THE IUP Football Thread

[ShoNuff]

I'm sure Karst Hunter is pretty pleased. Derek Lockhart, Hilton Ridley and Quinn Zinoble is an incredible, experienced trio. Ironically, Lockhart lit up IUP in the past and Zinoble also had two big games against IUP. They've all three played a lot of D2 football (and some D1). The best part is none of them are your typical 'me first' WR diva types. They are all three pretty level-headed, humble players.

The 'speedster' group behind them is pretty intriguing as well. Isaiah Houser, Daniel Deabner and Omar Stewart would all three start at many other places.

There's two more WR transfers in Sebastian Campbell (Colorado Mesa) and Jack Goodrich (West Florida). Campbell is a possession-type WR and Goodrich is another big target in the 6'4" range.

Tort also has three really big TEs in Cole Laney (6'6", 247 lbs), Fairmont State transfer Tanner Krevokuch (6'5", 238 lbs) and Temple transfer Marcus Day (6'4", 242 lbs). We know Laney is very athletic for his size. We'll see the other two soon enough.

Man, the middle of the DL is rather small and young. I hope this does not affects Drew DiNunzio-Biss' productivity. I hope the D-Coord plan on rotating these guys in and out to keep them somewhat fresh.

Most likely 3 starting wideouts are a listed 6’3 according to roster. And that is not fabricated that is a definite. That could spell trouble in the west.

The official roster is posted.


Logan Danielson is listed. IUP has waited a long time to see him on the DL.

McLean Djouha is (as expected) now official. Quite a relief for the program to get a 6'7", 320 lb OL back with 30 career starts.

Randy Washington is listed at RB (formerly a DB).

Chance Battle (6'6", 355) is listed as a transfer OL from Lackawanna. Kelechi Okoro (6'4", 291) from Concord and Daric Cotman (6'4", 290) from UVA-Wise have both arrived.

I didn't see any 'surprise' additions. Seems like the board knew about everybody.

That roster is loaded. Now it's up to the coaching staff to make it work. No Dylan Grubb but whoever was doing the punting last year (Spitler, Andrasi?) did a really good job so I think punting is covered.

Absolutely. They’ve done a good job of marketing their program and make it look like a cool place to play. There was a time when you could forget Kutztown was even in the PSAC but those days are gone. Some of us will remember when Millersville and Bloomsburg were the big dogs on that side of the state.

And some of us remember when you played Shepherd for an easy win, but that started to turn around in the '90s.

Best coach in the East hands down will do that.

Didn't hurt that they had an NFL Hall of Fame guy their stadium is named after to attract attention to their program. They have had excellent coaching.

From Matt Burglund on Twitter at 8:10 AM:

”Per source, IUP starting OL McLean Djouha has been granted another year of eligibility. He’s played in 30 games the past 3 seasons.”

Great news if true.

That's great. Really important to the whole offense.

Like Kurt Angle would say “It’s true dam true”.

[Iupgh]

Gotta give Kutztown credit for what they've done the past 8-9 years. For years they were little more than an afterthought in the league. Even after losing the last four games in the series, Ship still has a 49-23 all-time edge against them. The Bears have really turned it around.

Best coach in the East hands down will do that.

That is incredible news. Major boost.

[IUPNation]

Then he and some of the IUP faithful should get along perfectly...

Irony really escapes you doesn’t it?

[WarriorVoice]

Was at Millersville prior to Shepherd. From what I understand they were not too excited about his maturity....

Then he and some of the IUP faithful should get along perfectly...

Wow, that’s absolutely huge news . That guy was a monster the past 3 seasons.
