Media Policies/InformationMEDIA INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATIONThe 2011 Troy University Football Media Alamanac is designed to aid members of the media in the coverage of Trojan football, as well as serve as a tool to learn more about the university and the staff associated with the football program. The staff of the Troy Athletics Media Relations of-fice is eager to assist members of the media with all of their needs during the course of the sea-son. Please feel free to contact our office at (334) 670-3832 for information regarding credentials, team and player information, interviews, statis-tics, travel plans, photgraphy, video highlights, press conferences and satellite feeds. The Troy Athletics Media Relations office has certain policies and procedures that we ask you abide by while covering the Trojans. These are for the benefit of your needs and those of Troy’s student-athletes and coaches. We ask that you please respect these requests in order to cre-ate a good working atmosphere for all parties involved.

MEDIA RELATIONS OFFICE The Troy Athletics Media Relations office is lo-cated on the Fifth Floor of the the Hawkins Sta-dium Tower, which is located on Veteran Stadiums Drive. Enter through the building’s front entrance and take the elevators to the Fifth Floor. The Me-dia Relations staff offices are located down the hall to the right after exiting the elevators.

CREDENTIAL REQUESTS The Troy Athletics Media Relations office will is-sue credentials to WORKING press only for games played at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Passes for spouses, children or friends will not be issued. The credentials are non-transferrable. Any unau-thorized use of a credential will result in the pass being revoked immediately.

Press passes will be distributed to those working in the press box. A Press Sideline pass will be issued to working media needing sideline access.

All credential requests should be made in writing by sports editors and/or directors of accredited media outlets on company letterhead. Requests should be made no later than the Monday preced-ing that week’s game to be considered.

Credential requests should be sent to the Ath-

letics Media Relations Office in the attention of: Director of Athletics Media Relations, Troy Uni-versity, Tine W. Davis Fieldhouse, Troy, AL 36082. Fax requests should be sent to the same office at (334) 670-5665. Email requests can be sent to [email protected].

Working members of the media who plan to cover the Trojans on the road are encouraged to make credential requests through the Troy Uni-versity Athletics Media Relations office at least two weeks in advance of the scheduled con-test. Media representatives covering opponents should contact their school’s media relations of-fice to make requests.

WEBSITES AND NEW MEDIAWeb-based media sponsoring “message boards” or “chat rooms” that allow posting of anonymous information or rumors are ineligible for cre-dentials or access to Troy media functions. If a news-gathering medium has an online site that sponsors anonymous forums, they may continue to request credentials under their traditional me-dium (newspaper, magazine, radio or television), but will not be granted additional passes or ac-cess for online staff.

Any online service that places emphasis on the recruitment of potential student-athletes will not qualify for credentials.

Credentials will not be granted to any online agency operating sites that are in any way af-filiated with gambling, or to “freelance” or “fan-based” sites that are not affiliated with a legiti-mate news gathering organization.

Live, real-time updates of Troy home games are the property of Troy University and unauthorized transmission of such is not permitted.

MEDIA WILL CALL Credentials for all Troy home games will be mailed or distributed at the weekly press confer-ences in most cases. Any unclaimed credentials will be available in the Troy Athletics Media Re-lations office until 5 p.m. on the Friday prior to the game, and at the Media Will Call table inside the entrance of Veterans Memorial Stadium on gameday.

MEDIA ACCESS All media members are asked to enter through the north entrance of the pressbox, then take the service elevator to the fifth floor press-area. Radio, print and TV media are located on the fifth floor, with film and television crews positioned on the fourth-floor film deck.

MEDIA PARKING Parking for the media is located off Luther Drive, in the lot directly across from Hamil Hall and adjacent to the University’s Track & Field/Soccer Complex.

Please notify the Troy Athletics Media Relations staff when requesting credentials if a park pass will be requires.

MID-WEEK INTERVIEWS Interviews of Troy’s coaches and student-athletes are encouraged, and every effort will be made to accomodate media requests. All interviews

JUST TROY, THANK YOU!AP, NCAA, ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, AFCA and TROY athletics

Though the Troy Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is a proud and integral part of Troy University, it desires to be recognized simply as TROY Athletics. Ditto regarding references to its sports teams: TROY football, TROY baseball, TROY golf, etc.

In all sports-related media references, we respectfully urge that the university’s teams be identified with an ap-propriate appellation - TROY. In subsequent references of the same presentation the team may be referred to by its nickname - Trojans.

SUNBELTSPORTS.ORGSunBeltSports.org is the official website of the Sun Belt Confer-ence. Access and download weekly game notes, statistics, me-dia guides and more for the conference and each of its member schools throughout the season. For more information, please con-tact the Sun Belt Conference Office or see a member of the Troy University Media Relations staff on game day.

Stadium Information

The Troy University football program unveiled a newly renovated, $18 mil-lion Veterans Memorial Stadium as the final piece of its Division I-A move in Fall 2003. The project which took more than a year to complete, increased the facility’s seating capacity to 30,000, an increase of more than 12,000 seats.

Construction began on the project in July 2002 and was completed in time for the Trojans’ 2003 home opener against Southeast Louisiana on Septem-ber 20.

The stadium has seen tremendous growth and change during its 54-year existence. It was built for a mere $65,000 as Memorial Stadium in 1950 and seated just 5,000 spectators. Several renovations followed, including in 1998, when the facility moved from a 12,000-seat capacity to 17,500.

Construction began in July 2002 to expand the capacity to 30,000, with the largest part of the project being a new six-story press box structure that houses 27 sky boxes, a state-of-the-art media hosting facility, a unique Tro-jan Stadium Club area that houses more than 1,000 guests and floors dedi-cated to sports medicine, academics, as well as strength and conditioning.

As part of the construction, the Jesse H. Colley Track, which was housed at the stadium, was relocated - making the stadium a football-only venue.

Also gone is the prescrip-tion athletic turf, replaced by “AstroPlay”, an artifi-cial surface that closely resembles grass in feel and appearance. Troy became one of the first schools in the Deep South to install the turf.

A large-screen, end zone replay board was also in-stalled, along with a state-of-the-art sound system.

The strength and conditioning, as well as the sports medicine area, was completed and opened in Fall 2004; completing the makeover for the sta-dium.

More recently, the playing surface at Veterans Memorial Stadium was named in honor of the Trojans’ head coach Larry Blakeney for his dedica-tion and success with the program; making the official name now - Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

VETERANS MEMORIAL STADIUM:A SITE OF MEMORABLE VICTORIES

Over the years, Veterans Memorial Stadium has been home to some of Troy’s greatest victories. Most notably, wins over Marshall (2003), Missouri (2004) and Oklahoma State (2007).

Troy’s victory over Marshall in 2003 got the ball rolling as the Trojans rolled up 254 yards on the ground en route to a 33-24 victory over the na-tionally recognized mid-major program.

The next season featured Troy’s biggest division I victory to that point, all in the national spot-light. In a Thursday night, primetime broadcast on ESPN, the Trojans dominated Missouri and Heisman Trophy hopeful Brad Smith for three quarters after surrendering 14 early points in the first quarter.

Troy rattled off 24 unanswered points, capped by a 33-yard scoring strike from quarterback Aaron Leak to wide receiver Jason Samples in the back of the end zone for the final margin.

The win over the 17th-ranked Tigers sent shock-waves through the football world and the Big 12 conference in particular where one member school that was scheduled to visit Troy during the 2005 season paid its way out of its contract the following week.

It would be three more seasons before another prominent opponent would venture inside the

confines of Veterans Memorial Stadium. In 2007, Oklahoma State brought its high-powered of-fense to Troy for a Friday night, nationally tele-vised ESPN broadcast.

Once again, the Trojans sent a Big 12 opponent away empty handed. This time it was by a final score of 41-23 in a game that was never that close.

Led by Sun Belt Player of the Year signal caller Omar Haugabook, Troy dispatched the Cowboys with a high-powered assault of its own. Hauga-book passed for a career-best 371 yards and ran for 49 more while scoring three touchdowns as the Trojans built a 41-10 lead at the end of three quarters.

In the coming years the Trojans will have another pair of opportunities to defend their home field against high-profile opponents when Navy and Mississippi State visit Veterans Memorial Sta-dium during the 2012 season.

There have been some memorable home victo-ries at Veterans Memorial Stadium where cham-pions have been crowned. The Trojans capped off an undefeated conference campaign in 2009, winning their final regular season game at home - a convincing victory over Arkansas State to cap-ture the Sun Belt Conference championship.

The Trojans also know how to celebrate home-coming at Veterans Memorial Stadium, reeling off win after win on the date in which they bring the alumni back to town.

Considered to the be the top venue in the Sun Belt Conference, Troy holds a 23-4 record in home conference games since joining the league for the 2004 season. The Trojans are 43-6 at Veter-ans Memorial Stadium since joining Division I-A (FBS) and are 89-12-1 at home under head coach Larry Blakeney.

The facility also hosted the final presentation of the Blue-Gray All-Star Classic in 2003. The field was known as Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium from 2004-2009, but reverted to Veterans Memo-rial Stadium in 2010.

The stadium will see another name change in 2011 as it will be known as Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium after a declaration in honor of the head coach.

Sun Belt ConferenceFormed in 1976 the Sun Belt Conference quickly rose to the greatest heights of collegiate athletics by sending a team to the NCAA Final Four in the league’s first year of existence. Fast forward 36 years and the league again finds itself at the pinnacle of collegiate athletics as a member of the 11 league alliance of the Bowl Championship Series. Through it all, the constant has always been success, progress and academic excellence.

The Sun Belt Conference was founded on August 4, 1976 with New Orleans, South Alabama, Georgia State, Jacksonville, North Carolina-Charlotte and South Florida participating in four men’s sports: basketball, golf, soccer and tennis. The Sun Belt Conference began as a home for some of the na-tion’s best independent men’s basketball programs and the six team league didn’t need long to prove that it was an emerging power in college athletics.

In the first season of the league, former member North Carolina-Charlotte reached the pinnacle of collegiate basketball by playing in the Final Four. Along the way Charlotte defeated Central Michi-gan, Syracuse and Michigan to advance to the Final Four. Their miraculous run ended with a 51-49 loss to eventual national champion Marquette. Star forward Cedric Maxwell was selected in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics.

Maxwell was the first in a long line of great Sun Belt men’s basketball stars, as 11 total players have gone on to be first-round selections in the NBA Draft. Those draftees include Dee Brown (Jacksonville – Boston Celtics, 1990), Ervin Johnson (New Orleans – Seattle Sonics, 1993), Derek Fisher (UALR – Los Angeles Lakers, 1996) and Courtney Lee (Western Kentucky University – Orlando Magic, 2008).

In addition to its early found success in men’s basketball, the Sun Belt Conference proved to be a leader in the evolution of the game as well. In 1978 New Orleans defeated South Alabama, 22-20, in the conference tournament championship in a “slowdown” game. As a direct result of this game, the Sun Belt Conference was given approval by the NCAA to adopt a 45-second shot clock for use in conference basketball games for the 1978-79 season. The shot clock has had an everlasting impact on the game of basketball and the Sun Belt Conference is noted for its conception.

1978 was also the beginning of a new way of formatting the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and the NCAA announced the Sun Belt Conference would be one of 24 conferences in the nation that would be given automatic entry into future NCAA basketball national championship playoffs. The NCAA also declared the Sun Belt as one of 16 conferences who would receive a first-round bye in the 1979 tournament.

Hall of Fame head coach Gene Bartow led a number of impressive Alabama-Birmingham men’s bas-ketball squads during the early 1980s with teams that would compete in seven consecutive NCAA Tournaments with stops in the Elite Eight and Sweet Sixteen along the way. UAB joined the league along with Virginia Commonwealth in 1979. Western Kentucky University and Old Dominion would later join the league in 1981.

Further showing its trendsetting nature and evolution, the conference becomes one of the first collegiate organizations to form its own in-house regional television network with conference game-of-the-week telecasts beginning in January 1978. The next year, the Sun Belt Conference became known as a leader in college sports broadcasting by being the first conference to sign a long-term contract with the ESPN cable network. Since that time the Sun Belt Conference has had every men’s basketball championship game broadcasted live on ESPN – making it the longest partnership be-tween ESPN and any collegiate athletic conference.Aside from men’s basketball, the Sun Belt Conference would add additional sports during the first 10 years of the league. Old Dominion won the first-ever Sun Belt Conference women’s basketball tournament in 1983, defeating WKU 78-67. ODU then defeated St. John’s, Maryland, and Penn State

to reach the NCAA Final Four. Future Olympian Anne Donovan of Old Dominion became the first women’s recipient of the Naismith Trophy, recognizing the nation’s finest player.

The Sun Belt became the first conference to place two teams in the women’s basketball NCAA Fi-nal Four as Old Dominion and Western Kentucky earned their way to Austin, Texas in 1985. WKU reached the Final Four by defeating Middle Tennessee, Texas, and Mississippi, while Old Dominion defeated Syracuse, North Carolina State and Ohio State. WKU lost its semifinal match up to Georgia (91-78), but ODU defeated Northeast Louisiana (now Louisiana-Monroe) in the semi-finals and Geor-gia (70-65) for the national championship.

With trips to the Final Four in hand and groundbreaking television deals the Sun Belt Conference proved early on that success and progress were going to be the backbone of the conference. But that was just the beginning for the league. Future decades had change in mind. Changes sparked new members, additional sports and eventually the evolution of the Sun Belt Conference as a member of the Bowl Championship Series.

American South Conference members Arkansas State, Central Florida, Lamar, Louisiana Tech, New Orleans, Southwestern Louisiana (now Louisiana-Lafayette) and Texas-Pan American joined UALR and existing Sun Belt Conference members Jacksonville, South Alabama and Western Kentucky when the two conferences merged in 1991.

The newfound alignment of the league had little problems replicating the success of the early years of the league. In fact, teams from the Sun Belt Conference would once again reach the pinnacle of success during the 1990s. Louisiana Tech and WKU provided some of the most noted women’s bas-ketball teams of all time during the decade. Both programs would reach the national championship game in the Women’s Final Four. Louisiana Tech would make multiple appearances in the Women’s Final Four during the 1990s. In 1993, Arkansas State’s women’s basketball team defeated George Washington, Marquette and SMU to win the WNIT Tournament.

WKU would also add to its men’s basketball legacy in the early 1990s with multiple trips to the NCAA Sweet 16 and postseason rankings in the national polls. New Orleans also strung together a number of notable seasons in postseason men’s basketball berths. Tim Floyd was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year in 1993 after the Privateers reached No. 17 in the national rankings.

The 1990s also saw the emergence of the Sun Belt Conference as a power in college baseball. In fact, the Sun Belt Conference has sent multiple teams to the NCAA tournament each year since 1988. The 23-year streak of having two or more teams reach NCAA play is matched by only four other conferences (ACC, Big West, SEC, Pac-10). The year 2000 started off with a bang for the Sun Belt Conference as Louisiana-Lafayette’s baseball team defeated No. 1 ranked South Carolina to advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The Ragin’ Cajuns posted victories against San Jose State and Clemson before finishing third overall. Their College World Series appearance is the only one by a school while a member of the Sun Belt Conference (New Orleans made it in 1984). Florida International, New Orleans and South Alabama also reached the NCAA post-season that year. The most noted news of the early 2000s though was that the Sun Belt Conference began sponsoring football at the Division I-A level (now known as the Football Bowl Subdivision) in 2001 and an automatic bowl tie-in was formed for its conference champion in the New Orleans Bowl. Prior to the 2001 season only Louisiana-Lafayette had competed at the Division I-A level for the entirety of its program’s history. New members North Texas, Middle Tennessee and New Mexico State would take on the task of maturing into I-A programs along with Arkansas State and football only members Idaho and Louisiana-Monroe.

