GAME STORYLINESAfter finishing 2014 on a four-game winning streak, the 2015 Wayne State football squad will try to extend its current winning streak to four games today as Lake Erie College visits Adams Field. In the last eight seasons (including 2015), WSU has had 11 win streaks of at least three games. Today’s contest will be Senior Day as Wayne State recognizes its 12-member senior class (Rabeah Beydoun, Zak Bielecki, Ashawn Butler, Raafat El Hage, Majd Khytaz, Ryan Newcom, Derrick Rodgers, Carl Roscoe, Mike Sawchuk, Ethan Walsh, Will Wheat and Jamiil Williams). Two other seniors (Brandon Lee and Nate Theaker) are receiving medical redshirts for 2015 and will return in 2016. The Warriors conclude the 2015 campaign at Hillsdale on Nov. 14.
SCOUTING THE STORMLake Erie has lost five of its last six contests, allowing at least 33 points in every setback. The lone victory was a 27-24 triumph over winless Malone. LEC is second in the GLIAC in rushing yards per game (245.6). Junior quarterback John Banyasz has completed 55 percent (84-of-152) of his passes for 1,030 yards with three touchdowns and seven interceptions. Banyasz is the Storm’s second leading rusher with 339 yards, with senior Anthony Bilal having rushed for 1,055 yards in just seven games with 14 rushing touchdowns. He was a Harlon Hill national semifinalist a year ago. Senior Shane Van Fleteren has 49 receptions, more than twice any other teammate. He has 739 receiving yards and one score. Two kickoff returners (Dontrael Brown and Tony Andrews) each average over 20 yards per return. Andrews is averaging 21.2 yards on six punt returns this season. Junior linebacker Nick Szabados has a team-best 61 tackles (36 solo, 25 assisted), while freshman defensive end Alex Heldreth leads LEC with 6.5 tackles for loss. Andrews has recorded a team-high three interceptions.
ALL-TIME SERIESWayne State has a 4-1 mark all-time against Lake Erie. The Warriors won the first three meetings, before the squads split the last two encounters (LEC 35-17 in 2013, WSU 47-28 in 2014) in Painesville, Ohio. WSU is 2-0 at home against the Storm. A win versus Lake Erie would give Wayne State a 5-1 home record marking the

third time in the last eight years WSU went 5-1 at home. Since the start of the 2008 campaign, the Warriors are 32-13 at Adams Field.
LAST TIME OUTWayne State (5-4 overall, 4-4 GLIAC) extended its winning streak to three games with a 31-26 triumph over the visiting Findlay Oilers last Saturday. The Warriors took a 3-0 lead on 36-yard field goal by Paul Graham on the 11th play of a 38-yard drive following the first career interception by Derrick Rodgers. A key play on the scoring drive was a nine-yard scramble by quarterback D.J. Zezula on a fourth-and-five. Findlay finished the first period with 10 yards of total offense on 10 plays in 3:38, while WSU totaled 38 yards on 20 plays in 11:22. Wayne State extended its lead to 10-0 at the 9:50 mark of the second quarter on a three-yard run by Romello Brown. Demetrius Stinson had an 11-yard run on a second-and-nine to put the Warriors in the red zone. After back-to-back punts by UF (because of a fumbled return by WSU), Wayne State drove 92 yards in nine plays with Brown scoring on a one-yard plunge. It was the Warriors third TD drive of the year of at least 90 yards. The big play came on a third-and-seven from the WSU 11 as Zezula found Jamel Hicks for a 37-yard gain. Findlay pulled within 17-7 with just seven seconds left before intermission on a two-yard reception by Daiquone Ford on a pass by Rhys Gervais, who began the game 2-of-8 for 16 yards with three interceptions. Prior to the scoring drive, the Oilers had 32 yards of total offense on 20 plays. After an unsuccessful onside kick by WSU to start the second half, coupled with a 35-yard return by UF’s Brad Fenton, the Wayne State defense limited Findlay to just a field goal after three plays for minus three yards. Tyler Bugeja made a 29-yard attempt to cut the Warrior advantage to 17-10. Following a Wayne State punt, the Oilers went 40 yards in 10 plays and knotted the game at 17 on a one-yard run by Marcus Jones with 9:20 left in the third period. The Warriors punted on the ensuing possession, but WSU special teams stopped an Oiler fake punt rush on fourth down when Preston Pelham tackled Jones after a three-yard gain on fourth-and-four. The Wayne State offense responded with a four-play, 56-yard scoring drive to take a 24-17 lead with 3:07 left in the third stanza. Corey Ester made his first collegiate catch a memorable one hauling in a 37-yard scoring toss from Zezula on a third-and-four play. Findlay had a 17-play drive but a 36-yard field goal attempt by Bugeja was wide right. WSU fumbled on its second play, but again the Warrior defense held the Oilers to a field goal try with Bugeja connecting on a 41-yard attempt with 8:49 remaining in the game. The Warriors sealed the victory with a five-play, 63-yard touchdown drive that consisted of five runs by Brown. Findlay was able to pull within five points (31-26) on a five-yard touchdown pass from Gervais to Alex Long capping off an 82-yard drive. The two-point conversion pass by Gervais was intercepted by Jamiil Williams.
