Covering the Wildcats
Davidson Radio Network The Davidson Radio Network enters a new era as Brad Sherrill begins his first year as the play-by-play announcer for the Wildcat football squad. Sherrill joined the network team last year as a field reporter for John Kilgo and Dave Fagg ’58. All of the Davidson football games will be broadcast live on WHIP AM (1350) out of Mooresville, N.C. For those outside the radio signal, the games are aired on TEAM-
DE
LINE at 800-846-4700, ext. 1143. Wildcat fans also can hear the games via the internet. Just log on at www.davidson.edu/athletics to find the link on the Davidson Web site. Every broadcast will begin onehalf hour prior to kickoff. A 1999 graduate of Appalachian State, Sherrill earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration as he majored in marketing and minored in communications. He worked for the Appalachian State radio station (WASU) during his years at ASU, covering football, men’s and women’s basketball, and hosting a weekly radio show. For over three years, Sherrill worked with Clear Channel Radio in Statesville (WFMX 105.7 FM and WSIC 1400 AM) as the playby-play voice for all high school football and basketball broadcasts. He is currently employed with Retail Sports Marketing Inc., managing the NASCAR retail account. Born in Denver, Colo., Sherrill grew up in Winston-Salem, N.C., where he attended Mt. Tabor High School and played basketball for the Spartans. His mother and father still live in Winston-Salem, and he has an older broother, Wood, and an older sister, Kelley Kirkman. Sherrill is engaged to Ali Lacy, a UNC Charlotte graduate, and the couple lives in Charlotte with their dog, Brutus.

2004 Season Outlook Now that the string of consecutive winning seasons has come to an end at five, the big question for the Davidson Wildcat football squad is whether or not it can get back to its winning ways. Historically speaking, the outlook is not very good. Twice previously Davidson had five straight winning seasons — 1914-18 and 1954-58. After that initial streak, the ’Cats suffered through five seasons without a winning record. The next time, Davidson went six years with more losses than victories. But Davidson head coach Mike Toop will not throw up his hands and surrender the next several seasons. “How we perform has nothing to do with what happened 40 or 50 years ago, or even five years ago,” Toop commented. “Our success will be determined by how hard we work, how committed we are to being a winning football team. We have talent and we have experience; we just need to improve on our consistency in the basic fundamentals — tackling, blocking, throwing and catching.” Position by position, here are the contenders who will have to prove they are up to the challenge of bringing back winning football to Davidson.
Needing 1,005 yards to become Davidson’s all-time rushing leader, senior John Leverett will help the Wildcats make a run for the PFL Championship.
With just one quarterback on the roster that is not a freshman, the Wildcats open the season with senior Damion White as the field general. If there is one athlete on the squad whose top priority is consistency, White is that player. He threw for 1,266 yards in 2003, 1,017 of which came in a four-game span during the middle of the season. Those four games also happened to be Davidson’s best stretch, going 3-1 with a near-upset of then-top-ranked Dayton. White has the ability to burn a defense with his right arm or his legs. But how he rebounds from last year’s season-ending knee surgery could be the key to his season. “The ability is there with Damion, no question about it,” stated Toop. “What we need is for him to be ready each and every game and be consistent. He can make some very exciting plays, but consistency and intelligent decisions will be most important.”
a power rusher who pounds his way through the line. But the stocky Hubbard can break away from the defense with surprising speed. Coach Toop will not fret with Hubbard or senior Christian Hunt at tailback. Similar to Leverett in terms of style, Hunt missed the first four games last season, then scampered 70 yards on just four carries in his first action. He averaged 6.7 yards on his 17 rushes in 2003, and the year before Hunt led the team with 116 carries. “I couldn’t ask for better talent at tailback than what this team has,” Toop said. Leverett is going to finish his career as one of Davidson’s best rushers ever, and the other two have the ability to start as well.” Fullback is another story altogether. Already thin at the position, the Wildcats lost a pair of fullbacks before preseason training even started, leaving the untested sophomore duo of Mike Chapman and Kevin Wright. Chapman has added 30 pounds to his frame since entering Davidson last year, giving him the bulk to block. Wright, meanwhile, is making a position change from wide receiver.
Running Backs
Receivers
Without a doubt, tailback is Davidson’s deepest position with three excellent rushers, led by All-PFL senior tri-captain John Leverett. Last year, Leverett became just the third Wildcat to amass 1,000 yards in a season and the third to surpass 2,000 yards for a career. He also accounted for all but one rushing touchdown. A slashing runner who combines speed and power, Leverett needs 1,005 more yards in his final campaign to become the school’s all-time leading rusher. Providing a different, yet just as effective, rushing attack will be Jonathon Hubbard. The 5-7, 220-pound sophomore is
Graduated are Davidson’s all-time leader in receiving yards (Barrett Johnson) and another with more than 1,000 career yards (Randall Hardy). But the Wildcats do boast sophomore Brett Dioguardi, who enjoyed the finest freshman season ever for a Davidson receiver, and a pair of sure-handed juniors in Jake Rice and Brian Purcell. “You can’t replace a Barrett Johnson,” noted Toop, “but with Brett we have one of the top receiving threats in the league. We may not have the experience at wideout, but that just means it is someone else’s time to step up and prove himself.”
Quarterback
d av i d s o n
Dioguardi was the second-leading receiver in his first season with the ’Cats, catching 30 passes for 542 yards, both marks being school records for a freshman. He possesses all the characteristics of a potentially-dominant receiver — speed, quickness, sure hands and fearlessness. Beyond Dioguardi, however, the experience level is not very high. Rice is the only other wideout that has caught even one pass in his career with six receptions. Purcell, meanwhile, served as a defensive back last year. One sophomore who could figure into the mix as well is Robert Manire. He has shown more improvement than anyone on the roster through determination and a great work ethic. At tight end, the ’Cats feature returning junior starter Jordan Sundheim. The second-leading returning receiver, Sundheim has terrific football instincts that enable the coaches the luxury of possibly placing him in the backfield at fullback as well. Also vying for time at tight end will be sophomore Jackson Whetsel, who is making the transition from quarterback.
Offensive Line Experience is not an issue among the front five on offense. All five projected starters, including three sophomores, started nearly every game for Davidson in 2003. Even the reserves have seen a considerable amount of game action. But improved blocking will be necessary for the offense to be successful. The Wildcats allowed 41 sacks last year, by far the most in the league. “We went through some growing pains on the line last year with three freshmen starting,” acknowledged Toop. “But they all got important game experience which will only help with their development.” The dean of the line is senior left tackle Blair Reynolds, a four-year starter charged with protecting the quarterback’s blind side. He is a formidable physical presence with good quickness. Over the years he has lined up at both tackles and understands the offensive schemes as well as anyone. Sophomore Michael Iafrate is stepping into the starting center position. Perhaps the Wildcats’ best blocker, Coach Toop likens him to two-time All-PFL center Jon Davis ’03. One of the strongest players on the team, Iafrate provides a low center of gravity and is a fundamentally-sound blocker. Joining Reynolds on the left side will be junior guard Elliott Culter, who has started 13 straight games dating back to 2002. Last year he was the center, but the position shift should play better to his strengths. The right side of the line will be manned by sophomore guard Derrick Thompson and either senior Josh Layfield or sophomore Jeremy Bloxson at tackle. Both Thompson and Bloxson started eight games as rookies, while Layfield has continued to

