Demon coaches

BRAD LAIRD HEAD COACH • FOURTH SEASON AS NSU HEAD COACH Other Responsibilities: Athletic Training Liaison Strength & Conditioning Liaison The first three seasons of Brad Laird’s tenure as the head coach at his alma mater have produced record-setting offenses, turnover-happy defenses and arguably the most challenging set of circumstances faced by a Northwestern State football team. As Laird enters his fourth season at the helm of the Demon football program, he is ready to build on the promise shown in an abbreviated spring 2021 season. In each of Laird’s first three seasons, the Demon offense has rewritten the school passing record book, including seeing Shelton Eppler overwrite Laird’s career passing yardage mark of 6,037 yards which stood since 1995. Despite playing just six games during the 2021 spring season, the Demons saw quarterback Bryce Rivers become the first Demon to surpass 400 yards passing in a game more than once, doing so in each of the final two games. Individual honors have found their way to Natchitoches as NSU has produced three All-Americans, a pair of HERO Sports Sophomore All-Americans and two Freshman All-Americans under Laird. Away from the field, offensive lineman Chris Zirkle, who was a Campbell Trophy semifinalist, a nominee for the American Football Coaches Association Allstate Good Works Team and a semifinalist for the Doris Robinson Award in 2019. Laird’s first Northwestern State team in 2018 posted a one-win improvement from the 2017 season, but the feel around the program was one of effective nostalgia. There was a record-setting offense that would have made Laird the quarterback smile. Making Laird equally happy were the strides the NSU defense made in his first season as the head coach. A three-time defensive coordinator for a total of eight seasons at Northwestern State, Laird saw the Purple Swarm regain that moniker in 2018, collecting 32 sacks (its highest total since 2002) and forcing 26 turnovers. The Demons forced another 24 turnovers in 2019. Counting the 2017 season when Laird was the defensive coordinator, the Demons enter 2020 having forced 67 turnovers in their past 34 games. From 2013-16, Laird was in charge at his high school alma mater, Ruston, where he averaged more than seven wins in four playoff seasons as head coach. In 2017, Laird restored the “Purple Swarm” brand for the NSU defense, which had struggled in the past two seasons but showed flashes of brilliance, especially down the stretch. In the final month of the season, the Demons twice recorded 13 tackles for loss in wins over Houston Baptist and Abilene Christian, and staged a series of goal-line stands, two in the season-ending victory over Stephen F. Austin. Senior linebacker Peyton Guidry was named the national FCS Defensive Player of the Week after making 18 tackles against the Lumberjacks. Laird was running the Purple Swarm defense when NSU was second

nationally in total defense (2004, 274.7 yards allowed per game) and ninth (2003, 287.3 ypg) and produced 75 turnovers from 2003-05. The Demons set three NCAA records and led the Southland Conference in total defense and rushing defense, also ranking highly in pass defense each season. The Demons won their most recent Southland championship and made their last FCS playoff appearance in 2004. In 2004, the Demons tied an NCAA FCS record by notching two safeties vs. Texas Southern. A year earlier, his defense set FCS records by allowing only 1 first down and a net of minus 1-yard offense to Oklahoma Panhandle. After a record-setting playing career at NSU, Laird joined coach Sam Goodwin’s Demon staff in 1996, serving as the defensive graduate assistant coach working for then Demon defensive coordinator Peveto. He then worked for coach Don Shows at West Monroe High School in 1997, going on to coach at Ouachita High, Longview (Texas) High (under former FCS national champion coach Pat Collins) and Nashville (Ark.) High (under his father, Billy Laird) before joining Stoker’s staff as defensive coordinator prior to spring practice in 2003 (Collins and Shows are in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame). From 2005-06, Laird served as the director of Northwestern State’s alumni office.

PLAYING HISTORY

1977-78............................... William and Mary

Mike Lucas’ defenses long have been known for forcing turnovers, something that has continued in his second stint as Northwestern State’s defensive coordinator. Since returning to Natchitoches ahead of the 2018 season, the “Purple Swarm” defense has tallied 60 turnovers in 29 games. In 41 games under Lucas, Northwestern State has forced 90 turnovers. In addition to producing turnovers at a rapid rate, Lucas’ defense continued its penchant for making tackles behind the line of scrimmage. In just six games in the 2021 spring season, the Demons notched 49.5 tackles for loss, led by eight from second-team All-American linebacker Jomard Valsin. The Purple Swarm also made life uncomfortable for opposing quarterbacks, racking up 20 sacks in those six games. Twenty-four of those turnovers came in 2019 when Northwestern State led the Southland Conference in passing yards allowed (255.9 per game). Midway through the season, Lucas added the role of safeties coach to his responsibilities, helping NSU allow an average of 213.7 passing yards per game in the final six games of 2019. Returning to the sidelines in Natchitoches in 2018 after a three-year absence, Lucas left his mark, putting the “Swarm” back in the Purple Swarm defense. Northwestern State forced 26 turnovers, a number that ranked 12th nationally and helped NSU record the 13th-best turnover margin in the country (plus-0.73). The pressure-packed Demons defense also delivered an average of 2.91 sacks per game, ranking 15th nationally. Individually, safety Hayden Bourgeois was named a first-team Sophomore All-American by HERO Sports as well as a first-team All-Southland Conference and All-Louisiana performer. Bourgeois collected seven (5 interceptions, 2 fumbles) of the Demons’ 26 turnovers and ranked third nationally in turnovers forced. Lucas returned to Northwestern State after spending the past three seasons at UL Lafayette where he was the defensive coordinator for the better part of the 2016 and 2017 seasons. While with the Ragin’ Cajuns, Lucas’ 2016 defense ranked 23rd among FBS teams in rushing defense (129.2 yards per game) and 43rd in total defense (379.1). Lucas also coached linebackers at UL Lafayette, tutoring a pair of All-Sun Belt selections in Dominique Tovell (2015) and Otha Peters (2016). During his previous stop in Natchitoches, Lucas’ 2014 Purple Swarm defense ranked fifth in FCS in takeaways (30), 11th in turnover margin (plus-0.83) and 20th in interceptions (15).

From that unit, cornerback Imoan Claiborne was chosen to play in the 66th Annual Reese’s Senior Bowl while he and linebacker Marion Chapman were first-team All-Southland Conference selections. Claiborne and defensive tackle Deon Simon both reached the NFL with Simon beginning his second season with Green Bay in 2019. Lucas was defensive coordinator at Southeastern for two seasons before moving into the head coaching post on an interim basis for the last three games of 2006, and was head coach from 2007-12, recruiting players who contributed to SLU’s 2013 Southland Conference championship. Under Lucas’ leadership, Southeastern improved its overall record each season from 2006-09 while the Lions, for the first time since their program was restarted in 2003, became highly competitive in the Southland. Southeastern developed a school-record setting offense and a typically tough-to-attack defense guided by Lucas. After missing the final six games of the 2008 season due to a heart valve procedure, Lucas returned to win Louisiana collegiate Coach of the Year honors in 2009. At Sam Houston as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach under iconic head coach Ron Randleman, Lucas coached the Bearkats among the top 15 in FCS stat categories 11 times, and led the Southland Conference in defense five times. Among school records set under Lucas: 52 sacks in 2001, fewest points per game (13.2) in 1991. His Bearkat defenses produced 65 All-Southland Conference honors by 41 different players, among them seven who signed NFL contracts and two who were NFL Draft picks. He was defensive coordinator at Eastern New Mexico where his unit led the Lone Star Conference in total defense and scoring defense, and ranked third nationally in punt returns. In 1984 he was wide receivers coach at UTEP. From 1980-83, he coached the secondary, defensive line and linebackers, and assisted with strength and conditioning, at Liberty. He began coaching as a defensive student assistant in 1979 at William and Mary. A two-year letterman at William and Mary, Lucas was a three-year letterman in football at Pemberton (N.J.) High School, where he also lettered in baseball and wrestling. Lucas and his wife Wendy have two adult sons, Tyler, a former quarterback and 2009 graduate of Cornell, and Torin, a former catcher on the Southeastern Louisiana baseball team. Both sons welcomed their first children during the 2019 season. Lucas earned a bachelor of science degree in physical education and psychology from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 1982.