WSU was able to run out the final 3:46 on the clock by gaining 34 yards on eight plays and garnering three first downs (two by rushing, plus another on a defensive offsides on a third-and-four). CENTURY MARKThe last two times WSU had two receivers over 100 yards in the same game, both occurred against Lake Erie. In WSU’s 45-24 home field win on Oct. 8, 2011, Troy Burrell had eight catches for 210 yards and three touchdowns with Dominique Maybanks contributing four catches for 132 yards and two scores. In last year’s meeting in Northeast Ohio, Michael Johnson had game-high totals of nine catches for 105 yards and one touchdown with Hicks adding four receptions for 100 yards and a score.
‘MELLO ON A ROLLRomello Brown had his third consecutive 150-yard plus rushing effort finishing with career-highs in carries (30), rushing yards (172) and rushing touchdowns (3) in the win over Findlay. He also surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for his career (he had 120 yards in 2014). With 49 rushing yards total in the final two games, Brown will become the 10th running back in Paul Winters’ 12 years at WSU with a 1,000-yard rushing season.
WIN STREAK NUMBERSOver the last three games, Wayne State has rushed 739 yards and 10 touchdowns on 152 carries, while Zezula has passed for 413 yards and two scores with just one interception on 30-of-56. WSU has controlled the ball for 102:55 compared to 77:05 for its opponents. During the winning streak, the Warrior defense has limited its opponents to 173 rushing yards on 83 attempts (2.1 yards per carry) and 729 passing yards on 64-of-108. WSU has recorded five interceptions while allowing six touchdown passes. Opponents are just 11-of-41 (27 percent) on third down as Wayne State has recorded 23 tackles for loss.
MORE WSU NUMBERSAfter recording four interceptions in the first eight games of the season, the Warrior defense had three interceptions in the first quarter against Findlay. In addition to the aforementioned pick by Rodgers, Anthony DeDamos and James Howard had their second and third career interceptions, respectively. Drew Dowding recorded a game-high nine tackles (6-3) in the win over the Oilers, including 1.5 for loss in his second career start. The Warrior defense limited Findlay to 13 points in the second half on the three drives that started in Wayne State territory (field goal from WSU 09; touchdown from WSU 40; field goal from WSU 27).

When Andy Bielecki joined the Wayne State football program this fall from Lutheran North High School, he became the second Bielecki on the Warriors’ roster, joining his older brother Zak, a redshirt senior safety.
Currently, the Bieleckis and Jake and Caleb Carrizales are two of many examples of brotherly tandems that have been a part of the Wayne State football team over the years, whether they played at the same time or years apart.
“You spend four or five years, every day from the time you wake up until the time you go to bed with (your teammates) and you kind of become brothers,” said Jason Thomas, who played one season alongside his younger brother, Nick, in 2008. “But to have your real brother come in and be able to show him the ropes, that’s a different experience.”
The common theme is, according to past brother combinations, attributed to the program’s family-like atmosphere, the location of the university – in a bustling metropolitan area – and the informal recruiting the oldest brother often does on his younger sibling.
