2015 WILKES FOOTBALL Head Coach - Trey Brown Trey Brown begins his second season at the helm of the Wilkes football program following his hiring prior to the 2014 season. In just one year, Brown coached six Colonels who earned All-MAC honors including first team tight end Jeremy Hartman. Under Brown’s guidance, the Colonels offense ranked in the top five in several offensive statistical categories including passing yards and plays per-game. In a game at Delaware Valley in 2014, the Wilkes offense ran 113 plays, a Division III regulation game record.
Brown came to Wilkes after four years serving as the quarterbacks and special teams’ coordinator at Muhlenberg. In his role with the Mules, Brown was responsible for coaching the quarterbacks, wide receivers, and special teams as well as the installation of the pass game.
While at Muhlenberg the Mules offense averaged over 417 yards of offense per-game and over 37 points per-contest under the passing attack of Brown. He coached the 2013 Centennial Conference Freshman of the Year in quarterback Nick Palladino as well as mentoring the third most prolific passer in career yardage (5,000 passing yards and 1,200 rushing yards) in conference history in Dan Deighan.
Prior to his time at Muhlenberg, Brown spent four seasons as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Lehigh University. The Mountain Hawk offense scored 30 or more points 15 times during his tenure and led the Patriot League in scoring in 2006, when its quarterback was named to the All-Patriot League first team.
Brown coordinated an offense that averaged 32.3 points in league games in 2008 and 27.3 points in 2009. Lehigh scored more than 80 percent of the time it reached the Red Zone both seasons, including a Patriot League-best 87.9-per- cent efficiency in 2008.
Before coming to the Lehigh Valley, Brown spent one year with the tight ends and four with the wide receivers at the University of Pennsylvania, where he coached the two most prolific receivers in program history. The Quakers were a combined 40-9 during Brown’s stint and won Ivy League championships in 2002 and 2003, scoring over 40 points per-game on offense.
Prior to his arrival at Penn, Brown spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Stanford University. Brown was part of the 1999 staff named the coaching staff of the year by the Pacific-10 conference after that squad captured a Pac 10 title. The Cardinal boasted an offense that was recognized in the top 10 nationally, and the team appeared in the 2000 Rose Bowl.
A native of Longmont, Colorado, Brown earned his bachelor’s in Marketing from the University of Colo- rado in 1993 before earning his master’s degree in Health and Physical Education and Recreation from Saint Mary’s College of California in 2003.
Brown became the eighth head coach since the startup of the program in 1946 (69 years).

2015 Wilkes Season Preview Wilkes University football ushered in a new era last season as head coach Trey Brown took over the Colonel program in 2014 making his mark on both sides of the ball. After an eventful first season that saw its share of ups and downs, the Colonels look to build on the experience gained last year perfecting Brown’s new style of up-tem- po, high octane offense and aggressive defense.
Wilkes finished 2014 with a 2-8 overall mark standing 2-7 in Middle Atlantic Conference play. Although the record may not have reflected it, the Colonels were in all but three of those defeats, including trailing by seven or less in five contests late in the fourth quarter. Coach Brown hopes the experience of those situations will prove beneficial in the year ahead. “We need to keep games close heading into the fourth quarter to give ourselves a shot at making those game-changing plays that just didn’t go our way last season,” Brown said. “We have the playmakers and toughness up front on both sides of the ball to make that special play in every close game that is the decider”.
The MAC continues to be one of the toughest conferences in Division III, and with a non-league game against a top-25 contender in Muhlenberg, it’s no surprise that Wilkes ranks in the top 60 in all of Division III in toughest schedules.
Brown is excited about the core group of returners who now have a year experience under their belt with the new mentor at the helm. Add in a talented and deep freshman class, and the Colonels look poised to take a step up in the MAC standings.
Included is an in-depth look at the squad, position-by-position heading into the final week before the regular season begins.
