STORYLINES► Western Michigan opens the 2017 at #4/4 USC on Saturday, Sept. 2. WMU has never played a Pac 12 opponent and USC has never faced an opponent from the Mid-American Conference.

► This will be the second time in the last three years WMU opens the season against a top 5 ranked opponent. The Broncos hosted #5 ranked Michigan State on Sept. 5, 2015. MSU won, 37-24. Also in 2015, WMU faced Ohio State, ranked #1 at the time, in Columbus in week 4, falling 38-12 to the Buckeyes.

► WMU’s Tim Lester is in his first season as head coach at his alma mater. Lester was an All-MAC quarterback for the Broncos, playing from 1996-99. He was the 1996 MAC Freshman of the Year and led WMU to the 1999 MAC Championship game. Lester threw for 11,299 yards and 34 career TDs. This will be his 64th game as a head coach, also coaching at the Division II and III levels. Lester was an assistant coach at Western Michigan from 2005-06 and most recently was the QB coach at Purdue during the 2016 season.

► Western Michigan is coming off its best season in program history. The Broncos went undefeated during the 2016 regular season, winning its first MAC title since 1988, and was the highest ranked Group of 5 team, earning a berth in a New Year’s Six Bowl, appearing in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. WMU’s top 25 ranking was the first in school history. The Broncos peaked at #12 in the AP poll and fin-ished the season ranked #15.

► Three teams won 13-plus games in 2016: Western Michigan, Clemson and Alabama.

► The Broncos have made bowl appearances in three-straight seasons and have an overall record of 29-11 in that span.

► WMU has one top 25 win in program history - the Broncos defeated #25 ranked Toledo, 35-30, on the road in 2015.

► WMU had 3 NFL Draft Picks last season - Consen-sus All-American and FBS all-time leading receiver (5,285 yds) - WR Corey Davis (5th overall, Titans); All-American OL Taylor Moton (2nd round, Pan-thers) and DE Keion Adams (7th round, Steelers).

► RSo. QB Jon Wassink is scheduled to make his first career appearance and start on Sept. 2 at USC. Wassink follows Zach Terrell who was the 2016 Campbell Trophy winner and finished his career with 12,104 yards passing, 96 TDs and a .655 completion rate.

► WMU’s strength on offense is its running game, returning senior Jarvion Franklin (3,639 yds., 41 TDs), redshirt junior Jamauri Bogan (1,974 yds., 24 TDs) and redshirt sophomore LeVante Bellamy (626 yds., 3 TDs). Franklin and Bogan were both MAC Freshman of the Year recipients. Bellamy is one of the fastest players on the team and is at full health after suffering an ACL in week 2 last season at Illinois.

Western Michigan FOOTBALL

Quarterback Western Michigan enters a familiar, albeit new, era under-center in 2017. The Broncos have been used to a lineage of four-year start-ers at quarterback and recently had the latest four-year QB graduate as Zach Terrell ended his WMU career in 2016-17 as the all-time lead-ing passer in program history. Terrell finished his career with 12,104 passing yards from 2013-16 and with 96 career TD passes, second most at Western Michigan. This territory is one the Broncos have grown accustomed to having to replace legendary quarterbacks, dating back to when current head coach Tim Lester was setting records from 1996-99. Lester ended his career with 11,299 passing yards and 87 career TD passes, both third most at Western Michigan. Lester was succeeded by future quarterbacks such as Tim Hiller (2005-09) and Alex Carder (2009-12) before Terrell took the reins for the last four years. Now Lester will be charged with grooming the next leader for the Bronco offense. The top choice for the 2017 season is redshirt sophomore Jon Wassink. Wassink has yet to see the field, but was highly heralded coming out of Grand Rapids Christian in 2015. He was a three-star prospect coming out of high school and was ranked No. 33 in the state by the Detroit News. He racked up 34 total touchdowns with 2,178 passing yards while rushing for 900 yards in 2014. Freshman Reece Goddard has emerged as the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart. Goddard broke Jeremy Maclin’s record with 44 touchdowns, leading Kirkwood, Mo., to the Class 6 state championship. Providing depth for the Broncos will be redshirt sophomore Alex Mussat who trans-ferred from Illinois prior to last season and redshirt freshman Brendan Tabone.

