@REDBIRDFB #BACKTHEBIRDS • 1 IILLINOISLLINOIS STATESTATE UNIVERSITYUNIVERSITY

Founded in 1857, Illinois State University was the fi rst public university in the state and is one of the Midwest’s oldest institutions of higher education. It is a residential university that emphasizes undergraduate study. Abraham Lincoln drew up the legal documents to establish the university. The original name of the school was Illinois State Normal University, refl ective of its primary mission as a teacher training institution (at that time called a normal school). In 1964, as the institution began expanding and moving toward a full liberal arts curriculum, its name was changed, fi rst to Illinois State University at Normal, and then by 1968 to Illinois State University. Teaching is at the root of Illinois State’s heritage and that tradition grows through the efforts of the outstanding faculty in all six of Illinois State’s colleges. More than 92 percent of Illinois State’s classes are taught by full-time faculty, most of whom have the highest degree in their academic area. Illinois State is located in the twin-city community of Bloomington-Normal, and is centrally located 137 miles southwest of Chicago, 164 miles northeast of St. Louis and 178 miles west of Indianapolis. Interstate highways 74, 55, and 39, U.S. Route 150, and Illinois Route 9 intersect in Bloomington- Normal, creating a transportation hub. An Amtrak passenger station is just two blocks from the University, and the local airport is served by fi ve scheduled airlines, one charter air service and three rental car agencies.

It was the fi rst intra-conference match up in the FCS title game since the NCAA began conducting one in 1978. • During the 2014 season, the league demonstrated its superiority as eight different MVFC teams achieved a top-25 ranking. • Last year, MVFC teams combined for a 30-2 non-conference record against FCS teams, and the league also had two wins against FBS teams (Iowa State and Ball State). The league also set a conference record by going 11-2 against non-conference top-25 teams. Despite tough scheduling, seven teams in the conference had winning records, setting an all-time high for a season. • Five league teams (Illinois State, Indiana State, North Dakota State, UNI and South Dakota State) represented the conference in the 2014 FCS playoffs, marking the 20th-straight season in which multiple teams have participated in post-season play.

@REDBIRDFB #BACKTHEBIRDS • 27 22015015 PPOSITIONOSITION BREAKDOWNSBREAKDOWNS QUARTERBACKS ► Senior Tre Roberson returns to lead the Redbird offense and has several promising teammates with him to back up as needed. ► The 2014 MVFC Newcomer of the Year made an immediate impact after transferring from Indiana, leading the Redbirds to a 13-2 record, a conference championship and a spot in the FCS National Championship. ► Roberson set nine school records along the way and was dangerous through the air and on the ground. The signal-caller passed for 3,221 yards and 30 touchdowns through the air and set a new standard for dual-threat quarterbacks with a school-record 1,029 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground. ► Peaking late in the season, Roberson saved his best performances for last. Over the Redbirds four-game playoff run, Roberson completed 63.1 percent of his passes and threw for 1,023 yards and nine touchdowns while throwing just one interceptions in 111 attempts. He also averaged 88 yards per game on the ground and had huge touchdown runs against New Hampshire and North Dakota State. ► Highly-touted redshirt freshman Jake Kolbe returns for his second season and will be the backup behind Roberson. The 2014 Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year, Kolbe impressed coaches, teammates and fans alike with his physical attributes and leadership abilities and should see a significant amount of snaps in the preseason for the Redbirds. ► True freshmen Hasan Muhammad-Rogers and DeMarco Washington were part of a talented signing class and each will have a lot to learn behind center in what figures to QQUARTERBACKSUARTERBACKS be a redshirt season for each.

