“The more you sweat in peace, the less you’ll bleed in war.” First two weeks of our spring block are in the books and the Spartans are firing on all cylinders. Learning to trust one another and push through failure as we continue to lay the foundation #OurWay

♦️🏈 2026 Spartan Football Schedule 🏈♦️ The foundation continues to be built as we prepare to showcase a new era of Pleasant Spartan football this season #OurWay

Capped off testing week with some strong pulls from the Spartans, relentless pursuit of excellence everyday from this group #OurWay

As we wrap up the winter phase of our off-season program it has been an honor to watch these guys buy in to the standard and compete everyday to the best of their god given ability. Spring phase starting next week!! #OurWay

Testing week in the Tundra, the legs feed the wolf! #OurWay

Day by day. These men have consistently risen to the occasion all winter training. The effort, courage to fail and will to perform to the best of their god given ability have been the foundation we are building this program on. The work never stops. #OurWay

Outstanding work by our athletes this week serving the community!! Character is a constant for these guys and they continue to get better!! #OurWay

Weeks 2 and 3 in the books and the Spartans are laying the foundation day by day. Consistency and Effort plus Humility and Respect equals some really good days out in the Tundra! Never satisfied and on to the next week! #OurWay

The 2026 season has begun; the boys have been relentless in their fundamental process to pursue excellence consistently. The competitive energy, humility and respect for our Spartan brotherhood has been fun to see take root. These two men led the way week 1 #OurWay

With much consideration and many conversations, I have decided to enter my name in the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility remaining after my freshman year. I wanna thank Otterbein University and all the new relationships it’s allowed me to form this year. Looking forward to my next opportunity and finding a new home. Thank you.
