Steve Patton has averaged nearly seven wins per season in his 12 years with the Gardner-Webb program, and has the Bulldogs in strong shape heading into his 13th campaign. The Oneonta, Ala., native became the first coach in Big South history to record 100 career wins in 2007, and now has 107 victories in his 16 seasons of coaching on the collegiate level. Patton has recorded a 77-54 record during his 12 seasons at GardnerWebb, giving him more wins than any coach to lead the program before him. The Runnin' Bulldogs are poised to make a run once again in the Big South Conference, with 23 starters returning on offense, defense and special teams for the 2009 campaign. The Runnin' Bulldogs sent receiver Dobson Collins to the NFL (San Francisco) in 2008, marking the second season in a row that a GWU player had either signed a free agent deal or been drafted by the league. Collins and linebacker Jeffery Williams earned All-America honors and Williams was named Big South Defensive Player of the Year – following up strongly on his Freshman of the Year Award from the previous season. In 2007, Brian Johnston earned consensus All-America honors and was drafted in the seventh round by Kansas City. Linebacker Mario Brown and cornerback Cedric McGowan were named honorable mention All-America by The Sports Network, Williams earned Big South Freshman of the Year honors after setting a new pace with 120 total hits in 2007. Patton, a two-time Big South Coach of the Year, directed the 'Dogs to a 6-5 record in 2006, the ninth winning season in his 11-year tenure in Boiling Springs. All five of those losses came at the hands of teams ranked at some point during the season as members of the Division I FCS top-25 – including national champion Appalachian State. The success of 2006 came with one of the youngest rosters in Division I, with 74 percent of the Bulldogs' team holding membership in either the freshman or sophomore class. Five of the team's six wins came against Division I competition, and Johnston was named Big South Defensive Player of the Year and a Division I FCS All-American by the Associated Press and Football Gazette. Linebacker Brown and center Kris King also earned All-America honors, with King accepting a roster spot for the U.S. National Team at the 2007 World Cup of Football in Japan. Kicker Hunter Smith was named to the Division I FCS Athletic Director's

Academic All-Star Team, and was highly decorated on and off the field – becoming the first student-athlete in Big South football history to earn All-Conference honors in four consecutive seasons. GWU has played one of the toughest collections of teams in the Big South over the past four seasons. Of Gardner-Webb's five wins in 2004, two came against teams that were ranked in the NCAA Division I FCS top-25 at some point during the season, and four of the losses came against teams who capped top-25 seasons in November. The same can be said for 2005, as GWU fell in overtime to a top-15 squad, and dropped two more games to top-10 teams Furman and Hampton. Patton has forged a solid program, winning 51 games at the Division I level. Since joining the Big South Conference in 2002, Gardner-Webb has gone 15-8 during five seasons of competition – with league titles won in 2002 and 2003 with undefeated ledgers. Notable in terms of the strength of Gardner-Webb's non-conference schedule since 2004 is that 13 of the Bulldogs' last 18 non-league losses have come at the hands of either top-25 FCS teams or teams from the Bowl Championship Subdivision – including last season's 10-7 loss at eventual top-25 member Georgia Tech. During Patton's tenure, 31 GWU players have earned All-America honors. Johnston and Brown's selections in 2007 made the pair two-time All-Americans, and Cedric McGowan became the Bulldogs' first corner to earn that distinction since 2004. King continued that tradition in 2006, and Duvaughn Flagler was tabbed in 2005. In 2004, Patton saw two players earn I-AA All-America honors, with Harold Wells earning I-AA National Defensive Lineman of the Year honors from the Football Gazette. The Bulldogs' 26-20 overtime win over Western Carolina surprised many – and sparked interest in the Gardner-Webb program locally that helped smash previous single game and season attendance records at Ernest W. Spangler Stadium. Another 19 Bulldogs earned All-Big South honors as well, which led the league for the third-straight season. GWU has seen 101 players earn All-Big South honors since 2002. Under Patton's guidance, the Bulldogs followed up a surprising run into the national spotlight in 2002 with another big season in 2003. The ‘Dogs posted an 8-4 record, won all four of their Big South games and appeared in the national top-25 for three weeks during the ‘03 campaign. Three of the Bulldogs’ four losses came on the road to teams ranked in the national top-20, and GWU pushed its active home winning streak to 15 games with an overtime win over current FBS program Florida International in November.

is currently the defensive line coach with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. In 1996, Patton returned to the college ranks, taking the head coaching position at North Greenville (S.C.) College and directing the Mounties’ transition from a junior college to a four-year program. To no one’s surprise, he was successful, leading his teams to a 12-9 record in two seasons. In his final campaign (1996), Patton led the Mounties to a 7-3 record, a national top-10 ranking and an outstanding offensive season. North Greenville led the Mid-South Conference in total offense (440 yards per game) and scoring (31.0 points per game) in 1996. Running back Coco Henderson and offensive lineman Scott Buchanan were among several Mounties to earn AllConference accolades following the season. Players competing for Patton can expect honors and superlatives to come their way. In addition to the previously mentioned All-America honors, 155 players have earned All-Conference selections. With experience as a scout for the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes and as a former professional head coach, Patton has enjoyed success preparing his players for pro football. Canadian League, Arena League and NFL scouts are very familiar with Boiling Springs, and can be seen milling through the GWU Football Center, evaluating talent, each year. Patton began his college career at the University of Alabama before transferring to Furman. During his time at Furman, Patton competed successfully on the gridiron and as a collegiate tennis player – while graduating Magna Cum Laude with an undergraduate degree in History. As a graduate assistant coach with the Paladins, Patton earned a Master’s Degree in Education in 1979. During his high school playing days at Oneonta (Ala.) High, Patton earned AllState honors while competing in football and track before heading to Tuscaloosa. Patton is married to the former Debbie Talbert of Charlotte, N.C. The couple has two daughters, Stetson Kay and Shelby Anne.