The conference’s automatic berth into the New Orleans Bowl gave the league credibility, but wins

would be needed to show that the league could contend at the highest level of the game. North Texas carried that responsibility well in the early years of Sun Belt Conference football. The Mean Green would represent the league for four consecutive seasons in the New Orleans Bowl.

One of the first shining moments in Sun Belt football history came in the second New Orleans Bowl in 2002 when North Texas defeated Conference USA co-champion Cincinnati 24-19. More memorable moments would soon follow, but not before the league’s membership took on additional changes. Utah State joined the league briefly as a football playing member but de-parted along with Idaho and New Mexico State following the 2004 season. Troy joined the league as a football only in 2004 and would join as an all-sports member soon thereafter. Florida Atlantic joined initially as a football only member in 2005 and would also enter competition in all sports a couple of years later. FIU, a league member since the late 1990s, began competition in football in 2005 and WKU, a longtime league member, began competition in 2009. Louisiana-Monroe, a founding member of the football league, would join as all-sports member as well.

As the Sun Belt Conference evolved with new members and new found success – the league earned two bowl berths for the first time in 2004 – the state of the Football Bowl Subdivision would also evolve. The Sun Belt Conference entered the ranks of the Bowl Championship Series when the BCS restructured prior to the 2006 season. The Sun Belt Conference now found itself as one of 31 NCAA conferences that sponsor multiple sports, but the league was now one of only 11 to participate in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). With that lofty standing, expectations for the Sun Belt Conference are as high as ever and the league and its mem-ber institutions have consistently delivered in the past few years.

Because of its status as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivi-sion coalition, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the confer-ence has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implementa-tion of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines.

The conference continues to utilize television to grow and pro-mote the league and its member institutions. The Sun Belt Conference signed a new multi-year agreement with ESPN, Inc. in January of 2009 that has resulted in unprecedented national coverage for the league. Additionally, ESPN televised the confer-ence’s men’s basketball championship game for the 31st straight season in 2011, marking its longest affiliation with any confer-ence in the country. The conference’s regional television partner-ship with Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) and Cox Sports Television (CST) enables live telecasts of Sun Belt events to reach millions of households. The addition of volleyball, baseball and softball to the conference’s television package has resulted in more national and regional television exposure for the league than at any time in its history. The Sun Belt Conference has also partnered with multiplatform internet provider NeuLion to deliver a full-service, customized, public and premium website to provide fans with a broad range of real-time information and content about the conference’s athletic teams. The Sun Belt is one of the few conferences in the nation to provide video highlights and features on its website from each of the league’s respective championships. This technology serves as a great recruiting tool for schools by enabling anyone in the world with internet access to view the conference’s championship events.

Success has been easy to find in recent years as well. Since the 2005 football season – the first season following major college football realignment – the Sun Belt Conference ranks fifth out of the 11 FBS conferences in postseason bowl game winning per-centage. In fact, the Sun Belt Conference ranks ahead of noted “Big Six” leagues – the Big 12, ACC and the Big Ten. Furthermore, the Sun Belt Conference outpaces its non-automatic qualifying BCS partners in the WAC, Conference USA and the MAC.

The world has taken notice of the Sun Belt Conference as well. Proof of that comes as the league now has two automatic tie-

ins to postseason bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl recently extended its agreements with the Sun Belt Confer-ence ensuring that a Sun Belt team will play in that bowl game through 2013 (the league has sent a team to that game every year since the game’s inception in 2001). The Sun Belt Conference also signed an agreement with the GoDaddy.com Bowl, played annually in Mobile, Alabama, that will ensure a Sun Belt team plays in that bowl game through 2013.

There has been no shortage of success in the league’s other sports as well in recent years. The Sun Belt Conference has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Baseball Tournament for 23 consecutive seasons. Additionally, the league has sent three or more teams to the NCAAs in 8 of the last 13 seasons. In women’s basketball, the Sun Belt Conference has sent multiple teams to the Women’s NCAA Basketball Championship in three of the last five seasons. This past season UALR and Middle Tennessee both represented the league in the NCAA postseason. Additionally, 2011 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year Chastity Reed from UALR was honored as an All-American and was selected in the WNBA Draft. The league has had five players selected in the WNBA Draft in the last five years.

Once a home to noted men’s basketball coaches like Gene Bartow, Tim Floyd, Wimp Sanderson, Sonny Smith, Lee Rose, Cliff Ellis and Lou Henson the Sun Belt Conference now boasts noted names such as Mike Jarvis and John Brady as league head coaches. As of this year, Sun Belt men’s coaches had amassed a total of 2,850 career victories (2,850-2,100, a 57.6 winning percentage). That number is good enough to rank in the top five nationally for total victories by a conference’s coaches. That’s more wins than the 12 coaches in the SEC can boast – they total 2,773 victories com-bined. And is more than either the Big 12 Conference (2,236) or Conference USA (2,257) with the same number of schools. One of the nation’s all-time greatest softball programs resides in the Sun Belt Conference as Louisiana-Lafayette has advanced to the NCAA Women’s College World Series on five occasions. Most re-cently, the Ragin’ Cajuns played in the annual WCWS in 2008. Ad-ditionally, the Sun Belt Conference led the nation in highest total attendance and average attendance per session for its 2011 Soft-ball Championship held in Lafayette. A record three Sun Belt Con-ference women’s golf teams were selected to participate in the 2011 NCAA Regional Championship as Denver, North Texas and FIU competed in the field. Not to be outdone, three Sun Belt men’s golf teams were selected to the NCAA Regional Championships as North Texas, Middle Tennessee and Denver represented the league. The Sun Belt Conference has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship for 12 consecutive seasons.

The Sun Belt Conference comprises 12 institutions of higher learning while sponsoring 19 championship sports for men and women. Each of the 19 sports has seen numerous team and indi-vidual accomplishments, but in the realm of academic excellence nearly every Sun Belt Conference school is currently graduat-ing its student-athletes at a rate higher than its respective school’s student body. Over 90% of Sun Belt Conference teams earned a multiyear Academic Progress Rate of over 925 as the National Colle-giate Athletic Association (NCAA) recently announced. The Academic Progress Rate is a real-time mea-sure of eligibility and retention of student-athletes competing on every Division I sports team. The Division I Board of Directors set cut scores of 925 and 900 (out of 1,000) as a threshold for teams to meet or face possible immediate and historical sanctions. In total, 92.4% of Sun Belt Conference teams earned a multiyear APR score over 925. Seven institutions had 100% of their programs score above the 925 mark, those institu-

tions are: UALR, Denver, Louisiana-Lafayette, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Troy and Western Kentucky. Arkansas State, Florida Atlantic and FIU all had 94% of their programs score above the 925 mark.

The NCAA also recently announced that ten Sun Belt Programs were honored with the association’s Public Recognition Awards. Seven of the 12 Sun Belt Conference member institutions were recognized by the award which is based on their most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rates. These awards are given each year to teams scoring in the top 10 percent in each sport with their APRs. Middle Tennessee had three total teams listed, while North Texas had two teams recognized. UALR, Louisiana-Monroe, Denver, FIU and Western Kentucky each had one team recognized. Each year the Sun Belt Conference hosts an Academic Summit designed for member institutions to discuss academic support programs for student-athletes and plans for academic reform within the league. The Academic Summit is an annual meeting scheduled to coincide with the Sun Belt Conference Bas-ketball Championships. Since its inception in 2008, the Academic Summit has been a well received gathering for league Presidents, Athletic Directors, Faculty Athletic Representatives, Academic Support Personnel, as well as additional Sun Belt administrators and other national leaders campaigning for academic progress.

This past year’s Academic Summit concentrated on a detailed analysis and evaluation of each member institution’s academic support services, including its facilities and resources used to provide academic support to all student-athletes. There was also a NCAA staff liaison in attendance from the Committee on Aca-demic Performance that presented on many of the national hot topics and specifically the academic reform concepts for two-year college transfers. Also discussed were the institutional policies in place at each campus regarding missed class-time and the as-sessment of academic risk of both the program and of the indi-vidual student-athlete.

Prominent Sun Belt alumni include former United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (Denver), NFL Hall of Fame football player “Mean” Joe Greene (North Texas) former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), former All-Star baseball player Mike Lowell (2007 MLB World Series MVP, FIU), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representa-tives John Breaux (Louisiana-Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (Louisiana-Monroe), and actor Andy Garcia (FIU).

The conference’s first 35 years have also produced numerous in-dividual national champions along with Olympic track medalists including Earl Bell, Tom Hill and Al Joyner (Arkansas State), Hollis Conway (Louisiana-Lafayette), and Tayna Lawrence (FIU). Old Do-minion’s Anne Donovan, who received the Naismith Trophy recog-nizing the nation’s top women’s basketball player in 1983, helped the United States win the Olympic gold medal in 1984 and helped the Lady Monarchs capture the national championship in 1985.

Compliance - Know the RulesPROSPECTSWHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE (PROSPECT)?You are a prospect if you have started classes for the ninth grade. Before the ninth grade, you may become a prospect if a university provides you (or your family or friends) any financial aid or other benefit that is not usually provided to prospective student-athletes.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M BEING RECRUITED?There are several ways to be recruited: (1) A coach may provide you with an official paid visit to view the campus, (2) a coach may arrange an in-person, off-campus meeting with you (or your family) on more than one occasion for the purpose of recruitment. Only coaches and athletic department staff can be involved in the recruiting process. Athletic representatives are prohibited from contacting a prospective student-athlete or members of his/her family by telephone, letter or in person for the purpose of encouraging participation in intercollegiate athletics at Troy University. The coach can take appropriate action.

WHAT IS A CONTACT?A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospect’s parent(s) or legal guardian and an insitu-tional staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of greeting. NOTE: At the Division I level, athletic representatives (boosters) may not contact you for the purpose of recruiting.

WHAT CAN TROY OFFER YOU TO ATTEND?You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangements (e.g. cash, clothing, cars, gifts, loans, etc ...) to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent. Troy University may offer you a one-year scholarship that covers room and board, tuition and fees, and required course-related books, or any part of these. Troy University can recomment that this aid is renewed each year, as is the general practice at the institution, but this renewal is not guaranteed.

BOOSTERSWHO IS A “BOOSTER”?A “booster” is known in NCAA terms as a “representative of the institution’s athletics interests.” You become a booster if: -- you have ever been a member of any organization promoting TROY athletics; -- you have ever made any type of donation to the any TROY booster organiza- tion or club; -- you have ever assisted in evaluating or recruiting prospective student-athletes; -- you have ever assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families; -- you have promoted TROY athletics in any other manner.

NCAA Bylaw 13.02.12.1 mandates that when you become a booster, you retain that identity for the rest of your life. As a representative of TROY’s athletics interests, you are bound by NCAA rules. TROY is responsible for your actions.

INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL“Institutional control” of Athletics is a fundamental requirement of NCAA rules. The NCAA constitution provides that each institution shall be responsible for ensuring that student-athletes, members of the institution’s staff and other individuals or groups that represent the institution’s athletics interest comply with all applicable NCAA regulations.

Because of the complexity of NCAA rules, this document does not include all applicable situations and should not be relied upon exclusively.

Chancellor

DR. JACK HAWKINS, JR.University Chancellor

22nd yearUniversity of Montevallo, ‘70

Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., a native of Mobile, Alabama, was named Chancellor of Troy University Sept. 1, 1989. He earned his bach-elor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Montevallo and his doctorate from the University of Alabama.

Upon completion of his bachelor’s degree in 1967, Hawkins was commissioned a lieuten-ant in the U.S. Marine Corps and served as a platoon leader during the Vietnam War. For his combat duty, he received the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and a citation from the Korean Marine Corps.

Hawkins has overseen an era of change and growth at TROY, as worldwide enrollment has more than doubled from 14,000 in 1989 to approximately 30,000 today. He led the merger of the worldwide Troy State University System into the unified Troy University, an initiative called “One Great University.” More than $200 million has been invested in capital improve-ments by the Hawkins Administration, including new academic buildings on all four of TROY’s Alabama campuses. Chancellor Hawkins served as the catalyst for the University’s evolution to an international institution, as TROY has attracted record numbers of students from other nations and established more than 60 teaching sites around the world. During his tenure, academic standards for admission have been increased, new degree programs were established in all academic colleges, and inter-collegiate athletics joined the highest level of NCAA competition.

Hawkins’ professional background includes his service as an assistant dean at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (1971-1979) and as president of the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind in Talladega (1979-1989).

In 1985, he was honored by the University of Montevallo as Distinguished Alumnus of the Year, and was the recipient of the 2003 All-American Football Foundation’s “Top College President” Award. In 2005 he was inducted

into the Hall of Fame of Murphy High School in Mobile, Alabama. In 2007 he was recognized as the “Alabama Citizen of the Year” by the Alabama Broadcasters Association. In 2011, Dr. Hawkins was recognized with the Chief Executive Leadership Award presented by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).

Three buildings have been named in his honor: the “Jack and Janice Hawkins Chapel” at the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind, the “Hawkins-Adams-Long Hall of Honor” and “Jack Hawkins, Jr. Hall” which serves the College of Education of Troy University. Hawkins was profiled as part of two books published in 2004: “Above and Beyond: Former Marines Conquer the Civilian World” by Rudy Socha and Carolyn Darrow and “The Entrepreneurial College President” by James L.

Fisher and James V. Koch.

Hawkins serves on the board of directors of the Business Council of Alabama, Better Business Bureau of Central Alabama, and Troy Bank and Trust Company. He is chairman of the Governor’s Committee on Employment of the Disabled, and the Air University Board of Visitors at Maxwell Air Force Base. He also serves as chairman of the Southern Association Colleges and Schools (SACS) Board of Directors and as President of the Sun Belt Conference Executive Committee. He has served on the Board of Directors of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), as Chairman of the Council of University Presidents in Alabama (1999-2001) and as President of the Southland Football League. He has also served as a trustee of Talladega College, the Helen Keller Eye Research Foundation, and the American Foundation for the Blind. He is a member of the Troy Rotary Club.

Dr. Hawkins’ family includes his wife, Janice, and daughters Katie and Kelly. Katie is married to Capt. Dan Beall of the United States Air Force and the couple has one son, Noah and a daugh-ter, Ellyotte. Dr. and Mrs. Hawkins are members of the First Baptist Church of Troy.

Director of Athletics

STEVE DENNISDirector of Athletics

7th yearUniversity of Georgia, ‘82

Steve Dennis is in his sixth year as the Director of Athletics for Troy University in 2010 and his tenure has been marked by continued growth of all of Troy’s athletics programs in the Sun Belt Conference and Division I.

Since his arrival at Troy in March of 2005 Dennis’ focus has been on the most important part of any athletics program, the student-athletes. Due to that emphasis Troy University student-athletes have led all members of the Sun Belt Conference, as well as all public institutions of higher education in Alabama, in Graduation Success Rate every year since his arrival.

Over his four years Troy University student-athletes have posted grade point averages of 3.0 or better for a year more than 600 times. That high academic standard led Troy to enjoy the highest level of suc-cess possible under the NCAA’s Academic Progress Report for the 2008-09 and the 2009-10 school years, with all 16 NCAA sports above the mandated 92.5 percent.

