Wildcats Experienced at QB, Offensive Line, on Defense

ELLENSBURG - Central Washington University's inaugural football campaign at the NCAA Division II level resulted in its first losing season in two decades. But, head coach John Zamberlin, who led the Wildcats to a Columbia Football Association title two years ago, is confident his team can bounce back this fall from a 4-5 1999 campaign, their first sub .500 season since 1980.

Though the Wildcats embark on an ambitious 10-game schedule which takes them into all four time zones, only one of the games (Sept. 23 at Saint Mary's, Calif.) is against a NCAA Division I-AA team. A year ago, the Wildcats played three Division 1 schools.

And also unlike a year ago, Zamberlin is starting the season with experienced, though still young , players at quarterback and on the offensive line.

CWU also returns five all-stars from the Columbia Football Association's No. 2 ranked defense, but will have to replace most of the key skilled-position players on the offensive side of the football.

Zak Hill (6-0, 183, So., Battle Ground - Prairie), who twice passed for more than 300 yards, returns at quarterback. In his freshman season, Hill completed 87 of 146 passes for 1,017 yards after taking over the starting duties midway through the season. Backing up Hill, whose father Butch played football and baseball for CWU and is a member of the school's Hall-of-Fame, will be redshirt freshman Troy Thomas (6-3, 163) from Prosser.

"We're a little more settled at the quarterback position that we were a year ago," Zamberlin said. "Zak made some good progress and competed well in spring ball . He is a very intelligent player and comes from a good football background."

Hill, the first CWU freshman to start a game at quarterback since Jon Kitna in 1992, could be pushed by Thomas, who has good size and is very mobile. "Troy is a good athlete and can make plays on his feet," Zamberlin, who has a 16-12 career mark in three previous seasons, said .

Also battling for the back~p role will be letterman Nathan Graham (6-0, 175, Reardan) and redshirt freshman Dale Chase (6-4, 198, Fr., Olympia - River Ridge).

Hill will need to reply on a virtually brand-new support cast.

Running back Dan Murphy, who led the team in rushing (700 yards) and scoring (60 points), completed his career as the all-time leader (3,628 yards and 312 points) in both categories. Top receivers Ty Nunez (53 catches for 585 yards) and Ryan Seal (40-419) also graduated and Mark Leazer (20-223) elected not to return .

Still, Zamberlin ranks the running back and receiving corps as possible team strengths.

The favorite to replace Murphy in the starting lineup is Nat Conley (6-0, 195, Jr., Pasco), who was productive in a backup role, netting 338 yards and scoring four touchdowns on 80 carries. Also returning are

Shawn Brathwaite (5-8, 190, So., Graham - Bethel) and Donovan Dashiell (5-9, 189, Jr., Port Orchard - South Kitsap), who added 96 and 89 yards, respectively. Dashiell also averaged 24.3 yards on seven kickoff returns.

"Nat is the most experienced running back," Zamberlin said . "He has good acceleration, good vision and is an explosive runner.

"Shawn was one of our top running backs at the end of the 1999 season and has made outstanding progress. He has good vision and quickness and all he needs is more playing time. "Donovan showed some good things last season. He has exceptional balance. It just seems like he has been snake-bitten with injuries," Zamberlin said.

Two University of Washington transfers - Ty Fotheringill (5-10, 185, Sr., Kelso) and Justin Johnson (5-9, 200, So., Bellevue) - and redshirt Emilio Iniguez (5-7, 166, Fr. , Spanaway - Bethel) will provide the Wildcats with remarkable depth at the running back position.

Iniguez, whose brother Rico was CWU's 1997 MVP, is a tough , hard-nosed runner. Fotheringill is a slashing type of runner and is capable of making big plays. Johnson is a fullback and could be used in a two-back set. "He has good power and quickness and will be a welcome addition," Zamberlin said.

Richard Penton (5-8, 185, So., Tacoma - Curtis) is the top returning receiver and he caught only two passes a year ago. Still Zamberlin and quarterback coach Beau Baldwin are happy with the group of receivers.

Penton had a team-best four receptions for 64 yards in the spring game. A former running back, he has the ability to add yards after making the catch.

Also returning from last year's receiving corps are lettermen Clint Lecount (6-0, 195, Sr., Vancouver - Evergreen) and Mark Acker (6-2, 200, Jr., Olympia - North Thurston) and redshirts Jake Roberts (6-3, 177, Fr., Spokane - University), Moses Lewis (6-2 , 175, Fr. , Yakima - Davis) and Josh Lopez (6-0, 175, Fr., Wapato). Tony Butorac (6-2, 185, Fr., Elma), a standout CWU track athlete who redshirted in 1998, is also back after skipping the 1999 season.

Lecount and Acker each made one catch last season. "Clint is a smart player and he understands our offense. Mark has good speed, but hasn't had a lot of experience," Zamberlin said.

Roberts, who caught three passes for 127 yards in the spring game, has good size and hands and is a tough kid , according to Zamberlin. Lewis has improved his pass receiving skills and has game-breaking ability. Lopez has improved his conditioning and runs good routes. Butorac can use his track skills (he is an outstanding long and high jumper) to go up for the ball.