Running back The most important thing for a young quarterback to have is a running game to help lean on as the passing game gains experience. Good news for the Broncos that their backfield was ranked No. 7 in the country this summer by Bleacher Report. Jarvion Franklin enters 2017 as the all-time leader for rushing touchdowns at Western Michigan with 41. He is also among the top active running backs in the country entering 2017 in both yards and touchdowns. He ranks second in the nation with his 41 rushing TDs, and third in the country with 3,639. Last year against Akron, Franklin set the WMU single-game rushing re-cord with 281 yards against the Zips. He finished the season with 1,300 yards and 12 TDs. Jamauri Bogan was in and out of the lineup in 2016, missing six games in MAC play with a hurt ankle. He made his impact felt when he was healthy, leading the Broncos to their 38-0 win over Illinois with 24 carries for 189 yards and two TDs in Champaign. Following his injury he came back in the regular season finale to carry the ball a career-high 31 times for 198 yards and a touch-down vs. Toledo. Bogan ended the season with 179 carries for 923 yards and eight touchdowns. He now ranks sixth at Western Michigan with 24 career TDs. LeVante Bellamy was hurt in the aforemen-tioned game against Illinois. Prior to the injury he had 20 carries for 133 yards and a touchdown, good for a yards per carry average of 6.7. His performance in the spring has elevated him atop the depth chart of what is a crowded backfield. Getting his most extensive playing time to date last season was redshirt sophomore Davon Tucker. Tucker played in 10 games, carrying the ball 44 times for 210 yards including his first ca-reer touchdown vs. UNC Central. He eclipsed 50 yards in back-to-back games against Northern Illinois and Akron. Blocking for the backs will be returner Leo Ekwoge who led the Broncos to convert four straight 4th-and-1 situations in the season open-er vs. Northwestern last year. Joining the ranks this fall will be Prince Walker who led his team to the state champion-ship in 2015 after rushing for 1,399 yards and 22 touchdowns.

Wide Receiver Much like the quarterback position, the Broncos will be looking to replace a legend at wide receiver. Corey Davis became the all-time leading receiver in college football history with 5,285 receiving yards and is second in the history of the game with 52 touchdowns. Those accolades led him to become the No. 5 pick in the NFL Draft in April, as he was taken by the Tennessee Titans. Along with losing Davis, the Broncos must also replace starters Michael Henry and Carrington Thompson who combined for 105 catches, 1,416 yards and 10 touchdowns. With departures comes opportunity and there is no shortage of candidates to take over the roles vacated by the three aforementioned receivers. The Broncos return 59 catches from a year ago for about 600 yards and four touch-downs. The leading receiver out of that bunch is actually running back Jarvion Franklin who had 25 catches for 288 yards and two TDs. Sopho-more D’Wayne Eskridge leads the effort among those slotted for wide receiver after totaling 17 catches for 121 yards and a touchdown as a true freshman. He was also used out of the slot on jet sweeps, carrying the ball six times for 60 yards. Eskridge scored the opening touchdown of the 2016 season on an end-around route at North-western. Keishawn Watson is a redshirt sophomore who had an impressive catch last year in the rivalry game at Central Michigan. Watson was able to convert a 3rd-and-7 from the slot for 16 yards, leading the Broncos to their first score en route to a 49-10 win in Mount Pleasant. Watson is slated for the slot receiver role, which has high standards after previously being held by Daniel Braverman and Henry. Fellow redshirt sophomores Anton Curtis and Givoanni Ricci will join the group of those who played last season. Ricci is one of the bigger receivers on the roster at 6-3, 205 pounds. Curtis has had his standout moments in practice and is currently a leader to fill the spot left by Davis. Redshirt freshman Ra’Sean Davie has also cracked the opening weekend two-deep behind Watson. Other redshirt freshmen looking to make a name for themselves is Rodney Graves, Hunter Broersma, and Jaret Cutis. Coming in this fall to provide immediate competition will be a group of tall receivers. Tyron Arnett, Jaylen Hall and Luke Sanders are each over 6-1 while a fourth receiver, Ryan Lezzer stands at 5-11, coming from Clearfield, Pa., where he was named All-State after playing both on offense and defense.

