Gardner-Webb has seen 12 of its former players go on to sign free agent contracts or be drafted by National Football League teams. Former Bulldog Gabe Wilkins (pictured) won a Super Bowl with Green Bay in 1996, then signed a lucrative, four-year, $21 million contract with San Francisco in 1998. GWU has seen five players sign or be drafted since 2003, including 2007 draft pick Brian Johnston (Kansas City Chiefs).

Gardner-Webb has several coaching ties to the NFL as well. Former lineman Jim Washburn is heralded as one of the league’s top defensive line coaches, and is in his second season with the Eagles. Current GWU head coach Ron Dickerson, Jr., played in the NFL for the Kansas City Chiefs, and interned under former Tampa Bay head coach Tony Dungy. Defensive coordinator Tony Pierce also served as an intern in the NFL, and receivers coach Ron Dickerson, Sr., was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the early 1970s. Dickerson, Sr., has also helped develop 27 NFL draft picks during his college coaching career.

RON DICKERSON, JR. Head Coach University of Arkansas ‘ 96 Second Season
Ron Dickerson, Jr., is in his second year as head coach of the Gardner-Webb University football program, and will lead the Runnin’ Bulldogs onto the field with hopes of competing for a Big South Conference title in 2012 – 10 seasons after GWU won the league’s inaugural title in 2002. Dickerson’s first season saw the ‘Dogs improve in several areas, particularly the team’s dedication to a more physical style of play. Gardner-Webb had a 1,000-yard rusher for the first time since 2000 and had both a 1,000 and 500-yard rusher in the same backfield for the first time since the 1980s. Dickerson, 41, joined the GWU family after spending the previous three seasons as receivers coach at Ole Miss – playing a key role in the development of current NFL players Mike Wallace (Pittsburgh Steelers), Dexter McCluster (Kansas City Chiefs) and Shay Hodge (Cincinnati Bengals). All three earned All-SEC honors with Dickerson’s guidance, and Wallace has established himself as one of the top receivers in the National Football League – and played for the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011. During his three seasons with the Rebels, Dickerson helped one of his mentors, Houston Nutt, direct the squad to a pair of top-20 finishes, two nine-win seasons and consecutive wins in the AT&T Cotton Bowl – knocking off No. 8 Texas Tech following the 2008 season and No. 21 Oklahoma State the following year. In 2008, Ole Miss posted key wins over the previous two seasons’ national champions – beating No. 4 Florida and No. 18 LSU on the road. Dickerson is the first African-American head coach in the Big South Conference’s football history. He is the eighth head coach in 42 seasons of senior college football at Gardner-Webb. Prior to Ole Miss, Dickerson spent three seasons at Louisiana-Monroe (2005-2007) and three seasons at FCS member Missouri State (2002-2004). With ULM, he coached Calvin Dawson to first-team All-Sun Belt honors and a 1,000-yard season. At Missouri State, he saw pupil Cody Pratt post back-toback 1,000-yard seasons. Dickerson also spent time as an assistant coach at Alabama State (1997-1999) and Temple (1996-1997) and served as head coach at Fairfield High in Birmingham, Ala., during the 2000 season. In the professional ranks, Dickerson picked up valuable experience as an intern in 2001 under Coach Tony Dungy in Tampa Bay and as the running
21 2 1 21
backs and special teams coach for the XFL’s Las Vegas Outlaws in 2000. He coached future Carolina Panther Rod Smart during his time with the Outlaws. Dickerson’s success as a coach should not come as a surprise, as he excelled on the gridiron at the game’s highest levels as a player. He played in 15 games over two seasons for the Kansas City Chiefs, seeing his most extensive time as a kick returner – averaging 22 yards per return on 32 kickoffs during that time. Dickerson also spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles (1995) and the Scottish Claymores of NFL Europe (1996-1997). Dickerson starred at the University of Arkansas from 1989-1992, starting his career at running back before transitioning to receiver. He led the Razorbacks in receptions in 1991 and 1992 and finished his career with 2,355 all-purpose yards. His kickoff return ability still has Dickerson squarely in the Arkansas record books, with his average of 25.0 yards on 31 career returns ranking third in school history. Dickerson also lettered for the Razorbacks’ 1990 NCAA Indoor National Championship Track & Field squad as a jumper. He graduated in 1996 with a degree in Public and Commerical Recreation from Arkansas. Dickerson earned All-America honors in both football and track at State College (Pa.) High, and was ranked as one of the nation’s top 50 overall prospects on the gridiron and as one of the most sought after running backs in the nation in the Class of 1989. Football is a family affair for Dickerson. His father, Ron Dickerson, Sr., is woven deeply into the historic fabric of the game, having spent time as a reserve defensive back with the Miami Dolphins following a standout career at Kansas State. The elder Dickerson became the first African-American head coach in Division I-A when he took over at Temple in 1992 – and will serve as GardnerWebb’s receivers coach in 2012, his second year on staff. In addition to his coaching duties, the younger Dickerson is the founder and president of R.U.N.T – Recognizing Underdeveloped Natural Talents, a youth organization designed to improve opportunities for young people in and out of athletics. Dickerson and his wife, Kendreah, have two daughters, Kristen and Ashten, and a son, Keegan.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING Dexter McCluster, Kansas City Chiefs “If I could say one thing about Coach Dickerson it would be that he was not only my coach, but my friend. He treated me like his son. There are only a few people in my life that I can say that about. Coach D was always there for me and still is.”
Jim Caldwell, Former Head Coach, Indianapolis Colts “Ron is a man of integrity, character and strong Christian convictions. I have had the pleasure of watching him mature as a young man, excel as a collegiate student-athlete and flourish as a husband, father and coach. He has always been a natural leader and I am certain that Gardner-Webb student athletes will benefit greatly from his guidance.”
Houston Nutt, Former Head Coach, Ole Miss “I think Gardner-Webb hit a homerun today. They have a young man that is going to be a difference maker in the lives of young people. He is a fine Christian father, with a beautiful family, a family that will be involved in the community and a family that will be present in the eyes of an 18, 19, or 20-year old man. These young men are going to be better people, citizens, and football players after going through three, four or five years with Ron Dickerson, Jr. He is a man of great work ethic, a man of character, and he will be an outstanding leader.”
Shay Hodge, Cincinnati Bengals “I loved having Coach Dickerson as my coach at Ole Miss. He was not only a great coach but also like a dad to me. He taught me on the chalkboard, and also how to deal with the struggles of everyday life. He is a hard worker and a great leader.”
Mike Wallace, Pittsburgh Steelers “Coach D helped make me a better person and player. He is a great motivator. He really cares for his players. He showed me the way and I loved playing for him.”