2004 Season Outlook improve throughout his career. Junior Ryan Arnold has the potential to be a tremendous force up front and will certainly push to start at either guard, while senior Jonathan Hughes was unfortunately lost to an injury.
Defensive Line Disruption is the name of the game for Davidson’s defensive linemen. Sacks show up in the stat lines, but penetrating the line and creating chaos in the backfield is the key to an effective defense. The Wildcats are looking to replace their best disruptor, PFL South Co-Defensive Player of the Year Darryl Childers, who led the conference and tied a school record with 11.0 sacks last season. Seniors Chris Leftwich and David Welch are being counted on to help apply some of that pressure. Leftwich is coming off a somewhat disappointing junior season in which he did not register one sack. A return to form will go a long way in improving the defensive front. Playing at the other end will be Welch, who won a starting role after excellent spring practices. Throughout his career he has displayed a knack for penetrating the line and will get a full-time opportunity to be a nuisance in the opposing backfield. At nose guard, sophomore Jim Walter is the anchor of the defensive line. He is quick off the snap and has the strength to barrel his way through the line. If he improves as he did during his freshman season, Walter could very well earn All-PFL honors. Waiting in the wings are several players that will get opportunities to display their talents as linemen. Seniors Byers Bowen and Brendan Zeigler will spell Walter at nose guard, while sophomores Dan Pell and Brendan Watkins will see plenty of action on the ends. All four missed time last year with injuries, so staying in good health will go a long way in determining the effectiveness of the linemen. “All of these guys will contribute up front,” Toop stated. “How well they do their jobs — mainly upsetting the flow of the opposing offense — will directly reflect on how well everyone else can do their jobs.”