HEAD COACH

Mario Williams, Graham Whitlock and Harold Wells each earned some form of AllAmerica honors at the I-AA level, with Williams earning first-team All-America honors from The Sports Network. Five GWU players earned All-East Region honors from The Football Gazette, and the program tied its school record from a year earlier by having 20 student-athletes named to the All-Conference team. Williams was named Conference Defensive Player of the Year for the second time, and graduate student Jim Maxwell earned Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year honors from the league. Following the 2003 season, Maxwell turned his attention to the NFL, signing a free agent contract with the New York Giants after receiving offers from no fewer than 10 teams – and played in 13 games with the Big Blue. William Andrews, Jr., who became the school’s career leader in receptions, inked a free agent contract with the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes. In 2002, Patton directed his Bulldogs to what some consider the most successful season in school history, winning 90 percent of a 10-game schedule that was made up exclusively of Division I-AA opponents (9-1) and bringing home the school’s first conference team championship in any sport since Gardner-Webb’s move to the NCAA Division I level in 2000. Patton saw the Bulldogs capture the league’s inaugural title in dominant fashion, winning two games on the road and outscoring league competition by a combined 126-63. The Bulldogs finished the season ranked in the top-25 of all three major Division IAA polls (now FCS), and were among the nation’s most surprising teams – finishing with the second-longest active win streak in the nation (8 games). A total of 20 student-athletes earned All-Conference honors in 2002, including Big South Offensive Player of the Year Jeremy Martin, Big South Defensive Player of the Year Mario Williams and Big South Freshman of the Year Keppy Baucom. Williams (Sports Network, 3rd Team), Martin (FB Gazette, Honorable Mention), Maxwell (FB Gazette, Honorable Mention) and Jason Bright (FB Gazette, Honorable Mention) also earned All-America honors after standout seasons, with Williams finishing among the top-10 nationally in tackles per game (12.0). Williams was the first Bulldog sophomore to earn a spot on a major All-American Team since former GWU wide receiver and NFL draftee Terry Guess in 1994. In 2001, Patton directed his ‘Dogs to their fifth straight winning season with a 6-4 mark, the first time in school history that the program had seen five straight campaigns above .500 in football. Senior Tory Atkins became the first Gardner-Webb player to earn Associated Press I-AA All-America honors, landing on the organization’s second team at linebacker. The Bulldogs also won the National Christian College Athletic Association’s Victory Bowl, defeating Trinity International (Ill.), 54-14, in Boiling Springs. Against I-AA foes, the ‘Dogs were 5-3 – the second straight winning record against I-AA foes since the move up from Division II in 2000. Since inheriting a team that finished 2-9 prior to his arrival in February 1997, Patton has posted a 72-48-0 mark. In the Bulldogs’ first season at the I-AA level in 2000, Patton saw his team post a 7-4 record (4-3 vs. I-AA foes), including a thrilling, last-second win over No. 23 New Hampshire on the road. Atkins and Sam Durst each earned third-team I-AA AllAmerican honors (FB Gazette). In addition to the 27 All-America players Patton has coached at the Division I level, former standouts Bo Shannon (1998) and Chris Mintz (1999) were each named Division II All-Americans following their senior seasons. Patton is no stranger to success. Evidence is his 131-88-1 career coaching record. That total includes a 107-77-1 record in 16 seasons at the collegiate level, which includes stops as the head coach at Mars Hill College, North Greenville College and Gardner-Webb. Patton, 55, made his head coaching debut at Mars Hill in 1985, directing the NAIA Lions to an 8-3 record and the school’s only outright SAC-8 conference crown. The smashing entrance into the head coaching ranks earned Patton National Coach of the Year honors and SAC-8 Coach of the Year honors from his peers. While at Mars Hill, 23 players were awarded All-Conference honors and current Gardner-Webb offensive coordinator Joe Pizzo was selected the 1985 SAC-8 Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Pizzo went on to play professionally with the Cleveland Browns and the World Football League’s Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks. Patton’s experience in pro football includes coaching the Charlotte Rage of the Arena Football League and the Alabama Magic and the Carolina Storm of the American Football Association. After guiding the Storm to an 11-0 record and an American Bowl National Championship, Patton added an AFA Coach of the Year award to his trophy case. He coached former Gardner-Webb All-Americans James Harbison and Rodney Robinson during his stint as head coach of the Rage. Former Gardner-Webb all-star Charlie Harbison was also an assistant coach under Patton with the Rage. Harbison is entering his first season as defensive coordinator at Clemson University after a year in the same role at Mississippi State. Another former Gardner-Webb standout, Jim Washburn, also coached with Patton in the professional ranks. Washburn, who was later an assistant coach at South Carolina and Arkansas,

'09 j o ePIZZO Joe Pizzo enters his 13th season with the Gardner-Webb football coaching staff and is in his ninth season as the team’s offensive coordinator. One of the brightest minds nationally on the offensive side of the football, Pizzo has shown a consistent ability to field offenses that move the football. Pizzo's offenses have a history of accomplishing success with balance between the run and pass, and the 2009 edition should be able to accomplish that more effectively than ever before – with a more seasoned offensive line and stable of running backs to play in support of senior quarterback Stan Doolittle. Pizzo's bunch overcame a rash of injuries last season, and graduated signal caller Devin Campbell stepped in midway through the year to lead the 'Dogs on a threegame win streak that saw the team average nearly 35 points per game. Campbell became the third Pizzo disciple to finish his career in the top-6 at GWU in passing yardage, tossing for 5,614 yards and 39 touchdowns in four seasons. Doolittle, healthy entering his senior season, ranks ninth all-time at GWU with 2,922 career yards. GWU averaged a solid 393.0 yards per game in 2008, and saw a pair of receiver haul in 50-plus passes – as NFL signee Dobson Collins caught 76 and redshirt freshman James Perry III caught 55 – ranking the pair one-two in the Big South statistics. A balanced unit in 2005 ranked No. 10 nationally by averaging 441.0 yards of total offense per game – and carved up opposing defenses regularly. Gardner-Webb's offense has produced effectively and consistently under Pizzo, finishing near the top of the conference statistics in each of his 12 seasons with the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs' 414.9 yards per game average in 2002 finished No. 11 nationally in total offense, and led the Big South in total offense, passing offense and scoring offense. The Bulldogs’ offense also helped the team’s turnover margin rise to No. 3 in the nation by that season’s end, committing only 13 turnovers (four interceptions, nine fumbles) in 10 games. In 2004, despite a slew of injuries and inexperience at receiver, the GWU offense produced 379.4 yards per game – with 236.6 yards coming through the air. The season finale against power Southeastern Louisiana may have been the team's finest moment of the year, as a relatively healthy bunch topped the Lions with 52 points and 433 total offensive yards en route to a big win. In 2003, quarterback Nick Roberts earned first-team All-Big South and third-team All-East honors after becoming the first signal caller in school history to complete 60 percent or more of his passes – and threw 20 touchdown passes in his first season as a starter. Roberts finished among the national top-20 in points accounted for in 2003, and led the Big South in total offense individually. Roberts set a new career-high with his 2,410 passing yards, moving into fifth on the GWU career passing chart. Big South Offensive Player of the Year and honorable mention All-America quarterback Jeremy Martin finished his career as the second-leading passer in GardnerWebb history in 2002, registering 8,025 yards and 60 scores in just three full seasons as a starter – all with Pizzo as offensive coordinator. With Campbell, Doolittle, Martin and Roberts, Pizzo has tutored five of the top-10 passers in school history, along with former GWU signal caller Clint Conner – who ranks fourth all-time in passing yardage and passing touchdowns. Another of Pizzo’s pupils, wide receiver William Andrews, became the most prolific pass catcher in school history with a solid year in 2003 – finishing his career at No. 15 on the FCS (formerly I-AA) all-time receptions list with 233. Tight end Jason Bright also earned AllAmerica honors in 2002 and became the first tight end in school history to leap into the career top-10 in receptions at GWU. In 2005, receiver Duvaughn Flagler became the fifth offensive All-America selection for Pizzo at the Division I level, after catching 55 passes and tying Andrews' Big South record with 13 touchdown receptions. Flagler finished his career tied for second in GWU history in receptions.

