<strong>2009</strong> Sa<strong>in</strong>ts Football Outlook<br />
The St. Lawrence University football<br />
team enters <strong>2009</strong> <strong>com</strong><strong>in</strong>g off of an <strong>in</strong>juryplagued<br />
2008 season. The Sa<strong>in</strong>ts saw ten<br />
starters miss time throughout the 2008<br />
campaign, but beh<strong>in</strong>d a group of veterans<br />
that <strong>in</strong>cludes 32 seniors and a young<br />
nucleus of talent, the Scarlet and Brown<br />
have much to be excited about when the<br />
season kicks off <strong>in</strong> September.<br />
Head coach Chris Phelps’ team<br />
returns eight of the team’s 11 offensive<br />
starters this season, while Defensive<br />
Coord<strong>in</strong>ator Kev<strong>in</strong> Farr’s unit wel<strong>com</strong>es<br />
back seven of 11 starters <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Pre-<br />
Season All-American Gerard Bryant.<br />
“We have a solid blend of seasoned<br />
veterans, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g our largest senior<br />
class, play<strong>in</strong>g alongside some highly talented<br />
players who are look<strong>in</strong>g to make an<br />
immediate impact at the collegiate level,”<br />
said Coach Phelps. “Our team selected<br />
four players with outstand<strong>in</strong>g character<br />
to serve as capta<strong>in</strong>s this season, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Connor Hackett, Gerard Bryant, Mike<br />
Battaglia and McLean Beyor. We’re<br />
look<strong>in</strong>g to improve upon our mark from<br />
last season and <strong>com</strong>pete with some of the<br />
best football programs <strong>in</strong> the country <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>2009</strong>.”<br />
OFFENSE<br />
St. Lawrence graduated two All-Conference<br />
offensive l<strong>in</strong>emen, Tim LaRose<br />
and Chris Lutgens. The Sa<strong>in</strong>ts will also<br />
need to replace lead<strong>in</strong>g receiver Ryan<br />
Cooney, who earned All-Conference<br />
honors, and capta<strong>in</strong> Carl Festa, a former<br />
All-conference player who missed several<br />
games due to <strong>in</strong>jury <strong>in</strong> 2008. With Offensive<br />
Coord<strong>in</strong>ator Chuck Leierer call<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the plays, the unit will be led by capta<strong>in</strong>s<br />
McLean Beyor <strong>in</strong> the trenches and Connor<br />
Hackett out of the backfi eld.<br />
OFFENSIVE LINE<br />
The Sa<strong>in</strong>ts will undoubtedly miss<br />
LaRose and Lutgens up front, but will<br />
build around a trio of senior starters<br />
that <strong>in</strong>cludes Beyor (5-10, 250, Black<br />
River, NY), Just<strong>in</strong> Wacenske (5-10, 245,<br />
Rochester, NY) and Jon Thomas (6-3,<br />
245, North Sutton, NH). The group also<br />
<strong>in</strong>cludes fi ve other seniors, headl<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
by Rob Kunces (6-4, 245, Darien, CT).<br />
Junior Shane Hoffman (6-2, 265, South<br />
Salem, NY) and sophomores Oscar Rodriguez<br />
(6-4, 255, Palm City, FL) and<br />
Senior Connor Hackett (above) will jo<strong>in</strong><br />
classmate Eric Jones as the Sa<strong>in</strong>ts’ primary<br />
threats out of the backfi eld <strong>in</strong> <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
JP Calero (6-2, 245, Port Chester, NY)<br />
are also poised to challenge for start<strong>in</strong>g<br />
roles <strong>in</strong> <strong>2009</strong>. Offensive l<strong>in</strong>e coach<br />
Chuck Leierer is excited about the talent<br />
level of the <strong>in</strong><strong>com</strong><strong>in</strong>g class, anchored<br />
by Dan Rohauer (6-4, 245, Alden, NY),<br />
John Van Haaren (6-2, 265, Elmont,<br />
NY), Greg Kelly (5-11, 250, Syracuse,<br />
NY) and Ryan LaHue (5-11, 255, Coral<br />
Spr<strong>in</strong>gs, FL).<br />
QUARTERBACK<br />
The Sa<strong>in</strong>ts return each of their<br />
options at quarterback from <strong>2009</strong>,<br />
<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g junior JP Kearney (6-0, 185,<br />
Lafl <strong>in</strong>, PA), who handled the start<strong>in</strong>g<br />
role throughout the majority of<br />
his sophomore year. In n<strong>in</strong>e games,<br />
Kearney <strong>com</strong>pleted 163-of-301 passes<br />
for 1,716 yards and seven touchdowns.<br />
Classmate Michael Baraldi (6-0, 185,<br />
Chelmsford, MA) will look to rega<strong>in</strong><br />
the start<strong>in</strong>g job hav<strong>in</strong>g lost it to <strong>in</strong>jury<br />
last fall. Meanwhile, sophomore Andy<br />
Spadoni (5-11, 195, Webster, NY) may<br />
be a player to keep an eye on dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g camp, as he had an outstand<strong>in</strong>g<br />
fi rst year campaign and spr<strong>in</strong>g season.<br />
RUNNINGBACKS<br />
Capta<strong>in</strong> Connor Hackett (6-2, 200,<br />
Bronxville, NY) returns for his senior<br />
season after miss<strong>in</strong>g much of <strong>2009</strong> due<br />
to a hamper<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>jury. Hackett was an<br />
All-Conference player as a sophomore<br />
and boasts both power and speed that<br />
makes him one of the Sa<strong>in</strong>ts’ primary<br />
offensive weapons, hav<strong>in</strong>g totaled 20 career<br />
touchdowns <strong>in</strong> 24 collegiate games.<br />
Fellow senior Eric Jones (5-10, 210,<br />
Watertown, NY) burst onto the scene <strong>in</strong><br />
Hackett’s absence last year at tailback as<br />
well as at fullback. Jones landed on the<br />
Liberty League’s Second Team offense<br />
hav<strong>in</strong>g piled up a team-high 638 yards<br />

