COACHING EXPERIENCE

1996

Adriano de Souza enters his fifth season at the helm of the Louisiana Tech Volleyball program and has led the Lady Techsters to steady improvement in each of his previous four seasons in Ruston. De Souza took over the program in 2012 and has since strung together a few rebuilding years in his first four years at LA Tech with the Lady Techsters improving in the win column each season the coaching veteran has been in charge. In 2015, the Brazilian native guided LA Tech to a 10-20 overall record, the team’s best finish since 2011, and a 3-13 mark in Conference USA play. The Lady Techsters recorded the most wins in conference action since the 2009 season with victories over Rice, UAB and Charlotte. Five Lady Techsters were named to the 2015-16 C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll, while junior Jacie McClure was selected to the 2015 C-USA All-Academic Team for her academic and athletic excellence throughout the season. De Souza also coached a pair of student-athletes that etched their names in the LA Tech record books in 2015 as senior setter Adria Morales and junior libero Alejandra Aviles each excelled on the court during the campaign. Morales surpassed a career milestone in her final game for the Lady Techsters after she notched her 1,000th career assist – a feat she accomplished in just two seasons in Ruston. As for Aviles, the libero continues to move up the ranks in LA Tech history after she ended the 2015 campaign with 464 digs, which moved her into fourth place in program history for most digs in a single season. Following the 2014 season, the Lady Techsters placed a student-athlete on an all-conference squad for the first time since 2009 with senior Rebecca Redgen being named Second Team AllConference USA after ranking fifth in C-USA in both kills and points. Redgen also led all Lady Techsters in kills (381), kills per set (3.74) and points (419.5). De Souza entered the 2013 season with a rebuilt roster and plenty to prove as a team as LA Tech was a first-year member of Conference USA. The Lady Techsters put together a 7-22 record with a 1-13 mark in league play, while de Souza led his team to a handful of impressive feats in 2013 with a plethora of underclassmen on the roster and just one senior. For the first time since 2010, Louisiana Tech defeated a conference opponent as the Lady Techsters prevailed against Conference USA foe Charlotte, 3-1, on Oct. 4, 2013 in Charlotte, a victory that also marked LA Tech's inaugural win as a member of C-USA in any sport. In his time at LA Tech, de Souza has coached two student-athletes that have gone on to play professional volleyball internationally. Former Lady Techster Stephany Salas played under de Souza in his first season as head coach for the Lady Techsters when she ranked fifth in the Western Athletic Conference in digs per set with 3.88 in 60 sets played in league matches as a senior. Salas is currently playing professionally for Gigantes de Carolina in Puerto Rico. The libero finished her two-year career at LA Tech as the all-time leader in digs per set in a career with 4.13. Helena Gunnarsdóttir graduated from LA Tech in 2016 and has since received an invitation to go back to her native land of Iceland and continue her volleyball career. In early 2012, Louisiana Tech announced the hiring of de Souza, a longtime Division I assistant coach, from Illinois State as the ninth head coach in Lady Techster volleyball history. In his inaugural season, de Souza's squad compiled a 3-27 record

on the court. De Souza, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, replaced Matt Sonnichsen, who resigned ADRIANO following the 2011 season after four years at the helm of the program. The 42-year-old Head Coach has brought a wealth Fifth Season of both collegiate and international coaching experience to Ruston, as well as recruiting ties in both the U.S. and overseas. De Souza's coaching resume spans 17 years and boasts stints at the club, high school and collegiate levels, including assistant coaching positions at Illinois State, Miami (OH) and Kent State over the course of his career. Before coming to Louisiana Tech, de Souza spent the past four years as an assistant volleyball coach at Illinois State where he helped rebuild the Redbirds program, leading it to the semifinals of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament two straight years. Prior to his time in Normal, Illinois, de Souza furthered his reputation by serving on the staff at Miami (OH) for three seasons from 2005-07 where he was instrumental in helping the RedHawks reach the 2007 NCAA Tournament after capturing the Mid-American Conference Tournament title that season. Two of Miami's wins that season came against nationally-ranked Ohio, the four-time defending conference champion. The only other team in the country to sweep the Ohio Bobcats in 2007 was national runner-up Stanford. In de Souza's first season at Miami in 2005, the RedHawks recorded the most wins (17) since the 1998 Mid-American Conference championship team went 27-8. In 2006, Miami finished fourth in the MAC regular-season race, the RedHawks' best finish since 2000. De Souza was a volunteer assistant at Kent State in both the 2003 and 2004 seasons, while completing his master's degree in sports pedagogy. He also volunteered as an assistant coach with the boys' volleyball team at Stow (Ohio) High School in 2004, and as the head coach of the Club Q Sport 17's team in 2004-05. Prior to de Souza's time in Ohio, his coaching career in the U.S. started with two years as the head women's volleyball coach at Union College while he took postgraduate courses. In his first head coaching stint, de Souza led the Bulldogs to a second-place finish in the Mid-South Conference and the program's first NAIA regional appearance in his final season in Kentucky (2002).

