SEASON PREVIEW

Fowler, Texans eye return to top of LSC Standings, beyond

Cary Fowler and the Texans will look to return to their LSC Championship status of 2013 and make a triumphant return to the NCAA playoffs.

n his sixth season at the helm of Tarleton Texan football, head coach Cary Fowler feels his 2015 squad has the experience and talent to build off last year’s 5-5 campaign and contend in the Lone Star Conference this season. In 2014, four of the Texans’ five losses were decided by a touchdown or less and with 11 starters returning (seven offensive, four defensive) and five preseason All-Americans on the roster, the expectations don’t seem far-fetched. “Did things end last year the way we wanted them to end? No. But this is a process and we’re not looking back,” said Fowler. “We’ve been through an offseason with Coach (Rod) Cole—who I believe is the greatest strength coach in the country—and we’ve seen a change

in these kids’ bodies to prepare for the season. I’m excited about the upcoming year.” The Tarleton offense averaged 522.8 yards per game in 2014, ranking third in the nation. Running back Zach Henshaw, offensive lineman Nick Perez and wide receivers Bubba Tandy and Le’Nard Meyers return as preseason All-America selections to help bolster the Texans’ highoctane offense. Also returning offensively is sophomore quarterback Zed Woerner. In his first career start, Woerner broke the Tarleton school record for passing yards in a game by throwing for 470 yards on 41 of 56 passing against Texas A&M-Commerce. The mastermind behind Tarleton’s prolific offense is associate head coach

Mason Miller, who begins his second season with the Purple and White and his first as offensive coordinator. With all of the offensive playmakers the Texans have returning, Miller says there will be a lot of similarities to last year’s offense, which is encouraging for Tarleton fans and a constant nightmare for opposing defenses. “We won’t do a lot of things different [on offense] except maybe the pace in which we play—we’re going to play a little faster and go at a high rate of speed,” said Miller. “Anytime you get a guy back at quarterback, it’s a blessing. Along with those five offensive lineman, it helps out everything.” Despite Tarleton allowing 448.5 yards per game to opponents last

SEASON PREVIEW controlling the secondary and Cody Marley at linebacker. But there’s plenty of underclassman to add in the mix, too, with preseason All-America selection sophomore Chase Varnado and redshirt freshman EJ Speed both lined up at defensive end along with sophomore linebacker Dakota Hesskew. “We’re pretty optimistic about this season, despite the preseason rankings (Tarleton was picked to finish fourth), because the Lone Star Conference has never had a repeat champion,” said Moore. “Every one of the teams in this league are very tough and every game is up in the air.” Something all teams covet is depth, and Tarleton has plenty of it. The Texans return 46 letter winners for last year’s team, so finding snaps for everyone could be viewed as an issue for some, but Fowler views depth as a luxury. “We had to create some depth and that’s what we haven’t had in the past,”

said Fowler. “In Division II, if you want to make a run and play a lot of games, you have to have depth.” Over the years, Tarleton football has dealt with the loss of several teammates and staff - an adversity for which no team or person can prepare. This season, the Texans have coined the phrase “Super Strong Champs” that they will play for all season to remember the loss of teammate Camron Owens, who was nicknamed Super Cam, the careerending injury suffered by Chance Wallace (Chance Strong), and the loss of Christain Champine, also known as Champ. When Tarleton opens the regular season at home against Findlay on Sept. 12 at 7 p.m., expect to see the highpowered offense and hard-hitting defense that you’re accustomed to seeing in front of a jam-packed faithful crowd at Memorial Stadium that ranked eighth in the nation in attendance last year. Be Loud. Be Proud. Bleed Purple.

Tarleton State Football: A Gl ance at the 2015 Season

season, there’s plenty of optimism on the defensive side of the ball in 2015 with Fowler taking over the play-calling duties. Fowler was Tarleton’s defensive coordinator from 2008-09 and helped lead the Texans to their last NCAA playoff appearance in 2009 before being promoted to head coach. During Fowler’s tenure as defensive coordinator, the Tarleton defense was over 100 yards per game better with Fowler calling the defense, which gives the Texans a new identity heading into this season. “Defensively, the thing that changes is we’re so much longer,” said Fowler. “We redshirted a lot of kids and the new kids are picking up things really quick. Not to mention our team speed. We’ve always had great speed, but when you add that with the length, that changes things on defense.” Tarleton returns several veteran players on defense with seniors Brandon Moore, Jeremy Lewis and Savion Washington

Zed Woerner set the school record for passing yards in a game with 470 in his first career start last season. He is one of nine returning starters on offense.

HEAD COACH CARY FOWLER

CARY FOWLER HEAD COACH

With one Lone Star Conference Championship under his belt, Cary Fowler begins his sixth season at the helm of the Texan Football program in search of another title and more in 2015. The Texans battled through adversity and injury in 2014 to go on to a third-place finish in the Lone Star Conference Playoffs with five wins, including four in league play. Fowler’s Texans fought to the very end, however, by pulling off a 44-41 road victory over Midwestern State in the regular season finale to end the season with momentum heading into the 2015 campaign. In his first championship season, Fowler’s Texans got off to an incredible start in the 2013 season by winning the first five games of the season, including an epic come from behind victory against No. 4 West Texas A&M in the home opener on October 12, 2013. Tarleton was trailing 27-3 after the opening half but Fowler’s Texans held the nation’s No. 4-ranked team scoreless in the last two quarters and scored 28 unanswered points, including 21 in the fourth quarter to pull off the victory and open the campaign 5-0. Three games later, Tarleton State went down to Texas A&MKingsville needing a win to secure a Lone Star Conference championship and left no doubt with a 45-20 thumping of the Javelinas. This also marks three straight seasons with a winning record for Fowler while 19 players received all-LSC recognition. Since the start of the 2012 season, Fowler’s teams have been one of the most explosive offensive teams in the Lone Star Conference. The Texans have amassed over 9,300 yards of total offense including over 6,000 of it through the air. In 2012, despite having one of the youngest teams in the Lone Star Conference and fighting a plague of injuries, Fowler still managed to guide the Texans to a 6-4 overall record and a 5-3 mark in conference play. Under Fowler, Tarleton State has had at least one player every

Tarleton State Football: The Coaching Staff

year to be offered an opportunity to continue their career at the professional level in the National Football League. Saalim Hakim was the first to head to the professional level, leaving after the 2010 season. Hakim was signed by the Dallas Cowboys, later saw time with the New Orleans Saints and spent the entire 2013 season with the New York Jets. After the 2011 season, Nick Stephens became the next Texan to reach the pinnacle of the sport by signing a free agent contract to play quarterback for the Tennessee Titans. After a preseason pit stop with the Dallas Cowboys, Stephens has gone on to find a home with the Baltimore Ravens. After the 2012 season, Fowler had his first player taken in the NFL Draft as the reigning LSC Defensive Lineman of the Year, Rufus Johnson, became the highest drafted Texan in school history when New Orleans took Johnson in the sixth round and signed him to a four-year contract. Johnson was active for the Saints when they played the Seattle Seahawks in the 2014 playoffs. Adrian Campbell and Cordell Valentine also had brief stints in the NFL from the 2012 team. After 2013, Dashaun Phillips signed a free agent contract with the Dallas Cowboys and moved on to compete for a spot with the New York Jets. Following the 2014 season, Fowler’s streak remained in tact when defensive tackle Chris Brown signed a free agent contract with the Atlanta Falcons. When it comes to the fifth year head coach, there is not a shortage for people to contact regarding advice. The Texans’ leader feels that it has been a process of learning, growing, and communicating expectations with his fellow coaches and the players. He has used his coaching connections and mentors in order to better understand what it means to be a head coach of a football program. “I have been involved in college football for the past 24 years of my life,” said Fowler. “I have seen a lot of things and coached a lot of players, but here at Tarleton, I am able to fully appreciate the coaching experience. We have the facilities, the staff, and the university that makes Tarleton football one of the premiere programs in all of Division II.” Fowler has spent 20 years in coaching at only three schools, which is surprising considering the number of Division I coaches he has worked with, under, and over in his time in college football. With names like Houston Nutt, Denver Johnson, and Joe Pannunzio as influences, Fowler has plenty of sounding boards to bounce ideas off of in his career. “The best thing that has happened to me is that Coach Nutt is not coaching anymore,” said Fowler. “Now I have unlimited access to him. I really use these coaches as guides and examples of coaching the right way. They have meant so much to me in my development as a coach and as a human being.” Despite his competitive nature to be the best, at the end of the day, winning isn’t the most important thing. “The most rewarding part of coaching is watching these kids graduate,” said Fowler. “We have a lot of first generation college students, as I was myself. My mom and dad influenced me more than anyone else and I haven’t missed a day of school or work my entire life. I want to set an example for these young men and show them that dedication and a drive to succeed are all you need to be something in life.” The 2011 team was Fowler’s real beginning as a head coach because he was able to play the players he recruited. With that squad, Tarleton overcame a 1-5 start to finish 6-5 on the year and 5-3 in conference play with five straight victories, including big league wins over Incarnate Word, Texas A&M-Kingsville, and Angelo State. Fowler had six players earn all-conference honors, two players named all-region, and a pair of All-American performers in linebacker Marquis Wadley and defensive back Dashaun Phillips. In 2010, Fowler completed his first season in charge of the Texans, who went 3-8 on the season. Injuries on both sides of the ball and

HEAD COACH CARY FOWLER

a very tough schedule caused problems for the first year head coach, but it was just the beginning of the transition into a winning program. In his head coaching career, Fowler has coached the LSC Defensive Back and Defensive Lineman of the Year, tallied seven first-team all-conference, 19 second-team all-LSC and 34 honorable mention all-LSC players. He has also had five all-region awards bestowed to his players and two players receive All-American honors, including Rufus Johnson who earned All-American honors from three different sources following the 2012 season. He has also had nine players named to Preseason AllAmerican teams, including three prior to the 2014 campaign. In 2009, Fowler helped guide the Texans to the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs and a share of both the LSC Championship and the LSC South Division title. The Texan defense led the conference for most of the season and finished third in the LSC in total defense (323.4) and scoring defense (20.9). Tarleton was second in pass defense (21.61) and in interceptions (20). Tarleton was first in the league in opponents’ fourthdown conversions (22.2 percent) and second in opponents’ third-down conversions (30.2 percent). In 2008, the Texan defensive coordinator directed a defense that was No. 1 in the league in scoring defense, allowing just 21.8 points per game. The Texans were second overall in total defense with 319.3 yards per outing while the pass defense topped the LSC after allowing just 196.9 yards through the air. While on the Texan staff, Fowler has spent time speaking to community groups such as the Kiwanis and Optimist Clubs. He has also spent time helping the football team with community service projects such as Meals on Wheels, Fosters Home events and been involved with Refuge, a weekly Bible study at Harvey Baptist Church. In 2007 as his last season as an assistant coach at Midwestern State before coming to Tarleton, Fowler led the No. 1 total defense in the LSC, allowing just 294.2 yards per game. The Mustangs had the top-ranked rushing defense, allowing just 93.9 yards rushing per outing, and the thirdranked passing defense, giving up just 200.3 yards per contest through the air. MSU was also the best scoring defense in the LSC, allowing just 18.6 points per game. Fowler, who has made a name by annually constructing one of the top defenses in the LSC, was selected as the NCAA Division II Assistant Coach of the Year in 2005. The award, which was first presented in 1997, honors assistant coaches that excel in community service, commitment to the student-athlete, on-field coaching success and AFCA professional organization involvement. Fowler has been in tune with each during his collegiate coaching career. Fowler continued his coaching successes at Midwestern State as the defensive coordinator in 2001 where he coached a pair of All-Americans including linebacker Columbus Wooley and safety Germont Jackson. In Wichita Falls, he was very involved in the community as well, but his accomplishments on the field are just as noteworthy. Prior to joining the staff at MSU, Fowler spent nine years of association with the Murray State University football program. In 1993 and 1994, he was a safety and standout special teams performer before moving into a graduate assistant role from 1995-96. Fowler’s role would grow into his first full-time coaching job in 1997 when he was put in charge of the Murray State secondary. He became recruiting coordinator later that year before becoming the linebackers and free safety coach in 1999. During his four seasons as a full-time coach at Murray State, Fowler coached two All-Americans in cornerback Willie Hampton (1998) and safety Beau Guest (2000). After two seasons at Austin Peay State in Clarksville, Tenn., Fowler transferred to Murray State (Ky.) to begin what would be a nine-year relationship with the Racers’ football program. As a prep athlete, he earned all-state honors as a four-year letter winner on the gridiron while also participating in track and baseball. Fowler earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Murray State in 1994. He married the former Shanan Dunn in June of 2002. The Fowlers are the proud parents of two daughters, Sophi and Bella.

