THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE Entering its 64th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh fulltime Commissioner in league history. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three orig-

inal institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. A first in the OVC occurred in 2008, when the league had a first round draft pick in both the NFL (Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and Major League Baseball (Eastern Kentucky’s Christian Friedrich) Drafts in the same school year. The OVC sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle.

The DAVIS BUILDING is topped by its landmark cupola and houses the Department of Languages, Literature and Philosophy and the Thomas E. Poag Auditorium. The building, which once housed the administrative offices, is named after TSU’s second president Dr. Walter S. Davis. KEAN HALL, a simplified Art Deco style gymnasium erected in 1951 at a cost of $1,500,000 was dedicated Wednesday, November 25, 1953. The structure is located on the south side of the campus at John Merritt Boulevard and 33rd Avenue, North and is named after former TSU Football head coach and Athletic Director, Henry A. Kean. The building contained at the time of its construction: a gymnasium, health, physical education and recreation classrooms, laboratories, staff offices, and facilities for indoor intramural sports, staff and student recreation and physical therapy. The building was vacated in 1980 when the HPER moved to the new Gentry Center Complex. The $300,000 renovation, approved in 1986-1987, connected the building to the Floyd-Payne campus center in 1991. The building became a recreational facility for the general campus population. It also serves as the headquarters for the Air Force ROTC, TSU Athletics and the academic and Hall of Fame.

The PERFORMING ARTS CENTER is located adjacent to the east side of the existing Strange Music Building. The facility houses the Theater, Television, Radio and Music Departments and includes a complete renovation of the Strange Music Building. A performance theater seating for 400 was constructed as part of the new building. Theater department spaces include classrooms, support spaces and offices. Rehearsal and production facilities are provided for television and radio departments, as well as offices and support areas. The music department has new laboratory facilities, practice rooms, classrooms, offices and an expanded band practice room and support facilities. The project included approximately 30,400 sq. ft. of renovated space (the Strange Music Building) and 43,000 sq. ft. of new construction.

The FLOYD-PAYNE CAMPUS CENTER contains various student and administrative offices, campus bookstore, post office, and dining services. The Center is named after former TSU student and fifth president, Otis L. Floyd, and long-time Dean of Students and Vice-President of Student Affairs, Joseph A. Payne. The BROWN-DANIEL LIBRARY was erected in 1976 and opened for service during the summer of 1977. This present structure has 82,000 square feet of space with special study and research facilities for faculty and graduate students, and a Special Collections Room which houses the University’s historical archives, theses, dissertations, and other special materials. The library is named in memory of Library Directors, Martha M. Brown and Lois H. Daniel.

The AVERITTE AMPHITHEATER located in the center of campus; landscaped and has permanent seating for 200. The structure is named after Laura M. Averitte, author of Tennessee State University’s alma mater.

TERESA

PHILLIPS DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

13TH YEAR, VANDERBILT Teresa Lawrence-Phillips became head of the Tennessee State University athletics department in April of 2002. As director, the athletic department has made tremendous strides on the playing ﬁeld, campus, community and classroom.

Phillips and her staff enjoyed their most successful season in 1994–95 as the Lady Tigers (22–7, 12–4 OVC) shared the regular season title. TSU claimed its second consecutive tournament title and a trip to the NCAA tournament.

Some accomplishments under the Phillips’ administration include the launching of the ﬁrst ofﬁcial website for TSU Athletics in August of 2002, the revitalization of the Big Blue Booster Club, the recognition of Ohio Valley Conference Scholar Athletes, and conference championships in volleyball, women’s track including a PGA minority national championship in men’s golf.

She has been invited twice to serve as an assistant coach for USA Basketball (1995 and 1999) and was invited to serve as an assistant coach for the U.S. Olympic Festival North Squad.

Phillips also has the distinction of being the first woman ever to coach an NCAA Division I men’s basketball team en route to being named one of the “101 Most Influential Minorities in Sports” by Sports Illustrated in 2003. She was also named as the Second Most Influential Woman in Sports in Tennessee by The Tennessean newspaper. In addition, she was named USA Today’s National Coach of the Year in 1990 and was a three-time OVC Coach of the Year selection.

