Ferris State Football ranked #1 in GLIAC preseason poll

As the defending National Champions, it is no surprise the Bulldogs are picked as the favorite to win the GLIAC title for the upcoming 2022 season.


The preseason rankings were released Monday in part of the conference wide media session hosted by Wayne State University. The Bulldogs received five of the seven first place votes, with the other two going to #2 ranked rival Grand Valley State.


Along with the poll, players and coaches were interviewed by each team. Ferris State was represented by assistant coach Brian Rock, defensive back Cyntell Williams, and offensive lineman Adam Sieler.


In the Ferris State session, host Emory Hunt asked a series of questions about the Bulldogs’ mindset
coming into the 2022 season after the ultimate high of winning the National Championship. The
response: the past is the past.


“We just had a team retreat a few weeks ago and one of the things we talked about was leaving 2021
(behind) and focusing on the 2022 season; winning each quarter and winning each game,” Williams said.


“That's just our culture and that's what we're going to try to do again this year.”


This culture has certainly been a focal point for the Bulldogs since the hire of Head Coach Tony Annese back in 2011. When it comes to keeping the team hungry year after year, Coach Rock made sure to credit the team’s depth and aspiration for success.


“I can tell you this just as a guy that's walked in a couple of years ago and watched what he has created at Ferris State University,” Coach Rock said. “What he has done is an unbelievable job of creating a culture where the guys take the next step and when good players move on and graduate, the next guys know that it's their turn to lead and make plays. It's a culture of winning, and he's done a great job of really fostering that.”


The Bulldogs will begin their season Thursday, Sep. 1 at 7:30 p.m. against Central Washington.
