IDAHO 2013-PRESENT ► 2016 SUN BELT CONFERENCE COACH OF THE YEAR Head coach/receivers

Paul Petrino enters his sixth season as Idaho’s head coach, leading ARKANSAS 2012 the Vandals in their return to the Big Sky Conference. The move also returns Petrino to his football roots. The Montana native got his first taste of Division I coaching as an assistant at Idaho from 1992-94, including the Vandals’ last Big Sky title in 1992 and three ILLINOIS 2010-11 consecutive NCAA Playoff appearances. Offensive coordinator The 2017 team featured the first five-year class of Vandals under Receivers Petrino. Among that group was record-setting Matt Linehan, 1,000-yard rusher Aaron Duckworth and Academic All- ARKANSAS 2008-09 America wide receiver Jacob Sannon. Offensive coordinator A four-year starter under Petrino, Linehan surpassed some of the most sacred names in Vandal football Receivers history. He became the program’s all-time leader in completions and when his senior season was cut three games short by injury, Linehan finished just shy of ’s record for career passing yards. FALCONS 2007 Receivers Idaho played a school-record seven one-possession games in 2017, including its five conference losses coming by a combined 24 points, on the way to finishing 4-8. Still, the team featured 10 all-conference selections. For the first time since 2008 three Vandals picked up first-team accolades, including Duckworth LOUISVILLE 2003-06 who became the first Idaho running back to earn first-team all-league honors since 2000. Offensive coordinator Receivers Petrino’s head coaching career thus far is highlighted by Idaho’s 2016 campaign. He guided the Vandals to bowl eligbility for the first time since 2009 - and won their in record-setting and entertaining fashion. SOUTHERN MISS. 2000-02 For his efforts, Petrino was voted the 2016 Sun Belt Coach of the Year. Quarterbacks The Vandals’ bowl eligibility was the result of their posting their best regular-season record since the 1998 team (Idaho’s first bowl team) went 8-3. They wrapped up the year 9-4 after beating Colorado State 61-50 in LOUISVILLE 1998-99 the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl – largely recognized as one of the most entertaining of the bowl season. It was Receivers the highest-scoring bowl game of 2016 and Linehan, who was named game MVP, had one of the top pass efficiency ratings of any quarterback involved in postseason play. UTAH STATE 1995-97 The bowl victory was the culmination of not just gritty, determined efforts week-in and week-out during 2016, Receivers but of the first four years of Petrino’s reign. After back-to-back one-victory seasons, the Vandals were 4-8 in Special teams 2015. That marked the beginning of the on-field visibility of the process that started in December 2012 when Petrino was hired. IDAHO 1992-94 From the minute he arrived on the campus, Petrino infused the Vandals with an intensity Running backs that reverberated around the Kibbie Dome and throughout the Vandal Family. His practices mirror his Receivers personality – focused, intense and determined. Special teams

With his accountability-based approach in place, the Vandals’ APR has improved every season and the team’s CARROLL 1990-91 spring 2017 grade-point average of 2.91 is the program’s second-highest term GPA on record. He was using the same approach to elevating the classroom successes as he was on the field where effort and discipline Offensive coordinator were being preached day in and day out. Quarterbacks The result was the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl victory and one of the most incredible program turnarounds in history. The program had waded through three successive one-victory seasons (one under the previous staff) 16 POSTSEASONS before four wins in 2015 and the 9-4 2016 team. IDAHO Famous Idaho Potato Bits and pieces of the progress made deep within the program were evident before the wins started to build on (2016 season) the field. Broc Westlake, a linebacker throughout Petrino’s tenure, graduated in December 2015 with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average and was one of two Vandals to earn the department’s prestigious Rich and Mary Fox LOUISVILLE Award, which is given annually to the graduating student-athlete(s) with the highest cumulative grade-point Motor City (1998 season) average. In graduating Summa Cum Laude, he also was recognized as a National Football Foundation’s Humanitarian (1999 season) Hampshire Honor Society. GMAC (2003 season) In 2015, the Vandals led the Sun Belt in seven statistical categories and were second in another five. Those Liberty (2004 season) conference rankings translated to their being in the top 25 percent nationally in 11 categories. Gator (2005 season) Orange (2006 season) In his first season back at Idaho, he took the Vandals against a schedule that featured not only the eventual national champion, but a total of seven bowl teams, which included four teams that, at one time or another, ILLINOIS were ranked among the nation’s top 25. While the Vandals didn’t finish with the win-loss mark he would have Texas (2010 season) liked, his first class of recruits showed it can provide the base for a bright andalV future. Kraft Fight Hunger (2011 season) In that season, Petrino had his first Vandal All-American in punter Austin Rehkow, whose record-setting SOUTHERN MISS. season earned him a spot on the Walter Camp All-America team. A true freshman in 2013, Rehkow’s average Mobile Alabama (2000 season) of 47.8 yards per kick is an NCAA record for a freshman as well as the overall record for a player who punted (2002 season) at least 75 times in one season. He went on to become the only four-time first-team all-conference selection ARKANSAS in Vandal history. Liberty (2009 season) In year two of his tenure, Petrino took the Vandals back to the Sun Belt Conference after one season as an UTAH STATE FBS independent. A passing game fueled by Linehan, a redshirt freshman at the time, and senior receiver Humanitarian (1997 season) Joshua McCain was one of the nation’s best and Rehkow again repeated as the national punting average IDAHO leader and was a finalist for the Award. The Vandals were significantly more competitive and off the field they made huge improvements in the classroom. The team posted one of its highest grade-point- NCAA I-AA Playoffs (1992-94) averages in team history and improved its APR by leaps and bounds. 8 BIG SKY CHAMPIONSHIPS | 11 NCAA PLAYOFF APPEARANCES  GAME 1 | at FRESNO STATE (SEPT. 1) HEAD COACH PAUL PETRINO UNDER PETRINO