Pizzo's success over the past several seasons has proven his balanced philosophy to be sound. In 2006, the 'Dogs averaged 264.9 yards via the pass and 176.1 on the ground. In 2002, Gardner-Webb averaged 222 yards through the air and 193 on the ground. In 2001, when GWU posted a 10-game average of 440.7 yards per game, the Bulldogs averaged 250 passing yards per game and 190 on the ground. In his first season at GWU, Pizzo directed a 1997 offense that averaged 360 yards of total offense per game and registered over 2,000 yards rushing. Quarterback Clint Conner passed for 20 touchdowns and 1,874 yards that season while completing 54.9 percent of his pass attempts. Since Pizzo’s arrival on campus, no starting quarterback has completed less than 50.3 percent of his pass attempts – an impressive statistic. In 2002, Martin completed an amazing 59.2 percent of his passes, while throwing for 2,166 yards and 17 touchdowns with only four interceptions. In 2003, Roberts was an efficient 203-for-338 (60.1 percent) for 2,201 yards and 20 touchdowns with only 12 interceptions. Roberts on 57.1 percent of his passes in 2004. Current starter Doolittle ranks as the Bulldogs' career leader in completion percentage. Prior to joining the Bulldogs’ staff, Pizzo had spent time as the offensive coordinator under current GWU coach Steve Patton with the Arena Football League’s Charlotte Rage in 1992 and 1993. He was an offensive assistant at Mars Hill College in 1988 and 1989, handling duties with the Lions’ quarterbacks and receivers. Pizzo played for Patton at Mars Hill, earning South Atlantic Conference Player of the Year and AllAmerica honors in 1985. He was inducted into the Mars Hill Athletics Hall of Fame in November, 2007. Pizzo led the Lions to the 1985 SAC-8 championship and graduated from the school in 1987 with school records for passing attempts in a single game (49), touchdown passes in a single season (16) and most total offense in a single season (2,080 yards). He signed a free-agent contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers and joined the Cleveland Browns in 1987 – and signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts in 1991. Pizzo also spent time with the Detroit Lions, and started for the Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks of the World League of American Football. Pizzo and his wife, Dana, have one daughter, Stetson.

'09 chri s FOSTER Former Bulldog Chris Foster enters his sixth season with the GWU coaching staff, and will hit the field for the fifth year as a full-time assistant coach in charge of the Gardner-Webb running backs. His 2009 group is experienced, with four players – seniors Brandon Jackson, David Montgomery and Philip Peoples, along with junior Patrick Hall – holding at least one start during their careers. That group should allow the GWU running game to flourish. One of the toughest backs to play for Gardner-Webb, Foster will also spearhead the team's academic monitoring, and has developed a reputation as one of the program's top recruiters. In 2005, Foster saw Jermaine Boston earn first-team All-Big South honors, the first GWU back to do so since Foster in 2002. Boston and classmate George Pressley each finished among the top-12 rushers in GWU history, with Boston edging Foster for sixth on that chart. Two of his current backs – Peoples and Montgomery – are career 1,000-yard rushers. The lone two-time CoSIDA Academic All-District selection in GWU football history, Foster spent the 2004 season as a volunteer assistant coach with the team's running backs. A native of Chesnee, S.C., Foster was a two-time All-Big South Conference choice, earning second-team honors in 2003 after rushing for a career-high 923 yards. A firstteam All-Conference choice in 2002, Foster finished his career as the No. 6 rusher in GWU history with 1,883 career yards and 13 career rushing touchdowns – and now

team’s wide receivers coach in 2005 and as outside linebackers coach from 20032004. Since returning in 2007, Cooper has continued a fine tradition of producing standout wide receivers – including NFL free agent signee Dobson Collins, who also earned All-America honors in 2008, and rising sophomore James Perry III, who caught a career-high 55 passes last season. A native of Calgary, Alberta, Cooper served under Coach Doug Kay in Columbus, assisting with the Destroyers’ defense during the 2006 season. Cooper helped oversee a drastic improvement on that side of the football, as the Destroyers improved from near the bottom of the league’s defensive rankings in 2005 to finish second in the league in pass defense efficiency, second in scoring defense and fourth in rushing defense. One former Gardner-Webb player, fullback Harold Wells, finished as the franchise's career leading rusher. Prior to joining Columbus’ staff, Cooper helped Gardner-Webb rank No. 11 nationally in total offense in 2005, with receiver Duvaughn Flagler earning All-America honors under Cooper’s guidance. Flagler finished his career No. 2 on the Bulldogs career receiving list and teamed with Collins to become just the second tandem in GWU history to catch 50 passes each in a season. Cooper coached current NFL linebacker Jim Maxwell in 2003 at Gardner-Webb, as GWU’s defense ranked among the Big South Conference’s best en route to a league championship. Maxwell, currently playing with the Cincinnati Bengals, recorded 116 total hits, 15 tackles for loss and 16 quarterback pressures that season. In 2004, Cooper got his first taste of AFL football, serving as defensive coordinator with the Tulsa Talons of AFL2. Cooper also coordinated the defense for the Billings (Mont.) Outlaws in 2001 and 2002. Billings advanced to the league championship game in 2001. Cooper’s first stint at Gardner-Webb came after five seasons on staff at his alma mater, Rocky Mountain (Mont.) College. Cooper earned a degree in Exercise Science from Rocky Mountain, where he was a four-year letterwinner at outside linebacker from 1994-1998. He was an All-Frontier Conference choice and team MVP in 1997 and 1998. A graduate of Crescent Heights High in Calgary, Cooper is married to the former Allison Royster.

