When one thinks of the College of William and Mary, the first thought might be of the history of the institution -- or perhaps its place in American history. Or, possibly those who attended might think back to their good times, the unforgettable campus or their focus of study. But none of those things are what makes a place of learning great. Though the College has them all -- it is the quality of the graduate and the ability to excel in whichever field of work or study that he or she pursues. “The lessons you learn in athletics are life lessons. You For Tribe Football, the learn how to deal with success. You learn how to deal same principles apply, as many with failure. Expectations are high at William and Mary and thereʼs nothing wrong with that, youʼve got to learn former football players have to embrace them. I think thatʼs why so many young peogone on to have successful caple that come through this university and this athletic dereers in the business world, propartment are successful. On a day-to-day basis, there are fessional sports and a number exceptional young people walking around this place and of other areas. itʼs a proving ground. Itʼs a special place.” Among the notables are Mike Tomlin (’95), Captain 1994 Mike Tomlin (‘95), who was Head Football Coach named the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers on January 22, 2007. J.D. Gibbs (‘92) is the team president of the Joe Gibbs Racing organization, while Tom Dexter (‘92), the senior vice president of Lehman Brothers, is one of a number of former players to succeed in business. It was Thomas Jefferson, Class of 1762, who said of education so eloquently: “Above all things I hope the education of the common people will be attended to, convinced that on their good sense we may rely with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty.” This embodies exactly what his alma mater has been striving to do for more than 300 years of its proud history. Understandably, William and Mary and Tribe Football have more “Being on campus you always felt like you were part than their fair share of the best and of something bigger. The history and the prestige of brightest of America to claim as its William and Mary makes you proud to be a part of the own. school. The lessons learned in the classroom and out Here, a few of the program’s finof it continue to be a part of my life to this day.” est alums reflect on their time at the Darren Sharper (’97) College and what the Tribe Football Starting Free Safety experience meant to them.

“My William and Mary experience was defined by the unique quality of the people, both coaches and players. The football program under coach Laycockʼs leadership sets a high expectation level for us as students, athletes and men. Based on integrity, accountability and preparation, the program has produced countless leaders and continues to develop outstanding people. I consider it a privilege and a blessing to be part of the William and Mary Football family.” Tom Dexter (’91), Captain 1991 Senior Vice President Lehman Brothers

“Playing football at William and Mary was a great experience for me. The rigors of playing for a Division I football program in a demanding academic environment gave me a tremendous amount of self-discipline and confidence that helped me when I took on new and challenging professional endeavors. Playing football at William and Mary also reinforced something I believe is so critical for success. There is no ʻIʼ in the word ʻteamʼ. Football is a team sport, and so much about being successful professionally is a result of being able to build and lead great teams of people.” Todd A. Stottlemyer (’85)

William & Mary Notable Alumni George Washington First President of the United States received his surveyor’s certificate from W&M and later served as the College’s 14th Chancellor Thomas Jefferson 1762, LL.D 1783 Author of the Declaration of Independence, third President of the United States James Monroe 1776 Fifth President of the United States, architect of the Monroe Doctrine General Winfield Scott 1805 Longest serving general in U.S. military history (1814-1861) John Tyler 1807 Tenth President of the United States and former Chancellor of the College

“Everyday I face a wide variety of issues, from both a competitive and business standpoint. As the Team President of Joe Gibbs Racing, I think my time as a student-athlete at the College of William and Mary uniquely prepared me for both sets of challenges in running a championship caliber company. The life-lessons I gained as a member of the football program have translated directly to helping me build a premier racing team. The combination of the on-field trials and world class education the College provided equally prepared me to enter boardrooms and build business relationships.” J.D. Gibbs, (’92)

Team President, Joe Gibbs Racing

“My William and Mary experience has been, and always will be, a significant contributing factor to any success that I am blessed to achieve. As a William and Mary football player, there is a level of dedication, effort and discipline that is expected and required for one to excel. The caliber of competition we faced on the gridiron and in the classroom demanded that each of us embrace what it means to be a true “student-athlete.” Through facing those challenges, I not only developed the fundamental skills and qualities necessary to achieve in any field, but equally as important, I developed an unshakable confidence in my ability to ultimately overcome any obstacle. Today, I find it both prophetic and inspiring to sit in my office and read the phrase ʻSUCCESS...TO BE CONTINUEDʼ (which is boldly written in the upper left-hand corner of the 1994 W&M football poster). I only hope to contribute positively to the rich legacy of successful alums who gained so much from the William and Mary football experience.” Terrence G. Hammons, Jr., Esq.