Fourth Season

Former Louisiana Tech volleyball player Gabryel Ording enters her fourth season as an assistant coach on the LA Tech coaching staff after rejoining the Lady Techsters in 2013. “Ording has been instrumental in reenergizing our recruiting plan and outreach,” head coach Adriano de Souza said. “Her understanding of what our university can offer both academically and as a volleyball program has been very valuable in the process of reaching out to prospective studentathletes.” Over the past three seasons at Louisiana Tech, Ording has helped manufacture a revival of the Louisiana Tech volleyball program serving both as an assistant coach and a recruiting coordinator. When Ording joined the volleyball program in 2013, the Lady Techsters were coming off of a three-win season and have improved in total wins in every year since. In 2015, Ording helped guide Louisiana Tech to more con-

ference wins than in the previous four seasons combined. Improved success has not just come on the court but in the classroom. Following the 2015 season, five Lady Techsters were named to the Conference USA Commissioners Academic Honor Roll and one, Jacie McClure, was selected to the 2015 Conference USA All-Academic Team. “Ording has a great sports mind,” de Souza continued. “She has a very intelligent way of coaching our players and her approach has helped to significantly improve their game performance.” Ording completed her senior season and earned her bachelor's degree from Louisiana Tech in kinesiology in November 2012 and a master’s degree in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Sports Performance in 2015. Over the course of her time at Louisiana Tech, Ording lettered all four years and was also the volleyball program representative in the SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee). “While a student-athlete at Louisiana Tech, Ording was not only always prepared for all the practices and matches she competed in, but she was also a leader who contributed to the organization and development of the program on and off the court and she has continued to do this as an assistant coach,” added de Souza.

SUCCESS ON THE PLAYING FIELD

Conference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation. Football • 88 teams have earned bowl bids • Eligible for the College Football Playoff • Conference USA has 11 bowl affiliations through the 2019 season, securing a minimum of five berths annually. Conference USA has primary bowl tie-ins with the Arizona Bowl, Boca Raton Bowl, Gildan New Mexico Bowl, Hawaii Bowl, Miami Beach Bowl, Popeyes Bahamas Bowl, R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, St. Petersburg Bowl and Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl, along with secondary arrangements with the Independence Bowl and the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl.

SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD

C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance of student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 20 years, nearly 30,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.

C-USA ON TV

C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network, ESPN and American Sports Network (ASN). The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all four networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports. C-USA membership include institutions within eight of the Top 40 media markets and four in the Top 25 according to Nielsen. C-USA home markets this year will include more than 13 million TV households, a 30 percent increase from two years ago.

C-USA DIGITAL NETWORK

The C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of non-televised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regular-season and championship event highlights, and conferenceproduced feature stories. In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and those numbers have more than doubled. Monthly and yearly subscriptions provide fans access to events offered on all of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming.

C-USA IN THE COMMUNITY

The conference’s current footprint is concentrated with 14 members in 10 states and a combined area population of more than 30 million. With a commitment to community involvement, the conference developed several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations. Individually, student-athletes are recognized each season through the Spirit of Service award.

GOVERNANCE

Conference USA has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors.