TIGHT END<br />
Senior Donovan Edwards (6-1,<br />
240, Ha<strong>in</strong>es city, FL), the 2008 start<strong>in</strong>g<br />
tight end, returns for his fi nal season <strong>in</strong><br />
Canton, NY. Edwards proved to be a<br />
valuable blocker <strong>in</strong> the runn<strong>in</strong>g game<br />
and could see more passes thrown his<br />
way <strong>in</strong> <strong>2009</strong>. Meanwhile, junior Tim<br />
Rob<strong>in</strong>son (6-2, 220, Voorheesville, NY)<br />
will be <strong>in</strong> the mix for play<strong>in</strong>g time as will<br />
senior Dan DePuccio (6-1, 190, Troy,<br />

size and strength to develop <strong>in</strong>to a solid<br />
future option at tight end.<br />
WIDE RECEIVER<br />
The graduation of Ryan Cooney and<br />
Hakiem Greenhut leaves several question<br />
marks surround<strong>in</strong>g the team’s corps<br />
of wide receivers. However, Coach<br />
Phelps believes this position is where<br />
the most surprises may <strong>com</strong>e <strong>in</strong> <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
Converted quarterback Mike Wayne (5-<br />
11, 175, Fairport, NY), who fi nished the<br />
2008 season with an 11-reception game<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st WPI, is <strong>com</strong><strong>in</strong>g off of an impressive<br />
spr<strong>in</strong>g season and will be a player to<br />
watch this fall. The team is also excited<br />
about the return of sophomore Ethan<br />
Sutton (5-9, 175, South Paris, ME), who<br />
provides big play capability downfi eld.<br />
The duo will jo<strong>in</strong> return<strong>in</strong>g starters Anthony<br />
Patterson (5-9, 165, Lockport, NY)<br />
and Rick Stepien (6-0, 185, Youngstown,<br />
NY), who add experience and reliable<br />
targets <strong>in</strong> the pass<strong>in</strong>g game. If junior<br />
Alcee Walker (5-9, 160, West Palm<br />
Beach, FL) can build on his solid spr<strong>in</strong>g<br />
ball performance, opponents will have<br />
to respect his speed and ability to stretch<br />