Record 5-5 5-5

When the 2015 season kicks off, Mason Miller will begin his 17th season of coaching football, which includes 15 at the collegiate level and second at Tarleton State where he will be the Associate Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator and lead the offensive line. In his first season with Tarleton State, the Texans took incredible strides on the offensive side of the ball - led by all-conference quarterback Collin Strahan. Tarleton had the No. 3 ranked offense in the nation at 522.8 yards per game and the Texans set numerous school records, including Zed Woerner’s record-setting passing effort of 470 yards in his first career start against Texas A&M-Commerce. Miller’s offensive line also proved to be one of the best in the nation, led by first-team all-conference selection Nick Perez. Miller, a protégé of Hal Mumme in the Air Raid offense, came to Tarleton following a one-year stint as the head coach of McMurry University. As an offensive-minded head coach, Miller’s War Hawks averaged 38.5 points and 523.1 total yards of offense per game last year. He has guided four different offenses to among the best in the nation at every level of NCAA football, including the best offense in the nation in D1-AA while at Southeastern Louisiana. He checked in at No. 3 in the nation in 2006 with D1 New Mexico State and No. 6 in the nation twice with McMurry, once as a Division III team and once as an intransition Division II team. Miller’s career began on the playing field where he starred as a standout linebacker for Walton High School in Marietta, Ga. His talents earned him a roster spot with Valdosta State, as a fullback, for his initial interaction with Mumme. After a career-ending injury, Miller traded his helmet for a headset and never looked back on his way to becoming one of the top assistant coaches in the nation. He was a student coach at Valdosta State’s conference championship team before venturing out on his own and taking a job at Valwood High School in 1998 where, as the offensive coordinator,

helped turn around a team that went 1-19 in the previous two seasons. With Miller leading the offense, Valwood High School earned a playoff berth in 1998 and a state championship in 1999. Miller’s offense was the state of Georgia’s top-ranked offense in 1999. Miller returned to the collegiate ranks at the turn of the century when he spent the 2000 season as the tight ends and wide receivers coach at Division III Washington and Lee University. He also coached baseball at WLU in the spring of 2001. After that single season at WLU, Miller returned to Mumme’s coaching staff as the duo headed to Southeastern Louisiana to resurrect a program that had not fielded a football team since 1986. The Lions were without football from 1986 through 2002. In the 2002 season, Miller’s responsibility was recruiting and preparing to bring back football. In the next two seasons, Southeastern Louisiana won 12 games, including seven in 2004. Miller served as the running backs coach in the 2003 season before moving to the offensive line in 2004. In just the second season of football at Southeastern Louisiana, Miller guided the Lions to the No. 1 offense in the nation in Division I-AA. Mumme and Miller’s success at Southeastern Louisiana earned them a move to FBS Division I New Mexico State in Las Cruces, New Mexico where the duo stayed for four seasons. As the offensive line coach and assistant head coach, Miller coached four all-conference linemen during his time at New Mexico State, including Nick Cole who went on to have an NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2006-10. Prior to the 2009 season, Miller returned to Texas, alongside Mumme, when the duo accepted coaching positions at McMurry. Mumme was the head coach for four seasons, with Miller heading up the offensive line and eventually becoming the offensive coordinator, before resigning after the 2012 season and gave way to Miller to become the head coach, the first of his college career, of the War Hawks in 2013. He broke three school records in 2013 at McMurry including total offense, scoring offense and yards per game. Miller and his wife, Meagan, now live in Stephenville with their daughters, Madison and Mallory.

Record 6-4 7-3 5-5 18-12

In the 2015 season, Jonathan Beasley will begin his fourth year on the Tarleton State coaching staff as the wide receivers coach and his first season as the Recruiting Coordinator. He will work primarily with the outside receivers in Tarleton’s pass-heavy, air-raid attack. Last year, the Texans boasted one of the top receiving corps in the nation with the trio of Le’Nard Meyers, Bubba Tandy and Clifton Rhodes III, who ultimately set the school record for most receptions and most receiving yards in school history. For the second straight season, Beasley’s receiving corps had four players top the 400-yard receiving plateau with Tandy leading the way with 830 yards and Meyers checking in at 755. Rhodes III (556) and Tyler Wright (432) were the other top receivers for the Texans while Rhodes, Tandy and Meyers were named all-conference at receiver. Beasley also spent the 2014 as the team’s Academic Coordinator and the Texans had three Texans named to the league Academic AllConference team and Charles Moore was named an Academic All-America honoree and National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete and finalist for the William V. Campbell trophy. In 2013, Beasley helped sophomore Le’Nard Meyers have a breakout season with a team-best 731 yards on 58 receptions, including a career-high 178 yards on nine catches and two touchdowns to power a 24-point comeback win against No. 4 West Texas A&M on Oct. 12. Meyers wasn’t the only Texan receiver to shine under Beasley’s tutelage as Meyers, Clifton Rhodes III (675), Bubba Tandy (498) and Jeken Frye (419) all topped the 400-yard receiving plateau. Beasley’s receivers had five 100-yard receiving games in 2013. Beasley coached Meyers and Rhodes to all-LSC accolades in 2013 and in his Tarleton career has had a total of four all-LSC selection wide receivers. In Beasley’s first season with Tarleton, he helped the Texan receivers combine for over 2,500 yards and 18 touchdowns with two receivers amassing more than 670 yards individually. Beasley, a former star quarterback at Kansas

State, came to Tarleton after coaching three years at his alma mater as an offensive assistant coach. Beasley returned to his alma mater and served as the wide receivers coach after being an assistant coach at Montana State in 2007 and 2008. The Bobcats went 13-10 over Beasley’s two seasons. As part of the Bobcat coaching staff, Beasley also assisted with the weekly implementation of the offensive game plan and served as the MSU Community Service Coordinator. Before arriving at Montana State, Beasley served as a graduate assistant at Emporia State as well as quarterbacks and running backs coach at Wichita North High in 2006 and JV and freshmen quarterbacks coach at Cactus High in Glendale, Ariz. In 2003. He played professionally for the Wichita Aviators in the APFL (2005), the Wichita Stealth in Arena II (2004), the NFL Jacksonville Jaguars (2003), the NFL Detroit Lions (2003), and NFL Green Bay Packers (2001). He also played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (2001-02). A native of Glendale, Ariz., Beasley was a third-team all-Big 12 selection at quarterback for K-State in 2000 and earned MVP honors in the 2001 Cotton Bowl and 1999 Holiday Bowl. He also earned MVP and team captain honors for the 2001 Hula Bowl, and was the team captain for the 2001 East-West Shrine Game. Beasley was a two-year starter at Kansas State, compiling a 132.7 pass efficiency rating in 2000, the top mark in school history to that point. He threw for over 30 touchdowns in his career and finished with 4,642 career passing yards. He holds the school record for most yards per completion for a game (23.9), season (20.1) and career (17.9) while also compiling a 21-4 record in two seasons as the Wildcat starting quarterback. He led K-State to a Big 12 Championship Game appearance against Oklahoma as a senior, and led the Wildcats to a win over Nebraska that same season by throwing a game-winning 12-yard scoring strike in the game’s final three minutes. Beasley married his wife, Amanda, in July 2014 and has a four-year old son, Tanner.

HOLBROOK QUARTERBACKS & PASSING GAME COORDINATOR FIRST SEASON Hometown......................... Hurst, Texas High School...................... L.D. Bell High Alma Mater..................... NM State â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;11 Family................................. Wife, Robin In February 2015, Tarleton State added one of most decorated passers in the history of the Western Athletic Conference, Chase Holbrook, to the Texan Football coaching staff as the Quarterbacks coach and Passing Game Coordinator. Holbrook comes to Tarleton with six years of previous coaching experience, including two seasons as an offensive coordinator. The former Aggie signal caller began his coaching career at McMurry in 2009 following a brief stint as an undrafted free agent with the Dallas Cowboys. He joined the Warhawk staff, led by his former coaches Hal Mumme

and Mason Miller, and spent his first two seasons as the running backs coach before taking over the quarterbacks in 2011-12. He was promoted to offensive coordinator when Miller was named the head coach prior to the 2013 season. After his five seasons at McMurry, he ventured back to New Mexico to claim the offensive coordinator position with New Mexico Highlands. In his only season in charge of the Cowboy offense, Holbrook led Highlands to the top passing offense in NCAA Division II with 388.5 passing yards per game. The Cowboys threw for 4,274 yards through the air in 11 games with 38 passing touchdowns. Prior to joining the coaching ranks, Holbrook played three seasons for the Aggies after spending his freshman campaign at Southeastern Louisiana with Mumme and Miller. During his time with the Aggies, Holbrook forever etched his name into the WAC record books with the fifth most yards of total offense (11,570) as well as the fourth most passing yards (11,846) and the fifth most passing touchdowns (85) in the 50-year existence of the conference. Holbrook was the successor of Scott Grantham, who transferred from New Mexico State to Tarleton State following a serious medical injury that nearly ended his career. Grantham went on to have one of the greatest careers of a Tarleton quarterback and led the Texans to the second round of the 2009 NCAA playoffs. Holbrook is a 2004 graduate of L.D. Bell High School in Hurst, Texas and currently resides in Stephenville with his wife, Robin.

Wingate ‘10 In February 2015, Tarleton State strengthened its coaching staff with the addition of Jack Taylor as the newest defensive line coach for the Texan Football program. Taylor, a native of Keystone Heights, Florida, joins the Texan coaching staff after spending his first two seasons in the collegiate ranks as the leader of the defensive line at conference rival Texas A&M-Commerce. During his tenure with Commerce, the Lions tallied 85.0 total sacks and had a defensive lineman named the LSC Defensive Player of the Year in each season. Taylor also coached five defensive linemen to

all-conference honors in the last two seasons, including four first-team selections. Prior to arriving at Texas A&M-Commerce, Taylor spent his first season of coaching as the defensive coordinator and defensive line coach at Keystone Heights High School in his hometown. Taylor played five seasons of college football before stepping into the coaching role, including his final three seasons at Wingate University in North Carolina, where he graduated with a Communications degree. After wrapping up his high school career at Keystone Heights, Taylor went to West Texas A&M for his first two seasons before transferring to Wingate for the 2008 season as a sophomore. He played his final three seasons with the Bulldogs and was named a second-team all-conference selection as a senior. He also ranks second-most all-time in tackles for a loss with 34.5 in his career and fourth most all-time with 13.5 sacks. Taylor’s grandfather, Jack, was the head coach at Fletcher High School from 1959-1975 and won over 100 games with a winning percentage of over .700 at Florida’s highest level of high school competition during that time. He coached NFL Pro Bowler, Noah Jackson, as well as multiple other NFL players and Fletcher High School renamed its stadium, Jack Taylor Stadium in 1999. The grandfather of the Tarleton Defensive Line coach was also a three-year letterwinner for the University of Florida. Taylor currently resides in Stephenville.

TURNER

DEFENSIVE BACKS & SPECIAL TEAMS FIRST SEASON Hometown........................ Conway, Ark. High School...................... Conway High Alma Mater................ Murray State ‘98 Family................................ Wife, Maika Children: Myka, Aryah, and Tessa Tony Turner joined the Tarleton State Football coaching staff in May 2015 as the defensive backs coach for the Texans. “I’m fired up about being a part of this,” said Turner. “We have a bunch of hard-working young men that strive to be better. They don’t want to be a part of something mediocre and average. I really feel like there is something special going on here.” Turner comes to Tarleton State with 12 years of college coaching experience under his belt, including last season at Arkansas-Pine Bluff. He spent seven seasons from 2001-07 between NCAA Division I-AA Eastern Illinois and Tennessee State where he was a part of three Ohio Valley Conference Championships. He has been around his share of NFL standouts as a coach, including the 2001-02 seasons at Eastern Illinois when Tony Romo was under center. In 2004, while at Tennessee State, Turner was the defensive backs coach and recruiting coordinator when he helped land and coach future firstround draft pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to the Tigers. His coaching career started at Murray State following his four-year playing career for the Racers, which is where his “very unique relationship” with Fowler began. “Me and Tony go way back,” said Fowler. “We have a very unique relationship because we played together, coached together and I coached him while he was a player. I’m excited to have him here because he knows how to win and get the kids to compete at a high level.” Turner went to Murray

State as a running back and return specialist in 1993, where Fowler was a standout defensive back. Turner spent his first three seasons on offense before an injury on the defensive side of the ball left Murray State in need of safety help. The Racers, who were a top-five program in the nation and in the heat of a postseason race, needed someone to fill the position and Turner stepped into that role – a position that was being coached by Fowler. “(Fowler) was a mentor, a good leader, and someone a player could follow,” said Turner. “We played together, he helped me in my transition to safety when I was a player and he was a coach, and he helped me transition into coaching. He’s been a great example for me. I believe he trusts me and I know that I trust him. I’m looking forward to the opportunity.” Turner will take over the duties of coaching the secondary, which has belonged to Fowler since his arrival as the defensive coordinator in 2008. Fowler, who has taken over defensive coordinator responsibilities for the 2015 year, will transition to coaching middle linebackers. Turner received his bachelor’s degree from Murray State in 1998. He graduated from Conway High School in Conway, Arkansas in 1993. He is married to his wife of 13 years, Maika, and the two have three children – Myka, Aryah, and Tessa.