Troy University’s student-athletes have flourished on the field of play as well as in the class room. Troy’s baseball program has had 16 players drafted or signed to professional contracts while the football program has sent 24 players into professional foot-ball, including first-round draft picks DeMarcus Ware and Leodis McKelvin.

The Troy football program has been especially suc-cessful under the watchful eye of Steve Dennis. The Trojans have won four consecutive Sun Belt Conference titles and have appeared in three bowl games since his arrival as Director of Athletics. That success on the field has translated to success in the stands as Troy has led the Sun Belt Conference in football attendance in each of the last four seasons.

The last five years have also been marked by con-struction and growth of Troy University’s athletics facilities. The soccer and track teams moved into a brand-new facility. Riddle-Pace Field underwent $5 million in renovations that included the construction of the Lott Baseball Complex. Veterans Memorial Stadium saw the addition of two new luxury boxes and construction is under way for a brand-new multi-purpose arena that is expected to be open in time for the 2011-12 basketball season.

Dennis has also shepherded the athletics depart-ment through NCAA certification and, at the same time, completed a five-year strategic plan for the program’s continued growth.

Externally, Dennis was instrumental in the formation of the Trojan Warriors, the athletic department’s booster club, as well as “The Legion” a student sup-port group. Both groups have grown to more than 500 members in a short time and continue to grow annually. The athletics department also entered into a marketing agreement with International Sports Properties of Winston-Salem, NC, an agreement that was just renewed in 2009.

Other external accomplishments have included chartering the “T” Letterman’s Club as a chapter of the Troy University National Alumni Association and the establishment of the Al Lucas Endowment for Student-Athlete Excellence.

Over the last five years the Troy Athletics Department has hosted numerous state and regional athletics events, including the Sun Belt Conference Softball Championship in 2008 and the SBC Baseball Championship in 2009. Other events have included Special Olympics, AHSAA and AISA championships.

Dennis came to the Troy family from Auburn University, where he served in a variety of capacities beginning in 1985.

His final assignment was as the Associate Director of Tigers Unlimited, the Athletics Department’s Development office. In that position, he was respon-sible for identifying, cultivating and soliciting support from individuals, private industry and corporations for the Athletics Department.

A native of Macon, Ga., Dennis graduated from the University of Georgia, Cum Laude, in 1978.

While at Georgia, he was the Bulldogs’ defensive cap-tain in 1978 and was an Academic All-Southeastern Conference selection that same season. During his playing career, he played in three bowl games for the Bulldogs.

His foundation as a student-athlete guides Dennis in his quest to take Troy athletics toward great things in the future.

Dennis started his professional career as a high school teacher, football coach and baseball coach in Windsor (Ga.).

He started his collegiate coaching career at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1981. In four-plus seasons, he coached outside lineback-ers, the defensive line and special teams for the Moccasins.

Dennis went to work as the defensive backs and spe-cial teams coach at Auburn in 1985, and he remained on the Tigers’ staff for eight seasons. He was named the SEC Working Coach of the Year in 1986 by The Birmingham Touchdown Club.

During his initial stint with the Tigers, he coached alongside current Troy head coach Larry Blakeney. Current Troy assistant coach Shayne Wasden, as well as former assistant coaches Mike Pelton and James Joseph, all played for the Tigers while Dennis served on the coaching staff.

Dennis returned to his alma mater in December of 1993, and worked as the defensive backs and special teams coach for the Bulldogs for two seasons.

From 1997 until 2002, Dennis was out of college ath-letics. He worked in sales, marketing and promotions for Georgia Southern Wood, Inc., serving in that role from 1997 until 2000. He then worked at Cleveland Brothers Construction from 2000 until 2002.

Dennis returned to Auburn to coach tight ends in 2002, before moving to fund-raising within the Auburn Athletics Department in 2003. During his college coaching career, he was part of seven bowl teams and one Division I-AA playoff team.

Dennis and his wife, Lisa, have four children - Chris, Cale, Corey and Allison.

Season Preview - The Quest For Six Titles Is On ComingoffashareofafifthstraightSunBeltConferencetitle,the Troy Trojans went into spring practice looking to build depth atseveralkeyspotswhilealsofindingreplacementsfordepartedstarters. The Trojans capped their 2010 campaign with a convincing vic-tory over Ohio University in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl in December but return only four starters on the offensive side of the ball. Troy is much more experienced on defense with 11 players whohavesignificantstartingexperiencereturning. Like most years, the key areas of focus were on the offensive and defensive lines, but another area with numerous vacancies to fillisreceiver,wherefiveseniors–includingtheSunBeltConferenceall-timeleaderinall-purposeyards,JerrelJernigan–andtwooth-ers with 20 or more receptions last year, must be replaced. Defensively, the Trojans lose a starting end and a starting line-backer, but return six players in the secondary, including safety Barry Valcin who missed the entire 2010 season following a freak ankle injury suffered just days before the season-opener. Troy coach Larry Blakeney, who will be in his 21st season in 2011, said the message he shares with his team is no different this year from any other. “You always have to be motivated to win a championship, and that is what I talk about,” Blakeney said. “We are used to winning but, like I say every year, the team that wins it will probably have to overcome a loss. We had to overcome two losses last year.” Blakeney said the momentum the team gained from consecutive wins at the end of the season, capped by the bowl victory, sent the Trojans into the off season on a high note.

“The bowl win is a real positive,” Blakeney said. “Our account-ability program has been good again. The team concept, with peer pressure, is big for us. It gives all of them something to talk about during the off season.” Work on the defensive side of the ball in the spring was fo-cusedonfillingtheopeningsinthestartinglineupwhile,atthesametime, building the depth necessary to compete at a high level in the fourth quarter or when injuries take players out of the mix. Up front, junior Jonathan Massaquoi is back at one defensive end position from a sophomore campaign in which he piled up 76 tackles, including 20.5 for loss and 13.5 sacks. Expectations in 2011 are high for Massaquoi, who has been named to several preseason award watch lists. On the other side, senior John Robles (16 tackles) and Brandon Boudreaux (6 tackles) head a list of candidates to replace depart-ed senior Mario Addison (47 tackles, 15.5 TFL, 10.5 sacks). Robles, especially,hasbenefittedfromspendingafullyear,includingthesummer, on the Troy campus. He has transformed himself from a thin speed end, to a powerful end with speed. “We signed two JC guys who have a chance to help us,” Blak-eney said of Xavian Evans and Marty Stadom. “We really want to redshirt them, but we probably won’t be able to. We have some guys inside who may be able to play outside, but those two junior college ends may be able to come in and give us some depth.” On the inside, senior Emanuel Dudley is back at nose tackle and junior Tony Davis returns at defensive tackle. Both have a host of experienced players behind them, giving the Trojans solid depth.

With Tony Davis and Dudley, those are the two savvy, not very pretty and not very big, guys who know how to play with their hands,” Blakeney said. A duo who will enter camp behind Dudley at nose tackle are junior Jeremy Elder and sophomore Shermane Teart. “Elderhasworkedhardanddonewellaway from thefield,”Blakeney said. “I am proud of his evolution as a man. Teart did some good things in the spring at nose and shows hope.” Behind Davis at tackle, sophomores John Clark and Aaron Wil-liams have both shown signs of becoming contributors. “Clark really needs to come on for us and be a player,” Blak-eney said. “He has a chance to be a good player if he can continue to grow. He is taller with long arms and is what you want in a three. I hope the clock ticks and the light comes on for Aaron Williams. He is a great kid, but has to stay healthy.” The other starting vacancy on defense is at the Sam linebacker/NickelpositionformerlyoccupiedbyDanielSheffield(78tacklesin 2010). Junior Kanorris Davis (43 tackles) and sophomore Johnny Thompson, who suffered a broken leg in the opener last year, are expectedtofillthevoidnicely. “Kanorris and Johnny have really improved,” Blakeney said. “They have great ability and if they will continue to learn and be in the right position, they have a chance to make big things happen. Both of them made plays in the spring.” Senior Xavier Lamb (91 tackles) returns at the Mike linebacker spot with a redshirt freshman, Brach Bessant, and junior transfer Ty Burt behind him. Junior Brannon Bryan (24 tackles) returns after starting thefinal fourgames last yearatWill linebacker. JuniorJacobyThomas(23tackles),whohasfilledanumberofrolesonthedefense, is behind Bryan. “Xavier and Jocoby both had good springs,” Blakeney said. “I think there is hope for Bessant as well. Brannon Bryan was a cata-

lyst in our last four games. He is a walk-on who earned a scholar-ship and helped us. Injuries could hurt us, but I think we have quality guys in the two-deep.” Thesecondarywasinconstantfluxlastyearduetograduationin injury losses. The up side is that the Trojans return a host of play-ers with starting experience, but it was a newcomer who made the biggest impression during the spring. Junior Brynden Trawick was a mid-term junior college signee from Northeast Mississippi CC who turned heads with his size (6-3, 210) and play during the spring. “Trawick is a good guy back there,” Blakeney said. “He can cover some ground and has great ball skills. I am excited about him. He is a coach’s son and has already matured a lot since he has been here.” Trawick’s play in the spring moved him past senior LaDarrius Madden (49 tackles, three interceptions) into the starting role at strong safety. Another newcomer, sophomore Angelo Hadley a mid-term JC signee from Butler County CC in Kansas, has a chance to provide added depth. At the other safety spot, Barry Valcin returns after missing the 2010 season with an ankle injury. He had 51 tackles as an 11-game starter in 2009. He is joined by sophomore Cameron Hudson (27 tackles). In addition, freshman Joe Lofton showed that he might be ready to contribute sooner rather than later. Both corner spots are stacked with players who enter 2011 with starting experience. Senior Jimmie Anderson (28 tackles) returns on one side where he will get support from junior college transfer

David Whitmore and junior Bryan Willis (31 tackles). Sophomore Chris Pickett (37 tackles) enters the fall as the starter on the other side. Junior college transfer D.J. Jones, who started his collegiate career at Wake Forest and Willis will provide depth. “Jimmie Anderson is a great play-maker, but he is the smallest guy we have,” Blakeney said. “I think Pickett has a great future, Cam Hudson had a good spring and I was impressed with Hadley. Getting Valcin back is big because he is a good player. Madden is good and Joe Lofton made some plays in the spring game. Bryan Willis needs to play within his abilities. The minute he gets to think-ing he can do too much is when he gets hurt.” Trojans defensive coordinator Jeremy Rowell said the focus go-ing into fall camp will be on solidifying depth. “Depth is always a concern,” Rowell said. “Depth at linebacker and at defensive end is especially a concern. We have depth there, but it is inexperienced depth. We can move some guys around if we have to. Most of the guys we have at linebacker are interchange-able.” Ontheoffensivesideoftheball,evenwiththelossoffiveseniorreceivers, there is reason to believe the Trojans will be as produc-tive as in 2010 when they averaged 34.1 points and 453.5 yards per game. That optimism starts at the quarterback position where sophomore Corey Robinson returns. The 2010 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year, and New Orleans Bowl MVP,passedfor3,726yardsand28touchdownsduringhisfirstseason of collegiate competition, completing 63.6 percent of his throws while averaged 286.6 passing yards per game. “I think it is pretty obvious that how he (Robinson) goes is how we go,” Blakeney said. “He knows that and we know that. Corey needs to be the total guy who understands the situation at all times. He is starting to realize some things and that, as well as little things like carrying out fakes, running every now and then when it is there, will be big.”

Offensive coordinator Kenny Edenfield said he has seen hissophomoresignalcallergrowsignificantlywithhisleadershipskillssince late last season. “From the last couple of games last season until now he has re-allyimprovedhisleadership,”Edenfieldsaid.“Hehasmoreofanunderstanding and a good feel for what we want to do. He has gotten to the point where he is able to say ‘hey coach, what about ...’. When they get to that point, where they are seeing what you want and they can start to make some suggestions, then I think you are headed in the right direction.” The big question mark at quarterback is with the backups. Se-nior Jamie Hampton went through spring without contact after suf-fering a compound leg fracture in early October. With him out of action, Robinson had to take virtually every snap at quarterback the rest of the way in 2010. Having Hampton back will be impor-tant this fall because there are only freshmen behind him. “Hopefully,hecanstayhealthy,”Edenfieldsaid.“Hehasreallytaken a leadership role with all of these young receivers this sum-mer. He has had them over to eat together. They have worked hard together. It is going to be really exciting, if he can stay healthy, and that is always the question. We have to make sure we keep his arm ready to roll and make sure he doesn’t take too many hits.” A pair of freshmen, who both gray-shirted in 2010, went through spring practice in an effort to give the team some insurance in case Robinson were to go down. Luke Barnes had a slight edge over K.D. Edenfield in the spring,but thepairwill enter the fallonalmostequal footing. They will be joined by a pair of true freshmen in camp. Dallas Tidwell is a signee from Gardendale who has the height (6-6), but

has not yet filled in. Fellow freshman,walk-onHunterArmstrongfromGreenville,willalsobeonthefieldduringfallcamp. AsEdenfieldsaid, thekeyfortheoffensivewillbe inprotect-ing Robinson. Senior James Brown, an Outland Trophy candidate, is back at left tackle, and junior left guard Kyle Wilborn is expected back after off-season shoulder and ankle surgeries. The other three spots are still up for grabs with only junior Jacob Creech, who start-ed three games before a season-ending shoulder surgery, having anysignificantexperience. Senior Zach Swindall came out of spring as the starter at center and redshirt freshman Terrence Jones has a leg up at right tackle. “I think those guys up front are going to be better,” Blakeney said. “Terrence Jones had to go against Massaquoi every day dur-ing the spring and he held his own. There are some young guys who haveachancetohelpus–CodyWoodiel,ZachJohnson,DaltonBennett. Jared Fleming has shown signs of being able to play. We also have some junior college guys coming in who can give us some depth.” The Trojans must also replace Donnie Crosby at tight end and haveapairofsophomoresreadytofillthevoid.UCFtransferJimTeknipp has a slight edge over Gavin Ellis, but both with play. “Both guys at tight end have grown and gotten better,” Blakeney said. “I think we have to do a better job of getting the ball to them in position to catch it.” EdenfieldsaidtheduogivestheTrojanssomeoffensiveoptionsthat have not been available in the past. “They give us some versatility and they will both be in the game atthesametimesome,”Edenfieldsaid.“Bothofthemhavereallygood hands, but they are also physical guys. They are both sopho-mores who have a bright future. If we can develop a package for them and develop it over the next couple of years, they can really help us. We’ve never really had this type of guy before. We’ve had some guys who just worked hard and did what they could do, but

both of these guys are true tight ends.” Among true receivers, only two return with experience from last year. Senior Brett Moncrief, who missed all of spring drills as well as summer individual work as the result of a broken foot, had 16 receptions for 214 yards and two scores in 2010 to lead all return-ers. Sophomore Eric Thomas had nine receptions for 120 yards and a score. Theonlythreeotherreturningplayerswhorecordedatleastfivereceptions in 2010 are all running backs. That group, which includes juniors Shawn Southward, Chris Anderson and D.J. Taylor, can ex-pect to see their opportunities to catch the ball increase in 2011. “Chris Anderson has cross trained at receiver and running back,” Edenfieldsaid.“HeandJustinAlbertcanplayeitherpositionfulltime so we have the possibility of starting a set with two backs and then going to four wide. We will be able to have some personnel issues that will create some opportunities for guys. D.J. Taylor gives us an opportunity to do that as well by splitting him out. We are hoping some of that stuff will play into helping those young receiv-ers, especially early on.” Despite the loss of the large group of receivers, the Trojans have a host of talented players ready to step up. Junior college transfer Corey Johnson from Garden City CC in Kansas showed he has the ability to be a playmaker and young players like Albert and B.J. Chitty, among others, will also have an opportunity. “We have zero production coming back from last year, and we arelookingforwhowillbethoseproductiveguys,”Edenfieldsaid.“We had a good spring, and we have an idea coming out of spring, but things change. Last summer we had two or three guys who re-ally busted their tails and turned into productive players. That is the fun part of coaching, trying to see who will be that next guy to step

up. I think that we have some guys, but they are just all inexperi-enced.” Despite the loss of DuJuan Harris, a career 2,500 yard rusher, and Jernigan, who ran for 322 yards in 2010, the Trojans have two-time leading rusher Shawn Southward back as a junior along with fellow juniors Chris Anderson (388), D.J. Taylor (60) and T.J. Mitchell (74). “Shawn Southward is good,” Blakeney said. “I have been im-pressed with D.J. Taylor as a runner, a blocker and as a receiver. He has come a long ways. Justin Albert has shown us a lot. He can move back and forth from running back to H, a lot like Chris Anderson. He is a pretty cagy guy.” On special teams, both kicker Michael Taylor (17-22 on FG) and punter Will Goggans (42.2 ypp) return for their senior seasons. The question will be in replacing Jernigan in the return game where he piled up 306 yards on punt returns and 630 on kickoffs, scoring a touchdown on each. “I think Corey Johnson and Justin Albert will be back on punts and Southward and Anderson on kickoffs,” Blakeney said. “I think we are going to be OK on special teams. Both the kicker and punter are seniors and are solid guys.” Going after a sixth straight Sun Belt title will be a daunting task, but one the Trojans are gearing up for in 2011. The adventure will start at Clemson on September 3.