RUNNING BACKS ► All-American Marshaun Coprich returns for his senior season, looking to improve on his gaudy numbers from the record-setting 2014. ► The 2014 Missouri Valley Football Conference Offensive Player of the Year, Coprich fi nished fi fth in the voting for the Walter Payton Award, which is given to the top player in FCS Football. The Victorville, Calif., native led all FCS players with 2,274 yards and 27 touchdowns on the ground last season. ► “Young Bull” rushed for 151.6 yards per game, which ranked second in the country, and he set seven school single-season records. He is just one touchdown and 473 yards away from becoming the school’s all-time rushing leader in each category. ► Jamal Towns and James Graham return as the team’s only other backs to carry the ball in 2014. Towns moved between the slot wide receiver position and running back throughout the year, but served as the primary backup throughout the championship run for the Redbirds. ► Towns rushed for 47 yards on 17 carries on the season, while Graham rushed for 127 yards on 26 carries in seven games for the Redbirds. Towns, though small in stature, brings quickness and elusiveness to the group, while Graham is more of a power back with a lot of potential. ► George Moreira was redshirted in 2014, and will look to add his name to those who can spell Coprich. The Louisiana native rushed for 1,923 rushing yards on 197 carries (9.8 RRUNNINGUNNING BACKSBACKS yards per carry average), while scoring 22 MARSHAUN COPRICH, SR. touchdowns on the ground during his high JAMAL TOWNS, JR. school career. ► True freshman DeMarco Corbin is a big, JAMES GRAHAM, RS SO. power back that could push for playing time NICK KIELBASA, SO. and Nick Kielbasa returns to add depth to GEORGE MOREIRA, RS FR. MMARSHAUNARSHAUN COPRICHCOPRICH the running back stable. DEMARCO CORBIN, FR.

2015 ILLINOIS STATE REDBIRD FOOTBALL • 28 22015015 PPOSITIONOSITION BREAKDOWNSBREAKDOWNS WIDE RECEIVERS ► The 2015 receiving corps will be a talented, but inexperienced group after the loss of the team’s top two receivers from last season in 1,000-yard receivers Cameron Meredith and Lechein Neblett. ► Junior Anthony Warrum brings the most experience as a two-year letterwinner at the position. Warrum fi nished the season with 17 receptions for 226 yards and two touchdowns, but had some big catches during the playoffs and has impressed during the offseason. ► It took until game 15 of the season, but Jon-Marc Anderson leapt onto the national stage when he caught the fi rst touchdown in the 2015 FCS National Championship against North Dakota State. The sophomore ended the season with 15 catches for 218 yards, but showed big-play abilitiy with an average of 14.5 yards per catch on the year. ► Sophomore Christian Gibbs saw action as a true freshman last season, mostly on special teams, but will be looked upon to step up and fi ll a role at one of the outside receiver positions. ► Redshirt freshmen Mitchell Brees, Matt Biegalski and Nick Griffi th did not see game action last year. Brees moved to the position in the spring after starting his career as a defensive back at ISU and WWIDEIDE RECEIVERSRECEIVERS Biegalski’s long arms and sturdy frame should also ANTHONY WARRUM, JR. give the Redbird quarterbacks a big target to throw JON-MARC ANDERSON, SO. to. Griffi th will miss the beginning of the season due to an achilles injury, but should be ready to ANTHONY FOWLER, SO.-TR contribute during the conference portion of the CHRISTIAN GIBBS, SO. schedule. ANDY MILLS, SO. ► Sophomore JJ Stahl also returns and should be JJ STAHL, SO. a help on special teams and add depth to the position. MATT BIEGALSKI, RS FR. ► Junior college transfer Anthony Fowler is the MITCHELL BREES, RS FR. newest member of the group, and brings a NICK GRIFFITH, RS FR. tremendous amount of speed with him. ► True freshmen Michael Kolzow, Bryce Jefferson JEREMY BIVENS, FR. and Jeremy Bivens will each vie for playing time BRYCE JEFFERSON, FR. JJON-MARCON-MARC ANDERSONANDERSON as well, but could be key candidates to redshirt in MICHAEL KOLZOW, FR. 2015.

