SPRING PREVIEW
BULLS LOOKING TO BUILD ON POSITIVE 2006 CAMPAIGN
FOOTBALL
17 starters return for 2007 season
Head Coach Turner Gill’s sophomore
campaign is set to begin and UB fans are
hoping that the Bulls can build on a number
of positives that occurred last season.
Buffalo returns 23 players, including
eight starters to an offense that scored 220
points in 2006. It was the most points scored
in a season since moving to Division I-A. In
addition, the 201 points scored in conference play were the most of any team in the
Mid-American Conference’s East Division.
Buffalo returns even more experience
on the defensive side of the ball as 31 players, including nine starters return on defense.
Here’s a look by position at what Gill
and his staff will be evaluating this spring:
Junior Drew Willy (Randolph, NJ/Randolph) returns for his third season as the
Bulls’ starting quarterback. Willy started the
first eight games of the season before missing the final four games with a thumb injury.
He has fully recovered from the injury and
will look to improve on his already impressive numbers since taking the quarterbacking job as a true freshman in 2005.
Willy finished 138-for-231 for 1,391
yards and six touchdowns last fall. He only
threw six interceptions in 231 attempts. He
didn’t throw an interception in his first 131
attempts and was the last remaining starting quarterback in the nation to throw an
interception.
Willy had his best game of the season
against Ball State when he went 27-of-40
for 321 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The
321 yards were a career high and the
two touchdowns tied his career best. His
performance versus Ball State marked
the first time in four years that a UB quarterback eclipsed the 300-yard plateau in
passing.
With the departure of seniors, Tony
Paoli and Stewart Sampsel, Willy is the
Bulls’ lone returning quarterback for
spring drills. With that in mind, Gill has
decided to move sophomore Naaman
Roosevelt (Buffalo, NY/St. Joseph’s Collegiate) from wide receiver to quarterback, where the former Western New
York Player of the Year starred in high
school.
Roosevelt was the New York State
large school and Buffalo News co-Player
of the Year after amassing a staggering
3,452 all-purpose yards as a senior and
set a Western New York record by throwing 35 touchdown passes in just 10
games.
“There is competition at this position,” Gill said. “Drew is the starter going
in and Naaman will have his chance to

Quarterback
battle it out.”
Running Back
Even with a plethora of experienced
running backs on the roster in 2006,
James Starks (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Falls) was the back that made the
biggest impact last season. With the departure of three seniors, he will be relied
on to carry much of the load in the Bulls’
backfield in 2007. Last year, he led Buffalo with 704 yards on 175 carries and
scored six touchdowns and was named
second-team All-Mid-American Conference. Starks became the first UB freshman to earn All-League honors and just
the sixth Buffalo player to earn secondteam honors in the school’s eight-year
association with the MAC. He was also
named to The Sporting News Freshman
All-America Honorable Mention Team.
Da’Von McCune (Buffalo, NY/City
Honors) is the only other returning tailback that saw action last season. He had
three carries, including one for 10 yards
at Auburn.
Redshirt freshman Brandon Thermilus (Flower Mound, TX/Marcus) who
returns from an injury and sophomore
Mario Henry (Erie, PA/Strong Vincent)
will add depth to the backfield.
Chris Scharon (Salem, NH/Salem)
and Ike Nduka (White Plains, NY/White
JAMES STARKS

Plains) will battle for time at fullback after splitting time at the position last season.
“We need to find depth at the running back position,” Gill said. “At fullback
we need someone to step into the starting role.”
Wide Receiver
The wide receiver position is one of
the areas in which the Bulls return the
most experience. Buffalo returns five receivers that caught at least seven passes
last season.
Leading the way is Terrance Breaux
(Randallstown, MD/Randallstown) who
is the Bulls’ top returning receiver. The
senior wideout led all UB wide receivers
last year with 32 catches and 444 yards
receiving. His best game of the season
came at Northern Illinois where he had
eight catches for 104 yards and a touchdown. It was his second 100-yard receiving performance of his career making him only the fourth UB receiver to
have multiple 100-yard receiving games
since the Bulls returned to Division I-A in
1999.