No matter the time of year nor how many games in a season, Brad Smiley’s Northwestern State offenses set records. Playing a six-game season in his third year back at his hometown university, Smiley’s offenses continue to rewrite Demon history. The Demons capped an explosive six-game stretch by setting the school record with 707 yards total offense in a wild season-ending victory at Incarnate Word. In that game, quarterback Bryce Rivers posted the second of backto-back, 400-yard passing games, topped by a school-record 477 against the Cardinals. Rivers became the only Demon ever to surpass 400 yards passing in a game twice and was the second overall to notch a 400-yard passing game. All three 400-yard passing games in NSU history have come with Smiley running the offense, but NSU was not a travel-by-air only unit in the 2021 spring season. Running back Scooter Adams tallied a pair of 200-yard rushing games and crossed the 100-yard mark three times in six games while his freshman running mate, Aubrey Scott, had a 119-yard debut against Nicholls. A member of the Southland Conference championship staff as tight ends coach in 1997, Smiley’s three years as offensive coordinator have produced a boatload of school records – 24 to be exact. The 2019 Demon offense produced NSU’s first 100-catch season and saw quarterback Shelton Eppler etch his name throughout the program’s annals. Eppler left NSU as the owner or co-owner of 18 school records – five career, six single-game and seven single-season marks. As a unit, Smiley’s second NSU offense established program single-season marks for passing yardage (3,616) and passing attempts (557) for the second straight season while also producing the most single-game completions (43) and attempts (62) with both coming in the season opener at UT Martin. Shorts’ productive season earned him third-team All-American honors from STATS FCS, marking the second straight season for a Demon pass catcher to earn All-America honors. Shorts (first team) and offensive lineman Chris Zirkle (second team) earned all-conference honors while offensive lineman Jonathan Hubbard signed a free-agent contract with the Miami Dolphins. In Smiley’s first season as offensive coordinator, the “Speed Demon” offense broke or tied 20 school records, including single-season passing yards (3,530), passing touchdowns (32), and single-game passing touchdowns (6, done twice). The Demons’ explosive, up-tempo attack produced the 2018 Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Year in All-American and All-SLC wide receiver Jazz Ferguson, who set five school records, including receiving yards (1,117), touchdown catches (13), and 100-yard receiving games (6). Also breaking into the record books was Eppler, who broke six season and game records, including passing yards per game (293.2), passing efficiency (148.32), consecutive passes without an interception (143), and passing touchdowns in a game (6, twice). Smiley’s offense produced head-turning numbers that placed it in the top five nationally in the Football Championship Subdivision in passing offense, passing yards and passing touchdowns. The Demons also ranked in the top third of the FCS in total offense, turnover margin and completion percentage. Within the Southland Conference, the Demons ranked in the top four of the conference in nine different offensive categories: passing touchdowns, passing offense, passing efficiency, turnovers lost, turnover margin, 4th-down conversions, sacks allowed, and total plays. Prior to NSU, Smiley built the Trinity Valley Community College football team into one of the country’s most dominant programs while

The Smiley family (left to right): Clary (holding the family dog, Douie), Ben, Brad and Janna. steering a record-shattering offense. He was named the 2014 National Junior College Coach of the Year by American Football Monthly magazine and has three conference coach of the year honors. Smiley took over a TVCC program than won only two games in its previous season and finished winning five straight conference championships (2013-2017) and three regional championships (2013, 2014 and 2016). He also spent his final six seasons at TVCC in the role of director of athletics. In his five final seasons in Athens, TX from 2013 to 2017, Smiley’s Cardinals posted a 49-9 record and spent 64 consecutive weeks ranked in the National Junior College Athletic Association Top 20, including being ranked in the top 10 for 22 straight weeks. He is the only coach in conference history to win five straight league championships. The Cardinals held a top-10 national ranking in total offense in nine of Smiley’s 11 seasons and their prolific offense led the nation in total touchdowns and scoring offense for three straight seasons (2014-16). During his tenure at TVCC, the offense set eight NJCAA national records including: Yards Per Game (656.1 in 2015) and Yards in a Season (7,778 in 2014). In 2015, the Cardinals’ offensive numbers led all of college football regardless of level. In his final seven seasons at Trinity Valley, Smiley recruited, coached and developed more Division I (FBS and FCS) players than any other junior college in the country. Twelve of his quarterbacks signed Division I scholarships, with one reaching the NFL. Eleven of his former players have gone on to play in the NFL. Smiley holds a master’s degree in sport administration from NSU, with a bachelor’s in marketing from Baylor. His wife, the former Janna Clary, is also a Natchitoches native. His father, the late Dr. Barry Smiley, was the Dean of Business at NSU for 11 years. His mother, the late Shirley Pittman Smiley, also has strong ties to the Demons. She was an NSU nursing graduate along with eight of her sisters. His maternal grandmother, Clotile Pittman, was awarded the prestigious Nth Degree after eight of her daughters graduated from the university. Ten of her 12 daughters attended the university. From 2000 to 2006, Smiley was on the football coaching staff at Tulane University, in New Orleans, in various positions. He was the Green Wave’s recruiting coordinator for five seasons, while coaching tight ends and assisting with the offensive line. He was part of an offensive staff that produced Tulane’s career passing leader (former 1st round NFL draft pick Patrick Ramsey), top two rushers (former NFL running backs Matt Forte and Mewelde Moore), and scoring leader (Lou Groza Award-winning kicker Seth Marler). Smiley and Janna have two children, Ben (18) and Clary (16).

The longest-tenured member of the Northwestern State football coaching staff, De’Von Lockett enters his 12th season on the Demons staff, tutoring the Demons’ cornerbacks. Even in the unusual six-game spring season, Lockett’s tutelage paid dividends as junior William Hooper earned third-team All-Southland Conference honors, anchoring an NSU secondary that folded in several new faces, including All-Southland Conference safety PJ Herrington. In 2019, Lockett helped develop sophomore Shemar Bartholomew into an honorable mention HERO Sports Sophomore All-American and a third-team All-Southland Conference selection while his group led the Southland Conference in fewest passing yards allowed per game (255.9). In the 2018 season, Lockett’s cornerbacks played a pivotal role in the Purple Swarm defense ranking among the national leaders in turnovers and turnover margin in a season in which Lockett added the assistant head coach title to his resume. As a freshman, Bartholomew snared a pair of interceptions against Sam Houston State, marking the second time in three seasons a Demons defensive back produced a multi-pick game against the high-powered Bearkats. All told, NSU cornerbacks hauled in four interceptions and broke up 21 additional passes despite seeing three freshmen – Bartholomew, Hooper and Trey Williams – make their debuts throughout the season. It continued Lockett’s legacy of productive corners in Purple and White. With Lockett’s input, Ike Warren intercepted three passes in the 2016 and 2017 seasons despite fighting injuries in his sophomore season of 2016. In 2017, touted junior college transfer Rashaun Croney was limited to seven games because of injuries, but Lockett’s corners helped the Demons hold teams to almost 10 fewer yards passing per game from the season before. In 2015, Lockett turned then-freshmen Warren and D’Ronne Littleton from signees into a strong, young starting duo on the outside of the Demons’ defense. Despite losing an NFL signee (Imoan Claiborne) and a multi-year starter (Fred Thomas) on the corners, Lockett’s 2015 “Bad Boys” secondary helped the Demons allow less than one passing yard per game more than they did in 2014. Led by Claiborne and emerging playmaker Adam Jones, the Demons snared 15 interceptions in 2014 after grabbing seven the previous season. Under the tutelage of Lockett, a former standout receiver at Northwestern State, Jones made a seamless transition from linebacker to safety, resulting in Jones intercepting a team-high five passes. Claiborne, meanwhile, accounted for seven turnovers (four interceptions, three fumble recoveries) en route to earning All-American honors from the College Sporting News. Lockett earned a promotion to secondary coach in 2014 after an outstanding job developing an NFL player and Super Bowl champion, Seattle’s Jeremy Lane, and shaping a cornerback stable that measured up as well as any in the FCS ranks. In his most recent season coaching strictly cornerbacks, Lockett’s 2013 group helped the Demons’ Purple Swarm rank second in the Southland Conference in total defense. Rejoining his alma mater’s coaching staff in time for the 2010 spring practice, Lockett’s impact was apparent that fall. The corners became a strong unit in the second half of the 2010 season. In 2011, Lockett’s cornerbacks sparkled throughout the season and Lane became the sixthround pick of the Seattle Seahawks in the 2012 NFL Draft. The Demons were fourth in the rugged Southland Conference in total defense and led the league in red zone defense. Lockett was the defensive backs coach in early 2010 at Bethel University before returning to his alma mater to join the Demons staff in time