DR. LES

GUICE

University President

@LKGuice

Louisiana Tech University and President Les Guice share a rich history together that spans five decades and has produced family ties that are deeply rooted in a passion for the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters. From an architecture student stepping on the campus for the first time in 1972 to an appointment as Louisiana Tech’s 14th President in 2013, Dr. Guice has shown an unwavering commitment to leadership and service to his alma mater. One of Dr. Guice’s first achievements at Louisiana Tech was earning a bachelor of arts in architecture in 1976. Discovering a passion for engineering under the mentorship of Professor Jack Painter, Dr. Guice went on to earn a master’s degree in civil engineering from Tech in 1978. While working on his master’s degree, Dr. Guice also discovered a passion for teaching and education as a profession. Dr. Guice accepted a position as an assistant professor of civil engineering at Louisiana Tech in 1978 and was promoted to associate professor in 1981. A few short years after earning his Ph.D. in civil engineering from Texas A&M University in 1986, Dr. Guice was named the interim department head of civil engineering in Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering in 1988 and earned the permanent department head position and full professorship in 1989. As department head, Dr. Guice initiated the formation of the Civil Engineering Advisory Board and the Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumni recognition program, both of which significantly enhanced alumni participation and significantly enhanced fund-raising for the department. Throughout the next decade, Dr. Guice would continue to distinguish himself as an academician, researcher, administrator and leader. His dedication to his students, his faculty and the university would lead to his appointment as Dean of Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering and Science (COES) in 1999. As Dean, Dr. Guice continued to encourage and support innovations in the curricula. The College’s faculty became increasingly successful in securing external funding for the integrated curriculum which resulted in a transformative redesign of curricula throughout the College. Dr. Guice’s leadership and vision also reinvigorated the Engineering and Science Foundation to more effectively serve the needs of the College. He initiated a new integrated strategic plan, known as “COES 2010,” and capital campaign, “Tech’s BEST,” that led advancement of the college and to funding for an Eminent Scholar Chair, 15 Professorships, $500k Scholarship Fund, and several new laboratories and facilities. Dr. Guice leadership also helped to guide the Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM) toward a focus on the emerging field of nanotechnology. With the hiring of key nanotechnology faculty in numerous disciplines, further expansion of research laboratories, establishment of an interdisciplinary engineering PhD program with a nanotechnology track, and initiation of a B.S. in Nanosystems Engineering, the IfM and COES established strong research and education nanotechnology programs that have received national recognition. In 2004, Dr. Guice’s performance and accomplishments as dean of the College of Engineering and Science led to his appointment as Louisiana Tech’s vice president for research and development. During his tenure as vice president and as executive vice president in 2012, Louisiana Tech has significantly increased patents, licenses/options, start-up companies, SBIR grants with affiliated companies, and has established strong industry partnerships for commercialization of technologies. Dr. Guice also led the establishment of Louisiana Tech’s first two technology incubators, the Rawle and Humana Enterprise Centers. With a focus on the future and a progressive vision for economic development, Dr. Guice has led the planning and development of the Louisiana Tech Enterprise Campus – a research park connecting the university and downtown Ruston. Enterprise Campus’ first building, Tech Pointe, was completed in 2012 and is now home for several companies and organizations, including an Air Force funded Cyberspace Research

