2010 Washington State Spring Practice Schedule

OFFENSE

FULLBACKJared ByersCorey Luafasa

After making a midseason switch last year, Jared Byers returns as the Cougars’ primary fullback in 2010. Byers, who starred a Pullman High School prior to walking on to the WSU Football team, began the season at linebacker, but switched to fullback in the week of practice leading up to the Oregon. He played that week against the Ducks, and was entrenched in the position for the remainder of the season, making two starts. Luafasa…

Coach Wulff on WSU’s fullbacks…“We were very impressed with Jared last season. He came over to the offensive side of the ball late, but he blocked well and caught the ball well, and we feel comfortable with him entering this season. Luafasa…”

OFFENSIVE LINELeft Tackle Left GuardTyson Pencer Zack WilliamsWade Jacobson Steven AyersAlex Reitnouer Tim Hodgdon

CenterAndrew RoxasChris PrummerSebastian ValenzuelaMichael Pfeiff

Right Guard Right TackleB.J. Guerra Micah HannamSteven Ayers David Gonzalez William Prescott

The Cougars were decimated by injuries along the offensive line in 2009, but with all of the experience gained during the season, 2010 could shape up to be a much different story. Despite losing second-team All-Pacific-10 Conference center Kenny Alfred, the unquestioned leader of the Cougar offense and a mainstay at the position for the last four seasons, WSU’s offensive line could prove to be the team’s deepest position this year and one of the major strengths of the Cougar squad.

At left tackle, Tyson Pencer and Alex Reitnouer combined to start six games in 2009. Highly-touted junior college transfer Wade Jacobson will also be in the mix to start.

Zack Williams started seven games at left guard in 2009, though was one of the many Cougar offensive linemen to get hit by the injury bug. When healthy, Williams was one of the most imposing guards in the conference. Steven Ayers, a versatile player who started a combined seven games at both guard and tackle in 2009, is slated to move back inside in 2010, though he provides depth at a number of positions along the line. Tim Hodgdon has the size and strength to compete in the Pac-10, and could be a welcomed addition should his number get called.

Andrew Roxas is the only player not named Kenny Alfred to start at center for the Cougars during the past three seasons, and after missing 2009 with an illness is expected to step in as the starter in 2010. Expected to back up Roxas are Chris Prummer, who backed up Alfred in 2009, and Sebastian Valenzuela, a redshirt freshman.

At right guard, B.J. Guerra showed enough in his seven starts last season to earn the nod headed into spring camp. Guerra missed

four games due to injury, but gave the Cougars a strong presence inside when healthy.

Micah Hannam has started every game of his Cougar career, all 37 of which at right tackle. The veteran of the Cougars’ offensive line enters this spring as the starter once again, but will be joined by David Gonzalez, a junior college transfer with the size to compete at the Pac-10 level, and William Prescott, who redshirted the 2009 season.

Coach Wulff on WSU’s offensive line…“We were hit hard up front by injuries last season, which really limited what we were able to do offensively. I think you’re going to see an improvement on the offensive side of the ball, and it starts with the offensive line. We have a lot more depth here than we did last year. With another offseason in the weight room, and the experience we gained last season, this could definitely be one of the strengths of our team.”

QUARTERBACKJeff TuelMarshall LobbestaelDan WagnerKeith Gilbertson

Jeff Tuel grabbed a lot of headlines when he became the first true freshman quarterback to start a game for the Cougars since Drew Bledsoe, and he garnered even more attention when he threw for 354 yards against California. However, if there is anything WSU has learned the last two seasons, it’s that injuries can happen at any moment – especially at the quarterback position. Despite Tuel’s shining once thrust into the starters’ role, Marshall Lobbestael was never fully recovered last season from a knee injury suffered in 2008, a season in which he garnered Pac-10 Player of the Week honors. Tuel and Lobbestael will split repetitions with the first team throughout the spring.

Dan Wagner has been forced to step in at quarterback each of the last two seasons, and he will be vying for the No. 3 quarterback job with Keith Gilbertson, who impressed the coaching staff after walking on prior to the 2009 season.

Coach Wulff on WSU’s quarterbacks…“Jeff showed flashes of what we thought he would be when we recruited him, but he still has a lot of room to grow as a quarterback. Marshall was still hurt last season, but he played through it and he has had an excellent offseason. They are going to split time with the ones this spring, and they are both going to have an opportunity to earn the job.”

