HEAD COACH FRANKIE DEBUSK Frankie DeBusk is entering his 13th season as head football coach at Tusculum College. Since taking over the TC football program, DeBusk has built the Pioneers into yearly contenders in NCAA Division II, resul�ng in eight winning seasons in the last 10 years. He is also serving the dual role as athle�c director at Tusculum, a posi�on he assumed in August 2007. Over the past 10 seasons, TC has posted a 64-44 mark including a 9-4 tally sheet in 2008, while claiming the program’s second South Atlan�c Conference Championship and earning the school’s first berth to the NCAA II Football Playoffs. His 71 victories on the Pioneer sidelines makes DeBusk the winningest gridrion coach in Tusculum history. His victory tally is the fourth most in SAC history, while his 37 league wins are the seventh most in the conference record book. In 2008, DeBusk’s team achieved success both on and off the field. The nine wins �ed a school single-season record, including victories in four of its last five games. The Pioneers won its last three regular season games, including a thrilling 45-44 win over 15th-ranked Carson-Newman College to claim a share of the SAC �tle. DeBusk mentored five All-Americans on the 2008 squad, including the program’s most prolific quarterback in Corey Russell. Russell established 15 school, conference and NCAA II records, while finishing as a na�onal finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, which recognizes the Division II College Football Player of the Year. Russell was named the SAC and Region Offensive Player of the Year. He was also named Male Athlete of the Year by both Tusculum and the South Atlan�c Conference. For his efforts, DeBusk was named the SAC Coach of the Year for the first �me in his career. He led Tusculum to the second round of the NCAA Playoffs as the Pioneers ended the season ranked No. 16 in the American Football Coaches Associa�on (AFCA) poll. He was later named the AFCA Super Region 2 Coach of the Year. The 2008 club also boasted Academic All-America® �ght end Jarrell NeSmith. NeSmith was named the SAC Scholar Athlete, but he would later haul in the biggest award the league has to offer as he was named the 2008-09 recipient of the SAC Presidents Award. In his career, NeSmith earned the SAC Scholar Athlete Award three �mes (2007, 2008, 2009), a first by any league football player. He also repeated as SAC President’s Award winner in 2009-2010. On only three occasions has a football player earned the SAC Presidents Award in the 21-year history of the honor (all three were from Tusculum). NeSmith earned Academic All-America® First Team honors in 2009 and was a Na�onal Football Founda�on Scholar Athlete and was one of 16 na�onal finalists for the NFF William J. Campbell Trophy, which was won by Florida’s Tim Tebow. From 2000-05, the Pioneers recorded five consecu�ve winning seasons, a first in school history. In 2003, Tusculum posted a 9-2 record, including 6-1 in league play to earn the school it’s first SAC Football crown. The 2003 team finished listed in the top 50 na�onally in 10 sta�s�cal categories and finished the year ranked 19th in NCAA II. That squad also featured five All-Americans, including Harlon Hill Trophy na�onal finalist and Pi�sburgh Steelers’ second round dra� pick Ricardo Colclough. 2008 South Atlan�c Conference Coach of the Year In 2001, the Pioneers posted an 8-2 record as that squad �ed for second place in the conference and finished ranked 21st in the na�on. That team also went undefeated at home (6-0) for the first �me in the modern era of football at Tusculum. The .800 winning percentage made TC the second winningest gridiron squad of the 19 four-year ins�tu�ons that sponsor football in the state of Tennessee in 2001. Only the University of Tennessee (11-2/.846) had a be�er season. Solid special teams play has been a trademark of DeBusk’s teams as the Pioneers are consistently ranked amongst the na�on’s leaders in pun�ng, kicking and returns. In 2005, Octavius Love was the NCAA II Na�onal Sta�s�cal Champion for punt return average (20.2 ypr). For his efforts, Love garnered All-American recogni�on. The 2001 team boasted two of the best special team players in the land in All-American return specialist Donald Amaker and All-American kicker Paul Czerniak. Czerniak led the na�on in field goals, while Amaker was listed na�onally in punt and kickoff returns. Colclough also garnered All-American considera�on in 2003 as one of the top return specialists in the land. In 2008, punter John Gregory added his name to this pres�gious list earning AllAmerica recogni�on. Gregory finished third in the na�on in 2008, averaging 43.5 yards per punt, which was a new school single-season record. DeBusk’s 2000 club posted the fi�h-best win-improvement in the country by going from 2-9 in 1999 to 7-4 a year later. In 1998, the energe�c DeBusk took over a program that won only three games in its two previous seasons, becoming the third gridiron skipper since the program’s reinstatement in 1991. In 12 seasons, his teams have rewri�en the Tusculum record book by equaling or establishing over 100 team and individual marks. Since joining the South Atlan�c Conference in 1999, 64 players have earned All-Conference recogni�on, including 24 All-Region honorees and 16 All-Americans. Since his arrival at Tusculum, 25 players have con�nued their playing career at the professional ranks, including three in the Na�onal Football League. Colclough was the 38th overall pick by the Steelers, becoming the highest dra�ed player in South Atlan�c Conference history. Colclough became the third player in the history of the South Atlan�c Conference to earn a Super Bowl ring as the Steelers defeated the Sea�le Seahawks in Super Bowl XL. Kevin Wolco�, a The DeBusk Family 2003 All-American receiver, who led the na�on in recep�ons, signed as a free Jennifer, Ty aand nd Frankie agent with the Tennessee Titans.

