@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.

2016 ILLINOIS STATE REDBIRD FOOTBALL • 14 MMISSOURIISSOURI VALLEYVALLEY FOOTBALLFOOTBALL CONFERENCECONFERENCE • Founded in 1985, the Missouri Valley Football Conference has shaped itself into the nation’s premier NCAA FCS conference. During the 2015 season, the league demonstrated its superiority as for the second-straight year, fi ve MVFC teams earned selection to the NCAA Division I Championship, with league member North Dakota State claiming an unprecedented fi fth-straight national crown. Last year, the league fashioned a 24-14 non-conference record. • Strong coaching and great players have helped make the league a national force, but the stability and leadership of Commissioner Patty Viverito -- the only commissioner the league has ever known -- has helped make the Missouri Valley Football Conference a standard bearer on the FCS scene. Indeed, all signs point to continued national prominence for the Missouri Valley Football Conference as it enters its 32nd season in 2016. • Thanks to great players and strong coaching, the Missouri Valley Football Conference has reached and will maintain its place among the FCS best. Since 2004, league teams have combined for a 51- 28 record in playoff games, with fi ve titles – both tops in the FCS. And this decade (since 2010), the Missouri Valley Football Conference has compiled an FCS best 37-15 record in the playoffs. • In recent years, the league has established itself as a leader among FCS conferences. Counting last year, an MVFC member has reached the FCS semifi nals 17 times in the past 20 seasons (and 20 times overall). The league has seven national championships in that span. • Last year, fi ve league teams (Illinois State, North Dakota State, UNI, South Dakota State and Western Illinois) represented the conference in the FCS playoffs, marking the 21st-straight season in which at least two or more teams have participated in post-season play. The league recorded an 8-4 playoff record, giving the league 18 wins in the playoffs in the past two seasons. No other league had more than seven. • In 2015, the league wasn’t short of individual national accomplishments as a total of 17 different players earned All-America honors. League Offensive Player of the Year Marshaun Coprich of Illinois State fi nished third in the STATS FCS Player of the Year balloting, and NDSU QB Carson Wentz earned the NCAA’s Elite 90 Award for the third-straight year. Wentz, one of three players from the MVFC taken in the 2016 NFL Draft, became the highest-ever draft pick for the league, taken second overall by the Philadelphia Eagles. • The 2014 playoffs ended again with a North Dakota State national championship, but Illinois State reached the title game, too, marking the fi rst NCAA FCS championship game for the Redbirds. It was the fi rst intra- conference matchup in the FCS title game since the NCAA began conducting one in 1978.

2016 ILLINOIS STATE REDBIRD FOOTBALL • 16 22016016 PPOSITIONOSITION BREAKDOWNSBREAKDOWNS QUARTERBACKS ► After an amazing two-year run from two-time MVFC First Team quarterback Tre Roberson, it’s now time for Jake Kolbe to take the reigns as the Redbird signal caller. ► The redshirt sophomore showed flashes of big-time talent in 2015, as he saw action at quarterback in six games while also serving as the team’s primary holder on kick placements. His big arm and efficient style should lend well to the Redbird offensive for the next several years. ► He started the season with a bang, completing 11-of-15 pass attempts for 147 yards while throwing two touchdowns in the season opener at Iowa in relief of Roberson. ► Kolbe later made his first career start against Northern Iowa and led the Redbirds to a win with another efficient effort, going 11-for-16 for 80 yards passing. ► Perhaps his biggest contribution came in the FCS Quarterfinal game against Richmond, when he came in late in the contest for a beat up Roberson and rushed for a 17-yard touchdown to cut it to a one-score lead. ► Hasan Muhammad-Rogers and Koty Thelen will take the majority of the second and third-string snaps during the spring. Muhammad-Rogers spent some time as a wide out last fall, but will be back behind center this spring and Thelen was the third-string JJAKEAKE KOLBEKOLBE quarterback last season.