► 2018 AWARD WATCH LIST ► BECAME FIRST FBS PLAYER WITH A SACK AND TD RECEPTION IN SAME GAME SINCE 2013 (DID SO TWICE) CLIMBING THE LIST: Kaden Elliss enters his senior season with 228 career tackles. Elliss is on pace to become the 12th Vandal in program history to eclipse 300 career stops. If he surpasses his current career high of 83 tackles in a season, Elliss would move into the school’s top 10.

LIVING BEHIND THE LINE: Kaden Elliss was named second-team All-Sun Belt at linebacker as a junior after recording 80 tackles, including 16 for loss and six sacks. Elliss’ 16 tackles for loss ranked 24th in the country at the FBS level. Elliss enters his senior season with 31 career tackles for loss, 11 shy of sixth place on Idaho’s all-time list. No Vandal has cracked the top six since 2000.

HERE, THERE, EVERYWHERE: While listed as Idaho’s starting Buck linebacker, Kaden Elliss will rotate all over the field. Elliss will lineup at strong-side linebacker, defensive end and a stand-up edge rusher. He will also play multiple positions on offense and could see snaps on special teams as a kick blocking weapon.

TURNING IT ON: In the last six games of 2017 Kaden Elliss recorded 48 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, four sacks, five quarterback hurries, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery on defense while making six catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns on offense.

ALL-EVERYTHING: Kaden Elliss’ versatility was epitomized on one specific series last season against ULM (Oct. 28). In leading the Vandals to a much-needed win Elliss made major contributions on both sides of the ball. In the second quarter he hauled in a 45-yard touchdown reception, the second-longest touchdown reception by a Vandal last year, and on the next play from scrimmage sacked ULM quarterback Caleb Evans. He finished with a team-leading 10 tackles, including three for loss and the sack.

As good of a football player as Kaden is, he’s a better person. He’s an amazing young man, a great leader and “a great athlete. He can really play anything on defense and he’s such a play maker on offense. -Head Coach Paul Petrino ” KADEN ELLISS YEAR-BY-YEAR ELLISS IN THE 2017 RANKINGS STAT IDAHO SUN BELT DEFENSE Total Tackles 80 2 t-16 TACKLES SACKS FUMBLE Pass Blkd Tackles / gm 6.7 2 14 Year Games Solo Ast Total TFL-Yds No-Yds FF FR-Yds Int-Yds QBH Brk Kick Pts Solo Tackles 58 2 4 2015 12 66 17 83 7.5-26 1.0-10 0 0-0 0-0 4 0 0 0 Total Tackles For Loss 16.0 1 t-2 2016 13 44 22 66 7.5-27 3.0-17 3 2-53 5-56 0 2 0 6 Tackles For Loss / gm 1.3 1 3 2017 12 58 22 80 16.0-67 6.0-52 2 1-0 0-0 6 4 1 12 Total Sacks 6.0 t-2 t-9 CAREER 37 158 71 229 31.0-120 10.0-79 5 3-53 5-56 10 6 1 18 Sacks / gm 0.5 t-2 t-9 QB Hurries 6 1 - Blocked Kicks 1 t-1 - Fumbles Forced 2 t-2 t-8 Fumbles Recovered 1 t-1 t-11

He’s such a good player, and so smart, he usually only needs one rep to understand something and get “it down. You’d like to be able to steal him and play him all the time on offense, but he’s so valuable on defense. You’ve got to be able to pick your times. PAUL HORNUNG AWARD WATCH LIST: Kaden Elliss was named to the Paul Hornung Award Watch List this summer. The Paul -Head Coach Paul Petrino Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse is given annually to ” ’s most versatile player.

