2: Playing his second game as a sophomore, WR Demario Douglas is two catches away from 100 for his career. He recorded his first multiple touchdown game as a Flame last Saturday, hauling in two TDs, including a late game-tying score, at Southern Miss.

75: RB Shedro Louis needs 75 more rushing yards to reach 1,000 for his career. He recorded a team-high 13 carries for 55 yards during the season opener at Southern Miss. Louis has posted two 100-yard rushing games in his career.

4) The Flames’ 29-27 season-opening win at Southern Miss required four overtimes, the most in program history. Redshirt freshman Kaidon Salter, Liberty’s third quarterback to play in the game, threw a game-tying TD pass to Demario Douglas with 36 seconds left in regulation and then the game-tying two-point conversion to Jerome Jackson in the fourth OT.

2) This is Bryant Vincent’s second game as UAB’s interim head coach. The Blazers are the first of six opponents on Liberty’s 2022 schedule with new head coaches this season (also Akron, New Mexico State, UConn, UMass, and VirginiaTech).

3) Liberty is 17-2 in its last 19 home openers and looks to start 2-0 for the third consecutive season.

STORYLINES

5) Liberty’s defense forced five turnovers (three interceptions and two fumble recoveries) against the Golden Eagles, the first time in a decade that the Flames have forced five miscues in a game.

The 14th class of inductees to the Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame will be recognized during Saturday’s game. This year’s class includes Jacob Swinton (Men’s Track & Field), Jose Gomez (Men’s Soccer), Jessica Moore (Softball), Glenn Inverso (Football), Paul Wetmore (Softball Coach), and Natalie [Barr] Lyttle (Field Hockey). For more information, see page 103.

MILESTONE WATCH

3) UAB is the first of three opponents that Liberty will face this season coming off bowl victories a year ago, along with Arkansas and Wake Forest. UAB is one of three teams Liberty will attempt to defeat for a second straight season (also Old Dominion and UMass).

TODAY’S GAME

HALL OF FAME WEEKEND

1) Today’s game is the first contest at the newly remodeled Williams Stadium. Last season, the Flames won 36-12 in UAB’s first-ever game at Protective Stadium, Oct. 2, 2021. UAB is Liberty’s only Conference USA opponent this season after the Flames faced seven C-USA foes during the last two years. Liberty will join C-USA in 2023, while UAB is leaving for the American Athletic Conference.

4) Liberty aims to start 2-0 for the third year in a row, while UAB is seeking its first 2-0 start in three years. The Flames kicked off their season by playing the longest game in program history, a four-overtime contest at Southern Miss that took approximately four hours to complete. Meanwhile, UAB took control of its season-opening matchup with Alabama A&M early, scoring four TDs during the first quarter.

1) Liberty (1-0) will unveil a remodeled Williams Stadium on Saturday, welcoming UAB (1-0, 0-0 C-USA) to town for the Flames’ home opener.

2) Liberty topped the Blazers 36-12 last season in Birmingham in the first-ever meeting between the two teams. Both squads won bowl games a year ago, with the Flames triumphing in the LendingTree Bowl and the Blazers taking home the Independence Bowl trophy.

CLEAR BAG POLICY

In an effort to enhance fan safety and expedite entrance to Williams Stadium, Liberty University has implemented a security screening process that includes a clear bag policy. This initiative limits the size and types of bags that can be brought into the stadium by fans. Only clear tote bags that do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12,” 1-gallon plastic freezer bags, and small handheld clutch purses (no larger than 4.5” 6.5”) will be allowed into Williams Stadium. Liberty Athletics encourages guests to arrive at least 60 minutes prior to kickoff to avoid lines and enjoy the pregame, in-stadium activities.

And my mom saw all of it. She’s been telling me from the very beginning, “I see this for you.” So she obviously broke down in tears when seeing me come back and accomplish my goals after everything I’d been through. After all of it, I just focus on living my life like nothing ever happened to me.

WHAT TO DO NEXT?

I try to use it as motivation to keep going.

I’m proud of myself because I could have gone down a totally different path. And I almost did.

I’ve never had any type of traumatic injury before, and that one sort of took me back a bit. When I looked down, I realized I pulled part of my finger Everythingoff. was just a blur after that.

That’s something my mom instilled in me since day one.

It was the spring game of my senior year. I was going to make a sack on the quarterback, and I went to tomahawk the ball. But as I was making the play, my teammate was coming for the sack as well off a blitz, and my hand got caught between his helmet and the quarterback’s helmet.

Everything happens for a reason. I 100% believe that. But finding that reason can be quite the challenge Isometimes.experienced that firsthand in my senior year of high school.