With Robinson, the coaches know exactly what they’re going to get — all-out effort on every play. He possesses excellent instincts and intelligence on the field, and will be a candidate not only for AllPFL honors, but also Academic All-America honors. While nagging injuries dogged him a year ago, a healthy Robinson means headaches for opposing offenses. 2003: Academic All-PFL second team for second consecutive year, and PFL Honor Roll for third straight campaign … third on team with 5.5 TFL and fifth with 62 tackles … played in first 10 games with eight starts before missing final game … three times reached double digits in tackles, beginning with the season opener with 10 stops against Wingate … one of those tackles was a solo stop on third-and-four, forcing a punt in the fourth quarter with the ’Cats trailing by just five … pitched in on a goalline stop on third down to keep San Diego to a field goal … dropped 10 Bulldogs at Butler, including one for a loss, helping Davidson to first win … posted another TFL at Emory & Henry among his five stops … forced a fumble on first play from scrimmage versus Dayton, setting up Wildcat field goal … was one of the defensive stalwarts at Morehead State, racking up a career-best 11 tackles, five solo … amassed 2.5 TFL against Coastal Carolina among his seven tackles … his biggest stop came on a fourth-and-one to give the ’Cats possession. 2002: Academic All-PFL second team … led conference in forced fumbles with five, plus was third in league in fumble recoveries with three … two of those forced fumbles came in season-ending 49-28 victory at Austin Peay … recovered a fumble at Valparaiso and rumbled six yards into the end zone for his first career touchdown … registered his first career interception against Emory & Henry, returning it 14 yards … posted a season high with 10 tackles at HampdenSydney … had two TFL versus Georgetown … started all 10 games at inside linebacker. 2001: Played in every game, amassing 17 tackles … season high in tackles (four) came against a pair of PFL teams, Jacksonville and Austin Peay … recovered a fumble, returning it 15 yards against the Dolphins … dropped a Valpo runner for a loss of two yards … named to PFL Honor Roll. Extra Points : English major … team captain and defensive MVP at Athens Academy … Athens BMW Ultimate Player Award … honorable mention all-state … North Georgia All-Star Team … state champ in discus and third in state in shotput … also captained basketball squad … National Honor Society … Cum Laude Society … National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame High School Scholar-Athlete Award … actually goes by Mixon, but uses Raleigh as his moniker for his football career at Davidson.

Blair Reynolds senior ◆ 6-2 ◆ 260 candler, n.c. ◆ asheville A four-year starter, Reynolds is without a doubt the keystone of the front line. By the end of the season, he will be an All-PFL candidate. Reynolds has the important job of protecting the quarterback from behind, and has proven to be more than up to the task. His experience up front will be essential to the improvement of the offensive line as a whole. 2003: Started all but one game at left tackle and came off the bench in the other … provided many holes for 1,000-yard rusher Leverett throughout the season … made a smooth transition to left tackle from right the year before and consistently did a superb job of blocking the quarterback’s blind side. 2002: Started at right tackle for the Wildcats in nine of the 10 contests … only missed the Emory & Henry game … big reason ’Cats averaged more than 30 points per game for just the second time in program history. 2001: Started all nine games at right tackle as a freshman … durability helped offensive line overcome lack of depth. Extra Points: Physics major … All-Mountain Athletic Conference as a defensive end at Asheville… All-Western North Carolina First Team at defensive end.

Following a terrific spring, Welch has earned a starting spot on the defensive line. Now the coaches need him to carry over his performance into the fall and be a force up front.

He possesses all the athleticism anyone could ask for at quarterback, combining excellent speed and elusiveness with a strong arm that can hit the receivers well downfield. The fortunes of Wildcat football last year correlated directly to White’s success, and this year should be no exception. 2003: Struggled early in the season, managing just 55 passing yards in the first three games while completing 8-of-24 … erupted at Butler for 237 passing yards — his first of four consecutive 200-yard games — and a season-best four touchdown tosses, one shy of the school record for a single game … 12 of his 15 completions against the Bulldogs went for first downs, five of which came on third down … also rushed for career-high 49 yards at Butler for 286 yards of total offense … connected with Barrett Johnson on three of the four scoring strikes … continued his offensive assault the following week by completing a season-high 16 passes on 24 attempts for 291 yards and three touchdowns without an interception at Emory & Henry … threw for 10 first downs, five on third down … equaled his rushing total from the previous week with 49 yards again for 340 yards of total offense … threw for 206 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown bomb, against top-ranked Dayton in front of the homecoming crowd … seven of the 10 completions went for first downs … also rushed for two more first downs … led Wildcats to lone PFL victory by completing 13-of-25 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns at Jacksonville … one of the TD throws went for 83 yards, six yards shy of the school record