POSITION BREAKDOWN



Offensive Line/Tight End WMU will be faced with the task of replacing an NFL offensive lineman for the second straight year after senior Taylor Moton was selected by the Caroli-na Panthers in the second round of April’s NFL Draft. Moton’s tenure in the NFL begins a year after the Broncos had Willie Beavers drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the fourth round of the 2016 draft. Fortunately for the Broncos, they could poten-tially have the best offensive lineman in recent his-tory still on the team. Senior left tackle Chukwuma “Chukes” Okorafor was ranked as the No. 4 tackle entering the 2017 season by Mel Kiper. Okorafor measures in at 6-6, 330 pounds and was a First-Team All-MAC selection in 2016. Okorafor anchors a line that was ranked No. 4 in the country last season by Pro Football Focus. The brains of the operation up front is junior center John Keenoy. Keenoy has started nearly every game each of his first two seasons. He was named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List in May following a season in which he was named a Sec-ond-Team All-MAC selection. He boasts a 3.7 GPA, good enough to be selected for the 2016 Academic All-MAC Team and a 2016 Distinguished Scholar Athlete. The third returner along the offensive line will be right guard sophomore Luke Juriga who started all 14 games last season. He was part of a group that allowed the Broncos to rush for over 300 yards three times last season and allow just 16 sacks, 13th fewest in the country. There will be a number of contenders to fill the spots left by Moton and left guard Jackson Day. First in line to take the place of Moton at right tackle entering will be Zach Novoselsky. The 6-5 redshirt junior from Lincolnshire, Ill., played in all 14 games last season on special teams. The other newcomer on the line following spring practice is Curtis Doyle. Another 6-5 redshirt junior, Doyle played in three games each of the last two seasons. The Broncos have a plethora of redshirt fresh-men waiting for their opportunity including Jordan Asbury, Mark Brooks, Mike Caliendo, Spencer Kanz and Jaylon Moore who each came in last season. Veterans waiting in the wings include 6-6 Jonathan Todd, Wesley French and Alex Keys. WMU will be joined this fall by newcomers Trevor Campbell, Dylan Deatherage, Zenden Del-linger, Mohammad Elazazy and Tom O’Mara. Assisting in the blocking up front will be the tight end group led by all-conference tight end Don-nie Ernsberger who also got into the passing game towards the end of the season with over 100 yards. He is backed up by veterans Odell Miller and Lucas Bezerra along with redshirt freshmen Brett Borske and Mitch Heimbuch.

Defensive Line The Broncos’ defensive line is the third unit on the team that will be looking to replace an NFL draft pick as Keion Adams was a sev-enth round selection in April to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He led the MAC in 2016 in tackles for loss with 18.0 while recording 7.5 sacks. His departure along with that of nose tackle David Curle gives the team two spots to fill along the front four. The primary player who will be looking to fill Adams’ shoes will be junior Eric Assoua who had 6.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks last season. His breakout game came against Illinois where he had 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble. He also added two of the team’s eight sacks at rival Central Michigan. The other returner on the defensive line is tackle Andre Turner. He had 35 tackles and 4.0 tackles for loss to go along with 2.0 sacks providing an inside rush. He joined in the sack fest at Central, picking up his first sack of the year, one of seven total tackles. Candidates to fill the spots vacated by Adams and Curle are Nick Matich inside and Antonio Balabani on the end. Matich missed last season with an injury. He totaled 16 tackles as a freshman in 2014. Balabani played in spot duty last season. Players hoping to see more extensive time on the field this year are ends DeShawn Foster and Daniel Jackson along with tackles Ken Finley, Ken Aguirre and Kailen Guillory. Finley and Aguirre each provide size in the middle with Finley coming in at 6-2 290 pounds while Aguirre is 6-1 300 pounds. Guillory is the tallest of the group, standing at 6-5. The Broncos will have a lot of options from the incoming freshmen as well. Ali Fayad is an end from Dearborn where he had 17.0 sacks last season. Ralph Holley is one of the bigger freshman at 6-2, 270 pounds. He led St. Mary’s Prep to three straight state championships.