2008 Sa<strong>in</strong>ts Football Outlook<br />
DEFENSE<br />
The Sa<strong>in</strong>ts’ defensive unit graduated<br />
six starters <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g All-Conference<br />
honorees Devaun McFarland and Andy<br />
Welkley. The 2008 season was highlighted<br />
by the emergence of Gerard Bryant on<br />
to the national scene, as the White Pla<strong>in</strong>s,<br />
NY, native was a First Team All-American<br />
and was named CDS’ <strong>2009</strong> Pre-Season<br />
Defensive Player of the Year. However,<br />
Bryant, a capta<strong>in</strong> along with senior<br />
Mike Battaglia, will be surrounded on<br />
the defensive side of the ball by several<br />
playmakers who ga<strong>in</strong>ed valuable play<strong>in</strong>g<br />
experience last fall.<br />
DEFENSIVE END<br />
Despite the losses of Charles Haydock<br />
and Jonathan Edwards along the<br />
defensive front, the Sa<strong>in</strong>ts return several<br />
quality players who are ready to make<br />
an impact at defensive end. Seniors Tom<br />
Lagos (5-11, 240, Watertown, NY) and<br />
Matt DePuccio (6-1, 190, Troy, NY) and<br />
juniors Nate Howard (6-0, 210, Durham,<br />
NH) and Chris Palmer (6-0, 215, Portsmouth,<br />
RI) each saw action last season<br />
and will work to build on their quality<br />
game-time experience. Add<strong>in</strong>g depth to<br />
the Sa<strong>in</strong>ts’ roster <strong>in</strong> their rookie years <strong>in</strong>clude<br />
Jesse Clark (6-2, 245, Ticonderoga,<br />
NY), Mike Gormley (6-2, 205, Ballston<br />
Spa, NY) and Rob McCourt (6-3, 210,<br />
Scituate, MA).<br />
DEFENSIVE TACKLE<br />
St. Lawrence will rely on the strong<br />
<strong>in</strong>terior play of Gerard Bryant (6-0, 240,<br />
White Pla<strong>in</strong>s, NY) and fellow starter<br />
junior Just<strong>in</strong> Vega (6-2, 260, Syracuse,<br />
NY). Bryant’s monster 2008 season<br />
<strong>in</strong>cluded 97 tackles, 56 of which were<br />
solo stops, and a conference-best 20.0<br />
tackles for a loss. Vega became a regular<br />
along the defensive l<strong>in</strong>e and chipped <strong>in</strong><br />
10 tackles. The position is one <strong>in</strong> which<br />
the Sa<strong>in</strong>ts return all of their contributors<br />
from a year ago, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g seniors<br />
Jordan Lewis (6-3, 270, Taberg, NY)<br />
and Christian Lopez (6-4, 300, Highland<br />
Mills, NY), junior AJ Walsh (5-11, 255,<br />
Spr<strong>in</strong>gvale, ME) and sophomore Doug<br />
Geraghty (6-3, 250, Selden, NY).<br />