OFFENSE When Brown took over at Wilkes, he brought a high-octane style of offense and it showed from day one as evidenced by the Colonels 22.4 points per-game and 238.5 yards passing per-contest. Prior to 2014, Wilkes was known more for their grind it out style of play usually topping the league in rushing attempts and yards. With the spread offense in place, Brown revitalized the passing game which included more big yardage plays down the field. With a second-year starter at quarterback and top receiver and running back returning from last season, Wilkes should again be at or near the top of the MAC in all offensive statistical categories going forward.
2015 WILKES FOOTBALL 2015 Wilkes Season Preview
QUARTERBACK Second-year starter Ryan Dailey (Easton, PA/Wilson) returns under center to lead the Wilkes offense in his junior season. After barely playing as a freshman, Dailey emerged as the starter during camp last year and progressed as a signal caller throughout the season. He threw for 2,179 yards and 13 touchdowns going 195-for- 362 through the air. The 2,179 yards were the most by a Colonels quarterback in the last ten seasons. His consistency will be vital in leading the offense down the field in 2015. “Ryan has over 800 snaps under his belt with our style of offense and must perform on a consistent basis for us to be successful,” Brown stated.
Marcellus Hayes (Camp Hill, PA/Camp Hill) will serve as the backup signal caller with the ability to both throw and run. Hayes could see time in special situations this season under center. Sophomore Tyler Wombough (Croydon, PA/ Neshaminy) and freshman Giuseppe Durso (Cape May, NJ/Middle Twp.) round out the quarterback quartet for Wilkes this season. RUNNING BACK Wilkes continues to reload with talented running backs and this year proves no different as the position is the deepest on the offense. PJ Incremona (Wood Ridge, NJ/Wood Ridge) returns as the top back after leading the team in 2014 with 306 yards and seven touchdowns. Incremona rushed for over 30.6 yards per-game in a pass heavy offense. He figures to carry most of the load in the backfield, but don’t be surprised to see coach Brown use a plethora of fresh bod- ies at the spot in certain downs and distances.
“We are very deep at running back with six guys who can play and play valuable snaps,” Brown said. “The future is very bright for Wilkes at this position because of the mix of upperclassmen with experience and extremely talented freshmen,” he added.
Sophomores Dustin Jones (Dallas, PA/Lake Lehman), Brandon Latierno (Upper Saddle River, NJ/Northern Highlands Regional) and Tyler Derby (Coopersburg, PA/Southern Lehigh), and freshmen Devon Fink (Pott- stown, PA/Pottsgrove), Sharrdan Long and Jacob Kadis (Westminster, MD/Delone Catholic) will all vie for time in the backfield for Wilkes this year.
WIDE RECEIVER/TIGHT END Graduation hit the outside hard as Wilkes said goodbye to four of its top five receivers and top tight end from a season ago. One key return who is back is William Deemer (Washington Township, NJ/Warren Hills), who enjoyed a breakout sophomore season in 2014. Deemer proved to be one of the toughest matchup on the perim- eter in the MAC hauling in 36 passes for 480 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged over 48.0 yards per game receiving playing in multiple spots in the Wilkes spread formations. Sophomore Ryan Richards (Plainsboro, NJ/Jersey Coast Prep) and junior Nick Brady (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ/ Bergen Catholic) will man the other two wide receiver spots having seen limited action last season. Both can run the deep route or work inside the hash marks in short distance throws. The duo combined for five catches for 25 yards last year. Other players vying for time at wide receiver include Kevin Russoniello (Branchburg, NJ/ Somerville), Aaron Coyne (Springfield, PA/Springfield), Zach Bogoly (Easton, PA/Wilson Area), Aidan Brosious (Wernersville, PA/Conrad Weiser), Trevor Wilson (Jamaica, NY/Monsignor), Jared Novitski (Lehman, PA/Lake Lehman), Brett Ribellino (Jackson, NJ/Jackson Liberty) and Isaiah Hinton-Gray (Allentown, PA/William Allen).