“My brother and I are extremely close; he’s one of my best friends,” said Andrew Pack, who played with his younger brother, Michael, in 2009. “To be able to experience the whole college football lifestyle with my actual brother was amazing. The struggles of playing college football are tough: doing the two-a-days, the workouts and stuff, but it makes it a little bit easier when you’re going through it with your brother.”
The list of brothers who have played football at Tom Adams Field is seemingly endless. There was Brian VanGorder, the linebacker in the late 70s who went on to coach Wayne State for three seasons in the mid-90s before getting coaching opportunities with the Atlanta Falcons, New York Jets and University of Notre Dame, and his younger brother, Bob. Jamie and Jason Carpenter were twin brothers who played for Wayne State from 1996 through 2000. Another set of twins, Brent and Steve Wisniewski, played in the same defensive backfield during their time with the Warriors in the mid-2000s.
For many of the brother combos, playing at Wayne State provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a year or two in which the two can actually play on the same team. Typically, if the brothers are separated in age by more than a year or two, they will be part of the same high school program, but are split up, with the eldest on the varsity squad while the youngest gets acclimated at the junior varsity or freshman level.
That is exactly what happened with Jason and Nick Thomas, brothers from Akron, Ohio. At least one Thomas brother was on the roster every year from 2004 through 2012.
“I never really thought about it until a year or two out (after Jason redshirted a season),” Nick said of playing on the same team as his brother. “Up until then, I never thought it was a possibility. But it was an awesome experience to be out there with him, to see all the hard work he put in come to fruition his senior season.”
Jason said he didn’t have to sell Nick too hard on the Wayne State program, but he did try to offer him some brotherly advice before Nick’s freshman season.
“I remember the trip up to Wayne State, when we finally said goodbye to the parents, the last trip we took before we started camp, on our way from Detroit to Akron,” Jason recalled. “I told him, ‘You know, it’s kind of a reality shock. Everyone who gets recruited thinks they are really good because they are really good. But once you get to college, everything changes and nobody looks at you as the best player anymore.’
“And he said, ‘I think I’m gonna surprise some people,’ and to be honest he was right. I kind of tried to give him a dose of reality, but he was right all along.”
Another interesting dynamic the Thomas brothers shared: Jason started the program as linebacker and later moved to defensive end, while Nick,

as a freshman, started on the defensive line before transitioning to linebacker.
“I think we realized I wasn’t the fastest guy in the world, so defensive line was more of my position – I just didn’t know that yet,” Jason said.
“Nick, he was brought in as a linebacker, but out of necessity and the fact he played defensive end in high school, he filled right in as a freshman. His natural position was linebacker, but he was so versatile he could play either position.”
The two played as part of the same defensive unit on the 2008 squad, which allowed 14.6 points per game and helped lead Wayne State to an 8-3 record.
Not every set of brothers get an opportunity to play together.
Mike and Doug DenDooven both played for Wayne State starting in the late 80s through the mid-90s, but were not close enough in age to have ever played on the same team.
“It would have been awesome if we were closer in age and would have been able to play together,” said Doug, who joined the program in 1994 and played linebacker throughout his career. (Mike was recruited as a linebacker but moved to offensive line).
Though there was a two-year gap between DenDooven brothers at Wayne State, the program’s camaraderie spanned both eras, as the younger Doug befriended many of Mike’s teammates, and vice versa.
“I’d go down there and hang out with the guys (before attending Wayne State) and saw what it was like,” Doug said. “When Wayne started recruiting me, I thought, this is like home.”
It was a similar scenario for Andrew and Michael Pack.
“Not only was he able to play with his older brother, but he also already knew a bunch of guys,” Andrew said of his brother. “He didn’t have to go into this new life experience not knowing anybody.”
And once both got on the practice field at the same time, there was an extra bit of motivation.
“(Michael) played offense and I played defense,” Andrew said. “So when we would practice and he was younger, he was on
scout time and I was on the other side. So I got to hit him and it was real competitive. We tried to make each other better both as a player and as a person.”