TONY PIERCE Defensive Coordinator / Secondary Gettysburg College ‘83 Second Year
Tony Pierce is in his second season at Gardner-Webb University as the program’s defensive coordinator, and will also coach the safeties for the Runnin’ Bulldogs in 2012. In his first season, Gardner-Webb’s defense paced the Big South Conference in both sacks and tackles for loss, with defensive linemen Matt Goods and Preston Pemasa each earning first-team All-League honors. GWU ranked in the top-10 nationally in tackles for loss as well, pushing near the top of those statistical rankings early in the season and keeping the pressure on. The well-respected, experienced Pierce has over 25 years of coaching experience under his belt, including 20 in college football. His experience in the Football Bowl Subdivision includes time at BCS programs Georgia, Wake Forest, West Virginia and Pittsburgh – and he has served as an NFL intern coach with the Arizona Cardinals. His postseason experience is extensive, having coached on staffs for teams in the CarQuest Bowl, Insight.com Bowl and Music City Bowl – as well as a pair of SWAC championship games. Pierce spent the 2009 and 2010 seasons in the Football Championship Subdivision, coaching in 2010 at Valparaiso and in 2009 at Tennessee State. During his time at Tennessee State, Pierce coached running backs and served as the Tigers’ special teams coordinator, helping that squad to a win over No. 13 Eastern Illinois in the season finale. Pierce’s reputation as a strong defensive coordinator was cemented during an ultra-successful tenure at Alabama State, where he served for six seasons. His final defense finished ranked No. 19 nationally in 2008, allowing only 301.9 yards per game. Alabama State also finished ranked No. 12 nationally in fewest first downs allowed, No. 14 in tackles for loss, No. 15 in red zone defense, No. 26 in third down conversion defense and No. 29 against the run. In 2006, Pierce’s defense allowed only 276.2 yards per game and led the SWAC with an opponents’ third down conversion percentage of just 29.2 percent – which ranked seventh in the nation that season. Pierce was named America Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Division I-AA Assistant Football Coach of the Year in 2004, a season that his defense helped Alabama State to a 10-2 record and a win over Southern in the SWAC Championship Game. The Hornets ranked ninth nationally against the run (103.0 ypg) 17th in scoring defense (19.0 ppg) and 25th in sacks per game (1.33). Alabama State registered 76 tackles for loss that season as well. Alabama State’s defense forced 34 turnovers in 12 games, which ranked No. 7 among I-AA schools and helped the Hornets rank No. 6 in turnover margin. His defensive unit also ranked 13th nationally in rushing defense in 2003, as Alabama State won eight games during Pierce’s first season with the program. Pierce coached running backs at the University of Georgia from 2001-2002 and served one season as co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Wake Forest under current Indianapolis Colts’ head coach Jim Caldwell in 2000. He spent three seasons as an assistant coach at West Virginia (1997-1999), coaching the Mountaineers’ running backs from 1997-1998 and coaching the secondary in 1999. One of his running backs in Morgantown, Amos Zereoue, was a two-time All-America selection and NFL draft pick. Pierce has also served as an assistant coach at Pittsburgh (1995-96), Delaware State (1994), Bucknell (1990-1992) and St. Peter’s (1986-1987). He was head coach at Division III Oberlin College from 1992-1993. He earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Gettysburg (Pa.) College in 1983, where he was a standout defensive back – setting a school-record with 16 career interceptions. He graduated with a master’s degree in physical education, with a concentration in coaching and sports education from Montclair State in 1989. After his playing career at Gettysburg, Pierce signed a contract with the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL in 1984. The Newark, N.J., native and his wife, Michelle, have three children – Christian, Jordan and Alanna. Christian is a graduate of West Point and Jordan signed to play football at Air Force in 2011.

KURT BEATHARD Offensive Coordinator Towson ‘88 First Year
Kurt Beathard is in his first season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Gardner-Webb University, and brings a significant and impressive amount of experience on the college level into the program. Beathard spent 2007-2009 as an assistant coach under Ron Zook at the University of Illinois, working with receivers for two seasons and with the Illini quarterbacks in 2009. In 2008, Illinois boasted the Big Ten’s top-rated passing offense, averaging 269.3 yards per game with 22 touchdowns. Beathard tutored current NFL receiver Arrelious Benn to a fine season in 2008, with Benn hauling in 67 catches for 1,055 yards and three touchdowns. In 2007, Benn was a Freshman All-America selection and Big Ten Freshman of the Year. He was drafted in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft by Tampa Bay. Prior to his stint in the Big Ten, Beathard enjoyed an exceptional career as a coordinator in the Football Championship Subdivision. From 2003-2007 he directed the offense at Eastern Kentucky, helping the Colonels set single-season program records in 2005 for completions (234), passing attempts (413) and passing yards (3,119) – leading the Ohio Valley Conference in scoring (31.5 ppg), total offense (412.3 yards per game) and passing offensive (283.5 yards per game). Quarterback Josh Greco and receiver Andre Ralston were two of the four players that season to earn first-team All-OVC honors, with Greco earning OVC Offensive Player of the Year honors (2005) and finishing his career as the top passer in Eastern Kentucky history. Another Beathard protégé, quarterback Allan Holland, went on to become the third leading passer in EKU history and was named OVC Offensive Player of the Year the season after Beathard moved on to Illinois. Ralston finished his career as the program’s leader in both receptions and receiving yards. Tight end Patrick Bugg earned All-America honors in both 2005 and 2006 and two offensive linemen – Derek Hardman and Larry Turner – went on to play in the National Football League. Beathard also spent one season as offensive coordinator at Bucknell (2002) and was the offensive coordinator at Western Carolina from 1997-2002. During his time with the Catamounts, he was a key component in the production of former Carolina Panthers’ fullback Brad Hoover, who rushed for a WCU-record 1,663 yards in 1998. In 2000, Western Carolina had a pair of receivers top the 1,000-yard mark and quarterback David Rivers passed for 2,878 yards and a school-record 17 touchdowns that season. Rivers was selected to participate in the Blue-Gray All-Star Game and Senior Bowl following that season, and signed a free agent contract with the Atlanta Falcons. Beathard also has coaching stops on the college level at Pacific (1995-1996), Towson (1993-1995), Colgate (1993), Bloomsburg (Pa.) (1992-1993), James Madison (1991-1992) and Louisville (1989-1991). Beathard enjoyed a strong playing career at quarterback, beginning at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo before transferring to Saddleback Junior College and finishing at Towson State University during that program’s Division II era. During his two seasons at Towson, Beathard passed for 4,768 yards and 38 touchdowns – including a 40-of-51 effort against Lafayette that included 466 yards and four touchdowns. He helped the Tigers to the 1984 Division II playoffs and was drafted by the USFL’s Baltimore Stars. Beathard was inducted into Towson’s Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999. He led the Tigers to the NCAA Division II semifinals in 1984 and a final top-10 national ranking in 1985. Beathard is the son of legendary NFL general manager Bobby Beathard.