He combines quickness and energy with the ability to deliver crunching tackles. If he can begin the season where he left off the last one, opposing receivers beware. 2003: Named to PFL Honor Roll for second consecutive year … spark on special teams and in defensive secondary before a subluxated shoulder forced him to miss five games … returned to play in season finale at Georgetown … nine of 21 tackles came on special teams … one of the few Wildcats who enjoyed a good game against San Diego, busting loose for 138 yards on five kickoff returns, including one for 51 yards … also forced a fumble and broke up a pass on third down to force a punt against the Toreros while amassing a season-high five tackles … also brought down five opponents against VMI and Butler, while registering a TFL against the Keydets … continued his excellent return work at Butler, bringing back three kicks for 88 yards — one of which went for 41 yards — plus a pair of punts for 23 total yards. 2002: Played in seven games … lone tackle came at Austin Peay … named to PFL Honor Roll.

Arinsmier made the most of his opportunities last year to emerge as a defensive force for the Wildcats. Having earned a starting slot at inside linebacker, he must continue to perform at the same level. Year in and year out, Davidson produces a terrific linebacking corps. Arinsmier is no exception to that rule. 2003: Played in every game, starting four, and ranked third on the squad with 82 tackles while tying for 11th in the PFL … saw more playing time as the season wore on and he proved his worth … more than two-thirds of those 82 stops came in the final five games … posted four double-digit tackle games, leading the team in each of those contests … recorded a season high of 15 tackles, 11 of which were solo, at Jacksonville … assisted on a tackle for loss twice — at Butler and at Emory & Henry … also recovered a crucial fumble in the fourth quarter against the Wasps … followed up his 15-tackle performance with 12 stops at Morehead State along with another fumble recovery … finished the season with 11 tackles against Coastal Carolina and 12 more at Georgetown … one of his stops against the Hoyas came on a third-and-one to force a punt. 2002: Participated in seven games … first tackle came versus Emory & Henry … posted a tackle for a loss of three yards against Wesley.

Athletic and agile, he starts the year backing up at either guard. But if Arnold goes the extra mile, he will be in the running for a starting job anywhere on the line. 2003: Opened the season as the starting left guard, but suffered a sprained ankle in the first game versus Wingate, causing him to miss next two contests … played in seven of the final eight games off the bench while seeing plenty of action at left guard and also serving as the backup center. 2002: Played in five games, including the victory over Austin Peay in the season finale … named to the PFL Honor Roll. Extra Points: Spanish major … four-sport letterman at Margaretta earning a total of 11 letters ... two-time all-conference in football and all-conference in baseball as a senior ... president of SADD and NHS ...

After serving as the center last year, Culter is moving back to guard to start on the right side. He has also added size and strength, making him a formidable force on the left side. 2003: Started the last eight games at center for the Wildcats … only offensive lineman on the squad to start every game last year … presence in the middle a very big reason for Leverett becoming just the third Wildcat to rush for 1,000 yards in a season … also one of the players largely responsible for Davidson leading the PFL with the fewest penalty yards. 2002: Saw action in nine games, starting four of the final seven contests … Wildcats scored at least 41 points in each of his four starts. Extra Points: Biology major … all-conference as a senior to help St. Xavier to state finals … team ranked eighth nationally in Division 1 … three-year letterman with track team … National Honor Society … has worked with Big Brothers Program, Special Olympics and Habitat for Humanity.

Moore has played many positions for the Wildcats, but looks to contribute as a linebacker in 2004. He is one of the fastest athletes on the squad, and his athleticism is needed on defense. 2003: Saw most of his action on special teams, but also lined up as a tight end before switching to linebacker in the middle of the year … missed two games with an injury … registered three tackles at Emory & Henry, one while a tight end after a fumble, the others as a linebacker during the Wasps’ final possession … assisted on a tackle on a kickoff versus Coastal Carolina … posted a season-high four tackles, three solo, on special teams in the season finale at Georgetown … also forced a fumble on a punt that set up Davidson’s lone touchdown against the Hoyas. 2002: Carried ball as a fullback once in three different games … longest rush was sixyarder at VMI.

He will help ease the loss of Davidson’s all-time leading receiver, Barrett Johnson. 2003: Performed in nine games as a key backup wide receiver and special teamer … three of his five catches went for first downs, including a 23-yarder on third-and-19 at Jacksonville that kept a touchdown drive alive … caught passes versus VMI and San Diego for two and seven yards, respectively … 15-yard reception at Emory & Henry went for a first down … other catch went for a career-long 33 yards against Austin Peay … served as punt returner for a couple games, with a long return of eight yards against Dayton … racked up seven tackles on special teams, two coming at Emory & Henry and Jacksonville each. 2002: Saw time in seven games … first career reception was for five yards against Emory & Henry.

