Following the Ouachita score, the Wonder Boys’ offense finally got their hands on the ball and promptly engineered a 13-play, 71-yard drive to knot the score at 7-all. The final play of the drive was a two-yard rush over the right side by senior tailback Caleb
ArkADElphiA, Ark. – The Arkansas Tech football team had eyes on playing spoiler on Saturday night at Cliff Harris Stadium in Arkadelphia and snapping Ouachita’s 29-game winning streak against Great American Conference opponents, but the No. 8-ranked Tigers proved to be too much to upend on their home turf as they beat Tech by a score of 38-24.
ARKANSAS TECH 2022 FOOTBALL
answered back on their ensuing possession to take a 14-7 lead. The Wonder Boys’ following possession carried the game into the second quarter but ended with a punt. The Tigers then controlled the clock with a 10-play, 82-yard drive that ended with a 27-yard field goal by Gabe Goodman. Ouachita then added another touchdown right before halftime and carried a 24-7 lead into the locker room.
Saturday night’s game got off to an inauspicious start as after the opening kickoff and a mere two plays, the game was forced into a lightning delay as there were strikes within the 10-mile radius surrounding Cliff Harris Stadium. The total length of the delay lasted right at an hour and half with play resuming at 7:30 Priorp.m. to the delay, Ouachita had just ripped off a 50-yard pass play on a screen play. That quickly pushed the Tigers (3-0, 3-0 GAC) into Wonder Boys (0-3, 0-3 GAC) territory. Following the delay, Ouachita resumed their opening drive and four plays later, the Tigers scored the game’s first points on a three-yard rush by TJ Cole.
The two teams traded scores midway through the third quarter. The score by the Wonder Boys was a nine-yard pass from Jack Lindsey to Joyrion Chase, marking the first career TD reception for the Marion High product.

In addition, Arkansas Tech student-athletes have finished top five in the NCAA Division II Team Works community service competition each of the last six years, including three community service national championships.
Dr. Bowen earned the 2016 League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Council 750 President’s Award
Dr. rOBin E. BOWEn, prE siDEnT
During the 2020-21 academic year, Arkansas Tech achieved reaffirmation of its institutional accreditation through the Higher Learning Commission for an additional 10-year period.
ATU has earned national acclaim from the CollegeNET Social Mobility Index as a leading institution in providing students with access to an enhanced economic position following graduation. Arkansas Tech ranked No. 1 in Arkansas on the Social Mobility Index seven consecutive years through 2020. In addition, ATU was named to the Colleges of Distinction Best Colleges cohort for 2021-22 and 2022-23 and U.S. News and World Report selected ATU is the No. 1 public, regional university in Arkansas as part of its 2022 college rankings.
Private support for Arkansas Tech has steadily increased during Dr. Bowen’s tenure as president. Donors provided more than $12.5 million in new gifts and pledges to the ATU Foundation during the 2021-22 fiscal year.
In 2017, the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville College of Education and Health Professions presented her with an outstanding alumni award in recognition of her achievements in and contributions to higher education.
Dr. Bowen and her husband, Doug, are parents of son, Brock; and daughters, Alexa and Brynn.
Dr. Bowen is the first female president of a public, fouryear university in Arkansas. She has been identified by the Arkansas Business Publishing Group as one of the Arkansas 250, an annual list of the state’s top influencers and newsmakers.

An article from the Feb. 26, 1936, issue of the Arka Tech student newspaper stated that Jerry was “always present at anything of importance at the armory,” which was a social center of campus at that time and the site of Arkansas Tech home basketball games.
The original Jerry was a daily part of life at Arkansas Tech in the mid-1930s. He was owned by William O. Young, who oversaw the business affairs of Arkansas Tech as secretary and bursar from 1917-41 and acted as interim president of the college from 1923-25; and his son, Robert A. Young Sr., who grew up to serve as purchasing agent, business manager, vice president for business affairs and vice president for adminis tration and finance at Arkansas Tech from 1941-84 as well as interim president in 1972. Dr. Robert A. Young Jr. has continued his family’s Tech tradition by serving as president of the Arkan sas Tech Foundation and as a loyal supporter of Tech athletics.

When the original Jerry passed away in late 1937, the headline in the Arka Tech proclaimed “Campus Loses Mascot in Passing of Jerry.”