Gardner-Webb ‘03 11th Year
Former Bulldog linebacker Travis Cunningham is in his 11th season on the Gardner-Webb coaching staff, and remains in charge of the Bulldogs’ linebackers, traditionally one of the team’s best position groups. Cunningham has helped mold that group into one of the nation’s best during his time in Boiling Springs, with Marty Patterson earning preseason All-America honors in 2010, and Jeffery Williams and Mario Brown earning spots on several All-America teams leading a strong charge by the Gardner-Webb defense in the process. Williams, Brown and Patterson, have earned All-Big South Conference honors under Cunningham’s watch – and all three have been preseason Big South Defensive Player of the Year once. The 2012 season will mark just the second time in the history of the Big South that at least one Gardner-Webb linebacker has not graced the preseason All-Big South team – with Cunningham looking to replace three senior starters from his 2011 unit. A young, organized coach with a sound understanding of the game, Cunningham has served his alma mater well. 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. Under Cunningham’s guidance in 2002, Baucom earned first-team All-Big South honors and was named Big South Freshman of the Year after leading the league’s rookies with 75 total tackles. Cunningham, a native of Knoxville, Tenn., played two seasons at Gardner-Webb, making his mark as a long snapper and as a hardnosed special teams coverage man. Prior to enrolling at GardnerWebb, Cunningham was a standout in football and baseball at Powell (Tenn.) High in Knoxville. Cunningham graduated from Gardner-Webb in August, 2003, with an undergraduate degree in Physical Education. He and his wife, the

Hensell had previously been on staff’s that developed three All-America selections and two more high NFL draft picks. In 2010, Hensell served as assistant offensive line coach and offensive intern at the University of Tennessee, where he had the opportunity to coach center James Stone – who earned freshman All-America honors for the Vols. Hensell spent 2007-2009 on the staff at Ole Miss as well, working as assistant offensive line coach in 2008 and 2009. The Rebels were 9-4 in each of those seasons and won a pair of Cotton Bowls. In 2008, Ole Miss averaged 407.6 yards of total offense per game and 186.5 yards per game on the ground. Left tackle Michael Oher earned first-team All-America honors and was taken in the first round of the NFL

In all, Hensell has served on coaching staffs that have advanced to three bowl games – two Cotton Bowls and the Music City Bowl. He began his college coaching career at his alma mater, coaching outside linebackers and coordinating video at Franklin (Ind.) College in 2004. Hensell also served as a student assistant baseball coach during his time at Franklin, helping the team to a 29-15 record and a No. 24 national ranking in 2005. Following his time on staff at Franklin, Hensell moved on to coach quarterbacks at Wisconsin-River Falls in 2005 and 2006. Hensell started his career in coaching in 2003 at Decatur Central (Ind.) High, coaching quarterbacks following a career-ending injury on the college gridiron. As a student-athlete, Hensell played two sports at Franklin as a freshman, lining up at running back and receiver, and pitching for the Grizzlies’ baseball team. He helped the baseball squad to a 32-10 record as a freshman in 2002. That effort included a conference title and a No. 30 national ranking. Franklin also won a conference baseball championship in 2005. On the gridiron, Hensell played running back and receiver for two seasons for the Grizzlies, suiting up for former Gardner-Webb offensive coordinator Bill Unsworth in 2001 and 2002. He was a three-sport standout at New Prairie High, earning 10 letters while playing football, basketball and baseball.

Kansas State ‘71 Second Year
Ron Dickerson, Sr., is in his second season as an assistant coach at Gardner-Webb University, and first as receivers coach. Dickerson is part of the coaching staff of his son, Ron Dickerson, Jr., who is entering his second season in charge of the Runnin’ Bulldogs and following in the path of his father. The elder Dickerson comes to GWU after spending the 2010 season as head coach at NAIA member Lambuth (Tenn.) University. Dickerson, Sr., brings a tremendous amount of experience to the program, teaching and developing student-athletes at the highest levels of college football as both a position coach and coordinator. During that time, he has tutored 27 players that have gone on to play in the National Football League. Dickerson has also served as head coach at Temple (1992-1997) and Alabama State (1998-1999). He is a past president of the Black Coaches Association (BCA) and was the first African-American head coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A). His first coaching job came after an injury ended a promising professional career during the 1972 preseason with the Miami Dolphins, a team that went on to a historic, 16-0, season. The Dolphins drafted Dickerson in the seventh round of the 1971 NFL Draft out of Kansas State, where he was a standout cornerback. He coached in the secondary at his alma mater from 1972-1975, before going on to the University of Louisville for three seasons. Dickerson coached the secondary at Pittsburgh from 1978-81 - helping the Panthers to back-to-back 11-1 seasons in 1979 and 1980. The program was squarely in the national championship discussion both seasons. After a year away from the game, Dickerson returned to the sidelines as assistant head coach at Colorado (1982-84) before heading back to his home state to begin a successful career as secondary coach at Penn State. During his time in Happy Valley (1985-90), Dickerson helped the
Nittany Lions post a 53-17 record, including a 12-0 mark and a stirring, 14-10, Fiesta Bowl win over Miami (Fla.) to claim the 1987 National Championship. Four of his defensive backs went on to earn All-America honors and seven played in the NFL. Dickerson moved to the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1991, taking over as defensive coordinator at Clemson, where he orchestrated one of the best defensive units in the storied programs’ history in his first season. The 1991 Tigers won the program’s last ACC title with a 9-1 regular season mark. That season, Dickerson’s defense ranked No. 1 nationally against the run (61.0 ypg), No. 4 nationally in total defense and No. 10 in scoring defense. Seven of the top 10 tacklers on that 1991 defense went on to play in the NFL, including Ed McDaniel, Levon Kirkland, Chester McGlockton, Brenston Bucker and Wayne Simmons - with McGlockton and Simmons developing into first round picks. McDaniel, Kirkland and McGlockton each went on to play in the Pro Bowl. In 1992, Dickerson coached future NFL Pro Bowl safety Brian Dawkins, who was a freshman on that team. Dickerson was a three-year letterwinner at Kansas State, and still ranks third on the school’s single-season list with 19 passes defended in 1970. He also ranks among the school’s leaders with 162 career interception return yards (eight career interceptions), and was invited to play in the East-West Shrine Game and the College All-Star Game following his senior season. Dickerson’s head football coach as a four-sport star at Coraopolis (Pa.) High was future NFL head coach Foge Fazio. Dickerson graduated from Kansas State in 1971 with a degree in Physical Education. He and his wife, Jeannie, were married on February 1, 1969. They are the proud parents of two children, Ron, Jr., and Rashawn, and four grandchildren.