I just remember pulling back and suddenly feeling my hand go completely numb. It wasn’t until I looked down and noticed the blood that I knew something was wrong.

Like, is this where I’m supposed to be?

One moment, I was on the field playing the game I loved, and the next moment, I was in a hospital room, thinking about my future.

That entire conversation broke me down a little bit because she gave me the opportunity to quit if I wanted to, and I’d never really had that. I’d always felt like I had to do it — that I had to keep going for somebody or something, you know? So being told that I had that support no matter what decision I made forced me to have that conversation with myself and God.

In the days and weeks after, I had to rethink whether or not I really wanted to continue playing football. Life gives you different paths to walk, but ultimately, you have to choose which one to take.

NO CRUTCH NEEDED

I don’t use my accident as a handicap or something that holds me back. Because it hasn’t held me back. It hasn’t stopped me, and it NEVER will.

If I quit, will this be the wrong thing for me? That conversation helped me figure things out. God wants me to be here, and I’m supposed to be Everythinghere. has played out for a reason. That reason pushed me to return to the field and eventually earn an opportunity to live out my dream as a college football player at Liberty University.

It’s not that I’m embarrassed about what happened, but at the same time, there are moments when I don’t want people to know. There are times when I don’t say anything. Some of my teammates still don’t even know. It’s something that I don’t like talking about, and more importantly, it’s something I don’t feel like needs to be talked about because I’m still the same Actually,athlete.abetter athlete.

PLAYER FEATURE STORY

MAKING MY OWN PATH TRESHAUN CLARK

I don’t really remember much from that day, and honestly, I’m not sure I want to.

I just remember her saying, “It doesn’t matter what decision you make, as long as you talk to God and you know that it’s the right decision for you — made out of good thought and a good mindset.”

As a parent, she never wanted to make any decisions for me. She wanted to let me grow up and choose my own path.

I hope to use my platform for more than just It’sfootball.oneof the reasons I’ve joined the #CreatedEqually initiative in an effort to bring awareness to inequalities and help make positive social changes. I was afraid to do it at first, honestly. But I almost felt like some sort of responsibility, you know? I have to use my platform and the respect I’ve earned for the greater good.

WHEN NO ONE’S LOOKING

Regardless of whether it’s in life or football, that extra work is how you find success. It’s how I came back.

PLAYER FEATURE STORY

Just hearing people tell me how proud and thankful they are for me doing this means the world to me. It’s always moving just to get that love and support. That just reinforces in my mind that I’m doing the right thing.

NO LIMITS

My hope is to be the best player, teammate, and leader I can be on and off the field. But overall, I just want to strive to be a better human being and encourage others to do the same.

One thing that helped me was my dad motivating me to work outside of the field first. It’s the little things you do when no one else is watching that make the biggest impact.

In general, taking on more of a leadership role has become very important to me. Along with the work with #CreatedEqually, I’ve also joined Coach Freeze’s Culture Council, which is basically a group of players that meet in an open forum setting to talk about many of the same Coachissues.Freeze talks to us about being watchmen for our brothers and sisters. We just want to take that initiative to help somebody move forward or really motivate somebody to change for the It’sbetter.allabout leading by example on and off the field. We want to take that extra step for each other and help show one another how to do things the right way. And I’ve been very intentional about it all — being a better leader is a big mission of mine for this year. I feel like I earned a lot of people’s trust and respect, and they listen to me. And I take pride in that. Through the Culture Council and the #CreatedEqually initiatives, I want to leverage that in the most positive way possible. Here at Liberty, I feel like we’ve built a brotherhood where we all truly want the best for one another.

It’s been beautiful to see how everyone, including myself, takes the constructive criticism. That’s the one thing that separates us: We have each other’s backs on and off the field. And as long as that remains the case, the sky is the limit.

of Trustees since 1996 and filled the role of Board Chairman since 2003. He recently retired as the senior pastor of Anchorage Baptist Temple in Anchorage, Alaska, where he served for 47 years. Raised in Tennessee, Prevo graduated from the Baptist Bible College and completed other work at various universities, including the University of Tennessee, Belmont College, and Tennessee Temple. He moved to Alaska in 1971 to take over a small mission work, where he put his entrepreneurial skills into action. Over time, he expanded the church congregation, including the implementation of a bus service to pick up children for Sunday services and, by extension, their parents. In the mid-1970s, the mission work purchased 20 acres and built a white-steeple building to hold services, and in 1992, a 43,000-square-foot auditorium was completed.

Additionally, Prevo is the CEO and chairman of Christian Broadcasting Inc., which he started and now has three stations and two broadcasting towers in Anchorage, Alaska.