Prior to her stint at TSU, Phillips was head coach at Fisk University for four years. She guided the Bulldogs to WIAC League and Tournament Championships in 1987 and 1988 and was tabbed WIAC Coach of the Year twice (1987, 1988). She compiled a 68-34 overall record with the Bulldogs. She graduated from Vanderbilt University with a bachelor’s degree in Economics before obtaining a Masters in Education from TSU in 1999. Phillips, who helped recruit six All-Americans and seven All-State players, served as an assistant coach with the Lady Commodores (1981-1984) winning the N.I.T. in 1983.

Phillips earned several honors as a threeyear letter winner at Vanderbilt. She was the ﬁrst recipient of the Lady Commodore Athlete of the Year honor, given to the best all-around female athlete. In addition, she received the Nashville Civitan’s Sportsmanship Award in 1979 and 1980.

2014 SEASON PREVIEW

The Te The Tenn Tennessee nnes esse see e State Stat St ate e football foot fo otba ballll team tea eam m enjoyed its finest season in nearly 30 years in 2013, by making it to the second round of the FCS Playoffs. The Tigers also placed second in the Ohio Valley Conference, which was the highest finish for the team since winning the league in 1999. To add to the accolades, Big Blue also took home the Historically Black College National Championship, as the squad was the first HBCU to win a postseason game this millennium. TSU head coach Rod Reed enters his fifth campaign at the helm of the Tigers having posted a 10-4 mark a year ago. Reed returns 12 starters from 2013’s unit and having guided his team to at least two more wins in each of the four years prior, he expects his team to be playing into January this upcoming season.

and passed pass pa ssed ed for for 1,405 1 405 yards yar ards ds and and 13 13 and touchdowns. Rising redshirt senior Mike German also tossed 13 scores in 2013, which was the most in the FCS without an interception, but only started four contests. With another solid season, German could hone in on the school’s passing touchdown and yardage records held by Joe “747” Adams. Incoming transfers O’Shea Carter and Nathaniel McGill also could see some solid playing time in the fall. BACKFIELD One player’s dream of being the starting running back for TSU

QUARTERBACKS There could be quarterback controversy again this year as last season, Ronald Butler and Michael German split time under center. Butler played in all 14 games, making 10 starts, en route to being named Second Team All-Ohio Valley Conference. The freshman completed 59 percent of his throws

will come com ome e true true in in the the fall fall after aft fter er Tim Tim will Broughton graduated and Telvin Hooks was sidelined with an injury last winter. Vying to win the coveted spot is sophomore Tevin Spells who impressed coaches as a freshman, but had to wait his turn. He had just 85 yards on 18 carries a year ago. Senior Martine Stevenson is another option following his position change from cornerback to halfback. The speedy Stevenson returned a kickoff for a touchdown last year at FAMU, but just has nine career carries – all during his freshman season. Another back to keep an eye on is Tom Smith, a University of Tennessee transfer, who to-

2014 Tennessee State Football Team Guide taled 67 yards on six touches in the Spring Game. Reed also added Mizzou transfer Greg White and Michigan grad student Stephen Hopkins. RECEIVERS The Tigers return one starting wideout from a year ago in Ryan Mitchell. Mitchell had a breakout junior campaign, snagging a teambest 35 passes for 632 yards and seven touchdowns. TSU will also welcome back senior Weldon Garlington (16 receptions, 159 yards and three touchdowns) and sophomore Chris Sanders-McCollum (seven catches, 80 yards and two scores). In the offseason, the Tigers added JUCO transfer Hakeem Parker and moved running back Darion Hall to the position. While the returning wideout core looks solid, the Tigers will have to replace a pair of prolific tight ends, A.C. Leonard and Wesley Samuels. Leonard bolted for the NFL Draft following an All-American caliber junior campaign in which he caught 34 passes for 441 yards and five scores. Samuels was a big target for TSU quarterbacks in the redzone last year, as six of the senior’s 24 grabs went for touchdowns. Junior Joe Bowens will be asked to shoulder most of the load after amassing 442 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 35 receptions during his first two seasons. OFFENSIVE LINE The offensive line will look a little bit different this season with the omissions of left guard Kadeem Edwards and center Demetrius Rhaney. Both graduated from TSU and were selected in the NFL Draft in the fourth and seventh rounds, respectively. The pair helped block for Tim Broughton who rushed for 1,146 yards (25thmost nationally) and six touchdowns. They also protected a quarterback duo that combined for 26 passes touchdowns and