Michael said coaches and teammates would often set up for he and his brother to go against each other in tackling drills, which Michael maintains was not the fairest battle.
“They thought that would be fun because we were so competitive against each other,” he said. “Our hitting drills aren’t set up for receivers. I’d basically get the ball and then I was a tackling dummy.”
For both DenDooven brothers, WSU felt like a good fit because of the family atmosphere – and the fact they could go and play football right away.
“Anyone who plays Division II probably thought or wished they could have played at a higher level, but one of the things we were thankful for is I was able to walk through the door and play as a freshman, instead of going to a big school and having to sit until your sophomore or junior year,” Mike said. “That was a selling point for me and for Doug as well.”
And just because playing days end does not mean the Wayne State brotherly connection fades. Andrew Pack, for instance, after suffering an injury, coached his brother Michael as a student assistant.
“I would encourage him and give him little bits of advice,” Andrew said.
“Once I was coaching, I think I could better teach him things from my point of view and give him better advice.
“He was always very receptive and always took it to heart. He always listened very well.”

percent of the total) have been so honored since 2000.Another strategic measurement continues to be
noteworthy. The 2014-15 academic year continued both academic achievement and community volunteerism. Fifteen (15) of WSU’s 17 athletic programs (women’s indoor and outdoor track is counted as one) have cumulative grade-point averages above 3.00 with a composite cumulative GPA of all WSU student-athletes at 3.10. The annual NCAA Federally-mandated graduation rate (five year) for WSU student-athletes is at an all-time high of 72 percent which has risen over 30 percent in Fournier’s tenure from programs such as: survival skills, connect-mentoring and learning specialists!
In addition, in the last 12 months, WSU student-athletes contributed an exemplary 10,754 community service hours volunteering at a variety of Detroit initiatives. In the past six years alone, student-athletes have committed 53,863 community service hours with such programs as Habitat For Humanity, University Prep Elementary, Capuchin Soup Kitchen and Warming Center, Adopt a Family Thanksgiving Basket, Basic Needs Drive, Be The Match Donor Registry, Covenant House Michigan, NSO (Neighborhood Service Organization), SOCKS in the City, L.I.N.K. Mentoring (Local Intervention Network for Kids, S.M.A.R.T.S. Mentoring, Big Brother Big Sisters, Make-A-Wish Foundation, COTS, Toys for Tots, Forgotten Harvest, Gleaners Food Bank and Manhood Mentoring Project to name only some of the programs.
The conference recognized those achievements with an unprecedented association’s honor of the Sportsmanship Award and Community Service Award in 2013.
The rise in both academic average and community outreach has been dramatic, consistent and unprecedented. In addition, in the latest federally-mandated graduation rate report, it noted WSU student-athletes received an undergraduate degree at a rate 30 percent higher than the comparable campus population. These, and other academic achievements, are recognized at the annual academic banquet, which he started in 2001 and combines a salute to the University’s faculty.
Fournier’s ability to generate private and corporate support has dramatically altered the physical setting of the athletic campus and the practice/competitive opportunities for WSU student-athletes.
In his 15 years, he has secured $14,762,796 in revenue for the athletic department including $13,231,677 in cash and an additional 1,531,119 in deferred gifts. That total has helped complete the following facility initiatives: football locker room; multipurpose indoor facility; new men’s and women’s basketball office complex; baseball’s replica Fenway Park baseball stadium which displays the former Tiger Stadium scoreboard on its famous “Green Monster facade; men’s and women’s basketball coaches offices and film room; softball locker room and coaches offices, along with a grandstand, walkway and press box; a Boston Garden-like parquet floor for basketball; Hall of Fame foyer; swimming video board, pool deck and bleachers in the natatorium; football ticket booths and stadium entrance; outdoor marquee; FieldTurf football field; a new outdoor track; scoreboards for baseball and football with a video display; trainer’s
Since Rob Fournier was named Director of Athletics at Wayne State University on September 1, 2000, a lot has changed. In those 15 years, the department’s competitive success, classroom achievements, community outreach initiatives and the physical structure of the athletic campus has seen a significant transformation. That development has followed a strategic plan that models business forecasting and has realized defined goals/objectives. The results are well-documented.