j o hnWINDHAM

Mike Doolittle is in his third season as an assistant coach with the Gardner-Webb University football program, and will be in his first as the team's offensive line coach – moving over from defense prior to spring practice. Doolittle inherits a young group on the offensive front in 2009, but has proven adept at molding inexperienced players into solid contributors since his arrival on campus. His work with the defensive line was effective in 2007 and 2008, and saw standout end Brian Johnston become the Bulldogs' first NFL draft pick since 1995 – when the Chiefs selected the two-time All-American in the seventh round of the 2007 draft. Doolittle came to GWU after a successful, 13-year tenure at Ninety Six (S.C.) High. One of the most successful prep coaches in South Carolina during his career, Doolittle coached the Wildcats to state championships in 2000 and 2001 and saw his teams appear in three state title games. He posted a 106-55 record in 12 seasons at the helm, and was an assistant coach for the 2005 South Carolina Shrine Bowl team. Doolittle has been familiar with the Gardner-Webb program for some time. Several of his former players at Ninety Six, including three-time All-American safety Mario Williams, spent time with the Bulldogs – with Williams finishing his career as the ninth-leading tackler in Gardner-Webb history. Williams was named Big South Defensive Player of the Year in 2002 and 2003. Doolittle is a 1977 graduate of Clemson. He and his wife, Fran, have two sons involved in college football. Mitch, a former quarterback at Presbyterian, is a graduate assistant coach at Georgia.

Veteran coach John Windham is in his third season with the Gardner-Webb football program as Defensive Coordinator, and has seen steady improvement under his watch. For the past two seasons, Gardner-Webb has finished first or second in the Big South Conference defensively, and in 2008 was one of the nation's toughest units against the run. Windham's group held a league-record six consecutive opponents to less than 100 yards rushing to start the season, including limiting ACC contender Georgia Tech to a scant 79 yards and no scores on the ground on October 11. Linebacker Jeffery Williams earned FCS All-America honors, and was named the Big South's Defensive Player of the Year. In 2007 GWU led the Big South Conference in total defense and ranked No. 34 nationally in fewest yards allowed. Defensive end Brian Johnston, linebacker Mario Brown and cornerback Ced McGowan each earned All-America honors, with Johnston a consensus choice. Windham spent the previous 11 seasons as head coach at Sewanee, University of the South. He was named the SCAC Coach of the Year in 2005 after leading his Tigers to a 5-5 record and thirdplace finish. Windham’s 2000 team tied for the Division III league’s championship, which was Sewanee’s first title in eight seasons. Windham saw his Sewanee teams record a combined 22 interceptions over his final two seasons in 20 games. A native of Gallatin, Tenn., Windham was a four-year starter at defensive end for Vanderbilt (1982-85), and graduated in 1986 with a degree in exercise science. Windham signed a one-year contract with the NFL’s New England Patriots as an outside linebacker in 1986. An 18-year coaching veteran on the college level, Windham started his career at Division II Livingston (West Alabama) in 1987 as the team’s defensive ends coach. Livingston led the strong Gulf South Conference in total defense that season. Windham moved up to the SEC ranks as a graduate assistant from 1988-89, working with the offensive line at Mississippi State, then landed his first coordinator position at Colorado College – where he served in that role from 1990-1995. He was named head coach at Sewanee prior to the 1996 season, and led the Tigers to a third-place finish in the SCAC in his first year. He and his wife, Heather, have three children, Maizy, Woods and Judd.

Rusty Wright enters his first season with the Gardner-Webb program, and will coach the team's defensive line in 2009. Wright comes to GWU after spending four seasons at Miami (Ohio), where he coached the Redhawks' defensive line for two seasons (2007-08) and served as special teams coordinator and defensive assistant in 2005 and 2006. In 2008, defensive end Joe Coniglio earned All-MAC honors after recording a team-high 4.0 sacks. In 2007, Wright mentored a group that helped the RedHawks pace the conference in six different statistical categories, including rushing defense, total defense, scoring defense and quarterback sacks. Coniglio earned third-team all-MAC honors that season. Wright saw placekicker Todd Soderquist earn secondteam All-MAC honors in 2005, and helped Miami (OH) rank among the MAC’s top three in net punting, punt return average and PAT conversions. All of Miami’s special teams units, including the return and coverage teams, ranked among the top half of the MAC. Wright came to Miami from FCS Butler University, where he directed a 2004 defense that allowed its lowest point total since 1998 and reduced its total defense by more than 65.0 yards per game. Wright also oversaw the linebackers for the Bulldogs, while mentoring three defensive players who earned all-Pioneer Football Conference North Division honors. Wright had joined Butler after a year as an assistant coach at Red Bank High School in Chattanooga, Tenn. The majority of Wright’s football coaching experience came at his alma mater, Chattanooga, where he served as an assistant coach from 1996 to 2003.

Both Williams and Brown, along with returning starter Marty Patterson, have earned All-Big South Conference under Cunningham's watch. A young, organized coach with a sound understanding of the game, Cunningham also coordinates the Bulldogs' recruiting efforts. In 2005, he coached the GWU safeties, mentoring All-Big South Conference selection Daniel Cooke, who led the Bulldogs with 99 tackles and four interceptions. Cunningham also coached the team's linebackers in 2003 and 2004, and spent the 2001-2002 seasons as a student assistant linebackers' coach when GWU utilized a four-linebacker scheme. During his time with the Bulldog inside linebackers, Cunningham saw Keppy Baucom earn All-Big South honors three times in as many seasons, with Baucom leading the 2004 Bulldogs with 90 total tackles. His 2003 unit, spearheaded by Baucom, Jonathan Little, Adam Wagner and J.P. Weaver, developed into one of the region's most consistent and effective groups.