IN MEMORY OF ZACH SHAVER

Wearing 96 Remembering Zach Shaver “It was just a regular Saturday morning practice (in the Spring of 2010),” recalled Tarleton State head coach Cary Fowler. “I remember going through individuals and then running through a few plays at the end of practice. “That entire practice,” he added. “Shaver dominated.” Zach Shaver never played a single snap for the Tarleton Texan football team in a regular season game, but the 18-year old defensive tackle will forever be linked to the university in the form of his number… 96. The Kid Shaver came to Tarleton, along with his childhood friend Cole Vitolo in the fall of 2009 after the duo dominated in the trenches for Rider High School in Wichita Falls. “Zach and I met in the first grade, but we never really started hanging out together until the fourth grade,” said Vitolo. “I remember inviting him out to play football with me because he had only ever played basketball, and the rest is history. “He was probably one of the funniest people I’ve ever met in my life,” he continued. “He had a way of having a good time no matter how stressful the situation would be. He was really funny and really level-headed all the time.” Shaver and Vitolo grew up in Wichita Falls, with Vitolo living next door to an up-and-coming football coach named Cary Fowler. Fowler was an assistant for Midwestern State at the time. “He’d always come over to play with Cole (Vitolo), who was my next door neighbor, ever since he was a little kid,” said Fowler. “I’ve known him a long time.” When Vitolo and Shaver finished their respective Rider careers, the decision of where to play college football became the main point of their lives. “I knew I wanted to get out of Wichita Falls,” said Vitolo. “We came down to Tarleton for our visits and my parents left early so I rode back home with Zach. “We stopped at a Dairy Queen in Jacksboro, and this sounds really cheesy, but I told Zach, ‘I think I want to be a Texan,’” he added. “He said ‘I think I want to be a Texan, too.’” The decision was made and Shaver and Vitolo continued their football careers in Stephenville. The Spring After redshirting as a freshman, Shaver entered his first spring football training as a legitimate contender for a spot on a defensive line vacated by seniors and injuries. “In 2009, Zach actually had a chance to play for us,” said Fowler. “We had to make a decision who to play right away, and I made the decision not to play Zach because I knew how good he

would be in the long run. “In the spring (of 2010), he completely changed his body,” Fowler continued. “He came into spring and was lifting. He was huge and had very little body fat, but then he got mono. He actually was sick for a week or two and then he came back and started getting back into shape.” Shaver was dominant during the spring, making plays that left the coaching staff in awe of his potential. “Zach wasn’t fighting, he was the starter,” said Fowler, who was serving as the interim head coach at that time. “He was head and shoulders better than any other defensive tackle we had at that time. The coaches and I agreed he could potentially be the best defensive tackle to ever play here. There wasn’t a battle, he was the best defensive lineman we had.” Then tragedy struck. During the “normal Saturday morning practice,” Shaver collapsed during team drills. “He was on the ground and I was telling him to get up, you’re just tired,” recalled Vitolo. “But then they asked us to back up and I started freaking out. I didn’t even know what I was freaking out about because I knew he would be okay.” “I didn’t see it, and I’m sure Cole didn’t either, but I looked down the field and Zach was on his knees and fighting to get to his feet,” said Fowler. “Me and Kurt Turner (the offensive line coach at the time) were the first two there and we finally got him over. I was there holding his hand and we knew something was bad wrong. “He just held my hand and when he got ready to go away, he let go,” he continued. “That was the most helpless feeling I’ve ever had because I knew I couldn’t help him.” Shaver was CareFlighted off the field, wearing the Number 96 on his chest, and taken to Fort Worth. “I went in and showered and the whole time I’m thinking, he’ll be okay. I thought it was just a really bad concussion,” said Vitolo. “I called my girlfriend at the time and told her I was going to the hospital, but we were still - in my mind - planning on going back to Wichita Falls that night. “After a day of waiting, we got a call from the hospital and they told us it was our final goodbye to Zach,” he said. “I hate to say this, but we were bawling. We have a love for 80’s rock, and our little group was just sitting there crying and singing the song,

IN MEMORY OF ZACH SHAVER

The Game That fall was Fowler’s first season as head coach, and he had a plan to honor the fallen Shaver. “We had just won the LSC Championship in 2009 and I knew I wanted to give the first championship ring to Zach’s family,” he said. “I wanted to do it the first game of the season, but Zach’s father had foot surgery and couldn’t make it so we planned it for the fourth game.” Fowler’s head coaching career, however, did not start out so well. Not only did the Texans drop their first four games of the season, but injuries were wreaking havoc as well. Vitolo suffered minor injuries while the team lost first-string quarterback Nick Stephens for three weeks, backup QB Aaron Doyle for the season and several other key players. After a three-game road trip, the Texans returned home with intentions to honor the Shaver family against Angelo State on Oct. 2. “There was a different air in the room that day,” said Vitolo. “To be honest, it’s kind of a blur. I remember staring into my locker and thinking this game is bigger than us. There are people here who need this.” Vitolo, along with Zach’s sister Emily, led the charge onto the field prior to Tarleton’s game with the Rams. Then the game was under way. Tarleton trailed by 14 points late in the fourth quarter, but with time winding down the Texans found some magic. “Before the game started, his dad brought in this ‘96’ and I coach every game with this gold ‘96’ that I keep in my pocket, and I think I about rubbed through it that night,” said Fowler. “We were down 14 points late and it was Zach. It was like he took over the game. We backed them up, forced a fumble, recovered it on the two, and events started happening that made you say ‘wow.’” Vitolo recovered the fumble and the Texans scored on the ensuing play. After a pair of defensive stops, Tarleton tied and took the lead on a Stephens touchdown pass and a Blake Weist field goal that made it 37-34 with less than two minutes to go.

“We had the ball (in the closing seconds) and they called timeout on fourth down to try to get the ball back,” said Fowler. “Nick (Stephens) comes to the sideline and I knew I didn’t want to kick it. Nick said, ‘Coach, we got this.’ I asked if he was going to throw it deep and he said, ‘No coach, I’m going to throw it to the heavens.’ “He backed up and he threw it straight up as high as he could and when the ball came down, the game was over,” he said. “You knew Zach was up there smiling and probably laughing at us.” That was Fowler’s first career head coaching victory. “It didn’t even hit me until I got into the locker room,” said Vitolo. “Up until then, we hadn’t played very well, but that night we were like a whole different team. I went and sat at my locker and I cried. It was a really different feeling.” The Number Following the 2010 spring, Fowler dedicated jersey number 96 to be awarded to the player who best represents Tarleton State football both on and off the field. “You have to think, what can you do that’s forever? You can retire a number and people forget what the number meant. Because this kid was wearing a Tarleton uniform when he got injured, I wanted this kid’s history untouched,” said Fowler. “That’s why we touch his helmet on the way out to the field and that’s why his locker is still untouched from the day he passed away.” No. 96 is more than a number to the Texans. It’s a memory, an attitude and a reminder to play every play like it’s their last. “It became a symbol of him because everybody knew Zach and everybody loved Zach,” said Vitolo. “It became a symbol because of the way he played - always in the backfield, always excited on the field. It came with an attitude. It’s like Batman’s Bat-Symbol. No. 96 was Zach.” When the Texans marched into Tarleton Memorial Stadium on Sept. 8, 2013 against Midwestern State, Vitolo was wearing the number of his fallen friend. “It’s the greatest honor I’ve ever earned,” said Vitolo. “I don’t feel I could ever come close to representing it, but to put on his number [was the] greatest honor I could ever achieve.” “It couldn’t [have] happened to a better kid or a kid more committed to Tarleton State University than Cole Vitolo,” said Fowler. “He didn’t break any records, but there are a lot of teams that would [have] loved to have Cole. To see him run out there wearing that number [was] a very moving moment for me, for him and for his parents. “I want to honor Zach Shaver at Tarleton State and for everyone to always remember,” added Fowler. “That even when he couldn’t - for this university - he was fighting to get to his feet.”

‘Josie’s on vacation far away.’” “When you see kids go through that and you have to make that phone call to (Shaver’s mother) Jennifer…I will always feel responsible for that,” said Fowler. “I know there’s a plan God has, but that’s tough. You never know when your last day or your last play is going to happen.” After spending time with his family, Vitolo returned to Stephenville to continue his Tarleton football career without his best friend Shaver. “A lot of people expected me to quit after that, but I always knew I was going to play for Tarleton. Quitting the team never crossed my mind,” he said.

he Tarleton State Football Family suffered another loss after hearing of the tragic passing of freshman defensive back Christain Champine, who was in a car accident. “Our prayers are with the Champine

family in the loss of their son, Christain,” said Tarleton State head coach Cary Fowler. “Our prayers are with Malik (Brown) and for a speedy recovery. “I ask for your prayers for this team,” he continued. “Christian was a huge part

of our family. He was very well liked and loved by his teammates and coaches. I ask for prayers that God can give us the strength to hold this football team together, prayers that God will mend their broken hearts once again, that we can give them understanding, trust and hope, and to be able to see God’s wonderful power work through this tragedy.” Champine was travelling with his fellow freshman on the Texan Football team, Malik Brown, when the accident occurred. Brown was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bryan and treated for injuries but was reported to be in stable condition, according to sources early Friday morning.

TEXAN FOOTBALL HISTORY

The football program has long played an important role on the campus of Tarleton State University, with records showing that Tarleton fielded a football team as early as 1904. The following story will take you on the journey of football at Tarleton, starting with the early days of junior college competition and continuing with the move to senior college level in 1961. It recaps the Texans’ dominance on the NAIA Division II scene and tells of Tarleton’s recent accomplishments as a member of NCAA Division II. Finally, this story ends by assuring you that Tarleton’s best days on the football field are still ahead. Football began at Tarleton almost from the start of the college. Records indicate that Tarleton fielded a team as early as 1904. However, scores of Tarleton’s games are available only starting in 1915. When Tarleton first began collegiate play, it was known as John Tarleton College but it became a junior college in 1906 and affiliated with the Texas A&M University System in 1917. It was know as John Tarleton Agricultural College (JTAC) until 1949 when it became Tarleton State College. In 1961, Tarleton began four-year competition and in 1973 became Tarleton State University. Tarleton enjoyed great success on the gridiron after World War I, going 52-16-6 over an eight-year span under the direction of W.J. Wisdom, who would later gain greater fame as a basketball coach. Included in the span was an 8-0-1 record in 1925 when Tarleton outscored its opponents 276 to 25 and was tied only by Baylor University’s freshman team. Wisdom also coached the 1935 team to a 9-2 mark, losing the last two games of the season after shutting out eight of the first nine opponents and outscoring opponents 235 to 6. Among the early luminaries of the game were Tarleton Hall of Famers Leslie “Al” Jennings, Max Menzies, Paul “Duck” Marr, Jess “Ironhead” Davis, Hugh Wolfe, Henry Todd, and Clifford Funderburk. During World War II, Tarleton did not field a team in 1942 or 1943 and played mostly military and academy teams in 1944 and 1945. In 1950, Tarleton posted a 7-3 record with what many consider its best team. Seven players from that team are Hall of Fame members, including Al Jennings (1922-26) quarterback Pence Dacus, rushing champion Marvin Brown, and receiver Jack Jones. Brown would later play professionally for the Detroit Lions. In the mid-50’s, led by stars Webb Bishop, Leon Blakeney and Jerry Flemmons, Tarleton would field strong teams, including a 7-1-1 record in 1956. Tarleton made its difficult transition from two-year to four-year competition in 1961 and also changed its team nickname from the “Plowboys” to the “Texans” by student vote. Though the team suffered through seven straight losing seasons – that did not keep John Riggs from becoming one of the most heralded defensive players in school history. The linebacker is one of just two players to have had his jersey (No. 63) retired. In 1966, Tarleton posted a 7-3 record behind a team that also boasts Hall of Famers. That squad defeated a team of Mexico All-Stars in the Aztec Bowl. Giant defensive tackle Randy Winkler would later play professional football. Between 1966 and 1968 Tarleton was entertained by magical quarterback, J.D. McMahon, throwing to receivers Pat Ballow, Harlan Wunsch and Jody Worsham. Between 1968 and 1975, Tarleton competed as a member of the Lone Star Conference. Over that eight-year span, the team recorded just 12