That competitive success is evident in Wayne State’s national standing against all Division II institutions. WSU’s 14 best finishes in the prestigious NACDA Cup standings (which measures the overall competitive success of athletic programs around the country) have all occurred in the last 14 years including the three highest marks ever in the past seven years – 11th in 2009, 14th in 2014 and 21st in 2010. Those finishes secured an unprecedented top four (4%), top five (5%) and top seven (7%) percent ranking among all Division II athletic programs in the country. Ten of 18 athletic teams advanced to the NCAA tournament last season. In the past 14 years WSU has catapulted over 100 places in the NACDA rankings.
Additionally, in those 15 years, 43 WSU coaches have been named conference coach of the year while five have gone on to be distinguished as National Coach of the Year. In 2012, the women’s swimming and diving program won the first national title since women’s fencing in 1989. Football had its best season ever in 2011 reaching the Division II national championship game.
During Fournier’s tenure at WSU, Warrior athletic teams have won 33 conference regular-season titles, 11 league tournament titles and eight postseason regional, super regional or national titles.
For his efforts, Fournier was honored by NACDA as the Athletics Director of the Year in the Central Region in 2008.
Last year, WSU had twenty-eight (28) All-Americans.In the past 10 years, 294 Warriors have been named All-Americans, the most in any decade. In the 98 years of WSU Athletics, 347 of the 568 all-time All-Americans (61
treatment areas; and new USTA outdoor tennis courts with scoreboard. The physical transformation has been both noticeable and imaginative and boasts a number of cosmetic infrastructure changes as well.
Fournier added a radio and statewide television package to WSU media outreach. He also added the athletic department’s first website, a quarterly magazine (Warrior Within) and a weekly coach’s show (Winters on Wednesdays). He also directs and oversees the University’s intramural and club sport programs and the Mort Harris Recreation and Fitness Center.
Furthermore, Wayne State is the only school in the country to designate a week of activities to promote Women’s Athletics as “W” Week will be having its seventh annual celebration in April 2016 highlighted by “W” Day.
The addition of new programs in women’s indoor and outdoor track and field, and women’s golf follows an internal gender-equity plan designed to better opportunities.
Fournier served three years as a member of the NCAA regional-ranking football committee whose responsibilities include selecting the top teams in the region each week and the teams that advance to the postseason. He also spent three seasons on the NCAA softball regional ranking committee. He currently serves as a member of the GLIAC Finance Committee, while also serving on the infractions committee, scheduling committee and long-range budget planning committee.
Prior to joining Wayne State, Fournier served as the Senior Associate Commissioner and general counsel for the Mid-American Conference. While serving as the acting Commissioner of the Conference (1999), he moved the league office from Toledo to Cleveland, wrote and secured a long-term contract for the men’s basketball tournament at Quicken Loans Arena and secured the three largest corporate gifts in the history of the MAC including First Energy as the tournament sponsor for the men’s postseason basketball tournament.
He also wrote and negotiated the initial Motor City Bowl football contract that is the MAC’s longest postseason Bowl alignment. As the chief compliance officer for the league, Fournier investigated and reported on over 350 infraction cases that insured fairness in case resolution and corrective action. At the request of institutions, he has appeared before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and conducted campus reviews of compliance effectiveness in financial aid, rules education, eligibility and institutional control. He has served as liaison to various NCAA committees for which the conference held cabinet positions. The MAC presidents recognized Fournier’s achievements when they unanimously conferred a Certificate of Commendation and a mark of esteem for his efforts in 1999.
A licensed attorney, he received his bachelor’s degree summa cum laude and his master’s with honors from the University of Akron. He was a national forensics champion and qualified for the national finals in six events. Fournier received his law degree from Akron in 1986 and was admitted to the Ohio bar that same year where he is still licensed to practice.

Paul Winters is in his 12th season as the Wayne State University head football coach.
