A junior college in North Dakota has an elder statesman on its roster, a 49-year-old freshman. Ray Ruschel, 49, is a backup defensive lineman and the oldest member of the North Dakota State College of Science. He's also one year older than his coach.
Ruschel has been an important part of the team this season. When the team lost a game in September, Ruschel stepped in and provided his college football team with some motivational words.

Everybody did not handle it," The Associated Press reported wide receiver Marselio Mendez saying in reference to the loss to rival Minnesota State Community Technical College. "Ray came up and said, ‘You know, it’s not really failing, right?’ He said we just have to put the emotion to the side, and we still got the rest of the season and playoffs to show who we are." Ruschel had a long path to the small school that often gets overlooked with North Dakota State nearby. Ruschel spent almost twenty years in the Army and National Guard.
He became a sergeant during his time in the Army and said he wants to stay active in the National Guard until he reaches the age of 60. He then started working as a night-shift mechanic at a sugar beet factory, when he decided to enroll at the College of Science.The school offers a variety of two-year programs. In hopes of working his way up at the factory, Ruschel chose to study business management. He soon learned the school also had a football team.