for 2010 spring practice. In the 2008 and 2009 seasons, Lockett was an assistant defensive backs coach and a quality control coach at Missouri Southern, where he also assisted with special teams. Lockett coached at Bethel in McKenzie, Tenn., from 2005-06 as a graduate assistant, coaching receivers and assisting with special teams. Five of his receivers made all-conference. He assisted with coaching receivers in the first-ever NAIA Senior All-Star Game in Platte City, Mo. From 2003-05, he coached football, basketball and track and field at his alma mater, Franklin Senior High School. He coached receivers and defensive backs, was special teams coordinator, head boys track coach and an assistant basketball coach. He returned to FSHS in 2007-08 and helped coach the track team to the 2008 state indoor and outdoor championships. His college coaching career began in spring 2003 as a student assistant at NSU. Lockett played in the National Indoor Football League in 2003-04 for the Houma Bayou Bucks after finishing as a four-year letterman for the Demons from 1999-2002, playing for three different head coaches (Sam Goodwin, Steve Roberts and Scott Stoker). In his career, Lockett had 55 catches for 881 yards and 3 touchdowns while playing on FCS playoff teams in 2001 and 2002. As a junior, with future NFL QB Craig Nall setting school passing records, he was third on the team with career-best totals of 31 catches for 463 yards, and had a key 48-yard catch along with a 9-yard TD grab in the Demons’ 27-24 win at TCU. His first collegiate catch was a 22-yarder at Central Florida as a sophomore in a hard-fought 19-7 loss. He also competed in track and field for NSU. At Franklin Senior High School, he was a first-team All-District receiver and defensive back, and a second-team Coaches All-State defensive back, making 7 interceptions and 7 pass breakups as a senior. He was also a state meet qualifier in track and field and was his team’s MVP. Lockett is the son of the late Kenneth Lockett, a legendary track and field coach, and mother Melanie Charles and has five siblings. He is married to ShaLawnda, and they have four sons — Seth, Dayson, Paxton and Titus. Lockett graduated in psychology from NSU in 2002, then earned a master’s in education from Bethel in 2007.

Kevon Beckwith returned to Louisiana in June, joining the Northwestern State staff as its defensive line coach. Most recently, Beckwith has been selected to participate in the NFL Bill Walsh Minority Fellowship working under the Cleveland Browns organization during the 2021 offseason. Beckwith spent the 2019 and 2020 seasons at Austin Peay, serving as the assistant defensive line coach with the Governors in 2019 and as the defensive line Coach in 2020. In his first season at Austin Peay, he helped the Govs reach the FCS quarterfinals for the first time in school history, win the Ohio Valley Conference for the first time since 1977 and produced a top-five nationally ranked rushing defense in 2019. Beckwith also helped defensive tackle Joe Smith earn first-team All-American status in 2019. Prior to his time at Austin Peay, during which the Govs won 15 games, Beckwith spent five seasons as at UL Lafayette. Beckwith spent the 2018 season as a quality control for Billy Napier’s staff, helping the program win the Sun Belt Western Division title. While with the Ragin’ Cajuns, Beckwith helped turn the program’s defensive line into a force that routinely produced All-Sun Belt Conference selections and NFL prospects. As a student assistant from 2014-16, Beckwith worked with three players who earned All-Sun Belt honors. In 2014, both Justin Hamilton and Christian Ringo were first-team all-conference picks after combining for 75 tackles (29.5 for loss) and 16 sacks. Ringo’s 20 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks both paced the conference. Ringo also earned Defensive Player of the Year honors on the All-Louisiana College Football team in 2014. An all-district player at Archbishop Shaw in Marrero whose career was cut short by a spinal injury, Beckwith helped lead the Ragin’ Cajun program to a New Orleans Bowl victory over Nevada in 2014. As a graduate assistant at UL Lafayette, Beckwith produced another All-Sun Belt selection in Zi’Yon Hill, who earned third-team honors after producing 44 tackles in his redshirt freshman season. Beckwith is a two-time UL Lafayette graduate, earning his bachelor of applied science degree in health/ health care administration/management in 2015 before completing his master’s degree in 2017. Beckwith is married to his wife, Megan, who like Kevon also is a New Orleans native.

Ahead of that, Fitzgerald was a recruiting specialist at Florida in the 2018 season as Dan Mullen’s Gators enjoyed a breakthrough season, going 10-3 and capping the campaign with a 41-15 thumping of No. 7 Michigan in the Peach Bowl. A Fort Lauderdale, Florida, native who played quarterback at Hampden-Sydney College, Fitzgerald is familiar with the Southland Conference, having coached wide receivers at Southeastern Louisiana in 2017. That season, Fitzgerald was part of an SLU offensive staff that helped the Lions rank third in the Southland in scoring (34.8 ppg) and total offense (428.1 yards per game). Additionally, Fitzgerald tutored All-American Juwan Petit-Frere, who led the nation in kick return average (34.6 yards per return) and added a pair of kick return touchdowns. Fitzgerald handled a variety of responsibilities at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise in 2016, serving as wide receivers coach, passing game coordinator and special teams coordinator for a team that produced its first winning record (6-5) in eight years. Fitzgerald helped kicker Trent Martin earn first-team All-Mountain East Conference honors after hitting 13 of 17 field goals. Fitzgerald’s first full-time coaching position came at Eastern Kentucky in 2015, coaching tight ends. His touch was evident early as Ben Maddon earned first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors, leading the league in catches by a tight end with 34 for 456 yards and three touchdowns. Overall, the Colonels’ offense ranked fourth in the OVC in scoring (30.3 ppg) and total offense (388 ypg). Fitzgerald spent two seasons on the Mississippi State staff under Mullen while earning his master of arts degree in teaching in 2014. The Bulldogs reached No. 1 for five weeks in the 2014 season and finished with a school-record 10 wins and 22 school records, ending the season with an appearance in the Orange Bowl. In Fitzgerald’s first season at Mississippi State, the Bulldoges reached the 2013 Liberty Bowl. Fitzgerald began his coaching career as an intern before becoming a graduate assistant working with lienbackers and defensive backs at Florida Atlantic. He earned a master of education degree from FAU in 2012. Fitzgerald completed his undergraduate degree in psychology from Hampden-Sydney in 2009. He and his wife, Lori, have a son, Jaxon.

Rashad Jackson is in his first season on the Northwestern State coaching staff, taking over as the wide receivers coach in June. A veteran college coach, Jackson burnished his resume this spring, tutoring wide receivers and tight ends and coordinating special teams for the Alphas in The Spring League, a training ground for NFL hopefuls. Jackson spent the past two seasons at Arkansas State, coaching tight ends, including Javonis Isaac, who is in his first season at NSU. During his Red Wolves tenure, Jackson helped Arkansas State rank 10th nationally in passing offense (312.1 ypg), 14th in passing efficiency (157.55), 26th in scoring offense (33.7 ppg) and 33rd in both total offense (439.3 ypg) and red zone scoring percentage (88.9). The Red Wolves offense produced 5,711 yards total offense, sixth-most in school single-season history, while its 6.2 yards per play mark was second-best in school lore. Isaac and Reed Tyler combined for 12 catches and 171 yards, including a touchdown in 2019. Jackson spent the 2018 season as Trinity Valley Community College’s run game coordinator, helping maintain the Cardinal legacy of high-powered offenses, averaging 410 yards per game, which ranked 12th nationally. He also was TVCC’s co-special teams coordinator and coached running backs and tight ends. Jackson’s single season at Trinity Valley came after nine seasons at East Central University in Oklahoma. Jackson capped his versatile ECU career as the team’s offensive coordinator in 2017. During his ECU career, Jackson coached quarterbacks (2009-11), wide receivers (2012-17) and tight ends (2017). In that time, he helped produce 30 All-Great American Conference performers, five All-Lone Star Conference honorees and a pair of Division II All-Americans. Four of Jackson’s student-athletes either became NFL draftees or undrafted free-agent signings. Five of Jackson’s players – quarterbacks Tyler Vanderzee, Rocky Moore and Spencer Bond and wide receivers Caleb Holley and David Moore – set school records at East Central. Prior to East Central, Jackson spent the 2008 season as the director of player development at Kansas State after coaching three seasons at Reedley (Calif.) College from 2005-07. Jackson coached running backs and tight ends at Reedley in 2005 and wide receivers in 2006-07. Reedley captured the 2005 Valley Conference championship and reached the Hawaiian Punch Bowl and the 2006 State Center Bowl. Jackson, who has been an NFL summer coaching intern with Seattle (2016), Detroit (2015) and Denver (2013), began his coaching career at East Central University, coaching tight ends and tackles from 2002-05. An all-conference tight end at East Central, Jackson played one season at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, earning his associate’s degree, before playing three seasons as a tight end and deep snapper at East Central where he earned both and undergraduate degree (exercise science, 2002) and a master’s degree (sports administration, 2004).