RUNNING BACKS JJAMALAMAL TOWNSTOWNS ► The loss of two-time All-American and FCS Naitonal Offensive Player of the Year fi nalist Marshaun Coprich is huge for the Redbirds, but several experienced players return in 2016 who should help solidify the backfi eld. ► Senior Jamal Towns is the most experienced option for the Redbirds at tailback, with three years of backup experience under his belt. His quickness is his biggest asset, and he has been used as a change-of-pace back over the past several years while backing up Coprich. ► Towns was the third-leading rusher for the Redbirds in 2015, running for 164 yards on 28 carries while scoring a pair of touchdowns. His longest of the season was an impressive 40-yard touchdown run at Southern Illinois. ► Redshirt sophomore George Moreira also showed flashes of speed and power while carrying the ball in 2016, and also proved to be one of the better kickoff returners in the league. Moreira averaged 4.3 yards per carry and scored one touchdown last year. ► Redshirt freshman DeMarco Corbin could also make a big impact this spring, after sitting out 2015 learning the system and getting bigger and faster in the weight room. ► Nick Kielbasa and fullbacks Jake Hendershot and Brady Tibbits could also get some carries to split the load in the backfield during spring ball.

WIDE RECEIVERS ► The deepest position on the fi eld this spring will be at wide receiver, and the potentially explosive group is led by third-team All-American Anthony Warrum. ► He caught 58 passes for 1,290 yards (third-most in ISU single season history) and set a school single-season mark with 15 touchdown receptions. He has six games with over 100 yards receiving and ranked in the top 10 among FCS receivers in four categories. ► Talented junior Christian Gibbs also returns and despite missing time due to injury, he averaged 20.2 yards per catch and scored twice on the season due to his mix of speed and length on the outside. ► Anthony Fowler made an immediate impact after transferring to ISU and looks to improve upon his 14 catches for 192 yards. ► Slot receiver Bryce Jefferson played well as a true freshman last season, but will have more backup this spring with the additions of transfers Spencer Schnell and Chase Pankey. Also, look for senior Jeremy Graves to come back from injury and make an impact. ► Matt Biegalski, Kyle Williams, Michael Kolzow and Nick Griffith also return and should add even more depth and length to the group that figures to give Kolbe plenty of AANTHONYNTHONY WARRUMWARRUM options in the passing game in 2016.

@REDBIRDFB #BACKTHEBIRDS • 17 22016016 PPOSITIONOSITION BREAKDOWNSBREAKDOWNS TIGHT ENDS MMICHAELICHAEL CLEMENTSCLEMENTS ► Both tight ends return for the Redbirds in 2016 and each look to take another step forward in their young careers at ISU. ► Junior Michael Clements is back and has the most playing experience among the group. Clements averaged 16.8 yards per catch in 2015 and caught a big touchdown pass in the team’s win at Eastern Illinois. Clements also proved a pivotal part of the Redbird running attack, which was led by Coprich and the strong line up front. ► Sophomore Tylor Petkovich is the other half of the two-headed monster for the Redbirds at tight end. He averaged 18.0 yards per reception, with a long of 28 yards, and looks to make another step forward in 2016. ► Senior John Nicholson also returns and brings a wealth of experience with him to the meeting room and practice field. ► Also look for Brannon Barry to split time once again at the tight end position, while also playing some defensive end after his eye-opening numbers in limited action in 2015 as part of the Redbird defense with five sacks.

OFFENSIVE LINE ► The starting line of Dan Pawlak, Kyle Avaloy, Mark Spelman, Cameron Lee and Ryan Gelber started all 13 games for ISU during its 10-win championship season and FCS playoff run in 2015 and each returns for his senior campaign in 2016. ► Spelman leads the group in the middle at the center position, and earned All-MVFC First-Team honors while leading the way for Coprich, who led the MVFC in rushing yards (1,967), touchdowns (23), yards per game (151.3), all-purpose yards per game (166.4) and scoring (11.2) ► Avaloy earned second-team All-MVFC honors at left guard and will be a starter for the third season in a row for the Redbirds, adding to the stability of the interior of the line alongside Spelman. ► Pawlak, Lee and Gelber were each starters for the first time in 2015 and performed well, as the Redbirds were one of the most dangerous teams offensively in the MVFC and the nation. Each should take another step forward and improve on the lessons learned from their first starting roles last season. ► Dean Helt, Chad Kanugh, Tyler Brown, George Hoselton and Alec Diab continue to wait in the wings and will learn from the seniors in front of them throughout the spring MMARKARK SPELMANSPELMAN and regular season in hopes of taking starting roles for the Redbirds in 2017.