“Accepting a football scholarship from the College of William and Mary was the realization of a lifelong dream: achieving the opportunity to play highly competitive football at one of the nationʼs most prestigious universities. I understood that the rigor and talent present in every nook and cranny of the College would stretch and refine my every talent. But what I didnʼt appreciate was that the College is far more than simply ancient chapels, rigorous scholarship and great athletics. It is a community, a family -- one that embraced a promising young boy from Southeast Washington, D.C. and helped him become a man. And for that I am eternally grateful.” Kendrick Ashton, Jr., (’98)

The First Team In the fall of 1893, Charles L. Hepburn brought together the first official football team at W&M, the College’s first organized athletic team. The 1893 team (pictured right) played three games, starting with the first contest in school history against a YMCA team from Norfolk. From The Beginning W&M is one of only 17 FCS schools to play 1,000, or more, games in college football history. Outside of the IVY League schools, only 13 have played 1,000, or more. W&M ranks inside the top 30 for all-time victories (511) and is one of four teams in the current CAA Football Conference with 500, or more. Championships In 1942, W&M won its first Southern Conference Championship. W&M would add Southern titles in 1947, 1966 and 1970. After joining what is now the CAA Football Conference in 1993, W&M has won conference championships three times. The Tribe captured league titles in 1996, 2001 and 2004. Bowl Games W&M would earn bowl bids in back-to-back years in 1947 and 1948, with the latter being a 20-0 win over Oklahoma State in the Delta Bowl. In 1947, W&M faced Arkansas in the Dixie Bowl, and in 1970, W&M battled Toledo in the Tangerine Bowl. Remember When Flyin’ Jack Cloud led W&M to one of the nation’s biggest upsets in 1947, a 7-7 tie against North Carolina, and wins over N.C. State, Virginia Tech and Arkansas. W&M’s 1967 victory over Navy ranks as one of the biggest upsets in college football history. When the NCAA celebrated the first 100 years of college football, they listed the 10 greatest upsets in history. One of them was William and Mary 27, Navy 16, Oct. 21, 1967.

Storied Rivalries The W&M-Richmond rivalry is the fourth-most played series in FCS history, trailing only Lafayette-Lehigh (142), Yale-Princeton (129) and YaleHarvard (123). The W&M-UR and W&M-VMI rivalries are both among the nine current longest uninterrupted running FCS rivalries in the nation. Legendary Coaches In 1964, current NFL Hallof-Famer Marv Levy took over and later directed W&M to one of the school’s biggest victories, the 27-16 win over Navy in 1967. Lou Holtz succeeded Levy as head coach and guided W&M to a berth in the Tangerine Bowl in 1970. Bobby Ross was an assistant on Holtz’s 1970 Southern Conference Championship team. All-Americans Beginning with Hap Halligan in 1930, Buster Ramsey in 1942 and Jack Cloud in 1946, and ranging to Rich Musinski in 2003 and Lang Campbell in 2004, W&M boasts a long and impressive list of All-Americans. The program has produced over 60 all-time All-Americans, including 30 under current head coach Jimmye Laycock. Laycock Era Laycock returned to his alma mater as head coach in 1980 and has guided the program through an unprecedented run of success that stretches to present day. W&M has posted 18 winning seasons, made seven playoff appearances and nine postseason appearances in total, while rewriting nearly the entire football record book under Laycock. In 2004, the program reached new heights, advancing to the national semifinals for the first time, recording a school-record 11 wins and finishing with an all-time high No. 3 final ranking.

The William and Mary Athletics Department has recently taken major steps in upgrading the football program’s facilities. Primarily through the generosity of private donors, current and future Tribe football players will enjoy some of the finest, modern day facilities and amenities in the nation. The program saw the addition of a state-of-the-art lighting system to accommodate night games at Zable Stadium in 2005, and the installation of a new top-of-theline artificial playing surface, FieldTurf Pro, which is featured in over 20 NFL Stadiums, at Cary Field in 2006. Additionally, the 30,000square foot Jimmye Laycock Football Center is scheduled to be completed in November and functional for the 2008 season. The Laycock Football Center is located at the northwest corner of the stadium and, at a cost of $11 million, was funded exclusively through private gifts. The center will provide a new home for meeting rooms, coaches offices, team and coaches lockers, an athletic training room, equipment storage areas, and administrative support areas – as well as an entrance that will include an area dedicated to the program’s rich history. As part of the Laycock Center project, the Joseph Montgomery Practice Complex was also redone with brand new natural grass Bermuda sod. The complex will feature a full-length practice field, running parallel to the Laycock Center, and a 40-yard field sitting perpendicular to the main practice field. Both fields will feature permanent goal posts. And, in June, the department announced a new, state-of-the-art scoreboard with video replay capabilities would be installed and ready for the 2007 season. The scoreboard will be located in the same area as the old scoreboard and supported by brick columns that will compliment the campus surroundings.