A year ago, Winters had 26 student-athletes named to the Academic All-GLIAC teams with 15 players earning All-GLIAC accolades. His squad was extremely disciplined ranking seventh in the nation in fewest penalties per game (4.45). In addition, senior linebacker Nores Fradi was voted GLIAC Defensive Back of the Year and a First Team AFCA All-American.
The 7-4 record marked the sixth time in the last seven seasons the Warriors had finished at least .500 compiling a 50-31 mark in that span.
For the 2013 campaign, he had 24 student-athletes named to the Academic All-GLIAC teams with six players earning All-GLIAC accolades. His squad was extremely disciplined ranking fourth in the nation in fewest penalties per game (3.27) and fifth in penalty yards per game (30.55).
In the 2012 season finale, he equaled the school mark for games coached (101) by a WSU football coach. He had 26 student-athletes receive Academic All-GLIAC honors along with 11 players being named to the All-GLIAC teams.
After guiding the winningest team in school history in 2011, he was honored for his efforts with the AFCA (American Football Coaches Association) NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year award.
His 2011 squad set the school record for overall wins (12), road wins (8), while winning four consecutive road playoff games to reach the national title contest. In addition, senior left tackle Joe Long was the recipient of the Gene Upshaw Award as the top lineman (both offensive and defensive) in Division II. Senior running back Josh Renel was a First Team CoSIDA Academic All-America selection becoming the first football CoSIDA Academic All-American since 1975.
Senior safety Jeremy Jones along with six other teammates earned All-America accolades for the 2011 season.
The Warriors ranked in the top 40 nationally in eight different categories for the 2011 campaign -- ninth in fewest sacks allowed (0.94 per game), 14th in sacks (3.00 per game), 23rd in scoring offense (34.38 ppg), 26th in passing efficiency (144.02), 33rd in rushing offense (200.56 ypg), 37th in turnover margin (+0.56 per game), 39th in rushing defense (123.31 ypg), and 40th in kickoff returns (21.62 ypr).
In addition to setting the following single-season school records -- rushing yards (3,209), rushing attempts (699), rushing TDs (43), passing efficiency rating (144.0), average
yards per pass attempt (8.4), total offense (6,083), all-purpose yards (7,880), points (550), total TDs (74), extra points (70), kickoff returns for a touchdown (3), interception return yards (401), tackles for loss (109/84 solo + 50 asst.), quarterback sacks (48.0/40 solo + 16 asst.) and pass break-ups (54) -- Wayne State also became the first NCAA Division II school to play 16 games in a season.
Winters became the school’s all-time football wins leader when the Warriors recorded a double-overtime victory at Hillsdale on Oct. 22, 2011.
The 2011 senior class compiled a 35-14 mark surpassing the previous wins mark of 30 by the 1978 class. In addition, 30 members of the 2011 national finalist squad received conference all-academic accolades.
In 2010, WSU set then school records for overall wins (9), conference wins (8), points in a season (347), passing completion percentage (59.9%), and yards per pass attempt (7.67), while tying the institutional mark for touchdowns in a season (45).
All these accomplishments plus a 12th-place ranking in the final regular-season AFCA national poll earned Winters the AFCA Division II Regional Coach of the Year award.
His 2010 offense ranked 30th nationally in rushing (194.73 yards per game), 45th in scoring (31.55 points per game), 46th in passing efficiency (135.41) and 59th in total offense (381.00 yards per game).
Jones became the first WSU defensive player to earn First Team All-America honors in school history following the 2010 campaign.
The two-time GLIAC Coach of the Year (2006 and 2008), led the Warriors to four consecutive winning seasons (2008-11) for the first time since 1974-78.
In addition, senior running back Joique Bell was selected as the NCAA Division II Player of the Year (Harlon Hill Trophy), played in the Senior Bowl and participated in the NFL Combine in Indianapolis after rushing for 29 touchdowns and 2,084 yards in 2009. Bell played eight NFL games during the 2010 regular season and totaled nearly 1,000 all-purpose yards in 2012 with the Detroit Lions. Bell teamed with Reggie Bush in 2013 to become the first running back tandem with over 500 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards each in an NFL season.
Winters’ 2008 squad became the first team in school history to be ranked in the AFCA poll. Earlier that year, he was one of 28 coaches nationally selected to participate in the 2008 NCAA Expert Coaches Academy.
