With quarterback Isaac Ross going into his senior season, he's hoping to lead the Wilmington College Quakers Football program back to a place they haven't been in 25 years, having a winning record.

While Ross, who threw for 1,328 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for another three, brings experience, most of the Wilmington roster is made up of freshmen. Ross also has his tailback, Kai Smith, returning after Smith rushed for 426 yards and three touchdowns. 

In the air, Joseph Spann is looking for a breakout season to follow up his 11 catches for 159 yards and one touchdown. 

On defense, Wilmington added a new member, Rod Tolen, as defensive backs coach. Tolen has a strong history of creating elite secondarys and is looking to do the same at Wilmington.

On defense, junior Samuel Brooks will be a leader in Tolen’s revamped secondary. In 2024, he had 55 tackles and two interceptions, leading the team in takeaways. Gavan Hunter will lead the way for the linebackers, and in 2024 had 43 tackles and one interception. 

Hunter even earned OAC Defensive Player of the Week following a big performance against Otterbein. In that game, he had an interception and a scoop-and-score, nabbing two firsts of his college career, an interception and a touchdown. 

With established veterans in all areas of the field, could the Wilmington Quakers find success in 2025?