Jerry Fife

Head Equipment Manager Jerry Fife is entering his sixth season as the College’s head equipment manager. Fife handles all of the equipment issues for the Tribe football squad, including ordering and maintaining all of the team’s gear. Fife came to Williamsburg from Ashland University, his alma mater, where he held the position of Head Equipment Coordinator from 1998-2001. Well-respected among his peers, Fife was named the District II Equipment Manager of the Year and was also a finalist for the National Equipment Manager of the Year Award for the Athletic Equipment Managers’ Association(AEMA). He helped rewrite the AEMA certification exam and has chaired the association’s National Education Committee since 2002 which has recently been charged with writing a manual for the AEMA which will be a reference source for certification and equipment management, while also serving as the chair of the national web site, www.aema1.com. He has presented at the AEMA’s national convention in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and also published an article in the AEMA Journal in 2006. While at the College, Fife has been instrumental in the acquisition and use of the two “Tribe” trucks. The 30-foot equipment truck from Cook’s Moving of Hampton, hauls the majority of the team’s equipment on the road. The program also has a pickup from Williamsburg Dodge that follows along. Fife has also established a relationship with EZ-GO, which provides golf carts for use during the football season. With the improvements and additions being made to the football program, Fife also has been a valuable asset in the design of the equipment room and locker room aspect of the Jimmye Laycock Football Center. In addition to his work as the equipment manager, Fife also was an instructor of sports sciences at Ashland. After earning his undergraduate degree from Ashland in 1994, he began his career in the profession as a graduate assistant equipment coordinator, a position he held in 1996-97. He went on to earn a master’s degree from Ashland in 2001. He has continued his teaching career, having created and instructed an equipment class for the NIAAA. Fife is certified by the AEMA and has designed and maintained his own computer inventory program for use with student-athletes as well as a web site which he uses to gather information from William and Mary student-athletess Fife is married to the former Missy Harrison, and the couple resides in Lanexa, Virginia.

James Carter

Assistant Equipment Manager

A true asset to the football program, James Carter is in his ninth year working with the equipment staff. Carter’s main responsibilities include driving the 30-foot, or 26-foot, moving trucks that haul the Tribe’s equipment for all road games. Carter also drives any rental vehicles when the team flies to away games. Carter takes responsibility for all sideline communications for both home and away contests, including setup and take down of all communication equipment and monitoring the functionality during the games. Before and after games, Carter is an essential member of the equipment staff, assisting the athletes and coaches with any equipment needs that they may have. The HVAC and Plumbing Supervisor at Paramount’s Kings Dominion in Doswell, Carter volunteers his time to help the Tribe program on Fridays and Saturdays during the season, and whenever else he may be needed throughout the season. Carter and his wife, Wendy, reside in Hanover, Virginia.