TIGHT ENDS / H-BACKS ► The Redbirds will have to replace fi fth-round NFL draft pick and three-year starter James O’Shaughnessy at tight end. The current Kansas City Chief was the team’s third-leading receiver with 29 catches for 544 yards and tied for the team lead with nine touchdowns. ► Sophomore Michael Clements was the only other returning tight end to catch a pass during the 2014 season. Clements played in fi ve games and caught a pair of passes for 29 yards on the season. ► A pair of redshirt freshmen also return at tight end in Tylor Petkovich and Brannon Barry. Petkovich has stood out throughout camp and looks to be the frontrunner to start on Sept. 5 at Iowa. Barry was recruited to Illinois State as a wide receiver, but has bulked up and moved in to the tight end spot to add some depth and athleticism to the unit. ► The fullback/H-back group brings back a pair of players that played in every game last season in Brady Tibbits and second-team All-MVFC selection Bryce Holm. ► Tibbits was the lead back for Marshaun Coprich and also got involved in the passing game on the goal line. He scored a three-yard touchdown on his only carry of the season in the FCS playoff quarterfi nal win at Eastern Washington. ► Holm was a special teams standout who was also used in short-yardage situations for the Redbirds in 2014. He carried the ball fi ve times for 15 yards, with two touchdowns on the season, which earned him more carries in the spring and could lead to more opportunities to touch the ball in 2015. ► Junior John Nicholson returns for his fourth season and brings a wealth of experience with him at the tight end/H-back spot. ► True freshman Jake Hendershot is the youngest TTIGHTIGHT ENDSENDS / H-BACKSH-BACKS of the group, but brings a lot of talent to the position. He accounted for 35 total touchdowns in JOHN NICHOLSON, JR., TE/HB his fi nal prep season in Missouri.

@REDBIRDFB #BACKTHEBIRDS • 29 22015015 PPOSITIONOSITION BREAKDOWNSBREAKDOWNS OFFENSIVE LINEMEN ► The offensive line was a key reason why the Redbirds advanced to the FCS Championship last season, and with three spots left open due to graduation the unit will have a lot to work on headed into 2015. ► Junior center Mark Spelman anchors the group and has the most game action under his belt headed into the season. A starter in all 15 games at center last year, Spelman was a key member of the offensive line unit that led the way for Marshaun Coprich, who led the FCS and the MVFC in rushing yards (2,274) and rushing touchdowns (27). ► Fellow junior and returning starter Kyle Avaloy started every game for the Redbirds in 2014 and will look to bolster the interior of the line along with Spelman. A tenacious run blocker, Avaloy was instrumental in helping Coprich rush for over 100 yards in 14 out of 15 games, setting a school and league mark for OOFFENSIVEFFENSIVE LINEMENLINEMEN consecutive 100-plus yard games. ► The three open spots on the offensive line are CAMDEN COOPER, SR., G/T set to be fi lled by juniors Dan Pawlak and Ryan KYLE AVALOY, JR., G Gelber and sophomore Cameron Lee. Despite a RYAN GELBER, JR., T lack of game experience, the trio has a lot of time DAN PAWLAK, JR., T in the system under its belt. ► Pawlak saw action in 11 games for the Redbirds MARK SPELMAN, JR., C and came in during big sets for the offense. NICK FISH, SO., G/T Gelber played in fi ve games and Lee played in 13 GEORGE HOSELTON, SO., G games in 2014 for the Redbirds. DEAN HELT, SO., G/T ► The second-team unit of Tyler Brown, George Hoselton, Nick Fish, Camden Cooper and Chad CAMERON LEE, SO., G Kanugh will be at the ready for the Redbirds. TYLER BROWN, RS FR., C ► Former defensive lineman Dean Helt has been ALEC DIAB, RS FR., T moved to the offensive line and will work his way into the position slowly. CHAD KANUGH, RS FR., G/T ► Redshirt freshman Alec Diab also returns and ERIK MIKKELSON, FR., G should add to the depth at the tackle position and JARED RIENTS, FR., G MMARKARK SPELMANSPELMAN true freshman Erik Mikkelson, Jared Rients and MARC MILLER, FR., G Marc Miller will most likely redshirt.