2015 WILKES FOOTBALL 2015 Wilkes Season Preview
The tight end spot took a major hit with First Team All-MAC selection Jeremy Hartman (Little Egg Harbor/ Pinelands Regional) graduating and moving to the Colonel coaching staff. Looking to fill Hartman’s shoes is sophomore Garrett Armstrong (Hampton, NJ/Kittatinny). At 6-3, 195, Armstrong possess the size and skills to excel in the Colonels aerial attack as well as provide sound blocking in the run game. Newcomers Steven Whelan (Upper Deerfield, NJ/Cumberland Regional) and Mike D’Anjolell (Newtown Square, PA/St. Joseph’s Prep) will also see time at the position.
OFFENSIVE LINE The offensive line is filled with a lot of familiar faces and will be led by junior center Ryan Dupre (Allentown, PA/Parkland) and senior right tackle Cliff Francis (Wilkes-Barre, PA/Coughlin), both two-year starters. Dupre’s season was cut short due to injury last year while Francis was a mainstay on the line playing in eight of the ten games a season ago.
Senior Lucas Amarose (Atlas, PA/Mt. Carmel) will man the left tackle spot and sophomore Ryan Bowman (Hanover, PA/Hanover) will serve as the left guard to complete the Colonels left side. Junior FJ Constantino, who played the center position as a freshman, will start at right guard. Adding depth to the line will be Matthew Helwig (Hanover, PA/Southwestern), Britton Knosp (Muhlenberg, PA/Muhlenberg), Nicholas Rhinesmith (Cape May Court House, NJ/Middle Township), Christopher Thomas (Stanhope, NJ/ Lenape Valley), Kyle Troch (Lehighton, PA/Lehighton), Anthony Dex (Coplay, PA/Whitehall), Stephen Kovacic (Conshohocken, PA/Plymouth-Whitemarsh), Mason Carl (Red Lion, PA/York County Tech) and Joshua King (Troxelville, PA/Mid-West).
DEFENSE Similar to the offense, the Wilkes defense was in a learning year last season with the new leadership of defensive coordinator Cole Glennon and his aggressive, high pressure blitzing packages. Seven starters return to the unit with all but two seeing time on the field a season ago. Playing with three down linemen and four linebackers, the Wilkes defense did have success creating 14 turnovers and collecting 25.5 total sacks throughout the 2014 season.
Much of the aggressive style will remain the same and with the experience back at all three levels of the defense, Wilkes should improve on all of its team statistical categories in the MAC leading to opposing teams leaving the field after three plays. DEFENISVE LINE Wilkes boasts two of the best defensive ends in the MAC with the return of Michael Fitz (Phillipsburg, NJ/ Phillipsburg) and Jason Ugwu (Collegeville, PA/Perkiomen Valley). Ugwu earned his second straight All-MAC Honorable Mention selection last season and is poised for a stellar senior year in 2015. He finished with 31 total tackles (22 solo and nine assisted) while finishing second on the team with 3.5 sacks and 9.0 tackles-for-loss. His size and speed creates havoc for opposing tackles.
Fitz was just as impressive as a sophomore last season posting 20 total stops (12 solo and eight assisted) while finishing with 2.0 sacks and 5.5 tackles-for-loss. The duo also combined for three forced fumbles.
Dominick Ammirato (Effort, PA/Pleasant Valley) will man the middle of the defensive front playing at nose guard. Ammirato posted 18 total tackles (12 solo and six assisted) with 2.0 sacks last season. Richmond Owusua (Annville, PA/Annville-Cleona), David Bernhart (Mahwah, NJ/Mahwah) and Robert Moyer (Coopersburg, PA/ Southern Lehigh) will add depth to the defensive front three for Wilkes.
