12/05/20 - Dyontae Johnson, rSr/2023, Toledo, 6-2, 235 (DS#28 ILB) + More +

This offseason Toledo linebacker Dyontae Johnson knew he wanted to get faster. To accomplish that feat, in addition to a litany of speed drills given to him by the Toledo strength and conditioning staff, Johnson also took up a new hobby: virtual yoga classes. "That's a little out of the ordinary for me," Johnson said. "I've definitely been a stiff athlete my whole life...But I feel like yoga is for everybody. It's a better way to connect yourself and with your body." While Johnson was maybe stiff on the field in the past, throughout his college career he has always been flexible when it comes to learning and his role on the team.

The junior linebacker had to adapt quickly ever since he arrived at the University of Toledo. Over each of the last two seasons, while he didn't start, he played in every single contest. While he made a lot mistakes as an underclassman, Johnson said he was mostly worried about not continuously making the same mistakes. Head coach Jason Candle said Johnson has done a good job of getting "progressively better" in that regard, and especially with utilizing film to help him do so. "He's done a good job of taking mistakes off the video tape and really identifying what his weaknesses are to really put his best foot forward to try to get better," he said. "From a progression standpoint, he's got progressively better from that point in time until now." - Bryan/College Station Eagle

The Mid-American Conference released its annual football preseason coaches poll Wednesday, and if the guys atop the league's 12 programs are correct, the division that holds Michigan's three teams will be up for grabs. Just four voting points separated the preseason No. 1 team from the No. 4 squad in the MAC West, and four of the six teams each received at least one first-place vote. Toledo took the top spot in the West Division with 54 voting points and four first-place nods, while Western Michigan was a close second with 53 points and two first-place votes. Defending division champ Central Michigan was right behind the Broncos with 52 points and a MAC West-best five first-place votes, while Ball State rounded out the top contenders with 50 points and one first-place vote. - Kalamazoo Gazette

10/23/20 - Cavon Butler, rSr/2025, Toledo, 6-3, 300 (DS#101 DT) + More +

New University of Toledo co-defensive coordinator Craig Kuligowski has developed a reputation as one of the top hand-fighting defensive line coaches in the nation. That's backed up by the number of NFL draft picks he has coached. Twenty-four of his former players have gone on to become draft picks, including six first-rounders: Quinnen Williams, Aldon Smith, Sheldon Richardson, Charles Harris, Shane Ray, and Ziggy Hood. Half of those draft picks (including all of the first rounders except Williams, who went to Alabama) came from Missouri, while eight came from Miami and four from Alabama. For Kuligowski, there are two main characteristics of players he has coached who have gone on to play in the NFL - and those characteristics he sees with some of the players on Toledo's roster now.

"The No. 1 thing that you have to be to play in the NFL is you have to have a desire to be great, and not everybody has that," he said. "It's a lot easier to say that everybody wants to be great, but not everybody wants to do what it takes to be great and do the extra things. I have a lot of examples of guys I coached that played with a chip on their shoulder, they were trying to prove something to themselves or to their family, or to their friends, or to me that they could perform at a high level. And I see that in some of our players, that desire to be great. "And then the second thing is you have to have the talent to play there. If you're a guy like Aldon Smith who's got all the talent in the world, you can be a first-round draft pick. If you're a guy who doesn't have a similar talent it doesn't mean you can't play in the NFL, but that desire to be great and do what it takes, that self discipline and sacrifice really makes a difference." - Toledo Blade

While the quarterback battle may be the story of the University of Toledo's offense going into the 2020 season, the running back room returns one of the best one-two punches in the Mid-American Conference. Junior Bryant Koback and Senior Shakif Seymour each are back this season for the Rockets. Ever since Koback transferred to Toledo from Kentucky ahead of the 2018 season, the duo has not only formed a strong bond, but has developed a healthy competition. "It's been a great process to come in and compete with him every single day, and actually it helps both of us become better," Koback said. "I'm very thankful and grateful for that every single day we come in. It's also healthy competition, which is always a great thing to have. We're able to maximize our potential while competing against each other. I think we have a great one-two punch. We are both rooting for each other and both want to have a successful season." Koback's stats back up the fact the Springfield grad thrives on this competition. Seymour has accumulated 2,008 career yards and 22 touchdowns during his career. Koback meanwhile was one of the stars of Toledo's 2019 season, rushing for 1,187 yards (fourth in the MAC) and averaging 6.1 yards per carry (third in the MAC). With 2,104 career yards, he and Seymour are two of 18 players to crack 2,000 career rushing yards. - Toledo Blade

08/24/20 - Bryce Harris, rSr/2022, Toledo, 6-2, 300 (DS#999 C) + More +

Harris has matured a lot as a football player since he last hit the field in 2018. He said he used to view his college football career simply as a vehicle to get him to realize his NFL dreams. Now in his sixth season at Toledo, he wants to take some more time to savor the experience. "The last couple seasons, I was in it for a completely different reason," Harris said. "At the root of it, I always loved football, and I've always been in love with the game. Now I think it's a lot deeper than that. Before in 2018 when I played I was truly only focused on the NFL. I wanted to leave my mark at Toledo so I could better myself for the NFL to prove to everyone in my entire football career that I can make it. Now it's less of a focus on that and a lot more focused on the experience - being around the team, learning the actual game from my coaches, and my relationships. "It's really about the full experience for me now. I'm more interested in how I can affect and build relationships with the entire staff and community of Toledo football." - Toledo Blade