For the past two decades there have been very few constants in college athletics.

Schools have changed conferences, often more than once. Coaches have pledged loyalty to a school, only to bolt for another job the next day. Student-athletes have gotten bigger, and stronger, and the academic requirements they must meet in order to compete have become increasingly more strin-gent.

Among the few constants on the landscape of college football is Trojans head coach Larry Blakeney.

Entering his 21st season in 2011, Blakeney, quite simply, has been a winner throughout his career.

A 2009 inductee into the prestigious Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Blakeney has been at the forefront of the move of the entire Troy University athletics program from the ranks of Division II, through Division I-AA and into Division I-A. He has run a program that is based on integrity and has been regularly recognized by the American Football Coaches Association for high graduation rates.

Throughout his career, Blakeney has been recognized by his peers, by the people he has worked for and with, and by the sporting community at large. He has been named to four separate Halls of Fame, has been named Coach of the Year on numerous occasions and he gives generously of his time to almost any group or organization who asks for it.

This past spring, Blakeney was awarded with the ultimate honor - the playing surface at the uni-versity’s home stadium was to be named after the legendary head coach. The home field at Troy University will now, and forever be known as Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

But his impact on Troy athletics goes beyond wins and losses. Yes, the Trojans have captured eight conference titles during his tenure. Yes, the Trojans have literally sent scores of players on to success-ful careers as professional football players.

But the Troy football program has sent thousands of men on to successful lives away from football. Many of the players who have come to Troy to play for Blakeney never had a positive male role model in their lives. That changes when they become Trojans.

Even with all of the obligations and responsibilities that come with the job, if you ask any player who has taken the field for the Trojans over the last 20 years, they will tell you that he is a players’ coach. He cares about the young men who play for him, and not just during their time at Troy.

From his time as a quarterback at Auburn University, to his highly successful high school coach-ing career, from his 14 years as an assistant coach at his alma mater when the Tigers enjoyed an unprecedented run of success to his now 20 seasons at Troy University, Blakeney has always been associated with a job well done.

His tenure at Troy University has been nothing less than remarkable. During his 20 years, he has led the Trojans to a 161-82-1 record, posting the third-best winning percentage among all programs in the state of Alabama during that span.

As the school’s longest-serving and most successful head coach of all time, Blakeney led the Troy football program to an unequaled run of success that has taken the Trojans from Division II to the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and now to the grandest stage of all, the Football Bowl

Subdivision (FBS).

Blakeney has guided the Trojans to 15 winning seasons, including six seasons of 10 wins or more and he currently stands fourth among all college coaches to have manned a sideline in the state of Alabama with 161 victories. Since guiding the Trojans into the Sun Belt Conference in 2004, Blakeney has enjoyed what can only be termed stunning success at the highest level of the game. In six seasons his teams have won five conference crowns and appeared in five bowl games.

Blakeney enters his 21st season at Troy University seeking a sixth consecutive Sun Belt Conference title. Only three programs in the history of what is now the Football Bowl Subdivision have won as many as six straight league crowns – Ohio State in the Big 10 (6, 1972-77), USC in the Pac 10 (7, 2002-08) and BYU in the WAC (10, 1976-85).

The Trojans joined an exclusive list last season with their fifth consecutive conference crown. Only two other programs in the history of what is now the Football Bowl Subdivision have won as many as five straight league crowns – Florida State in the ACC (5, 1996-2000) and Alabama in the SEC (5, 1971-75).

Not surprisingly, the coaches of those championship runs have gone down in history as some of the best in the history of the game – Bobby Bowden at FSU, Paul “Bear” Bryant at Alabama, Woody Hayes at OSU, Pete Carroll at USC and Lavelle Edwards at BYU.

A sixth straight Sun Belt title in 2011 would give Blakeney his rightful place among the all-time greats of the game; tying him with Woody Hayes of Ohio State for consecutive conference crowns.

The run of championship success in the Sun Belt started in 2006 when, in just the third season in the league, the Trojans captured their first Sun Belt Conference title. They completed that remarkable season by winning the first bowl game in school history, a decisive 41-17 victory over Rice in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

The championship roll continued in 2007 as the Trojans earned a share of their second consecutive title, posting an 8-4 record that included nationally-televised victories over Oklahoma State and Middle Tennessee.

The roll did not stop in 2008, as the Trojans won their third straight Sun Belt Conference crown, earn-ing their second appearance in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl in 2008. The season included nationally-televised victories over Middle Tennessee and Florida Atlantic as the Trojans recorded eight victories for the third consecutive season in the FBS.

In 2009 Blakeney guided the Trojans to the first perfect 8-0 record in Sun Belt Conference history in earning a fourth straight league crown. He was awarded the Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year Award for the second straight year due to his team’s first outright Sun Belt Conference champion-ship.

The 2010 team kept the streak alive with their fifth consecutive crown after finishing the conference season with a 6-2 mark. The season included a nationally-televised victory over Middle Tennessee on the road, and a a victory in the team’s third trip to the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl over Ohio on ESPN. The Trojans recorded eight or more wins for the fifth consecutive time playing in the FBS.

The program made its first splash in the Sun Belt Conference in 2004 by producing a 7-5 record that included the schools’ first-ever bowl bid, a trip to California for the Silicon Valley Classic. The grand unveiling of a renovated Veterans Memorial Stadium was highlighted by a 24-14 upset of nationally-ranked Missouri that was televised live by ESPN.

In 2003, the Trojans posted a 6-6 mark against one of the most challenging schedules in the nation. The slate included eight road games, contests that included traditional powers Kansas State, Minne-sota, Nebraska and Virginia. In addition, the Trojans defeated Marshall and UAB, and played four other schools from the Sun Belt Conference.

The Trojans played their first official season as a FBS member in 2002 after going 7-4 in their “transi-tion” season in 2001. Included in the 2001 win total were three wins over FBS foes and a monumental upset of SEC power Mississippi State, the school’s first victory over a BCS-conference school. Of the team’s four losses, three came against opponents ranked in the Top 15 nationally; national-runner-up Nebraska, 15th-ranked Maryland and national champion Miami, Fla.

In 2002, the Trojans were 4-8 against a schedule that included games against two SEC schools, three Big 12 opponents, in-state rival UAB and perennial bowl participant Marshall. The Troy defense finished fourth in the nation in total defense despite the challenging slate.

While a member of the FCS, the Trojans enjoyed one of the most successful runs in school history. Over eight seasons, the Trojans advanced to the national semifinals twice and the FCS postseason seven times, including an NCAA-record four consecutive seasons after making the move from NCAA Division II in 1993.

When the Trojans jumped to FBS status, Blakeney made NCAA history, becoming one of only two coach-es to lead a program from NCAA Division II to the FBS, joining Central Florida’s Gene McDowell.

Blakeney’s journey at Troy University began on December 3, 1990, when he was hired as the 20th head coach in school history. During the 1980s, Troy won two NCAA Division II national championships, but the program was in a rebuilding phase upon Blakeney’s arrival. In the three years prior to his arrival, the Trojans had combined for a 13-17 overall record.

His first two seasons came during the “transition” period in the move to FCS status. The program was still technically Division II, although it was not allowed to compete in the playoffs. Blakeney’s first team finished 5-6, but a 10-1 second year, which included a 41-7 win over FBS member Arkansas State, gave Troy fans a glimpse of what was to come.

Troy hit its first full season of FCS play running in 1993 when Blakeney led the Trojans to a 12-1-1 finish and a berth in the FCS semifinals. The 10-0-1 regular season finish was the program’s first undefeated

season in school history while playing a complete schedule. Troy finished the regular season as the top-ranked team in country according to the Sports Network.

The following season brought an 8-4 record and another berth in the playoffs. The Trojans lost in the first round at James Madison, but they proved they deserved a spot among the elite programs, finishing the year ranked 12th.

The 1995 season brought the first unbeaten and untied regular season to the school annals when Troy took an 11-0 record into the postseason before losing in the first round to Georgia Southern. Troy entered the playoffs ranked third in the nation.

For all of the success the team enjoyed in its first three FCS seasons, Blakeney’s rebuilding skills were displayed once again during the 1996 season after the loss of 23 seniors from the 1995 squad. Going into its first season of play in the Southland Football League, the Trojans won the league by posting a 5-1 mark and a 10-1 record overall. Troy finished the year 12-2 and again marched to the FCS semifinals. That netted a fourth-place finish in the Sports Network Top 25 and a 12th-place ranking in the ESPN/USA Today poll.

The 1996 seniors certainly left their mark, finishing their careers as the all-time most successful class at Troy with a 43-8-1 mark over four years. That eclipsed the 1995 senior class that had amassed a 41-7-1 record.

Those groups represented Blakeney’s first two recruiting classes at Troy. The Trojans became the first team in NCAA history to advance to the FCS playoffs in their first four seasons of eligibility, and finished with seven playoff berths in eight full seasons of FCS membership.

Untimely, injuries and four losses by seven points or less doomed the 1997 team as it slipped to a 5-6 record despite an early-season ranking that saw the Trojans rise as high as number two nation-ally. A return to the FCS playoffs in 1998 highlighted an 8-4 season that saw the Trojans finish 11th (Sports Network) and 13th (ESPN/USA Today) in the polls.

The Trojans climbed back to the top of the charts in 1999 when they were the consensus top-ranked team in the country for a four-week period en route to finishing 11-2 overall and winning the South-land League football championship. The Trojans also advanced to the FCS quarterfinals and finished with a number six national ranking in all three polls. Senior defensive lineman Al Lucas became the first National Player of the Year in school history by winning the Buck Buchanan Award as the top FCS defensive player.

Blakeney won back-to-back SFL Coach of the Year awards in 1999 and 2000, and was also honored as Regional Coach of the Year in back-to-back years by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). During the summer of 2000, he was honored with the Johnny Vaught Lifetime Achievement Award by the All-American Football Foundation.

Prior to his arrival in Troy, Blakeney had a variety of roles in his 14 seasons at Auburn. He began

his coaching career as the assistant offensive line coach during the 1977 and 1978 sea-sons. That was followed by stints with the Tigers’ tight ends and wide receivers coach from 1978 until 1980, and then a focus strictly on wide receivers from 1981 until 1990.

From 1986-90, Blakeney was also the Tigers’ offensive play-caller. During that time, Auburn posted a 47-10-3 record and won three Southeastern Conference championships. They also were 3-1-1 in bowl games over that span.

Auburn had a 110-50-3 record during his time with the program, including four SEC cham-pionships and nine bowl appearances (6-2-1). In 1990, he was honored by the Chilton County Auburn Club with its “Unsung Hero Award.”

Before joining the coaching staff at his alma mater, Blakeney coached seven seasons in the Alabama high school ranks. He was the head coach at Southern Academy (1970-71), Walker High School (1972-74) and Vestavia Hills High School (1975-76). He compiled a 50-24-2 record during his time as a prep head coach.

A 1970 graduate of Auburn University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administra-tion, Blakeney was a three-year letterman (1966-69) at quarterback for the legendary Ralph “Shug” Jordan. He was the first sophomore ever to start at quarterback for Jordan, and Auburn played in two bowl games during Blakeney’s career. The 1968 team defeated Arizona 34-10 in the Sun Bowl, while the 1969 squad lost 36-7 to Houston in the Bluebon-net Bowl.

Blakeney was a two-sport star for the Tigers, also lettering in baseball (1968-69) while playing shortstop and third base for legendary coach Paul Nix.

He earned his Master’s degree in Education from the University of Montevallo in 1976.

Blakeney was born September 21, 1947, in Birmingham, but grew up in Gordo where he played football, baseball and basketball at Gordo High School.

He is married to the former Janice Powell. The couple has three daughters, Kelley and twins, Julie and Tiffany.

Kelley, a graduate of Troy University and the UAB Medical School, is a doctor of pathol-ogy in Columbia, Tenn. Julie, a Troy marketing graduate, works for an insurance agency in Birmingham and recently married Adam Ivory of Tallahassee, Fla. Tiffany, who gradu-ated with an International Business degree from Troy University, lives with her husband Jason Rash in Atlanta.

The Blakeney’s have three granddaughters; Caroline Elizabeth Taylor, Madeline Ann Rash and Danielle Avery Rash.

Jeff Beckles begins his second season as an assistant coach at Troy University as he will be in charge of the running backs.

Beckles was hired as Troy’s running backs coach in February 2010 after spending 2007-09 in the same capacity at Central Michigan University. Beckles worked with Troy’s talented pair of runners Dujuan Harris and Shawn Southward in his first season, 2010. During his first season, the Trojans rushed for over 2000 yards; with Harris going over the 100-yard mark at the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

While under Beckles’ tutelage in 2009, CMU running backs combined for three 100-yard rushing efforts. The six running backs the Chippewas used during the season combined for 1,299 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns.

CMU used a combination of five different running backs in 2008, with the group combining to rush for 1,043 yards and 12 touchdowns. Ontario Sneed led the group with 548 yards and a team-high eight rushing touchdowns. Sneed finished his career eighth in school history in career rushing yards.

Beckles also worked directly with Bryan Schroeder who, in his first career start as a true freshman, ran for 106 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-28 win over Western Michigan.

In 2007, five CMU running backs combined to rush for 1,392 yards and 16 touchdowns. Justin Hoskins was an All-MAC third team selection after running for 664 yards, averaging 5.8 yards per carry and scoring 10 touchdowns.

