SERIES HISTORY
Howard leads the series with NSU 18-9, with three NSU wins vacated. NSU has scored 94 points in the last two games, a pair of wins at Howard in 2019 and 2021, and the Spartans have won three straight in the series overall.
The Spartans racked up 536 yards of total offense in a 45-31 win over the Bison in the last meeting, on Oct. 23, 2021 in Washington, D.C. Juwan Carter passed for 332 yards and completed a school-record 21 consecutive passes. Cameryn Brent rushed for two touch downs and 99 yards for NSU.
BUTLER FINDS A HOME
NSU redshirt sophomore Chris But ler has bounced back and forth be tween receiver and running back during his Spartan tenure, but seems to have found a home at wideout. The native of Glen Allen, Virginia, has nine catches for 159 yards and a touchdown in his last two games. He hauled in six passes for 88 yards, both career highs, in the win at Morgan State.
In his last outing, Butler had three catches for 71 yards and one TD, a 42yard catch, against Delaware State. It was his first career touchdown.
Butler current ranks eighth in the MEAC with 247 receiving yards this sea son.
NSU junior Tyler Long has been racking up the tackles of late. More on the standout linebacker:
• Long is first in the MEAC and 27th in all of the Division I FCS with 65 total tackles in seven games.
• He has reached double figures three times, with 11 at Marshall, a then careerhigh tying 12 against St. Francis and a career-high 13 at Sacred Heart.
• Long also leads NSU and is fifth in the MEAC with 3.0 sacks on the year.
YOUTH IS SERVED
After losing more than 30 letterwin ners from last year’s team, the Spartans have welcomed in more than 40 new comers this season. That has led to a youth movement of sorts for the Spar tans.
• To date, 14 true freshmen and 13 red shirt freshmen have played in at least one game for NSU.
• Two true freshmen have started so far in OL Vincent Byrd Jr. and Lamar Rob inson.
• Redshirt freshmen to start so far include TE Ikeem Wright, OL Baron Franks, DL Levontae Jacobs and DE T.J. Steven son.
• True freshmen were NSU’s leading rushers twice in the last four games. Ja son Wonodi led the way with 81 yards against St. Francis, all on a third-quarter
TD run. Kevon King ran four times for 36 yards and a TD at Morgan State. • Freshmen have accounted for five of NSU’s 10 touchdowns the last four games: Jordin Lennon and Wonodi scored against St. Francis, Lennon and redshirt freshman Ikeem Wright at Sa cred Heart, and King at Morgan State.
OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS
Injuries have paved the way for more players to get opportunities to prove themselves. One such player is sopho more defensive back Pierre Royster. Royster got the start at Morgan State and registered two tackles for loss, including a sack. Against Delaware State, the local product from Lake Taylor notched seven tackles, a new career high.
BY LAND AND BY AIR
NSU has shown the ability to move the ball in different ways the last few games. The Spartans ran for more than 200 yards in back-to-back games against St. Francis and Sacred Heart, including a season-high 254 against St. Francis. Against Sacred Heart, six different play ers logged carries, with four rushing for at least 38 yards.
Against Morgan State, the Spartans passed for a season-high 291 yards, including a career-best 288 by Otto Kuhns. Da’Quan Felton (eight) and
Chris Butler (six) had career highs in receptions. Kuhns and company then passed for 258 yards in the game with Delaware State.

DawsonOdums, a championship coach with a track record of developing student-athletes both on and off the field during his collegiate coaching career, is in his second year as the head football coach at Norfolk State University. He was named the 18th head coach in Spartan history on April 21, 2021.
Odums led NSU to a successful campaign in his first season in charge. The Spartans went 6-5 in 2021, which included a six-game winning streak that was the program’s longest since 1984. Officially, the 2021 season marked NSU’s first winning ledger since 2007.
A balanced, high-powered offense was NSU’s calling card in 2021. NSU averaged 33.2 points per game, most in its Division I history and third-most in school annals, while averaging a MEAC-high 440.5 yards per game – another school D-I record. That included 212.2 rushing yards per game, second-best in program history and the most since 1984.