Linebackers Like the running backs mentioned for the offense, Western Michigan’s most stable position on defense is the linebacking core that could fea-ture three seniors starting. Robert Spillane, who made two of the most iconic plays in program history, forcing a goal-line fumble at the end of the game in the season-opener at Northwestern and intercepting a pass in the final seconds to clinch the MAC Championship vs. Ohio, will be back for his fourth season. He joins Caleb Bailey and Asantay Brown in the team’s 4-3 setup. Spillane finished the season with a team-high 111 tackles, including 10.5 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks. His interception vs. Ohio was one of three on the year for him. He ended the season being named to the All-MAC Second-Team and was MAC Defensive Player of the Week four times. Brown joined Spillane with another memora-ble interception on the season. Facing Toledo in a battle of undefeated teams in MAC play in the regular season finale, Brown picked off a Rocket pass on the first play from scrimmage and took it back 21 yards for a touchdown. He made the conversion from safety to linebacker last fall and acclimated nicely, finishing the 2016 season with 95 tackles, second most on the team. He also had 8.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. Bailey continued his steady play through his first three seasons. A year after being among the tops in the MAC in tackles for loss, Bailey also generated sacks to his resume, getting one in each of the first two games of the season. His third sack of the season came in the Cotton Bowl vs. Wisconsin. He ended the year fourth on the team with 71 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss and the 3.0 sacks. Two players who will be right behind the starting three will be redshirt sophomore Alex Grace who can fill multiple positions in the line-backing core along with one of the best athletes on the team in sophomore Drake Spears. Grace played in 12 games last season, totaling 12 tackles and a tackle for loss. Spears started as a special teams ace before seeing time in base defense later in the season.

POSITION BREAKDOWN



Defensive Backs The third level of the defense, the sec-ondary, was a big reason the Broncos led the nation in turnover margin last season at +18. The group finished the season with 15 inter-ceptions, 22nd most in the country. Leading the charge was Darius Phillips who had four to lead all Broncos. Three of those interceptions were returned for touchdowns, giving him four for his career. Both his single season and career marks are MAC records. Phillips is one of three returning starters in the secondary, joining fellow cornerback, junior Sam Beal and redshirt sophomore safety Justin Tranquill. Beal provides one of the bigger frames in the MAC for a cornerback, standing at 6-1. He had eight pass breakups last season. Tranquill was third on the team in tackles in his first season of extensive playing time, totaling 89 tackles to go along with 2.0 tackles for loss. He also stood out in the classroom as he was named a 2016 Distinguished Scholar Athlete. Joining the three aforementioned starters in the secondary will be redshirt sophomore Davotae Ginwright who had three starts of his own last season. Ginwright burst on the scene in the season opener at Northwestern with three pass breakups. He provides length at safety, measuring at 6-2. Looking to push the starters will be corners Emanuel Jackson and Obbie Jackson. Obbie played in the nickel packages last year and will battle with Beal for the starting spot opposite Phillips. In his 14 games last year Ob-bie registered four pass breakups. Backing up the safeties will be a pair of sophomores in Stefan Claiborne and Brad Tan-ner who were able to see the field in their first year on campus last season. Claiborne played in nine games while Tanner played in 12 games. Both registered six tackles.