Josh Jones is in his first season on the Northwestern State staff, coaching safeties. Jones comes to Natchitoches after a one-season stint at Arkansas-Pine Bluff where he quickly made his mark as the defensive passing game coordinator and defensive backs coach. Under Jones’ tutelage, Jalon Thigpen led the Southwestern Athletic Conference in passes defensed, earning first-team All-SWAC honors. Thigpen’s development followed a trend that has typified Jones’ career. In three seasons coaching cornerbacks at South Alabama (2018-20), Jones helped Darian Mills earn AllSun Belt Conference in honors after ranking second in the conference in pass breakups. A year later, Travis Reed was an All-Sun Belt honoree after breaking up 10 passes and intercepting three others. The play of Jones’ cornerbacks helped the Jaguars post a top-50 performance nationally in passing defense. Jones followed head coach Steve Campbell to South Alabama after spending two seasons with Campbell at Central Arkansas. While on UCA’s staff, Jones helped the Bears produced a 20-5 overall record and a 17-1 conference mark, capturing the 2017 Southland Conference title. In each of his two seasons with the Bears, Jones produced an All-American as Tyler Williams garnered the honor in 2016 and Tremon Smith did so in 2017. Smith was a two-time, first-team All-Southland Conference selection and is entering his fourth season in the NFL. Williams was a first-team All-SLC pick in 2016 before signing with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent. Jones spent the 2015 season coaching cornerbacks at Henderson State, molding a defense that led all divisions of the NCAA with 29 interceptions. Tavares Garner earned first-team All-Great American Conference notoriety as the Reddies went 11-2 and reached the D-II playoffs. Before joining the Henderson State staff, Jones was a graduate assistant at Troy, Missouri Western State and Arkansas Tech. As a player, Jones was an All-American at both Minnesota State-Moorhead and Harding University. While at Harding, he was invited to play in the Cactus Bowl (D-II Senior All-Star Game) and was the Little Rock Touchdown Club Player of the Year. At Minnesota State-Moorhead, Jones broke the school record for interceptions with 10 as a sophomore, tying him for second nationally. He also holds MSU-Moorhead’s school record for longest punt return touchdown at 94 yards. A 2013 professional studies graduate of Arkansas Tech, Jones played one season with the Utah Blaze of the Arena Football League and one with the Green Bay Blizzard of the Indoor Football League, helping the Blizzard reach the conference championship game.

J Pond’s familiarity with offensive coordinator Brad Smiley’s system has paid dividends in Pond’s first three seasons as Northwestern State’s offensive line coach. Pond’s offensive line showed its versatility in the spring 2021 season, helping pave the way for running back Scooter Adams to finish second nationally in yards per carry (8.0) and leading the charge in a school-record 707-yard total offense performance at Incarnate Word in the season finale. Anchored by All-Southland Conference selections Khalil Corbett-Canada and Jakob Sell, the Demon front stood tall in front of quarterback Bryce Rivers, allowing him to become the first NSU quarterback to turn in multiple 400-yard passing games. In 2019, Pond’s offensive line produced a second-team all-conference selection in guard Chris Zirkle and saw tackle Jonathan Hubbard sign a free agent contract with the Miami Dolphins. Additionally, center Dustin Burns signed to play level-one arena football. The trio was part of an offensive line that Pond molded into a unit that allowed the second-fewest sacks in the Southland Conference, helping quarterback Shelton Eppler rewrite the Demon passing record book in just two seasons. Pond’s first NSU offensive line helped set the tone for the Demons’ record-breaking offense, a unit that broke or tied 20 school records in the 2018 season. Pond spent eight seasons from 2009-16 working

2021 NORTHWESTERN STATE FOOTBALL

alongside head coach Smiley as his offensive line coach at Trinity Valley Community College where the pair built some of the most explosive offenses in the junior-college ranks, winning multiple conference and NJCAA titles. Prior to arriving in Demonland, Pond spent the 2017 season at Texas High School in Texarkana, Texas. As Trinity Valley’s offensive line coach and run game coordinator, Pond was part of an offensive staff that coordinated the nation’s highest-scoring team three straight seasons (2014-16). Along the way, the Cardinals established six team records and two national records – yards per game (656.1 in 2015) and season yardage (7,778 in 2014). In six of his seven seasons at Trinity Valley, the Cardinals finished in the top 10 nationally in total offense. His rushing attacks also stood in the top five nationally in several categories during his tenure. Pond coached three All-American offensive linemen at TVCC and had 19 all-conference selections on his watch. A letterman at Texas A&M, Pond helped lead the Fightin’ Texas Aggies to a pair of bowl appearances – the 2004 Cotton Bowl and the 2006 Holiday Bowl. After his playing career, Pond was an assistant to the late Jim Bob Helduser, the Aggies’ offensive line coach and run game coordinator. Pond is a graduate of Texas A&M, earning his bachelor’s degree in sports management in 2007 and a master’s degree in physical education in 2009.

The members of the Southland Conference are Houston Baptist University, the University of the Incarnate Word, McNeese State University, University of New Orleans, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Southeastern Louisiana University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses over 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 900,000. Southland cities encompass approximately 14 million people, and its geography covers many of the nation’s top 100 television markets, including Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, New Orleans, Shreveport and Baton Rouge. Southland institutions are annually positioned among the nation’s best public and private universities, exemplified by superb undergraduate and graduate education rankings, and featuring unique and accomplished curriculums at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels. Member universities are frequently acknowledged for their superior standing in areas such as college buy value and return on investment, student engagement, bestin-region status, favorable student-to-faculty ratios, service learning, mili-

tary-friendly designations, honors programs, online learning, faith-based learning, and access to higher education for all income levels. Numerous Southland alumni have earned acclaim as business, medical, education and government leaders and innovators, iconic entertainers such as filmmakers, musicians and television/film actors, and athletes that starred at the professional and Olympic levels to earn hall of fame distinction. Athletically, the Southland Conference sponsors championship play in 18 NCAA Division I sports at the NCAA Division I level. Women’s sports include basketball, beach volleyball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. Men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. Since 2015, the Conference has also administered the Southland Bowling League, an affiliated women’s sport that has produced NCAA national champions in three of the last four years. The Conference boasts automatic qualification in all NCAA team sports, and league members have taken advantage of this access with recent wins in NCAA baseball, softball, football, and basketball championships. Additionally, Southland teams have won numerous contests in other national postseason events. The Southland has also taken a lead role in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision by serving as the host conference for the annual DI national championship game in the league office’s base of Frisco, Texas, since 2011. Working with its partners, the City of Frisco and Hunt Sports Ventures, the Southland’s hosting role has been reaffirmed three times since the initial game, that will remain at Frisco’s Toyota Stadium at least through the 2025 game. The league also has a tradition of innovation and creativity with its work in television, corporate sponsorships, officiating services and the use of technology in its efforts to support its membership and the well-being of student-athletes.

NATCHITOCHES – Trailing by two scores in the fourth quarter, Northwestern State's offense kicked into gear and pieced together its most impressive drive Saturday to put No. 7 Nicholls on the ropes with 5:40 remaining. But a Demons' defense that dug in its heels for most of Saturday against a high-powered Nicholls offense couldn't produce another turnover or stop. The Colonels (3-0, 1-0 Southland Conference) ate up the rest of the clock, and NSU (0-1, 0-1 SLC) fell just short of an in-state upset in a 31-24 loss in the Demons' first action in 471 days. "I couldn't be more proud of this group, and we've talked about 471 days to come out here and play for 60 minutes," said NSU head coach Brad Laird. "We're disappointed in the scoreboard, but we showed what we're about in the way they fought and competed. "We got down 21-7 and were able to battle back and give ourselves a chance to win." Quarterbacks Kaleb Fletcher and Zach Clement split drives Saturday, but it was Fletcher who led the drive that cut the Colonels' edge to one score in the fourth quarter. Fletcher picked up a fourth down with his legs on a 17-yard scramble before finding senior receiver Gavin Landry for a 13-yard touchdown with 5:40 left. The junior finished with 49 passing yards on 8-of-17 and another 19 yards on the ground. Clement, a redshirt freshman playing in his first two career games, finished with 18 yards passing on 5-of-13. Junior running back Scooter Adams gained 19 yards with a Nicholls penalty tacked on to jumpstart the drive. "In that moment, knowing we had to score in the fourth quarter, it's good to see our guys convert there," Laird said. "We put ourselves in a position to win, and we made plays on that possession to get in that position.