Squad member Brooks Denny (5-9, 170, So ., Brush Prairie) and redshirt freshman Scott Alexander (5-8, 170, Quincy) will play the H-back position, while lettermen Jason Webster (6-0, 230, So., Kent - Kent­ Meridian) and Pete Kalasountas (6-3, 209, Sr., Hazen) are penciled in at tight end.

Denny showed great improvement this spring, while Alexander, a 15-footer pole vaulter for CWU's track team, is a former high school running back who has good quickness and can add yards after the catch .

Webster, who saw limited duty last season, is a good run-blocker and catches the ball well in traffic. Kalasountas started last season at quarterback, but was switched to tight end in the spring. "He is just learning the position, but he is a good athlete, has good hands and knowledge of the offense," Zamberlin said.

Guard Josh Johnston (5-11 , 260, Sr. , Richland) is the lone returning all-star on offense and will anchor the line, which returns virtually intact from last year. Also returning are guard Ryan Stengle (6-3, 250, So., Spokane - East Valley), tackles Connor Craig (6-2, 245, So., Port Orchard - South Kitsap) and Ethan McDonald (6-4, 260, Sr., Auburn) and center Chris Scheer (6-1, 260, Sr., Tacoma - Wilson).

Even though everyone is back, CWU offensive coordinator John Picha has lots of options due to an outstanding group of 1999 redshirts and will reshuffle the lineup.

Johnston, who earned second team Columbia Football Association honors last sea_son and is a four-year starter, will move from the weak guard to strong guard position. "He is an excellent run blocker and leads by example," Picha, who also coaches the offensive line, said.

Craig will move from tackle to take over at the other guard position. "Connor has improved his size and strength and he has good speed and great tenacity," Picha said. At tackle, there will be two new starters with Craig moving inside and McDonald being switched to defense. Stengle will move from guard and will battle redshirt Rhett Carpenter (6-3, 255, Fr. , Kelso) for the start on the strong side. "Rhett has added weight and is very strong and aggressive and has the ability to be a standout player," Picha said.

Redshirt Jonathan Lindsey (6-3, 240, Fr., Puyallup - Rogers) may get the nod on the week side. "He has good feet and is an excellent pass blocker. He also has added some weight and strength," Picha said.

Backing up Lindsey will probably be redshirt Matt Green (6-4, 232, Fr., Spokane - Lewis & Clark), who has good feet and has added weight. "Matt is very intelligent and is going to be a player, " Picha said.

Scheer, at center, is the only returning starter on the line likely to remain in the same position. "Chris is a veteran and he is smart," Picha said. "He also has the ability to play all the line positions."

Rob Williams (6-3, 272, So ., Tacoma - Clover Park), the only true freshman to see playing time on the line last fall, will also contribute at center. "Rob has good size and strength and he had a good spring," Picha said .

Also contributing on the line this fall wiil be letterman Aaron Crockett (6-3, 320, So., Tacoma - Bellarmine) and redshirt Zach Fife (6-3, 280, Fr., Yakima - West Valley).

Crockett, at 320, is CWU's only 300-pounder on offense. Fife also has great size and plays with good tenacity, Picha said.

On paper, CWU should have one of the top defensives nationally among NCAA Division II schools. Six starters return off a unit that ranked 1?' h nationally in both total defense (272.3) and rushing defense ( 106.1) and 27'h in passing efficiency.

Five of the six incumbents were all-stars, including linebackers Jed Sluyter (6-0, 225, Sr., Renton - Hazen) and Brandon Christensen (5-10, 200, Sr., Mukilteo - Kamiak) and defensive back Jason Patterson (5-11 , 175, Jr., Enumclaw). All three were first team selections.

Defensive end John Fields (6-4, 240, Sr., Des Moines - Mt. Rainier) was a second team CFA all­ star and defensive back John Hallead (5-11 , 217, Sr., Ellensburg), who was the 1998 CFA Defensive Player-of-the-Year, earned honorable mention honors last fall.

CWU has no apparent weaknesses on defense, though its depth might be suspect on the line and at linebacker.

On the line, the Wildcats graduated tackle Jason Woods, who had 42 tackles, and defensive end Ryan Sawyer (21 tackles), but return Fields, who had 42 tackles, and tackle T.J . Horgan (6-2, 254, So ., Spokane - East Valley, 24 tackles).

Fields, who has good size and runs well, led CWU in quarterback sacks (6 1/2) and total tackles for losses (12 1/2). "He made more big plays than anyone else on the defense," Zamberlin said .

Battling for the other end slot opposite Fields will be lettermen Lee Petty (6-4, 240, Sr., Pasco - WWCC), Todd Hildebrand (6-3, 230, So., Poulsbo - North Kitsap) and Fred Simmons (6-3, 215, So ., Curtis). Between them they combined for only 11 tackles last season.

Petty has good size, runs well and his explosive. "He has a chance to step up and claim the position," Zamberlin said .

Hildebrand runs well, but needs to get more physical. Simmons has a great work ethic and has improved his strength.