Although he will see time at quarterback this spring, coach Gill knows
that he has a reliable option at receiver
in Roosevelt. As a freshman, Roosevelt
hauled in 31 balls for 429 yards and two
scores. He ranked second on the team,
averaging 35.8 yards per game receiving. He had seven catches for 72 yards
and a touchdown against Ball State and
seven catches for 53 yards at Akron.
Junior Ernest Jackson (Rochester,
NY/Gates-Chili) played in all 12 games
last season and had 11 receptions for
162 yards. He had five catches for 74
yards and a touchdown against Ball
State. His 14.7 yards-per-catch average
was second best on the team.
Junior Gary Rice (Hamilton, OH/
Hamilton) made a seamless transition
from defensive back to wide receiver
last season. Although his season was cut
short with an injury, he did have nine
catches for 64 yards over five games.
Brett Hamlin (Jupiter, FL/William
T. Dwyer) had seven catches over the
first three games before missing the remainder of the season with a foot injury.
He has recovered from the setback and
looks to return to form from his freshman campaign. As a freshman, Hamlin
led all UB receivers with 38 catches for
371 yards.
Sophomore Alex Pierre (Hackensack, NJ/Hackensack) and junior Brad
JAMEY RICHARD
Beggs (Clarion, PA/Clarion-Limestone)
each saw action last season and will add
depth and experience to the receiving
corps.
“We need to find the two starters
and at least two others who can make
plays,” Gill said.
Tight Ends
Finding a replacement for four-year
starter Chad Upshaw will be a top priority for coach Gill.
Junior
Robert Yealu (Cedar
Grove, NJ/Cedar Grove) and sophomore Jesse Rack (Maspeth, NY/
Christ the King) saw extensive time
on the field last season and should
be ready to move into a starting role.
Yealu had six catches for 97 yards
last season. His 16.2 yards-per-catch average was tops on the team.
Rack had a pair of catches for 15
yards. He hauled in an eight-yard touchdown reception against Miami (OH).
Kyle Brey (Granger, IN/Penn), who
sat out last season as a redshirt, will add
depth at tight end. as will redshirt junior
Bryan Kisabeth (Plymouth, MI/Divine
Child), who returns from an injury suffered at the end of spring ball last year.
“Our goal is to find a starter to replace Chad Upshaw as we have quality
people returning,” Gill said.
ing offensive linemen that started at
least five games in 2006.
Anchoring the line will be center
Jamey Richard (Weston, CT/Weston).
The senior center has started 23 straight
games over the last two seasons and is
an All-MAC caliber player.
Junior Jeff Niedermier (New Washington, OH/Buckeye Central) started
every game at right guard a season ago
and has started 18 straight games dating back to his freshman campaign.
Junior Ray Norell (Monroe, CT/Masuk) showed his versatility last season by
starting the first five games at left tackle
before starting the final seven games at
left guard.
Midway through the 2006 season, Jordan Jerrold (Fairless Hills,
PA/Pennsbury) was promoted to the
starting left tackle spot. Although only
Brian
a freshman, he started the final seven
games
of the season and helped reduce
Watson
the Bulls’ sack total considerably. Prior to
Jerrold entering the starting lineup, Buffalo was allowing four sacks per game.
However, once Jerrold became a starter,
opponent’s sack total dropped to 2.7 per
game.
Junior Jon Geddes (Colonie, NY/
Colonie) started five games at left guard
last season and will likely battle for a
starting role in 2007.
Senior Jon Burgio (Clarence, NY/
Clarence), junior Chris Lauzze (Pembroke, NY/Pembroke) and sophomore
Matt Bacoulis (Des Plaines, IL/Maine
East) all saw action as reserves last season and will have an opportunity for

more playing time in 2007.
Senior Travis Coughlin (Royal Oak,
MI/Bishop Foley), who played in several
games as a sophomore, will return after
sitting out last season and should be in
the mix at tackle.
Sophomore Andrew West (Croswell, MI/Croswell-Lexington) and redshirt-freshmen Brian Kelly (Richmond,
VA/Monacan) and Peter Bittner (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville North) will
add depth to an already experienced
line.