Arkansas ‘05 First Year
Kyle Dickerson is in his first season as an assistant coach at Gardner-Webb University, and will work with the team’s running backs. The Memphis, Tenn., native joined the Runnin’ Bulldogs after several seasons as a graduate assistant and intern in the powerful SEC, gaining valuable experience at Arkansas and Ole Miss over the past five seasons. Dickerson spent the past four seasons at Ole Miss, working as a graduate assistant from 2008-2010 and as an intern for the past two seasons. During that time with the Rebels, Dickerson worked with running backs and special teams, as well as assisting with a variety of other tasks in the program. During his time in Oxford, the Rebels advanced to a pair of Cotton Bowls and finished ranked in the top-25 following both the 2008 and 2009 seasons. In both 2008 and 2009, Ole Miss averaged over 400 yards of total offense per game. One of his pupils, running back Dexter McCluster, became the first back in SEC history to rush for more than 1,000 yards and post at least 500 yards receiving in the same season. McCluster went on to the NFL Draft following an MVP performance in the Cotton Bowl, going in the second round (36th pick) to Kansas City. Prior to joining the program at Ole Miss, Dickerson served as an offensive graduate assistant at his alma mater, Arkansas, from 2006-2008. He worked with the Razorbacks’ running backs and return specialists and helped tutor an all-star backfield that included current NFL stars Peyton Hillis, Felix Jones and Darren McFadden. McFadden and Jones each earned All-America status during Dickerson’s time with the Razorbacks, with McFadden finishing as the Heisman Trophy runner up following the 2006 and 2007 seasons. McFadden was named the Sporting News National Player of the Year in 2007, along with winning the 2007 Walter Camp Award as the nation’s top overall player. That year, he rushed for 1,830 yards and 16 touchdowns and accounted for 21 overall scores. McFadden went to the Oakland Raiders with the fourth overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Jones was a two-time All-America selection as a kick returner, and was a two-time All-SEC running back – earning those nods in 2006 and 2007. Jones
topped 1,000 yards in each of his last two seasons in Fayetteville and scored 31 touchdowns on the ground. He was an electric kickoff return man, however, returning four career kickoffs for touchdowns – including a pair of 100-yarders. Jones scored 46 career touchdowns during his time with the Razorbacks, and went in the second round to the Dallas Cowboys in the 2008 NFL Draft. Hillis was primarily a blocking back for McFadden and Jones during his time at Arkansas, but found the end zone 12 times in his four seasons with the Hogs. He was drafted in the seventh round by the Denver Broncos in the 2007 NFL Draft, and has flourished as one of the top big backs in the NFL with the Broncos and Cleveland Browns. Arkansas played in the Capital One Bowl and two Cotton Bowls during Dickerson’s time on staff in Fayetteville, and also played in the SEC title game once.

San Jose State ‘06 Third Year
Bobby Godinez is entering his third season as an assistant coach with the Gardner-Webb University football program, and his second full season at the team’s recruiting coordinator – a role in which he has excelled since taking over. Godinez will coach the GWU tight ends in 2012, his first season on the offensive side of the ball with the ‘Dogs. Godinez efforts on the recruiting trails have helped Gardner-Webb land two outstanding classes in a row, particulary the 2012 group. Over the past two seasons, Gardner-Webb has signed 16 student-athletes who earned All-State honors at some point during their respective high school careers. Gardner-Webb will suit up 12 players from Godinez’ native California in 2012 as well, including former FBS players Exavier Johnson (Utah State) and Aaron Huck (Nevada). Godinez coached the Gardner-Webb safeties in 2011, helping tutor Gianni Olivas to a team-high interception total for the second year in a row. Godinez coached the defensive line for Gardner-Webb during his first season with the program in 2010, molding Preston Pemasa into the 2010 Big South Freshman of the Year and first-team All-Big South selection. Godinez also helped pour the foundation for what is now one of the team’s strongest position groups, bringing along current veterans Maurice Dickson and Dylan Taylor – and working with 2010 redshirts Matt Goods and Tyler Hough-Jenkins. Godinez joined the Runnin’ Bulldogs from Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, Calif., where he was named co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach in January 2010.
Godinez served as the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach during the 2009 season at Pasadena City College, helping the squad to a No. 2 ranking defensively within the Northern Conference against the pass. He also helped coordinate the PCC special teams and coached a pair of junior college All-America selections. He also served as head coach at La Varne Lutheran (Calif.) High in 2008, leading the school to a league title and a No. 8 ranking among California small schools – and directed a squad that led the league in offense, defense and special teams. As a player, Godinez played safety at San Jose State under Hall of Famer Dick Tomey, earning Academic All-WAC honors twice and serving as a captain for the Spartans for two seasons. He signed a free agent contract with the NFL’s Washington Redskins in 2006, then founded and operated Optimal Sports Strength & Conditioning in January, 2007 – training players from the NFL and Major League Baseball. Godinez graduated from San Jose State with a B.A. in Sociology and a M.A. in Kinesiology and Sports Management. He and his wife, Jennifer, welcomed their first daughter, Payton, in January, 2011.

