Bluffton football has is a unique program with lots of different individuals from Ohio, Detroit, Indiana, Nebraska, Florida, Georgia, big cities to small little towns. That is what makes the team so unique because they can all come together to make one team. For players making the transition to Bluffton is hard, because this is a very small Mennonite community. This community and campus is all about respect, discovery, working all together as a team, and discovering things about yourself you would not normally know in any other situation. The players on the football team experience culture shock. The change is so different from them coming from a big city it is hard to make the transition to Bluffton. Coming from a big city it is hard for players to transition to the small campus atmosphere. Players have to understand Bluffton is small and respectful community and there not being many things to do for fun. Players suffer from the culture shock cannot always make the adjustment and leave.
The good thing about this being small is players have more time to bond with their teammates, and more time to focus on academics and football. This is a great thing for the football program. Bluffton’s football program is really on the rise. They are making a lot of new changes to the program, and the whole way things are ran. The first, big change would have to be the addition of head football coach Tyson Veidt. Coach Veidt was a former coach under West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez and has really brought a division one program to the small school. Coach Veidt wants to bring fundamentally sound football to all three phases of the game offense, defense, and special teams. Discipline is another one of his big things and this all goes along with the Bluffton community.
As far as the football program itself is making moves forward for the future, even though coming off a 0-10 season. The beavers are a very young team and had a great freshman recruiting class where a lot of the freshman saw time on the field. The beavers are a deep sophomore class too. Being a very young team the Bluffton Beavers will be a team to look out for. There were some positive notes to the beaver’s season though they had several players make the all HCAC conference both academically and for athletics