only four interceptions. The good news, is the Tigers should be okay at both tackle spots with senior Robert Myers holding down the right side and former University of Florida Gator Jessamen Dunker slotted at left. Also, Derek Sibley emerged as a staple at right guard towards the latter part of last season. Backup center Jhaquelle Love should move right up into a starters role, but the other guard spot is up for grabs between redshirt freshmen Jordan Sidney or Evan Clay, or upper classmen Kevin Kenton or James Lewis. DEFENSIVE LINE The defense was the backbone of the 2013 team and ranked sixth nationally in total defense (296.9 yards/game) and seventh in scoring defense (18.1 points/game). That all started up front where reigning OVC Defensive Player of the Year Anthony Bass ranked 29th nationally in sacks/game (0.7) and overall on the season had 34 tackles, 14.5 tackles-forloss, 10.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and recoveries, six quarter

back hurries, four pass breakups, a blocked kick and a safety. He will be back for his senior season as well as opposite defensive end Detorrius Shipley. Shipley had a fine campaign, too, totaling four sacks, five tackles for loss and 34 stops on the year. The interior of the line should be stout once again as both Samquan Evans and Dinsdale Jackson will be on the field again this upcoming season. Evans had 40 total tackles in 2013, 10 of which were for loss, while Jackson added 27 and 3.5. Sophomore Rodney Edwards and redshirt freshman Baron Poole should also see plenty of time at tackle, as both held their own in practices. LINEBACKERS The Tigers lost both outside linebackers Greg Barksdale and Wilson Robinson due to graduation, but return the captain of the defense Nick Thrasher. Thrasher was named AllOVC in 2013 after amassing 110 tackles, the most for TSU since 2002. The senior also racked up 12 tackles for loss while forcing and

2014 Tennessee State Football Team Guide son. All Fitzpatrick did last year was lead Division I players (FBS or FCS) with eight interceptions. The strong safety ﬁnished the year second on the team with 75 tackles (52 solo), 5.5 TFL and eight pass breakups. Van Dyke had one interception in each of TSU’s ﬁrst four contests, forced a fumble and was third on the squad with 58 stops. Fitzpatrick is back for what is sure to be a stellar senior season, but the Tigers must replace Van Dyke’s production. Converted cornerback Ronnie Vinson is most likely slotted for the free safety job following solid campaigns. Other possible safety options are JUCO transfer and early enrollee Vann Williams and sophomore Everett Nicholas. SPECIAL TEAMS

recovering three fumbles. Thrasher now has 230 career tackles which puts him sixth in the school record books, and just 16 away from cracking the top-ﬁve. With two starters gone, Thrasher will be asked to do more this season, but Reed has done a good job of getting some up-and-coming players some playing time. Among that group are Mike West and Justin North who both saw action in all of Tennessee State’s 14 contests. The duo combined for 29 stops and 3.5 tackles for loss in limited playing time, but West’s 20 wrap-ups were just shy of starter Robinson’s 21. Outside of West and North, redshirt junior Antonio Justice Jr. and true junior Chadwick Williams could see the ﬁeld quite often.

Saunders was named to the OVC All-Newcomer Team following a year in which he intercepted four passes and even ran one back for a touchdown at UT Martin. The junior also made 39 tackles and broke-up a team-high nine passes. For Brooks, he tallied a pair of picks, one on the road at Jacksonville State and the other off of future NFL draftee Jimmy Garoppolo, and had 20 stops. While most of the talent is back, the Tigers will have to replace Steven Godbolt and nickelback Andrew Taylor. TSU has a host of players to weather the departures, but the experience of senior Andrew Dale could pull rank and command the most playing time.

CORNERBACKS

The two safeties were perhaps the strongest unit for TSU in 2013, as Daniel Fitzpatrick was named All-American and David Van Dyke signed a contract with the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs after the sea-

D’Ante “Pop” Saunders and Bernell Brooks both return at cornerback this upcoming season, after starting 17 games combined in 2013.