Gardner-Webb ‘71 Third Year
Jim Seacord is in his second season with Coach Ron Dickerson, Jr.’s staff, and his third season coaching at his alma mater overall. The veteran coach will coach the team’s defensive line in 2012, having also held that role in 2006. Seacord coached Gardner-Webb’s tight ends and coordinated the special teams in 2011. Before returning to Boiling Springs, Seacord spent four seasons as an assistant Strength & Conditioning coach at Notre Dame. While in South Bend, he helped train the Fighting Irish football program in addition to heading up the strength program for women’s rowing. The 1971 Gardner-Webb graduate served as the defensive line coach for the Runnin’ Bulldogs in 2006, where he helped develop future NFL draft pick Brian Johnston (Chiefs, 7th round, 2008) and mentored second-team All-Big South Conference end Thurston Lee. Johnston was the Big South’s Defensive Player of the Year that season, and earned FCS All-America honors from the Associated Press and the Football Gazette. Seacord logged more than 30 years experience coaching on the high school level in North and South Carolina. He was one of the most respected coaches in the Charlotte, N.C., high school ranks for more than two decades, serving as head coach at South Mecklenburg (N.C.) High from 1979-1985. During that time with the Sabres, he forged a 48-26 mark and led his squad to a 14-0 record and state title in 1981 – developing a team that is still considered one of the best in Mecklenburg County history. Seacord helped develop talentes such as NFL linebacker Roman Phifer
and Clemson tailback Stephen Griffin during his time at South Meck. After spending time in the college ranks on Coach Joe Morrison’s staff at South Carolina, Seacord returned to the high school ranks at Wilmington Hoggard (N.C.) High for three seasons (1986-1988) – before finding his way back to Charlotte. Seacord took over at brand new Providence (N.C.) High in 1989 and experienced tremendous success from 1989-2000. During that time he registered 50 wins and led the Panthers to playoff berths in 1993, 1995 and 1997. In 1997, Providence won the league title and finished with a solid 10-2 record. The Charlotte Observer named Seacord its 1997 Coach of the Year. He and his wife, Susan, are the parents of two adult daughters.

2012 OUTLOOK BOILING SPRINGS – With a rebuilding process well underway, Gardner-Webb head coach Ron Dickerson, Jr., has his sights set on a making marked improvement from his first season at the helm of the Runnin’ Bulldogs. With 19 starters returning overall, Dickerson has a level of experienced depth – pa particularly along both lines – that hasn’t been seen in Boiling Springs recently. The team’s line stre strength is a source of optimism, along with good depth at several other positions, but the second-year head he coach is quick to point out one area that must improve im for his squad to push to the top of the Big South Conference standings by season’s eend. Simply put: the Runnin’ Bulldogs Bulld must hang onto the football. In its four Big South losses las last season, Gardner-Webb turned the footbal football over 15 times. In its other seven games gam overall on the season, the ‘Dogs turn turned it over only four – with three of those miscues coming at FBS member Ohio in the second week of the season. The turnover margin for the season was only minus-1 overall, but ove opponents outscored ner-Webb 84-20 in points Gardoofff of turnovers for the season – a statistic of thatt hhaunted aunted GWU in each of its FCS llosses. T There here were bright spots in 2011 as well, and D ickerson hopes to build on th Dickerson those positives heading into 2012. The team’s appr approach last season was to be a more physical squad. On the field, that w was proven foot by its ability to run the football. GWU rushed for 1,832 yards as a team and produced its first 1,000-y 1,000-yard back since 2000. Gard Defensively, Gardner-Webb recorded a league-high 97 tackles behind the line of scrimm ge to account for 342 ma mage negative yards for opposing Th offenses. That total ranked No. 5 nationNC ally in NCAA DiviFCS and the sion I FCS, team’s 25 sacks m for minus-191 yards led the Big South.