DEFENSIVE LINE DDALTONALTON KEENEKEENE ► The defensive line will look a bit different with the losses of Teddy Corwin and David Perkins, but a solid core returns looking to solidify the front seven. ► Junior Dalton Keene earned MVFC Honorable Mention honors in 2015, after ranking second on the team with 10 tackles for loss and a five sacks primarily playing the nose guard position. He should take another step forward at the position this year, and could be one of the better interior defensive lineman in the conference. ► He will be flanked by fellow junior Matt McCown, who also spent time as a starter at tackle last season and finished the season with 8.5 tackles for loss on the season. ► Nathan IlioIlo and Blake Hooper also return to shore up the rotation and tackle and each saw significant playing time in 2015. ► On the end, junior Adam Conley returns after starting 11 games last season while Corwin was out with an injury. His 24 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss will need to be improved upon to help cover the loss of Corwin and Perkins. ► Donavin O’Day was expected to make a big difference, before a knee injury took his 2015 season from him. Watch him this spring, as well as redshirt freshman Jason Harris to add to the mix. ► James Graham, Brannon Barry and Matt Swaine should also aid the pass rush.

2016 ILLINOIS STATE REDBIRD FOOTBALL • 18 22016016 PPOSITIONOSITION BREAKDOWNSBREAKDOWNS LINEBACKERS BBRENTRENT SSPACKPACK ► The linebacker position may be the most thin on the whole roster this spring, with the losses of three-year starters in Pat Meehan and Alex Donnelly. ► Alejandro Rivera is the lone returning starter for ISU, having started all 13 games for the Redbirds in 2015. Rivera ranked second on the team with 83 tackles last season, and will look to lead the way from his outside linebacker position in 2016. ► Despite not having a lot of starting experience, senior Brent Spack returns with a lot of game experience and will look to fill the starting role in the middle. Spack has been the backup MIKE linebacker for the past two seasons and should slide into the role easily. ► A pair of redshirt freshmen in Josh Sromovsky and Decxavier Kelly-Martin will battle for the starting spot this spring at the other outside linebacker spot. Both bring a different skill set to the position and the up side for both is big. ► Fellow redshirt freshman Tuvone Clark will be the primary backup behind Rivera, but could compete for the starting role on the opposite side as well. ► Former All-MVFC fullback Bryce Holm will back up Spack at the middle linebacker spot, after a late-season move last season necessitated by injury at the position showed he could compete well there thanks to his physicality and speed in space.

CORNERBACKS ► The Redbird corners were an extremely inexperienced group in 2015, even with senior Josh Burch holding down a starting spot at the fi eld corner spot. With Burch now gone, the group needs to improve and mature even more in 2016. ► Junior Davontae Harris started all 13 contests for the Redbirds last year and was fifth on the team in tackles with 78 on the season. He is slated to keep his starting role and will continue to improve this spring in hopes of having a better 2016. ► Senior La’Darius Newbold should slide into the spot left by Burch at the other corner spot, after playing a lot in his first season at ISU after transferring from Texas Tech prior to the 2015 campaign. Newbold saw significant minutes later in the season and added 18 tackles and an interception on the season. ► Junior DraShane Glass moves from his safety position to play corner this spring, but the transition should be smooth as Glass has played a lot in the nickle package as a cornerback over the past several seasons. ► Redshirt freshman Willie Edwards will get his opportunity to show what he can do as well and could push the veterans for playing time in 2016 at the corner position. He made the most of his redshirt season, as he was named the special teams scout player of the DDAVONTAEAVONTAE HARRISHARRIS year in 2015.