Beckles, who coached receivers at CMU during the 2003 season, returned to CMU following one sea-son as an assistant at Georgia Southern. He coached the Eagles’ receivers and served as recruiting coordinator for the 2006 season.

Beckles sandwiched a pair of stints at Georgia around his previous time at CMU. In 2002, he was part of a coaching staff that led the Bulldogs to a 13-1 record and 26-13 win over Florida State in the Sugar Bowl. The 2004 Georgia squad finished 10-2 and defeated Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl, while the 2005 team was 10-3 and played in the Sugar Bowl against West Virginia. Beckles was a graduate assistant working with the wide receivers during each of those seasons. He was a part of two SEC Championship teams (2002 & 2005) while on the staff at Georgia.

Beckles began his coaching career by working at four high schools in Florida and Georgia from 1994-98. He broke into the college ranks in 1999, coaching running backs at Nicholls State. Beckles spent two seasons there before moving to South Florida, where he worked with the receivers and running backs as a graduate assistant in 2001. The Bulls finished 8-3 in 2001, their first full season at the Division I-A level.

Beckles earned a bachelor’s degree in social science education from Florida State in 1994 and a master’s degree in sport management from Georgia in 2005. He was a wide receiver on Florida State teams that won five consecutive bowl games, the program’s first Atlantic Coast Conference championship under head coach Bobby Bowden and a national title in 1993. He was part of a Semi-noles recruiting class that included Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward as well as Terrell Buckley. In four seasons at Florida State he played in the Sugar, Fiesta, Orange and Cotton Bowls.

Randy Butler begins his fourth season as an assistant coach on the Troy University football staff, bringing 32 years of collegiate coaching experience with him.

In 2008 and 2009, Butler guided the development of two defensive ends who spent the 2010 sea-son in the NFL – Cameron Sheffield and Brandon Lang. Lang leaves Troy with the third most tackles for loss in school history with 38 and 10th most sacks with 23.5. Sheffield finished his career ranked 8th in Troy history with 28.5 TFL.

Last season, Butler instructed two of the top defensive ends in the Sun Belt Conference, as each was honored at the conclusion of the season. The duo of Jonathan Massaquoi and Mario Addison combined for 123 total tackles, while recorded 24 sacks and 36 TFL. The duo wreaked havoc in op-ponents’ backfields all season, and even came up with seven quarterback hurries and four fumble recoveries throughout 2010.

Butler came to Troy from Southern Miss, where he spent 17 of his 29 seasons as a college coach in various roles. During his time at Southern Miss, Butler spent seven seasons coaching tight ends and 10 years coaching defensive linemen. He also spent seven seasons as the assistant head coach, and three as the recruiting coordinator for the Golden Eagles.

In his final three seasons at Southern Miss, Butler coached three-time All-Conference USA selection Shawn Nelson, who had the three best years ever by a tight end in school history. He registered 35 catches for 540 yards and five touchdowns as a freshman, 36 catches for 506 yards and three touch-downs as a sophomore and 33 catches for 455 yards and five touchdowns as a junior. He was named the New Orleans Bowl Most Valuable Player in 2005, posting six catches for 121 yards and two touch-downs. Butler also coached the tight end position at Southern Miss during the 1993 and 1994 seasons.

In 1994, he coached former Golden Eagle standout Terry Hardy, who was later drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the fifth round and played several years in the National Football League.

In his nine years on the defensive side of the ball, Butler was an integral part of helping continue the tradition of Southern Miss defense. Butler’s development of defensive lines during his tenure at Southern Miss helped further the long-time defensive tradition at the school.

Butler spent the 2004 season retooling the defensive line after losing two standouts. The Golden Eagles finished 7-5 overall and defeated North Texas in the New Orleans Bowl. That year, the defense finished second in Conference USA in scoring defense and third in total defense.

He coached another defensive line in 2003 that helped the Golden Eagles win the Conference USA championship and a third trip to the Liberty Bowl. The defense finished 14th in the nation in scoring defense, 13th in pass efficiency defense and 23rd in total defense that season in winning the confer-ence championship.

Butler graduated from Southern Miss in 1979 with his Bachelor’s Degree, and received his Master’s De-gree in 1981. He was inducted into the Southern Miss Athletics Hall of Fame prior to the 1999 spring game. Butler entered the Wiregrass Athletic Hall of Fame in July 2008.

Butler is married to the former Angela Smith, who is also a Southern Miss graduate. The couple has two children, Anna Leigh and Chelsea. The couple also has one granddaughter, Ellie.

Kenny Edenfield returned to his alma mater for the 2008 season and after two seasons as a receivers coach transitioned to offensive coordinator in 2010 a post he held at North Alabama from 2002-07.

Last season, Edenfield’s first as offensive coordinator, the Trojans averaged 453.5 yards per game in total offense. Not only did they put up impressive yardage numbers, but the Trojans scored an aver-age of 34.1 points per game; scoring 30 or more points 10 times - including four game of 40+ points. Freshman Corey Robinson was named Freshman of the Year as he averaged 286.6 yards passing per game in Edenfield’s offense.

Under Edenfield in 2009, Jerrel Jernigan became the fourth wide out in Troy history to record more than 1,000 yards in a season. The Troy offense as a whole continued to stand out as it finished first in the Sun Belt in scoring at 33.7 points per game and first in total offense, posting more than 485 yards per contest. Nationally the Troy offense finished its most productive season statistically. The unit ended the 2009 season ranked third in total offense, fourth in passing offense and 16th in scoring offense.

In his first season as an assistant coach at Troy, Edenfield was part of the staff that led the Trojans to a national ranking of 26 in total offense with 421.42 yards per game. He also led the Trojans rushing attack to a 36th-place national ranking, while the passing game came in at 32. The Trojans were the 23rd highest scoring team in the country in 2008, averaging 33.25 points per game. He also coached Jernigan, the school’s all-time single-season leader in receptions with 77 set in 2008.

He spent the six previous seasons as the offensive coordinator at North Alabama, where he helped direct one of the most productive offenses in NCAA Division II. The Lions broke scores of school records and ranked among the offensive leaders in both the Gulf South Conference and Division II an-nually. Edenfield helped lead UNA to two conference championships and four NCAA playoff berths in his six years at the school - including an overall 54-19 record. He was one of just two Lion assistants who had been on Mark Hudspeth’s staff every season since he arrived at UNA in 2002.

In 2007, UNA went 10-2 and reached the quarterfinals of the Division II playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years. With a number six national ranking in the final Division II poll, UNA also ranked in the final Top 10 poll for Division II for the fourth time since 2003. The Lions averaged 37.5 points and 408 yards per game that season. Both of UNA’s losses were to eventual Division II national champion Valdosta State on the road. North Alabama quarterback A.J. Milwee was a national finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy as the Division II Player of the Year.

In 2006, North Alabama went 11-1, won the Gulf South Conference championship and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs behind an offense that averaged 33.5 points per game and 379.2 yards per game. Four Lions earned All-GSC honors on offense, including Harlon Hill Trophy candidate Anthony Merritt. In 2005, Edenfield directed a UNA offense that paved the way to an 11-3 record. The Lions broke 28 offensive records and advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs. From that team, six Lions earned All-GSC honors on offense and three were named NCAA Divi-sion II All-Americans - including Harlon Hill Trophy finalist Merritt. UNA averaged 31.2 points per game and 411 yards per game in 2005. In 2003, Edenfield guided the Lions to a 13-1 record, a Gulf South Conference championship and a semifinal berth. Along the way, UNA broke 11 school team records and 20 individual records, while producing the Harlon Hill Trophy winner in quarterback Will Hall.

Edenfield is a native of Clinton, LA, where he was born December 8, 1965. He and his wife Pamela have a son K.D. and daughters Caitlin, Christina and Kiley.

The 2010 linebacker corps featured Xavier Lamb and Daniel Sheffield who led the Trojans in tackles. Lamb recorded 91 total tackles, with 45 of those coming solo; while Sheffield picked up 78, with 44 solo tackles. The duo combined for 13 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks, all while breaking up eight passes, recording an interception and recovering four fumbles.

Parker’s 2009 linebacker unit featured three players (Boris Lee – Chiefs, David McDowell – Rams and Bear Woods – Falcons) that attended NFL training camps in 2010. The three combined for 314 tackles and 39 tackles for loss.

In 2008, Parker was part of a defense that ranked in the top 35 in several categories, including pass defense (23rd), total defense (30th) and scoring defense (31st). They also ranked 17th in the nation in pass efficiency defense (104.03).

He also coached three All-Sun Belt Conference selections at linebacker during the 2008 season in Lee, Woods and Terence Moore. The trio combined for 310 total tackles and were three of the top four tacklers on the team. The trio also combined for 21.5 tackles for loss, seven sacks, eight inter-ceptions, nine pass break-ups and seven quarterback hurries. Both Lee and Woods return for the 2009 season, with Lee returning with a team-leading 126 total tackles and 73 solo tackles; while Woods returns with 108 total tackles and 69 solo tackles in just 10 games last season.

Prior to his stint at Troy, Parker served as the defensive coordinator at Northeast Mississippi Junior College for two seasons (2004 and 2005). At Northeast, Parker helped turn the Tigers into a national powerhouse. In his final season at Northeast Mississippi, the Tigers were ranked as high as number two in the nation and finished with a 7-2 overall record.

Parker is well-known in the Mississippi Junior College ranks and has proven to be beneficial in recruiting that area for the Trojans.

Prior to his two successful season at Northeast Mississippi, Parker spent five seasons as lineback-ers coach at Butler County Community College in El Dorado, Kansas. He coached four NJCAA All-Americans at Butler and helped the Grizzlies to the 2003 NJCAA National Championship.

Jeremy Rowell begins his 15th season on the Troy University football staff, and sixth as the defen-sive coordinator. He was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2005 after six seasons overseeing the defensive backs.

Last season, Rowell continued the tradition that has been in place for many years as the Trojans had two players honored for the defensive work by being selected by the coaches and media for the All-Sun Belt Conference team. The 2010 defense was a young squad as they had to replace several starters from a year ago who departed for the NFL and CFL; however, the team came together and helped lead the team to the 2010 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. They were able to hold oppo-nents to 14 points or less three different times.

In 2008, Rowell coached Sherrod Martin, a 2009 NFL Draft selection and All-Sun Belt Conference selection Terence Moore along with 2010 Arizona Cardinals draftee Jorrick Calvin. Three seasons ago, Rowell coached the 11th overall pick in the NFL Draft in Leodis McKelvin, along with the nation’s leader in interceptions, Elbert Mack, in the defensive backfield.

The defense in 2008 ranked in the top 35 in several categories, including pass defense (23rd), total defense (30th) and scoring defense (31st). They also ranked 17th in the nation in pass efficiency defense (104.03).

Under Rowell, the Trojans have flourished in the defensive backfield, becoming one of the main-stays of a stingy Troy defense. In 2004, the Trojans ranked sixth in the country in pass efficiency defense (100.56) and 16th in total defense (311.00 yards). Their 32 turnovers gained were tied for second in the country, while the turnover margin (+0.92) was tied for 10th. In 2003, despite return-ing just four starters, the defense ranked sixth nationally in turnovers gained (35), 26th in rushing defense (125.5 yards), 44th in pass efficiency defense (117.59) and 39th in total defense (349.67 yards).

Defensive back Derrick Ansley finished third in the nation in interceptions in 2003, behind Miami (FL) safety Sean Taylor and Nebraska’s Josh Bullocks. Ansley tallied nine interceptions, earning Col-lege Football News All-Independent honors, as well as an honorable mention selection on the ESPN.com All-Independent team. Rayshun Reed joined Ansley on both All-Independent teams, and earned an invitation to participate in the Blue-Gray All-Star Football Classic on Christmas Day.

The 2002 defense ranked fourth nationally in total defense. The Trojans allowed just 276.83 yards per game to opponents in 12 games, ranking behind only Texas Christian, Kansas State and Ala-bama. Troy was ranked 11th in pass defense, 13th in rushing defense and 30th in scoring defense.

A solid field general during his playing career, Rowell is considered one of the top quarterbacks in school history. He led Troy to a 19-3 regular season record as a starter in 1994 and 1995. With Rowell under center, the Trojans finished with the only perfect (11-0) regular season record in school history. Rowell accounted for 3,300 passing yards in his career with 22 touchdowns. He also scored 15 rush-ing touchdowns in a season (1994) and finished with 20 for his career. He also the scored 90 points during the 1994 season.

A graduate of Troy University, Rowell received his Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics & Science in 1997 and his Master’s Degree in Foundations of Education in 1999. He is married to former Jessica Owens, and the couple has two children, Jacob Owen and Jaxon Lane.

Coaching Staff - Assistant Coach

John Schlarman returns for his fifth season as an assistant coach on the Troy University football staff, which he joined prior to the 2007 season. He has served as offensive line coach since arriving at Troy and will be Run Game Coordinator this fall for the second consecutive season.

Schlarman has been a part of four straight Sun Belt Championship teams since his arrival at Troy. During his tenure with the Trojans the team has made three bowl appearances and has been one of the most exciting, dynamic and prolific offensive units in all of college football. In each of his sea-sons the Trojans have ranked in the top 30 in the nation in total offense, including a No. 3 national ranking in 2009.

Last season, Scharlman was named the Run Game Coordinator - a new addition to the Trojans’ staff. The team averaged 156.6 yards per game, which was highlighted by DuJuan Harris going over the 100-yard mark in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl on national television. The Trojans had a pair of runners go over 600 yards for the season, while a third was over 400 and a fourth over 300 for the season.

Schlarman has coached at least one first team All-Conference selection in each of his four seasons. Tyler Clark and Danny Franks earned the honor in 2009, Chris Jamison in 2008 and Dion Small in both 2007 and 2008.

Once again, last season, Schlarman coached an All-Conference selection as Clark earned his second nod in as many years; earning First Team honors in 2010.

A native of Fort Thomas, Ky., Schlarman was a four-year starter on the offensive line at the Univer-sity of Kentucky from 1994 until 1997. He was named to the Freshman All-SEC team in 1994 and was named the team’s most outstanding offensive lineman in 1995 and 1996. Following his junior season, he was chosen for the Unsung Hero All-America Team by the College Football Chronicle. As a senior in 1997, playing under Guy Morriss, he earned First Team All-SEC accolades.

Also an outstanding student, Schlarman was a three-year member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll, and was a finalist for Academic All-America in 1997 after earning a place on the GTE Academic All-District IV Team. He received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mathematics Education in 1998, and received a Master of Science in Kinesiology and Health Promotion in 2002 – both from the Univer-sity of Kentucky.

Following his playing career at Kentucky, Schlarman coached at Bourbon County (Ky.) High School, where he coached the defensive line in 1998 and 1999, helping guide the team to the state playoffs both seasons. He returned to the University of Kentucky as an offensive graduate assistant in 2000, where he worked the Wildcats’ offensive line for two years and spent his third year working with the tight ends and serving as the walk-on coordinator.

Schlarman came to Troy after having spent four seasons as the head coach at Campbell County and Newport High Schools in Kentucky. His two-year record of 19-6 at Newport included a district title and a regional runner-up finish. He was also named the District Coach of the Year for his work in 2005.

Schlarman is married to the former Lee Anne Federspiel of Lexington, Kentucky. The couple has three sons, Joseph Douglas (5), Benjamin James (2) and Matthew Thomas (four months).