“We have an experienced offensive
line,” Gill said. “We are evaluating primarily for a starting right tackle but there is
competition at other positions for starting spots, too.”
all 12 games, splitting time between
the defensive end and defensive tackle
position. He totalled 27 tackles, including five for a loss. His three sacks ranked
second on the team.
Junior Ronald Hilaire (Laval, Quebec/Vieux) started eight games at defensive tackle. He totaled 20 tackles,
including 10 solo efforts and a sack. He
added a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
Senior Labinot Hakanjin (Brooklyn,
NY/Fort Hamilton), junior Mike Thompson (Seffner, FL/Armwood) and sophomores Dane Robinson (Baltimore,
MD/Calvert Hall) and Anel Montanez
(Trumbull, CT/Trumbull) each saw time
in the starting lineup and will battle for
starting jobs in 2007.
Junior Andrae Smith (Bloomfield,
CT/Bloomfield) hopes to return after
missing more than a season due to injuries.
“Our need is to find starters at the
defensive tackles positions who can
penetrate the line of scrimmage,” Gill
said. “We believe Trevor is an All-MAC
player going into the season. We must
find a starter at the other defensive end
position and depth at both sides.”
Linebackers
Buffalo suffered two of its biggest
losses at the linebacker position with
the departure of seniors Jeff Bublavi and
Ramon Guzman.
“The defensive unit will miss Bublavi
and Guzman,” Gill said. “This position will
Defense
Defensive Line
Like the offensive line, the Bulls will
return a much-experience defensive
line. Every player that started a game at
defensive line will return in 2007.
Leading the way will be defensive
end Trevor Scott (Potsdam, NY/Potsdam). The senior captain proved what
a versatile athlete he is by making the
move from tight end to defensive end in
2006. All he did in his first season on the
defensive line was record nine sacks - the
most by any player in Buffalo’s Division IA history. He added 45 tackles, including
a team-best 13.5 tackles for loss.
Senior James Judges (Pickering,
Ontario/St. Mary’s Secondary) started

need players to step up. Every position is
open to be taken by anyone.”
The Bulls do have one returning
starter at linebacker in Ollice Ervin
(Vero Beach, FL/Vero Beach). The UB
senior started 11 games last season and
ranked second on the team and 11th in
the MAC with 96 tackles. He added three
pass break-ups and an interception.
Also returning is Tom Drewes (Dunmore, PA/Dunmore) who had a solid
freshman campaign. The Milford Prep
product played in nine games and totalled 11 tackles. He earned the start
against Ball State after he had five tackles, including four solo stops at Auburn.
Senior Larry Hutchinson (Seattle,
WA/Fanklin) split time between linebacker and defensive lineman and had
10 tackles, including 10 solos, in seven
games.
Junior David Hubbard (Rancho
Cucamonga, CA/Etiwanda) and sophomore Chris Storr (Southfield, MI/Southfield) amassed 11 and 10 tackles, respectively, in reserve roles.
Seniors LaRon Haymore (St. Louis,
MO/Cardinal Ritter) and Todd Robertson (Amherst, NY/Sweet Home) as well
as sophomore Chris Callahan (Webster,
NY/Webster Thomas) played linebacker
in a reserve role last year and will get the
opportunity to challenge for a starting
spot in 2007. Callahan also spent some
time as a rush defensive end and recorded a sack.
Defensive Backs
KAREEM BYROM
The defensive backfield is coach Gill’s
SPRING PREVIEW
FOOTBALL
most experienced unit. The Bulls return
all four starters as well as three reserves
that saw significant action last season.
Leading the way is safety Kareem
Byrom (New Brunswick, NJ/New Brunswick). Last season, the senior captain
ranked third on the team in tackles with
88 and his nine tackles for loss ranked
second on the team. His four forced
fumbles tied him for second in the MAC.
Byrom’s importance to this team
was best exemplified when he was asked
to move from the defensive backfield to
linebacker when the Bulls were hit with
some injuries. In Byrom’s first career
game at linebacker, he had seven tackles, including two for a loss, and a sack
at nationally-ranked Boston College. He
followed that performance with a 10tackle, 2.5 tackle for loss outing against
Kent State.