LATechSports.com

Laboratory. With the recent completion of Louisiana Tech’s new College of Business building and renovation to University Hall as a home for interdisciplinary entrepreneurship and innovation activities, the first phase of Enterprise Campus is nearing completion. Dr. Guice’s reputation for exemplary leadership has not been bound by the campus or the region. Roles in statewide leadership have included election to serve as the founding Chair for the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) Management Council, serving as Chair of the Louisiana EPSCoR Committee, and leading the development of a statewide science and technology plan, called FIRST Louisiana. Dr. Guice currently serves as Chair of the Board of Regents Master Plan Research Advisory Council and as chair of the Louisiana Innovation Council. Among the many awards and recognitions Dr. Guice has earned during his career is the Robert E. Russ Award from the Ruston/Lincoln Parish Chamber of Commerce (2009), Outstanding Civil Engineer from the ASCE Louisiana Section (2008), Louisiana Tech University Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumnus (2007), Louisiana Engineering Society’s James M. Todd Technological Accomplishment Award (2007), Governor’s University Technology Leader of the Year Award (2006), and Louisiana Engineering Society A.B. Patterson Medal for an Engineer in Management (2004.) On December 4, 2012, during a special session of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors, Dr. Guice was unanimously voted to serve as the 14th President of Louisiana Tech University. Dr. Guice officially took over as President on July 1, 2013. As President of Louisiana Tech, Dr. Guice is the chief executive officer of north Louisiana’s only Carnegie Foundation national research university and one of only two public universities from Louisiana recognized in the top tier of national universities by U.S. News and World Report. Dr. Guice leads a university that most recently has been ranked #11 in the nation in a list of “Most Underrated Colleges In America” (Business Insider), #17 in the nation in a list of “Low Cost Colleges with High Starting Salaries for Graduates” (Affordable Colleges Online), and #21 in the nation for providing its graduates with the best returns on their investments (AdvisorOne.) Throughout his career, Dr. Guice has contributed to and played a central role in creating the culture and vision for the future of Louisiana Tech, and continues that commitment as President. Dr. Guice’s focus on campus-wide engagement, building and growing relationships, and leadership in forging a path toward advancement of the university’s academic and athletic programs, research and commercialization activities, and economic development efforts means that Louisiana Tech University’s best days are yet to come. Dr. Guice is a native of Monroe and grew up in Bastrop. He and his wife, Kathy, have three sons – Kyle, Chad, and Bret – one grandson, Christopher, and twin granddaughters, Elizabeth and Everly.

@TMcClelland

Since stepping on campus in July of 2013, the cornerstone of Louisiana Tech Director of Athletics Tommy McClelland’s leadership has been the philosophy of building champions on the playing fields, in the classrooms and in life. While leading Louisiana Tech into the Conference USA era, McClelland impacted the athletics department through fundraising, facility improvements, coaching hires and overall student-athlete development. If 2015-16 is any indication, McClelland’s philosophy is paying dividends in Ruston. During McClelland’s third year sitting in the AD chair in Ruston, the University’s student-athletes combined to record one of the most successful years in recent history. “What a great job by our coaches, our student-athletes and our support staff this past year,” said McClelland. “It was truly a memorable year in so many ways. We preach building champions on the field, in the classroom and in life, and I truly believe we had more than our share of all of those during the past 12 months. “I think this year was one we can build upon. We never want to be satisfied, and we are always striving for even greater things. That’s our philosophy. However, when we look back at the past year, we know that a lot of blood and sweat and tears went into the successes that Louisiana Tech and its student-athletes had on the playing fields and in the classroom.” How impressive was 2015-16? Louisiana Tech joined Florida, Florida State, Ohio State and Ole Miss as the only five Football Bowl Subdivision schools to recorded 9-plus wins in football, 20-plus wins in men’s basketball and 40-plus wins in baseball. That’s pretty elite company. It was also one of only 12 FBS programs to play in the postseason in each of those three sports, joining Florida, Connecticut, Florida State, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Washington, Duke, Arizona, Utah and Miami (Fla.). Not a bad crowd in which to be included. The impressive year started in late August when the brand new $23 million Davison Athletics Complex – which encloses the south end of Joe Aillet Stadium – opened and the second largest crowd in Tech football history watched the Bulldogs defeat Southern in the season opener. It was just the beginning of a great season for head coach Skip Holtz and the Bulldogs, who defeated Sun Belt Conference champion Arkansas State 47-28 in the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. It was the first back-to-back bowl victories by LA Tech in program history (Tech defeated Illinois in the 2014 Heart of Dallas Bowl). The year culminated in June when the Bulldog baseball team – which was picked 11th in the preseason C-USA Coaches Poll – earned its first ever at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, winning a pair of games in Starkville while advancing to the regional championship game against Mississippi State. The Diamond Dogs posted 10 wins over Top 25 teams, including a three-game conference sweep of the Rice Owls. Tech earned the program’s first ever at-large berth and its first regional appearance since 1987, defeating 4-time NCAA champion Cal State Fullerton. Tech’s 42 wins were the sixth most in program history and the most since 1988. It was a truly memorable year on the playing fields, including: The Bulldog golf team shocked everyone in route to capturing the Conference USA team title (its first since 1980) and clinching the program’s first ever appearance in the NCAA Regionals. The Lady Techster tennis team recorded the program’s first win over a nationally ranked team (defeated No. 45 Georgia State) while also earning its first ever national ranking. Chad Camper was named the LSWA State Coach of the Year for the second time in three seasons. The Lady Techster soccer team qualified for the C-USA Tournament for the third time in four years and recorded the program’s 100th win. Katie Sloan also became the 17th student-athlete in LA Tech history to earn Academic All-American honors. The Lady Techster softball team recorded a 32-win season, its first

