The 2017 season will kick off on August 31, with the Wolves hosting Fort Valley State at University Stadium. It marks the sixth season opener at home on the turf at Ra-Lin Field for West Georgia, but the first under new head coach David Dean. UWG hired Dean in January after Will Hall left UWG to take the offensive coordinator position at Lousiana-Lafayette. West Georgia is 6-2 in home openers at University Stadium, and 4-1 when that home opener is also the season opener. This will mark the first Thursday night home opener for University Stadium and will be the first night game on the Wolves’ home field since the 2013 season finale against Delta State.

TODAY’S GAME The West Georgia Wolves were 7-4 last season and failed to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2013 campaign. David Dean is the new head coach, and he is 79-27 overall in his ninth year as a coach. Kevin Porter is the head coach at Fort Valley State with a record of 9-12 at FVSU. This is the first meeting between the two teams.

DEAN MAKES A TRIUMPHANT RETURN It’s been 17 years since David Dean coached on the sidelines for the University of West Georgia, as he left after the 2000 campaign to take the offensive coordinator position at Valdosta State. Since that time, he has won three national championships, including two as the head coach for the Blazers and spent one season in the Division I ranks as the offensive coordinator at Georgia Southern in 2016.

JACKSON ENTERS HISTORICAL AREA Junior running back Devontae Jackson has quietly made a name for himself as one of the top all-purpose players in the Gulf South Conference in his first two seasons. As a freshman, he rushed for 1,000 yards and was named First Team All-GSC as an all-purpose back. Last season, despite being hampered by injury, he was named Second Team All-Conference. He enters the 2017 campaign with more than 1,500 career all-pur-pose yards.

DEFENSIVE STARTERS West Georgia fans are looking to defensive coordinator Scott Symons and his staff this season, as five starters from the 2016 defense are either currently playing in the NFL or had a shot in rookie camp. Jakyron Young and Zed Brown headline a young crop of talented players in 2017.

West Georgia (Head Coach) ......................................................................2017

Head Coach David DeanIn late January the University of West Georgia was faced with the task of fill-ing a vacancy as head football coach. The job wasn’t vacant very long. David Dean was available; ready, willing, and eager to become UWG’s 11th head football coach of the modern era. Dean brings a resume to the UWG post that rivals almost any coach in the nation, at any level. Dean is this season entering his 30th season in the coaching profession, his ninth at West Georgia. There is one common thread to his 29 previous seasons: David Dean is a winner. The former wide receiver at Georgia Tech was a key staff member at Valdosta State from 1988-1991. He next spent eight seasons on the staff at UWG, an era that saw the program experience a large number of firsts. That includes the first winning season at the Division II level, the first NCAA D-II Playoff berth, and the program’s first two Gulf South Conference titles. Dean departed UWG following the 1999 season, joining the staff of Chris Hatcher at Valdosta Sate. He spent seven seasons as the Blazers’ offensive coordinator, a run that included the 2004 NCAA Division II Champi-onship. In 2007 Dean ascended to the head coaching post at VSU. He had to assemble a coaching staff almost from the ground up as all but one fellow staff member moved on. The results were positive as Valdosta State posted a 13-1 and won the program’s second national championship. Five years later, Dean was back in the winner’s circle again. This time the Blazers lost twice in the regular season, but they were untouchable in the playoffs, averaging 42 points a game during a postseason run to a second national title. How rare is a second national championship? Consider that college football has been played in the state of Georgia since the 1890s. During that time only three football coaches in the state have won multiple national titles. Erskine Russell won three FCS title at Georgia Southern, while Paul Johnson followed him in Statesboro with a pair of crowns of his own. The other coach on that very exclusive list is David Dean. Dean’s run as head coach at Valdosta State covered nine seasons. Beyond the two national crowns, his Blazer teams posted an impressive record of 79-27, including a mark of 42-19 in games played with the nation’s best Division II conference, the Gulf South. His teams advanced to the NCAA Playoffs six times, and Dean’s postseason head coaching record is 12-4. The success of Dean’s Valdosta State program resulted in numerous individual plaudits. He captured American Football Coaches Association Di-vision II Coach of the Year honors following both national titles. He was also named 2007 Coach of the Year by Schutt Sports, AFCA Regional Coach of the Year, and GSC Coach of the Year in 2010. Beyond his individual success, Dean’s VSU players captured the highest of honors. His VSU teams had 18 Division II All-America selections, while 10 players signed National Football League contracts. Dean also coached three players who earned GSC Freshman of the Year honors, two league players of the year, and one national defensive player of the year. Clearly, David Dean has been linked to success throughout his 30-year coaching career. At UWG or at UWG’s biggest rival, the results are irrefutable: David Dean is a winner. His teams win and his program flourishes. As Dean begins his first season at UWG, he is following the most successful three-year run in the history of the Wolves’ program. Few coaches have the gravitas to continue, and even increase that level of success. Dean is a native of DeKalb County in the metro Atlanta area. He was born in Decatur, and enjoyed a stellar high school career for the Avondale Blue Devils. Dean arrived at Georgia Tech as a walk-on in 1982, but was awarded a scholarship the following season. He played wide receiver for the Jackets through the 1985 campaign. Married to the former Stacie Stott, the Deans have three daughters: Caroline (20), Allison (18), and Natalie (12).

The David Dean era begins in 2016 after a solid run over the past three years. Just seven years ago, West Georgia went an entire season without a rushing touchdown, and in the past three years, the Wolves have produced a top-10 season in school history. In the 2016 season, the final game of the year gave West Georgia a lot of momentum on both sides of the ball heading into 2017. The Wolves had 52 carries for 336 yards and five rushing touchdowns in that contest, the eighth time in school history that UWG had five or more rushing touchdowns in a single game. In the 2014 run to the NCAA Semifinals, the Wolves put up more than 3,000 yards rushing for the first time in school history, shattering both the yards and touchdowns record by more than 700 and seven, respectively. The 2015 season was more of the same, with the Wolves eating up yardage to the tune of another school record of 5.1 yards per carry. Prior to Hall’s tenure, there had been no 1,000-yard backs in the previous 10 years, and the Wolves have had a back eclipse that num-ber in each of the past three seasons. First, it was Seth Hinsley in the 2014 campaign, followed by Devontae Jackson in 2015. Last year, Lamarcus Franks became the 11th back in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, hitting for 1,009 yards as a senior.