HAMMOND – After a clawing out of a hole in a one-score loss against No. 7 Nicholls in the season opener, Northwestern State found itself in the opposite role at No. 18 Southeastern on Saturday. The Demons led most of the game and didn't trail for all but two seconds. But those were the final two seconds as the Lions blocked their third field goal of the game and turned it into a game-winning field goal of their own in a heart-breaking 27-24 NSU loss to the Lions (2-1, 2-1 SLC). The Demons (0-2, 0-2 Southland Conference) marched themselves into field goal position when quarterback Kaleb Fletcher connected with Scooter Adams on 38-yard strike. NSU lined up for a 43-yard field goal with 39 seconds remaining, which was blocked by Ferlando Jordan, his second blocked field goal of the night. The Lions returned the block to the 47-yard line, and quarterback Cole Kelley completed passes of 18 and 26 yards to set up the game-winner by Mateo Rengifo. "When you look at the scoreboard, it's not what you want when you put the ball on the tee," said Laird, whose Demons have lost by a combined 10 points to ranked teams to start the spring. "We did look at improvement from Week 1 to Week 2, and we saw that in all three phases. "It's disappointing for the guys for as hard as they worked this week to get into the position we were at end of game – it's tough. But the message to the team is that every Saturday we have an opportunity, and for 471 days, that opportunity was taken away from us. As we approach each Saturday, we don't want to take it for granted. We'll continue to learn as coaches and players to move forward and get ready for McNeese next Saturday." After an SLU score early in the third quarter tied the game at 14-14, NSU tallied the next 10 points and seemed to retake control of the game.

NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State flashed its aerial attack as the Demons offense moved up and down the field in the first half, but missed scoring opportunities and a strong McNeese second half factored into a 21-7 loss Saturday. After being a predominantly running team the first two games, NSU (0-3, 0-3 Southland Conference) took to the air in the first half with a season-high 237 passing yards. Quarterback Kaleb Fletcher completed his first 11 passes, two short of an NSU record to start a game, and finished with 171 yards on 13-of-18 passing against McNeese (2-3, 1-3 SLC). His one touchdown was a 13-yarder to Kendrick Price capped a 91-yard drive as NSU got on the scoreboard first with 4:42 left in the first quarter. "I think early on, it's what happened," said NSU coach Brad Laird. "But we had missed opportunities, starting with the first drive with the missed field goal. "When you continue to get those opportunities, you have to take advantage of them. I thought what we did early especially with the quarterbacks and receivers to get going, it showed their improvement from the first two games. You saw Kaleb and the receivers with confidence, and we've seen flashes of that, but we saw it back to back to back in the first half." Fletcher connected on five passes of double-digit yards on that drive, including a 26-yard strike to Levar Gumms and a 20-yard completion to Javon Antonio. Antonio logged NSU's first 100-yard receiving game of the season, catching six passes for 103 yards. "The passing game opened up because of the success we've had running the ball," Antonio said. "The coaches said the passing game would open up, and it did. "We'll look at the film and see what we need to execute. We'll keep fighting as a team, and we'll get the (W)."

BEAUMONT, Texas – Northwestern State produced its first 200-yard rusher in five years, but the Demons couldn’t climb all the way out of an early hole in a 31-23 loss to Lamar. Scooter Adams rushed for 161 of his 212 yards in the first half, but Lamar (2-3, 2-3 Southland Conference) intercepted three passes and scored the first 28 points. Trailing 31-7 in the fourth quarter, NSU (0-4, 0-4 SLC) mounted a late rally with two touchdowns, the final one with 1:18 remaining, to put the result in doubt trailing by eight points. “First of all, we’re disappointed with the way we came out,” said NSU coach Brad Laird. “As we approach these opportunities we get, little things caught up with us in all three phases. “When you get behind the eight ball like we did, especially early on, I love the fight in our young men, and they’ll continue to do that, but we need to fight to get that W.” After Lamar’s Bailey Giffen missed a field goal which would have salted away the win with 1:55 left, NSU quarterback Bryce Rivers led an 80-yard march that ended with a nine-yard touchdown to Javon Antonio. Rivers led the Demons with 136 passing yards on 7-of-19 passing, adding two two-point conversions to Antonio on fade routes. A 45-yard connection to Marquise Bridges set up NSU’s final score. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Demons put themselves within striking distance with an Adams’ 25-yard touchdown run at the 12:19 mark. NSU took advantage of a Lamar fumbled punt snap that generated energy in the final period. But the Cardinals offense, which rushed for 212 yards, consumed large chunks of the fourth quarter to reduce NSU’s comeback chances.

NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State's defense dug in its heels to hold No. 5 Sam Houston to more than 30 points below its season average Thursday and quarterback Bryce Rivers became just the second Demon to throw for 400 yards. But NSU couldn't cash in enough opportunities as the Demons fell to the Bearkats, 24-16, in the home finale. The Demons (0-5, 0-5 Southland Conference) hadn't lost a fumble all season, but NSU lost three fumbles that derailed drives. NSU entered SHSU (4-0, 4-0 SLC) territory 10 times not including a trip to their own 49, but the Demons converted those 11 drives into just 16 points. "The scoreboard wasn't on our side at the end, but I told them after the game that I've never been more proud of a bunch as I was tonight," said NSU coach Brad Laird, whose Demons played on four days of preparation compared to SHSU's 12 days of preparation. "The situation we were in on a short week playing the No. 5 team in the nation, to watch our guys respond and how they prepared throughout the week. "We had the opening turnover (fumble), and they scored early. But we made each play count, not only today but all week to get this point." In his first NSU start, Rivers threw for 410 yards on 29-of-51 passing with two touchdowns. It's the first game this spring in which just one NSU quarterback took snaps. The junior kept NSU's hopes alive late with a 7-yard touchdown strike to Javon Antonio with 21 seconds remaining, creating an onside kick opportunity down by one score for the second straight week. But the Bearkats jumped on Eddie Godina's kick and kneeled out the clock. Rivers's 410 yards ranks second behind 474 yards from Shelton Eppler in 2018.

SAN ANTONIO – All the pent up emotion, disappointment, and heartbreak from an 0-5 start released as kicker Eddie Godina connected on a game-winning 32-yard field goal as time expired to lift Northwestern State to a 49-47 win against No. 14/19 UIW. Demon players rushed the field to surround their kicker as coaches and players wrapped their arms around each other. The celebration ended with NSU coach Brad Laird getting an ice bath before players lifted their leader onto their shoulders, ending the six-game spring season as victors. "It's unbelievable for these young men and coaches about how we've gotten here," said Laird, who recorded his fourth win against a ranked team and first since winning at UIW in 2019, a 44-41 overtime win. "We knew that we had not put together a complete game and made plays in all three phases, but for our guys to continue to fight back and find a way to makes is great. "I said last week that I don't know if I've ever been as proud of a group as I am of this one, but you can't top it off better than we did tonight." After four one-score losses this season, NSU (1-5, 1-5 Southland Conference) needed to respond to late-game magic from UIW. The Demons appeared to be in control when quarterback Bryce Rivers led a 76-yard drive ending in a 10-yard Scooter Adams touchdown run, his third score of the night. NSU grabbed a 46-40 lead with 1:28 left before UIW blocked an extra point, the eighth blocked kick/punt this season. But the Cardinals (3-2, 3-2 SLC) answered with their playoff lives on the line, marching 48 yards in just 22 seconds resulting in a Cameron Ward 34-yard touchdown pass to Darion Chafin. Kicker Carson Mohr made his extra point to give UIW a 47-46 lead.

The Demons’ permanent team captains each year are elected by their peers. At the annual football awards dinner, they are announced and receive an award named for the heroic Joe Delaney, the 1981 AFC Rookie of the Year who died in a 1983 attempt to rescue three drowning children. One survived. June 29 marked the 34th anniversary of Delaney’s noble, unselfish effort. His teammates, and anyone who knew Joe Delaney, were not surprised about what he did. It was who he was, and it personifies why we will always treasure his memory.