Jerry attends a variety of campus events and alumni gather ings as well as Wonder Boys and Golden Suns athletic competitions. In keeping with the original Jerry’s connection to the armed ser vices, Jerry is escorted to many of his official functions by students from the Arkansas Tech U.S. Army ROTC program.
The original Jerry spent much of his time on campus at the armory (later known as the Stroupe Building) with National Guard Battery F. The students and guardsmen there adopted Jerry as one of their own.
Jerry the Bulldog was adopted as Arkansas Tech University campus ambassador by proclamation of the ATU Student Government Association during its meeting at the Doc Bryan Student Services Center on Wednes day, Oct. 23, 2013.
The action by the ATU SGA represented the re-establishment of an Arkansas Tech tradition that had been lost for more than three-quarters of a century.
The first modern Jerry, whose full name is Jerry Charles Young I, was born on July 17, 2013. He is an English bulldog. He was introduced during a Homecoming Saturday ceremony on Oct. 26, 2013, which was the 103rd anniversary of the first day of classes at Arkansas

• Returning to his alma mater as its 17th head coach
Two of Shipp’s UAM offenses averaged over 400 yards per game, and in 2017, former NFL wideout Jalen Tolliver was named GAC Offensive Player of the Year.
Kyle Shipp enters into his fourth year as head football coach at Arkansas Tech.
During his first year leading the program in 2019, the Wonder Boys were able to produce an important three game win streak that helped them finish the season strong.
• Previously spent time at Tech as a student-athlete, student coach, graduate assistant and wide receivers coach
Prior to his time at UAM, Shipp was on staff at Tech as the wide receivers coach for three seasons (2011-2013). During his first stint in Russellville, Shipp helped the Wonder Boys offense average 30 points and 400 yards of total offense per game during a 2012 season that featured former Montreal Alouettes quarterback Tanner Marsh. Additionally, his kickoff return team of 2011 led NCAA Division II in returns for touchdowns with three. He also coached a pair of all-conference receivers during those three seasons in Russellville.

continually improved over his time in Monticello, with this last year’s Boll Weevil squad averaging 398.6 yards per game - the second-highest mark in the GAC. Two Boll Weevils made all-conference as UAM posted its first winning season since 2008.
Prior to his return to his alma mater, Shipp spent five seasons (2014-2018) as the offensive coordinator at Great American Conference rival Arkansas-Monticello.Shipp’sUAMoffenses
Additionally, that year, Tech landed five players on the GAC All-Conference team.

A former Wonder Boys player and assistant coach, Shipp returned to Russellville and initially joined the staff in January 2019 as the team’s offensive coordinator. A few months into his return, Shipp was elevated to head coach following the resignation of Bo Atterberry due to health reasons.
In 2021, Shipp coached a pair of All-GAC players and improved the team’s win total from the previous season. Overall, the Wonder Boys were also more competitive with three of the defeats being single-possession games with a total point differential of 13 points. They also pushed nationally-ranked Henderson State to overtime, and limited the high-powered offensive attack of Harding to some of their lowest marks of the season.

Josh Lawson enters his fourth year at Arkansas Tech as the program’s defensive coordinator and secondary Incoach.histime at Tech, Lawson has coached three All-Great American Conference players on the defensive side of the ball.
In his first season as defensive coordinator in 2012, Lawson helped engineer a significant turnaround in the Southern Arkansas’ defensive efforts. The Muleriders ranked at least 50 spots higher in the national rankings in all five major defensive categories from 2011, including ranking sixth nationally in rushing defense per game, a rise of 120Duringspots.his time in Magnolia, Arkansas, Lawson also worked with the Muleriders’ linebackers before making the transition to defensive backs prior to the 2015 season. In his eight seasons at SAU, Lawson saw over a dozen of his players earn All-Great American Conference honors. Among those included All-American defensive back Don Unamba, who spent time with the NFL’s St. Louis Rams and has been a mainstay in the Canadian Football League (CFL) with stops playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2014-15), Saskatchewan Roughriders (2015), Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2017-18), Edmonton Eskimos (2019) and the Ottawa Redblacks (2020-pres.).
Prior to arriving at Tech, Lawson spent two seasons at Stephen F. Austin where he was the linebackers coach. In his final year in Nacogdoches, Lawson mentored AllSouthland Conference safety Alize Ward, who ranked 17th in the league with 7.2 tackles per game. Aretavious Hendrix and Trenton Gordon were All-Southland Conference honorable mention picks under his tutelage.
ARKANSAS TECH 2022 FOOTBALL
Lawson began his coaching career at Alabama, his alma mater, in 2001, where he was a student assistant coach for two seasons before stepping into a graduate assistant position for the 2003 and 2004 campaigns. While in Tuscaloosa, Lawson assisted in two top20 recruiting classes and was a part of the Crimson Tide’s 2001 Independence Bowl and 2004 Music City Bowl teams.
During Lawson’s first year in Texas’ oldest town, his linebacker corps featured a trio of talented players in junior Ryan Woods and sophomores Anthony Jacobs and Teddy Britton. The three combined for 160 total tackles, including 17 tackles for loss, providing a stout wall in the heart of defensive coordinator Jeff Byrd’s defensive scheme. Lawson’s linebackers played a pivotal role in helping SFA to rank fifth in the league in red zone defense as opponents scored less than 80 percent of time when reaching the Lumberjacks’ 20-yard line. The group also created quarterback pressure and contributed in pass coverage, aiding SFA to allow just 210 passing yards per game in conference play, which was fifth-best in the Southland Conference in that category.Lawson
Prior to his time at Southern Arkansas, Lawson spent two seasons at UAB, working with the Blazers’ linebackers. His two years in Birmingham were preceded by a oneyear stint at fellow FCS institution Idaho State of the Big Sky Conference, where he served as the Bengals’ defensive line coach. Lawson also spent one year at Walker High School in Jasper, Alabama, filling the roles of co-offensive coordinator, special teams coordinator and wide receivers coach.