Gardner-Webb enters the 2009 season with a decided advantage at the linebacker position, as five current letterwinners have logged at least 10 starts during their time in Boiling Springs. Two of those veteran standouts, Jeffery Williams (6-0, 225, Jr.) and Mario Brown (6-2, 240, RSr.) have earned preseason FCS All-America status, and give Gardner-Webb one of the country's top linebacker tandems heading into the season. Brown is back in 2009 after missing 10 games last season – which left the Bulldogs without the league's preseason Defensive Player of the Year. The Greenville, S.C., native's return is a major boost for an already strong unit, and should add bite to the team's pass rush. With his improved size, Brown could wind up swinging between bandit/rush end and strong side linebacker this season. He has 228 tackles in his career with the Runnin' Bulldogs, including 213 in his two full seasons as a starter. The Sporting News thought enough of Brown's presence to tab the redshirt senior as the Big South's preseason Defensive Player of the Year in June. In Brown's absence last year, the ultra-talented Williams stepped into the spotlight, leading the Big South with 119 tackles and ranking in the top-10 nationally in tackles per game. The Frisco City, Ala., junior seems to find the football at an alarming rate, as evidenced by his average of nearly 11 tackles per game since stepping into the starting lineup as a true freshman in 2007. Williams' efforts last season helped Gardner-Webb pace the league – and rate among the nation's best – in rushing defense all season, including a league-record effort of holding seven different opponents to less than 100 yards rushing. Williams cemented his reputation as one of the country's top tacklers after the season, earning positions on two All-America teams as well as the Big South's Defensive Player of the Year Award. Heading into the 2009 season, Williams earned preseason All-America honors from The Sporting News, Southern Pigskin, CDSDraft.com, Phil Steele's College Football Preview, The Sports Network and Lindy's College Football Preview. Outside linebacker Marty Patterson (6-3, 215, Jr.) stepped into Brown's starting spot for the final 10 games last season, and is primed for a repeat performance after earning second-team All-Big South Conference honors after a career-best 81 tackles. Patterson proved more than capable of producing at the Division I FCS level, and is expected to start again in 2009. The Mt. Airy, Ga., native has deceptive speed, and proved very effective at making plays in the backfield a year ago, with his 12.0 tackles for loss leading the team. Oluwadamilola "Dami" Teniola (5-11, 220, Jr.) should man the middle of Gardner-Webb's defense again after registering a career-high 79 tackles and 5.5 tackles for loss in his first season as a starter in 2008. A native of Nigeria, Teniola could challenge for Academic All-America honors in 2009 as well, and is a physical tackler who played a big role in Gardner-Webb's high rankings nationally last season against the run. A former starter on the weak side, Quantavis Jackson (5-11, 203, Sr.) moves back after spending a year playing strong safety, and is another key member of what could be considered Gardner-Webb's best group of line-

backers since moving to Division I. The Ft. Myers, Fla., standout is strong in pass coverage, and has been very effective during his career playing on the weak side. Heath Hover (5-11, 224, RSr.), Garrett Trusler (6-2, 225, So.), Devin Johnson (5-10, 206, So.) and William Mines (5-11, 225, RSr.) have each seen playing time in reserve roles – and will compete for snaps again this season behind a very strong starting group. Converted safety Brian Wittenberger (6-2, 215, RFr.) is a hard-hitting newcomer to the group, and will also push for early playing time – in addition to providing strong support on kick coverage. The Damascus, Md., native was the fastest of all linebackers who tested in the 40-yard dash following spring practice, and will be an impact player for the Bulldogs before his career is through. The Bulldogs' lone signee at the position, Jonathan Langston (5-11, 210, Fr.) is a versatile youngster who could compete for time at any of the three linebacker positions. Langston enjoyed a successful career playing for Georgia Class 5A power Grayson (Ga.) High. Langston was an All-Gwinnett County choice last season after registering 105 tackles and 16 tackles for loss to lead the Rams to a 12-1 season.

If linebacker is the most talented position group on the 2009 team, the Bulldogs' defensive line could be the deepest unit – with 17 players on the roster capable of playing at tackle, bandit or end. Veterans Leon Hudson (6-2, 247, Sr.) and Quinnon Isom (6-1, 293, RSr.) will be joined by talented young pass rusher Jordan Woods (6-3, 235, So.) as men with starting experience heading into the season, and all will compete for starting nods again in 2009. Hudson, who started at end last season, was steady for the Runnin' Bulldogs – with his highlight coming in the near upset of Chic-Fil-A Bowl participant and FBS top-25 member Georgia Tech in mid-October. The Fayetteville, N.C., native finished that game with six solo tackles and 3.0 tackles for loss in that 10-7 decision, helping limit the Yellow Jackets' churning ground game to just 79 yards on the afternoon – their lowest output of the season. Isom returns to anchor the interior, and is a force in the trenches. The fifth-year senior is one of the team's strongest players – regardless of position – and has settled in well on the defensive line. The Toccoa, Ga., standout spent the 2006 season starting on the offensive line at guard, but moved back to defense midway through the 2007 campaign – becoming a rare starter on both lines in the same season. Isom's strength on the interior produced 40 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks last season, as well as two forced fumbles. His production in 2009 could see a jump, as he has shown improvements across the board

during offseason conditioning – improvements that should pay off in a major way this fall. Woods spent much of spring practice playing at the true end position, after starring as the team's bandit/rush end in 2008. The former West Charlotte (N.C.) High star earned second-team All-Big South Conference honors as a true freshman, totaling 51 tackles, 6.0 sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss. Five of Woods' sacks came against Big South competition, with four coming in the final three games of the season. Blessed with good speed off the edge, Woods' potential as a sack artist is very high. The preseason All-Big South selection could start at either end spot in 2009. Veterans Brian Lewis (6-4, 269, Sr.), Nelson Rushing (6-1, 300, Jr.), Henry Hunt (6-3, 228, Sr.) and Cameron Lyles (6-5, 229, RJr.) add experience for the 'Dogs as well. Rushing is a potential sleeper on the interior, bringing a wealth of quickness, size and strength to the table. Lewis is penciled in as a reserve at end, while Hunt and Lyles will compete for snaps at bandit/rush end. Converted tight end Luke Stein (6-2, 254, So.) moved to defensive tackle during spring practice and should be a factor in the rotation once he adjusts completely to his new position. A versatile performer two years ago at Highlands (Ky.) High, Stein is a hard-nosed, athletic player who performs with high energy regardless of where he lines up. Three linemen redshirted for the Runnin' Bulldogs last season – Dylan Taylor (6-0, 272, RFr.), Maurice Bryan (6-2, 248, RFr.) and Evan Short (64, 274, RFr.) – and all three took advantage of the year off to add size and strength, which should allow for strong competition once August drills begin. Gardner-Webb targeted the defensive line as an area of emphasis during recruiting, and that emphasis in February paid off with a strong class of incoming freshmen. Headlined by end Nick Stone (6-2, 250, Fr.) from Durham, N.C., and tackle Matt Goods (6-2, 280, Fr.) from East Orange, N.J., GWU will have five newcomers suiting up at those two positions in 2009. Stone, who played at Hillside (N.C.) High, keyed one of the state's top 4A programs last season – splitting time between end and linebacker as a senior. A gifted pass rusher, Stone was rated as one of the state's top defensive linemen in the Class of 2009, and chose Gardner-Webb over an offer from FBS member Ohio in February. Goods comes to Gardner-Webb after spending the 2008 season at national prep school power Milford (N.Y.) Academy, and is another highly regarded prospect. The 6-foot-2, 280-pounder originally signed with the University of Massachusetts out of St. Mary (N.J.) High, before heading off to prep school. An athletic tackle, Goods finished with 40 tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks at Milford in 2008 – and drew recruiting interest from a host of schools, including BCS league members Rutgers and Virginia Tech. Both Stone and Goods have a chance to play early, particularly with a quick adjustment to the speed of the game during August practice. Tackle Colin Dawes (6-4, 290, Fr.) originally signed with Gardner-Webb in February, 2008, and will join the program this season after taking a year away from the game. The Fuquay-Varina (N.C.) High product has excellent size and speed for a defensive lineman, turning the 40-yard dash in a solid 4.9 seconds following his senior season on the high school level. End Hudson Smith (6-2, 230, Fr.) may be the most intriguing prospect the Runnin' Bulldogs signed on the defensive side of the football in February. A versatile player in the prep ranks at Aiken (S.C.) High, Smith was an All-State selection last season at tight end, but also rated as one of the Palmetto State's top prospects at fullback. A very athletic youngster, Smith covers 40 yards in 4.7 seconds or better, and could have a very quick impact as a bandit/rush end or at defensive end. The two-time All-Region choice is also expected to be a major contributor on special teams coverage units, and could be utilized as a short yardage fullback in the mold of former defensive lineman Kenny Baker. Two-way lineman Xavier Montague (6-2, 255, Fr.) will concentrate on defense for Gardner-Webb, after starring on both sides of the football for state power Independence (N.C.) High. Montague, who has run the 40-yard dash in as fast as 4.7 seconds, is listed as a tackle – but has the quickness and