RUNNING BACKMarcus RichmondCarl WinstonLogwone MitzChantz StadenLeon BrooksJames Montgomery (INJ)

WSU’s leading rusher each of the last four seasons, Dwight Tardy, is gone. The only Cougar to rush for more than 100 yards in a game in 2009, James Montgomery, is expected to be limited during spring football after an injury suffered against SMU ended his season just three games in. Thus, there will be a fierce competition at the position this spring.

Marcus Richmond enters camp atop the depth chart, but he hasn’t carried the ball for the Cougars since 2008. Competing

Spring Practice Position Breakdown

Spring Practice Position Breakdownwith Richmond for first-team carries will be Carl Winston, who showed flashes as a true freshman in 2009, and Logwone Mitz, who has shown an ability each of the last two seasons to be a major contributor for the Cougars. Two players who redshirted the 2009 season will also be in the mix: Chantz Staden, who missed last season with a knee injury after backing up Tardy in 2008, and Leon Brooks, a redshirt freshman who impressed the coaching staff after walking on prior to last season.

Coach Wulff on WSU’s running backs…“There will be a healthy competition at running back this spring. We are hopeful James is able to come back, but he is going to be limited for a while. The rest of the group is going to have a real opportunity to step up and earn playing time. We have a couple guys coming in as freshman who are extremely talented, so this spring is going to be very important for the current guys on the roster.”

TIGHT ENDSkylar StormoZach TatmanAaron GehringAndrei LintzElliott Bosch

The Cougars return two tight ends this spring that started in 2009: Skylar Stormo, who made his debut last season, and Zach Tatman. Although Stormo enters spring atop the depth chart, both were regulars in WSU’s tight end rotation last season, and each started one game.

Andrei Lintz and Aaron Gehring also saw time at the position last season, and Elliott Bosch, who redshirted in 2009, enters the fold this spring. With talented players slated to join the squad this fall, all five tight ends currently on the roster will be pushing for playing time.

Coach Wulff on WSU’s tight ends…“We have a few guys coming back this year that were in our rotation in 2009, and we have a couple more that will be coming in this fall. They will all have an opportunity to earn playing time, but the players on campus right now are going to have a chance this spring to prove that they want to be one of the primary contributors at the tight end position.”

WIDE RECEIVERX F ZDaniel Blackledge Gino Simone Jared KarstetterEsa Johnwell Jeffrey SolomonJosiah Sims

Each of WSU’s three starters at wide receiver in 2009 return this season. Jared Karstetter garnered honorable mention All-Pacific-10 Conference honors last season as a sophomore, following his 38-catch, 540-yard, six-touchdown campaign. He started every game as one of WSU’s outside receivers. Daniel Blackledge is penciled in to start opposite of Karstetter after catching 23 passes for 212 yards in 2009. Jeffrey Solomon is slated to back-up Karstetter, though he started seven games last season, playing both the inside and outside receiver positions. Esa Johnwell redshirted after walking on prior to the 2009 season, though he impressed the coaching staff and will push for playing time this year.

Gino Simone started 11 of WSU’s 12 games in 2009 at the flanker position, missing only the SMU game with a concussion. He caught passes in 10 games on the season, including at least one in his first eight games as a Cougar, and ranked second on the team in both receptions (36) and yards (330). He enters spring camp as WSU’s starter at flanker.

Coach Wulff on WSU’s wide receivers…“We have four guys coming back who gained a lot of experience last season, but we are going to need to see improvement from our wide receivers this spring. Entering last year, only Jared and Daniel had seen Pac-10 action. With a year under their belt now, we really need to see a big jump from these guys for our offense to keep progressing.”

DEFENSE

DEFENSIVE BACKSLCB RCBAire Justin Daniel SimmonsAnthony Martinez Terrance HaywardAnthony Houston (INJ) Nolan Washington

SS FSChima Nwachukwu LeAndre DanielsTyree Toomer Jay MatthewsCasey Locker Kyle McCartneyJamal Atofau Anthony CarpenterTrace Pickering

WSU’s defensive backs were one of a number of units hit hard by injuries in 2009. Tyree Toomer was forced to redshirt due to a torn pectoral muscle, and LeAndre Daniels and Daniel Simmons each had their seasons ended early with broken legs. But all three are healthy now, and the Cougars will have them back in the fold in addition to a number of players who redshirted.