wins while losing 68. One of the few highlights in that span was the opening in 1974 of Memorial Stadium as the football team’s new playing site. In 1976, the University left the LSC and helped form the nonscholarship Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Over the next 15 years, Tarleton would win six TIAA titles, with back-to-back crowns in 1977 and 1978, 1986 and 1987, and 1989 and 1990. The 1978 team was the first to go to postseason play, finishing with an 8-0-1 record during J.D. McMahon ranks as one of the the regular season. All-American top Texan quarterbacks of all-time, linebacker and Tarleton Athletics having completed 389 passes for 5,684 yards and 38 TD’s. Hall of Famer Tally Neal led that team and his No. 34 jersey would later became retired for just the second time in school history. From 1979 to 1982, Ricky Bush would become Tarleton’s career rushing champion and the only Texan football player ever to be selected to four consecutive all-America teams, as he thrilled Tarleton fans at the turn of the decade. During a five-year span from 1986 to 1990, Tarleton went 4511-1, won the Sunflower Bowl in 1986, and advanced to the NAIA quarterfinals in 1987, 1989 and 1990. The 1990 team is the only Tarleton team to have an undefeated and untied regular season, going 10-0, before losing in the quarterfinals to eventual national champion Westminster College. That playoff loss to Westminster is remembered as one of the most thrilling games ever to be played at Memorial Stadium. Because of its domination of the league, Tarleton was requested to leave the TIAA and played as an independent from 1991 to 1994. In 1994 the school was accepted for membership to NCAA Division II, and rejoined the Lone Star Conference, first competing for a league title in 1995. Tarleton’s 10-3 record in 2001 is by far the top single season mark during the scholarship era. In 2002, the Texans finished 9-2 for the second best mark since beginning scholarships. Former head coach Todd Whitten played a key role in Tarleton’s recent success, averaging seven wins per season in his five years at the helm. He and his staff set out to make Texan football a consistent winner, and it appears they are well on their way to doing just that. In 2001, Tarleton earned a share of both the LSC overall championship and LSC South Division crown for the first time in school history. The Texans, who closed the regular season with six straight wins, made their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II playoffs and advanced to the national quarterfinals. Tarleton placed 17 players on the AllLSC teams in 2002, including an amazing eight first team selections. The Texans returned to the playoffs for the second time in three years in 2003 and finished the season 8-4 overall. Tarleton won its third straight LSC John Riggs (1960-63) division title by taking the North trophy

TEXAN FOOTBALL HISTORY the second time in the program’s history. In 2010, head coach Cary Fowler took over a rebuilding program in his first year at the helm of the Texans. Tarleton struggled through injuries and inexperience, limping to a 3-8 record, but it gave the younger players an opportunity to gain valuable experience. The 2011 season was the most successful under Coach Fowler after finishing the season on a five-game winning streak. Tarleton got off to a rough start, but faced very tough competition. In fact, the Texans’ losses came against ranked opponents, including No. 1 Midwestern State and No. 2 Abilene Christian. Tarleton rebounded though and finished the season as the hottest team in the conference. At 6-5 on the year, the Texans showed they were growing into a force to be reckoned with in the LSC. It showed a change of pace from the past few years and that the Texans were on the rise. The Texans opened the 2012 campaign upsetting nationally ranked Midwestern State, 20-17, and the team looked poised for greatness. After downing the No. 4-ranked team in the nation, Tarleton would hit the road for a neutral contest against Abilene Christian that would be played at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Tarleton took a three-point lead into the locker room, but the Wildcats came back with a stifling defense and defeated the Texans 3431. The team would battle back the next week with a win over Eastern New Mexico, but Tarleton would not win back-to-back contests until late October and early November. The Texans managed to go on the road and upset Gulf South Conference super-team North Alabama on the second to final week of the season and then defeat Angelo State in the season finale to earn wins in its final three games. Quarterback Jake Fenske set a school record with a 99-yard touchdown toss against UNA and then set the new school record for yards passing in a game against ASU, collecting 460 yards on the evening. Tarleton finished the season 6-4 overall and 5-3 in the LSC. Fowler and the Texans continued their upswing in the 2013 campaign as Tarleton secured its third Lone Star Conference Championship in school history with a 7-3 record and 5-1 record in the LSC. The highlight game of the season came at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 12 when the Texans entered their home opener with a perfect 4-0 record but fell behind 27-3 in the opening half of football. Tarleton fought back and, on the strength of several incredible, clutch catches from Le’Nard Meyers, pulled off the incredible upset of the nation’s No. 4 ranked team with a 31-27 victory to beat the Buffs for the first time since 2004. After nearly 100 years of Tarleton football action, including over five decades as a senior college, the Texans have never been stronger over a longer period of time. Clearly, the best is yet to come for the Proud Defenders of the Purple and White. The 2015 campaign will be another exciting chapter in the annals J.W. Boren (1999-2002) is Tarleton’s all-time leading scorer with 313 career of Tarleton football history.

after going 4-1 in North Division play. Seventeen Texan players made the All-LSC teams in 2003, including an astounding 11 players as first team selections. The Texans now have totaled 34 first team All-LSC players since 1996. The 2004 season was another strong year, despite a four-game losing skid in the middle of the season. However, the Texans put together four straight wins to end the season. The Texans missed a share Derrick Ross (2004-05) gained 3,072 yards of the Lone Star Conference in two seasons with the Texans, including Championship and the school’s a school record 269 yards in a single game. fourth LSC division title with a loss to end the 2005 season. The Texans could have been ranked No. 1 in the South Central Region, but the loss knocked the Texans out of the playoffs for the second straight season. Tarleton finished the 2005 campaign under new head coach Sam McElroy with a 7-3 overall record. In 2006, the Texans shared the LSC South Division crown with West Texas A&M after losing to the Buffaloes in the final game. The defeat kept Tarleton out of the playoffs for the third straight season. The Texans opened the season 0-3 before rattling through the South Division 6-0 before the loss at WTAMU, ending the year 6-4 overall. In 2007, the Texans had a great season, finishing 9-2 overall, including a 27-24 overtime victory at NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision member Stephen F. Austin. However, the Texans were left out of the playoffs once again after dropping two of the last three contests. Senior defensive back Ranardrick Phillips became the first player in the LSC South Division to earn the Defensive Back of the Year Award three consecutive times (2005, 2006 and 2007). The Texans won the first five games of the 2008 season before dropping a close game at home to resurgent Texas A&M-Kingsville. The Texans finished 8-3 after dropping two of their last three games. Tarleton was featured on national television on CBS College Sports Network on Thursday, Oct. 30 when the Texans hosted Angelo State, winning 31-24. The 2009 season was one for the record books as the season was highlighted by a double-overtime NCAA Division II playoff victory at Texas A&M-Kingsville in the first round. Kicker Garrett Lindholm nailed a division playoff record 64-yard field goal to tie the game as time expired, and Tarleton’s quarterback Scott Grantham scored from 20 yards out before punching in the two-point conversion for the victory. Tarleton finished the season Buddy Fornes (1973-82) was head 10-3 and claimed a share of the LSC coach of the Texans in 1977 when championship and the LSC South Tarleton claimed its first ever TIAA Division title. Tarleton advanced to Conference Championship. the second round of the playoffs for

points in 46 games played.

ALL-STATE GOOD WORKS TEAM

Jacob Rowe Defensive End • #90 • 2009 Junior • Alvarado, Texas

Brandon Johnson Defensive Back • #1 • 2010 Senior • Giddings, Texas

In 2009, Jacob Rowe became the first Tarleton Texan to be named to the 22-man Allstate/AFCA Good Works Team. The junior defensive end earned 14 tackles, four for a loss and a sack after missing the first five games due to injury. Off the field, Rowe was involved with several church ministries while also hosting student-athlete Bible studies on campus.

In 2010, Brandon Johnson became the second Texan named to the Good Works Team - and the second in as many seasons. Johnson participated in Fantastic Field Day, Rock the Gym, Meals on Wheels, Angel League and Tarleton Round-Up. He also helped several senior citizens through moving furniture, cleaning yards and houses, painting and other household chores.

Other Nominees: This list includes Texans who were apart of the original 182 student-athletes to make the initial cut into the Allstate Good Works Team but did not make the final list of 22.

Tarleton State Football: The Te xan Football Record Books

Allstate Insurance Company and the American Football Coaches Association partner to present 22 student-athletes each year to the Allstate Good Works team. The 22 student-athletes from Division I, Division II and Division III programs are honored for making outstanding contributions in the area of volunteerism and civic involvement.

CHARLES MOORE: ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN

Former Texan safety filled up trophy case from unforgettable senior season after being named Scholar-Athlete by NFF Gridiron Club of Dallas When Charles Moore arrived for two-a-day football practices in August 2014, the senior safety for the Texans knew little about what would unfold during his final season with the Purple and White. An all-conference safety, a three-time member of the LSC Commissioner’s Honor Roll and a part of the reigning conferencechampion Tarleton Texans, Moore began his new role as a senior leader for this program right away. “I never wanted to be that guy who says ‘I’m doing this because it’s my senior year’ because you see guys trying to put forth a lot more effort then you’re like, ‘where was that all the other years.’ But, it was more from losing a lot of the upperclassmen that I was really close to and stepping into that role was motivation,” said Moore. “I was trying to set good examples for the young guys. I had great mentors show me the right way to do things and I wanted to continue that tradition for our young guys. “Additional motivation comes from thoughts of my mom,” he continued. “She works so hard and I think if she can do that for me, with three kids, then I can play the game of football.” Moore’s motivation churned out one of the best season’s from a defensive player in recent Tarleton State history as he tallied 76 tackles and a team-high five interceptions for the season to bring him allconference, all-region and All-America honors. “Of all the awards I received last year, the day (Director of Athletic Communications Nathan Bural) called me to tell me I was an AllAmerican probably was the most surprising. I thought I had a lot of great seasons here, but when the awards started to come in it became so surreal,” said Moore. But for the senior from Carrollton, the motivation didn’t stop when he walked off the field at Tarleton Memorial Stadium as he carried his hard work and dedication into the classroom, which led to one of the most remarkable academic semesters in the history of Tarleton State Athletics. Moore’s 3.83 grade point average as a kinesiolgy major at Tarleton, in addition to his football efforts and over 200 total hours of community service, garnered him academic all-conference, CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-America and National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete recognition. The Scholar-Athlete award recognized Moore as one of 17 recipients from across the nation in all levels of football and nominated him for the William V. Campbell Trophy at a presentation ceremony in New York on December 9, 2014. “It was such a blessing,” said Moore. “I’ve always dreamt about these types of things happening, but for them to come around my senior year and to have everything come together was remarkable in how I was able to see my hard work pay off.” At the ceremony, Moore received the Eddie Robinson Scholarship, which provided him with $18,000 of graduate studies scholarship to continue to pursue higher education. “It’s the most unbelievable award I’ve ever heard of,” said Tarleton head coach Cary Fowler. “This is something that encompasses every athlete across the nation in every division. When you look at Charles’ grades and his community service, he is a coach’s dream. “We were in my office when I found out – me, Charles and (defensive coordinator) Henry (Cofer) – and the first thing Charles did was call his mom,” continued Fowler. “Coach Cofer told him ‘we’re gonna ride this (season) until the wheels fall of and hopefully we can play for a long time, but I’m going to hate to see you go.’ That’s the way we all feel

about him. I don’t know that I’ll ever coach another player like Charles. It’s been unbelievable to be able to coach this child.” “The National Football Foundation award and being able to go to New York was incredible,” said Moore. “I never thought that my grades would take me that far. To see all that hard work and all those long nights pay off really meant a lot to me. “New York was an amazing experience,” he continued. “When Coach Fowler first brought me into his office, my first thought was for my mom. It wasn’t too long ago that I had actually asked her, where is the one place you would like to go if you get the chance and she said New York. So I called her first and told her I would love for her to come. I got there before her, but when she got there it was great to see her face light up.” He added one final honor to his established resume when Moore was named one of nine Scholar-Athletes by the National Football Foundation Gridiron Club of Dallas. Moore graduated with his undergraduate degree from Tarleton in December 2014 and was named the Kinesiology Department’s Most Outstanding Graduate. He is pursuing a master of science degree in kinesiology and serving as a graduate assistant coach for the Texan football team.