2015 WILKES FOOTBALL 2015 Wilkes Season Preview
LINEBACKER Another talented and deep position on the defense, Wilkes returns two of four starters from last year to their linebacker core. Second Team All-MAC selection Tanner Stengel (Allentown, PA/Parkland) returns to lead the unit after a breakout sophomore season. Stengel showed his promise on the Colonels defense finishing the season as the league’s top tackler with 102 total stops in ten games played. He averaged over 10.2 tackles per-game while recording 10.0 tackles-for-loss and 3.0 sacks from his inside linebacker position.
Senior Michael Paskas (Rutherford, NJ/Rutherford) is back to man the other inside linebacker spot following a junior year where he finished with 33 total tackles including 23 solo and ten assisted stops. He also got it done in pass coverage posting three pass break ups.
Anthony Trotta (Old Forge, PA/Old Forge), Kyle Belle (North Plainfield, NJ/North Plainfield), Lukas Wood (Quakertown, PA/Quakertown) and Jordan Stiles (Camp Hill, PA/Cedar Cliff) will all vie for time at the two other linebacker spots in the middle of the Wilkes defense.
SECONDARY Wilkes is steadied in the secondary thanks to its two returning starters at safety in Jared Powell (Easton, PA/Easton) and Isaiah Robinson (Pittsburgh, PA/ Milton Hershey). Powell was a playmaker on the defense all season last year finishing with 53 total tackles, 36 solo and 17 assisted, and a team-high three interceptions. Robinson was just as impressive as a rookie a year ago, starting in all ten games making 36 total tackles including 26 solo stops.
The corner position may be the biggest question mark on the defense as both corners from a year ago are gone. Ondre Roberts (Dunellen, NJ/Dunellen) and Tyheed Jackson (Horsham, PA/Hatboro Horsham), both upperclassmen, have emerged out of camp as the starters. Rookies River Johnson (Malvern, PA/Great Valley) and Neojoe Lughas (Plainfield, NJ/Plainfield) are both talented in pass coverage and will see time at the spots as well in their first seasons.
Michael Murphy (Boyertown, PA/Boyertown) and Michael Legg (Whitehaven, PA/Crestwood) will also vie for time as reserve players at both safety positions in the Colonel secondary.
SPECIAL TEAMS Bryan Mellon (Pottsville, PA/Nativity B.V.M.) returns as the Colonels punter and will assume kicking duties in 2015. Carl Van Glahn will serve as Mellon’s backup.
Wood and Whelan will provide the long and short snapping services for Wilkes. Wood will serve as the long distance snapper and Whalen as a short snapping specialist.

2015 WILKES FOOTBALL The Middle Atlantic Conference The MAC (Middle Atlantic Conferences) was organized on December 11, 1912 as a loose confederation of colleges. The first annual meeting occurred on May 16, 1913, followed by the first conference track meet at Lafayette College the next day. The Middle Atlantic Collegiate Wrestling Association, formed in March 1925, was the first to name a Middle Atlantic Champion. In 1952 the conference unified and recognized competition in all sports. Many of the universities left the conference in 1974 when the NCAA created Divisions I, II, and III. The MAC added women’s athletics in 1978.
Major changes occurred in 1993. Ten schools left to form their own association; their departure served as a catalyst for the remaining sixteen schools to form a streamlined, efficient, dual-league organization. This “new look” was part of a national movement to consoli- date similar institutions for competitive athletic opportunities while increasing presidential involvement in the setting of athletic policy. In 1999, spurred by changes in the NCAA championship structure, the MAC formed as an umbrella for three conferences - Freedom, Commonwealth, and Middle Atlantic.
Current members are Albright College, Alvernia University, Arcadia University, Delaware Valley University, DeSales University, Eastern University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, the College at Florham, Hood College, King’s College, Lebanon Valley College, Lycom- ing College, Manhattanville College, Messiah College, Misericordia University, Stevenson University, Widener University, and Wilkes University.
Currently, the MAC sponsors competition in eleven men’s sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track and field, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, tennis, and outdoor track and field. The eleven women’s sports are: basketball, cross country, field hockey, indoor track and field, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, outdoor track and field, and volleyball.