Simmons and Aire Justin will begin the season as WSU’s starting cornerbacks. Both started for the Cougars in 2009, as did Terrance Heyward. Nolan Washington is expected to contribute, and could push for a starting role as he continues to progress.

Nwachukwu began last season as one of WSU’s starting corners, but moved to safety with the injury to Daniels. He will begin spring ball as the Cougars’ starting strong safety, but his versatility allows him to play anywhere in the secondary. Daniels is fully recovered from his broken leg, and is expected to start opposite Nwachukwu at free safety.

Toomer missed all of last season, but was vying for a starting role prior to the injury after gaining valuable experience as a true freshman in 2008. Jay Matthews started for the Cougars in 2009, and gives the team added depth at safety. Casey Locker, Jamal Atofau and Anthony Carpenter all redshirted last season, but each will be pushing for playing time this spring.

Coach Wulff on WSU’s defensive backs…“Much like the offensive line, we have a lot more depth in the secondary this year because so many had to play last season. We have four guys on the roster right now that we are comfortable with at corner, specifically Daniel Simmons – he played very well there last season before his injury. We also have quite a few guys at safety that will push each other and provide daily competition for playing time. Chima Nwachukwu can play both corner and safety, so he gives us depth at each spot. We also have some players who redshirted last year that could have played at both safety and corner. With a year under their belt and a winter in the weight room, spring is going to be very important for this unit’s development.”

DEFENSIVE LINELE REKevin Kooyman Travis LongCasey Hamlett Adam CoerperJordan Pu’u Robinson Brandon Rankin

LT RTBernard Wolfgramm Toby TurpinAnthony Laurenzi Dan SpitzJustin Mann Justin ClaytonJosh Luapo (INJ) Matt Bock Zach Brevick

Travis Long was the only Cougar to start every game along the Cougar defensive line in 2009, and he was a true freshman. He proved he belonged however, garnering honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors. Slated to start opposite Long was Kevin Kooyman, but his season was ended one week in. Kooyman redshirted, and is fully recovered entering this spring. Long and Kooyman give the Cougars a pair of starting defensive ends with Pac-10 experience.

With the injuries along the line, Casey Hamlett started eight games for WSU after transferring from Western Washington. He is slated to back up Kooyman, and gives the Cougars a third option at the position. Jordan Pu’u Robinson redshirted last season, but he is expected to be a contributor, as is junior college transfer Brandon Rankin, a four-star recruit and the 2008 National Junior College Defensive Player of the Year.

Five different Cougars started at defensive tackle in 2009, and all five return this season. Bernard Wolfgramm and Toby Turpin begin spring practice atop the depth chart after combining to start 14 games last year. Anthony Laurenzi and Dan Spitz, both redshirt freshman in 2009, combined to start seven games at defensive tackle, and will also be in the mix. Spitz also started at defensive end, and will provide depth at both positions.

Josh Luapo started WSU’s first two games at tackle, and he will continue to be limited this spring recovering from knee surgery. Justin Clayton redshirted last year and will be looking to impress the coaching staff to earn a spot in the tackle rotation.

Coach Wulff on WSU’s defensive line…“The defensive line was another position that was hit pretty hard last year by injuries. We are hoping that another offseason in the weight room will prevent the same thing from happening in 2010. Travis Long was everything we hoped he’d be when we signed him, and he will continue to progress this season. Casey Hamlett also played well last year, we get Kevin Kooyman for another season after his injury last year, and we add Brandon Rankin to this group, so we feel pretty good about our defensive ends. At tackle, we are going to see how much these guys improved this offseason. Quite a few guys gained experience there last year, and they have all gotten bigger and stronger.”

Andy Mattingly and Jason Stripling each started most of last season as the Cougars’ outside linebackers, but both have exhausted their eligibility. The other mainstay amongst WSU’s linebacking corps, Alex Hoffman-Ellis, hadn’t played much football prior to last season. He stepped in as WSU’s middle linebacker and led the Cougars

in tackles. He has tremendous speed, and will move to the Will linebacker position for 2010. Arthur Burns made the switch from running back to linebacker midseason, and will back up Hoffman-Ellis entering spring practice.

Louis Bland also has quite a bit of experience starting for the Cougars, but he will be limited this spring recovering from a knee injury. He will be moving to middle linebacker once he is fully recovered, but with him out, Mike Ledgerwood, who started two games at middle linebacker last season, enters spring atop the depth chart. Darren Markle redshirted last season, but he could push Ledgerwood for playing time.

