Cohl Ratermann of Colome will be one of two seniors who will be key pieces on Dakota Wesleyan University’s football team.

Ratermann played 11 games as a sophomore and put together a stronger junior season in 2015. The Colome native was third on the team in total tackles (59) and recovered a fumble.

“Cohl really turned the corner for us last year,” said coach Ross Cimpl. “He just started believing in himself. He is a big, physical presence and he had to fight through some injuries and work his way up. He’s established himself as a leader and is someone the younger guys can look up to.”

Cimpl said the experience Brady Mudder and Ratermann bring back to the defense will play a big role for the team this year.