QUARTERBACKS Perhaps the most intriguing battle for GardnerWebb offensively will be the one for the starting nod under center. The Runnin’ Bulldogs posted a team passer efficiency rating of just 101.48 last season, which ranked 110th out of 120 FCS programs in 2011. The passing game produced just eight touchdowns and 149.1 yards per game overall – numbers that the coaching staff expects to improve upon in 2012. The team’s most experienced quarterback – Chandler Browning (6-3, 245, RJr.) – made a move to linebacker prior to the start of fall camp, leaving three players with college experience to fight for the job. Lucas Beatty (6-2, 220, RFr.) split time with Browning last season, starting four games before missing the final two with an injury. Beatty was a strong game manager during his time as a starter, which included a 2-2 mark in league play with wins over Coastal Carolina and Charleston Southern. The Charlotte, N.C., native missed spring practice with an injury, but is expected back at full strength. Exavier Johnson (6-3, 223, RSr.) also battled injuries in his first season at Gardner-Webb, playing in just two games after coming in as a high regarded player from the junior college ranks. Blessed with a strong arm and good instincts, Johnson spent two seasons at FBS member Utah State before an outstanding 2010 season at Pierce (Calif.) College in Los Angeles. Jordan Paul (6-3, 196, So.) moved back from receiver during spring practice and proved to be a quick study under new coordinator Kurt Beathard. The team’s most agile quarterback, Paul was sharp during the 2012 spring game and was the starter in that contest. The Brooklyn, N.Y., native – who caught more passes than any returning receiver from last season – is a true dual threat at the quarterback position. The only newcomer in the quarterback room is Nat Dunlap (6-2, 182, RFr.), who redshirted last season after leading Albemarle (N.C.) High to a pair of Class 1A state titles.
RUNNING BACKS Gardner-Webb had its share of injury problems at running back in 2011, but Kenny Little (5-11, 208, RSr.) fought through to finish with a career-high 1,042 yards and seven touchdowns in only nine games. His 115.8 yards per game ranked No. 14 nationally and second in the Big South, and earned him second-team All-Big South honors. The Flanders, N.J., veteran is a preseason All-Big South Conference choice and will look to become only the second back in Gardner-Webb history to post backto-back seasons with 1,000 yards or more. Juanne Blount (5-9, 201, RSo.) returns after missing the final 10 games of the 2011 campaign
2012 OUTLOOK with an injury, and has used his time off to bulk up considerably. The shifty Blount was the team’s second-leading rusher as a freshman in 2010 and ran for 102 yards in last season’s opener before going down with an injury in that game. A standout triple-option quarterback at Forest Hills (N.C.) High, Blount rushed for 5,392 yards and 84 touchdowns during his prep career. Speedy J.J. Hubbard (5-8, 170, So.) also returns after averaging 4.0 yards per carry in limited action last season – but will likely be one of the team’s primary kickoff return men. Hubbard took a kick 79 yards to the house in last season’s finale at VMI and is a gifted return man and a receiver in addition to his abilities between the tackles. The optimism surrounding the running back position goes farther than the returning talent, however. Gardner-Webb added two of the state’s top running backs in February, signing standouts Dee Littlejohn (6-1, 225, Fr.) and Demetrius Fairley (511, 195, Fr.). Littlejohn rumbled and dashed for 2,072 yards and 36 touchdowns as a senior for Lincolnton (N.C.) High last season, leading the Wolves to a spot in the Class 2A state championship game. Littlejohn, considered one of the state’s top-50 prospects by several publications, ran for a county-record 4,296 yards in less than three seasons as a starter. Fairley, who was courted by several FBS programs, also led his high school team to the state finals in 2011, starring at Garner (N.C.) High. Also a powerful runner, Fairley carried 196 times for 1,678 yards and 16 scores to pace the Trojans to the Class 4A title game. He originally committed to Western Michigan of the MAC prior to his senior season and drew interest from several BCS level programs. Another freshman, diminutive Dinkin Miller (58, 170, Fr.), also brings outstanding credentials to the mix. Miller collected 2,570 yards and 26 touchdowns last season at West Rowan (N.C.) High, leading the Falcons to a 12-4 record and a spot in the Class 3A finals.
OFFENSIVE LINE If the excitement level has risen surrounding Gardner-Webb’s running backs, a primary reason is the quality, experience and depth of the offensive line assembled in Boiling Springs. Six players – five seniors – return with starting experience. Three of those seniors – left guard Jamie Dunaway (6-3, 290, Sr.), right tackle Steve Demilio (6-5, 293, RSr.) and left tackle Harrison Martin (6-6, 285, RSr.) – each earned first-team preseason All-Big South honors from Phil Steele’s FCS Football Preview Magazine. That trio started all 11 games last season, and Dunaway has made 33 consecutive starts. Center Austin Sargent (6-3, 302, Sr.) is a strong option over the ball, and should challenge for All-Big South honors in 2012. Veterans Jeff Harris (6-2, 292,
RJr.) and Aaron Huck (6-3, 296, RSr.) have plenty of experience at right guard – and both earned starting assignments in 2011. David McConnell (6-5, 304, RSo.) graded out at 100 percent in limited action at tackle last season, and was perhaps the team’s most improved linemen during spring practice. The Runnin’ Bulldogs were able to redshirt several talented newcomers in 2011, and those youngsters will provide outstanding depth across the line. Tackle Matt McAlvin (6-5, 280, RFr.) and center/ guard Ashanti McPhee (6-3, 306, RFr.) were both heavily courted by FBS programs following their senior seasons and each are capable of making an impact for the Runnin’ Bulldogs when called upon. Guard Alvaro Estrella (6-2, 308, RFr.) transferred in from Fresno State in June after redshirting with that program last season. Estrella was offered by Gardner-Webb and Hampton as a high school senior before deciding to enroll at Fresno State. A trio of highly-regarded true freshman also joined the program, with Dylan Hopper (6-4, 295, Fr.), Caleb Smith (6-3, 290, Fr.) and David Sutton (6-3, 314, Fr.) each signing with the ‘Dogs in February. Smith and Sutton each earned All-State honors in South Carolina last season, and Hopper was considered one of the top senior linemen in North Carolina in the Class of 2012. Another freshman, guard Dewayne Wray (6-0, 278, Fr.) started at both guard and tackle for state power Gaffney (S.C.) High before joining the team for camp in early August.
RECEIVERS Gardner-Webb’s top returning producer at the receiver position caught just seven passes in 2011 and that player – Jordan Paul – is now in the mix for the starting spot at quarterback. Of the players who saw action last season at the position, just nine catches return. The Runnin’ Bulldogs caught a major break following spring practice, when veteran Marquis Sanders (5-11, 185, Gr.) was granted a sixth season by the NCAA. The Mt. Holly, N.C., speedster has long been considered one of the team’s fastest players – with injuries hampering seasons in 2010 and 2011. Sanders, who has been timed at 10.8 seconds in the 100m dash, posted a 41-inch vertical jump during spring workouts and is back at full speed after missing the final nine games of the 2011 campaign. His best season came in 2009, when he caught 36 passes for 459 yards and two touchdowns – narrowly missing out on All-Big South Conference accolades. Sanders is joined by third-year competitors Richard Jules (6-0, 174, Jr.) and Deonte Swinton (6-1, 189, RSo.) as the unit’s core of experience. Jules caught six passes for 47 yards last season and Swinton hauled in one pass for eight yards, although both had solid showings during spring practice. A player who has created considerable buzz since
43
joining the program last August is Carlton Heard (60, 184, RFr.), and much is expected of the newcomer in 2012. The Athens, Ga., native entered the Gardner-Webb program when camp started in 2011 as a preferred walk-on and, after a week of preseason camp, had performed at such a high level he was extended a scholarship. Heard continued his progression throughout his redshirt season, and was a bright spot for the squad during spring practice. Classmate Stanley Fleurant (6-3, 192, RFr.) is another former high school sprinter who should challenge for immediate playing time, and has outstanding size. Floridians Jordan Jones (6-4, 202, Fr.) and Rodney Watson (5-9, 185, RSo.) should also factor into the mix early. Jones played a postgraduate year at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy after starring at Tampa Catholic (Fla.) High, and has a combination of size and strength that should give him an edge in the red zone. Watson transferred from USF in June, and will work at both running back and receiver. He is the younger brother of former Carolina Panther Rod Smart and current Pittsburgh Steeler Chris Rainey. Junior college transfer Kenny Cook (6-4, 216, RSo.) joined the team in January, and was one of the team’s most explosive players during spring practice. Two other newcomers also have the potential to play early. Josh Thompson (6-4, 188, Fr.) is a gifted athlete with tremendous size and speed (4.53 seconds in the 40). Geo Hillsman (6-1, 187, Fr.) was a standout on both sides of the football at Crestview (Fla.) High and is a potential game breaker.
TIGHT ENDS Hudson Smith (6-1, 245, RJr.) has found a permanent home at tight end after playing all over the field in his first two seasons with the Runnin’ Bulldogs. He leads a versatile group at tight end and, as his career to date has shown, is the most multi-talented of the group heading into 2012. Smith, who has started games at defensive end and running back, as well as earning All-Big South honors at long snapper in 2010, is a stout blocker who has also shown a good knack for route running and hauling in passes. Converted receiver Seth Cranfill (6-4, 230, RSo.) is perhaps the team’s most dangerous threat in the passing game at the tight end spot, and will get a chance to prove his worth early in 2012. The former Bandys (N.C.) High star will likely be the man to join Smith in two-tight end sets. Formerly an agile offensive lineman, Don Manning (6-1, 262, RJr.) brings his physical blocking to the tight end position in 2012. The Gaffney, N.C., native is a strong, agile player who should benefit an already strong GWU rushing attack. Another potential powerhouse as a blocker is
2012 OUTLOOK to start, and agile enough to try his hand at linebacker during spring practice. Kapono Asuega (6-0, 255, Sr.) returns as another experienced option at tackle. If an official survey had been commissioned of coaches and players following spring practice, the name most frequently mentioned as most impressive would likely have been end Shaquille Riddick (6-7, 235, So.). The Akron, Ohio, native moved quickly into a starting role at the rush end spot vacated by fouryear starter Jordan Woods and showcased his ability in the 2012 spring game by collecting nine tackles and five tackles for loss. Riddick packed on 20 pounds since arriving on campus last August, and is expected to push for All-Big South honors in the near future. Rangy former tight end Albert Doyle (6-5, 229, RFr.) moved over to defense after the start of August camp to provide depth and Gardner-Webb will look for a push inside from talented newcomer O.J. Le’Itaua Mau (6-2, 275, Fr.). Mau, who traveled nearly 10,000 miles from Masefau, American Samoa, to join his teammates in August, could wind up at defensive end at times, but is more likely ready to make a serious push for playing time at tackle – where his combination of brute power and quickness is already very effective. The only other newcomer on the defensive line, end Arlando Griffin (6-4, 220, Fr.), also has a bright future with the Runnin’ Bulldogs. Theo Johnson (6-4, 276, Sr.), who moved over from defensive end midway through the 2011 season. The Los Angles, Calif., native worked hard at his new position during spring practice, and could be a surprise at the position. Newcomers Mike Estes (6-4, 227, Fr.) and Cameron Martin (6-4, 223, Fr.) each have bright futures, with Estes one of the team’s top February additions after catching 42 passes for 602 yards and seven touchdowns last season at Athens Drive (N.C.) High.
FULLBACKS An often underrated position in Gardner-Webb’s success running the football is fullback, where the Runnin’ Bulldogs are looking to replace a burly blocker in Luke Stein (6-2, 255), who graduated in May. Earnest Harmon (5-11, 220, RSo.) transferred into the program in January from Ole Miss and earned the starting spot following spring practice, but will be pushed by returning letterwinner and former linebacker Jonathan Langston (5-10, 211, RJr.) and newcomer Matt Hutchison (6-0, 280, Fr.). Hutchison starred at Crestview (Fla.) High, where he rumbled for 464 yards on just 43 carries in 2011 and caught four passes for 66 yards to earn first-team All-Area honors.
DEFENSIVE LINEMEN Depth on the line isn’t limited to the offensive side of the football in Boiling Springs. The team’s defensive front boasts experienced, talented depth too – with two preseason All-Big South Conference selections in Matt Goods (6-2, 275, RJr.) and Preston Pemasa (6-2, 257, Jr.) and five players with starting experience. Goods, the 2009 Big South Freshman of the Year, and Pemasa, the 2010 Big South Freshman of the Year, formed an outstanding 1-2 punch for the ‘Dogs last season – helping the team lead the league in tackles for loss and sacks. Dylan Taylor (6-0, 257, Gr.) received his undergraduate degree just after camp started in early August and is a returning starter inside with a high motor. May graduate Maurice Bryan (6-2, 271, Gr.) is another experienced tackle who is a key cog in a veteran rotation that should keep the trenches fresh. Maurice Dickson (6-4, 265, Jr.) and Tyler HoughJenkins (6-4, 281, RSo.) each have the tools to line up at either end or tackle – and excel against the run and pass. Dickson, a preseason All-Big South selection by Phil Steele’s FCS Football Preview Magazine, collected 10.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks last season as a part-time starter. End Zach Shelton (6-1, 244, RJr.) is good enough