ONE OF A KIND: Linebacker Kaden Elliss established himself as one of the best two-way players in the country last season and is expected to expand his roles in 2018. Elliss, primarily a linebacker, also lined up at full back and tight end on a handful of snaps in each of the last nine games of 2017. Against Missouri (Oct. 21), Elliss became the first FBS player to record a sack and a touchdown reception in the same game since 2013. He repeated the feat against ULM (Oct. 28). Elliss also played on special teams and blocked an extra point against Appalachian State (Oct. 14).

PURE FOOTBALL PLAYER: Often referred to as the best football player on Idaho’s roster, Kaden Elliss can do it all. As a freshman Elliss ranked second on the team with 83 tackles. In 2016 he honed his pass coverage skills and snagged five - the most by a linebacker in the country at the FBS level. His junior season saw Elliss play closer to the line of scrimmage on defense and make appearances on offense, including seven receptions for 156 yards and two touchdowns. In high school, Elliss led Judge Memorial Catholic High School to the Utah 3A state title as quarterback and defensive end.

ALL IN THE FAMILY: Kaden Elliss is joined in the Vandal football program by his father Luther (defensive line coach) and younger brother Christian (sophomore linebacker). Kaden is the oldest of 12 children - seven of whom are adopted. Luther is in his second season on the Idaho coaching staff after spending the previous two years as the team chaplain. Luther spent 10 seasons playing in the NFL, including selections in 1999 and 2000. He was the 20th overall pick in the 1995 NFL Draft after an All-American career at Utah.

ADDING ANOTHER ROLE: This summer, Kaden Elliss added another title to his resume. Elliss was married July 27 to Brooke Reilly, a former Vandal women’s student-athlete.

I was super excited about the opportunity to play tight end on top of linebacker. It’s “really fun. I’d like to play 100 plays if they would let me. It gives me more of a grasp on the outcome of the game. I feel like I have more of an impact and can just play my heart out. -Kaden” Elliss KADEN ELLISS YEAR-BY-YEAR ELLISS IN THE 2017 RANKINGS STAT IDAHO OFFENSE / ALL-PURPOSE Receptions 7 t-6 RUSHING RECEIVING RETURN YDS RETURN TD ALL Receiving Yards 156 6 Year Games No. Yds TD Lg No. Yds TD Lg Int Fum Int Fum PURP.

Coffey averaged 44.6 yards per punt, ranking 10th nationally and first among freshmen. A second-team All-Sun Belt selection, Coffey handled punting and kicking duties for the Vandals. More than 30 percent of his punts went for at least 50 yards, including a long of 68. Coffey also connected on 12-of-17 field goals with a long of 46.

ALL-AMERICA TRADITION: Cade Coffey became the fourth consecutive Idaho punter to be named to an All-America team during their careers. Austin Rehkow (2013-16), Bobby Cowan (2009-12) and T.J. Conley (2006-08) were each honored as All-Americans at least once. Coffey is the fifth Vandal punter to earn an All-America nod, joining Tom Sugg (1991).

PROVIDING A PICK-ME-UP: Last season Cade Coffey won the job as Idaho’s kicker and punter, stepping in to replace the first four-time first-team all-conference performer in program history. Gone was Austin Rehkow, the four-year starter at kicker and punter who has since spent time in multiple NFL camps. Coffey, who grayshirted out of high school and redshirted his first year on campus, picked up where Rehkow left off.

LEGACY POSITION: Before Cade Coffey took over in 2017, the previous eight seasons saw Idaho start just two punters and two place kickers. All-American Austin Rehkow was a four-year starter at both positions for the seasons preceeding Coffey (2013-16) and from 2009-12 Trey Farquhar was a four- year kicker alongside four-year punter Bobby Cowan. Last season, Coffey became just the eighth different starting punter for the Vandals in the past 23 seasons. With three seasons of eligibility remaining, he plans to continue the legacy.

BORN TO DO THIS: Idaho kicker/punter Cade Coffey is the son of Sue and Travis Coffey. Travis played linebacker and safety for the Vandals from 1992-95. Travis and Sue were married prior to Travis’ senior season, and the following year Cade was born at in Downtown Moscow. The family lived in England for six years, before returning to Northern Idaho (Rathdrum) when Cade was 10. CADE COFFEY YEAR-BY-YEAR IN THE 2017 RANKINGS PUNTING Punts Yards Avg.