Coaching Staff - Assistant Coach

Shayne Wasden enters his eighth season on the Troy University football staff, and in the collegiate ranks. He has served as receivers coach and special teams coordinator for the past six seasons, and was promoted to Assistant Head Coach in January 2008.

He also coordinates the Trojans’ highly successful walk-on program.

Wasden’s special teams have produced many outstanding players. Troy’s all-time leading punter, Thomas Olmsted, Troy’s all-time leader in field goals, Greg Whibbs, and Troy’s all-time leader in punt returns, Leodis McKelvin are among those who have excelled under Wasden.

Wasden has also coached two Sun Belt Conference honorable mention selections in placekicker Michael Taylor and punter Will Goggans. He also coached Jernigan, who was named First Team All-Purpose and Second Team Return Specialist by the league’s head coaches and media. Jerrel Jernigan was also one of only three players in the country to return both a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown during the 2011 season.

Wasden has achieved many personal goals while at Troy. One of his accomplishments is to have had at least one special team unit rank in the top 25 nationally every year. Since Wasden’s arrival at Troy, the Trojans have claimed five Sun Belt Conference titles, appeared in five bowl games and have emerged as one of the most productive and exciting offensive teams in college football.

Before joining the collegiate coaching ranks, Wasden served as a head coach for 11 seasons. His career started at Georgiana High School and included stops at Opp and Eufaula High Schools. In his 11 seasons as a high school head coach, Wasden’s teams posted a record of 91 wins and 34 losses and advanced to the postseason playoffs 10 times. In his final year at Eufaula, his team finished 11-1 and was ranked number one in the state in Class 5A to end the regular season.

When Wasden joined the Trojans coaching staff in 2004, he came as a familiar face to Trojans head coach Larry Blakeney who, as an assistant coach at Auburn University, coached Wasden. Wasden played wide receiver at Auburn from 1987-90, earning three letters while there and playing in three bowl games for the Tigers.

While at Auburn, Wasden earned his undergraduate degree in Secondary Education in 1990. He later earned his Master’s in Education Administration from Troy University in 1998.

Coaching comes naturally to the Wasden family. Shayne’s father, Bobby Wasden, coached high school football for more than 35 years. His brother Tommy, a former Trojan, also coaches at the high school level.

Wasden and his wife, the former Patrice Moseley, have two daughters, Mary Beth (17) and Anna Shay (13). All are looking forward to another great season of football with the Troy University Trojans.

FIRST SEASON AT TROY

After a year away from football, Steven Adams returns to the game as a graduate assistant coach for the Trojans. Adams played in 33 games for the Trojans at guard and center, lead-ing the Trojans to four Sun Belt Conference championships along the way. During his tenure at TROY, Adams averaged grading out at 84.5 percent; including 85.9 during his junior season. He allowed just five sacks from his opposition during those 33 games for the Trojans, while missing just five assignments in over 1,800 plays from scrimmage. Adams was a three-year starter for Freeport High School on, both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.

Chandler will work with the offense where he is familiar with the system, after serving as a quarterback and receiver for the Trojans from 2006 until last season. The former Trojan started his final season as a receiver, before being thrust into the role of back-up quarterback following the injury to Jamie Hampton in the Middle Tennessee contest. A native of Opelika, Ala., Chandler led his high school team to the state semifinals during his senior season and the quarterfinals as a sophomore. His junior season was cut short by a broken collarbone. However, he was an Honorable Mention All-State selection the year after the injury, as he passed for 1,293 yards and nine touchdowns. Chandler earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Social Science this past year from Troy University.

TROY 30

S4 • Veterans Memorial Stadium • Troy, Ala.

TROY, Ala. - With Bowling Green driving and the clock dwindling, the Trojans needed a break. They got one when sophomore defensive tackle Tony Davis picked off a deflected ball and Troy took over at their own 34-yard line with 1:07 left in the game.

Redshirt freshman Corey Robinson found Tebiarus Gill for 17 yards and a first down at the Bowling Green 46-yard line with 31 seconds remaining. Another completion to Brett Moncrief followed by a Robinson run for five yards, plus a personal foul penalty put the Trojans at the Falcons 14-yard line with 11 ticks on the clock.

Robinson took a knee to drop the clock to seven seconds and the Trojans set-up for the game-winning field goal opportunity. Following a timeout by both teams, place kicker Michael Taylor connected on a game-winning 34-yarder with four seconds left.

Oklahoma State 41

S11 • Boone Pickens Stadium • Stillwater, Okla.

STILLWATER, Okla. - After battling back from behind and absorbing every body blow Oklahoma State could dish out, the Trojans saw their chance at a marquee road victory slip away by turning the ball over deep in Cowboys territory in the second half of a 41-38 loss at Boone Pickens Stadium.

The Trojans fall to 1-1 on the season with the loss while Oklahoma State improved to 2-0. Despite piling up more than 200 all-purpose yards in the game, senior Jerrel Jernigan turned the ball over near the OSU goal line late in the third quarter, thwarting one Troy scoring chance. Freshman quarterback Corey Robinson had the second costly miscue when he was unable to handle a high snap on a third and five play at the OSU 10, giving the ball back to the Cowboys again without putting points on the board.

S18 • Legion Field • Birmingham, Ala.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - With just 69 seconds left on Saturday at Legion Field, UAB needed go 99 yards to score a winning touchdown against a staggering Troy defense.

The Blazers covered the final 44 of those yards on a “Hail Mary” pass as time expired, with Jackie Williams wrestling the ball away from a trio of Troy defenders just outside the goal line. He was rewarded for his efforts with a touchdown call, which was upheld by replay.

UAB (1-2) converted the PAT with no time on the clock to take a 34-33 victory from the stunned Trojans (1-2).

TROY 35

S25 • Veterans Memorial Stadium • Troy, Ala.

TROY, Ala. - After an extremely long and difficult Saturday of football, the Troy Trojans found themselves staring at a one-point deficit to Arkansas State with just 49 seconds left in the game and 67 yards of soggy turf to cover.

After playing four straight games decided in the final seconds, including consecutive last-second losses in the last two weeks, a lot of teams would have simply accepted their fate. The Trojans, however, did not do that.

Freshman Corey Robinson led the team on a five-play drive that used just 28 seconds off the clock to scoring the winning points in a 35-28 Trojans victory over the Red Wolves in the Sun Belt Conference opener for the four-time defending league champions.

TROY 42

MIDDLE TENNESSEE 13

O5 • Floyd Stadium • Murfreesboro, Tenn.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - The Drive for Five is alive and well and the Palladium Tro-phy is on its way back to Troy after the Trojans dismantled the favored and home-stand-ing MTSU Blue Raiders 42-13 in front of a national television audience Tuesday night.

With the decisive victory, the Trojans sent a message across the Sun Belt Conference that taking the league title away from the four-time defending champions is not going to be easy.

TROY 31

O16 • Veterans Memorial Stadium • Troy, Ala.

TROY, Ala. - Twice in the fourth quarter Saturday night it looked as if the Troy Trojans were going to see their 12-game Sun Belt Conference win streak slip away. But twice the Trojans responded against the visiting Ragin’ Cajuns of Louisiana-Lafayette to take a 31-24 victory to stay unbeaten in conference play and take another step toward a fifth consecutive league title. The Trojans improved to 4-2 on the year overall and 3-0 in Sun Belt play with the victory while dropping ULL to 2-4 overall and 2-2 in the conference.

In a game of big plays and momentum swings, turnovers and official reviews, it was the Trojans who seemed to get the breaks, especially with the game in the balance in the second half. Perhaps the biggest play of all game early in the fourth quarter with ULL holding a 21-17 lead and threatening to add more.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - The SEC’s Eastern Division Champions left no doubt to the Troy Trojans football team on how they earned that title. South Carolina defeated the Trojans 69-24 Saturday afternoon.

“I don’t know what happened,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “We couldn’t tackle them. We couldn’t hold on to the ball. We gave them a chance to beat us today with fumbles and interceptions and dropped snaps. We talked about trying to salvage something out of the second half, and I think we did salvage something out of it against a very good football team.”

TROY 28

N27 • Veterans Memorial Stadium • Troy, Ala.

TROY, Ala. - Thankfulness was the common theme for the Troy University football team on Saturday after the Trojans achieved bowl eligibility and kept hopes alive for a fifth straight Sun Belt Conference title with a 28-14 victory over Western Kentucky. The Trojans decided they would not be denied on senior day.

“We wanted to go out with a bang,” Jerrel Jernigan said. “It was a great game. I went out how I wanted to go out. Since the first day I stepped on campus, the Troy University family took me in. The coaches, the teachers, and I want to thank them for all they did for me.”

The “bang” didn’t come without hard work and worry from the Trojans and their coaches though.

TROY 48

D18 • Louisiana Superdome • New Orleans, La.

NEW ORLEANS, La. - The Trojans made it look easy in the Big Easy as they rolled to a 48-21 victory over the Ohio Bobcats in the10th Anniversary R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

The Trojans improved to 8-5 on the season while dropping the Bobcats to the same mark.

“We’re certainly proud to be sitting here as the victors over Ohio U,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “We prepared well, and I think our kids, after coming back from some pretty tough losses and closing with two wins and being the co-champs, helped motivate us.

National Championship Teams - 1968 NAIALed by a record-setting aerial attack and a defense that recorded four shutouts, the Red Wave claimed the 1969 NAIA National Cham-pionship with a 43-35 victory over Texas A&I at Cramton Bowl (Montgomery, Ala.).

Under the guidance of third-year head coach Bill Atkins, Troy opened the season with a 49-31 win over Samford. In that game, quarter-back Sim Byrd threw five touchdowns, hitting 23-of-33 passes for 443 yards. The Red Wave continued to roll, winning its first seven games. Byrd led Troy past Delta State, 35-23, connecting on 34-of-49 passes for 325 yards and three touchdowns; also rushing for two touchdowns. Her followed that performance with five touchdown passes, all to Danny Grant, in a 52-0 win over McNeese State.

Troy had risen to number three in the national poll before dropping a 12-3 decision to Tennessee-Martin. Byrd and Heard threw eight interceptions as the Red Wave could only muster a 34-yard field goal by Randy Hicks in the loss.

Troy bounced back the next week, and demolished Con-cordia (W.Va.), 76-0, on Homecoming at Movie Gallery Stadium, rising back to number four in the NAIA rankings and earning a berth in the playoffs. Byrd was at it again, throwing for six touchdowns and rushing for another, while Ronnie Shelley returned two punts for touchdowns.

The Red Wave advanced to the title game with a 63-10 vic-tory over Willamette (Ore.) in the semifinals. Byrd threw for six touchdowns, while his back-up Al Heard threw two. Shelley joined the scoring with a 66-yard interception.

In the national title game, Byrd connected on 25-of-44 passes and threw five touchdowns en route to Most Valu-able Back honors as the Red Wave cruised past Texas A&I. Cecil Barber scored two touchdowns, one on a 53-yard run and the other on a five-yard pass.

Bobby Enslen scored on a 54-yard pass, and Vince Green scored on a 15-yard reception. Doug Taylor was named Most Valuable Lineman after catching two touchdown passes from Byrd, one from five-yards out and the other from three.

Byrd and Shelley were named to the NAIA All-American First Team at the conclusion of the season after their outstanding year.

National Championship Teams - 1984 NCAA DIITed Clem’s 50-yard field goal with no time remaining handed Troy an 18-17 win over North Dakota State and the 1984 Division II national champion-ship in McAllen, Texas. With under 1:30 left in the game, Troy senior quarterback Carey Christensen, who had suffered a foot injury earlier in the season and split time with freshman Mike Turk,

led Troy on a last-ditch drive. Starting from the Trojans’ 10-yard line, Christensen led Troy to the Bison 32.

With the clock running, the kicking team was rushed onto the field. Clem’s foot met the ball as the horn sounded, and his attempt sailed through the uprights for the win. “The Kick,” as it is known in Trojan football lore, was the longest field goal in Division II playoff history at the time. Clem was not the only freshman walk-on to make an impact on the Trojans winning the national title. Turk, who walked on in the spring of 1984, moved rapidly up the depth chart and was thrust into the starting role in the third game of the season after Christensen went down with a broken foot.

Turk carried the load the rest of the season as the starter, going on to earn Gulf South Conference “Freshman of the Year” honors. Then coached by Chan Gailey, the Trojans opened the season with a 26-7 win over Nicholls State. The defense held the Colonels to just 83 yards on the ground, with Rufus Cox delivering the striking blow on a 51-yard touchdown catch from Christensen.

Troy rolled through Florida A&M the next week, 17-3, and followed that up with a 35-26 win over Livingston. Holding on to a slim 28-26 lead, and with Livingston driving, Mike Brewster returned an inter-ception 44 yards for a touchdown to seal the win, which was marred by the loss of Christensen early in the game with a broken foot. Turk came on in relief, going 8-of-13 passing for 166 yards and a touch-down.

The Trojan offense racked up 468 yards, 382 on the ground, in a 41-10 win over West Georgia. The ground attack continued its pounding the next week, racking up 331 yards, 92 by Turk, in a 27-12 win over Valdosta State.

Trailing No. 10 Mississippi College 7-0 in the fourth quarter, the Trojans scored twice in the final six minutes to pull out a 14-7 win. Turk began the rally with a quarterback sneak from the 1-yard line. On the ensuing kickoff, Brewster forced a fumble, which Troy recovered at the Choctaw 20. One play later, Turk found Rufus Cox with a TD pass to preserve the Trojans’ victory. The offense was back in order against Delta State, rack-ing up 459 yards in a 35-20 win over the Statesmen.

The Trojans then faced another setback, dropping a 13-10 decision to UNA. Troy had two chances late in the game, but an interception coupled with Clem missing a 39-yard field goal with nine seconds left, sealed Troy’s fate.

Troy bounced back to win its last two games and the Gulf South Conference title. The Trojans routed UT-Martin, 31-7, on Homecoming and wrapped up the regular season with a 42-39 victory over archrival Jacksonville State.

With the GSC title, the Trojans advanced to the Division II playoffs and hosted Central State (Ohio) in the quarterfinals. The wishbone offense flexed its muscles, running up 579 yards of offense, as Troy pulled out a 31-21 win. The semifinals were a repeat of the quarterfinals as the offense ruled the day. Troy pounded out 537 yards and demolished Towson State, 45-3, to advance to the title game.

National Championship Teams - 1987 NCAA DIILed by offense that averaged 430.4 yards per game, the Troy football team won its last 12 games to claim the 1987 Division II national title.

The Trojans got off to 0-1-1 start, dropping an 18-17 decision on the road at Southeast Missouri in the opener. Ted Clem missed a 42-yard field goal in the final minute which would have given the Trojans the lead. Troy followed its tough opener with a 17-17 tie with Nicholls State. On a rain-soaked field, Clem missed another clutch kick, this time a 40-yarder with a 1:39 left. Troy's offense showed its strength in the home opener against West Texas with a 45-0 rout. Mike Turk led the offense with 50 yards on six carries as the offense racked up 356 yards.