2012 Tarleton Athletics Hall of Fame inductee James Dearth

TARLETON ATHLETICS HALL OF FAME “He provided the program with a family atmosphere,” continued Gillespie. “The players and coaches were a big family. Our children were at the practices, our wives were all friends and the players were like brothers. I think that’s why a lot of these guys are still connected to Tarleton today.” In the ensuing season of 1978, Fornes’ Texans picked up right where they left off by leaning on the most dominant defense in school history en route to the school’s second straight TIAA Conference Championship, the first NAIA National Playoff appearance and the school’s first undefeated record as a senior college at 8-0-1. The 1978 team showcased the most dominant defense in school history and arguably one of the greatest NAIA defenses of all-time. Led by All-American Tally Neal, Tarleton’s defense set records in that season that still set the precedent for Texan defenders today, such as fewest total yards allowed (978), fewest points allowed per game (4.4), fewest points allowed in a season (40), fewest rushing yards allowed in a season (158) and the fewest passing yards allowed in a season (830). The school record of 988 total yards allowed in 1978 has a padded lead over the second-best season in school history, which was 2,101 yards allowed in 1982. The record for fewest points in a season of 40 is also well protected, as the next closest season is 123 points allowed. Fornes, Ronnie Giles and Gillespie were the only full-time coaches on the staff for these two championship seasons. Members of the team already include several notable Hall of Fame Texans, including Neal. The linebacker was a first-team allamerican in 1978, is the only Texan to have his jersey number (34) retired and played professionally with the San Antonio Gunslingers in the USFL. Playing alongside Neal for this year’s inductee teams were: Johnny Gann (QB), who famously jumped atop the Texan Rider horse and rode the stallion on the Tarleton sidelines after clinching the school’s first conference championship in 1977, as well as Chuck High (RB), Charles Groom (WR), Wayne Schumaker (LB), Steve Fiezel (DL), Taylor Virdell (DL) and many more who will be recognized at the Hall of Fame ceremony in May. “We decided to induct both teams into the hall because you can’t honor just one,” said Gillespie, who also serves on the Hall of Fame selection committee. “These young men came in as freshman, took their knocks and were champions.” Hall of Fame weekend is scheduled for May 1-2, 2015 in Stephenville. Friday night will consist of mixers and other activities to welcome the teams back to Tarleton before Saturday Tarleton Quarterback Johnny Gann rode the Texan Rider horse across McMurry’s field after night’s induction ceremony at the leading the Texans to their first TIAA championship in 1977.

n a historic year for the Tarleton State Athletic Hall of Fame, a pair of championship football teams will be the sole inductees during Hall of Fame weekend on May 1-2, 2015. This will be the second and third teams inducted into the Tarleton State Athletic Hall of Fame, joining the 1991-92 TexAnn basketball team, and is the first class in which includes only teams and no individual members. The 1977 and 1978 football teams were two of the most significant football teams to ever don the Purple and White. “In my opinion, this was the beginning of Tarleton’s success as a four-year institution,” said Joe Gillespie, who was the fulltime defensive assistant for (head coach Buddy) Fornes’ in each of those seasons. “That 1977 season was a turning point for us as a senior college. We started that year with a big win over a national powerhouse and later played the eventual 1977 national championship runners-up, Southwestern Oklahoma, to a three-point game. It was a good season and the start of great things for the program and this university.” Led by Fornes, the Texans in 1977 won the school’s first TIAA Conference Championship – marking the first football championship for Tarleton as a senior college – with a record of 7-3 and an unblemished 4-0 conference mark. In addition to the perfect conference record, Tarleton also got a historic win to begin the ‘77 campaign by beating the three-time NAIA National Champions, Texas Lutheran, in the season opener. “When I think of Coach (Buddy) Fornes, I think that he was a man of integrity,” said Gillespie. “He did things the right way, he treated his athletes like they were his own kids and the players loved him for that.

1ST ROUND • NOVEMBER 17, 2001 BEEBE, ELLIOTT FIELD • CHADRON, NEB. (5,400)

TEXANS DOWN NO. 3-RANKED CHADRON STATE 28-24 FOR SCHOOL’S FIRST-EVER NCAA DIVISION II PLAYOFF VICTORY CHADRON, Neb. - Tarleton State’s defense limited a high-powered Chadron State offense to just three points in the second half as the Texans rallied past the Eagles 28-24 in first-round action of the NCAA Division II football playoffs. The Texans trailed 21-7 late in the first half after quarterback Steve Kelly fumbled and Chadron’s Aric Lopez returned it five yards for a touchdown. That play seemingly gave the Eagles all the momentum heading to halftime. Kelly and Texans came right back and managed to cut their deficit to 21-14 with a quick 11-play drive that culminated with a 3-yard touchdown catch by tight end Kyle Masters, slicing the Chadron lead to seven points with 30 seconds left in the half. Chadron upped its lead to 24-14 with Ryan Larson’s 24-yard field goal on the Eagles’ first second-half possession, but the Texans’ defense would dominate from there, allowing Chadron to only 77 yards in their final four drives. The Texans limited Chadron to 0-for-4 on 3rd-down conversions and 0-for-2 on 4th-down tries in the final quarter. Tarleton squelched the Eagles’ fake punt attempt on 4th-and-1 at the Tarleton 44-yard line with 6:20 left, and the Texans stopped Chadron on a 4th-and-3 at the CSC 26 with 2:12 to play. Tarleton’s offense managed two lengthy scoring drives to complete the rally, first going 72 yards in 12 plays to score on running back Chavis McCollister’s 5-yard run late in the third quarter. D.T. Hopkins plowed up the middle from four yards out with 9:46 left in the game to put the Texans ahead 28-24, with that short touchdown run being set up by a 42-yard halfback pass from McCollister to wide receiver Damien Jackson.

QUARTERFINALS • NOVEMBER 24, 2001 TOOMEY FIELD • DAVIS, CALIF. (5,377)

AGGIES OUTSCORE TEXANS 21-8 IN FOURTH QUARTER; TARLETON’S SEASON ENDS IN 42-25 LOSS DAVIS, Calif. - Glenn Adriatico of UC Davis returned a fourth-quarter kickoff 66 yards for a touchdown and scored again less than two minutes later on a 55-yard reception as the Aggies pulled away from Tarleton State for a 42-25 victory in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals. UC Davis overcame Tarleton leads of 7-0 and 17-14 to pick up the win. The Aggies took a 21-17 lead in the third quarter as RB Sean Holleman scored his third TD of the game, then Davis got the ball right back after a Tarleton punt and pushed its edge to 28-17 on the first play of the fourth quarter with Mike Oliva’s 19-yard TD catch. The Texans answered as Tarleton QB Steve Kelly completed 5 of 7 passes on a 9-play drive that ended with Kelly hitting Aaron Lucas on a 14-yard TD pass. Chavis McCollister then scored on a 2-point conversion run, cutting the UC Davis lead to just 28-25 with 11:40 left in the game. Tarleton was flagged for an offsides penalty on the ensuing kickoff, and after being forced to kickoff again, Adriatico gathered the ball at his own 34-yard line and raced unscathed in front of the Tarleton bench for the game-breaking TD. The Texans picked up one first down on the next possession before turning the ball over on downs at the UC Davis 45-yard line. That’s where QB J.T. O’Sullivan delivered the knockout punch, hitting Adriatico in stride over the middle for a 55-yard TD toss at the 9:28 mark. The score was tied 14-14 at halftime, with Tarleton turning the ball over twice in UC Davis territory, including a D.T. Hopkins fumble at the Aggies 1-yard line. Tarleton gained 489 yards on 76 plays but was just 2 of 13 on 3rddown conversions, compared to an 8 for 11 effort by the Aggies

#3 TEXAS A&M-KINGSVILLE

1ST ROUND • NOVEMBER 22, 2003 JAVELINA STADIUM • KINGSVILLE, TEXAS (9,500)

TURNOVERS, JAVELINA DEFENSE DOOM TEXANS IN FIRST ROUND OF PLAYOFFS KINGSVILLE, Texas - The Tarleton State football team offered too many chances to Texas A&M-Kingsville on Saturday and lost 34-10 in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. The No. 21 Texansʼ Justin Parson fumbled the opening kickoff to put the Javelinas at the Texansʼ 37-yard line. The other problem with the ballgame for the Texans was the time of possession. The Javelinas won that stat 37:21 to 22:29. The Texans (8-4) also lost the turnover battle, giving up the fumble and a 68-yard interception return by TAMUKʼs Micahel Bragg. Bragg intercepted Tarleton quarterback Cliff Watkins at the goaline and returned it to the Tarleton 32. Problem No. 4 was the TAMUK defense. The Javelinas held the Texans 202 yards below their season offensive output, including 132 yards below the average passing game. TAMUK (10-1) got on the board first when Richard Hammond nailed a 44-yard field goal with 4:11 on the clock, capping a six-play, 12 yard drive that took 2:39 off the clock. A seven-yard Texan punt put TAMUK in good field position. Larry Williams put the Javelinas on the scoreboard again when he punched it in from four yards out. That capped a five-play, 25 yard drive that was set up when Chris Peterson, the Texan punter, had just a 19yard punt. Watkins scored his first rushing touchdown of the season when he ran a bootleg in from nine yards out. Jamie Guin added the kick with 11:50 left in the game to move the Texans within three, 10-7. The Javelinas got on the board with 1:05 left in the first half when Brent Holmes caught a 15-yard pass from Daniel Taylor. That play was set up by a 32- yard punt return by Eddie Moten to the Tarleton 19. Guin added a 48-yard field goal for the last Texan score with 11:50 left in the third quarter. TAMUK score three more times in the ballgame. Richard Hammond hit a 23-yard field goal with 8:07 left in the game to cap a 15-play, 51-yard drive. Holmes caught a 27-yard pass from Taylor with 5:25 left in the contest. That drive was set up by the Bragg interception. Williams put the final nail in the coffin when he punched it in from two yards out with 2:36 remaining. The Texans turned the ball over on downs in the middle of the field for the second time in the game. Williams ran for 36 yards on the play before the touchdown to set up the score. TAMUK defeated the Texans on Sept. 27, 23-15. Tarleton gained only 287 yards in the contest, including just 66 yards rushing. Watkins was 16-36 for 212 yards and no touchdowns. He had the one interception. TAMUK gained 287 yards of total offense, including 129 yards on the ground and 159 yards through the air.

Ken Jones led the team with 18 total tackles, including four solo and 14 assisted tackles. He had three tackles for a loss of four yards and half a sack for four yards. Erick Smith was second with 16 tackles. On the bright side, Watkins set a new school record for passing yards in a season with 5,547 this season. He also set a new record for attempts in a season with 437 attempts. The senior also set a new record for completions in a season with 264.