JERRY PREVO BIO

In 2020, Prevo took on the role of interim president of Liberty University. In accepting this role, he stepped down as Board Chairman and officially began his new duties in August 2020. Since then, he has led the university with a renewed focus on Liberty’s foundational Christian mission. He has provided stable leadership — supported by Liberty’s ongoing enrollment growth, excellence in academics and intercollegiate athletics, and thriving spiritual life — and striven to make Liberty an employer of choice through multiple initiatives, as well as helped lead the university through its 50th Anniversary celebration in Fall 2021.

Prevo has witnessed Anchorage Baptist Temple become one of the largest churches in Alaska. The services have drawn an average of more than 2,000 people per week. The church also offers education for preschool through senior high at Anchorage Christian Schools — the largest Christian school in Alaska — and ministers through its television station.

Both Liberty’s baseball and softball programs have advanced to NCAA Regional play each of the last two years, while the track & field program had six AllAmericans in 2022 at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field TheChampionships.men’sgolfteam made their third-straight appearance at the NCAA Men’s Golf National Championship in 2022, finishing the event in 26th place.

29 IAN MCCAW BIO IAN MCCAW Ian McCaw has a vision for Liberty Athletics, and he has worked quickly to make that vision a reality since being named the department’s 11th director of athletics on Nov. 28, 2016.

The Flames ranked No. 74 in the final 2021-22 Learfield Directors’ Cup standings. Liberty received points in the 2021-22 Learfield Directors’ Cup rankings thanks to national championship finishes or bowl game appearances by baseball, field hockey, football, men’s golf, men’s tennis, softball, and women’s cross country.

when the Flames won 10 conference titles, Liberty finished the 2020-21 season ranked No. 70 in the Directors’ Cup standings, which was the highest ranking in athletics department history.

His vision for Liberty’s intercollegiate athletics program by providing a high quality student-athlete experience and achieving victory McCaw has lived out this mission, guiding Liberty Athletics to unparalleled success on the field, in the classroom and the local community in a short time on Liberty HeadingMountain.intothe 2022-23 athletics season, Liberty’s teams have captured 44 total conference titles since McCaw’s arrival on Liberty Mountain.

Liberty’s football program is just one of five FBS teams in the country that has won a bowl game each of the last three seasons, joining Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, and Louisiana.

Liberty Athletics has posted back-to-back top 75 finishes in the Learfield Directors’ Cup standings, the annual listing that ranks the top collegiate athletics departments in the Followingcountry.ayear

The men’s basketball team, which has qualified for three out of the last four NCAA Tournaments, has won 104 games over the last four seasons. This figure ranks fourthbest among all Division I teams in the country.

Liberty’s success on the field during McCaw’s time on Liberty Mountain has allowed the visionary athletics director to reshape conference affiliation for the Flames. Less than three months into his time at the head of the athletics department, McCaw helped launch Liberty into the top level of intercollegiate competition. On Feb. 16, 2017, Liberty received notification that the NCAA had approved its request to enter into a two-year Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) reclassification process.

During the Flames’ first four seasons as a member of the ASUN Conference, Liberty has captured the Bill Bibb Trophy each year the conference has presented the award (2018-19 and 2021-22). The trophy is presented to the ASUN Conference institution with the top overall athletics program.Intheera of massive conference realignment, McCaw has the Flames positioned to make another jump when Liberty moves to Conference USA, starting with the 2023-24 athletics Conferenceseason.USA will be the all-sports conference for Liberty Athletics, including the Flames’ football team that has competed as an FBS independent program since moving up to the FBS level in 2018.

Liberty’s recent success has spawned unprecedented growth in the Flames Club and record-setting football and basketball season ticket sales. During the 2019-20 athletic season, Flames Club donations surpassed the $1 million mark for the first time in athletics department history, aided by 1,265 members.

McCaw then helped pave the way for the future of Liberty Athletics on May 17, 2018, when it was announced that 17 of the 20 NCAA Division I programs will end a 27-year run in the Big South Conference to join the ASUN Conference for the 2018-19 athletics season.

Under McCaw’s leadership, Liberty Athletics is the fastest growing athletics department in the country. Nearly all 20 of its NCAA Division I programs have reached new heights at the national level in the last few years.

Liberty baseball standout Aaron Anderson was selected the 2022 CoSIDA Academic All-America® Division I Baseball Team Member of the Year by College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The award is the top academic student-athlete in NCAA Division I baseball.

McCaw’s commitment to the full student-athlete experience has seen Liberty Athletics post an 88 percent Graduation Success Rate each of the last three years, matching the highest mark in recorded athletics department history.

Football had a season of “firsts” in 2020, including the team’s first-ever national ranking, first win over an ACC opponent, the best start in school history (8-0 to start 2020) and first-ever win over a top-25 FBS program.