At the Sam position, Myron Beck will open spring practice as the starter. Beck has played both safety and linebacker the past two seasons with the Cougars, and has shown the ability to both defend the pass and stop the run. Andre Barrington and Sekope Kaufusi will each have an opportunity to impress the coaches this spring after redshirting the 2009 season.

Coach Wulff on WSU’s linebackers…“We are going to move Alex Hoffman-Ellis outside, and his speed is going to allow him to make a lot of plays. With Louis Bland out this spring, both Darren Markle and Mike Ledgerwood are going to have an opportunity to run with the ones and show what they can do. Myron Beck was a playmaker at times for us last season, and he could be a great player. We don’t have a lot of experience at the linebacker position, but there are definitely some guys here that can play, including a couple that redshirted last season. There will be competition at each spot this spring.”

SPECIAL TEAMSKicker Punter HolderNico Grasu Reid Forrest Reid ForrestBlake Dunn Dan Wagner Dan WagnerGauper

Snapper KO Return Punt ReturnZach Enyeart James Montgomery (INJ) Aire JustinKevin BaffneyAlex ReitnouerTravis Long

Both WSU’s starting kicker and punter return from last season. Nico Grasu has won games each of the last two seasons with his leg, and he enters spring practice as the Cougars’ top kicker. Blake Dunn joined the team last season during fall camp, and Alex Gauper will join the Cougars this spring. Each will have an opportunity to win the kickers’ job.

Reid Forrest punted more than anyone in the country last season, and still averaged 43.2 yards per punt, a mark that ranked 21st-nationally. He booted 18 punts of more than 50 yards in 2009, including four of more than 60 yards. Forrest, who also serves as WSU’s holder on kicks, will be backed up once again by Dan Wagner, who the last two seasons has served as both a backup punter and backup quarterback, seeing time at both positions due to injury.

Coach Wulff on WSU’s special teams…“Reid Forrest is one of the best punters in the country, and he is a great weapon to have on a football team. Nico Grasu has made some clutch, game-winning kicks, but we are really going to need him to be more consistent. We have a couple more kickers on the roster now, and there will be competition at the kicker spot. We are going to be much faster on special teams this year, and we should make some great strides in every area.”

2010 Washington State Spring Depth Chart

Paul Wulff enters his third spring season on the Cougar sideline after being named Washington’s State’s 31st head coach, Dec. 10, 2007. With his appointment Wulff became the first WSU football letterwinner and graduate to lead the Cougars since Phil Sarboe served as head coach from 1945-49.

A 1990 graduate of WSU and a four-year letterwinner, Wulff had spent the previous 15 seasons at Eastern Washington University, the final eight as head coach. There he amassed a record of 53-40. During his eight-year head coaching tenure Wulff was named Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year three times (2001, 2004, 2005) and led the Eagles into the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs three times in his last four years. He enters the 2010 campaign with a 56-62 career head coaching record in 10 seasons.

“Obviously this has been a dream of mine since I joined the coaching profession,” said Wulff upon his hiring. “It is my alma mater, a university with great tradition and a program I feel very strongly about. WSU is an important place in my development as a human being with respect to the univer-sity culture. Being named head coach is the biggest honor I have ever received and I am excited about the opportunity.

“Twenty-two years ago, in February of 1985, I signed a letter of intent to Washington State University,” Wulff said at his initial press conference. “I was obligated to that, and I committed to it, and I chose this university over five other Pac-10 schools at that time. I am back 22 years later, and I am committed for another five years. I will make the most of it and do everything in my power to create an environment that everyone who is a Cougar can be proud of. It’s going to take some work. We need to put ourselves in a position where everybody can be proud of the student-athletes in this program both on and off the field on a consistent basis.”

Wulff began his coaching career at EWU in 1993 as a volunteer assistant working with the offensive line. He was named offensive line/strength coach the following season and spent four years in the position before being promoted to offensive coordinator/offensive line/strength coach in 1998.

Wulff coached 21 players to 54 Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) All-America honors in his first seven years at the helm of the EWU program, and two more of his players were named to the Sports Network’s 2007 FCS All-America team at the conclusion of last year. Of the 21 players to earn All-America recognition, 15 have been offensive lineman.