speed to move to end if needed. He continues a strong recent tradition of talented Independence High standouts playing for Gardner-Webb, joining recent graduates and four-time All-Big South Conference selections Daniel Cooke and Demario Deese.

Senior Leon Hudson is one of three returning starters along the defensive line.

* Denotes Starting Experience

Gardner-Webb returns three of its four starters in the secondary for 2009, with cornerbacks Cedric McGowan (6-0, 193, Sr.) and Bryce Nixon (5-11, 186, Jr.) the most experienced of that trio. Safety Lyndrez Leslie (6-0, 199, So.) also returns, but the 'Dogs must replace four-year starter, and four-time All-Big South choice Daniel Cooke

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with Cooke having started 44 consecutive games in the secondary, splitting time between free safety and strong safety during a solid career. McGowan, a preseason All-America selection by CDSDraft.com, is a strong tackler on the corner, and has proven to be a solid cover man at times as well since moving into the starting lineup prior to the 2007 season. The Greer, S.C., native has registered 96 total tackles and eight interceptions over the past two seasons, earning first-team All-Big South Conference honors in both 2007 and 2008. McGowan will have to assume more of a leadership role in 2009, as he steps onto the field as the defensive backfield's most experienced member. Nixon earned a starting nod prior to last season, and finished with solid numbers, leading the team with nine pass break ups in addition to registering 30 total hits (17 solo) and an interception. Another big cornerback at 5-foot11, Nixon is a very good leaper who can hold his own against larger receivers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and will look to continue his improvement from last season. Leslie is a potential star at free safety, having gained priceless experience last season as a true freshman and putting up solid numbers in the process. Leslie, who has bulked up to nearly 200 pounds while trimming his 40-yard dash time into the 4.5-second range, finished 2008 with 43 tackles and an interception while learning on the fly as the youngest member of the Bulldogs' defensive backfield. Leslie and Nixon should be familiar with each other, as both played in the same secondary in 2006 at M.L. King (Ga.) High in Atlanta, in addition to their time together on the field at GWU last season.

One of the top candidates to move into Cooke's spot in 2009 is Chris James (5-11, 210, RSo.), an athletic young safety who missed the 2008 campaign while recovering from injury. James was strong during spring practice, and has worked hard to prepare for the rigors of a full college football season. He showed a strong work ethic as a reserve safety and on special teams as a freshman in 2007, and could be a surprise performer this season. Others who will push for starting honors at safety include converted receiver Darren Rogers (6-1, 212, Sr.) and Keron Phelps (6-2, 206, So.), with newcomer Courtney Roundtree (6-1, 190, Fr.) and veteran Jeremy Smith (6-1, 218, RSr.) also competing for snaps. Veteran Jermaine Grandison (5-7, 176, Sr.) has starting experience at corner, and will push both starters for playing time in his final college season. Blessed with good quickness, Grandison makes up for his lack of ideal size with toughness and good instincts. Newcomer Sean Davis (5-11, 160, Fr.) could be the most talented pure cover man on the roster by the time the season is complete, and was recruited by several FBS level schools out of Luella (Ga.) High. He will push for a spot on the depth chart early, and is also a potential kick returner with solid speed. Javonte Gaitwood (5-11, 184, RJr.) and David Borrelli (5-9, 174, RFr.) will also be in the mix for playing time as reserve corners. Gaitwood has the ability to swing between safety and corner, and was a highly recruited prospect out of Wilson Beddingfield (N.C.) High prior to joining the Gardner-Webb program.

The quarterback position remains in good hands with the return of All-Big South candidate Stan Doolittle (6-3, 224, Sr.) under center. The Ninety Six, S.C., native went down with an injury in the Bulldogs' near upset of Georgia Tech on October 11, one week after passing for a career-high 310 yards at Charleston Southern – and worked himself into tremendous shape by the time spring practice rolled around. Doolittle has packed on muscle while lowering his 40-yard dash time into the 4.7-second range, with his improved mobility a potential bonus for the Bulldogs' running game in 2009. The veteran signal caller ranks first in GWU history in completion percentage and has already moved into the top-10 in career passing yardage (2,922) in his three seasons with the program. The former Shrine Bowl most valuable player was sharp during spring practice and, as usual, earned high praise for his leadership skills on and off the field. Those intangibles will be crucial to Gardner-Webb's attempt to return to the top of the league standings in 2009. Beyond Doolittle, the depth at quarterback is inexperienced, but the men who will compete for snaps in reserve bring a wealth of tools to work with. John Rock (6-3, 214, RFr.) exited spring practice with a leg up as the top backup to Doolittle, and has the arm strength and athleticism to push for playing time in his first season with the Bulldogs' active roster. Rock, who dedicated himself to improving his overall agility and footwork – in addition to bulking up – during the summer months, was a highly recruited prospect as a high school senior at Springboro (Ohio) High – choosing GWU over a handful of FBS programs, including Boise State. In addition to Rock, a pair of newcomers enter the college ranks with solid credentials as well, with Chandler Browning (6-3, 225, Fr.) and Keenan Grissett (6-2, 215, Fr.) signing with the Runnin' Bulldogs in February as part of another strong recruiting class. Browning, courted by several ACC programs during his senior season at Raleigh Broughton (N.C.) High, was considered one of the Tar Heel State's top quarterbacks in the Class of 2009. A sturdy quarterback with a strong arm and good instincts, Browning has a chance to make an impact early in his career. Grissett enjoyed a stellar career at Cross Creek (Ga.) High in Augusta, and is another big, strong quarterback who is very dangerous with his arm or out of the pocket. A two-way standout in high school, Grissett runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds and would be a very dangerous runner in GWU's shotgun option game – in addition to his skills as a passer. Receiver Logan Eppley (5-10, 176, RJr.) is also capable of duties under center, having played the position for GWU as a freshman and sophomore.