back-to-back 30-plus win seasons since the late 1990s. Tech won five straight league series for the first time in program history and fell just percentage points shy of winning the West Division. Tech also drew a program home record 1,927 fans against LSU. The Bulldog basketball team won 23 games, eight of those coming against teams that participated in the postseason, including Ohio State and Florida Gulf Coast. Tech advanced to its fourth straight postseason tournament, while senior guard Alex Hamilton was named the Conference USA Player of the Year and honorable mention AP All-American. The LA Tech track and field teams also had some impressive individual performances as Jermey Hicks earned second team all-American honors in the indoor 60-meters, advancing to the NCAA Indoor Championships. Adams represented the University in the NCAA Outdoor Championships, competing in the long jump in Eugene. Off the playing field, the LA Tech Athletics Department had a stellar year as well. Seventy-five student-athletes earned their bachelor’s or master’s degrees while 151 made the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and 27 received the C-USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal. Tech’s student-athletes recorded a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 83 percent and a Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) of 62 percent, with both being record highs for the University. Louisiana Tech’s 83 percent graduation success rate ranks as the second highest in the state among Division I football-playing public institutions, trailing only LSU by one point (84). Louisiana Tech also made the announcement in the fall that it partnered with adidas America, Inc. to establish a transformational 5-year exclusive agreement that will outfit all 16 NCAA men’s and women’s programs in adidas uniforms, apparel, footwear and equipment through the 2020-2021 athletics season. Tech alumni and fans also continued to buy in to the vision for the athletic department as the Louisiana Tech Athletics Club (LTAC) set an alltime high in total LTAC giving and most total LTAC donors. 2015-16 was truly amazing. Shortly after his hiring in 2013, McClelland re-energized the LA Tech fan-base when he joined President Guice in an October press conference revealing the updated plans for the Davison Athletics Complex located in the south endzone of Joe Aillet Stadium - the centerpiece of the University’s Quest for Excellence capital campaign. McClelland completed the fundraising needed for the project, and the new facility opened in August of 2015. It generates an additional $500,000 annually in revenue. Another marquee addition to the Louisiana Tech athletic facilities during McClelland’s tenure is the $1.2 million Paul Millsap Vision presented by Community Trust Bank, a high definition video display board in the Thomas Assembly Center. The project also included a customized sound system for the Thomas Assembly Center and a video board control room, which will be utilized for both football and basketball. These two major facility improvements and additional smaller scale projects were made possible through a pair of record-setting years in fundraising. During the 2013-14 fiscal year, McClelland spearheaded the efforts in raising more than $10.8 million through both LTAC and Quest for Excellence; more than double any previous year in Tech Athletics his-

