Offensive Captain: Markell Cooley, 6-4 249lb senior from Ephrata, PA. Cooley, or "Mak-Cool", as he is known around the school, is a 4th year starter at QB. Cooley enters his final year as the record holder in most all QB categories. He has thrown for over 9000 yards, 52 TD, and run for over 2200 yards with 24 TD. Cooley found himself at Alaska State due to the fact he wanted to start right away, but his grades limited his college choices. Coach Tietsworth assured Markell's parents that he would make sure Markell received a diploma. This made the decision easy for Markell and his family, even though they knew seeing Markell play would be difficult from over 4,275 miles away. (Each Wednesday, The Cooley family receives a package in the mail with Alaska State's last game on it, so they can see their son play.) Markell is majoring in Outdoor Leadership, setting him up to hopefully obtain employment in the Forestry Service.

Defensive Captain: Rashaun Morris, 6-3 197lb senior from Mansfield, OH. Morris is one of 5 children, and the first to leave the state of Ohio for college. His 3 brothers and sister all attended the University of Akron. Morris is the first to play football, and he was a stellar PG for his high school team, being named second team all-state twice. Morris brings the smarts and awareness the coaches absolutely love. Morris is like a coach on the field some say, and being named captain was unanimous. Rashaun is a Fish Management major. This is his second year as Defensive Captain.
