When I reported to the Allen Center classroom for our Monday film session and watched Denison’s scrimmage on their home field I immediately flashed back to my freshman year. It was on that field that my college career as a Wabash football player began. It’s funny how much I can still recall about that day.  That prompted me to think about my four years here and everything that my fellow seniors and I have done since then in preparation for this season. Every workout, practice, and film session that we have gone through in order to be the best we can be. It is finally time for all of those things to pay off for us this season…

             With that said I can hardly put into words how excited I am for this season to get underway. For me and the rest of this senior class, this will begin the last season for us to strap it up on Saturday afternoons alongside our teammates and play the game we all love so much. I can’t wait to take the field this weekend in front of our students, faculty, parents, and fans to begin our pursuit of our fifth straight NCAC Championship in front of our home crowd at Byron P. Hollett Stadium. My experience here so far as a member of the Wabash College Football team has been incredible and I expect this year to be no different.  I can't wait for all our hard work to start paying off.  Our time has come... WAF!