The Trojans picked up some confidence in pulling out a 24-17 win over Livingston on the road. The Troy offense picked up 349 yards of total offense, highlighted by Titus Dixon's 63-yard touchdown reception from Turk in the second quarter. The offense continued to roll for Troy the next week, racking up a school-record 621 yards in a 44-6 win over West Georgia. Backup quarterback Bob Godsey came on in relief of Turk and led the Troy offensive attack with 88 yards on six carries, including a 66-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

The Trojans put up more than 40 points their next two games to extend their winning streak to five. Troy went on the road and demolished nationally ranked and previously undefeated Valdosta State, 44-7 and followed that with a 48-21 victory over Mississippi College, as Thomas Miller and Al Harris both ran back interceptions for touchdowns. The Trojans scored 30 or more in the next three games to capture eight in a row. Tony Jackson rushed for 123 yards on 20 carries as Troy defeated Delta State, 38-6.

rushing for two touchdowns and passing for another, leading the Troy rushing attack with 78 yards on 13 carries.

TROY TROJANS MAKE FIRST BOWL APPEARANCE OF DIVISION I ERASAN JOSE, Calif. - The Trojans started their first appearance in a bowl game with bang, jumping to a 14-0 first quarter lead over Northern Illinois in the Fifth Annual Silicon Valley Football Classic, but the Huskies proved to be better in the mud, battling back to down the Trojans 34-21.

The Trojans wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, taking the open-ing drive 78 yards in nine plays to take a 7-0 lead. Freshman quarterback D.T. McDowell found a diving Jason Samples on a 45-yard completion to the Huskies’ one-yard line, setting up a keeper over senior left guard Junior Louissaint for the score.

After the Huskies went three and out on their first possession, the Trojans put another drive together. This time it was a 73-yard possession that spanned eight plays and culminated with a 23-yard screen pass to senior Jermaine Richardson from McDowell with 6:05 to play in the opening quarter.

McDowell scored his second touchdown on the night on a four-yard run with 10:50 remaining in the game to snap a string of 34 unanswered NIU points. The Northern Illinois run of points began when Garrett Wolfe scored a 50-touchdown scamper in the first quarter to trim the lead to 14-7.

Trojans senior DeWhitt Betterson was named the game’s offensive MVP after rushing for 150 yards on 25 carries. He also had an apparent 85-yard third quarter touchdown run called back after a fan on the Northern Illinois sideline blew a whistle.

Trojans Claim 1st Bowl VictoryNEW ORLEANS, La. - The talk around Troy practice all week leading up to the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl was about being the first team in school history to win a bowl game.

The Trojans made sure their first trip to represent the Sun Belt Conference in New Orleans was a memorable one by jumping on the Rice Owls with 21 first quarter points and never looking back in a 41-17 victory in front of 24,791 fans at the Louisiana Superdome.

Junior quarterback Omar Haugabook showed why he was named Sun Belt Player of the Year by running and passing for five touchdowns in earning game Most Valuable Player honors in unanimous fashion.

NEW ORLEANS, La. - Sam Glusman’s attempt at a game-tying field goal was blocked in the first overtime by Southern Miss defensive back Michael Mc-Gee giving USM the 30-27 victory in the 2008 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl at the Superdome.

Britt Barefoot tied the game with a 46-yard field goal with 2:57 remaining and Troy could not muster a score on its final drive sending the game to overtime.

Southern Miss (7-6) lost the toss and went on offense first and after be-ing stopped on third down, settled for a 39-yard field goal and gave the Trojans the ball.

Troy (8-5) picked up a first down on their possession on a swing-pass to Jerrel Jernigan. Faced with a third-down just three plays later, the conver-sion failed.

MOBILE, Ala. - For the second time in as many seasons, the Troy Universi-ty Trojans got their post-season hearts broken in the flash of an overtime blocked field goal. This time, in the 2010 GMAC Bowl, it was sophomore Michael Taylor’s attempt from 31 yards in the second overtime that was blocked by Central Michigan’s Vince Agnew, opening the door for the Chip-pewas’ game-winning 37-yard field goal in a 44-41 victory over Troy.

“I hate [it] for the kids, it hurts them,” Trojans coach Larry Blakeney said. “I’m an old guy, I can handle it more readily. When your older and more mature your able to handle winning and losing a little better.

“I’m proud of the Troy fans. They showed up and did their part. They’ll be like me, scratching around trying to get back to the GMAC bowl next year. I want to commend everyone from the leadership to the volunteers who took real good care of us.”

With the loss, the Trojans finish with a 9-4 record on the year. Troy also falls to 1-3 in bowl games, with consecutive overtime losses. Central Mich-igan finished its season with a 12-2 record and snapped the Mid-American Conference’s streak of 14 consecutive bowl losses. Taylor connected on a GMAC Bowl record 46-yard field goal at the end of regulation to send the game into overtime after CMU took the lead with just 1:17 to play when Dan LeFevour connected with Bryan Anderson for a 4-yard TD pass. It was the only TD pass of the game for the NCAA’s all-time touchdown leader.

“I was just thankful that Levi and the offense drove down to give me the opportunity,” Taylor said of his game-tying kick.

NEW ORLEANS, La. - The Trojans made it look easy in the Big Easy as they rolled to a 48-21 victory over the Ohio Bobcats in the10th Anniversary R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

The Trojans improved to 8-5 on the season while dropping the Bobcats to the same mark.

“We’re certainly proud to be sitting here as the victors over Ohio U,” Troy head coach Larry Blakeney said. “We prepared well, and I think our kids, after coming back from some pretty tough losses and closing with two wins and being the co-champs, helped motivate us. We haven’t won here since we beat Rice. I felt a lot of energy. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just about being in New Orleans.”

That “energy” resonated the most through the Trojans freshman quarter-back who put on a show for ESPN’s national audience.

Bowl MVP Corey Robinson threw for a New Orleans Bowl record 387 yards

and four touchdowns as the Trojans’ offense racked up 607 total yards on the night.

Jerrel Jernigan added to his NFL resume tape as well in his final game as a Trojan. Jernigan caught seven passes on the night for 48 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed three times for 16 yards and a score, all after being down with the flu.

With the Bobcats’ defense focused on double-teaming Jernigan, another star emerged for the Trojans.

Senior TeBiarus Gill had three touchdowns on just four receptions, piling up 80 receiving yards in the game for Troy.

DuJuan Harris also hit his stride in the bowl win, leading all Trojans on the ground with 105 yards rushing, including a touchdown. A 50-yard rush in the third quarter helped him hit triple figures on the night, and two plays later he earned his score.

Trojans NCAA Division I-A All-Americans

Troy University senior Leodis McKelvin was named to the Rival.com 2007 All-America team in 2007. McKelvin is the first Trojan to be named first team All-America since Troy’s move to Division I-A (now Bowl Championship Division) in 2001.

McKelvin earned his second All-America honor when he was named first team All-America by The Sporting News. McKelvin was also named first team All-America by Pro Football Weekly as a cornerback.

McKelvin, a native of Waycross, Ga., was selected as the punt returner on the 27-man squad. He was one of just two players from outside the six BCS conferences to be named, joining Utah punter Louis Sakoda.

McKelvin is the only player in the nation to return three punts for touchdowns this sea-son. He ranks third in the nation with an average of 18.3 yards per return; that includes a 74-yard touchdown against Oklahoma State, an 84-yard score against Florida Interna-tional and a 52-yard touchdown against North Texas.

He also led the Trojans in all-purpose yardage with 1,192 despite not having taken an offensive snap all season. He had 436 yards on 25 punt returns and 765 more yards on 33 kickoffs, recording an impressive 23.2 kickoff return aver-age.

The 5-11, 190-pound native of Waycross, Ga., also finished his Trojan career with seven career kick returns for touchdowns, one shy of the all-time NCAA record.

An outstanding cover corner, as well, McKelvin recorded 60 total tackles during the season, 52 solo, added two interceptions, 11 pass break-ups and three forced fumbles and excelled against top competition in the Trojans’ biggest games such as Oklahoma State, Georgia, Arkansas and Florida. McKelvin was also one of seven Trojans named to the Rivals.com All-Sun Belt team for 2007. He was joined on the team by quarterback Omar Hauga-book, offensive lineman Dion Small, defensive tackle Chris Bradwell, linebacker Boris Lee, defensive back Elbert Mack and kicker Greg Whibbs.

The Troy Trojans name has become synonomous with the National Football League Draft over the last few years, but it didn’t start just recently. The first player drafted from the ranks of the Troy University football program was back 1969 when the Miami Dolphins took a chance on tight end Glenn Thompson. Since that year, there have been 31 players drafted into the ranks of the NFL, including six that have been drafted since joining the Sun Belt Conference. The Trojans still own the highest draft pick of any Sun Belt Conference member school when Demarcus Ware was selected 11th overall in 2004 by Dallas, only to be matched by Leodis McKelvin in 2008 when he was selected by the Buffalo Bills. The Trojans have also had numerous players sign free agent contracts with NFL teams throughout their history.

Timeline of Troy University Football2000s 2000 - The Trojans played their final season in I-AA and the Southland Football League. As a going-away present, the Trojans breezed through the league with a 7-0 record, win-ning their third title in five years, and advanced to the I-AA playoffs for the seventh time in eight seasons. The Trojans finished the season ranked ninth in the Sports Network poll and third in the Teamlink/CFAA and ESPN/USA Today polls after being ranked num-ber one in all three polls for three consecutive weeks earlier in the season.2001 - Troy finished 7-4 in its first year as a Division I-A member, upsetting SEC rival Mississippi State University on October 13 and defeating Sun Belt Conference champion North Texas, 18-16, to conclude the regular season. The Trojans were the only team in the nation to face the two teams that played for the national championship, No. 1 Miami and No. 2 Nebraska. In December, the Board of Trustees approved an expansion of Movie Gallery Stadium to be completed by Fall 2003.2002 - In June, Troy crossed the last hurdle to full Division I-A membership, submit-ting schedules with a minimum of six Division I-A schools for five seasons. In July, construction began on expansion of Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium, increasing capacity to 30,000. Troy finished 4-8 in its first season as a full member of NCAA Division I-A, playing eight games away from home. The remodeling of Movie Gallery Veterans Sta-dium began in November, and the final home game of the season against Utah State was played amid construction. Defensive end Osi Umenyiora finished second in the nation in sacks with 16, while the Troy defense ranked fourth nationally in total defense.2003 - In May, Troy joined in a partnership with Movie Gallery to rename the football stadium to Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium. A month later, the Trojans received an invita-tion to join the Sun Belt Conference in football in 2004 and all sports in the 2005-06 school year. The Trojans opened their new, 30,000-seat home on September 20 with a 28-0 win over Southeastern Louisiana and followed the next week with a 33-24 victory over Marshall that prompted the Trojan students to tear down the goal posts. Troy finished the season ranked third nationally in interceptions. DeWhitt Betterson tallied a school-record 1,161 yards rushing on 244 carries.2004 - Troy opens its first season as a member of the Sun Belt Conference with a road victory at Marshall and a nationally-televised win over nationally-ranked Missouri on ESPN2. Following the two wins, Troy dropped four of its next five games by a combined 22 points, including a four-point loss at defending national champion LSU. The Trojans went on a run from there, winning their final four games of the season to finish 7-4. The team was rewarded with the first bowl invitation in school history. On December 30, the Trojans played Northern Illinois in the fifth annual Silicon Valley Football Classic in San Jose. Senior Demarcus Ware was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and in April, was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, with the 11th overall pick (Dallas Cowboys).2005 - The Trojans’ second season in the Sun Belt did not prove to be as successful as the first. The highligh of the season was a 13-10 victory over North Texas in Denton, snapping a 22-game conference Mean Green win streak in front a national television audience. That

victory, however, was overshadowed by a pair of home losses and a 4-7 record.2006 - The Trojans debuted a new offensive philosophy that moved away from the tradi-tional power ground game the program was known for. Troy led the Sun Belt Conference in passing en route to their first league title. Near misses against Florida State and Georgia Tech early in the season, along with tough losses at UAB and Nebraska, left the Trojans at 1-4 heading into conference play. The team rebounded with four straight wins before a home loss to Arkansas State put the Trojans’ backs against the wall. That wall fell when Troy won in the “Miracle at Murfreesboro”, defeating Middle Tennessee State after scoring two touchdowns with just 2:14 to play in the game. A win over FIU the next week clinched Troy’s league title and a berth in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl where the Trojans steamed Rice 41-17 to complete an 8-5 season. Junior quarterback Omar Haugabook earned Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year honors, Newcomer of the Year and the Of-fensive Player of the Year honors before throwing for four touchdowns in the New Orleans Bowl and running for another one en route to winning MVP honors.2007 - The Trojans faced two finalists for the Heisman Trophy, including facing the even-tual Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. Troy faced four SEC opponents during the season, including the defending national champion in Florida. The Trojans defeated Oklahoma State in front of a nationally-televised audience at Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium, 43-22, and never trailed in the contest. The Trojans were undefeated in conference play headed into the final game season, unfortunately losing to FAU and settling for a share of the Sun Belt Conference championship. Cornerback Leodis McKelvin tied a Sun Belt Confer-ence record when he was drafted with the 11th overall pick in the NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. He was also named to three All-American Teams in his senior season.2008 - The Trojans faced the two teams that played in the BCS National Championship Game from the year before in LSU and Ohio State. The Trojans faced an opponent from the Big 10, Big 12 and SEC in their non-conference games. Troy won their third consecutive Sun Belt Conference Championship by dropping just one conference game throughout the season. The Trojans were rewarded for their efforts with a bid to the New Orleans Bowl and 13 selections to All-Sun Belt Conference Team at the conclusion of the season.2009 - The Trojans finished off their first undefeated season in Sun Belt Conference his-tory, running away for their fourth consecutive Sun Belt Conference championship and a berth in the GMAC Bowl. Their were several records broken during the season, with senior quarterback Levi Brown setting new marks for passing yards in a single season and pass-ing yards in a single game (twice). He also rewrote the Sun Belt Conference history books, becoming the first quarterback to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a single season.2010 - The Trojans claimed their first consecutive Sun Belt Conference championship, sharing the title with Florida International for the first time. The Trojan set several re-cords during the season, including several career records set by Jerrel Jernigan at both the university and in the Sun Belt Conference. The Trojans played in their third New Orleans Bowl since joining the Sun Belt Conference, and captured their second bowl championship in New Orleans as they defeated Ohio University 48-21 in a front of a national television audience on ESPN.

Troy University Football GlossaryALABAMA COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE Formed in 1960, the ACC as it was known, was created by four in-state rivals; Troy, Jack-sonville State, Florence State (now North Alabama) and Livingston (now West Alabama). The Trojans dominated the last three years of the conference, claiming the league title in 1967, 1968 and 1969. Its predecessor, the Alabama Intercollegiate Conference, was formed in 1938 by the same in-state schools, along with Marion Military and St. Bernard. It was the first conferene that the Trojans joined, and they would claim the league title for the first time in 1939. They also won back-to-back titles in 1941 and 1942.

BILLY ATKINS Took over as head coach at Troy after William Clipson’s 1-8 season in 1965, and imme-diately revived the program. He brought the Trojans to national prominence, and during his six years his record was 44-16-2 including the 168 NAIA National Championship. He coached several of the all-time greats in Troy history including Sim Byrd, Ronnie Shelley and Vince Green. Atkins is second on the school’s all-time win list behind current head coach Larry Blakeney.

BATTLE FOR THE OL’ SCHOOL BELL At every level of college football, there are great rivalries. For Troy, it is bitter rival Jacksonville State University. The two teams began playing each other in 1924, with the Gamecocks holding a 33-28-2 edge in the all-time series. However, the Trojans have won seven straight and 12-of-15 in the series. Both schools began as teacher colleges in the late 1800s, and, when the teams first played, they created a trophy that the winner would have until the teams met again the following year. School officials determined that it was fitting for two teachers colleges to play for a school bell. The Ol’ School Bell, as it is called, has been in Troy for the past 10 years and will remain in Troy in the near future since the teams are not scheduled to play against each other.