LINEBACKER The absence of a Gardner-Webb linebacker on the 2012 preseason All-Big South team marks just the second time in 10 years that a Runnin’ Bulldog has not been on that list at the position, and the first time since 2006. The Runnin’ Bulldogs must replace three senior starters from the 2011 campaign, included threetime All-Big South standout Marty Patterson and his league-best 102 total tackles. The linebackers available to the coaching staff in 2012 may be inexperienced compared to previous years, but the talent of that youthful group is reason for optimism. Returners Tanner Burch (6-3, 242, So.), Brian Wittenberger (6-2, 232, RJr.) and Bradley Taylor (61, 221, So.) are expected to be in the starting lineup when the season begins, with Wittenberger the most experienced of that trio – despite missing all of last season. The Gaithersburg, Md., standout started five games in 2010 and finished with a career-high 55 total tackles, one sack and an interception. Burch was a heavily recruited prospect out of Savannah Christian (Ga.) School, earning Georgia Class A State Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2009. Taylor is one of the Big South’s fiercest hitters. Both gained valuable playing time as true freshmen a year ago. Two other veterans will be pushing for play-

Former starting quarterback Chandler Browning (63, 245, RJr.) will compete for early playing time at middle linebacker after moving over to defense prior to the start of August camp. Both have the size and physical ability to perform well in their new roles. Gardner-Webb’s depth will come from its recruiting class, with the linebacker position a point of emphasis in February. All-State safety Chad Geter (6-2, 220, Fr.) starred at Dutch Fork (S.C.) High, and has grown into the linebacker position since signing with the ‘Dogs. Azziz Higgins (6-2, 225, Fr.) and Jebrai Regan (6-2, 222, Fr.) each have strong credentials and are physical tacklers. Milton Williams (6-1, 225, Fr.) was considered an FBS level recruit heading into his respective senior seasons, and is a hard-nosed tackler. Local product Michael Cunningham (6-0, 210, Fr.) was an All-State linebacker at Lincolnton (N.C.) High, where he showcased his athletic ability by returning six punts and kickoffs for touchdowns over his final two high school seasons.
CORNERBACKS Gardner-Webb returns just one starter at cornerback for 2012, with All-Big South candidate Keon Williams (6-0, 170, Jr.) taking on the role of veteran leader for a young group. Another All-Big South candidate, Ivan Toomer (6-1, 193, So.) will redshirt this season, leaving the starting spot opposite Williams up for grabs. Kamar Morrison (5-10, 167, Sr., Inglewood, Calif.) is the lone returning letterwinner with game

De La Salle on the high school level and 2011 national champion City College of San Francisco on the junior college level. Talented rookies Jonathan Sherrill (6-3, 196, Fr.) and Brandaun Addison (5-11, 170, Fr.) will add needed depth in 2012. Sherrill starred on both sides of the football at Lincolnton (N.C.) High and has exceptional size for a cover man. He broke up 12 passes as a senior for the Wolves last season. Addison was also a multi-position standout in high school, leading Easley (S.C.) High to an 11-2 record and one of the biggest turnarounds in South Carolina prep history over his final two seasons. The speedy Addison totaled 1,488 all-purpose yards as a senior, including a 92-yard kickoff return for a score and a 62-yard interception return.
SAFETIES Third-year starter Gianni Olivas (5-10, 192, Jr.), who earned preseason All-Big South honors from College Sports Madness heading into 2012, anchors the back line of defense for Gardner-Webb in the secondary. The Upland, Calif., native will start again at strong safety and is a physical tackler who has a team-high seven interceptions over the past two seasons. Converted running back Bobby Clark (5-11, 189, So.) is expected to start the season at free safety, after playing both safety and running back as a true freshman last season. Returning letterwinner Donald Buie III (6-0, 196, So.) was a regular in the rotation last season and provides experienced depth,