1ST ROUND • NOVEMBER 14, 2009 JAVELINA STADIUM • KINGSVILLE, TEXAS (13,352)

TEXANS MOVE ON TO SECOND ROUND; UPSET JAVELINAS 57-56 IN DOUBLE OVERTIME THRILLER KINGSVILLE, Texas – In one of the most dramatic games in school and NCAA history, the No. 12 Tarleton Texans needed a come-from-behind victory and double overtime to advance to the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs with a 57-56 win at No. 13 Texas A&M-Kingsville Saturday in front of a crowd of over 13,000 people. Tarleton improved to 10-2 on the season after quarterback Scott Grantham scored on a 20-yard run in the second overtime to pull Tarleton within one before running the two-point conversion in by himself to give the Texans the win. Overtime was set up with a 64-yard field goal by Tarleton’s Garrett Lindholm to tie the game as time expired after the Javelinas had scored with under a minute left in regulation. The kick was the second longest field goal in NCAA Division II history. Another record was set in the game when Devin Guinn set a new school mark for career receiving touchdowns with 26, passing Jeremy Madkins who earned 25 in 2003-06. With the Javelinas driving, Dominic Smith recovered a Javelina fumble at the Tarleton 23-yard line with just seconds left in the third quarter. The Texans then drove 77 yards over 14 plays and 6:59 and took the lead when Roderick Smith put the ball into the end zone from 11 yards out. Lindholm’s kick was good, and with 8:22 left in the contest, Tarleton led 43-39. Tarleton had three third-down conversions and one fourth-down conversion during the scoring drive. The Javelinas got the ball back with 4:56 left in the game and drove 61 yards on nine plays and scored the go-ahead touchdown. Brom’s kick put the score at 46-43 with 45 seconds left on the clock. Tarleton started at its own 26 with a false start penalty. Facing fourth and 18, Grantham hit Arthur Buckingham on a 35-yard pass for a first down. Then, facing a third and 10 from the Kingsville 47, Lindholm hit the kick that tied the game at 46 from 64 yards out as time expired. Buckingham had the hold, Kyle Piercefield the snap. Tarleton loss the coin toss in overtime and had the ball first. The Texans got to the eight, but Lindholm was forced to kick a 27-yard field goal after a delay of game penalty to go ahead 49-46. TAMUK then drove to the Tarleton two, but the Javelinas also had to kick, Brom’s good from 19 yards. The Javelinas then got the ball first in the second overtime, and TAMUK scored on a two-yard run from Winborn. The kick by Brom made it 56-49 and forced the Texans to do the same. Robertson started from the 25 and gained five yards before two incomplete passes forced the Texans into a fourth and five from the 20. Grantham scrambled to the right and saw an opening, and after breaking several tackles and spinning into the end zone, the Texans trailed by just one point. The Tarleton coaches called for the two-point conversion, and Grantham again went to the right side on a keeper and found the winning two-point conversion to give the Texans the 57-56 double overtime victory. Tarleton finished the afternoon with 530 yards of total offense, including 234 yards rushing and 296 yards through the air. The Javelinas had 402 yards of offense, including 238 yards on the ground and 164 yards passing. Robertson has 19 carries for 131 yards and a touchdown while Roderick Smith had 13 carries for 67 and a score. Grantham had five rushes for 35 yards and a score while Demby had two carries for one yard and a touchdown.

QUARTERFINALS • NOVEMBER 21, 2009 TOMLINSON STADIUM • ELLENSBURG, WASH. (5,400)

TEXAN OFFENSE LIMITED TO JUST TWO FIELD GOALS AS CWU WINS SECOND ROUND PLAYOFF GAME 27-6 ELLENSBURG, Wash. - The No. 12 Tarleton Texans had a hard time running the ball Saturday in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoff against No. 1 Central Washington, and just nine first downs were logged by the Texans in a 27-6 loss in Ellensburg, Wash. Tarleton’s season closed with the loss as the Texans finished 11-3 overall. The Texans handed the ball over on two fumbles, and the Wildcats scored 10 points off of those turnovers, while the Texans had an interception and had just three points. One of the Texan turnovers was deep into Wildcat territory. The Texans gained just 178 yards of total offense, Tarleton’s second worse out of the season after Abilene Christian held Tarleton to 172 total yards. On Saturday, Tarleton gained 192 yards through the air, but the Texans were limited to minus-17 yards on the ground. Bradley Bullitt intercepted a Cole Morgan pass and then lateralled the ball to Jeremy Sifford who returned it to the CWU 39-yard line to set up the first score of the game when Garrett Lindholm made a 39-yard field goal with 4:07 left in the first quarter. The score came after six plays and Tarleton covered just four yards in the scoring drive to make it 3-0 Texans. On the next drive for the Wildcats, Morgan hit Johnny Spevak for a 48yard touchdown. Garrett Rolsma had the extra point to put the home team ahead 7-3 with 2:33 left in the opening quarter. The drive took three plays to cover 50 yards. The Wildcats stretched the lead to 14-3 with 10:16 left in the first half when Randall Eldridge punched it in from two yards away. Rolsma added the kick to cap the two-play 15-yard drive that was set up by a Roderick Smith fumble at the Tarleton 22-yard line. The ball was scooped up by Taylor Breitzman and returned to the Tarleton 15. The Texans took the next drive 48 yards on 10 plays in 4:03 to set up a 31yard field goal by Lindholm. The Texans trailed 14-6 with 6:03 on the clock. CWU then added a field goal with 1:39 remaining in the second quarter when Rolsma connected on a 27-yard attempt to close an eight-play, 71yard drive that took 4:24 off the clock. The Wildcats led 17-6 at the half. The Texans stopped the Wildcats’ first drive of the second half, and the offense was driving down the field when Roderick Smith caught a screen pass from Scott Grantham, but the senior running back again fumbled – this time at the CWU 23-yard line. The home team then took the ball 69 yards on six plays to stretch its lead to 20-6 when Rolsma hit a 30-yard field goal with 8:07 left in the third quarter. Neither team scored again until the Wildcats put the last point of the game on the board. Eldridge punched the ball in from three yards out to end a nine-play, 67-yard drive. The kick by Rolsma put the final tally on the board with CWU winning, 27-6. Evan Robertson had 26 yards to lead the Texans’ rushing game on 10 carries. Keith Demby had one carry for two yards while Smith had five carries for minus-six yards and both fumbles. Grantham was 14-of-33 for 192 yards and was sacked twice. Devin Guinn led the team with three catches for 45 yards while Arthur Buckingham had three receptions for 34 yards. The Wildcats totaled 409 yards of total offense, including 122 yards on the ground and 287 yards through the air. Morgan was 21-of-31 for 287 yards and a touchdown with one sack and one interception. Spevak led the squad with five catches for 97 yards and a score while Eldridge had 18 carries for 101 yards and two touchdowns. Tarleton is now 2-3 all-time in Division II playoff games.

The LSC continues to build upon its proud history while intending to be recognized Midwestern State - Wichita Falls, Texas as the premier NCAA Division II conference in the nation. Tarleton State - Stephenville, Texas The league’s mission is to foster student participation and success among member Texas A&M-Commerce - Commerce, Texas institutions in NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of each institution’s Texas A&M-Kingsville - Kingsville, Texas total educational program. The LSC shall pursue student-athlete development with highest regard to the principles of academic excellence, West Texas A&M - Canyon, Texas sportsmanship, ethical conduct, resourcefulness, community service, gender equity, and diversity. The mission of the Lone Star Conference is to foster student participation and success among member institutions in NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of each institution’s total educational program. The LSC shall pursue student-athlete development with highest regard to the principles of academic excellence, sportsmanship, ethical conduct, resourcefulness, community service, gender equity, and diversity. The LSC - founded on April 25, 1931 - has developed from a five-team conference of Texas-based schools to a nine-member league that spans three states (Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico). The league continues to assist its member institutions in the maintenance of intercollegiate athletic programs that are compatible with the highest standards of education and competitive sports. Throughout the league’s 84-year history, various institutions have competed under the LSC banner. Today, only Texas A&M University-Commerce (then East Texas State) remains from the original group that was formed in 1931 when North Texas State, Southwest Texas State, Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin withdrew from the old Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The membership alignment has changed over the years, with current members added from 1954 to 1995. Texas A&M-Kingsville (formerly Texas A&I) joined in 1954, and Angelo State in 1968. Conference membership remained within the Texas borders until 1984 when Eastern New Mexico was admitted. Since then, the LSC has included members from Arkansas and Oklahoma. Cameron (1988, 1996) was added near the outset of an expansion phase, while Texas Woman’s (1989) and previous members West Texas A&M (1986, 1993) and Tarleton State (1968, 1994) joined the league soon after. Midwestern State was admitted early in 1995, while Incarnate Word joined the league in 2010. Harding reconnected with the league as an affiliate member in track and field from 2013-15, and McMurry was an affiliate member in indoor and outdoor track and field, and football in 2014. The University of Texas of the Permian Basin (UTPB) and Western New Mexico (WNMU) will become full conference members on July 1, 2016, and Oklahoma Panhandle State University (OPSU) will become an affiliate member in football on that same date. Past members of the LSC include Trinity, Houston, Lamar, Howard Payne, Sul Ross State, McMurry, Harding, Ouachita Baptist, Central Oklahoma, East Central (Okla.), Northeastern State (Okla.), Southeastern Oklahoma, Southwestern Oklahoma, Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word. While the LSC has maintained a long-standing tradition of competitive athletic programs for its members, many teams and individuals have gone on to distinguish themselves on the national stage. Entering 2015-16, LSC member institutions have collected 75 NCAA team national championships since the league joined the Division II membership in 1982. The LSC conducts conference championships in 16 sports (seven men and nine women). Men’s championships include football, cross country, basketball, baseball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and golf. Women’s titles are determined in volleyball, soccer, cross country, basketball, softball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis and golf. The conference office is located in Richardson, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas.

2015 Texan Football Media Guide

LSC HALL OF HONOR

Former Tarleton State football standout James Dearth has been named one of three inductees into the Lone Star Conference Hall of Honor, the league office announced in early August. Along with Dearth, the 2013 inductees also includes another football standout in Angelo State’s Clayton Weishuhn and a previous sports information director, Garner Roberts from Abilene Christian. These former players and administration staff make up the 2013 class of inductees for the LSC Hall of Honor, which recognizes outstanding individuals who have brought pride and honor to the conference through their contributions as an athlete or who have demonstrated a longterm commitment to the betterment of the conference as a coach or administrator. The inductees were chosen by a panel of athletic administrators throughout the league. “This year’s class is very deserving and seems to represent the contrasting ways people have been associated with our league over the years. You have a guy like James, who accomplished a whole lot in a very brief period of time, and then a guy like Garner, who really has made lifelong contributions to the conference. And, of course, Clayton’s experience of achieving individual success while also helping his team to accomplish national prominence is to be celebrated. These three truly speak to the tradition of our conference and are joining their rightful place among other Lone Star Conference greats,” said LSC Commissioner Stan Wagnon. Each of the inductees will receive the LSC’s signature Hall of Honor award, a 15-inch custom-sculpted eagle figurine mounted on a cherry wood base. The awards for Dearth, Roberts and Weishuhn are to be presented this fall. Here is a closer look at each of the 2013 inductees to the LSC Hall of Honor: James Dearth, Tarleton State, Football: Dearth, who is TSU’s first LSC Hall of Honor inductee, was a two-time second team All-American in football and an All-American in the shot put. Drafted in 1996 in the sixth round by the Cleveland Browns, he is a 12-year veteran of the NFL as a deep snapper. Dearth played for the Texans from 1996-98, tallying 77 catches for 992 yards and nine TDs in three seasons. He actually started at quarterback in TSU’s opening game in 1996 before moving to tight end, where he twice was named first team All-LSC South Division and second team NCAA Division II All-America. The Scurry, Texas, native was named the 1998 LSC South Offensive Lineman of the Year as he finished his senior season with 19 catches for 333 yards in the final four games. He also earned All-America honors in the shot put in 1998 while competing for Tarleton’s track and field team. Dearth was inducted into the TSU Hall of Fame in 2012. Dearth was enshrined into the Tarleton Athletics Hall of Fame Garner Roberts, Abilene Christian, Sports Information Director: Roberts served ACU as its Sports Information Director for 25 years from 1973-98, watching the Wildcats win 41 national championships and 89 Lone Star Conference titles, and then worked at the university in various marketing roles until 2004. He also served as the LSC media relations director from 1984-95, while still performing his duties at ACU. Roberts was inducted into the ACU Sports Hall of Fame in October 1999 as the 11th recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. A 1970 ACU graduate, he has worked at athletics events all over the globe, including track and field opening and closing ceremonies at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. In 1987, Roberts received CoSIDA’s Warren Berg Award and is a member of the CoSIDA Hall of Fame.