Northwestern State

TURPIN

Stadium

H O M E O F T H E N O R T H W E S T E R N S TAT E D E M O N S

Northwestern State is now in its fifth decade of playing home games in Turpin Stadium, named for Harry Turpin, the second all-time winningest coach in Demon football history. Turpin, a four sport letterman at what was then Louisiana Normal in the mid-1920s, collected 98 victories during his 22 years as the Demons head coach. The stadium was renamed in his honor prior to the 1977 season. Featuring an artificial playing surface, the 15,971-seat capacity stadium is the focal point of the NSU athletic complex, which also includes the NSU Fieldhouse. The two deck west side of the stadium features a glassed-in area between decks which is reserved for members of the Demons Unlimited Foundation and other dignitaries. Also located on the west side are 5,000 comfortable chair back seats and a double-decked press box, complete with working press area, radio booths, and camera decks. NSU students and the Spirit of Northwestern Marching Band sit on the east side of the field. Completing the complex is the NSU Fieldhouse, which opened in 1979. The Fieldhouse is home to administrative and coaching offices, dressing rooms, training rooms with up to date facilities, weight room, lounges, meeting areas, and film rooms. Other features include the plush Demon dressing room, equipment room, and laundry area with ample storage space.

Demon Football traditions Demons in the NFL Draft There have been 36 Northwestern State players chosen in the NFL Draft, including 10 in the last 14 seasons. Three Demons have gone in the top five rounds since 2002 (Craig Nall, 2002, 5th round, Packers; Terrence McGee, 2003, 4th round, Bills; David Pittman, 2006, 3rd round, Ravens). NSU’s highest pick: RB John Stephens, 1988, 17th overall. The Demons’ first-ever draft pick: OG Walter Ledet, Eagles, 2nd round, 1939; The busiest round for NSU players: 2nd, with 7 Demons selected. The busiest year: 1999, when 3 Demons were picked (cornerbacks Kenny Wright and Jermaine Jones, defensive end Robert Daniel). Defensive tackle Deon Simon was the latest Demon taken in the draft - selected in the 7th round by the New York Jets in 2015.

John Stephens

Rookies of the Year Two Demon greats have won pro Rookie of the Year awards. Tailback Joe Delaney was the 1981 AFC Rookie of the Year when he earned a trip to the Pro Bowl and was named Chiefs MVP after establishing a then-franchise record with 1,121 rushing yards, leading Kansas City to its first winning season since 1973. Seven years later, after breaking Delaney’s Demon career rushing record, tailback John Stephens won the Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honor after running for 1,168 yards for New England.

Demons with NFL Longevity Among the dozens of former Demons to play pro ball, there are an elite group whose careers stretched for many years. Topping the list is Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Jackie Smith, who played 16 years (1963-78). Pro Bowl quarterback Bobby Hebert played in the NFL from 1985-96 (11 seasons) after three years starring in the USFL, getting a total of 14 pro seasons. All-Pro receiver Mark Duper spent 11 seasons in the NFL (1982-1992), as did offensive lineman Marcus Spears (1995-2005). Receiver Floyd Turner got in 10 seasons (1989-1998) as did safety Mike Green (2000-2009). Linebacker Gary Reasons played 9 years (1984-1992), as did cornerback Randy Hilliard (1990-1998). Receiver Al Dodd (1967-74) had 8 NFL seasons, a long with offensive guard Petey Perot (1979-85), cornerback Kenny Wright (1999-2008). All-time AFL greats Charlie Hennigan and Charlie Tolar starred for the Houston Oilers for 7 years (1960-66), and Terrence McGee played 10 years (2003-12).

Joe Delaney

Marcus Spears

The Cajun Cannon, Bobby Hebert He came to Northwestern in 1978 as a T-formation quarterback with a difficult-to-understand, thick Cajun accent. At the end of his redshirt sophomore year, Bobby Hebert was an honorable mention All-America. Injuries slowed him in his final two seasons, but he went from NSU to the fledgling USFL and became an instant star, winning the championship game MVP award for the Michigan Panthers. That launched an incredible 14-year pro career highlighted by eight seasons when he led the New Orleans Saints to their greatest success. Hebert was 49-26 (.653) as the Saints starting QB, leading the club to its only division title and its best ever record. Today, he co-hosts the Big 870, WWL AM weeknights Sports Talk show in New Orleans and keeps close watch on his alma mater. Bobby Hebert

NFL Focused on NSU in the 1999 Draft The 1998 Demons had three players (Kenny Wright, Jermaine Jones, Robert Daniel) chosen in the 1999 NFL Draft – more than were chosen from six of the Associated Press Top 25 major college teams, and as many or more than 12 of the AP Top 25, such as Penn State and UCLA. NSU led all Division FCS programs and Louisiana institutions with three selections. No other college in the country, at any level, had both starting cornerbacks selected. Legends of the AFL, Hennigan and Tolar When the American Football League was created in 1960, former Demon track star and football player Charlie Hennigan was teaching biology and coaching at Jonesboro-Hodge High School, having been cut by the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos. Demon All-America fullback Charlie Tolar was drafted by Pittsburgh, but cut in 1959. They were among 160 hopefuls who participated in an AFL tryout camp for the Houston franchise, and both beat the odds to make the team. Each became instant All-AFL stars who made the Oilers’ All-Time Team in the mid-1990s, voted by fans. Hennigan set pro records with 1,746 receiving yards in 1961 and 101 catches in 1964, marks that remained for 20-plus years. The 1,746 receiving yards still is third all-time, topped only by Jerry Rice and Isaac Bruce. Hennigan holds NFL records for consecutive 100-yard receiving games (7) and most 200-yard receiving games (3) in a season, and ranks second all-time with 10 100-yard receiving games in a season and four 200-yard career games. Tolar’s 5-6, 220-pound frame earned him nicknames like “Tank” and “The Human Bowling Ball” and his bullish style made him a hero to future NFL star Larry Csonka while earning him a pair of All-AFL honors. His colorful lifestyle earned him a line in a Willie Nelson song: “Men like Charlie Tolar, when they made him, they broke the mold.” Charlie Hennigan

Demon football Big Red, Jackie Smith For a track standout whose hurdling skills made him most attractive to the Demons coming out of Kentwood High School, Jackie Smith made the most of his opportunity at NSU from 1959-62. His stats in football were modest in the run-based offenses of the early 1960s, but his size and speed interested pro scouts. Few 10th-round draft picks have worked out so spectacularly. Smith’s rugged style, combined with his speed and athleticism, redefined the positon of tight end in the NFL in the late 1960s. He made five straight Pro Bowl appearances for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1966-70 and retired after the 1978 season as the NFL’s all-time leading tight end with 480 career catches for 7,918 yards. He played in 121 consecutive games. In 1994, Kentwood came to Canton. “Big Red” was inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Last But Not Least, Mr. Irrelevant Among the 34 Demons chosen in the NFL Draft, two hold a special distinction – they were the last players chosen in that year’s draft. Receiver Mike Almond was the 330th and last selection in 1979, going to the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Safety Mike Green went as the 248th choice in the 2000 draft, to Chicago. They were each the guests of honor for the “Irrelevant Week” celebration in Newport Beach, Calif., in June, making NSU the only program to have two “Mr. Irrelevants” Jackie Smth in the history of the festivities. Almond made it to the last cut but the Steelers had receivers Lynn Swann and John Stallworth, both in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Green not only made the Bears’ roster, he was their second-leading tackler over his last six seasons and he was traded to NFC champion Seattle, where he played for two more years. Rookie Star, Veteran Style Along with winning the 1988 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award, former NSU tailback John Stephens was awarded the first Gale Sayers Humanitarian Citation in 1988. Stephens was the choice of a committee headed by Sayers, the Hall of Fame running back who starred for the Chicago Bears. The award is given to the National Football League rookie demonstrating the most outstanding commitment of time and effort toward a personally designated charitable organization, which in Stephens’ case was the Roxbury (Mass.) Comprehensive Community Health Center.