Additionally, Wulff has mentored 15 players who have earned 18 total CoSIDA Academic All-District VIII honors and a total of 131 All-Big Sky Confer-ence Academic team members.

As a student-athlete and four-year starter at center for the Cougars from 1986-89, Wulff was an All-America honoree himself as a senior, earning honorable mention accolades from The Sporting News. Wulff started at center under three different coaches after redshirting in 1985. He played for Jim Walden in 1986, Dennis Erickson from 1987-88 and Mike Price in 1989. He was also a member of WSU’s 1988 Aloha Bowl championship team.

A 1985 graduate of Davis High School in Davis, Calif., Wulff redshirted in 1985 and started four games at guard in 1986 under Jim Walden.

Dennis Erickson directed the program in 1987 and 1988 with Wulff as his starting center both years. In 1988, the Cougars were victorious in the Aloha Bowl as Wulff earned honorable mention All-Pacific 10 Conference honors.

Under Mike Price in 1989, Wulff earned second team all-conference honors and was an honorable mention selection on the Sporting News All-Amer-ica squad. He was also WSU’s long snapper during his stay there.

After a successful collegiate career Wulff had a brief pro career as a center after graduating from WSU in 1990. He signed a free agent contract with the New York Jets, but was released after injuring an ankle and a rib in the preseason. He played in spring 1991 with Raleigh-Durham of the World League, then played in spring 1992 with New York-New Jersey.

Wulff was born Feb. 25, 1967, in Woodland, Calif. He and his wife Sherry have a daughter, Katie, and two sons, Max and Sam.

Cougar Head Coach Paul Wulff

CHRIS BALL - Third YearChris Ball, 45, begins his third season as Assistant Head Coach/Co-Defensive Coordinator/Safeties. Ball arrived at WSU after spending the 2007

season as secondary coach at the University of Pittsburgh under head coach Dave Wannstedt. During his only campaign the Panthers ranked fourth nationally in pass defense (167.3 ypg) and seventh in total defense (297.7 ypg).

Prior to that Ball served four seasons coaching the secondary at Alabama, having moved from Pullman when Price was named head coach at Ala-bama following the 2002 season. While at Alabama, Ball coached a Crimson Tide secondary that in 2004 led the nation in pass defense, allowing just 113.1 passing yards per game. That same year Alabama ranked second in pass efficiency defense.

The following season the Alabama secondary ranked fifth in both pass defense (160.8 ypg) and pass efficiency defense (97.8 rating), and the Crim-son Tide ranked second nationally in total defense. In 2006 Ball oversaw the progress of free safety Roman Harper, who earned All-SEC honors and was a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, presented annually to the nation’s top defensive back.

From 2000-02 Ball served under Price coaching WSU’s defensive backs, mentoring such Cougar greats as Lamont Thompson, Jason David, Marcus Trufant and Erik Coleman. During his three seasons WSU’s defense compiled 56 interceptions, including 26 during the 2001 campaign, which tied for second nationally. That season Thompson set a WSU single-season record and led the Pacific-10 Conference with 10 interceptions en route to All-America honors.

The following season Trufant earned first-team All-Pac-10 and second-team All-America honors under the tutelage of Ball. Trufant, who was drafted 11th overall by the Seahawks in 2003, was part of a secondary that included three other current NFL players: David (New Orleans), Coleman (Atlanta) and Hamza Abdullah (Denver).

The St. Louis, Mo., native and 1981 graduate of Webster Grove High played football at Missouri Western State College and later served as a gradu-ate assistant and defensive coordinator at his alma mater.

The 1985 All-American defensive back coached at both Northeast Missouri State (1986-87) and Akron (1987-88) before joining Price’s staff in 1989. He coached at Coffeyville Community College (1990-94), Western Oregon State College (1995-96) and Missouri Western State (1997-98). Prior to joining the Cougar staff in 2000, Ball spent the 1999 season as defensive coordinator for Idaho State Head Coach Larry Lewis.

MIKE LEVENSELLER - 19th YearThe senior statesman on the Cougar coaching staff, Mike Levenseller begins his 19th year on the Cougar sideline where he serves as wide receivers

coach on Paul Wulff’s staff. Levenseller has been on the Cougar staff since the beginning of the 1992 season, when he began working with Cougar wide receivers under then-

head coach Mike Price. Prior to the 2001 season, Levenseller added offensive coordinator duties to his day-to-day work with wide receivers. As the offensive coordinator, the Cougar pass offense finished in the top 21 nationally each season, including eighth in 2007, 10th in 2001 and 13th in 2002. WSU finished in the top 20 nationally in total offense in each of his first two yeas as coordinator, including an eighth-place finish in 2005.