Clayton Weishuhn, Angelo State, Football: Weishuhn was a three-time first team All-LSC selection during his career from 1978-81 and one of the top defensive players to wear an ASU uniform. He played during the most successful era in Ram football as ASU posted a 39-8-1 record during his four years with the program. Weishuhn was a part of Ram teams that made three-straight postseason appearances, the only such streak in school history. As a freshman, he was a member of the ASU football team that won the 1978 NAIA national championship, going 14-0, the program’s only undefeated season. Weishuhn ended his playing career as the Rams’ all-time leading tackler with 523 stops, a record that he still holds to this day. After earning second team All-American honors as a junior, he was a consensus first team All-American pick after his senior season in 1981 after setting the school record with 173 tackles. Weishuhn earned first team All-LSC acclaim after each of his three final seasons (1979-81) and was a two-time selection for the J.V. Sikes Award (1980-81) given to the outstanding lineman in the LSC. He is one of nine former ASU players to go on to a playing career in the NFL as he was drafted by the New England Patriots in the third round of the 1982 draft.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

176

r. F. Dominic Dottavio, the 15th President of Tarleton State University, has focused the university team on providing a transformative educational experience through a student-focused, value-driven approach. Rooted in six core values – integrity, leadership, tradition, civility, excellence and service – Tarleton seeks to provide academic innovation, distinguished engagement with its communities and exemplary service. Since becoming president in 2008, Dr. Dottavio has led the university to record enrollments, added new undergraduate and graduate programs and opened new and renovated facilities providing state-ofthe-art technologies and teaching spaces. The renovated O.A. Grant Humanities building includes a modern communications teaching studio and laboratory as well as classrooms designed for team teaching and audiovisual support. The Dick Smith Library has opened a new Learning Commons to better provide students with the access and resources for effective study today. A new 500-bed residential living and learning center opened this fall to provide a more intensive educational experience for those with common interests and aspirations.

“Tarleton spirit and pride can be felt in the passion for our traditions and comes alive through our student-athletes when they are on the field, court and track. A successful athletic program like we have at Tarleton lifts the spirit of the entire Stephenville community.” - Dr. Dottavio With a record enrollment this fall nearing 12,000 students, including the rapid growth of academic centers in Fort Worth, Waco, Midlothian and online, Dr. Dottavio is overseeing a review of the campus master plan. Broaddus Planning is providing a guide for future Stephenville campus development, with potential projects to include a remodeling of Memorial Stadium, additional residence facilities and new academic buildings. Tarleton’s annual operating budget of $160 million makes a significant impact on the regional and state economy. Through its five academic colleges and the College of Graduate Studies, Tarleton employs more than 1,000 faculty and staff. Its economic impact reaches up to eight times its yearly expenses, including additional expenditures for capital construction projects. Faculty, staff and students also contribute to area communities through their civic and cultural engagements, including the annual Tarleton Round-Up Day when hundreds of Tarleton volunteers perform public services for the community, particularly senior citizens. Well-known to students and the community for being engaged and accessible, President Dottavio and his wife, Dr. C. Lisette Dottavio, CPA and senior tax accountant, live on campus in the historic Trogdon House, the first Tarleton President to do so since the home’s namesake, President W.O. Trogdon. Having grown up in Massillon, Ohio, Dr. Dottavio earned a bachelor’s degree in Natural Resource Management from The Ohio State University, a master’s degree in Environmental Studies from Yale

University, and a Ph.D. from Purdue University’s College of Agriculture. As regional chief scientist for the National Park Service, U.S. Department of Interior, he led research programs in coastal zone management, ecosystem restoration and conservation biology. Ohio State selected Dr. Dottavio from among 350,000 alumni to receive its Distinguished Citizenship Award and Purdue University recognized him as a Distinguished Alumnus of the College of Agriculture. Dr. Dottavio returned to higher education as the chief executive officer of The Ohio State University at Marion campus, where he also was a professor in the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. He became President of Heidelberg University, a 164-year-old private college in Tiffin, Ohio, prior to coming to Tarleton. The Dottavios have two grown children: Adrea, who lives in College Station, and Aaron, who lives with his wife, Lyndsey, and their son, Dominic, in Fountain Hills, Arizona.

TARLETON TRADITIONS The Texan Mascot

Formed when Tarleton was a junior college, the Ten Tarleton Peppers (TTP) and Ten Tarleton Sisters (TTS) are the two oldest organizations on campus. These spirit organizations for men and women were formed in 1921 and 1923, respectively. New members of these secret organizations are selected by current members. When first organized, the two groups met late at night and prepared signs for upcoming athletic events. The basic signs at this time were made of canvas and were stretched between trees on campus. The clubs met in the attic of the old recreation hall, which is now the Administration Annex. The identities of the senior members were disclosed in group photos when the yearbooks were distributed. Senior members stood facing the camera while others faced away from the camera with various and sundry items placed over their heads. The groups are sponsored by faculty and staff members.

Upon joining The Texas A&M University System in 1917, the Tarleton athletic teams became known as the “Junior Aggies.” In 1924, Coach W.J. Wisdom became disenchanted with the name and held a contest to select a new mascot. The winner would receive $5 and Wisdom would be the sole judge. One day, Wisdom was walking across campus and contemplating the fact that Tarleton was primarily an agricultural school when the name “Plowboys” popped into his head. He immediately adopted the new mascot and kept the $5. The symbol of the Plowboys was a muscular young man in overalls pushing a hand plow. In 1950, the mascot withstood a challenge when four additional names were suggested for a student vote. Plowboys won by a 2-1 margin. With the University’s changing image, however, another election was held in 1961 and students approved the name “Texans.” The horse and rider became the new athletic mascot of the university.

Purple Poo The TTS and TTP were precursors of the modern Purple Poo. The stillsecret organization makes Poo signs each Monday night, which appear on campus every Tuesday morning. The signs occasionally comment on campus political life and student life, but most promote school spirit. These signs are nailed to trees on campus. Members appear in public dressed in costumes and identity is closely guarded.

The Plowboys In 1984, a group of interested students established a spirit organization on campus and re-adopted the name “Plowboys,” which was the former mascot of the athletic teams. The Plowboys attend athletic events and other campus activities and are familiar to students because of their white shirts, hats and purple chaps.

Oscar P Legend has it that John Tarleton, founder of the university, had a pet duck named Oscar P who went everywhere with him. The two were so close that Oscar P is said to be buried with Tarleton. At various student activities, the Purple Poo rally Tarleton students by raising the spirit of Oscar P. This is done by kneeling and pounding the ground while calling out “Hey, Oscar P.” Although this has become one of the favorite traditions, there is no evidence to verify the story.

The Airplane Incident

The Purple Poo is one of the oldest secret spirit organizations in the State of Texas.

At the height of the Tarleton-North Texas Agriculture College rivalry, frequent raids by opposing students were common. Bonfires were the primary objectives, and as described in the J-TAC newspaper (Tarleton’s school paper), the students were driven by “the desire to cause premature conflagration of the accumulated rubbish.” On Nov. 29, 1939, two days before the traditional football game, and in retaliation for the burning of the NTAC bonfire by Tarleton students the night before, an NTAC student and accomplice flew over the Tarleton campus and attempted to bomb the bonfire. In their efforts to repel the air attack, Tarleton students on guard threw various objects at the plane. L.V. Risinger hurled a 2x4 into the air which struck the propeller and disabled the aircraft. The pilot glided over what is now the Hall of Presidents and crash-landed in a clump of trees. While the NTAC student and his buddy were launching the air attack, three truck loads of NTAC students were attempting to invade campus by land. Both the land and air attacks were repulsed. The NTAC students were captured, given a block-T haircut and sent on their way. The Homecoming bonfire has been dedicated to L.V. Risinger, defender of the bonfire, who died in 1994.

AROUND THE CAMPUS

180

Student Recreation Sports Center The 70,000 square-foot sports recreation center, complete with weight rooms, track and gym, opened in the fall of 2007. The twostory building holds four racquetball courts, a weight room, cardio equipment as well as multi-purpose rooms, climbing wall and “outdoor pursuits” area, allowing students the opportunity to sign up for such outdoor items as kayaks, tents and camping equipment. The Tarleton Rec Sports Center’s mission is to provide opportunities to engage in activities, programs and special events that promote healthy active lifestyles, leadership development, social interaction and educational opportunities. These opportunities exist through programs, services and facilities that reflect the diverse needs of the Tarleton State University family. The facility is located adjacent to the home side of Memorial Stadium.

Dining Facility

The state-of-the-art dining facility opened in 2010, ending 80 years of service in the old facility. The 42,000 squarefoot structure replaced the original dining hall constructed in 1928 and features buffet lines with various cuisines and a salad bar. The two-story facility also features a convenience store, executive meeting rooms and a cafe with wireless networks. Tarleton’s previous dining hall only accommodated approximately 350 students at one time, whereas the new facility has a capacity of 700 students. For student convenience, the new dining hall is an extension of the Barry B. Thompson Student Center. The facility sits between the student center and the Tarleton Control Center on Vanderbilt Street in the center of the campus.

TARLETON ATHLETIC FACILITIES Tarleton Softball Complex

Cecil Ballow Baseball Complex has been home to Tarleton State baseball since the program was reinstated in 1988. Construction of the facility began in January 1987, and it was officially named the Cecil Ballow Baseball Complex in December of the same year to honor the school’s former Dean of Students who also was a pioneer in baseball at Tarleton, coaching the team for 10 years. The field sits adjacent to the Tarleton Horticultural Building on the south side of West Washington Street (Business 377). The playing surface is natural grass and the outfield is framed in center and right by pecan trees. The left field fence runs parallel to Washington Street with a state-of-the-art scoreboard in left center field. The dimensions of the field are 320 feet down the lines, 365 feet in the alleys, and 400 feet to center. An extended net behind and above the left field fence keeps homerun balls from entering traffic on Washington Street. In 1996 the field was given a new look with the addition of a 120-feet long and 10-feet high extension to the centerfield fence. The field was lighted for nighttime play in March of 1990 and backstop netting was added prior to the 2015 season. The baseball facility features red brick enclosed dugouts, while permanent seating for 550 spectators wraps around the fence behind home plate. There are bleacher seats down the baselines and the reserved center section has chairback seating. A fully functional press box is located atop of the center seating section and provides ample working space for the scoreboard operator, official statistician and members of the media.

The Tarleton State University Softball Complex has served as home to the TexAnns since the program was started in 1996. Construction on the field began in the spring of 1995 and the field was ready for play in January of 1996. Lights were added to the facility prior to the 2012 season. Tarleton played its first varsity game on the field on February 19, 1996, winning the second game of a doubleheader against Schreiner College in extra innings. The field dimensions are 190-feet down the lines and 220-feet to straight away centerfield. The field itself is laid out in the same direction as the adjacent Cecil Ballow Field, Tarleton’s home for baseball games. A scoreboard is in left field and the field is surrounded by chain link fence with windscreen. Among the improvements since the field was initially constructed are the installation of permanent bleachers with a seating capacity of 250, the construction of a press box, and the painting of the Tarleton softball logo (by former Tarleton third baseman Jalayne Rinewalt) on the Tarleton (third-base side) dugout. The grounds also include a hitting tunnel, locker rooms and storage facilities.

Tarleton Memorial Stadium Memorial Stadium on the campus of Tarleton was completed in 1977. An artificial surface was installed by ProGreen on the field in 2004, turning the surface into one of the best in the Lone Star Conference. Renovations to the west stands has increased seating capacity to 7,000 spectators for athletic events. The concrete bleachers rest against a dirt berm on the east (home) side of the field with a center section featuring 816 seats with backrests forming a purple “T”. The lower level features a concession stand with restrooms, while the press box resides on the upper level. The press box is heated and air-conditioned and is more than 100 feet long. It includes ample working space for press, scouts, sideline communications, film crews, statisticians, public address announcer, scoreboard operators, home and visitor radio stations, and a VIP room. Oscar Frazier Memorial Track - an eight-lane, all-weather track - borders the artificial grass football field. The stadium is bordered east and west by hard-surfaced parking lots, north by the intramural complex, and south by the Physical Education Field Facility, completed in 1989. The stadium is easy to access from Business 377 (Washington Street) by turning at the Harbin Street intersection.

Wisdom Gym Wisdom Gymnasium is located in the Health and Physical Education Building on the northwest corner of the campus, adjacent to Memorial Stadium. The facility serves as home for Tarleton Basketball and Volleyball. The gymnasium, named for longtime Tarleton athletics director and coach W.J. Wisdom, was built in 1970 at a cost of $1.3 million. A $1.7-million expansion project was completed in 1977. The total physical education complex covers 114,343 square feet of floor space. The Texan and TexAnn basketball teams play in the main gym that seats 3,000 spectators in both the upper and lower seating arrangements combined. Seating on the lower south side has chair backs, which were installed in 1999. The new hardwood floor has been refinished and has an updated paint job with the 3D ‘T’ logo in center court. Prior to the 2012-13 season, the railings of the upper deck were replaced by glass windows - replacing the old iron rails. The men’s and women’s basketball locker rooms have received several updates over the last couple of years, including new carpeting, new lockers and new technology for watching film. New scoreboards were placed on both ends of the gym, replacing the old four-way scoreboard above halfcourt, prior to the 2013-14 season. A new video board was also installed. The TexAnn volleyball team plays in its own gym, known as the “South Gym” or the “Volleyball Gym.” The extra gymnasium was completed in 1977 as part of a $1.7-million expansion project to the existing building and quickly became the home court for the TexAnn volleyball team. The court is a hardwood floor, which can be viewed by a capacity crowd of 700 spectators.

