Fall Camp Preview

The 2005 Beavers will be looking to improve upon the 6-4 record compiled during the 04 season.  We will be young once again on offense and look to strive for balance between pass and run and improve upon our ability to score more points.

The injury to 2004 ALL-DAC-10 senior running back Neil Graham (5'11-230 Edmonton, AB), will allow newcomers, Andre James, Manny Gutierrez and Quintin Jones to battle for the starting role. 

At quarterback, senior Jamar Culver - (6'4 220, Lancaster, CA) and red-shirt freshman, Ryan Jutras - (6'3 220, Surrey, BC) are battling for position along with freshmen Grant Windfaldet – (5'10 180, Crosby, ND) and Jon Meier – (6'4 180, Regent, ND) during two a days camp. 

The guys clearing the way to the end zone will feature some experience with 04 starters, ALL-DAC-10 junior - OT Max Milne - (6'4 285, Richey, MT), junior - OT Derek Molnar - (6'4 280, Regina, SK), sophomore - OG Ryan Rusznak - (6'1 270, Coquitlam, BC), junior - OC Josh Harvey - (6'5 320, Big Fork, MT), and three others with playing experience including, junior - OC Jon Drynan - (6'1 275, Helena, MT), sophomore - OG Matt Benson - (6'5 305, Lynden, WA.  Red shirt freshmen OC Jeff Bowen, OG Cody Barton, OG Lanny Bailey, and junior Joey Rohles, are all working to help lead the way in 2005!

Junior WR's Ronnie Patrick - (5'11 195, St. Louis, MO), Silas Sneed - (6'4 180, Gillette, WY), Mat Jenson – (6'3 195, Kenmare, ND), along with sophomore - Josh Kringen - (6'2 200, Sidney, MT) and sophomore Chauncy Hendershot - (6'2 185, Minot, ND) are working at re-tooling the Beaver passing game.

We are looking to improve on our scoring defense, turnover production, and time on the field.   We have some experience but will be looking for new people to step into certain roles defensively this fall.

The defense will once again be led by a very strong secondary.  Two time ALL-DAC-10 selection senior - DB Riley Price - (5'10 180, Blackfoot, ID), senior - DB Angelo Mitchell - (5'9 170, Pittsburg, CA), junior Kenny Mack - (5'11 198, Boise, ID), sophomore Corey Anderson - (6'1 175, Moses Lake, WA), and sophomore Brooks Lewis - (5'9 170, North Las Vegas, NV) will provide solid secondary play with junior Ricky Martinez - (5'10 190, Manteca, CA), sophomores Brandon Fjeld along with red-shirt Marcus Prince adding support!

At linebacker returning senior - Matt Spoonmore - (6' 215, Orange, CA), and ALL-DAC-10 selection junior - Shaun Sideris - (6'1 225, Sammamish, WA) will be charged with filling the gaps and stopping the opponents running game.   Add in Matt Weidler – 6' 230, Velva, ND, and other new recruits to the position for added depth.

The front line will be maintained by All-DAC-10 selection senior - DE Dexter Ross (6'2 250, Kanata, Ont), senior Robbie Hauptman (6'3 245, Billings, MT), junior Chase Spencer (6'2 240, Las Vegas, NV), sophomore Sean Ortiz (6'2 275, Whiterock, BC) with junior Tommy Molio'o, and red-shirt freshman Tyler Neether battling for starting positions.

Junior Marko Babic - (6'2 200, Windsor, Ont), will return for his third season to handle the punting and kicking duties.   Competing to replace Bacbic will be Mat Hagen – (6'2 190, Velva, ND) and Mike Fox – (6'2 175, Calgary, AB).
