We get asked often how people can help the program. We have put together an Amazon Wish List of things we could use to help improve this program. If able, your support would be greatly appreciated, if you know anyone outside of the program that would like to help please share the list with them.
Wishlist Items:
- Printer Ink – we print practice schedules, depth charts, and much more daily.
- Rubbermaid Tanks – Varsity players take Ice Baths on Wednesdays to help recover for Friday. We currently have 1 big tank, smaller individual tanks would use less ice.
- Tape Cutters – need a set for the locker room so they do not have to go to the training room after practice or games.
- Snacks/Drinks – To be kept in locker room for players to eat during the day or before/after practice.
- Protein – Athletes need to eat protein immediately after morning workouts and throughout the day. From what I observe the majority of our athletes are not getting close to enough protein in their diets to maximize the amount of work they are doing in the weight room. Eating protein after workouts and throughout the day would help them build muscle to prevent injuries and get stronger.
- Beverage Dispenser – We have enough blenders to make protein shakes each morning we purchased last year. Problem was when we mixed them, by the time the Athletes got them they started to settle and they wouldn’t drink them, if we had this that would fix that problem. This would be much cheaper than buying premix bottles.
- Towels – If we had a set of towels to keep in locker room we could wash daily and athletes could use after showering after AM workouts.
- Laundry Soap – We do 15-20 loads of laundry daily between HS and JH to keep athletes from getting staph or having to take their stuff home daily to wash.
You can pick which items you would like to purchase to support and they will be shipped directly to us and available for the Athletes. Thank you for everything you do for this program!!

Aaron Winfrey • Head 9th Grade / Tight Ends
Coach Aaron Winfrey brings a diverse and accomplished coaching background at both the high school and collegiate levels, along with a strong foundation in leadership and player development. Last season, he was tasked with coaching quarterbacks of all grade levels. Under his guidance, Bartlesville’s varsity quarterback finished the 2025 season with over 3,500 all‑purpose yards and ranked as a Top‑5 passer in the state of Oklahoma. Winfrey served as offensive coordinator and primary play caller for Jr. High teams, contributing to explosive offensive production and varsity scoring success.
Prior to joining the staff in Bartlesville, Winfrey coached defensive backs at the University of St. Francis, where his unit helped lead a defense that ranked first in the conference in pass defense and points allowed per game.
Winfrey’s coaching career also includes stops at New Mexico Highlands University and Oklahoma State University, highlighted by Big XII Conference & Fiesta Bowl Championships. Across these positions, he gained extensive experience while collaborating with coordinators and position coaches.
In addition to his football background, Winfrey offers significant leadership experience from his professional career in talent development and recruiting. Coach Winfrey has led teams, mentored young professionals, and facilitated high‑level relationships across multiple organizations. His greatest joy comes from helping young people reach their full potential. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Oklahoma State University and remains actively involved in community and leadership initiatives. Aaron and his wife Kelsy are thrilled to be a part of the Bartlesville community." ... See MoreSee Less

John Coslett • Running Backs
Welcome Coach Coslett!
Coach Coslett is the rebel WITH a cause when it comes to football---deliberately and intentionally masterminding a way to become a member of the team as an elementary-aged Pop Warner athlete paved the way for the determination and grit necessary to achieve back-to-back NJCAA National Championship Titles and to become an athletic director.
Coach Coslett has, most recently, been associated with Circle High School in Towanda, Kansas, serving as the athletic director for the past nine years. He has established himself as an honored and respected figure in the Kansas high school sports community, often sharing insights on coaching with intention and the importance of intentional player development. Coslett’s emphasis on coaching with intention focuses on early teaching to allow players to process information without pressure. He advocates for daily repetition to turn thought into instinct while balancing drill intensity to maintain player focus.
Coslett’s personal ties to Kansas State University, specifically as a member of Coach Bill Snyder’s foundation for the greatest turnaround in college football, are the pillars of Coslett’s coaching style and philosophies. Coslett played collegiate football at Dodge City Community College and Bethel College before finishing his playing eligibility at Kansas State. Kansas State University was where Coslett and Coach Hennesy met and began their decades long dream of one day coaching together and creating their own legacy fashioned after the philosophies instilled in each of them by Coach Snyder. They each travelled influential paths to ultimately lead them to fulfilling this dream together with the Bruins.
Coslett began his coaching career at Kansas State University as an undergraduate coach for Bill Snyder. He has had the opportunity to enhance his coaching on the staffs of Wamego, Syracuse, Belleville, Larned, El Dorado, Butler Community College, and Circle High School. From 2005 through 2009, Coslett served as an assistant coach under Hall of Fame Head Coach Troy Morrell during one of the most successful eras in program history coaching All Americans Beau Johnson and Wallace Franklin. During his tenure, the Grizzlies were a powerhouse in the NJCAA, winning the 2007 and 2008 NJCAA National Championships.
In 2009, Coslett was among the coaches formally congratulated by the Kansas State Senate in Resolution No. 1816 for the team’s continued excellence and national prominence. Coslett has clearly become a pillar of the Kansas football community, bridging the gap between elite collegiate programs like Kansas State, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Butler Community College with high school programs such as Circle High School (home of Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips).
Coslett has served on the Kansas State High School Activities Association Board of Directors and has been a board member for the Kansas Interscholastic Activities and Athletics Association, bringing this valuable “behind the scenes” experience to the Bruins coaching staff. His “coaching with intention” philosophy is a hallmark of his leadership, moving beyond simple drills to focus on the cognitive side of the game to ensure players react by instinct rather than overthinking.
Key Highlights of his Career Path:
The "Snyder" Influence: Finishing his college career as an undergraduate coach for Bill Snyder laid the foundation for his disciplined, process-oriented approach.
The Butler Dynasty: Contributing to the 2007 and 2008 National Championships at Butler CC places him among an elite group of coaches who have operated at the highest level of junior college football.
The Circle Era: His nine-year tenure as Athletic Director at Circle High School (Towanda) demonstrates his shift from on-field coaching to departmental leadership, where he now shapes the culture for all sports programs in the district.
Coslett comes to Bartlesville with his wife of nearly 30 years. Jen is a seasoned coach’s wife who enthusiastically supports every aspect of her husband’s coaching career and every one of his athletes. Jen will be joining the Bruins as an English teacher and looks forward to serving as a liaison between the classroom and the field for the athletes and the coaching staff.
Also joining Coslett as a member of the Bruins football program is his son, Brodie. Most teens would refuse a move to a new school in a new state for their senior year. Brodie is nothing but excited to make this move and hopes to be a powerhouse linebacker for the Bruins while also maintaining his stellar 4.0 GPA in the classroom ... See MoreSee Less