The Turtle, All-Pro Terrence McGee The Turtle came out of his shell in a big way. Cornerback Terrence McGee earned the nickname “Turtle” because of the way he wore his shoulder pads around his head until the last possible moment before preseason practices, to keep his head in the shade. McGee became a starter as a true freshman, and became a star a year later. He ran three punts back for touchdowns, broke the NCAA single-season record for punt return yardage and today stands as the Division I-AA all-time record holder for best career punt return average (17.6, 1999-2002). In his second pro season, 2004, he made the Pro Bowl as a return specialist and emerged as one of the NFL’s better cover cornerbacks for Buffalo, in a 10-year NFL career. Demons on the SI Cover For musicians, it’s the cover of the Rolling Stone. For athletes, being a Sports Illustrated cover boy is the ultimate. Three Demon greats have been there. All-Pro Mark Duper was the subject for the Nov. 19, 1984 issue showcasing Terrence McGee the unbeaten Miami Dolphins, In the Oct. 7, 1991 edition, Saints quarterback Bobby Hebert was on the cover illustrating the “Saints Alive” story saluting their best start ever. Prior to his second straight Super Bowl appearance, cornerback Jeremy Lane was part of the Seattle defensive backfield nicknamed the “Legion of Boom” that graced the Feb. 2, 2015, cover. NSU products Jackie Smith, Joe Delaney and Hebert have been profiled inside the magazine, and in 2005, Marcus Spears provided the “Best Joke I Can Tell in Public” for SI readers. Track and Football, a Demon Tradition Dating to the 1930s, football and track have been intertwined at Northwestern. The Demons’ first football All-American, Walter Ledet, was a track stalwart who became one of the great track coaches in state history, earning him a place in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. His powerhouse track programs attracted future pro greats Charlie Hennigan and Jackie Smith to Northwestern. Since then, many outstanding Demon football players have been two-sport stars, including track All-Americans and future pro players Joe Delaney, Mark Duper, Victor Oatis, Al Edwards and Ronnie Powell. Duper had never played football until Delaney and Oatis teased and prodded him into giving it a try for his junior season, 1980. Two years later, Duper was a second-round NFL Draft pick on the way to three Pro Bowls. In 1981, Delaney, Oatis, and Duper ran on the NCAA Division I champion 4x100 meter relay team. NSU remains the only FCS program ever to win an NCAA relay championship men or women indoors or outdoors.

Demon football traditions All-Americans In 116 seasons of intercollegiate football, 44 Northwestern players have earned first or second-team All-America honors. Offensive guard Walter “Cajun” Ledet, later a highly-successful Demon track and field coach and assistant football coach, was the school’s first All-American in 1938. Only nine players — safety Al Dodd in 1965-66, tailback Joe Delaney in 1979-80, linebacker Gary Reasons in 1981-83, offensive tackle Marcus Spears in 1992-93, center William Broussard in 1998-99, safety Mike Green also in 1998-99, linebacker Jamall Johnson in 2003-04, defensive tackle Tory Collins in 2005-06, and linebacker Derek Rose 2010 and 2011 — won All-America honors in more than one season. Reasons became the first three-time All-American in Division I-AA history. In 1993, Marcus Spears became only the second I-AA player ever (along with Jerry Rice) to make the Football Writers Association of America All-America team. William Broussard and Mike Green, members of the memorable 1998 team which advanced to the national semi-finals for the first time in the program’s history, are the only two teammates at Northwestern to earn All-America status in consecutive seasons.

The Delaney Memorial The Demons’ spring practice ends each year with the Delaney Bowl, honoring the memory of heroic two-sport All-American Joe Delaney. It’s one of several ways NSU honors his memory. There is a display underneath the west side of Turpin Stadium. His No. 44 jersey was retired at halftime of his final game as a Demon. The players elected as permanent team captains by their teammates receive the Joe Delaney Memorial Leadership Awards. Displays in the football offices on the Big John Evans Walk of Honor list those captains and showcase Delaney’s achievements and impact. Each spring since 2012, the Delaney Distinguished Supporter Award is presented to an individual whose involvement with NSU athletics is dynamic.

Chief Caddo At 7 feet, 6-inches tall and 320 pounds, Chief Caddo is the biggest trophy in college football. The wooden Indian statue is awarded to the winner of each year’s Northwestern vs. Stephen F. Austin game. The stately Chief is symbolic of the kinship between the cities of Natchitoches and Nacogdoches, home of SFA. He was named “Chief Caddo” to honor the Indian tribe that not only first settled the two communities, but provided safety for the early white settlers in the area. The statue originated in 1960, when Northwestern and SFA decided the loser of their 1961 game would have a tree chopped down from its nearby forest to be sent to the winning school, who would have a statue carved. The Demons won that 1961 matchup 35-19 and SFA delivered a 2,000-pound black gum log to Northwestern. Harold Green of Logansport spent over 230 hours carving the statue. Since the Demons and Lumberjacks have been playing for Chief Caddo, Northwestern holds a 31-20-1 advantage in the series. In the 55 years of the Chief’s life, he’s spent 37 in Natchitoches. The two teams did not play each other from 1965-68 and in 1973. To those who know the Chief best, that comes as no surprise. Even an SFA coach admitted a few years ago that the Chief seemed to like Natchitoches, blaming it on meat pies and Cajun cooking. But veteran Northwestern followers know his allegiance goes even deeper. After all, if you were a wooden statue, would you want to spend time around a bunch of Lumberjacks?

The George Doherty Wing The Demon football offices, as well as the offices for the track and baseball coaching staffs, are located on the second floor of the NSU Fieldhouse. On June 8, 1991, the area was named “The George Doherty Wing” in memory of the former Demon head coach and athletic director, who spearheaded planning of the ultramodern facility.

Demon dressing room etiquette Whatever you do, when visiting the Demon locker room, watch where you walk. Don’t dare step on the white Demon head in the center of the room on the plush purple carpet. If you do, you risk the rath of the entire senior class.

Fight song When Jeff Matthews’ Spirit of Northwestern Marching Band plays it, the music is called “Trio to British Eighth March” but the lyrics lend a distinct Demon flair: Go, ye Demons, take the field Northwestern Demons never yield So fight Demons, win tonight Victory is on our side Purple and White shall ever reign Filling the air with battle strain So Demons forever stand And fight for dear old Demon land!

How we became the Demons In 1923, when Northwestern was known as Louisiana Normal College, President V.L. Roy and Coach H. Lee Prather held a contest, open to students, to choose a nickname for Normal’s athletic teams. A $10 prize, donated by the athletic department, Flaming N logo was on the line. Names suggested included The distinctive Northwestern State athletic logo was dethe Gridiron Knights, signed in 1983 at new football coach Sam Goodwin’s request, Daredevils, Boosters, in a collaboration between former kicker Dale Quickel, former Sharks, Cannons, Deers, defensive back J.P. Dunbar and former Miss Northwestern Muskateers, Invicibles, Cheryl Purcell, an art teacher. The outline of Louisiana was Ground Hogs, Royalists, added in 1999 at the suggestion of Demon baseball coach John Cohen. Cyclops, Bloodhounds, Professors, Cannon Balls, Conference champions Wasps, and Rattlesnakes. Since World War II, the Demons have won or shared 11 conference titles. Northwestern A committee tabbed two: won Gulf States Conference crowns outright in 1953, 1962 and 1966 and shared the title in Braves and Demons. After a 1957-58. The Demons won the Gulf South crown in 1972, then shared the Gulf Star Confer- vote of the students, Aileen ence championship in 1984. Northwestern won the Southland Conference title in 1988 with Ritter and Truett Scarborough a 20-17 victory at No. 1-ranked Stephen F. Austin in the final game of the regular season. In split the $10 because each had 1997, the Demons shared the title with McNeese State.

Demon football Stadium namesakes At least four Demon coaches have stadiums named after them. NSU’s Turpin Stadium for football honors 22-year head coach Harry “Rags” Turpin. NSU’s Ledet Track Complex pays tribute to head track and assistant football coach Walter Ledet. NSU’s Brown-Stroud Field baseball stadium pays tribute, in part, to longtime assistant football and head baseball coach Alvin “Cracker” Brown. Louisiana Tech’s Aillet Stadium honors longtime head coach Joe Aillet, who grew up in Natchitoches, played for the Demons and was an assistant coach on the 1939 undefeated team before being hired as head coach of the rival Bulldogs. Brown replaced him on Turpin’s staff, which also included Ledet.

Retired jerseys Hundreds of players have worn the Purple and White in the nine decades of Northwestern football, but only five have had their jersey numbers permanently retired. Al Dodd (41), an All-American on the unbeaten 1966 team, was the first to receive this honor. Joe Delaney’s No. 44 was retired at halftime of his final game in 1981. Gary Reasons’ No. 34 was set aside after his career ended in 1983. Jackie Smith’s No. 80 was retired at homecoming 1994. In 1997, the familiar No. 12 jersey worn by Bobby Hebert was retired during halftime ceremonies of homecoming. The State Fair Classic Gone, but not forgotten. For 40 years, old rivals Northwestern and Louisiana Tech played in Shreveport during the first weekend of the Louisiana State Fair. After the game, players and fans from both teams often made their way down the midway, enjoying the rides and carnival games. The series ended when Louisiana Tech withdrew after the 1987 meeting, halting what at the time was the South’s oldest active Division I-AA rivalry. The teams played for “The Rag,” a banner displaying names and colors of both schools which hung in the Student Union of the winning team for the next year. Trident Test Each spring and before fall practice, the Demon players go through a series of strength, speed and conditioning tests. Since three aspects of athleticism are being tested, they were named “Trident Tests” by the coaching staff. Each player is awarded an overall grade based on his combined ranking among all team members in every test. The winner receives the Kirt Straughter Memorial Award, named in honor of the 1989 Trident Test winner who drowned that year.

