

The league remains successful beyond the collegiate playing field. CAA Football has had 116 players drafted by NFL franchises dating back to 1948. A total of 38 players have been selected in the draft over the last 13 years, including 2013 Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco of Delaware (18th overall to the Baltimore Ravens in 2008). More than 30 players currently join Flacco on active NFL rosters.

CAA Football’s geographic footprint extends up and down the East Coast, with schools located from Maine to North Carolina. Members include UAlbany, Delaware, Elon, James Madison, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Richmond, Stony Brook, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary. Joe D’Antonio is in his third year as commissioner of CAA Football and the Colonial Athletic Association.

While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years. On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except for football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993. The Atlantic 10 assumed operational control of the conference from 1997-2006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004. With the conference under the CAA Football banner, UAlbany and Stony Brook were welcomed in 2013, followed by Elon in 2014.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 14 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

The University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant college whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. Today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of 13,000+ and a graduate population of 2,400 in addition to 620 full-time faculty members, 86% of whom have earned their doctorate degree.

The University has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space while still maintaining the look and feel of a New England liberal arts college. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 18:1 with 83% of its classes having 50 students or less. UNH offers more than 200 degree programs with 50+ research centers and institutes as well as 570+ study abroad programs available. We don’t just prepare you for the world – we empower you to change it.

UNH hosts international students from 70 countries and boasts a population of students from all 50 states. The University sponsors 20 Division I athletic teams, as well as 31 club sports and 250 student-led organizations, and 15 percent of students are involved in Greek life. There are more than 150 public art performances and exhibits annually on campus, and the dining halls have received national recognition.

We’re a flagship university that hasn’t forgotten its roots: bringing faculty and students together to examine the past, engage with the present and build the future; doing work that contributes to the common good; and serving as a public resource within the borders of our state and way, way beyond.

Research excellence at UNH reaches from the uncharted ocean depths to the edge of our solar system and the Earth we call home. Powered by more than $100 million in competitive external funding, UNH research produces high-impact results that transform lives, solve global challenges and drive economic growth through productive partnerships with communities and businesses.

UNH actively promotes international engagement and cross-cultural understanding. In today’s globalized and interdependent world, studying international affairs and having a transnational perspective are critical for success and have never been more vital -- or valuable. With a dynamic roster of global opportunities, a teaching faculty conducting research worldwide and an increasingly international student body, UNH brings the world to our campuses and UNH to the world.

HISTORY Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher education whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 14 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with Dartmouth College before moving to Durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923.

With more than 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses eight schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of Health and Human Services, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, College of Life Sciences and Agriculture, School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering, Peter T. Paul School of Business and Economics, Carsey School of Public Policy and the Thompson School of Applied Science. At the very heart of the University’s undergraduate studies is the General Education Program. The GEP is a core program with a breadth of academic subjects that aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to understand oneself, others, society and the world.

CAMPUS In the 2000’s, several athletic facilities have received major upgrades and improvements. Most recently, Wildcat Stadium was completed in August 2016 as the new home of the football, men’s soccer and women’s lacrosse teams; the 11,015-seat venue includes skybox seats, suites, press box and concession stands, as well a videoboard. State-of-the-art center-hung videoboards were also installed at the Whittemore Center prior to the 2016-17 hockey season. In September 2001, the University completed a $2.15 million track and field facility.

The Jerry Azumah Performance Center, the strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House, was dedicated July 8, 2003. UNH athletics also added two $1.5 million outdoor artificial fields at Memorial Field and Bremner Field. Lundholm Gymnasium has received some major overhauls, including a new playing surface, new lights, new sound system, new bleacher system, new backboards and new scoreboards. The Paul Sweet Oval has been completely renovated to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture.

The University also continues to upgrade academic buildings. The $37 million Hamilton Smith Hall renovation and expansion was completed in September 2017. The project encompassed 91,000 square feet (26,000 renovated, 65,000 added) and 23 classrooms, six conference rooms, a Great Hall and seven lounge/study areas, two Technology-Enhanced Active Learning classrooms, and new lab spaces.

In 2013, UNH unveiled the new Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics. The $50 million building came is LEED “Gold” certified, a standard of environmentally friendly design and construction. The project was largely funded through private gifts, including a record-setting $25 million gift from alumnus and philanthropist Peter T. Paul, for whom the building is named.

The building has 900 classroom seats with thousands of business and non-business students coming in and out each day. Breakout rooms equipped with video screens and recording equipment provide advanced technology to enhance the way students interact with each other, faculty and members of the business community. Its Great Hall features comfortable seating areas for studying, and an on-site café supplies students with a convenient dining option.

Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University also completed a $52 million renovation of Kingsbury Hall, adding 6,000 square feet of student project space for students in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, as well as a $4.5 million revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the School of Health and Human Services. In addition, the new 120,000 square foot Biological Sciences Building, Rudman Hall and the Spaulding Life Sciences Renovation project now provide state-of-the-art teaching and researching laboratories.

The University also spent $15 million to complete Morse Hall, a science and engineering building as well as $8.2 million to modernize the Memorial Union Building. This revision to the existing student union building consisted of several upgrades including top kitchen and dining facilities, two theaters, student mailboxes, lounges and meeting rooms, as well as additional retail spaces such as the University Bookstore. The University has also completed construction of the new dining facility on Main Street, Holloway Commons, as well as the renovation of the Dimond Library.

Combining the atmosphere of a small New England liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the University of New Hampshire is a place where all students can find or create their own niche and succeed. While the University offers an extremely broad academic base with an inspiring faculty, it also provides students with thousands of opportunities to get involved, either through athletics, campus recreation, student life, or research.

PRESIDENT

THE ADMINISTRATION

James (Jim) W. Dean is the 20th president of the University of New Hampshire, elected unanimously by the University System of New Hampshire Board of Trustees to lead the state’s flagship public university, effective June 30, 2018.

Dean has more than 30 years of experience in public higher education scholarship, research, fundraising and leadership, most recently serving as executive vice chancellor and provost at the University of North Carolina, where he was a professor of organizational behavior. He joined UNC in 1997 as an associate professor of management and was appointed dean of the Kenan-Flagler Business School in 2008 before becoming provost in 2013.

As UNC provost, Dean directed innovative efforts to support academic achievement, enhance retention and graduation rates and reorganize resources to prepare students for success after college. He shared his deep, personal commitment to building a diverse and inclusive university culture throughout his tenure at UNC, from hiring seven new deans to working with student groups on a wide range of issues.

Dean believes that the nation’s public universities must rethink their efforts to better serve the public through teaching, research and engagement, and he adds that UNH is well-positioned to strengthen and even redefine its role as a leading public research university.

As dean of UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, he launched a highly-ranked online MBA program that increased revenue by millions of dollars, and his initiative to identify core values for the business school continues to shape the school 20 years later. As associate dean for executive education, Dean recruited new clients, including the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force, and increased revenue by 60 percent.

At UNH, Dean leads a university that:

• Contributes $1.5 billion to New Hampshire’s economy each year

• Is ranked #1 for safest university town in the country

• Has research instruments on more than 20 satellites orbiting the Earth

• Has raised over $300 million in its largest capital campaign

• Is home to the nation’s leading research center on sexual assault prevention

• Is the nation’s highest rated university for sustainability Dean and his wife, Jan, have two daughters and two grandchildren. He earned his Ph.D. and master’s degrees in Organizational Behavior from Carnegie Mellon University. He received his bachelor’s degree in Psychology from The Catholic University of America.

THE ADMINISTRATION

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

The 2018-19 academic year will mark the 19th year Marty Scarano has served as the director of athletics at the University of New Hampshire. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academic achievements, facility renovations and programmatic advancement being top priorities.

There has been over $45 million in capital improvements since Scarano’s hiring in the summer of 2000. The largest-scale renovation – Wildcat Stadium, a $25 million athletic complex that is home to multiple UNH teams and multi-purposed for other events – was completed in August 2016. The structure, built on the west side of Mooradian Field, offers increased and improved seating, state-of-the-art broadcast capability, concessions and restrooms, as well as a 30’ by 50’ video board. A new synthetic surface was installed in summer 2017. In July 2017, the University announced the approval of a new 3.7M dollar soccer and lacrosse facility that will be built adjacent to Wildcat Stadium on the site of Lewis Field. Phase 1 of this project is currently being undertaken.

In the spring of 2015, UNH finished construction on the $2 million Watkins Center for Student-Athlete Excellence at the Field House for its Division I and Northeast Passage studentathletes, funded entirely by private donations. That fall, the Whittemore Center – home to both ice hockey teams and site of the 2016 Women’s Frozen Four – received a substantial facelift ($1.3 million) in the form of a four-sided, center-hung video board, a high resolution end zone board and LED display band.

Scarano has helped elevate UNH athletics onto the collegiate national stage. To accomplish that goal, the University has taken on the task of hosting many major NCAA championships and that includes the 2017 NCAA Skiing Championships. Also in 2017, UNH hosted the Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regional at the Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester, N.H.) – for the seventh time in 14 years – and assisted Hockey East with the Men’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four at TD Garden (Boston, Mass).

UNH was host of the NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four at the Whittemore Center in 2002, 2005 and 2016. In addition, UNH successfully hosted the 2007 NCAA Skiing Championships in Washington Valley as well as the 2005 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Northeast Regional at the Whittemore Center.