Special Teams Along with being a leader for the Bronco secondary, senior Darius Phillips is also a leader for the team’s special teams unit. He was named the 2016 MAC Special Teams Player of the Year after returning a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown. He now has four kickoff returns for a touchdown in his career while the punt return for a TD came in just his second career opportunity. For the season Phillips averaged 22.5 yards per kick return and 11.7 yards per punt return. The team also returns its punter/hold-er from last season in redshirt junior Derrick Mitchell who was an Academic All-MAC selec-tion. The former professional baseball player had 17 punts for an average of 41.3 yards last season as he split duties with James Coleman who graduated. Mitchell also served as the team’s primary kickoff specialist when healthy, as he totaled 21 touchbacks in 58 attempts. Mitchell will be holding for a new kicker on field goal attempts this season following the departure of freshman Butch Hampton who was named a freshman all-american after going 5-for-5 in the MAC Championship on field goal attempts. Western Michigan signed Josh Grant from Flower Mound, Texas in February and should be in good position to replace Hampton’s productivity from last season as Grant was ranked the No. 9 kicker in the nation coming out of high school. Providing Grant with competition will be Austin Regan who served as the kicker for the team during spring practice. Regan has been on the team for each of the last three seasons and has a strong leg. Leading the field goal operation is long snapper Wyatt Pfeifer who is entering his senior year. He has been the snapper for every game each of the last three seasons and was an All-MAC nominee last season.

Coaching Staff Returning to Kalamazoo for his third term as a Bronco is the newest head coach of Western Michigan, Tim Lester. Lester was a quarterback from WMU from 1996-99 where he put up the third most passing yards in program history (11,299) and the third most TD passes with 87. Following graduation he came back in 2005 as a quarterback coach. He has also been a head coach at Saint Joseph’s and Elmhurst College prior to being a quarterback coach/of-fensive coordinator at Syracuse and Purdue. As a head coach at Saint Joseph’s and Elmhurst he had a combined record of 40-23. Lester’s favorite passing target while play-ing was tight end Jake Moreland and Moreland now also comes back to WMU for his third stint as a Bronco. He also played from 1996-99 and then was the tight ends coach for the team from 2005-11. Upon leaving WMU in 2011 he was the tight ends coach at Syracuse and Air Force. He will now serve as co-offensive coor-dinator/offensive line coach for the Broncos. Other former assistant coaches to return to Western Michigan are Tim Daoust (DC) and Lou Esposito (Co-DC/DL). Daoust was an assistant at WMU from 2006-09 before going to Syracuse and most recently Ball State where he was defensive coordinator. Esposito was in Kalamazoo from 2010-12 and then went on to become the first head coach in the history of Davenport University. New faces to the program include offen-sive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Kevin Johns who was the OC at Indiana. While there the Hoosiers became the fourth team in FBS history with a 3,500 yard passer, two 1,000-yard rushers and one 1,000-yard receiver. Running backs coach Eric Evans comes to the Broncos from Dayton where he was offensive coordinator for three years. He led the Flyers to a 19-4 record over the past two seasons and finished top-10 in numerous offen-sive categories. Wide receivers coach Ashton Aikens was most recently at Southern Illinois for three seasons. He played his college ball at North-western hauling in 70 receptions for 733 yards. Defensive backs coach Cory Sanders played for Lester at Saint Joseph’s College. He was most recently the defensive coordinator for West Florida where the team ranked 11th in the country. He was head coach for his alma mater in 2011, leading the Pumas to a 24-19 record. Familiar faces staying on with the Broncos include Bill Kenney (TE) and David Duggan (LB/ST). Kenney has been with the Broncos since 2013 while Duggan came prior to the start of last season.