NISWONGER SPORTS COMPLEX/PIONEER FIELD Tusculum College is very fortunate to have some of the finest intercollegiate athle�c facili�es in the na�on and the Niswonger Sports Complex and Pioneer Field are no excep�on. The home of Tusculum Football since the reinstatement of the sport in 1991 and soccer since 1965, experienced major renova�ons in 2000. The result is one of the most beau�ful and func�onal athle�c venues to be found on any college campus. Tusculum College alumnus and Board of Trustee member Sco� M. Niswonger fully funded the mul�-million dollar renova�on to Pioneer Field and the construc�on of the accompanying indoor prac�ce facility and field house located behind the west end zone. Niswonger also funded the construc�on of the 2,500-seat baseball stadium, located behind the east end zone of Pioneer Field. Pioneer Park, home of Tusculum Baseball and the Greeneville Astros, has received rave reviews as one of the finest baseball venues in the na�on. J.C. “Red” Edmonds Softball Field also received renovations with a state-ofthe-art playing surface and the installation of a new lighting system. The Niswonger Sports Complex was dedicated Oct. 25, 2003 in ceremonies prior to the Tusculum. Carson-Newman football game. Renova�ons to Pioneer Field included a two-story press box, new ligh�ng, concession areas, restroom facili�es and improvements to spectator sea�ng. The press box facility consists of 8,000-square feet designed to match the architectural style of the campus’s most classic buildings. The press box can accommodate 30 members of the media as well as coaches, film crews and scouts. A President’s Suite was also constructed and is located on the second floor at midfield and can accommodate 30 fans. Restroom facili�es were also added to the second floor. Below the press box facility, on the stadium concourse are concession areas and restroom facili�es. The concession area is located facing the playing field so fans won’t miss any of the ac�on. Sea�ng for 2,500 spectators is located on the north grandstand, including 200 chair back seats. Special orange “cap seats” were added during the renova�on phase along with the addi�on of new bleachers and aisle railings. Bleachers on the “visitors’ side” were constructed providing sea�ng for 1,000 spectators, giving Pioneer Field its present sea�ng capacity of 3,500. With the addi�on of grass bern areas on the north side of the complex and behind the east end zone, Pioneer Field could accommodate 5,000 spectators. That came to pass in 2003 as over 4,100 fans packed Pioneer Field to watch Tusculum defeat archrival Carson-Newman 2718. The field house behind the west end zone features locker room facili�es that can be divided into four separate dressing areas. Also featured in the field house is a dressing area for officials, a conference room and prepara�on areas for athle�c training and medical staffs. On the roof of the field house, an end zone filming area was also constructed. Along with the field house, concession areas and restrooms were built to serve spectators in the south grandstand area. New ligh�ng and standards were added, which has greatly improved the amount of illumina�on during home events. The ligh�ng system is iden�cal to the one used at the University of Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium in Knoxville. The bermuda grass playing surface, considered one of the best in the region, also received special a�en�on. New sod on the sideline areas for soccer and in both end zones were added. New parking facili�es were added in close proximity to the stadium and the indoor prac�ce facility. In its history, Pioneer Field has hosted several tournaments and championships over the years, including the Food Lion South Atlan�c Conference Soccer Tournament three �mes (2000-02), the NCAA Division II Region Men’s Soccer Tournaments three �mes (2004, 2007, 2008) and the 2005 NCAA II Southeast Region Women’s Soccer Championship. In 2008, the facility hosted host the both the first round of the NCAA Football Playoffs and the NCAA Southeast Men’s Soccer Regional on the same weekend. Last year, TC hosted a NCAA II Men’s Soccer Na�onal Quarterfinal match.