New Hampshire will host another NCAA men’s ice hockey regional in 2019 as well as a women’s gymnastics regional in 2021.

The women’s hockey team played in the first outdoor game in the history of NCAA women’s hockey in 2010 at the Sun Life Frozen Fenway game and defeated Northeastern, while the men’s squad played at Fenway Park in ’12 and ‘17. Football also competed in Colonial Clash games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., in 2010 and 2011; the Wildcats were victorious on both occasions against the University of Massachusetts.

Student-athletes have excelled both in academics and athletics during Scarano’s tenure. In summer 2017, seven UNH teams (men’s cross country, women’s cross country, football, gymnastics, men’s skiing, women’s skiing and women’s track & field) received NCAA Public Recognition for posting a multi-year Academic Progress Rate score in the top 10 percent of their respective sport, and six squads received a perfect score in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate.

UNH has won the America East Academic Cup three consecutive years (2015, 2016, 2017) by recording the highest GPA among all conference student-athletes; the Wildcats placed the highest number of representatives on the America East Fall Academic Honor Roll seven consecutive years and then had the highest percentage of representatives on the Winter/Spring Honor Roll. New Hampshire won four sport-specific Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards in addition to the Female ScholarAthlete of the Year in 2017-18.

UNH had another stellar year of competition in the 2017-18 academic season. The Wildcats placed 71st in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup with a school-record 325 points and the Wildcats were the top-ranked America East school for the fifth consecutive year.

During Scarano’s tenure, UNH teams have made 80 NCAA postseason appearances and captured 27 conference titles. And in the incredible five-year run by Elinor Purrier spanning cross country and both track & field seasons, she was the national champion in the mile at the 2017-18 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championship and was an 11-time All-American. The ski team has competed at the NCAA Championships every year and consistently places among the top 10 in the nation. Gymnastics has also been a model of consistency and with participation in 17 NCAA tournaments. The football program has qualified for the NCAA FCS postseason for a nation-leading 14 consecutive seasons and advanced to the semifinals in both 2013 and 2014. Men’s ice hockey holds a pair of Hockey East titles and has made 11 trips to the NCAA tournament, including Frozen Four appearances in 2002 and 2003. Women’s ice hockey has seen NCAA action five times with two Frozen Four appearances; the squad captured consecutive Hockey East Championships from 2006-09. Volleyball has also made seven NCAA tournament appearances, including four of the last five years, after capturing conference titles in 1998, 2002, 2003, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. The field hockey team captured its second America East crown in three years – and third with Scarano at the helm – in 2013 en route to its third national tournament appearance. Women’s lacrosse has earned a pair of NCAA berths (2004, 2008), one coming after an America East championship victory in 2004.

S TADIUM

In June 2014, the University System of New Hampshire board of trustees approved UNH’s plan to renovate Cowell Stadium as part of its campus master plan. Attendance records were broken the inaugural season of Wildcat Stadium in 2016, only to have those shattered in 2017.

On Sept. 10, 2016, the UNH football team kicked off the inaugural season at Wildcat Stadium with a 39-28 victory against Holy Cross; Dalton Crossan carried the offense with 24 rushes for 199 yards and two TDs in front of 13,242 fans. That record-setting attendance for a UNH home opener was surpassed in 2017, when 15,854 people packed Wildcat Stadium for UNH’s 24-23 victory against arch rival Maine in the inaugural Thursday Night Throwdown; it was the first time the ‘Cats played their home opener on a weeknight.

Wildcat Country broke the home attendance record at Homecoming in 2016 and 2017. On Oct. 1, 2016, a crowd of 21,943 saw New Hampshire defeat William & Mary, 21-12. One year later (Sept. 23, 2017), the Wildcats were 28-14 victors against Rhode Island in front of 22,135 fans.

UNH football has broken the season attendance record each of the first two years in Wildcat Stadium. In the 2016 season, a total of 57,782 fans entered the gates of Wildcat Stadium for an average of 9,630. Those numbers were surpassed in 2017, when attendance reached 66,141 with an average of 11,024.

The foundation of success at home that was built at Cowell Stadium has continued in Wildcat Stadium. UNH has a 10-2 record (83.3 win percentage) that includes 2-0 in postseason games. In the first ever Wildcat Stadium playoff game, UNH defeated Lehigh, 64-21, in an NCAA FCS Division I first round game on Nov. 26, 2016. Last year, the ‘Cats recorded their first postseason shutout with a 14-0 win vs. Central Connecticut State on Nov. 25, 2017.