Brandon Swayze (6-2, 190, Fr.) earned Region Defensive Player of the Year honors and All-Mid State Tennessee honors at Independence (Tenn.) High last season, and is another newcomer expected to have an impact on the rotation at safety.
SPECIALISTS Gardner-Webb is blessed with one of the Football Championship Subdivision’s top kickers in AllBig South selection Trever Austin (5-10, 194, So.), who led the Big South with 12 field goals as a true freshman – while also pacing the league in field goal and PAT accuracy. The Shelby, N.C., native was at his best in a 2624 win at Coastal Carolina on October 22, booting home four field goals and winning the game with his final kick as time expired. That weekend earned Austin national recognition, and he built upon that performance to earn second-team All-Big South honors at season’s end. Austin was named to the Fred Mitchell Award Watch List in late July and was a preseason honorable mention All-America selection by Beyond Sports Network that same month. Bo Lindsey (5-11, 155, Sr.) has bided his time since joining the program four years ago, and is in line for the starting spot at punter heading into 2012. The former Dorman (S.C.) High standout is more than capable, and will also continue his role as Austin’s holder and as a kickoff specialist when needed.

DR. FRANK BONNER
Dr. A. Frank Bonner, in his eighth year as the president of Gardner-Webb University, took office on May 2, 2005, and was inaugurated on April 6, 2006. Bonner is no stranger to Gardner-Webb, having been a part of the University family since 1987. In 1987, Bonner came to Gardner-Webb as Vice President for Academic Affairs. His role later evolved into Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, and then Provost and Senior Vice President. He was named President in May 2005 and took office on July 1. Bonner has been heavily involved in accreditation work through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), serving on 31 accreditation committees, including 22 as committee chair. He has also chaired four NCAA Division I Recertification visiting committees. Bonner currently serves on the Board of the SACS Commission on Colleges; he is Vice President of the Big South Conference, Vice Chair/Chair Elect of the International Association of Baptist Colleges and Universities, and a member of the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities. While at Gardner-Webb, Bonner has remained active in civic affairs, currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Boy Scouts of America Piedmont Council. He is a past chair of the Cleveland County Chamber, a Rotary past President, a previous Paul Harris Fellow, and he has been a board member for numerous organizations. He is a member of First Baptist Church, Shelby, where he teaches Sunday School and serves as a Deacon. After twenty-two years in the United States Army Reserve, Bonner retired at the rank of Colonel. A native of Greenville, S.C., Bonner graduated from Furman University in 1969. Coincidentally, his major professor was Dr. Phil L. Elliott, son of the legendary president of Gardner-Webb from 1943 until 1961, Phillip Lovin Elliott. After Furman, Bonner earned the M.A. from the University of Georgia in 1971, and the Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1977. His specialty is Victorian literature, primarily the poetry of Alfred Tennyson, and eighteenth-century British literature, with a special interest in Jonathan Swift. In 1974, Bonner began his academic career as a faculty member at Anderson University in Anderson, South Carolina. He was particu-
larly active in civic life in Anderson, most notably as chairman of the Board of Trustees for Anderson County School District Five. Bonner was assigned various administrative responsibilities at Anderson and, immediately prior to coming to Gardner-Webb, was Associate Dean for Special Programs. Bonner is married to Florence Dell (Flossie) Black of Chester, South Carolina, also a Furman graduate. She is a retired high school mathematics teacher. They have two daughters, Alison Bonner Dalton of Charlotte, North Carolina, and Florence Bonner Crawford of Fort Myers, Florida. The Bonners have several grandchildren.

CHUCK BURCH
Gardner-Webb alumnus Chuck Burch is in his 16th year as Vice President for Athletics and his 29th year in athletics administration. The Charlotte, N.C., native spearheaded the Bulldogs move into Division I athletics, which resulted in Gardner-Webb’s addition to the Big South Conference as an associate member for football in 2001, and GWU's move to the Big South as a full member – which became official on July 1, 2008. Burch oversees all athletic operations at Gardner-Webb, including management and supervision of athletic programs, facilities and budgets. During his career at GWU, Burch has overseen across-the-board improvements in athletics facilities and the addition of five new sports since arriving in 1997. A sixth sport, men's swimming, was added in 2007-08. Burch is also responsible for continued improvements in the quality and quantity of Gardner-Webb’s athletics staff – with a number of full-time positions created to assist and enhance the entire department. GWU athletics has seen a steady increase in academic performance since Burch's arrival, and the department has posted a combined GPA above 3.0 in each of the last five academic years. In 2009-2010, Gardner-Webb posted its highest finish in the annual Big South Conference Sasser Cup, taking No. 4 in the final standings of the all-sports race. The women’s basketball team captured its first Big South Tournament title, advancing to the first round of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship Tournament. Two other teams – women’s soccer and baseball – advanced to the league tournament title game in their respective seasons as well. Gardner-Webb's final year in the Atlantic Sun Conference was fruitful, with several notable wins and the usual high number of strong
academic performances by the Bulldogs' student-athletes. GWU enjoyed its most successful athletics year as a Division I member in 2006-07. Gardner-Webb won its first Atlantic Sun Conference Academic Championship, unseating Belmont University for the title. The Bulldogs also finished third in the men's and women's combined sports standings – a very impressive effort in the race for the inaugural Bill Bibb Trophy. Gardner-Webb's men's soccer team captured the imagination of fans across Cleveland County during its run to the 2006 A-Sun Championship and NCAA Tournament second round. National qualifiers in Track & Field, swimming and wrestling highlighted competitive success for the Bulldogs in 2006-2007. Burch, a graduate of Independence (N.C.) High in Charlotte, and former member of Gardner-Webb’s football and tennis teams, spent 1991-1997 as Director of Athletics at Liberty (Va.) University, and was instrumental in a successful and well run department in Lynchburg as well. He also served Liberty as Associate Director of Athletics (1988-1990), Assistant Director of Athletics (1984-1988), Sports Information Director (1986-1988) and Assistant Director of Sports Information (1982-1984). After graduating from Gardner-Webb in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in Social Science, Burch, 54, earned his master's degree from Eastern Kentucky University in 1982. His wife, Franki, holds a Ph.D. in Health Education from the University of Virginia, and is Associate Provost for Professional and Graduate Studies at Gardner-Webb. The couple has three children, Travis; Danielle, a 2012 graduate of Brevard College; and Amy, a freshman soccer player at High Point University.