Spirit of Northwestern Marching Band Nearly 300 strong, the dynamic Northwestern band has never lost a halftime show under the direction of director Bill Brent. The band’s enthusiasm was a major factor, said Coach Sam Goodwin, as Northwestern’s “Road Warriors” won key SLC games at North Texas and Stephen F. Austin to capture the 1988 SLC title. At home games, it’s a treat to watch Brent’s game day rehearsals, now led by Brent’s successor Jeff Matthews. How Vic became Vic On September 22, 1984, the Demon mascot received his official name by means of another contest, sponsored by the Athletic Department. The contest was open to faculty, staff, and students. The objective to find a name for the Demon. Over 300 entries were submitted to the committee. The grand prize was an all expense paid weekend at the Louisiana State Fair Classic. Ray Carney, an alum of the University, was the official winner with “Vic” which is short for “Victory.” Vic the Demon 1, Chief Brave Spirit 0 Few events in Southland Conference history attracted as much attention as the Oct. 24, 1992, spontaneous scrap between Northwestern’s mascot, Vic the Demon, and Northeast’s Chief Brave Spirit. “The Tussle in Turpin” happened midway through the second quarter of the Homecoming game. KTBS-TV’s Sam Schachter made it his “Play of the Day” and the footage was picked up by ESPN -- who declared Vic the victor. Even Monroe’s News-Star newspaper and KNOE-TV conceded the decision to Vic, who rallied after the Chief knocked off his head. Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle called it “the fight of the year” and wrote, “Vic won a unanimous decision. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a fight where someone’s head actually gets ripped off -- and yet he rallies to win!” The footage made its way around the country, appearing on CNN Sports Tonight, ESPN College Gameday, NBC’s Today Show, KNBC in Los Angeles, WUSA in Washington, D.C., and many other TV outlets. USA TODAY featured the mascot melee in its Oct. 28, 1992 issue. At year’s end, the fight was named -- by viewer vote -- fourth on CNN’s Plays of the Year” show. The frisky mascots met again, with plenty of fanfare but no altercation, when NLU visited for a Jan. 30 basketball game. Shane Clabaugh, the senior social work major who served as Vic, explained: “After he tore my head off, that was it. That goes against the code of ethics for mascots.” Clabaugh said he won: “I scored a takedown. I was mad because he knocked my head off. I wanted to take off his head -- his real one.”

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a couple of people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 56th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 30th year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. During NSU’s 2018 Homecoming celebration, Pierce was honored at the N-Club Hall of Fame ceremony, becoming only the second person to receive the “Leadership Award” from the organization of former Northwestern athletic letterwinners. Pierce, an avid tennis player, has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and NSU Athletic Council one national championship.

Dr. Patrice Moulton He created, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Dr. Vicki Parrish Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity Jerry Pierce founded by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in place nearly five decades later, serving as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I status in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices and committee positions. In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie “Steel Magnolias,” with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate nearly three decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He has been also a master of ceremonies and speaker who has enlivened hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a tenured member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 64 (Born Oct. 22, 1956) • HOMETOWN: Alliance, Ohio • HIGH SCHOOL: Marlington ’74 • COLLEGE: Mt. Union ’78 (cum laude) POSTGRADUATE: Kent State ’86 • BEFORE HE WAS A.D.: Sports writer, Alliance (Ohio) Review, 1972-78; director of news and sports information, Hiram (Ohio) College, 1978-85; administrative intern, NSU athletics, 1985-86; director, NSU Athletic Association, 1986-92; director of athletic development, University of Akron, 1992-96; director of athletics, Northwestern State, 1996-present. BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

In more than a quarter century at the helm of the Northwestern State Athletic Department, Greg Burke is highly regarded far past the 318-area code due to the work he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke, a native Ohioan and avid fan of all Cleveland pro sports teams, has been the Demons’ athletics director since 1996. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution and is believed to be the longest-serving AD in state history. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship-caliber teams in most of the school’s 14 NCAA Division I sports. Highlights in Burke’s two-plus decades as athletic director include 42 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 76 All-America and Academic All-America student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty-six NSU teams have participated in NCAA or other postseason competition. The athletic program’s $10 million “Victorious” facility campaign has resulted in recent $1.7 million of construction and updates to the baseball, softball, football, soccer, and track complexes. Updates are also visible in the Athletic Fieldhouse and at Prather Coliseum, including a new interactive N-Club Hall of Fame display. The “crown jewel” of the campaign will be a $6 million Sports Performance Center project that will include the addition of an 11,000 square foot strength and conditioning center and significant updates to the department’s sports medicine areas. These completed projects come on the heels of the addition of a $1 million video board and $600,000 chairback seating upgrade at Turpin Stadium made possible through private gifts and sponsorships. Fundraising initiatives reached new levels in 2018-19 through increased giving to the Demons Unlimited Foundation that exceeded $2.5 million in restricted and unrestricted gifts, as well as to the “Perpetually Purple” endowment, which is now at an all-time high of $2.4 million. The athletic department also signed an exclusive multi-media rights agreement with Peak Sports Management. Competitively, one of the biggest achievements under Burke: NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. Tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. Since 2013, Lady Demon basketball (2014, 2015), softball (2013, 2014), tennis (2013, 2015), volleyball (2015) and baseball (2018) have reached NCAA Tournaments. Most recently, Jasmyn Steels had arguably the best year in Southland Conference history for a female track and female athlete by winning the long jump title at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships and finishing second at the NCAA outdoor meet. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. Anchors of the department are current head coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; softball coach Donald Pickett; and track and field coach Mike Heimerman, a trio with over 50 combined years on staff at NSU. Three former student-athletes in Burke’s tenure have become NSU head coaches, including fourth-year baseball coach Bobby Barbier, who guided the Demons to the 2018 NCAA Regionals after winning the first conference tourney title in school history. Numerous Burke coaching and staff hires have had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Over 100 former NSU student-athletes, coaches and support staff members, most of them here with Burke as AD or assistant AD (1986-92), are working in college athletics at some level. Former Demons are head coaches in 11 Division I conferences - SEC, ACC, MWC, Conference USA, Sun Belt, Ohio Valley, Horizon, Patriot, Southern, SWAC, and Southland – as well as several others at the Division II and NAIA levels. Former Burke lieutenants Todd Garzarelli (Indiana University Pennsylvania), Jason Horn (Florida Memorial University) and Dennis Kalina (interim at Binghamton) are now athletics directors. Former Demon baseball coach John Cohen is now Athletic Director at Mississippi State. Other Burke proteges include Tommy McClelland (Deputy Athletic Director at Vanderbilt), Roman Banks (athletic director at Southern University), Jodie Libadisos (associate AD for student-athlete enhancement at South Florida), Carolyn Lewis (Associate Athletic Director for Busi-

114

ness and Financial Affairs at DePaul) and Renae Myles Payne (Associate AD for Administration at Miami). Burke has established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies, including a graduation rate of nearly 90%. NSU has also had the most Southland Conference “Steve McCarty Citizenship Award” honorees since that award’s inception in 2008. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” In February 2013, he was presented the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the North Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. In 2010, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Burke was the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. Burke’s NCAA committee service has included terms on the NCAA Committee on Academics and Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served a term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. He began a five-year term on the NCAA Women’s Basketball Committee in 2020, working in the San Antonio bubble for most of March 2021. Burke is a member of the Central Louisiana Community Foundation Board of Directors. He is past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former member of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He has been involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their daughter Catherine graduated from St. Mary’s Catholic School in May 2012 and completed her graduate studies at UL Lafayette in December 2019 after earning her undergraduate degree from Louisiana Tech. She began a career in public relations and marketing in May 2018. She and Joseph Faucheaux of Natchitoches were married in July 2020.

7TH YEAR AT NSU

1ST YEAR AT NSU

Mike Jacklich is beginning his fourth year as an assistant athletic director for ticketing and special events and his seventh year in charge of all things involving Northwestern State tickets. He led the charge in re-ticketing the football and basketball stadiums to comply with social distancing guidelines from that state of Louisiana in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thankfully, NSU venues have reverted to full capacity and Jacklich can sell every seat in NSU’s stadiums and arenas. Jacklich came to Natchitoches from suburban Chicago, where he was the Director of Ticketing for the Schaumburg Boomers of independent baseball’s Frontier League. While with the Boomers, Jacklich worked closely with the Boomers general manager to shape and enhance all aspects of fan services.