A native of Berry, Alabama, Lawson earned both of his degrees from Alabama, achieving his bachelor’s degree in secondary education in 2003, followed by his master’s in sport management in 2004. He is married to the former Meredith Jones.

Under Lawson’s guidance, Southern Arkansas saw significant improvement defensively, allowing just 24.4 points per game and 319.9 yards per contest in 2016.
After his time at ASU, Trevathan spent three seasons at Ole Miss, serving as a graduate assistant in 2012-13 and working specifically with tight ends before becoming a full staff member in 2014 as a quality control coach. During his time on the Rebel sideline, Ole Miss produced two of its three best offensive seasons in school history, including a record 6,153 yards in 2013. Under Trevathan’s tutelage, Ole Miss saw tight end Evan Engram become an All-SEC and All-American selection before leaving Oxford as a first-round NFL draft pick by the New York Giants.
Trevathan and his wife, Morgan, have four children, Kaden, Hudson, Ellie and Rowan.

In his first full year of game action as OC in 2021, Trevathan engineered an offensive unit that averaged 347.8 ypg of total offense. That overall production was a balanced effort as the passing game averaged 203.6 ypg and the running game racked up 144.2 ypg.
After his inaugural season in Poplarville in 2017, eight offensive Wildcats signed with four-year programs, including offensive linemen Gerald Bell (Troy) and Tyrin Arceneaux (Nicholls State), Jamarcus Holmes (Tusculum College), Tremaine Chatman (Tusculum College), Tyler Harris (North Carolina-Pembroke), receiver Malcolm Staten (ArkansasMonticello) and running back Caleb Batie (Missouri Southern State). One of PRCC’s biggest success stories in 2017 was the emergence of quarterback Markevion Quinn. The dynamic quarterback didn’t hold a four-year offer out of high school, but after passing for 943 yards and six touchdowns and running for 879 yards and 17 scores, Quinn signed with Memphis prior to the start of the 2018 season.The Wildcat offense proved to be one of the best in school history with Trevathan’s guidance. PRCC’s 3,822 total yards were the eighth-most in school history, while the team’s 2,399 yards rushing were the most since 1994.

En Arkansas Tech University estarás rodeado de profesores, personal y otros estudiantes que te apoyan y que te entienden a ti y a tu experiencia.
“ Siempre les digo a mis estudiantes que estoy aquí como un recurso, por favor úsenme. Como ex alumna de primera generación de Arkansas Tech, entiendo completamente que la transición de la escuela secundaria a la universidad puede ser un desa o. Es maravilloso tener una persona de referencia para ayudarlo/a con el proceso y responder a todas sus preguntas. Yo soy eso para mis alumnos porque lo entiendo. Disfruto construyendo esas relaciones. Me encanta poder usar el conocimiento que he adquirido para ayudar a otra persona a tener una gran experiencia”.
Alida Gutiérrez es una de los muchos atentos miembros del personal que encontrarás en el campus. Ella fue estudiante de ATU y ahora trabaja en la Oficina de Admisiones ayudando a los estudiantes a tener éxito en el camino para obtener un título.
Sé primero/a con ATU
- Alida Gutiérrez
Ven a ver de primera mano lo que significa poner a los estudiantes en primer lugar.
THIS IS ARKANSAS TECH #ChampionsPlayHere