Senior Jesse Imes (Cincinnati, OH/
Kings Mills) split time between safety
and cornerback last season. Although,
he has more experience at the safety
spot with 14 career starts. Imes ranked
seventh on the team in tackles with 48.
He best asset was having a nose for the
ball as he tied a school record with four
fumble recoveries on the year.
A pair of freshmen made some of the
most significant impact on the defensive
side of the ball as Kendric Hawkins (Upper Marlboro, MD/DeMatha Catholic)
and Mike Newton (Pasadena, MD/Calvert Hall) played more like seasoned
veterans.
Hawkins started 11 games and
ranked fourth on the team in tackles
with 70. He added eight tackles for loss
and a sack. He had a team-best five pass
breakups and a pair of interceptions. He
saved his interceptions for the national
stage as he had pick against Auburn and
Boston College - both nationally-ranked
teams. Hawkins was named to The
Sporting News Freshman All-America
Honorable Mention Team.
Newton started nine games at safety and led the Bulls and tied for first in
the MAC in interceptions with five. The
five picks were the most by a UB player
since Mark Graham had six in 2002 and
the second-highest total since the Bulls
returned to Division I-A in 1999. He also
totaled 60 tackles, including four for a
loss.
Another young duo that contributed last season was that of freshman
Sherrod Lott (Plant City, FL/Plant City)
and sophomore Keon Perry (Brunswick,
GA/Brunswick). Lott started six games
at corner. He had 33 tackles, including
22 of the solo variety. Perry played in 10
games and started one and finished the
year with eight tackles.
Junior Andre Evans (Cleveland, OH/
Glenville) started the final three games
of the season at cornerback last season.
He had nine tackles in the seven games
in which he played.
Senior Ronald Sears (Brooklyn, NY/
New Utrecht) and junior Gerald Jackson (Alexandria, VA/DeMatha Catholic)
add depth to the defensive backfield.
“This is the most experienced part
of our defense,” Gill said. “All starters are
back and they will be working to improve technique and tackling,”
Special Teams
Senior Ben Woods (Hermitage, PA/
Hickory) returns for his fourth year as
the Bulls’ starting punter. He has been a
reliable weapon over his career and as
he enters his final season will likely finish his career sitting atop the UB record
book in every punting category. Last
season, Woods averaged 37.9 yards per
punt. He had 13 punts downed inside
the 20-yard line and six fair catches.
Woods also handled the majority
of the kick-off duties. He had five touchbacks on the season.
With the graduation of Adam Tanalski and the departure of Taylor Packwood, who left the team for personal
reasons, the kicking duties will lie on the
shoulders of junior Gerry McGroarty
(Wilkes-Barre, PA/Bishop Hoban) heading into the spring. McGroarty didn’t see
any action last year, but did convert 2of-5 field goal attempts, including a 46yarder, in 2005.
“Punter Ben Woods is solid,” Gill said.
“Gerry McGroarty will have a chance to
see if he is the kicker.”
The kick return game was an area in
which Buffalo struggled in recent years.
That was until Naaman Roosevelt arrived
on campus. As a freshman, Roosevelt set
the school record for single-season kickoff return (25.9 ypr). On the first kickoff
return of his career, Roosevelt darted
94 yards up the center of the field for a
touchdown. It was the first kickoff return
for a score by the Bulls since October 14,
1989, a span of 178 games.
However, if Roosevelt catches on
as a quarterback, Gill may have to look
elsewhere for a return man.
“Kick returners and punt returners will need to be found this spring if
Naaman becomes the QB,” Gill said. “We
need to secure our punt protection.”

2007 RECRUITS
TURNER GILL
FOOTBALL
TURNER
GILL
HEAD FOOTBALL COACH
SECOND YEAR AT BUFFALO
NORTH TEXAS, ’90
OVERALL RECORD: 2-10
RECORD AT BUFFALO: 2-10
HOMETOWN: FORT WORTH, TX
Turner Gill enters his second season as Buffalo’s head coach. Gill made an
immediate impact in his first year as he led the Bulls to a number of firsts. In
2006, Buffalo scored the most points in a season (220) since moving to Division
I-A. UB also scored the most points (201) of any team in the MAC East Division
and defeated the first team – Kent State – with a winning record since joining
Mid-American Conference in 1999.