A football player in every sense, Sundheim is coachable, hard-nosed, talented and versatile, a combination every coach seeks. When he isn’t catching passes at tight end, he can line up as a fullback and block, serve as the long snapper and or go all out on special teams. Sundheim is truly one of the invaluable members of the squad. 2003: One of just eight Wildcats to start every game … caught at least one pass in nine of the 11 contests, and had one first down in seven different games … had three separate receptions of 22 yards, a career long … hauled in three passes in the season opener against Wingate … lone reception at Butler was a three-yard scoring strike in the back of the end zone on a spectacular catch … other touchdown came on a sevenyard toss at Emory & Henry … caught three passes in that game for 36 yards … posted career highs with five receptions for 52 yards versus Austin Peay … recorded solitary snares of 11 and 20 yards against Coastal Carolina and Austin Peay, respectively, both of which went for first downs … also registered five tackles, two at Gerogetown on special teams. 2002: Played in all 10 games … caught three passes for 26 yards out of the backfield in college debut at VMI … all three rushes came versus Emory & Henry … set season highs with four receptions for 47 yards, including season-long 19-yard touchdown catch at Austin Peay … made three tackles on special teams in last two games.

The backup to Leverett at tailback, Hubbard offers a different look to opposing defenses. He epitomizes the power runner, combining fullback strength with agility and speed, as well as excellent field vision. Hubbard is probably the most difficult Wildcat to tackle due to his strength, balance and low center of gravity. 2003: Performed admirably as the backup to the featured back Leverett … saw action in nine games, missing the other two due to a hip pointer … first rushes came against VMI, earning a first down on a third-and-one … rushed for eight other first downs during the season … ran for 22 yards on eight carries versus San Diego, plus caught his only pass of the year against the Torero defense … after carrying the ball five times for 21 yards at Butler, had his biggest game at Emory & Henry, barreling for 80 yards on just 11 carries, including a season-long 18-yard run … rushed

Coaching Staff Head Coach Mike Toop Mike Toop was hired on Dec. 14, 2000, as Davidson’s 25th head football coach. He arrived on the heels of the first perfect season in the program’s history, spanning more than 100 years. Undaunted by the pressure to provide an encore for the 10-0 season, Toop has led his team to a pair of winning seasons and a 15-15 mark in his three years. Unfortunately, the Wildcats had their string of five straight winning seasons come to an end with a 3-8 record in 2003. “We went through a lot of adversity last year,” stated Toop. “After a slow start the team really began to gel. Even though the season did not end the way we would have liked, the players never gave up. They always played to the best of their abilities.” After ushering the Wildcats into the Pioneer Football League era with a 5-4 overall mark and 1-2 conference record in 2001, Davidson amassed seven victories for the fourth time in five seasons, but just the seventh time in over 100 years. The 7-3 record came with a 2-1 league mark, placing the ’Cats second in the South Division. Davidson also posted its fifth consecutive winning season in 2002, just the third time the school has accomplished that feat. Perhaps the most difficult of Toop’s initial tasks was to instill a sense of stability for the team since the Wildcats were on their third coach in three years. By retaining the entire assistant coaching staff, Toop managed to provide the continuity the team needed. “Three coaches in three years would leave a lot of players’ heads spinning,” Toop said. “Posting winning seasons in each of those years is a testament to the tremendous
work ethic of everyone on this team.” Prior to coming to Davidson, Toop served as the defensive coordinator for the University of Connecticut for two years. In 2000, the Huskies played their first season at the Division I level. Toop was the defensive coordinator at the University of Pennsylvania for seven seasons (1992-1998), leading a defensive unit that has been well known as one of the best in Division I-AA during that span. His 1998 unit finished fourth in the country in rushing defense and 23rd in total defense. In 1994, Toop’s defense was No. 1 in I-AA in three categories — pass efficiency, total defense and scoring defense. Penn captured the Ivy League Championship in 1998, 1994 and 1993 and set an NCAA IAA record for consecutive wins with 24 during his tenure.