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN ► With two starters returning and several key reserves coming back, the defensive front may be the deepest its been in recent memory. Led by preseason All-American Teddy Corwin and senior David “Boom” Perkins, the front will set the tone for the entire Redbird defense. ► Corwin, a 2014 All-MVFC First-Team selection, ranked second on the team with a career-high 98 tackles (50 solo, 48 assist) in 2014 and led the team with 12.5 tackles-for-loss to go along with 7.5 sacks. A former tight end, Corwin also showed great ball skills by picking off three passes during the season. ► Beginning his third season with the Redbirds after transferring from Ohio State, Perkins ranked second on the team with eight sacks and added 12 tackles-for-loss last season. He will be looked upon to be a big force as a pass rusher for the Redbirds on the outside. ► Sophomore tackles Dalton Keene and Adam Conley each return to man the inside tackle DDEFENSIVEEFENSIVE LINEMENLINEMEN positions and have a lot of upside in the interior of the defensive front. Keene recorded 29 stops and TEDDY CORWIN, SR., DE 2.5 tackles-for-loss as a redshirt freshman and DAVID PERKINS, SR., DE Conley played in four games for the Redbirds last season, after returning from an off-season knee ADAM PITTSER, SR., DT injury. ADAM CONLEY, S0., DT ► Former backup quarterback Adam Pittser has DALTON KEENE, SO., DT bulked up and made the move to the defensive DAVID KENNEY, SO. TR, DE line, and will use his strength and athleticism to see if he can help up front. MATT MCCOWN, SO., DT ► Indiana transfer David Kenney was added to the MATT SWAINE, RS FR., DE group at defensive end to work with Perkins to BLAKE HOOPER, RS FR., DT disrupt opponent’s passing attacks. He should be a fi xture in the rotation outside as the season NATHAN ILOILO, RS FR., DT progresses. DAEJGEON LOVE, RS FR., DE ► Sophomore Matt McCown and redshirt freshman DONAVIN O’DAY, RS FR., DE Nathan Iloilo also return to add depth at the JASON HARRIS, FR., DE TTEDDYEDDY CORWINCORWIN tackle position along with fellow redshirt freshman Blake Hooper. JOSH SROMOVSKY, FR., DE

2015 ILLINOIS STATE REDBIRD FOOTBALL • 30 22015015 PPOSITIONOSITION BREAKDOWNSBREAKDOWNS LINEBACKERS ► The top three linebackers returning have played a lot in their careers, and the players behind them have a lot of experience as well. ► Senior middle linebacker and preseason All-American Pat Meehan is the captain of the defense and will be responsible for play-calling and checks on defense. A 2014 All-MVFC First-Team selection, Meehan led the team with 115 tackles and ranked No. 10 in the MVFC with an average of 7.7 tackles per game in 2014 and will look to end his career on a high note. ► Fellow senior Alex Donnelly has the most experience among the group with 39 games under his belt at outside linebacker. He and Meehan have played side-by-side for three season and his career-high 85 tackles in 2014 showed he can be a playmaker on defense. ► At the other outside linebacker position, junior Alejandro Rivera looks to be the frontrunner to start the season. Rivera was a key contributor on special teams last season and fi nished the year with 10 total stops. ► Junior Brent Spack and sophomore Jalen Battle LLINEBACKERSINEBACKERS return in the second unit, each with extensive playing experience both on special teams and in PAT MEEHAN, SR., MLB the fi eld of play. Spack is the backup at middle ALEX DONNELLY, SR., OLB linebacker, but started games earlier in his career ALEJANDRO RIVERA, JR., OLB at outside linebacker. ► Iowa transfer Reggie Spearman will also look to BRENT SPACK, JR., MLB crack the starting lineup as the season progresses REGGIE SPEARMAN, JR. TR, OLB at the outside linebacker position. Spearman JALEN BATTLE, SO., OLB played in 21 games over two seasons with the MICHAEL GANZER, RS FR., OLB Hawkeyes, with 49 total tackles to his credit. ► Redshirt freshmen Jordan Williams and Michael KOTY THELEN, RS FR., OLB Ganzer will also return looking to make a STANLEY BRANCH, RS FR., OLB difference on the fi eld. JORDAN WILLIAMS, RS FR., MLB ► The talented duo of true freshmen in Decxavier Kelly-Martin and Tuvone Clark will learn from TUVONE CLARK, FR., OLB PPATAT MEEHANMEEHAN those ahead of them and will most likely redshirt. DECXAVIER KELLY-MARTIN, FR., OLB