Construction of Wildcat Stadium began in May 2015 with the demolition of the previous visitor’s bleachers on the west side of Mooradian Field, and the official groundbreaking ceremony was held May 29. Blasting cleared the area in June and concrete was poured for the foundation in July. One month later, the lighting of the stadium was upgraded as one light pole was relocated and another was installed to increase the number to six light poles.

With the football team in San Jose, Calif. for its season opener on Sept. 3, 2015, the first steel beams were raised back in Durham. The last steel beam was installed in October. Construction on the infrastructure continued through winter, and windows were installed for the Service Credit Union Victory Club, suites and top level in March 2016. In the next two months, the bleachers, seats and speakers were installed. The 30x50 foot video board was erected in June and the previous concrete press box on the east concourse was torn down. Wildcat Stadium was completed on schedule in August 2016.

JERRY AZUMAH PERFORMANCE CENTER

As a starting tailback at the University of New Hampshire, Jerry Azumah ‘99 earned a reputation as an unstoppable record-breaker. By the time he graduated from the University and joined the Chicago Bears as a fifth-round draft pick, he had already smashed four NCAA FCS career records and been awarded the Walter Payton Award for his outstanding achievement as the nation’s top offensive player. At the age of 25, he did it again. With a gift to fund the Jerry Azumah Athletic Performance Center, he was the youngest UNH alum on record to give a gift of more than $100,000 to his alma mater. The gift provided funding for the renovation and complete overhaul, including state-of-the-art equipment of the University’s strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House.

The Azumah Performance Center opened in the summer of 2003. The massive workout facility, which was originally 4,000 square feet, grew to over 6,000 square feet during a summer renovation in 2009. The renovated center features 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 18 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines, an additional 15,000 pounds of weights and 1,500 square feet of warmup area.

“His National Football League profile will tell you that Jerry Azumah was 5-11, weighed 195, and played defensive cornerback with the Chicago Bears,” said Marty Scarano, University of New Hampshire athletic director. “What those statistics miss is the size of Jerry Azumah’s heart. We are so proud to have Jerry’s name affiliated with the University of New Hampshire. Jerry was a leader while attending UNH and continues to set a great example as a graduate.”

Azumah is the son of Theophilius and Bertha Azumah, natives of Ghana who settled in Worcester, Mass.

He came to UNH in 1995 as a freshman, majored in sociology, and minored in justice studies.

“My scholarship at UNH allowed me to pursue my interests in the classroom, build a successful college football career and changed my life on every level,” Azumah said. “I’m pleased to be able to make a major contribution to my university and to bring new opportunities to today’s student-athletes.”

During his four years at UNH, Azumah was an All-American tailback and has been referred to as a player who comes along once in a coach’s lifetime by former UNH football coach Bill Bowes. He set numerous school records, including the record for touchdowns rushing (60) and overall TDs (69), and FCS records for rushing yards (6,193), all-purpose yards (8,376) and points scored (424). He had the six best – and eight of the top 10 – UNH rushing games ever and set the all-time FCS rushing record of 6,193 yards. At that time, he was the only runner in FCS history to have four 1,000-yard seasons.

Azumah is one of the only players in the history of the NFL to make the transition from offense to being a starting cornerback. In 2003, he became the first Wildcat to ever play in the Pro Bowl, where he excelled as a return specialist. He was a full-time starter at cornerback from 2001 through 2005 and made significant contributions on defense. Azumah holds the distinction of being the last Chicago Bear to score a touchdown at Soldier Field when he intercepted Donovan McNabb in a divisional playoff game versus the Philadelphia Eagles and ran 39 yards for a touchdown Jan. 19, 2002. The play gave the Bears a 14-13 lead in the third quarter.

Azumah announced his retirement from NFL football in 2006 due to injuries, but he continues to keep in touch with his alma mater and is always looking for new ways he can help the University, the athletic department and the Wildcat football program.

The James H. “Red” Hayes Locker Room

Solely for the use of the football players and staff is the James H. “Red” Hayes Football Locker Room, located on the bottom level of the Field House adjacent to Wildcat Stadium. Constructed in 1988, the locker room was a gift of Red Hayes (‘32), a former Wildcat player under legendary coach William Cowell who went on to a successful business career and gave distinguished service to the State of New Hampshire. The locker room features 110 separate lockers that accommodate each player’s equipment and uniform, as well as a players’ lounge adjacent to the locker area.

Locker room renovations during the summer of 2012 led to the installation of a new lighting system, the addition of a 55-inch flat screen TV and Fathead-designed murals (pictured right) featuring historical Wildcat moments. The Brice-Cowell Musket (below), which goes to the winner of the annual UNH-Maine gridiron battle, resides on the wall of the locker room. A locker memorial for Todd Walker was added in honor of the former Wildcat who suffered an untimely and heroic death in March 2011 while protecting a female friend.

The locker room received another facelift in summer 2017.