SAFETIES AALECLEC KOCOURKOCOUR ► Junior Alec Kocour earned MVFC Honorable Mention honors at safety last season and started nine games, before suffering a season-ending injury. During that time, he showed he could be a force at the position and fi nished the season ranked fourth on the team with 78 tackles and led the team with three interceptions. ► Talented sophomore Luther Kirk will back up Kocour, but could move to the other starting position with a strong spring. Kirk was pulled from his redshirt season last year and ended up playing in 10 games, with one start, while finishing the season with 18 tackles. His experience from last season should serve him well headed into year two. ► Sophomore Mitchell Brees, who has spent time as a wide receiver and safety in his two seasons at ISU, will be moved to safety permanently and will look to make as much of an impact at the position as fellow Greendale, Wisconsin, native Ben Ericksen made during his All-American career. ► Redshirt freshman Jeremy Bivens also played well as a member of the scout team last season and should continue to improve as he battles for playing time at the free safety spot.

@REDBIRDFB #BACKTHEBIRDS • 19 22016016 PPOSITIONOSITION BREAKDOWNSBREAKDOWNS SPECIALISTS SSEANEAN SLATTERYSLATTERY ► Unlike last season when the Redbirds had to replace nearly all of their kickers, punters and return men, the group all returns in 2016 to provide strength and stability in the special teams units. ► Placekicker Sean Slattery returns for his junior season and will look to improve on his 82 points scored last season. Slattery handled all placements and made 10-of-18 field goal attempts and 52-of-54 extra points while handling all the kickoff duties for the Redbirds. ► He will be joined by senior Reece Attard, who averaged 38.6 yards per punt in his first season with the Redbirds. He booted 10 balls over 50 yards or more and should improve on his accuracy and strength in year two. ► The trio of Nathan IloIlo, Matt McCown and Seth Combs will battle for the long and short snapping duties, with each seeing time in that role last season. ► Anthony Warrum returns as the primary punt returner, but look for wide receiver Spencer Schnell to take over that role and provide the Redbirds with a dynamic returner. ► George Moreira and Jamal Towns both returned kicks last season and will look to do the same this year, but also watch for wide receive Chase Pankey and Davontae Harris to get some looks there.

 GAME SUMMARY Redbirds Season Comes To An End With Loss To Richmond NORMAL, Ill. –A frantic comeback in the final minutes fell short, as the Redbirds (10-3) fell by a score of 39-27 to Richmond (10-3) to see their season come to an end in the FCS Quarterfinals. After going down 32-14 with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Redbirds converted back-to-back touchdown drives to pull within five points at 32-27. ISU quarterback Tre Roberson connected with running back Marshaun Coprich for a 12-yard score. Then, after Roberson went 2015 down after taking a wicked hit and had to sit out one play, backup quarterback Jake Kolbe scrambled for a 17-yard score on his first, and only, offensive snap of the game. Richmond then sealed the win with a 28-yard rushing touchdown from running back Jacobi Green that clinched the game and sent the program to the FCS Semifinals against the winner of North Dakota State and Northern Iowa. Richmond quarterback Kyle Lauletta was tremendous, completing 18-of-30 attempts for 369 yards and touchdown. ISU was led by the passing attack of Roberson, who was solid and accurate throughout most of the night on his way to a 25-of-42 finish for 370 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. His main target, Anthony Warrum, finished with nine catches for 152 yards and one score, while Christian Gibbs hauled in a career-best eight catches for a career-high 96 yards. The Spiders got off to a hot start, taking the ball 73 yards down the field on their opening drive, but the Redbird defense held them to a field goal. After a quick three-and-out by ISU, the Spiders capped off another long drive with a Broadus rushing score from 13 yards out for a 10-0 lead heading into the second quarter. Roberson led the ISU offense on a bounce-back touchdown drive, connecting with Warrum from 20 yards on a corner route toward the back of the end zone. The Spiders were then held to another Yoder field goal, this time from 24 yards out, for a 13-7 lead. It looked like that would be the score heading into the break, but a lightning-quick 87- yard drive in under two minutes capped off by a two-yard touchdown run from Jacobi Green gave the Spiders a 19-7 lead at halftime. ISU struck first in the second half with a five-yard touchdown run by Coprich, set up by a 26-yard catch from Warrum and a 23-yard grab by Gibbs. The Spiders quickly answered, though, when Lauletta hit Green on a wide open screen pass in which the running back sprinted 35 yards for a score and a 25-14 lead. Green would later add an insurance touchdown with a 27-yard score in the fourth quarter for the 32-14 lead.