BOWL GAMES The Trojans have played in four bowl games in their history - the 1948 Paper Bowl, in Pensacola, Fla., the 2004 Silicon Valley Football Classic, in San Jose, Calif. and the 2006 and 2008 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.

The Trojans faced archrival Jacksonville State in the Paper Bowl, losing 19-0 at Pensacola High School’s new stadium, which had just one set of bleachers, according to records. The game was played on Dec. 18 and sponsored by Southern paper mills as a tribute to the nearly 100,000 workers in the industry at that time. An excerpt from the game program reads “the paper-making industry at Cantonment means much to Pensacola and this area of the state in payrolls and business generally ... December 18 was picked because stu-dents were at home for the holidays at this time, and many fans who would like to take in other bowl games later in the month, and on Jan. 1, will be able to do so at this time.”

However, 2004 marked the first time the Trojans were eligible for an automatic bowl bid since moving to Division I-A. Troy’s new home, the Sun Belt Conference, sends its champion to the New Orleans Bowl each season in December. Even though Troy did not earn the automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl, the Trojans did earn an invitation to the Silicon Valley Football Classic in San Jose, Calif.

On a rainy night in California, the Trojans made their Division I-A bowl debut against Northern Illinois from the Mid-American Conference. After jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, the Trojans turned as cold as the weather and dropped a 34-21 decision to the Huskies.

The Trojans earned their first bowl victory in 2005, downing Rice 41-17 in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Troy earned its way into the bowl by posting a 6-1 record in Sun Belt Conference play to capture their first SBC title.

Since that bowl game, the Trojans have played in two other bowl games, the 2008 New Orleans Bowl and the 2010 GMAC Bowl as conference champions.

LEVI BROWN Levi Brown rewrote the history books in his final season of 2008. He holds school re-cords for completions in a single game, attempts in a single game and passing yards in a single game (breaking his own record). He also holds the school record for passing yards

in a single season, which is the best in the Sun Belt history books at over 4,000 yards. He finished his career as the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year, and was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the seventh round.

BUCK BUCHANAN AWARD Following the 1999 season, two-time All-America defensive tackle Al Lucas claimed the award, given annually to the top defensive player in Division I-AA. Lucas tragically died as the result of an on-field injury suffered in an Arena Football League game on April 10, 2005.

SIM BYRD One of the greatest players ever to play at Troy, Byrd owns many of the school’s all-time passing records. During his three seasons at quarterback, he guided the Trojans to a 24-8 record and the school’s first national championship, the NAIA title in 1968. Named first-team All-America and All-ACC his senior year in 1968, he set the single-season record for passing yards with 3,569 in 1968 while also setting school records for comple-tions (260), attempts (414).

TED CLEM Clem set the standard for all Troy kickers. He was the key participant in one of the most historic plays in school history - “The Kick” as it has been dubbed by Troy faithful. His 50-yard field goal as time expired gave Troy an 18-17 win over North Dakota State in 1984 and its first NCAA Division II national championship. Clem set the single-game record for points in a game with 14, and owns the career record book. Clem kicked 48 field goals in his four years in Troy, from 1984-87. He still holds the school record for attempts with 78 and consecutive PATs made (166).

NICK COLBERT Nick Colbert was named as a 2000 College Football Scholar-Athlete by the National Foot-ball Foundation and College Hall of Fame. He was one of 16 award recipients named in 2000 for the award, which represents college football’s finest student-athletes from all divisions. Colbert graduated from Troy in May 2001 with his degree in Biology. He finished his degree boasting a grade point average better than 3.7. He was an annual member on the school’s Provost’s and Chancellor’s lists for academic excellence. Since 1959, when the first class was selected, 586 scholar-athletes have been awarded the honor based on supe-rior academic performance, outstanding football ability, strong leadership and citizenship. Each scholar-athlete is awarded an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship and honored at the Foundation’s Annual Awards Dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. Other notable athletes to earn the award along with Colbert were Purdue’s Drew Brees, Florida State’s Chris Weinke and a fellow Southland Football League athlete, McNeese State’s Wes Hines.

COMING-OUT PARTY Troy made its Division I-A debut on Sept. 1, 2001, when the Trojans traveled to face fourth-ranked Nebraska. The Trojans showed they could play at the I-A level, taking an early 7-0 lead on a 9-yard touchdown run by Demontray Carter. Brock Nutter capped an improbable half, throwing a 31-yard touchdown pass to Heyward Skipper to cut the Cornhuskers’ lead to 28-14 at the intermission. The Trojans fought valiantly in the second half, keeping Nebraska out of the end zone on two drives inside the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter. Jimmy McClain stopped Eric Crouch on the 1-yard line, and the entire defense stopped Thunder Collins from leaping into the endzone.

CHAN GAILEY Gailey led the Trojans to the 1984 Division II national championship. In his two seasons at Troy, Gailey led the Trojans to a 19-5 record. After taking over the program in 1983, he guided the Trojans to a five-game improvement, going 7-4 his fist year. His final year, he led the Trojans to the national title.

FIRST NIGHT GAME In 1928, the Troy football team played its first night game in Montgomery at Cramton Bowl. Troy faced off against Maxwell Field, claiming a 13-0 victory.

Troy University Football GlossaryGULF SOUTH CONFERENCE Members from Troy, Delta State, Florence State (now North Alabama), Livingston (now West Alabama), Tennessee-Martin and Jacksonville State all met in Birmingham during the summer of 1970 to form the Mid-South Conference. Scheduling conflicts in the first year allowed competition only in football. Southeastern Louisiana and Nicholls State joined the conference later, giving the conference eight members and the league changed its name to the Gulf South Conference. On June 4, 1990, Troy officially withdrew from the GSC. Dur-ing its 20 years in the GSC, Troy claimed six conference titles. The Trojans hold a 129-75-5 all-time record in GSC play.

JERREL JERNIGAN Jernigan ended his career as one of the most prolific players in Troy University history as he rewrote the record book. Jernigan made his mark in career receptions, receiving yards, yards per game, all-purpose yards and total offense. Jernigan also rewrote the Sun Belt Conference record book over his four years of competition. The senior was selected to participate in the Senior Bowl and Combine, before being drafted in the third round by the New York Giants in the 2011 NFL Draft.

“THE KICK” “The Kick,” as it is called, is used to describe Ted Clem’s 50-yard field goal as time expired that gave Troy an 18-17 win over North Dakota in the 1984 Division II national title game. The kick was Clem’s third field goal of the game and finished off one of the greatest come-backs in school history after the Trojans fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter.

“THE KICK” - PART TWO Drew Boteler’s 22-yard field goal attempt slipped through the uprights, capping a 14-point comeback, as Troy rallied to knock off North Texas, 18-16, in the school’s first home game against a Division I-A school on Dec. 1, 2001. Boteler’s game-winner was not a picture-perfect kick. The field was soaked from rain that had fallen throughout the day, and the redshirt freshman slipped while planting to make the kick. On top of that, the kick was tipped at the line of scrimmage, leading one North Texas lineman to celebrate as the of-ficials signaled the kick was good.

LEODIS MCKELVIN Leodis McKelvin became the second Trojan to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft when he was selected as the 11th overall pick by the Buffalo Bills. He is also the first Trojan to be named an All-American in football since the Trojans joined the ranks of NCAA Division I.

VIRGIL MCKINLEY Virgil McKinley, a professor at the Troy Normal School, was charged with the task of field-ing the first school football team. McKinley, who attended the University of Alabama but never received a football letter, had 14 players try out for the team but kept just 11. He guided the squad to a 1-0-2 record that first season against a variety of community, high school and other university teams.

MIRACLE IN MURFREESBORO Senior receiver Smokey Hampton turned in the performance of a lifetime with catch-after-catch, leading the Trojans to a victory at Middle Tennessee after trailing 20-7 with just 2:19 remaining in the contest. The senior combined with Gary Banks to catch touchdown passes in a 21-20 Troy victory.

BROCK NUTTER A four-year starter for the Trojans, Brock Nutter never missed a start, starting all 44 regular-season games and four I-AA playoff games, setting a new school record. He was selected as team captain his last three seasons and held a 35-13 record as a starter. Nut-ter rewrote the passing record book, completing 581 passes, surpassing Sim Byrd’s record of 575. He also attempted 1037 passes, shattering the former record held by Byrd of 924. Nutter threw for a school-record 7,791 yards and also broke the school record for total offense, with 7,494 yards.

OVERTIME GAMES Troy has played five overtime games in its history, standing 1-4 in those contests. The latest occurred last season at the GMAC Bowl against Central Michigan in which the two teams battled into two overtime periods with Central Michigan winning 44-41. Prior to the that game, the latest occurred in 2008 at the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl against Southern Miss in which the Golden Eagles prevailed over Troy 30-27. Prior to that, the Trojans last overtime game came in 2005, as the Trojans fell 31-28 at UL-Lafayette on October 29. The other games were a 13-10 win over former Southland Football League rival Sam Houston State on October 11, 1997 and a 19-16 home loss to Utah State on November 16, 2002.

PRO BOWL The 2007 NFL Pro Bowl featured two former Troy Trojans in the starting lineup for the National Football Conference (NFC) in Osi Umeniyora and Demarcus Ware. It marked the first time that two Trojans were starting in the prestigious postseason game for the National Football League.

STATISTICAL CHAMPIONS Since Troy joined the NCAA in the 1970s, the Trojans have had two statistical champions in an individual category. Quarterback Willie Tullis led the nation in passing efficiency during the 1980 season among Division II teams. Tullis had a passing efficiency rating of 147.5 after completing 108 of 203 passes (.532 percentage). He connected for 15 touchdowns and threw just eight interceptions. Tullis threw for 1,880 yards in 10 games that season. Andy Swafford captured the other statistical title in 1997 at the Division I-AA level, when he led the nation in kickoff returns, averaging 31.4 yards on 14 kick returns. He tallied 440 yards in returns during the 1997 campaign.

SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE In the summer of 1995, Troy, along with Jacksonville State, McNeese State, Nicholls State, Northwestern State, Sam Houston State, Southwest Texas and Stephen F. Austin, met in New Orleans to reform the Southland Conference into a football only sub-conference, the Southland Football League. During their five seasons in the SFL, the Trojans claimed three titles, in 1996, 1999 and 2000. The Trojans posted a 26-9 record in conference play during their five seasons and saw 54 players earned all-conference honors, while two players earned Defensive Player of the Year (Pratt Lyons, 1996; Anthony Rabb, 1999) honors and another Newcomer of the Year (Demontray Carter, 2000). Head coach Larry Blakeney twice earned Coach of the Year honors (1999 and 2000).

SUPER BOWL Three former Troy University Trojans have played in the Super Bowl in the modern era, with all three claiming Super Bowl rings in the process. Former offensive lineman Kerry Jenkins won the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Bucs, while most recently former defen-sive end Osi Umenyiora and place kicker Lawrence Tynes won with the New York Giants - defeating previously unbeaten New England in the process.

SUN BELT CONFERENCE On May 23, 2003, Troy University accepted an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference in all sports, marking the first time all of Troy’s sports will be in the same league since the school moved to Division I in 1993. The Troy football program began play in its first Division I-A conference home in the fall of 2004, while all other sports began competition in the league beginning in the fall of 2005.

THE NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT IN TROY On Sept. 3, 1988, Troy opened its defense of the 1987 Division II national championship at home against Southeast Missouri. Clinging to a 13-6 lead midway through the third quarter of a tight game, a transformer that controlled power to the lights at then Memo-rial Stadium malfunctioned, cutting the stadium lights. During the ensuing two-and-a-half hour delay, the teams discussed their options. After deciding against moving the game to Montgomery’s Cramton Bowl, the teams elected to finish the game on Troy’s lower practice field, which was lighted.

With the entire grassy bank next to the practice field almost full, the Trojans finished off

Troy University Football Glossarythe game with a 26-13 win.

TRACKING THE TROY FOOTBALL FIELD The Troy football team’s home field has changed locations numerous times through the years. The inaugural team played off campus in a field on Orion Street. In 1910, The As-sociation built an athletic field on the north side of the old college campus. The field was built by V.P. McKinley, the players and a handful of students. It had a grandstand, bleach-ers and a six-foot fence that surrounded the field. In 1925, the team began playing games on campus, on the site of what is now Shackleford Hall. Over the next 25 years, the Troy football team played its home games on the grounds where Smith Hall now stands and in a field that is now the outfield of Riddle-Pace Field. In 1950, Memorial Stadium opened for the first time. It began with a seating capacity of 5,000 but has grown to more than 30,000 today and is known as Veterans Memorial Stadium.

T-ROY T-Roy, the Troy mascot and a fan favorite, has been a familiar sight at Troy athletic events since making his first appearance in the mid 1980s. T-Roy became the official school mas-cot after a campus-wide decision on the name for a new mascot. There was an election by the student body with “T-Roy” coming out on top. In the spring of 2008, T-Roy was voted the third best mascot in the nation.

TROJANS - THE NICKNAME The Troy athletic teams have had a variety of names through the years - from Bulldogs to Teachers to Red Wave. As the football team began competition in the 1910s, the team was called Bulldogs or Teachers (since the school began as a teacher’s college). In 1922, the group was called Trojans for the first time. That lasted until Albert Elmore’s arrival on campus in 1931. A graduate of the University of Alabama, Elmore changed the nickname to Red Wave, a variation of Crimson Tide. The Red Wave moniker stuck until 1973, when the student body was again charged with voting for its new team nickname. The first game of the season in 1973 was on the road against Northeast Louisiana (now Louisiana-Monroe). The squad departed Troy without a nickname, but students voted on the nickname that Saturday morning. The winner? Trojans. The current nickname won the election by a two-to-one margin, with the ballots being tallied hours before kickoff. With the new nickname, the Trojans battled Northeast Louisiana to a 15-15 tie.

TROJANS IN THE POLLS During their eight years at the I-AA level, the Trojans were a mainstay in the I-AA polls. Troy finished ranked in the Top 25 every year but one (1997). Troy finished at the top of the polls in 1993, and was ranked number one for three straight weeks in 2000. Overall, the Trojans finished in the top five, four times and the top ten, five times.

TROY UNIVERSITY Troy hasn’t always been University. When the school was founded in 1887, the school was called the State Normal School - Troy. In 1929 the school changed its name to the Troy State Teachers College. That would last until 1957, when the school was renamed Troy College. The school was then named Troy State University in 1967 . In 2004, the Board of Trustees voted to remove the “State” from the name, making it Troy University. Trustees felt the name change allows the university system to reflect its quality, funding sources and global mission better. VOICES OF THE TROJANS For over 25 years, Troy has had four play-by-play announcers, including current announcer Barry McKnight. For the majority of those years, Ralph Black was the “Voice of the Tro-jans.” Black called more than 200 of Troy’s football games, including both Division II national championships. Black served as the play-by-play announcer for all Troy sports, having broadcast two Division II national championships in baseball and the Division II championship game in basketball (1992).

DEMARCUS WARE Demarcus Ware became the first-ever first round draft pick for the Troy Trojans, when he was selected in the 2006 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. Ware was the 11th overall pick of the draft.
