Jayden Everett made an immediate impact in 2017, his first season on coach John Bonaemego Central Michigan football staff.
Then-sophomore Jonathan Ward emerged as a budding star under Everett's tutelage, rushing for 1,019 yards, rolling up 470 yards in receptions, and scoring 13 touchdowns. He became the first CMU back to rush for 1,000 yards since 2014.
Ward, who ranked second in the MAC with an average of 5.7 yards per carry, is among a slew of talented returnees with whom Everett will work in 2017. Among those also returning are Kumehnnu Gwilly, Devon Spalding and Romello Ross, each of whom has been highly productive throughout their respective careers, both running the ball and catching it.
Before joining the Chippewas, Everett spent the previous four seasons as Indiana State’s running backs coach, and he also served as ISU's recruiting coordinator in 2016.
Everett also has coached at Hutchinson Community College, where he spent three seasons as recruiting coordinator and running backs coach. He helped develop first-round NFL Draft pick and All-Pro wide receiver Cordarrele Patterson, who went on to play at the University of Tennessee before being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings.Â
Everett played linebacker for three seasons at Indiana State, and he was the team’s co-Most Valuable Player and defensive captain as a senior.