The Flames Club more than doubled its membership total during the 2020-21 athletics season and brought in $2 million to its annual fund. Flames Nation once again more than doubled its support for Liberty Athletics last year. The Flames Club finished the 2021-22 athletic season with $4.1 million in annual fund contributions with a department record 4,538 members.Duringits first full season at the FBS level, Liberty sold fewer than 4,000 football season tickets. Heading into the 2022 season, Liberty has doubled its season ticket sales and is poised to sell out Williams Stadium for the first time in athletics department history.

The Lady Flames field hockey program led the country with 20 wins in 2021 and became the athletics department’s first-ever team to advance to an NCAA Division I national championship game.

Liberty’s success has not just been limited to the field of competition, as Flames student-athletes are also winning in the Libertyclassroom.hasposted a 3.27 cumulative GPA each of the last two years (2020-21 and 2021-22), had five CoSIDA Academic All-American®, and posted a team GPA of 3.0 or higher for 19 out of 20 programs.

The Flames are the second team in NCAA history to win a bowl game each of their first three years at the FBS level (2019 and 2020 FBC Mortgage Cure Bowl and 2021 LendingTree Bowl).

THE NICKNAME

Liberty began in 1971 as Lynchburg Baptist College with green and gold as the school’s colors. In 1976, the name was adjusted to Liberty Baptist College, and the colors were changed to red, white, and blue. The school once again changed its name in 1985 to Liberty University. However, throughout the shifts, “Flames” remained the nickname for Liberty’s athletics teams. In 1980, the eagle was designated as the Flames’ new mascot because of the patriotic symbolism and connection with the school name. It was designed with the Flames’ nickname in mind. Thus, a flaming torch clutched in the eagle’s left talon was included in the original mascot renderings.

The Liberty University athletics teams have been nicknamed the Flames since 1974, when the student body chose the Flames over several other options. The decision was based upon the school’s motto, “Knowledge Aflame.”

Liberty was the runner-up at the IC4A Championships in 1994 and 1995, while Swinton helped Liberty capture its first-ever IC4A Championship as a senior in 1996. He still holds the program’s record in the 55-meter dash (6.20) and owned the Liberty 100 (10.20), 200 (20.64), and 4x100 relay (39.86) standards for more than 25 years.

JESSICA MOORE

SOFTBALL: 2005-07

Jessica Moore set standards that future softball players will be chasing for years to come during her record-setting three-year career with Liberty after transferring from Charlotte. Arguably the best hitter in program history, Moore became the program’s first AllAmerican in 2007 when she was named to the Easton Fastpitch All-America second team. To this day, Moore still holds 16 program records and is the program’s all-time career leader in batting average (.419), grand slams (7), slugging percentage (.848), and on-base plus slugging (OPS) percentage (1.363). She also ranks in the program’s top 10 in career home runs (58), RBIs (141), runs (191), and hits Moore(229).helped the Lady Flames post their second 40-plus win season in 2006 (41-23) and led Liberty to the Big South regular season title in 2007, a season that included three wins over top 25 teams. Moore was a two-time Big South Player of the Year (2005 and 2007) and was twice selected as the VaSID State Player of the Year (2006 and The2007).native of Chesapeake, Va., played professionally for the Washington Glory for two seasons before returning to Liberty’s program in 2010 and 2011 as an assistant coach.

Swinton is inducted to the Hall of Fame posthumously. Sadly, Swinton finished the race of life, succumbing to cancer in February 2022 at the age of 50.

Jacob Swinton joined the men’s track & field program as a sophomore and quickly earned All-America honors during his rookie season. He finished in seventh place in the 100-meter dash at the 1994 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championship.Swintonwasa four-time IC4A champion in three different individual events (1994 indoor 55, 1994 outdoor 100 and 200), and he was a member of the 1996 IC4A champion 4x100 relay squad as a senior. He also finished as the 1994 Penn Relays 100 runner-up during a year when he ranked No. 19 in the United States and No. 43 in the world for the 100.

Wetmore coached some of the best players in the program’s history, spotlighted by the program’s only two All-Americans (Jessica Moore in 2007 and Kelly Strickland in 2011). He also coached five Big South Players of the Year, six VaSID State Players of the Year, and 60 Big South all-conference selections.

JACOBSWINTON MEN’S TRACK & FIELD: 1994-96

Paul Wetmore not only helped reinstate the softball program in 1994, but he also set a standard over a 20-year coaching career that few other coaches in Liberty Athletics history have matched.

LIBERTY ATHLETICS HALL OF FAME

Wetmore’s teams continually played some of the best in the country, and Liberty knocked off six nationally ranked teams, including No. 6 Michigan and No. 10 Baylor.