Coaching Staff Assistant Coach Brett Hayford
Assistant Coach Mike Clark Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line
Recruiting Coordinator/Quarterbacks
In each of the four seasons Clark has served as the offensive coordinator, the ’Cats have averaged at least 22 points a game. Two years ago, Davidson managed a whopping 32 points per contest to rank 14th among I-AA schools. It marked just the second time in Davidson’s long history of football that the team topped 30 points per game. The youthful offensive line of a year ago has evolved into one steeped with experience. Coach Clark expects dramatic improvement from his group, and how the front line responds will go a long way toward determining the Wildcats’ success. “Mike has proven his ability to work with the talent given him and help the players reach their potential,” Coach Toop stated. “With so many returning starters on the line and within the offense, Mike will have the players’ familiarity with the system to help boost productivity.” Clark graduated from Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pa., in 1993 with a degree in Business Administration. He earned a master’s degree at Rowan College while working as an assistant coach there for two years. After spending two seasons at Princeton with former Wildcat head coach Joe Susan, he went back to his alma mater as the offensive line coach, helping the Warriors reach the NCAA playoffs. Mike and his wife, Danielle, live in Mooresville with their daughter, Allison Nicole (3), and newborn son, Brendan (five months).
Hayford is the longest-tenured coach of the football team as he returns to the ’Cats in 2004 for his 12th year on the staff. With the reshuffling of responsibilities among the assistants, Hayford will be coaching the quarterbacks, all of whom are freshmen save one. As the defensive line coach, Hayford coached the past two sack leaders in the PFL in Ryan Tennis ’03 and Darryl Childers ’04. Davidson led the league in sacks as a team as well in 2002, averaging 3.3 per game, while no other squad had more than 2.5. Whereas before he was instructing players on how to sack the quarterback, now Hayford will be teaching the quarterbacks how to avoid the sack and read defenses. “Brett knows Davidson football,” Coach Toop said. “With his experience at this school, I think he is an excellent person to coach so many rookies at quarterback. His background here also makes him the perfect candidate to be the recruiting coordinator.” Hayford graduated in 1993 from Davidson, where he played two seasons as a defensive lineman and as an outfielder for the baseball team. At Shorecrest Prep in St. Petersburg, Fla., his father, Phil, coached his high school football team. He is married to the former Beth Snowden, who is the head athletic trainer at Davidson. They live in Huntersville with their son, Thad (5).
Assistant Coach Meade Defensive Coordinator/Outside Linebackers In the three years Davidson has been a member of the Pioneer Football League, Clendaniel’s defense has ranked among the top three in total defense twice. These performances come on the heels of his first season as defensive coordinator in 2000, when he directed the defense to I-AA top-10 national rankings in scoring defense (third) and rush defense (eighth). Although inexperience plagued the Wildcat defense last year, a resurgence is expected in 2004 with a terrific corps of linebackers and improved play up front and in the secondary. “Meade continues to demonstrate a terrific grasp of defensive football,” noted Coach Toop. “He tirelessly studies the opposition and develops a game plan to stop its offense. His record certainly speaks for itself.” Clendaniel graduated from West Chester University in 1997 with a degree in biology and spent his senior year as a student assistant coach for the football squad. He also was a fullback for West Chester for three seasons. In August of 1998, he joined the staff at Princeton, working with current assistant Mike Clark and former head coach Joe Susan. Among his duties as an assistant at both schools were recruiting, developing the defensive game plan, scouting reports and all phases of special teams. Clendaniel is currently engaged to Meredith Tarpley and lives in Cornelius.