Levenseller and eight other receivers he has coached comprise WSU’s single-season top 10 receiving yardage list, including Brandon Gibson, who set the single-season record with 1,180 receiving yards in 2007. Under Levenseller’s guidance, Jason Hill broke the 1,000-yard mark twice (2005-06), becoming the only WSU receiver with two 1,000-yard campaigns.

Additionally, five different receivers have recorded 1,000-yard seasons under Levenseller while 10 different players have spent time with NFL clubs.

Prior to returning to Washington State, Levenseller coached wide receivers for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (1990-91), where he mentored the league’s receiver of the year in 1990 (Darrell Smith) and 1991 (Raghib Ismail). He began his coaching career in 1986 with the British Columbia Lions of the CFL, working with wide receivers as a guest coach.

A sixth-round draft pick by the Oakland Raiders of the 1978 NFL Draft, Levenseller spent three years in the NFL with Buffalo, Tampa Bay and Cincin-nati, was a member of the Grey Cup-winning Edmonton Eskimos in 1982 and concluded his playing career with Calgary, 1983-85, of the CFL.

Levenseller completed his WSU playing career by being selected to the Pacific-8 First Team, the AP All-West Coast First Team and the AP All-Amer-ica honorable mention squad in 1978. Levenseller caught 121 passes in his career to rank third on WSU’s all-time list and eighth on the league list. His 2,061 career receiving yards ranked second on WSU’s all-time list as he was one of only seven receivers to top 2,000 yard mark in Pac-8 history.

In 1992 he was inducted into the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame and in 2006 was inducted into the Pacific Northwest Football Hall of Fame.

STEVE MORTON - First YearCougar football player and former assistant coach Steve Morton returns to Pullman for his second stint on the Cougar coaching staff,.The 2010 season will mark Morton’s 36th as a collegiate coach and second stint as a member of the Cougar staff. Morton began his coaching career

In 1987 Morton followed then-WSU Head Coach Jim Walden to Iowa State University, where he spent the next five seasons. He returned to the Pac-10 in 1992, joining the University of Washington staff as offensive line coach. After seven seasons and five bowl appearances, he moved to the University of Southern California (1999-2000). He was at the University of Nevada (2001) before completing three seasons (2002-2004) as the Stan-ford University offensive line coach.

Morton has coached five Pac-10 Morris Trophy winners, signifying the conference’s best lineman, including Lynch in 1984. Additionally he has men-tored four first-team All-America players, and NFL first-round draft choices Kwame Harris of Stanford and Lincoln Kennedy of Washington.

Morton has spent the past five season at San Jose State, the first as offensive line coach and the last four adding offensive coordinator to his du-ties.

As a player, he was a center and offensive guard on the 1973 and 1974 Washington State teams. He graduated in 1977 with a degree in physical education.

Morton and his wife, Karen, have two adult children.

Cougar Assistant Coaches

TRAVIS NIEKAMP - Third YearWhen Paul Wulff began putting his staff together after being named Washington State University’s head football coach in December, 2007, he didn’t

have to look far for his linebackers coach. Travis Niekamp, who coached linebackers on Wulff’s staff at Eastern Washington University from 2004-07, arrived with Wulff in Pullman in a similar role. Niekamp is one of five former EWU coaches from Wulff’s staff at Eastern Washington now serving on the Cougars’ coaching staff.

Before joining the EWU staff in 2004, Niekamp spent the previous four years at the United States Military Academy, where he coached tight ends. While with the Black Knights, he coached with Jody Sears for three seasons.

Prior to his stint at Army, Niekamp spent two seasons at his alma mater Illinois State, coaching outside linebackers in 1999 and defensive tackles in 1998. He was an All-Gateway Conference selection in 1996 and 1997, when he played as a defensive lineman, finishing his career with 170 tackles. That figure included eight quarterback sacks and 22 total tackles-for-loss.

Niekamp was team captain as a senior and was a regular member of the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll during his undergraduate days at Illinois State. He graduated from Illinois State in 1998 with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science.