Gill has reached the pinnacle of college football as both a player and a coach.
Now he has accepted the challenge of lifting Buffalo’s fledgling Division I-A
program to the level of excellence that he has embodied as both a player and
coach.
Gill, who was part of three national championships as a coach at the University of Nebraska and a Heisman Trophy finalist as a player, agreed to a five-year
contract to become the 23rd head football coach at the University at Buffalo
on December 16, 2005.
Gill, 44, who spent the 2005 season serving as Player Development Director
and Offensive Assistant with the Green Bay Packers, was lauded as one of the
nation’s top recruiters while an assistant coach at Nebraska from 1992-2004. The
Cornhuskers won national titles in 1994, 1995 and 1997 during that span.
Gill, who was selected following a national search, brings with him tremendous success as both a player and coach. Consider how few head coaches in
America can claim to have:
• As a player, to have never lost a conference game as a starter; to have led
his team to the national championship game and to have been a finalist for
the Heisman Trophy (won by his teammate).
• As a coach, to be on the sidelines for three national championships and
to have coached an individual who won the Heisman Trophy.
“I am extremely excited to be able to bring a person of Turner’s caliber
- not only as a coach but as a
person - to the University at Buffalo,” said
Warde Manuel, UB’s Director of Athletics.
“He is a man of great integrity, he has a
tremendous football pedigree, and
is a proven winner. Turner has all
the tools necessary to bring great
pride to our football program in
the future, and I can’t wait to get
started with what I think will be a
very exciting chapter in Bulls’ football
history.”
UB President John B. Simpson said
that “from my conversations with
Turner Gill, and from what I know
of his impressive experience
and proven leadership, it’s
clear to me that he is an individual who understands
at a deep level what excellence is -- and understands
what it will take to achieve
it, both on and off the
field.”
Simpson said the fact
that Gill will head up the
university’s football program
“is great news for UB, marking
not just an important step forward in our continuing work to build a
strong, competitive athletic program,
but also a key outcome of our university-wide commitment to institutional
excellence.”
During his tenure at Nebraska, Gill served as an assistant coach for College
Football Hall of Famer Tom Osborne, current Ohio University head coach Frank
Solich and current Nebraska mentor Bill Callahan. He tutored the Huskers’
quarterbacks from 1992-2002, was named assistant head football coach in
2003, and served as wide receivers coach in 2004.
“I am honored and privileged to be a part of a great team with President
John Simpson and Warde Manuel,” said Gill. “They are tremendous people
and I know the University at Buffalo has great leadership with them in place.
I sincerely thank both of them for giving me this opportunity.
“When I talked to people about Warde, they had nothing but high regard
for him as a person and as an athletic director,” said Gill. “He has created an
excitement on campus and in the community. I want to be a part of this special
time at this institution. Warde has that drive and determination that brings
out excellence in other people. Our football staff will help him to deliver that
excitement to Western New York, the rest of New York State, and hopefully, the
rest of the country.”
In speaking about his expectations for his team, Gill said: “We are going to be
a team where each person believes in himself, his teammates, his coaches, and
the people of this institution. We will be a family that will dedicate ourselves
to excellence, balance, and growth. It is one of our main goals to make sure
that these young men truly enjoy the college football experience.
“It is our intention to build a team that will be physical and attacking on both
sides of the ball, as well as on special teams. Not only will the experience be
great for the players, but we will entertain the students and the fans as well,”
said Gill.
During the height of Nebraska football in the 1990s, with Gill serving as
quarterbacks coach, the Cornhuskers had unprecedented success at both the
quarterback position and as a team. Gill - rated one of the top ten recruiters in
the nation in 2000 and 2001 by ESPN.com - played a vital role in Nebraska’s three
national titles, and mentored a string of record-breaking quarterbacks, from
Tommie Frazier to Jamaal Lord to 2001 Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch.
Crouch, Frazier and Lord rank as the top three total career offense leaders in
Nebraska history (while Gill, himself, ranks eighth). Crouch won the Heisman
Trophy, Walter Camp Award (top player in the nation) and the Davey O’Brien
Award (nation’s top quarterback) as well as being a first-team All-American in
2001 under Gill’s tutelage.