SAFETIES

2013 FCS Playoffs Second Round

Redshirt freshman placekicker Cameron Carter could have the hardest job on the team in 2014, trying to replace the school’s all-time points leader and the first Big Blue kicker to be named to the All-OVC Team Jamin Godfrey. Godfery canned 18 field goals last season alone and finished his career with 317 points. To make things harder for Carter, holder Devin Wilson is no longer on the team following his graduation, leaving punter Leon Holderhead the team’s first option. Holderhead, a senior from Australia, punted 73 times for an average of 38 yards per kick and booted 10 punts longer than 50 yards. TSU would like to utilize Holderhead less often this season, but he should be better in year two of Division I football. Saunders emerged as the team’s top punt returner towards the end of the season, catching 33 kicks for 190 yards, while Stevenson earned the kickoff returner spot after amassing a 23.3 yard average on his 18 tries in 2013.

EHRENFELD OL It’s a homecoming of sorts for Russ Ehrenfeld after spending three seasons at Chattanooga. Ehrenfeld replaces Steven Smith, who accepted an assistant offensive line positing with the Kansas City Chiefs. Returning to Tennessee State in March 2012, Ehrenfeld brought an immediate impact to UTC in his first season. He helped the Mocs allow only nine sacks in 2009, tied for fewest in the Southern Conference and third lowest in the nation. UTC did not allow a sack for the last four games of the season, including a trip to FBS National Champion Alabama in the season finale. In 2010, he turned his attention to the centers and guards, helping T.J. Hurless earn a spot on the All-SoCon second team. Add in Chris Harr and Ehrenfeld has guided two Mocs to all-league honors in his two years at UTC. In 2011, Ehrenfeld coached tight ends, helping the Mocs to a 5-6 overall record, including a 38-17 win at then ranked No. 10 Jacksonville State on Sept. 10. Faysal Shaffat was a 2011 All-Southern Conference freshman tight end for the Mocs. In his first stop at TSU, Ehrenfeld’s offensive line set the tone for the No. 1 rushing offense in the Ohio Valley Conference while allowing just the second fewest number of sacks in the league. All totaled, he has coached more than ten offensive lineman that have gone on to play professionally. Ehrenfeld previously coached the offensive line at TSU for three seasons (1997-99), helping the Tigers capture back-to-back OVC championships in 1998 and 1999. Notably, four linemen from the 1999 team went on to play in the NFL. A native of Hillside, N.J., Ehrenfeld played four seasons at Chattanooga, helping the Mocs claim three SoCon titles as a starting offensive guard. He earned his bachelor’s degree in secondary education-history in 1981. Following graduation, Ehrenfeld’s first coaching position was at TMI Academy as the offensive line coach. His first collegiate position was as a graduate assistant at the University of South Carolina, where he had the opportunity to coach the Gamecocks in the 1984 Gator Bowl. Since then, he has also coached at Austin Peay (1985-87, 95-96), Itawamba Community College (1988-89), Southeast Missouri State (1990-92), Eastern Michigan (1993-94), Alabama State (2000) and Bucknell (2001-02).

BETHUNE-COOKMAN 12

FLORIDA A&M

Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee State football team fell to Bethune-Cookman in a defensive battle, 12-9, in the 15th annual John Merritt Classic.

Tallahassee, Fla. – A suffocating defensive attack allowed the Tennessee State football team to pick up its ﬁrst win of the season with a 27-7 victory at Florida A&M.

TSU held B-CU to just 260 yards, but only mustered 248 on offense.

The TSU defense held FAMU to just 156 yards of total offense, 22 rushing yards on 24 carries, forced two turnovers-with one being returned for a touchdown- and the Rattlers were 2-of-12 on third down conversions.

TSU got into the red zone on three occasions but had to settle for ﬁeld goals. Junior linebacker Nick Thrasher led Big Blue with 10 tackles, six solo. Ronald Butler, who made his ﬁrst career start at quarterback, was 13-of-21 for 132 yards. The freshman did not throw an interception, but also did not have a touchdown.