The Spartans had a school-record 18 players earn All-MEAC honors following the 2021 season. That included NSU capturing three of the MEAC’s top awards – Offensive Player of the Year (Juwan Carter), Rookie of the Year (J.J. Davis) and Offensive Lineman of the Year (Justin Redd).
A native of Shelby, North Carolina, Odums has more than 20 years of collegiate coaching experience. Most recently, Odums enjoyed a stellar 10-year run in the Southwestern Athletic Conference at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Odums directed Southern
to a winning record in each of his eight full seasons at the helm of the program, including a 5-1 mark in the abbreviated 2021 spring season. In his last five seasons, the Jaguars posted a 29-6 SWAC record. His overall record with the Jaguars was 63-35.
After joining the Jaguars as defensive line coach in 2011, Odums was elevated to interim head coach two games into the 2012 season before earning the permanent head coach position following the year. On the field, Odums led Southern to a 53-17 SWAC mark over the last nine seasons. His ledger includes one SWAC championship (2013), one SWAC Coach of the Year honor (2013) and four SWAC West Division titles (2013, ‘14, ‘18, ‘19).
Odums’ teams at Southern excelled in all three phases of the game. In the 2021 spring season, Southern ranked first nationally in blocked punts, second in third-down conversions, fifth in sacks and eighth in scoring offense. Southern finished the year ranked 20th in the FCS Top 25 Coaches Poll. Defensive end Jordan Lewis brought distinction to the Jaguars by winning the Buck Buchanan Award, given annually to the top defensive player in the Division I FCS. Lewis, who led the country in sacks and tackles for loss, also won SWAC Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Southern posted top-20 total offenses in 2015 and 2016 and a No. 13 mark in rushing offense en route to a SWAC West title in 2019. Odums’ squads ranked in the top 10 in the FCS in punt return average four times, including leading the country in 2017, and also ranked top-10 in kickoff return average twice.
The 2013 season was a special one for Odums. His first full year as head coach at Southern culminated in a double-overtime SWAC championship game victory over Jackson State. The win made Odums just the second coach in Southern history to win a SWAC divisional title, outright SWAC championship and SWAC Coach of the Year honors in his first year as head coach.
The Jaguars went 9-4 that year, one of four seasons in which they won at least eight games on Odums’ watch. They also won nine games and captured the divisional title the following year, 2014.
Seven players coached by Odums have signed with teams in the NFL or CFL. That list includes SWAC all-time leading rusher Lenard Tillery and Southern’s all-time leader in receiving yards and return touchdowns, Willie Quinn. That list includes two-time All-MEAC defensive end De’Shaan Dixon,
Odums’ other coaching stints include a pair of stops in the MEAC. He spent three seasons at North Carolina A&T (2008-10), serving first as defensive line coach and special teams coordinator and then as defensive coordinator.
Odums’ first stint in the MEAC came as defensive line coach at Bethune-Cookman from 2005-07. Over Odums’ three-year span there, the Wildcats run defense was among the stingiest in the MEAC. In 2007, the Wildcats defense ranked third in the conference in rush defense and third in total defense. Odums also worked with the Wildcats special teams units and scouted opposing teams’ special teams personnel.
Prior to arriving at Bethune-Cookman, Odums spent three seasons at Division II Clark Atlanta. He served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator from 200203, then as interim head coach in 2004.
Odums’ other stints at the Division I level include two years at Georgia Southern and one at Gardner-Webb. In his first year at GSU in 2000, Odums coached the linebackers while helping the Eagles win the Division I-AA (now FCS) national championship. He then mentored the defensive ends in his second year.
Odums played linebacker and quarterback at Crest High School in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, before competing collegiately at North Carolina Central. A defensive lineman at NCCU, Odums was a team captain and All-CIAA selection as a senior. He earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1997.
Odums and his wife, Audrey, have two daughters, Jasmine and Jaiden.