Frazier was also a first-team All-American, Johnny Unitas Award winner and
Heisman Trophy finalist in 1995, and led Nebraska to back-to-back national
championships (1994-95). Both Fraizer and Crouch were tabbed as Big 12
Offensive Players of the Year. Gill also mentored a pair of Big 12 Conference
Offensive Newcomers of the Year in Frazier and Scott Frost (1996). Frost would
lead Nebraska to another national title in 1997.
In 2002, he was nominated and among the finalists for the Frank Broyles
Award, given annually to the top assistant coach in the nation. He was regarded
by several sources as one of the top recruiters in the nation.
“Turner is an outstanding human being,” said former Nebraska head coach
Tom Osborne, a member of the College Football Hall of Famer and one of the

great family man, an excellent recruiter, he relates well to his players and he
really works well with people. He’ll always represent the program well. He is very
knowledege as far as football goes. I have nothing but the greatest admiration
for him.”

(finishing fourth behind teammate Mike Rozier) and earning a berth on the
All-Decade Big Eight team (1980-89) as the starting quarterback.
Gill, a native of Fort Worth, TX, was the starting quarterback at Nebraska

Nebraska teams had a 28-2 overall record with Gill as the starting quarterback
and a 20-0 record in Big Eight conference play. He is the 12th winningest QB
in NCAA Div. I history.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT TURNER GILL
“Turner is an outstanding human being. He has great character.
He’s a great family man, an excellent recruiter, he relates well to his
players and he really works well with people. He’ll always represent
the program well. He is very knowledege as far as football goes. I have
nothing but the greatest admiration for him.”
--Tom Osborne
Former Nebraska Head Coach
College Football Hall of Fame
“It was great playing for Coach Gill. His knowledge of football, the
reads, audibles, etc., he made the game easier. He is very honest and
upfront with you. He told me the truth, whether I was playing good
or bad. He has great people skills and he truly cared about his players
on and off the field. He truly was a great teacher.”
--Tommie Frazier
Head coach, Doane College
Quarterback, Nebraska National Champions (1994-95)
“The player/coach relationship was a lot easier for me to accept
because Turner was a player - one of the most successful quarterbacks
to ever play the game - and he had been through it. That was such a
big part of my development. He’s a guy you can talk to about anything
and he has a great approach on life. I think that’s very important for
young athletes. He’s a tremendous competitor, he will prepare his
players like no one else. It was an amazing feeling to have him as a
coach... I felt head and shoulders above the competition in terms of
being prepared for the game. He’s a guy that will touch a lot of people’s
lives through coaching.”
--Eric Crouch
Nebraska, ‘02
2001 Heisman Trophy Winner
“I was with him all five years when I was at Nebraska. He’s coming
to Buffalo from Green Bay so he’s obviously a guy that knows how to
coach and he’s been around and on a lot of winning teams. From what
I saw of Turner at Nebraska he’s a man of integrity. He’s a family man
and he cares for his players and he expects a lot out of his players, just
like a lot was expected out of him when he was a player. He’ll do a great
job at the University at Buffalo.”
--Chris Kelsay
Defensive end, Buffalo Bills
Nebraska, ’02
National Football Foundation/College Hall of Fame Scholar-Athlete
“Thomas Drewes, incoming freshman, knows all about his new
coach, ongoing college football legend. Who wouldn’t know about the
quarterback of one of the greatest offenses of all time? Turner Gill was
a Heisman finalist, 28-2 as a starter, the Vince Young of his day...The
Buffalo administration is counting on this from the PlayStation generation of recruits: Kids might not remember Gill, but they remember
the quarterback greats he coached at Nebraska -- Heisman winner Eric
Crouch and Tommie Frazier.
--Dennis Dodd
CBS Sportsline
“If there are a couple of traits that define Gill as a coach, they are
his positive energy and unyielding optimism. Talk to Gill one-on-one,
and you somehow feel energized. If you’re down, he can pick you up
in minutes. He has that extraord nary gift.”
