Saturday's game against Geneva marks the end of the 2026 campaign and is also Senior Day.

It has been an emotional and challenging couple of years, but these young men have shown great character. They remained on campus to finish their degrees and lead the program into a new era of Division III football.

"They easily could have decided to go elsewhere, but they saw the value in finishing what they started and honored their commitment to the university and the football team. In a world of college athletics where the culture has shifted to a 'me' attitude, with everyone asking, 'How can I get more money?' or bouncing around from school to school, these guys decided to stay. I believe they're going to be successful in their future endeavors because they honored that commitment!" – Defensive Coordinator Jacob Craig


Senior Recognition

Marcus Fennell is a driven student-athlete who took over as the leader of a young offensive line. During his time at Saint Francis, he has studied mechanical and aeronautical engineering while training to become a pilot.

While Saturday will be the final football game for Collin Glassmyer, he will remain on campus to finish his degree in physical therapy. Collin embodied what it means to be a student-athlete, earning a 3.82 GPA while excelling on the field.

Gavin Hockenberry was one of the most consistent players on defense this season. He is majoring in business management with a minor in sports management and plans to return to Saint Francis to earn his master's degree.

Kent McMahon started at linebacker this season while finishing a double major in accounting and finance. He currently holds a 3.61 GPA.

Campbell Melzer is a communications major who hopes to continue working in the sports industry. When asked why he returned this season, he said, "I want to finish what this group started."

Ian Palilla is a placekicker who joined Saint Francis this season after transferring from Clarion. After the season, he will remain on campus to finish his degree in physical therapy.

Tight end Scott Raymond is a dedicated team player who spent five years in a Saint Francis uniform. This season, the engineering major reached career highs in receptions and receiving yards.

Elijah Villarrial rejoined the football team to once again play for his father. A marketing and management major, Elijah leads the Red Wolves in rushing this season.

Cam Wagner is also a member of the track and field team. The move to Division III gave him the opportunity to play football again. He made an impact at both quarterback and linebacker. His next goal is to join the State Police Academy.

Saturday's Senior Day ceremony will begin at 12 p.m., followed by recognition of senior members of the Saint Francis band, cheerleading, and dance teams.
 

Countdown to Kickoff

Saint Francis enters the regular-season finale still searching for its first win. Appearing on the PAC Football Weekly Podcast, head coach Chris Villarrial said the Red Wolves need to control the passing game to beat Geneva.

"It's something we've struggled with. We need to get a good pass rush on their quarterback because he can pick you apart."

Geneva comes to Loretto riding a four-game losing streak after falling to Westminster, 40-14. One player to watch is freshman Jerry Davis. He had five receptions for 144 yards, including an 83-yard touchdown catch. He leads the conference in receiving.

Geneva has been hit hard by injuries this season, and its lack of depth has been exposed during the team's four-game losing streak. Most of the injuries have occurred along the offensive line. As a result, Geneva has allowed 40 quarterback sacks this season, the most in the PAC.

The two schools last played against each other in 1988. Geneva is 10-0 all-time against Saint Francis.