TIM LESTERhead coach1ST SEASONWESTERN MICHIGAN, 2000

Tim Lester was named the 16th head football coach in Western Michigan history on Friday, Jan. 13, 2017. Lester has risen through the coaching ranks after completing a Hall of Fame playing career at Western Michigan. Lester was a four-year starter at quarterback at WMU from 1996-99, leading the Broncos to a Mid-American Conference championship appearance his senior season. Lester also made a stop as an assistant coach at his alma mater during the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Lester began his coaching career in 2003 and most recently was the quarterbacks coach at Purdue this past season where he men-tored sophomore signal-caller David Blough. Blough threw for 25 touchdowns and 3,352 yards, averaging over 279 yards passing a game in 2016. Lester came to the Boilermakers from Syracuse, where he served as quarterbacks coach from 2013 to 2015 and doubled as offensive coordinator in 2014 and 2015 as well.

Prior to working at Syracuse, Lester was the head coach at Division III Elmhurst (Illinois) College from 2008 to 2012. Over five seasons, he posted a 33-19 record for a .635 winning percentage, second highest in school history. In his final season in 2012, he led the Blue Jays to a 10-2 record and a CCIW conference championship as well as Elmhurst’s first-ever NCAA playoff appearance. It was just the third championship in school history and the first title since 1980. Lester was named the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Coach of the Year that season.

Lester served as an assistant at North Central College (2007) and Elmhurst (2002-03). He was the head coach at Division II Saint Jo-seph’s College in 2004, leading the Pumas to a five-game improve-ment his first season from the year prior (2-9 to 7-4 record) on his way to Independent Football Alliance Coach of the Year honors. In addition, Lester coached at the prep level, serving as offensive coordinator at Saint Benedict High School in 2001 and at his alma mater, Wheaton Warrenville South High School in 2000.

Lester began his playing career at Western Michigan earning MAC Freshman of the Year honors in 1996. He would be a Second Team All-MAC selection his junior and senior seasons.

Lester finished his WMU career ranked fourth in FBS history in pass-ing yards (11,299) and sixth in touchdown passes (89). Lester set 17 school passing records and eight MAC records. Following his senior season, in which he threw for 3,639 yards and 34 touchdowns, Les-ter participated in the 1999 Blue-Gray Classic. As an assistant coach at WMU he coached quarterback Tim Hiller to MAC Freshman of the Year accolades in 2005. Lester was WMU’s first QB to throw for over 11,000 career yards and Hiller went on to become the second.

After college, Lester played with the Chicago Enforcers of the XFL in 2001, the Nashville Kats and Carolina Cobras of the Arena Football League in 2001, and the Memphis Xplorers of the Arena Football League 2 in 2002.

A native of Wheaton, Ill., Lester earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Western Michigan in 2000. He was inducted into the Western Michigan Athletic Hall of Fame in 2011.

Tim is married to wife, Dawn, and has four sons - Quinn, who will be a freshman men’s volleyball player at Ball State in 2017-18, as well as three grade-school age sons - Cooper, Carter and Camden.

2017 MAC PRESEASON POLL


Western Michigan FOOTBALLELECTRIFYING RETURNS• Cornerback Darius Phillips provided electricity in 2016, returning a kickoff, punt, and three interceptions for touch-downs. He was named MAC Special Teams Player of the Year.

• His 75-yard interception return against Ball State gave him three for the season and four for his career, both are Western Michigan program records.

• He is also the first player in Western Michigan history to score five non offen-sive TDs in a season.

• All three of Phillips’ pick-sixes in 2016 were 70+ yards, beginning with a 70-yard return vs. Georgia Southern before taking back an 85-yard interception vs. Central Michigan. The 85-yard pick-six is the third of Phillips’ career and is the third-longest in the country this season.

• Against Georgia Southern, Phillips returned his third career kickoff for a touchdown, and his second of 100-yards after also doing so against then #5 ranked Michigan State in 2015.

• After earning All-America honors as a kick returner in 2014, Phillips fielded his first punts on Sept. 10 vs. North Carolina Central, returning the second punt of his career 66 yards for the first punt return TD by a Bronco since Greg Jennings in 2004.