tory. Included in the record total were five, seven-figure gifts. The 2014-15 fiscal year saw record totals in Louisiana Tech Athletic Club (LTAC) unrestricted donations -- both in dollar figures and in total number of donors. It also included increases in ticket sales in football, men’s and women’s basketball. Tech had plenty of success stories on the playing fields during those first two years, led by the Bulldog basketball team winning backto-back Conference USA regular season titles and advancing into the NIT with impressive road wins over SEC foe Georgia (2014) and Texas A&M (2015). The Dunkin’ Dawgs tied the program single season wins record (29) in 2014 and totaled 56 wins during the two year span. On the gridiron, the Bulldog football team captured the Conference USA West Division title in 2014, recording a 9-5 overall record and barely falling to Marshall in the C-USA title game. Tech earned an invitation to the Heart of Dallas Bowl and promptly defeated Big 10 foe Illinois 35-18. Tech sophomore Victor Lange became the first Bulldog golfer ever to earn an NCAA Regional appearance, competing in the San Antonio Region in 2014 and Lubbock Region in 2015. He also hired one of the rising stars in college baseball in Greg Goff, a 21-year coaching veteran. In just two seasons in Ruston, Goff led the program to this year’s NCAA Regionals before being hired by SEC member Alabama. Prior to coming to Ruston, McClelland made a national name for himself after quickly elevating to the athletics director position at age 26. He earned high praise from a number of high-profile, experienced athletic administrators. “Tommy McClelland is an outstanding leader and one of the nation’s rising stars in intercollegiate athletics,” said Bubba Cunningham, athletics director at the University of North Carolina. “He has a demonstrated commitment to supporting and developing his coaches and student-athletes and has already become well-known among ADs for his leadership, vision and character. Tommy has also shown a dedication to lifelong learning and the application of his skills and talents to making his athletic programs better.” Prior to being named athletic director at McNeese State on March 19, 2008, McClelland served as interim athletic director and assistant athletic director of internal affairs at the university. In his time at McNeese, McClelland and his staff had numerous success stories when it came to increased revenue streams and the overall game-day experience in Lake Charles. He raised more than $3 million in private donations, and he was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships to nearly $1 million, while securing new clients and multi-year sponsorships. McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales: the program eclipsed the 8,000 mark in 2008 with a high of 8,035 in 2009. In addition, he was instrumental in setting single-game attendance records in baseball, volleyball, softball, soccer, women’s basketball and women’s tennis. “Tommy is a rising star in the college athletics administration field and, in my view, the ideal leader to advance Louisiana Tech’s athletics program as it transitions into Conference USA,” said Ian McCaw, former athletics director at Baylor University. “He possesses impeccable integrity and has an extraordinary work ethic. Moreover, his interpersonal and relational skills are outstanding and will enable him to quickly connect with Bulldog fans as well as campus and community leaders.” One of McClelland’s main goals was to improve the life of the student-athletes and increase the game-day experience for the McNeese State fan base. One of the most effective ways to accomplish these goals was by improving the facilities. During his time at McNeese State, he oversaw a combined total of over $11 million dollars in facility renovation and new construction. The combination of increased revenue streams, renovations and new construction, and a highly-involved fan base led to plenty of success stories on the playing fields. During his tenure as athletic director, McNeese won Southland Conference championships in football (2007, 2009), soccer (2006, tournament; 2007, regular season), softball (2010, tournament; 2013, regular season), men’s basketball (2011, regular season), women’s basketball (2011, regular season; 2011 and 2012 tournament) and men’s cross country (2012). The women’s basketball program made its first appearances ever in the NCAA Tournament, and the men’s basketball program hosted the first round of the NIT postseason tournament (Boston College live on ESPNU). Even more impressive is the fact that while the Cowboy and Cowgirl programs were capturing titles on the fields, the University’s student-athletes were making tremendous strides in the classroom. In five of McClelland’s six years as athletics director, McNeese State led the Southland Conference in the number of student-athletes named to the

Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In addition, McClelland guided the resurgence in APR success in Lake Charles. The number of athletic programs boasting the required APR score of 925 went from four in his first year to all 16 in his final year. The community service hours performed by the MSU student-athletes also tripled to more than 3,000 during his tenure. “Tommy has a great knowledge of college athletics and excels at helping his student-athletes balance and succeed in their commitments to academics and athletics,” said Warde Manuel, athletics director at the University of Connecticut. “Tommy has also proven his ability to work effectively with coaches and administrators to help his programs be successful.” McClelland earned his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern State in 2004 and completed his master’s degree in sports administration in 2005. He walked on with the Demons football team and eventually earned a scholarship; he also competed in the javelin for the NSU track and field team. The native of Basile, Louisiana served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State in athletics and also worked at the Southland Conference office as an administrative intern, assisting with championship events. McClelland is also a 2012 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. McClelland is married to the former Jessica Stokes of Garrison, Texas. They have two sons, Lawson (6) and Grayson (5).