Gardner-Webb may have more depth at the running back spot than it has seen during the Division I era, with four current backs holding starting experience and all four boasting at least one 100-yard rushing game during their careers. The team's four most experienced backs have combined to rush for 3,687 yards and 37 touchdowns on 723 career carries – averaging a strong 5.1 yards per rush during their collective careers in Boiling Springs.

Philip Peoples (6-0, 227, Sr.) returns as the team's top rusher from last season, and is the preseason favorite to regain his starting position in 2009. The Atlanta, Ga., native has packed on considerable size during the offseason, and has the ability to get the football across the goal line – as evidenced by his six touchdowns last season. Peoples is one of two backs with more than 1,000 career rushing yards on their stat sheet, along with scat back David Montgomery (5-7, 175, Sr.), who ranks No. 13 in school history with 1,392 career yards on the ground. The slippery Montgomery is the team's top receiving threat out of the backfield, with his 57 career receptions ranking fifth in school history for running backs. The Sugar Hill, Ga., native could find himself in the slot at receiver in certain formations this season, and is a threat to go the distance any time he touches the football. Brandon Jackson (6-0, 199, Sr.) could be the team's most elusive back, and has excelled as a kick return specialist over the past two seasons. Jackson also has a nose for the end zone, and can be electric in the open field, one of the reasons for his appearance on the preseason All-Big South team as a return man (Phil Steele). Jackson is Gardner-Webb's active career leader with 6.9 yards per rush in three seasons. Arguably the team's most complete back, Patrick Hall (5-11, 213, Jr.) has the size and speed (4.5 in the 40) to emerge as an All-Conference candidate with a consistent season. Hall's seven rushing scores led the team in 2008, and he has scored 10 career touchdowns on just 132 carries. Hall rushed for 381 yards and averaged a solid 4.5 yards per carry last season, a year that saw him limited due to a rash of minor injuries. Gardner-Webb will rely on its seasoned quartet of runners listed above, but could turn to an athletic pair of youngsters without much – if any – drop off at the position. Kenny Little (5-11, 215, RFr.) could be the team's top newcomer on the offensive side of the football – from a skill position perspective – in 2009. The Mt. Olive, N.J., runner is one of the team's best overall athletes, and has excellent speed (4.5 or better in the 40) and agility to compliment his strength and explosiveness. Little was highly regarded by the coaching staff during his redshirt season, and was just as impressive during the early stages of spring practice. His development over the course of the 2009 season should add to what should be an improved ground attack. Cat-quick Ricky Rhodes (5-7, 170, So.) has returned to his natural position, where his elusiveness and speed should create opportunities for more playing time in the offensive backfield. Rhodes, who could also line up in the slot, spent the 2008 season learning cornerback, and saw limited duty. The Madison, Ky., native was slowed by injuries during spring practice, but will be back at full strength once August drills begin for the Runnin' Bulldogs.

Gardner-Webb's receiving corps lost its lone All-America choice from 2008 with Dobson Collins' graduation and free agent signing with the San Francisco 49ers – and must find a way to overcome the loss of Collins' 76 catches, 937 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2009. Early good news is that GWU does return the Big South Conference's secondleading receiver in James Perry III (6-0, 188, RSo.), who enjoyed a tremendous first season with the Runnin' Bulldogs. The athletic Greensboro, N.C., native caught 55 passes for 661 yards and a pair of scores in 10 games, and blossomed near the end of the 2008 season – earning

second-team All-Big South Conference honors. Perry's 55 catches were the most for a Gardner-Webb freshman since future Hall of Famer William Andrews, Jr., hauled in 70 balls during the 2000 season – GWU's first as a member of the Division I ranks. Andrews went on to shatter the program's career receptions mark with 233 in four seasons as a starter. Perry spent the offseason working to improve himself physically, bulking up to nearly 190 pounds and lowering his 40-yard dash time to a quicker 4.5 seconds during spring testing. Those improvements should help Perry's ability to get the ball into the end zone in 2009. With Perry moving into a primary role, supporting performances must come from a large group of contributors. Tyson Petty (5-11, 180, Jr.), Nick Melton (6-1, 206, Sr.) and Jamal Patmon (6-6, 205, RJr.) each have starting experience at the position. Petty has shown flashes of potential during his first two seasons, catching 21 passes for 330 yards and a score while splitting time as a kickoff return specialist. The Gaffney, S.C., native will have to step into a more prominent role in 2009 – and has the ability to make his presence felt. Melton, a physical former quarterback, has been a reliable receiver during his time at the position – and has 30 career receptions in 31 games. An underrated athlete with tremendous hands, Melton could be a go-to receiver and is expected to push for starting honors at an inside position. Patmon is perhaps the team's best at the position in terms of raw athleticism, and has NFL-caliber size and leaping ability. His emergence as a starter late last season was key to the Bulldogs' mid-season surge offensively, and with improved consistency, the Greenville, Ga., native could be pleasant surprise and an All-Big South Conference pass catcher.

An area of potential improvement in 2009 for the Gardner-Webb offense could rest with the team's offensive line. Veteran coach Mike Doolittle takes over the unit, and will be asked to help mold a group with better size and talent – but with very little depth in terms of overall experience on the college level. GWU does have a pair of All-Big South Conference linemen with the return of guard Corey O'Daniel (6-7, 314, Jr.) and tackle Kyle Webber (6-5, 285, Sr.). The two standouts boast a combined 36 starts over the past two seasons with the Runnin' Bulldogs. O'Daniel, who can play either guard or tackle, was a second-team All-Big South choice as a sophomore – and is a preseason honoree heading into the 2009 season. Webber, an athletic tackle who covers 40 yards between 4.9 and 5.0 seconds, earned preseason All-Conference honors in 2009 from Phil Steele's College Football Preview – and has caught the eye of NFL scouts heading into his final campaign.