Coaching Staff Assistant Coach Ryan Crawford
Assistant Coach Jim Schroeder
Assistant Coach Frank Swart
Defensive Backs
Defensive Linemen
Inside Linebackers
Crawford, a member of the Davidson football squad from 1997-2000, is back for his second season on the coaching staff. This season, he will coach the position at which he earned Associated Press First Team I-AA AllAmerican status in 1999 when he led all of I-AA in interceptions. The following year, he was the I-AA Mid-Major Defensive Back of the Year and the I-AA Independent Defensive MVP. “If anyone knows what it takes to succeed at this level, it is Ryan,” said Coach Toop. “He was a great leader for this team as a player, and he will instill his work ethic into our players.” Since graduating in 2001, Crawford has played semi-pro football for the Carolina Cowboys, plus professionally with the Indiana Firebirds of the AFL and was in camp with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL two summers ago. Crawford, a native of Newton, N.C., is single and resides in Charlotte.
Schroeder, a 2001 graduate of PFL rival Valparaiso, is in his second season with the Wildcats and will coach the position he played as an undergraduate. As an All-PFL first team defensive lineman, Schroeder helped the Crusaders to a share of the 2000 PFL title. Upon completing his degree in physical education, he joined the Valpo coaching staff as a graduate assistant. Schroeder also played and coached for the DortmundBochum Giants American football team in Dortmund, Germany, during the summer. Two years ago, Schroeder served as the assistant defensive line coach at Columbia, working primarily with the tackles, while breaking down film, creating weekly scouting reports and recruiting in four states. “With his experience in the PFL and as a defensive lineman, Schrades is more than well-qualified to coach these kids,” Coach Toop stated. “He lives to help them reach their full potential.” Schroeder, a native of Michigan, is single and currently resides in Davidson.
Another of the three second-year coaches with the ’Cats, Swart is no stranger to successful football programs. He was a member of the 1987 Division III national champion football team at Wagner College, plus was a two-time captain and four-year letterwinner for the Seahawks. In his junior season, he was honorable mention All-ECAC. “Frank exudes enthusiasm,” commented Coach Toop. “His tireless work ethic and energetic style is contagious among the players.” After graduating from Wagner in 1991, Swart became the assistant football and wrestling coach at Upsala College while attending graduate school. Swart earned a master’s in human resources and business administration from South Carolina as well. He now works for Powerhouse Color, a digital printing company. Swart currently resides in Huntersville with his wife of three years, Linda, and his two daughters, Ava (3) and Julianna (1).
Assistant Coach Curt Williams
Assistant Coach Walter Boyd
Administrative Asst. Traci Russ
Running Backs
Wide Receivers
A 1978 graduate of Catawba College, Curt Williams is in his ninth year spanning two different stints, first serving with the ’Cats in 1993-94. But after eight years on the defensive side of the ball, Williams will be coaching the running backs in 2004. “We are very fortunate to have somebody with the enthusiasm and ability of Curt,” Coach Toop complimented. “He is very familiar with the program and has always done an excellent job.” He picked up in 1998 where he left off, coaching the linebackers on one of the Wildcats’ best defensive teams ever. That squad finished second in I-AA in scoring defense at 10.4 points per game, and fourth in total defense, allowing just 231.9 yards per game. In 1999, the defense led I-AA in interceptions with 28 and was 13th in rushing defense, allowing 101 yards per game. Williams lives in Indian Trail with wife Deborah and has four children: Amanda, Adam, Peter and Benji.
The newest member of the coaching staff, Walter Boyd is coming back to the game he loves as the wide receivers coach. A 1992 graduate of Notre Dame, Boyd was a running back and special teams player for the Fighting Irish. He was a member of the 1988 National Championship team and twice played in the Orange Bowl. Boyd attended Orange High School in Hillsborough, N.C., where he was a Parade All-American running back, plus ran in the state meet in the 200 meters. “Everyone here is thrilled to have Walter on staff,” stated Toop. “He has been a part of winning teams throughout his life, and we expect that trend to continue.” When not working with the Wildcats, Boyd is an IT support specialist with US GreenFiber, LLC. He and his wife Sheena live in Charlotte with their three children, daughter Raya (6), son Isaiah (4) and daughter Trinity (3).
d av i d s o n
Beginning her third year with the football program, Traci Russ has quickly become an integral member of Coach Toop’s staff. Raised in Mooresville and a graduate of South Mecklenburg High School, Russ helps manage the never-ending administrative paperwork and keeps the office running as smoothly as possible. “Traci has been an invaluable addition for us,” Coach Toop commented. “She handles so many different items, allowing us to focus on what we are here to do — coach football.” Prior to Davidson, Russ was the transportation coordinator for five years for Lake Norman Elementary. She currently resides in Statesville and has two children — Taylor (13) and Kaitlyn (10).