Winters became the first WSU football coach to earn GLIAC Coach of the Year honors since Dick Lowry in 1975 following a successful 2006 campaign in which the Warriors ranked 10th nationally in kickoff returns, and 13th in both rushing offense and punt return defense. WSU was also ranked regionally until the final poll.
In 2006, Bell eclipsed the NCAA Division II freshman rushing record by gaining 2,065 yards and became the first WSU player named to the AFCA All-America squad since the AFCA began selecting All-America teams in 1945. Bell and David Chudzinski were also named to the AP Little, D2Football.com and Daktronics All-America squads and were joined by Derrion Fuqua on the Hansen’s Gazette All-America team.
After helping the Warriors improve five places in the GLIAC standings from 2004 to 2005, WSU improved another
four places in 2006 and recorded the first winning season in more than a decade.
In his 10 years at WSU, Winters has coached 210 Academic All-GLIAC selections, 14 Academic All-District honorees, 31 All-Region selections and 105 All-GLIAC award winners.
Winters was hired as the school’s 19th football coach by WSU Director of Athletics Rob Fournier on December 17, 2003, after serving on the staff at the University of Akron the previous nine years.
Prior to his appointment at WSU, Winters was listed as one of the top 10 African-American head coaching candidates in the nation by the Black Coaches Association.
After the 2000 season, and for the second time, Winters was nominated for the Broyles Award, a national honor recognizing the nation’s top Division I-A assistant coach. In addition, he was chosen Assistant Coach of the Year by the Northeastern Ohio Chapter of the National Football Foundation from among 13 universities and colleges in the region.
Before returning to Akron following the 1994 campaign, Winters was an assistant football coach at the University of Wisconsin for two seasons (1990-91). Prior to UW, he was on the coaching staff at the University of Toledo for four seasons (1986-89).
In his previous stint on the Akron coaching staff, Winters served on Jim Dennison’s staff as offensive backfield coach for two seasons after being a graduate assistant for the `82 and `83 campaigns.
Winters was inducted into the UA Athletic Hall of Fame on Feb. 2, 1990. He earned a bachelor of science degree in industrial management in `80 and a M.S. degree in education in 1984.
The seventh all-time leading rusher in school history, he rushed for 2,613 yards during his Zips career and was named 1980 UA Athlete of the Year. Winters was a three-time letterman and a three-time recipient of the Harry “Doc” Smith Award as the outstanding player in his class. In `79, Winters was selected as the Zips’ offensive MVP. He was a prep star at Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary.
A former member of the AFCA Division II Board of Coaches, Winters currently serves on the NCAA Regional Ranking Committee as well as the NCAA Rules Committee.
Winters has four children, Christian, Monica, Melanie and Natalie and is married to the former Mya Hill.

With your tax-deductible gift, payable over four years, you can personalize a locker in any of our three new locker room facilities by purchasing a locker plaque. The plaque will be engraved with your chosen personalization that is then affixed to a current student-athlete’s locker. The Wayne State Department of Athletics prides itself on offering a first-class
experience to our student-athletes. Our new and renovated facilities are helping do just that.
Conceived as a way to help fund the top-notch facilities for the student-athletes of today and tomorrow, our supporters can leave their permanent mark on the Warriors’ new facilities and help the department continue to offer our student-athletes the tools to make them successful in the classroom, on the field, and in the community.
HITTING STREAKSGenerally we think of hitting streaks as a personal achievement. Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak comes to mind as one of the greatest sports feats ever. In the case of the new locker rooms for baseball and softball, we are looking to string our hits together as a team to achieve the success necessary to be the best. For each person that steps up to the plate and delivers a hit by securing a locker in the new facilities, a hit will be added to the total goals of 20 games for softball and 40 games for baseball, based upon the number of lockers in each facility.
Softball Locker Room Project - $1,000 Tennis Locker Room Project - $1,000
Baseball Locker Room Project - $1,000 Golf Locker Room Project - $1,000
Football Locker Room Project - $2,000 Volleyball Locker Room Project - $1,000