A native of Stevens Point, Wis., he was selected as a National Strength and Conditioning All-American in 1997. In high school, he played in the Wisconsin All-Star Shrine Classic.

RICH RASMUSSEN - Third YearRich Rasmussen made the move to WSU with Cougar Head Coach Paul Wulff in 2008 after the two worked together as members of the Eagle staff

for 11 years. He has spent the previous eight years as an assistant for Wulff. He spent nine years coaching Eagle tight ends and during his stint at EWU spent time as director of football operations, recruiting coordinator, team

travel coordinator and summer camp coordinator. Rasmussen began coaching at Eastern in 1996 as a student assistant coach on defense, then helped with the offensive line in 1997. He coached

running backs in 1998 before taking over as tight ends coach the following season. While at Eastern Washington, he earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees. He received his bachelor of science degree in physical

TODD STURDY - Third YearTodd Sturdy, a former head coach at St. Ambrose University, joined the WSU staff of Paul Wulff in 2008 after serving as Wulff’s offensive coordinator

at Eastern Washington for the 2007 season. Sturdy was 85-40 in 12 seasons as head coach for the SAU Fighting Bees of Davenport, Iowa. The winningest coach in the program’s history, his

SAU teams won five Mid-States Football Association-Midwest League championships and had a 42-8 league record in his last seven seasons at the helm, including six straight playoff appearances. In 2006 he was NAIA Region 2 Coach of the Year, with the team going a perfect 10-0 before a first-round loss in the NAIA Championship playoffs.

He then coached the secondary and special teams under Mike Woodley in 1992 and 1993 and was defensive coordinator in 1994.

In 1995, Sturdy was defensive coordinator at SAU under head coach Chuck Schrader. With seven games remaining in the season, Sturdy became interim head coach and was named the permanent head coach in December.

As a player, Sturdy was a quarterback for St. Ambrose University from 1987-1990, while he earned a bachelor’s degree in history education. Sturdy came to St. Ambrose via Tipton High School, where he played four sports and accumulated 14 varsity letters, three in football, two in basket-

ball, four in track, and five in baseball (one as an eighth grader). He was named All-State as a quarterback and started at quarterback for the South team in the 1986 Shrine Bowl.

Sturdy and his wife Gina have three children, sons Keegan and Carson, and newborn daughter, Kensington.

DAVE UNGERER - First YearDave Ungerer joined Coach Wulff’s staff in February, 2010, after spending the previous season at Elon University, where his special teams units

ranked among the top 50 in four categories, including fifth in kickoff coverage as Elon surrendered just 17.06 yards per return.From 2007-08 Ungerer served as the special teams coach at Oregon State University. In his first season he worked with All-Pacific-10 Conference

placekicker Alexis Serna, who ended his career as the Beavers’ all-time leading scorer and the Pac-10 record-holder with 144 consecutive extra point conversions. The Beaver kickoff coverage team ranked first in the Pac-10 and fifth nationally. In 2008 he coached All-Pac-10 First Team punt returner Sammie Stroughter and second team kick returner James Rodgers. As a unit overall, the Beavers ranked first in the conference in kickoff coverage (18.7 yards) and third in kickoff returns (23.4 yards).

Prior to Oregon State Ungerer spent four seasons at the University of Alabama as the special teams and tight ends coach, working alongside WSU’s current assistant head coach/co-defensive coordinator Chris Ball. During his tenure the Crimson Tide blocked 13 kicks and returned five punts and two kickoffs for touchdowns.

Ungerer’s first stint in the Pac-10 came in 2002 when he spent one season as the special teams/tight ends coach at the University of California. In his lone season, kickoff returner LaShaun Ward ranked third in the nation in average returns, while Mike McGrath and placekicker Mark Jenkins earned All-Pac-10 honors. In addition, Cal’s kickoff return team was third in the nation and first in the Pac-10.

Ungerer arrived at California after two years at Lehigh, where he assisted the program in finishing in the top 10 in the nation both years. Ungerer also spent five years at the University of Maryland, where he coached 1993 honorable mention All-American and first-team All-Atlantic Coast Confer-ence punter Scott Milanovich. He began his Maryland career as the strength coach before becoming special teams coordinator/running backs coach, a position he held for three years. Ungerer was on staff at Holy Cross from 1988-91, where the program won three-straight Patriot League crowns and compiled a record of 39-4-1, including a perfect 11-0 ledger in 1991.
