WINONA, Minn. - Six Winona State University football players were selected as captains for the upcoming 2022 Warrior season, as announced by head coach,
Brian Bergstrom. In addition, single game ticket sales are set to open on September 1 for a WSU home games.
Offensive standouts
Tyler Anderson,
Sam Santiago-Lloyd and
Payton Dachel comprise half the Winona State leadership this season. Anderson, a wide receiver, and Santiago-Lloyd, a running back, both are looking for bounce-back seasons after suffering season-ending injuries last fall. For Anderson, the selection marks his second consecutive season having been named a captain. Santiago-Lloyd led WSU in rushing in 2019, running for just over 1,000 yards on 186 carries, scoring eight touchdowns. Dachel was named the Winona State Player-to-Watch on offensive in the 2022 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Football preseason poll.