DEFENSIVE BACKS / SAFETIES ► Senior defensive back Josh Burch leads the group with a wealth of experience behind him. A three- year letterwinner, Burch started the final five games of the season in 2014 and finished the season with 19 tackles, 15 of which were solo stops, and was credited with five pass breakups. ► A trio of talented sophomores will be looked upon to fill the other remaining roles in the starting secondary in Davontae Harris, DraShane Glass and Alec Kocour. ► Harris should start at the other cornerback position and played in 14 games as a reserve defensive back in 2014. He finished the season with 14 tackles, 12 of which were solo stops. ► Glass saw significant action as a true freshman in 2014 and will look to solidify his spot as one of the starting safeties in 2015. The Texas native finished the season with 41 tackles, including 28 solo stops, recorded a pair of interceptions and broke up six DDEFENSIVEEFENSIVE BACKSBACKS / SAFETIESSAFETIES pass attempts last season. ► After senior starter Dontae McCoy missed several NATE BOND, SR., DB games due to an injury, Kocour started as a true SONIEL ESTIME, SR., S freshman at safety. JOSH BURCH, SR., DB ► Three FBS transfers were brought in during STEPHEN AMOAKO, JR. TR, DB the offseason to help bolster the depth in the LA’DARRIUS NEWBOLD, JR. TR, DB secondary and make immediate impacts for PARIS RATLIFF, JR., DB the Redbirds: Stephen Amoako (Oregon), ALEC KOCOUR, SO., S La’Darrius Newbold (Texas Tech) and Ryon’e DRASHANE GLASS, SO., S Winters (Wyoming). DAVONTAE HARRIS, SO., DB ► Seniors Soniel Estime and Nate Bond bring leadership to the group as well and each are RYON’E WINTERS, SO. TR, DB standout special teams players that will see COLE BUMPUS, RS FR., DB time in the secondary. Junior Paris Ratliff also ARNELL ANDERSON, RS FR., DB returns, with redshirts Arnell Anderson and Theo THEO HOPKINS, RS FR., DB Hopkins. JAWILL ALDRIDGE, FR., DB ► True freshmen Willie Edwards, Jamal Brown, JAMAL BROWN, FR., S Jawil Aldridge and Luther Kirk join the program WILLIE EDWARDS, FR., DB JJOSHOSH BURCHBURCH and could see some playing time, but will most LUTHER KIRK, FR., DB likely redshirt.

@REDBIRDFB #BACKTHEBIRDS • 31 22015015 PPOSITIONOSITION BREAKDOWNSBREAKDOWNS SPECIAL TEAMS ► The special teams units will have a new look in 2015, with the entire battery having graduated. ► Sophomore placekicker Sean Slattery returns as the only kicker with any game experience under his belt. Slattery averaged 59.9 yards per kickoff, with three touchbacks, in 2014 and made 8-of-9 PAT attempts in the season-opening win over Mississippi Valley State. ► Junior punter Reece Attard sat out the 2014 season as a year in residence, but will look to fi ll the spot of fellow Australian CJ Laros as the primary punter for the Redbirds. Attard averaged 42.1 yards per punt on 50 attempts, with a long of 67 yards, in his previous stop at Husson. ► Redshirt freshman Seth Hood will look to take over the longsnapping duties, after the loss of All- American Chris Highland. He will work with Matt McCown and Brannon Barry as the team’s group of long and short snappers. ► Redshirt freshmen Zach Breen and Prestin Van Mieghem return and will serve as backup kickers, with Breen in the mix to placekick while Slattery handles kickoff duties. ► Junior Anthony Warrum and sophomore Jon-Marc Anderson should handle the bulk of the punt return duties for the Redbirds. Warrum has fi elded 20 punts over the past two seasons and averaged 8.8 yards per return, with a 62-yard punt return for a touchdown in 2013. Anderson returned 10 punts SSPECIALPECIAL TEAMERSTEAMERS for 59 yards in 2014 as well. ► Both Warrum and Anderson could handle kickoff JOSH BURCH, SR., KR return duties as well, along with senior Josh REECE ATTARD, JR., P Burch, junior Jamal Towns and sophomores JAMAL TOWNS, JR., KR DraShane Glass and Davontae Harris. ► Burch has amassed a 24.5 yard per return ANTHONY WARRUM, JR., PR average as a kick returner in his three-year career JON-MARC ANDERSON, SO., KR at ISU, and has a 100-yard return for a touchdown DAVONTAE HARRIS, SO., KR on his resumé from 2013.
