2026 Spring Game Report

Several observation from this year's spring game:
  • The format pitted the Purple Squad as the offense versus the Gold Squad as the defense. This allowed for the first team offense to face the first team defense, but also required a modified scoring system in which the defense was awarded six points for a turnover and three points for a three-and-out.
  • All transfer members of the 2026 Unofficial Recruiting Class were in uniform with the exception of Robert Ford II. So a dozen incoming players already have a semester with their new team under their belts.
  • All incoming freshmen members of the 2026 Unofficial Recruiting Class were introduced at halftime with the exception of quarterback Cole Ordway. Ordway plays shortstop for the Easton Rovers and they were in Cooperstown, NY to take on West Chester East on historic Doubleday Field.
  • In a flashback from last season, the offense had a first-and-goal from the four-yard line. Three running plays later, they were attempting a field goal. The defensive line and linebackers made their point early in the evening.
  • Redshirt freshman Blaise Boland had a nice sack and will be pushing for playing time in his second year.
  • Shippensburg transfer punter Domenic Nardini had great hang time and distance on his punts, but since they were uncontested kicks, he was able to take as much time as he wanted. That's likely not going to work for a team that had four punts blocked last season, ranking 152 out of 157 teams.
  • A day after the game, redshirt freshman receiver Jayden Johnson and redshirt freshman defensive tackle Zephaniah Bradley-Brown entered the transfer portal.

Alumni News - Former Golden Rams Among Coaching Moves

Several Golden Rams have new college coaching roles. Former Golden Ram quarterback Bill Zwaan has been named the head coach at Delaware Valley University.