IRON TEXAN WEIGHT ROOM

182

The Athletic Performance Weight Room is where the Texans and TexAnns work out, following a year-round plan to maximize their athletic potential through sound strength and conditioning training. The Mission Statement for Athletic Performance states, “Tarleton State University Athletic Performance strives to provide Tarleton Athletics the best organized and best supervised athletic performance enhancement, injury prevention, and character development program possible within NCAA guidelines.” From the layout of the weight room to the writing of the workout programs and the execution of the workouts, the Tarleton Athletic Performance Staff, led by the Assistant Athletic Director for Athletic Performance (Master Strength and Conditioning Coach Rod Cole), creates an environment for maximizing the athletic abilities of TSU student-athletes. Operating with a philosophy of POWER, LOVE, AND SELF-DISCIPLINE, the Athletic Performance staff motivates the Tarleton student-athletes to approach life with a spirit of aggressiveness and assertiveness, to commit whole-heartedly, and to consistently discipline themselves to “do the hard things” necessary to be successful in athletics and in life. In his career, Coach Cole has trained about 150 athletes who have gone on to perform in the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, CFL, international professional basketball leagues, or the Olympics. Some of the most notable athletes trained by Coach Cole are NFL players Darren Sproles, Jordy Nelson, Vonn Miller, Ryan Tannehill, and Terence Newman. Whatever your goals are as an athlete, Coach Cole and his staff can help you reach them. “Tarleton State is committed to having a high-level Athletic Performance program,” states Coach Cole. “Few universities at any level do strength and conditioning the way we do it here. With a full-time assistant coach, a graduate assistant, and a host of interns that have finished their master’s degrees, are grad students, or are undergraduates, we customarily have a staff of about 20 each year - you are not going to find that size of staff many places. We will be able to provide the best organization, supervision and coaching possible because of our staff size and staff quality.” Each year Coach Cole will mentor a number of young coaches who will fulfill the requirements to sit for the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches association certification test to earn the GOLD STANDARD of strength and conditioning certifications. At Tarleton, we strive to coach the whole person. Required strength and conditioning activities are limited to eight hours or less a week by NCAA legislation, but the Athletic Performance strives to coach the student-athletes on what to do in “the other 22 hours a day” and “the other 160 hours a week” to maximize the effect of the training and practice time. Taking proper care of the body - nutrition, sleep and restoration, and the mental approach to one’s sport, as well as character development, are all points of emphasis. Many student-athletes stay and work out on campus during the summer to allow for the best opportunity for success in the school year. Those who are not on campus in the summer are provided a workout plan for the time they are away to encourage that they return in the best condition possible to start the year each August. The accomplishments of Tarleton’s athletic teams have fostered more and more involvement in the summer program as time goes on, showing a continued commitment to athletic success. The spacious two-level Athletic Performance Weight Room boasts top quality equipment: 10 Power Lift platforms with top-of-the-line Uesaka bumper plates, 10 Power Lift half-racks with benches and Iron Grip plates, Iron Grip dumbbells from 5-130 pounds, two Vertimax jump trainers, and some 60 kettlebells, along with other equipment, provides ample tools to develop strength and power on the main weight room floor. The upper-level cardio area has a Cybex Arc Trainer, two treadmills, two steppers, an elliptical trainer, and a recumbent bicycle for cardiovascular training. The comprehensive Tarleton Athletic Performance program involves far more than just strength training. Speed, agility, quickness, flexibility, mobility, and conditioning are all addressed and improved in the weight room, but also on the court or field. Some sand pit training is included as well, because running in sand involves up to six times more muscular involvement than running on a court or field. Each sport and every athlete is different, but the same philosophy of POWER, LOVE, and SELFDISCIPLINE will help each Tarleton student-athlete maximize their potential as a student, as an athlete, and as a person.

2015 Texan Football Media Guide

onn Reisman begins his 24th year as the athletics director at Tarleton, where he has also begun his 28th season as head coach of the men’s basketball program. Under Reisman’s direction, Tarleton is flourishing not only on the basketball court, but in nearly every sport. The Tarleton Athletics Department finished the 2014-15 season as the No. 23 ranked department in the nation in NCAA Division II based on success. The athletics director’s responsibilities extend far outside the lines of the playing surfaces. One must be more than just an administrator. He or she must also be a public relation’s specialist, a catalyst and a fundraiser. As Tarleton grows, the expectations and responsibilities grow. Reisman has spent the last 22 years focusing on building the Texan Club into one of the leading booster organizations in NCAA Division II. “Our booster club is better than a lot of Division I schools,” Reisman said. “However, the success of the club depends on raising money every year.” The Texan Club has previously been recognized as a successful organization in the National Association of College Directors of Athletics publication for its fundraising efforts and success. “People around the country recognize we have a successful athletics program and booster club,” Reisman said. “When you walk into Wisdom Gym, it is apparent there is lots of support for our teams when you see all of the banners on the wall.” Of course, the point of the sponsorships is for more than hanging signs on the wall. Lonn Reisman “We raise a lot of money,” Reisman said. “We raise enough to fulfill 10 full scholarships, and the rest of the ATHLETICS DIRECTOR money goes for student-athlete enhancement through study hall tutors and monitors as well as supporting the programs. We definitely would not be as successful if we didn’t have the support of the Texan Club corporate sponsors and individual members.” The Texan Club has been around since the early 1990s, and Reisman said each year the organization keeps getting bigger, but so does the cost of the success. “It took over 15 years to get the sports programs to a national presence in Division II, but we want to be pushing for a national championship in every sport,” Reisman said. “Our programs are now being recognized not only on a regional level, but nationally as well. “We are at a pivotal status in our program, and most of the sports are knocking on the door of a national championship,” Reisman said. “We have to work with the Texan Club to help provide these coaches with the support and backing they need to get there.” In a time of budget cutting and decreased spending, an athletics department should focus not on how to save money, but on how to make money. Bridging the gap between the community and the athletics department is a key to making a booster club and corporate sponsorship program effective. “The bridge we built several years ago is still solid and continues to get people involved,” Reisman said. “As you see the enthusiasm grow, the athletics director needs to learn to ask for help because he or she can’t do it all on his/her own.” The efforts of Reisman and his staff have led the Texan Club’s expansion from eight corporate members to over 190, along with more than 200 individuals and 25 small businesses. They have also have reached out to former student-athletes through the T-Club. Reisman has also been involved in facility improvements while heading the Tarleton athletics programs. Memorial Stadium received an artificial surface in 2004 and a new concession stand and bathrooms have been added on the visitors’ side. The lobby of Wisdom Gym looks much different with the building of the Hall of Fame wall and trophy cases as well as cosmetic changes throughout the building. Both the Tarleton tennis courts and softball complex have been upgraded with state-of-the-art lighting systems. Another area that has improved under Reisman is athletic scholarships. Of course, the Texans joined the Lone Star Conference and the NCAA Division II ranks in 1994, and now all but two sports (men’s and women’s track and field) are fully funded in scholarship aid. In 2006, Reisman led the way for Tarleton students to vote for an athletics fee that helped fund the scholarships and improve the overall wellbeing of the athletics department and its programs. The athletics director led another charge for updated fees to increase over the next two years to help the Texans and TexAnns keep up with the rest of the LSC and nation. Reisman has also helped push the academic success of the athletics program. The Texans and TexAnns boast a higher graduation rate than the overall university graduation rate. As basketball coach, Reisman has positioned the Texans as a national power. He led Tarleton to a 589-233 record over the past 27 seasons, with last year’s team going going 31-4, reaching the NCAA Division II Final Four for the second time in school history, winning the Lone Star Conference regular season and tournament championship and hosting the NCAA Division II South Central Regional. His Texans defeated Angelo State in front of a capacity crowd in Wisdom Gym for Tarleton’s third regional championship. In 2005-06, his team finished 27-7 after winning its second straight NCAA Division II South Central Regional title and reaching the Elite Eight in Springfield, Mass. To Reisman, it is not just about winning on the court that matters, he wants every Tarleton athletics program to excel both on and off the field. Graduating students is more important than winning any contest. “I want each and every program to not just say they are competing for a national championship, I want them to actually do so. I believe with the success we have had in the recent years, this should become a reality,” Lonn Reisman is not only the athletic director of Tarleton State University, but one of the most successful and respected basketball coaches in the nation with nearly 600 career wins at Tarleton. Reisman said.

2015 Texan Football Media Guide

COVERING THE TEXANS Tarleton football fans can follow the Texans this fall by listening to the Tarleton Sports Network. KTRL FM (90.5 FM) in Stephenville through Tarrant County will serve as the flagship station, and the station also will be streaming live on-line broadcasts. The internet broadcasts will be available on the Tarleton Sports Online web site, which can be accessed at: www. TarletonSports.com. With the online broadcasts, the network covers not only Texas, but also worldwide where internet access is available.

VOICES OF THE TEXANS Radio Coverage of Tarleton Athletic events will have a new identity and home in 2014-15 with the creation of the Tarleton Sports Network presented by North Texas Ford Dealers and the switch to 90.5 FM KTRL. Casey Hogan, the 2013-2014 LSC Broadcaster of the Year, returns to the broadcast booth this year as the “Voice of the Texans” and will be accompanied, during football season, by color analyst Keltin Wiens and sideline reporter, Travis Smith. Hogan enters his sixth year as the “Voice of the Texans”, providing play-by-play coverage of Tarleton sports to listeners across the Cross Timbers area and worldwide through the web-streamed broadcast. Casey is also in his fourth year as the Assistant Athletic Director for Development and Major Gifts at Tarleton State University. In his role, Casey assists the Athletic Director with fundraising and major gift opportunities to support Tarleton Athletics. In August of 2014, Hogan was instrumental in securing the largest advertising agreement in the history of Tarleton Athletics with the North Texas Ford Dealers, securing the naming rights to the Tarleton Sports Network. In his role as the Voice of Tarleton Athletics, Casey provides play-by-play action for football and men’s basketball, as well as select women’s basketball, softball, and baseball games. Hogan started as a sideline reporter/color commentator for the Tarleton Athletic Radio Network in 2006. Originally from Arlington, Hogan graduated from Tarleton in 2007 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. He then moved to Washington D.C. to pursue a career in public service. Hogan served as Executive Assistant and Legislative Assistant to Congressman John R. Carter. He was then asked to serve as Congressman Francisco “Quico” Canseco’s Legislative Director, a position he held prior to his appointment at Tarleton. In high school and college, Casey was a very active member of the National FFA Organization. After completing a year as a State Officer, Casey decided to run for National FFA Office. After losing the nomination in 2002, he was elected as the 2003-2004 National FFA Western Region Vice-President at the 76th National FFA Convention. In his role, Casey took a year away from college to travel over 120,000 miles on behalf of 500,000 members. He also served two terms as Student Body President while at

Tarleton and was named Mr. Tarleton State University in 2006. In May of 2013, Casey was elected to the Stephenville City Council, serving in that capacity until May of 2015. “Fans can expect the most prepared and professional broadcast in the Lone Star Conference,” said Hogan. “My goal is to bring the listener to every game and make them feel as if they are sitting the stands watching the action. I believe that we have built one of the best broadcast experiences in all of NCAA Division II Athletics in terms of talent, equipment and broadcast quality and I am excited to build upon the success of the Tarleton Sports Network.” Joining the broadcast team for the second consecutive season is Keltin Wiens. Wiens will be the color commentator for Texan football broadcasts after serving as the sideline reporter last season. In addition to football, Wiens will also serve as the “Voice of the TexAnns” during basketball season, providing play by play coverage of TexAnn basketball for the second season. “Keltin Wiens is one of the top young broadcasters in the country and we are very lucky to have him at Tarleton”, says Hogan. Wiens came to Stephenville after graduating from West Texas A&M University with a degree in mass communication in December of 2013. While in college, Wiens covered a wide array of sports, including football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and softball. The final member of the football broadcast team is Travis Smith. After serving as a spotter and broadcast assistant last season, Travis Smith will move down to the field to serve as the sideline reporter in 2015. Smith graduated from Tarleton State University with a degree in political science in May of 2015. While attending Tarleton, he served as the sports editor for Texan News Service and Texan TV, and is currently the managing editor of the Glen Rose Reporter.