2003 In Review Although the 2003 season brought about the end of Davidson’s streak of winning season at five, the Wildcats enjoyed quite a few highlights, individually and as a team. Some of the performances also led to optimism about the 2004 squad returning Davidson to its winning ways of recent years and a shot at the PFL South Division regular-season title.
Preseason Rankings and Honors for ’Cats Despite graduating its starting quarterback, All-America tight end and PFL South Division Defensive Player of the Year, Davidson was ranked by both The Football Gazette and The Sports Network among the top-10 I-AA Mid-Major programs. The former media outlet had the ’Cats fifth, while the latter tabbed Davidson seventh. Meanwhile, a pair of seniors were honored by The Football Gazette as Preseason IAA Mid-Major All-Americans. Barrett Johnson, who ranked among the top five in the PFL in receptions and reception yardage in 2002, was named to the first team. Selected for the second team was punter Chris Costello, who was second in punting average in the PFL the previous year.
Homecoming Upset Spoiled Facing top-ranked Dayton, the reigning PFL champion, the Wildcats faced a tall task in its homecoming game. Davidson nearly pulled off one of its biggest upsets, but the Flyers drove 80 yards in the final 2:28 of the game to score the winning touchdown. The Wildcats led by a single point and were working the clock, driving down to the Dayton nine-yard line only to be turned away as the Flyers blocked a 23yard field goal attempt. On the winning drive, Dayton converted a third-and-14 and a 4th-and-18 to keep its hopes alive.
Leverett One Yard Shy of Rushing Record Junior tailback John Leverett was a workhorse for Davidson, but his best game came on Oct. 11 at Jacksonville. After gaining 57 yards in the first half, he let loose over the final 30 minutes. Of the Wildcats’ 36 offensive plays in the second half, Leverett was handed the ball 24 times for 202 yards, giving him 259 for the game. The school record is 260 set by Ray Sinclair ’82 against Catawba in 1981. Leverett’s longest run of the day was a 71-yard touchdown romp to give the ’Cats a 30-6 lead in the third quarter.
Second-Half Slaughter Trailing 27-9 after the first half of play at Butler on Sept. 20, Davidson roared back with 36 unanswered points in the second half to win its first game of the season. It was also the first victory for the Wildcats when trailing at the half in nearly four years. Granted, Davidson had only trailed at the half in eight of the previous 36 games. The 36 points were also the most for a Wildcat team in the second half in at least 36 years.
Road Win Streak Comes to an End Before playing at Morehead State on Oct. 18, Davidson had won seven straight games on the road, one shy of the school record set during the 1999 and 2000 seasons. But the 35-10 loss to the Eagles brought that streak to a halt. Ironically, Morehead State was the team that ended the Wildcats’ 15-game home win streak the previous season.
Offense Tops 600 Yards In the 45-21 win over Emory & Henry on Sept. 27, the Wildcat offense gained 614 yards. According to the research done by the crack sports information staff at Davidson, that is the most yards compiled by a Wildcat football team since Sept. 21, 1946, when Davidson racked up a schoolrecord 777 yards in a 74-0 annihilation of Erskine.
Hardy Joins 1,000-Yard Club Senior Randall Hardy reached four digits in receiving yards with his seven-yard reception that set up Davidson’s final touchdown against Austin Peay on Oct. 25. The senior became the 18th Wildcat to reach the 1,000-yard milestone.
Childers PFL South Defensive PotY Even though Davidson ranked last in the PFL in total defense, Childers still managed to be named the South Division’s Co-Defensive Player of the Year along with Morehead State’s Craig Unger. Childers was the most devastating pass rusher in the league, easily leading the PFL with 11.0 sacks, which also tied the Wildcat single-season record.
Wildcat PFL Players of the Week Five times during the season, a Wildcat was named one of the PFL Players of the Week. Of those five awards, three were earned by senior place kicker/punter Chris Costello for special teams. His first award came for tying the school record with three field goals against VMI. Two defensive players — sophomore Mark Wilkerson and senior Darryl Childers — also took home the award, but oddly enough, Davidson lost both of those contests.
Johnson Etches Name in Wildcat Annals Senior wide receiver Barrett Johnson enjoyed a phenomenal 2003 campaign, leaving his name scattered throughout Davidson’s records. His 980 receiving yards

Barrett Johnson set a new Davidson career record with 2,157 receiving yards.
are the third most ever by a Wildcat receiver in one season, while Johnson finished his career with 2,157 yards, three more than the previous top mark held by Mike Kelly ’70. He also caught 19 touchdown passes during his tenure with the ’Cats, tying the career record set by Gifford Piercy ’81.
“Grand” Day for Leverett Although Davidson lost to Coastal Carolina on Nov. 8, 52-27, Leverett finished his day in “grand” style. With a nine-yard run in the second quarter, he became just the third Wildcat to rush for 2,000 yards in a career. Six plays later, he ran for a 13yard touchdown to push him above the 1,000-yard milestone for the year, making him just the third different back to accomplish that feat for the ’Cats. Leverett amassed 1,066 yards during the season and enters 2004 needing 1,005 more to become Davidson’s all-time leading rusher.
Saunders Named Academic All-District For the third straight year, and the fourth year of the last five, Davidson boasted an Academic All-District III first team performer on its roster. Junior safety Kevin Saunders, a biology major and the Wildcats’ leading tackler, not only sports a 3.378 GPA, but also ranked fifth in the PFL with 8.6 tackles per game. Saunders forced three fumbles and recovered three as well, plus broke up five passes, picked off another and sacked the quarterback once.
Postseason Accolades Picking up perhaps the most impressive postseason award was Costello, who was named to the American Football Coaches Association Division I-AA All-America squad, the only Wildcat to ever be honored since the AFCA began naming a team in 1945. The Sports Network listed Childers as a I-AA Mid-Major All-American at defensive end, while The Football Gazette named Costello to its I-AA Mid-Major All-America first team and Johnson to its second team. Kicker Chris Costello (left) became the first Wildcat to be named to the AFCA Division I-AA All-America team.