8 BIG SKY CHAMPIONSHIPS | 11 NCAA PLAYOFF APPEARANCES  GAME 1 | at FRESNO STATE (SEPT. 1) GROUND GAME STRONG JUNIOR GUARD | 6-4 | 289 | FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. NOAH JOHNSON 2018 PHIL STEELE PRESEASON ALL-AMERICA (FIRST TEAM) 2018 STATS PRESEASON ALL-AMERICA (SECOND TEAM) 2018 PRESEASON ALL-BIG SKY 2017 ALL-SUN BELT SECOND TEAM 2016 SUN BELT ALL-NEWCOMER TEAM PRESEASON HONORS: Noah Johnson has yet to play a game in the Big Sky, but he has already earned the respect of pundits around the league and the FCS. Johnson was selected to two prominent preseason All-America teams, in addition to the All-Big Sky Preseason Team. He earned a spot on Phil Steele’s Preseason All-America First Team, as well as the STATS Preseason All-America Second Team.

EARLY START PAYS QUICK DIVIDENDS: Idaho offensive lineman Noah Johnson enters his junior year with 22 starts already under his belt. Johnson got a head start on his college career after graduating high school early and joining the Vandals for spring ball prior to the 2016 season. The extra time with the program helped Johnson earn a starting spot on the offensive line for his collegiate debut. Johnson went on to be named to the Sun Belt All- Newcomer Team as a freshman in 2016.

VANDAL ANCHOR: Noah Johnson anchored the Idaho offensive line last season and helped pave the way for Aaron Duckworth’s 1,000-yard rushing season. Duckworth was a first-team All-Sun Belt selection, the first Vandal running back to earn first-team all-league honors since 2000. Johnson picked up second-team All-Sun Belt recognition himself.

GUARD U: Noah Johnson is on his way to earning a spot among the all-time great offensive linemen to come through the University of Idaho, including recent Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Jerry Kramer. Johnson was able to spend time with Kramer in August at a celebration for the longtime Green Bay Packer. Other NFL linemen to come through Idaho include: , , , Jesse Davis, and .

SHAKING THE RUST OFF: Noah Johnson missed Idaho’s spring ball while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. Johnson was given a clean bill of health headed into the summer and is expected to be full go in the Vandals’ season opener. He slowly worked up to full contact drills during fall camp.

ISAIAH SAUNDERS SENIOR RUNNING BACK | 5-10 | 232 | ELK GROVE, CALIF. CARRYING ON TRADITION: Isaiah Saunders enters his senior season with 1,277 career rushing yards. Saunders will look to become the 13th Vandal to reach the 2,000-yard milestone, joining former backfield mate Aaron Duckworth (2014-17).

THE POTATO ON TOP: A massive performance in the 2016 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl capped off Isaiah Saunders’ sophomore campaign. Saunders set career highs of 33 carries and 147 rushing yards in the game. His three touchdowns matched his career high, set just two games prior. Saunders’ career night guided the Vandals to a 61-50 victory over Colorado State.

VANDAL PEDIGREE: Isaiah Saunders followed in his father’s footsteps coming to Idaho. Walt Saunders was a wide receiver for the Vandals from 1991-93, including Idaho’s last Big Sky championship in 1992. Paul Petrino was an assistant coach at Idaho, during Walt’s playing career.

ALMOST A MASTER: Isaiah Saunders completed his bachelor’s degree in December 2017. Saunders majored in sociology with an emphasis on criminology. He is now nearing completion of a master’s degree in public administration. Saunders plans to pursue a career in social work.

PLAYING FOR MORE THAN HIMSELF: Isaiah Saunders and his fiancé welcomed a baby boy, Ezekiel, into the world in June. Saunders said his mindset changed instantly, including in areas he did not expect. “My son has changed everything. Everything I do now has an impact on him. I even take that into my training. I feel like I need to go hard in everything I do just to set an example for him.” ISAIAH SAUNDERS YEAR-BY-YEAR RUSHING RECEIVING KICK RET ALL Year Games No. Yds TD Lg No. Yds TD Lg No Yds TD Lg PURP. 2015 12 13 40 0 6 2 2 0 2 4 74 0 34 116 2016 13 159 731 9 29 15 148 0 45 0 0 0 0 879 2017 12 126 506 2 37 7 59 0 14 0 0 0 0 565 CAREER 37 298 1277 11 37 24 209 0 45 4 74 0 34 1560

He led Idaho with three interceptions last season and ranked third with 78 tackles, yet he makes his biggest impact off the field. A mechanical engineering major, Hall is working with fellow engineers and finance students, including teammate Alex Boatman, to develop a shower targeted to recreational vehicles that uses filtered, recycled water. The Forever Shower has won entrepreneurial and innovation awards across the region.

HALL EARNS ACADEMIC AWARD: Ed Hall was named to the 2017 CoSIDA Academic All- District 7 First Team. Hall, along with former teammate Jacob Sannon who also earned the award, became the first Vandal football student-athlete to take home the honor since 2009.