Senior Tim Broughton led the Tigers with 124 yards on 17 carries for a 7.3 yards per carry average. Sophomore Telvin Hooks was not far behind, gaining 77 yards on the ground on 12 attempts (6.4 ypc). David Van Dyke’s interception was his second in as many games and the ﬁrst touchdown scored by the Tigers in 2013

The last time that TSU did not manage to ﬁnd the end zone was Nov. 13, 2010 against UT Martin when the Tigers fell 37-0. Box Score (Final) Tennessee State vs Florida A&M (Sep 07, 2013 at Tallahassee, Fla.)

Former Tigers Willie Mitchell and Fletcher Smith were on the Kansas City Chiefs in the first ever Super Bowl in 1967. Bennie Anderson was the last former Tiger to win a Super Bowl ring, playing offensive guard on the world champion, Baltimore Ravens, in 2001. Anthony Pleasant (New England Patriots), Joe Gilliam, Jr. (Pittsburgh Steelers), Ed “Too Tall” Jones (Dallas Cowboys), Mike Hegman (Dallas Cowboys) and Randy Fuller played in more than one Super Bowl. Fuller is the only Tiger to make appearances with two different teams playing with the Pittsburg Steelers and Atlanta Falcons while Hegman and Jones were teammates in Super Bowl XII and XIII. Thus far, Jones has tallied the most apperances with three. In Super Bowl XV, Claude Humphrey and Rodney Parker became another TSU pair to play for the NFL Championship with the Philadelphia Eagles. TSU great Richard Dent is the only alum to be named game MVP , helping to lead the Chicago Bears over New England to conclude the 1985 season in Super Bowl XX. in his rookie season, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie helped the Arizona Cardinals to their first NFL Championship in 2009 appearing in Super Bowl XLIII.

During 21 seasons, “Big John” won four undisputed national championships among historically black colleges ranked by the Sheridan Poll, while compiling a lifetime record of 172-33-1. The JMC, one of only two football Classics solely hosted by a single NCAA FCS institution, is intended to allow Tennessee State to raise funds for scholarships and other related needs for TSU students.

THE SGT. YORK TROPHY In July 2007, the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Conference announced the creation of the Sergeant York Trophy which goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four Ohio Valley Conference schools located in the state of Tennessee – Austin Peay State University, University of Tennessee at Martin, Tennessee State University and Tennessee Technological University. The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972. In a close race, Tennessee State and Austin Peay shared the inaugural award, finishing with identical 2-1 records in 2007. Tennessee State took the trophy home thanks to a one-point victory in overtime over the Governors; that game was decided by a block extra point by NFL First Round Draft Pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The Tigers repeated as champions in 2008, winning all three of its Sgt. York games. The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor. Following the war, York returned his home in Pall Mall, Tenn. (located in north central Tennessee, 55 miles northeast of Cookeville) where he dedicated his life to improving education and facilitating educational opportunities for children in the state of Tennessee. In 1927, he established the Alvin C. York Institute after spending several years raising money for the school which opened as a private institution. That school was established, in part, to provide educational opportunities denied to the boys and girls of Fentress Country. In 1937, the Institute became a state special school after an appeal to the Tennessee State Legislature. The school, located in Jamestown, Tenn., is still in operation today. York died on Sept. 2, 1964 and the foundation which he helped establish in 1920 – The Sergeant York Patriotic Foundation – was dormant for many years. The Foundation was re-established by Lipscomb Davis, Jr. in 1992 and is currently run by Sgt. York’s grandson Gerald (U.S. Army Colonel, Retired). York’s papers are archived by Michael E. Birdwell, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of history at Tennessee Technological University, one of the four institutions that will compete for the yearly honor. After the completion of the football season, the Sergeant York Trophy is awarded to the institution with the best head-to-head record in the match-ups with their fellow Tennessee schools. In the event of a tie, the award is shared; however, the previous winner will retain the trophy if they are part of the tie. If the tie is between two other institutions, the trophy will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons without winning the trophy. The award is presented to the winning institution annually at the Pepsi Celebration of Champions which is hosted each spring by the Nashville Sports Council. The event was