LINEBACKERS<br />
Senior starters Gabe McBride and<br />
Gabe Colas will jo<strong>in</strong> capta<strong>in</strong> Mike<br />
Battaglia <strong>in</strong> work<strong>in</strong>g to replace former<br />
capta<strong>in</strong> Chuck Bradway at the <strong>in</strong>terior<br />
l<strong>in</strong>ebacker position. McBride was the<br />
team’s second-lead<strong>in</strong>g tackler with 66<br />
stops while Colas made 20 solo tackles<br />
and added 4.0 for a loss. The duo, along<br />
with Battaglia, will be jo<strong>in</strong>ed by seniors<br />
Brett Hart (5-11, 200, Barre, VT) and<br />
Travis Castleman (5-11, 200, Hast<strong>in</strong>gs,<br />
NY), juniors Ryan Fedo (5-11, 190,<br />
Warwick, RI) and Andrew Leiser (6-1,<br />
220, Bar Harbor, ME) and sophomores<br />
Phil Hamilton (5-9, 210, W<strong>in</strong>throp, MA)<br />
and Sam Fulmer (6-2, 200, Rye, NY) at<br />
<strong>in</strong>side l<strong>in</strong>ebacker.<br />
At the outside spot, senior Steve<br />
Degree (6-2, 190, Williston, VT) will<br />
<strong>com</strong>pete alongside juniors Ben Cryts (6-<br />
2, 200, Derry, NH) and George Cuchural<br />
(5-9, 185, H<strong>in</strong>gham, MA) for the start<strong>in</strong>g<br />
gig left by Josh Miller, who graduated<br />
last spr<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
SAFETIES<br />
Senior Luke Lewis (5-10, 185,<br />
Oxford, NY) will look to step <strong>in</strong>to the<br />
start<strong>in</strong>g free safety role this season with<br />
the graduation of Michael Bruno. Lewis<br />
will be challenged for play<strong>in</strong>g time by<br />
Sam Crossan (5-9, 185, Wenham, MA)<br />
and Dillon Huntley (5-10, 170, Canton,<br />
NY) and sophomore Trevor Saunders<br />
(5-10, 185, Mount Vernon, NY). A versatile<br />
player to watch <strong>in</strong> the secondary<br />
will be rookie Edgar Rojas (5-10, 190,<br />
North Miami Beach, FL).<br />
Replac<strong>in</strong>g three-time All-Conference<br />
safety Andy Welkley will be diffi cult for<br />
Defensive Coord<strong>in</strong>ator Kev<strong>in</strong> Farr, but<br />
he has several options at the safety spot.<br />
The frontrunner for the position is junior<br />
Wendell Caesar (5-10, 190, Brooklyn,<br />
NY).<br />
CORNERBACKS<br />
St. Lawrence will look to fi ll the void<br />
<strong>in</strong> the secondary left by two-time All-<br />
Conference corner Devaun McFarland.<br />
However, due to McFarland’s <strong>in</strong>jury<br />
last season, the Sa<strong>in</strong>ts were able to work<br />
Andrew Williams (5-11, 170, Miami,<br />
FL) and Louis Jenk<strong>in</strong>s (5-9, 165, Fort<br />
Lauderdale, FL) <strong>in</strong>to the start<strong>in</strong>g roles.<br />
Christian Bianchi (5-10, 175, Pittsfi eld,<br />
MA) had a remarkable spr<strong>in</strong>g campaign<br />
and launched himself <strong>in</strong>to the <strong>com</strong>petition<br />
for play<strong>in</strong>g time <strong>in</strong> his sophomore<br />
year.<br />
Meanwhile, sophomores Jarell Roberts<br />
(5-9, 175, Al Tamonte Spr<strong>in</strong>gs, FL)<br />
and Just<strong>in</strong> Eaddy (6-0, 170, Fort Lauderdale,<br />
FL) will also be <strong>in</strong> the mix at the<br />
cornerback spot. With the Sa<strong>in</strong>ts cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to build for the future, the coach<strong>in</strong>g<br />
staff has added Zach Choquette (6-2,<br />
180, Mattapoisett, MA), Aaron Lawton<br />
(5-10, 180, Rosl<strong>in</strong>dale, MA), James<br />
Stephens (5-9, 165, Brooksville, FL) and<br />
Derek Delzer (5-10, 160, Alden, NY).<br />
SPECIAL TEAMS<br />
The graduation of start<strong>in</strong>g kicker and<br />
punter Matt Popov will put the spotlight<br />
squarely on Chris Dris (5-9, 165, New<br />
Port Richey, FL), an outstand<strong>in</strong>g prospect<br />
out of Clearwater Central Catholic.<br />
The Sa<strong>in</strong>ts’ return game will be<br />
anchored by sophomore Trevor Saunders,<br />
who became a staple <strong>in</strong> the team’s<br />
special teams unit last year. Saunders<br />
averaged a team-high 15.0 yards per<br />
punt return <strong>in</strong> 2008 and went for 18.6<br />
yards per kickoff return. Senior Anthony<br />
Patterson and junior Louis Jenk<strong>in</strong>s add<br />
experience <strong>in</strong> the return game as well, as<br />
the group works to earn the offense quality<br />
fi eld position.<br />
The senior trio of Gabe McBride (center),<br />
Gabe Colas (left) and Andrew Williams (right)<br />
will help to add veteran leadership to the<br />
Sa<strong>in</strong>ts’ defense this season.

world, ga<strong>in</strong> cross-cultural skills and prepare to be responsible global citizens. The Sa<strong>in</strong>ts’ football program has seen players both past and present<br />
take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to explore different regions of the world and receive a unique perspective and experience.<br />
“With our traditional play<strong>in</strong>g season tak<strong>in</strong>g place <strong>in</strong> the fall, an opportunity is created which allows those students look<strong>in</strong>g to have a seriously<strong>com</strong>petitive<br />
football career while enjoy<strong>in</strong>g an <strong>in</strong>ternational experience to do so,” said Head Football Coach Chris Phelps. “I’ve found that some<br />
of our highly-motivated student-athletes have managed to balance both their rigorous athletic obligations with challeng<strong>in</strong>g academic programs.<br />
Their dedication to both made them prime candidates to study with<strong>in</strong> the global <strong>com</strong>munity.”<br />
The Center for International and Intercultural Studies (CIIS) aims to allow St. Lawrence students to extend <strong>in</strong>tellectual growth through an <strong>in</strong>tegration<br />
of classroom learn<strong>in</strong>g and cultural and l<strong>in</strong>guistic immersion while refl ect<strong>in</strong>g upon their own position <strong>in</strong> relation to those from different<br />
cultures and backgrounds <strong>in</strong> a world of uneven wealth and privilege. Students can choose from 16 different programs that allow them to study<br />

“Study<strong>in</strong>g abroad gave me perspective on global issues that I didn’t have before. It helped me grow as a person and will aid my career beyond<br />

be able to go to a different country for four months and receive credits towards my degree was such a valuable experience. England is so rich<br />