On the inside Horgan is being counted on as the anchor. Letterman Shaun Claiborne (5-10, 310 , Lakewood - Clover Park), who had 18 tackles last season, figures to replace Woods in the starting lineup. Both players are rated strong, quick and explosive, according to the CWU head coach.

McDonald and Travis Brock (6-3, 270, So., Graham - Bethel), who is also being moved from the offense, will also figure in the rotation. "Ethan is hard-nosed and made good progress in the spring after being moved," Zamberlin said.

At linebacker, CWU has one of the best returning combos in the country in Sluyter (79 tackles, 11 for losses, 3 interceptions) and Christensen (73 tackles, 11 for losses, 3 forced fumbles). They ranked 1-2 on the team in stops last season.

Sluyter could wind up his career as the leading tackler in school history. In three seasons, he already has 230, including 19 for losses, and needs just 80 more to equal the school record of 310 set by Hall-of-Farner Maurice Hanks between 1981 and 1984. Tackles have only been recorded as an official stat since 1980.

Sluyter is one of five team captains along with Hill, Johnston, Fields and Hallead. "Jed has a great work ethic and he provides great leadership," Zamberlin said. "He takes charge and motivates others."

Christensen also ranks among CWU's career tackle leaders, ranking 17th with 184, including 22 for losses. "He is very physical, plays hard and makes a lot of big plays," Zamberlin said.

Jared Carter (6-0, 225, Jr., Walla Walla), who moves from an end position, is the favorite to fill the third linebacking slot though he may by pushed by Rawley Robins (5-11 , 208, Sr., Federal Way).

Carter, who has eight tackles as a defensive end reserve last year, has the physical tools to play the position and has made good progress. All he lacks is experience. Robins has earned three letters as a backup and is a physically tough player.

Also expected to see playing time at linebacker will be letterman Courtney Brown (6-0, 195, So ., Spokane - Central Valley), squad member Johnny Hunn (6-0, 215, So ., Lakewood - Lakes) and redshirt Levi Teasley (5-9, 191, Fr., Ellensburg). Depth, however, remains a concern.

Patterson (39 tackles) and Hallead (59 tackles, 7 for losses) will anchor a strong secondary. Replacements, however, must be found for free safety Scott Henry and cornerback Pete Hartzell.

Patterson returns at one corner. Last year he made a lot of big plays on the corner (team-leading five interceptions and eight blocked passes) and on specialty teams (30.4 kickoff return average, including 99-yard return for touchdown). He possesses good speed and has good size for the position.

Candidates to replace Hartzell at the other corner include lettermen Terrance Allen (5-7, 165, Jr., Tacoma - Mt. Tahoma) and Zac Scott (5-10, 185, So., Spokane - Central Valley) and redshirts Keenan Mussie (5-8, 180, Puyallup - Rogers) and Rocky Martinez (5-8, 160, Fr. , Lynnwood - Mountlake Terrace).

Allen, who had 14 tackles last season, was a big contributor on CWU's specialty teams. He also is a sprinter on the Wildcat track team. Scott has good speed and size and all he needs is to develop confidence. Mussie has he potential to be a very tough , physical player. Martinez was moved from wide receiver,

Hallead returns at strong safety. A year ago, he ranked third on the team in tackles with 59. He ranks 13th in career tackles with 190 and is among the career leaders in blocked passes with 18. "John has good speed and is very physical and has made a lot of big plays for us over the past three seasons," Zamberlin said.

He will be backed up by letterman Duncan Bagley (5-10, 190, Jr., Raymond - Willapa Valley) and Mike Alexander (5-11 , 190, Jr., Quincy) and redshirt Mitch Richards (5-9, 200, Stanwood - Lakewood). Bagley has made good strides since last season. Alexander is a standout pole vaulter for CWU's track team. Richards is very physical and runs well.

Three-year letterman Chad Philip (5-10, 180, Sr., Edmonds - Woodway)will likely replace four­ year starter Henry at the free safety position . A year ago, Philip had just 10 tackles in a reserve role, but he had an outstanding spring and has the tools to succeed. "It is his time to step up," Zamberlin said.

Also contending for playing time at free safety will be Brian Corpuz (5-11 , 190, Fr., Puyallup - Bellarmine Prep), who missed last season after injuring his knee in the season opener against Eastern Washington. ""Brian is a great competitor and was one of our fastest players before injuring his knee," Zamberlin said.

CWU will also be solid on special teams. Ian Tyrrell (5-8, 194, Sr. , Yakima - Davis) was an honorable mention CFA all-star and is the school's all-time career punting leader (39.1). Place-kicker Steve Hickey (6-2, 190, So., Ten ino, 35-41 PAT, 6-11 FGs in 1998) returns after missing the 1999 season. Patterson, who ranked sixth nationally (30.4) in kickoff returns and averaged 6.7 on 15 punt returns, will likely handle the return chores.

CWU opens its 2000 season Sept. 2 at North Dakota. It is the earliest start ever for the Wildcats. Carroll College visits Sept. 9 for the Wildcats' home opener. Central, which was picked to finish third in the CFA coaches' pre-season poll, begins its conference season Sept. 30 at Bellingham against defending champion Western Washington. Homecoming is Oct. 28 against Western Oregon.