SEASON OUTLOOK

Gardner-Webb will also look for production from speedster Marquis Sanders (5-11, 175, RSo.) and a pair of taller receivers in Lyndon Leslie (6-2, 205, RSo.) and Kenny Rivers (6-3, 202, RSo.). Converted quarterback Logan Eppley (5-10, 176, RJr.) and former defensive back Ricky Rhodes (5-7, 170, So.) could also factor into the mix early. Sanders, from nearby East Gaston (N.C.) High, has the ability to stretch the field vertically, and is one of the team's fastest players. He saw limited duty in 2008, but has continued to make strides at the position, after catching two passes for 44 yards – which included a 38-yarder vs. Sam Houston State. Leslie caught three passes for 44 yards last season in limited duty, including a 22-yard touchdown vs. VMI, and has the size to make a difference at an inside receiver spot. Rivers, hampered by an injury for much of last season, also has the size and ability to be a solid contributor on the inside. With limited experience at receiver, Gardner-Webb will look to the tight end position to play a more integral role in the passing game in 2009 – and has the talent in place for that approach to work very well. Returning All-Big South tight end Josh Miller (6-2, 241, Jr.) is one of the league's best at catching the football, which should help him continue to flourish in Gardner-Webb's offensive scheme. Miller caught a career-high 18 passes for 203 yards and a score last season, and became a dangerous weapon when called upon during the season's late stages. His production at the position opened up the field considerably for the Gardner-Webb offense, and proved to the Bulldog coaching staff his reliability as a receiver. A former prep running back with good agility and strength, the Danville, Ky., native could have a breakthrough season as a junior. Kyle Hoffner (6-2, 220, RSo.) and James "Pork Chop" Dugas (6-1, 231, So.) will compete for snaps behind and, at times, beside Miller at tight end – and both earned valuable playing time last season as freshmen. Hoffner has trimmed down since 2008, and proved himself to be a solid blocker in two-tight end sets last season. The Sebring, Fla., native was a very good receiver during his prep career at the position, and will look to improve upon his totals in that area in 2009. Dugas was a valuable special teams player in 2008, but should find himself in the early mix for more playing time at tight end as a sophomore. A powerful blocker who seems to enjoy contact, Dugas will excel in whatever role he is asked to perform at the position.

Junior Corey O'Daniel (#76) cleared paths for skill players like James Perry III (#17) very well in 2008, earning second-team All-Big South Conference honors.

Joining O'Daniel and Webber as a returning starter is center C.J. Bryant (6-1, 277, Jr.), who has logged 21 starts in two seasons at his position. The Blue Ridge (S.C.) High product has shown improvement snapping the football and as a blocker since arriving on campus two seasons ago, and has more starts under his belt than any other active lineman heading into the 2009 season. Veteran Austin Osment (6-3, 293, Sr.) will be a candidate to start at guard again in 2009, despite missing spring practice with an injury suffered late last season. Osment, who played two seasons at Division II Southwest Baptist (Ark.) University before transferring to GWU, is also capable of playing center as needed. The team's inexperience is evident from there, with only two more players – Marion Gramling (6-2, 273, RSr.) and Zach Welch (6-2, 290, RSo.) – having logged playing time at the senior college level. Despite the lack of experience, the talent level for the young linemen currently on the roster is encouraging. Coming out of spring practice, Patrick Wilson (6-4, 288, RSo.) had emerged as a candidate to start at right guard, and is a big, powerful blocker in the running game who has overcome injury to become a viable option up front. Gramling and Osment will also push for that nod, with the versatile Gramling also competing for time at either tackle position. Towering prospect Harrison Martin (6-6, 290, RFr.) spent last year bulking up after a decorated career at East Mecklenburg (N.C.) High, and is penciled in as the team's starter at left tackle entering August drills. Martin, who was heavily recruited by several ACC and Conference USA programs as a prep senior, has made solid gains and could be a major surprise in 2009 – after taking advantage of a year to grow in a college strength training program. Gramling and youngster Steve Demilio (6-5, 278, RFr.) will also compete for time at left tackle in 2009, with Demilio another strong, athletic prospect at the position. Demilio, who prepped in 2007 at Milford (N.Y.) Academy, is a former defensive lineman who showed progress during spring practice on the offensive side. Gardner-Webb signed four young linemen in February, giving the program six total offensive line prospects who will have four years in the program. Center Jeff Harris (6-2, 270, Fr.) is the most highly regarded of the newcomers, having starred at Class 4A power East Forsyth (N.C.) High last season. Harris, who will push for early playing time – and potentially a starting spot up front – was a heavily recruited lineman among FCS programs before choosing the Bulldogs. A pair of athletic linemen from the Palmetto State will also make their presence known early in their careers at GWU. Former Ninety Six (S.C.) High standout Austin Sargent (6-3, 265, Fr.) could line up at guard or tackle, and is an accomplished long snapper as well. Jamie Dunaway (6-3, 270, Fr.) starred at national powerhouse Byrnes (S.C.) High and is also capable of lining up at guard or tackle with equal

effectiveness. Both Sargent and Dunaway were All-State selections as high school seniors, and each played in the annual SCADA North/South All-Star Game. Gardner-Webb also inked guard James Harrill (6-2, 307, Fr.) in February, with Harrill projected to compete for time at guard for the Bulldogs. Harrill prepped last season for Hargrave Military Academy's nationally-ranked postgraduate team, after spending his high school career at Farragut (Tenn.) Academy in Knoxville.

GWU must replace four-time All-Big South punter Michael Hanna, but returns one of the nation's top kickers and scorers in Ryan Gates (5-8, 182, So.). Gates finished among the nation's best in field goals made per game and kicking points last season, earning first-team All-Big South honors as a true freshman. The former East Coweta (Ga.) High star was named preseason, first-team AllAmerica by Phil Steele's College Football Preview Magazine in late June, and will look to build upon a strong start to his career kicking the football. Bradley Williams (6-3, 194, RSo.) and Graham Purvis (5-11, 170, RSo.) will compete for the job as the team's punter, with Williams also a capable kicker and kickoff specialist. Receiver Nick Melton (6-1, 206, Sr.) also has punting experience, in addition to his role as one of the Big South's top holders on PATs and field goals – and could be called upon to punt if needed. The Bulldogs' return game should also be in good hands, with returning standouts Brandon Jackson (6-0, 199, Sr.) and Tyson Petty (5-11, 180, Jr.) handling kickoffs, and a number of capable return men competing to replace All-Big South punt returner Dobson Collins once August drills begin. †

Bonner is married to the former Florence “Flossie” Black of Chester, S.C., also a graduate of Furman University. They are parents of two adult daughters and four grandchildren.

Dr. A. Frank Bonner, in his fifth year as the president of GardnerWebb University, took office on May 2, 2005, and was inaugurated on April 6, 2006.

Burch oversees all athletic operations at Gardner-Webb, including management and supervision of athletic programs, facilities and budgets.

National qualifiers in Track & Field, swimming and wrestling highlighted competitive success for the Bulldogs in 2006-2007. Burch, a graduate of Independence (N.C.)