2010 Tusculum Football -- 13


2010 PROSPECTUS The Tusculum College Pioneers return 43 le�ermen and 15 starters when they kickoff off the 2010 football campaign. Head coach Frankie DeBusk is entering his 13th season at the helm of the Pioneer program as he and his squad look to rebound from last year’s 3-7 record. But despite the disappoin�ng result, the Pioneers ended 2009 on a strong note, winning two of its last three games facing the fourth most difficult schedule in NCAA Division II. One of the posi�ve notes to come out of last year was that Tusculum head coach Frankie DeBusk the youthful Tusculum squad gained some valuable playing experience, which should help the program for the upcoming season and beyond. The offensive unit, which boasted one of the top passing a�acks in the country, returns six starters, led by sophomore quarterback Bo Cordell, the 2009 South Atlan�c Conference Offensive Freshman of the Year. The 6-1, 185-pound Cincinna�, Ohio product enjoyed one of the finest seasons ever recorded by a Tusculum quarterback. In his first Tusculum campaign, Cordell passed for 3,458 yards and 23 touchdowns. His passing yardage tally established a new NCAA II Freshman record and was the second most in school history and the fourth most by a SAC signal caller. His 345.8 passing yards per game were tops in the league and fourth in the na�on. He also accumulated 3,355 total SAC Offensive Freshman of the Year Bo Cordell offensive yards, which was first in the conference and sixth in NCAA II. As a rookie, Cordell established the top three single-game passing performances in school history, including his school-record 524-yard effort against na�onally-ranked Carson-Newman College in the season-finale. The two-�me SAC Offensive Player of the Week went 277-for-445 for a .622 comple�on percentage, which is second in Tusculum history. Redshirt freshman Torrey Slaven was the No. 2 quarterback coming out of spring prac�ce. The 6-1, 190-pound na�ve of Winfield, Tenn., threw a 30-yard TD pass with 55 seconds remaining to lead his squad to a 22-19 win in the Tusculum Spring Game. Slaven played his prep football at Oneida High School where he was a two-�me All-Region and All-Tri-County selec�on. Gone from last year’s squad are Tusculum’s top four receivers including AllAmericans Ryan Tallent and Jarrell NeSmith. TC’s top returning wideout is junior Rashaad Carter. The 2010 Preseason All-SAC Second Team pick posted 35 catches for 510 yards and three touchdowns a year ago. Also garnering Preseason All-SAC honors is senior Calvin Bri�. Bri�, a 6-0, 190-pound product of Augusta, Ga., has the ability to be one of Tusculum’s best big-play receivers in school history. He enters his final collegiate campaign averaging 22.68 yards per recep�on during his career, which is tops in school history. He has accounted for 1,497 receiving yards (7th in TC All-SAC receiver Calvin Bri� history) and 17 touch-

IN MEMORIAM

TOM BRYANT February 14, 1952 - June 3, 2010

This season, Tusculum College mourns the loss of former Pioneer head football coach Tom Bryant, who passed away suddenly on June 3, 2010 in Rome, Ga. Bryant served as Tusculum’s football coach from 1991-94 where he posted a 15-24 record in his four seasons on the Greeneville, Tenn. campus. Bryant orchestrated the reinstatement of football at TC a�er a 41-year absence of the sport at Tennessee’s oldest college. A�er his first Tusculum team went winless in the 1991 campaign, Bryant’s Pioneers rebounded by going 15-14 in his final three seasons combined, including a 6-3 record in 1994. “This is a sad �me for all Pioneer fans,” said Frankie DeBusk, Tusculum Director of Athle�cs and head football coach. “Coach Bryant led our college football program during a �me of great transi�on as the Pioneers searched for a playing iden�ty. He was a true ambassador of the game of football and will be greatly missed.” While at Tusculum, Bryant mentored 16 NAIA All-District 24 performers, while 56 of his players earned All-Mid-South Conference honors. He also coached the program’s first two All-Americans in school history in Ma� Shults and Eric Claridy. Coach Bryant is survived by his wife Laura and their two sons, Champ and Aus�n.

MULTIPLE 100-YARD RUSHING PERFORMANCES On just six occasions since the reinstatement of football at Tusculum College that two Pioneers have combined to rush for more than 100 yards each in a single game! The first occurred in 1993 when All-American Eric Claridy and Ed Curry ran for 126 and 115 yards respec�vely vs. Tennessee Wesleyan. The most recent “mul�ple 100” happened in 2000 when Raymond Rains tallied 128 yards and Aaron Claridy rushed for 112 at Newberry College. Rk.