2007 Season Outlook Program: The plan of action for achieving a goal. While the definition is simple, for the College of William and Mary’s football program, its goal to rebound from a difficult 2006 season and return to the elite level of the College Football Championship Division will require a total team effort. Fortunately for the Tribe faithful, the ‘plan of action’ is time-tested and proven successful. The author, head coach Jimmye Laycock, has built the program in a way that sustained excellence is possible, both on the playing field and in the classrooms. With 27 years of head coaching experience to his credit, Laycock can look back on last season’s 3-8 effort with a great deal of perspective. In the course of building the College into one of the nation’s most balanced programs, in terms of academic and athletic success, there is very little in the way of challenges he has not seen before. Starting with the program’s foundation principles of fundamentals and attention to detail, and adding in a solid core of returning talent, the job of making a return to the top of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Football Conference is one he and his staff are more than equipped to handle. “Last year we had a number of close games that didn’t go our way,” reflected Laycock. “Given the current strength of the CAA Football Conference, there is a fine line you tread every week between winning and losing. Experiencing the setbacks we had last year gives us a reason to take a critical look at everything we do within the program and maybe makes us look for better and more efficient ways to get things done. As a staff, our approach has always been one that focused on fundamentals, but, certainly, a year like last season brings a strong message to the returning players and makes them realize they can’t take things for granted. I think our players have taken the challenge of refocusing and coming into this fall as prepared as possible very seriously.” The fine-tuning began this March, as the Tribe held a particularly sharp spring practice session that featured a great deal of spirited competition on both sides of the ball. The summer months have seen even more dedication, as large numbers remained on campus for the voluntary workouts and throwing sessions. Coming into the fall, Laycock is counting on using the foundation this hard work has laid to raise the tempo even further. In the early going, the squad will count on the offense to lead the way, as it returns eight starters. The Tribe’s offensive front figures to be the unit’s centerpiece, as it returns four players with starting experience, including seasoned senior tackles Brad Stewart and Brent Cochran. The pair has started a combined 42 consecutive contests over the past two seasons and comes into the fall with all the tools to compete for post-season honors. Senior Joe Nicholas returns as one of the most prolific receivers in school history and was an all-conference selection last season. He will be counted on to lead what should be an explosive receiving corps. One of the team’s most intriguing questions this fall will focus on who will be helping to deliver Nicholas into history. With three talented options in senior Mike Potts, junior Jake Phillips and sophomore R.J. Archer, it may well wind up that more than one triggerman will be featured. While Potts and Phillips have the definite edge in terms of experience, as either one or the other has started the Tribe’s last 22 games, all three have the athletic ability to be among the league’s top signal callers. The next most interesting issue facing the College will be determining the primary replacement for departed two-time all-conference workhorse tailback, Elijah Brooks. The bulk of the work figures to be split between hardnosed senior Tony Viola, smooth junior DeBrian Holmes and speedy redshirt freshman Courtland Marriner.

“I think the offense got better as the spring progressed,” stated Laycock. “We have a solid group on the offensive line and several good options at both running back and quarterback. We have to see the receivers step up as a group and I think they started to do just that as the spring progressed. I look for them to be much more consistent this year.” Consistency will also be exactly what first-year defensive coordinator Bob Shoop is angling for from his charges. For the Tribe’s fifth-year seniors it has been a precious commodity, as Shoop will be unit’s fourth coordinator in their time on campus. But, if early returns are any indication, the 19-year coaching veteran has already made a positive impression. “Coach Shoop is a very thorough and organized defensive coach,” remarked Laycock. “He knows his system and schemes, inside and out, and is very good at teaching. The spring was good for him, and I think the unit has already shown improvement. We were limited a little in what we were able to put in, as Coach Shoop was very careful to make sure techniques were taught the right way, rather than go too fast, too soon. But, in the end, I was very pleased with the progress we made on that side of the ball. The players learned the defense much quicker than I had anticipated, which is a great credit to our defensive staff ’s ability to teach.” Shoop’s staff is working with a core of five returning starters and an interesting blend of youthful talent hungry to make its mark. The healthy return of junior inside linebacker Josh Rutter will have an immediate positive impact. Rutter, who missed all but three games last season, looks to return to the playmaking force that saw him lead the team in tackles (109) in 2005 as a redshirt freshman. His being teamed with experienced running mates, senior T.J. O’Neill and junior Michael Pigram, makes the linebacker position a clear strength for the College. The return of the sophomore duo of Adrian Tracy and C.J. Herbert on the defensive line will form the nucleus of what will be a very young, but promising, defensive front. The current two-deep shows no starters above the sophomore class, but both Tracy and Herbert have the potential to be among the elite players in the conference. The outlook for the secondary is essentially the same, as junior cornerback Derek Cox is the backfield’s elder statesman. Aside from Cox, the remain-

2007 Season Outlook der of the Tribe’s starting defensive backs all are sophomores. But where the College may be short on experience in the unit, it figures to be long on potential, especially safety David Caldwell, who is one of the squad’s most explosive athletes. It will be easy to keep the intensity of the off-season workouts at a high level, as the team’s first challenge will be a televised Thursday night home opener (Aug. 30) against conference rival Delaware. The game will mark the first time since the Tribe joined the league in 1993 that it opened a season at home with a conference opponent. After the test against the Blue Hens, the College faces a trio of non-conference foes, highlighted by a week four visit to Blacksburg for a game with Virginia Tech (Sept. 22). The last time the Tribe tangled with the Hokies came in 1985. The College will return home the following week for a Family Weekend affair with Towson (Sept. 29), before traveling to Villanova (Oct. 6) and Maine (Oct. 13) on consecutive weeks. After an open week, William and Mary will play host to reigning league champion, Massachusetts, for what will be homecoming weekend (Oct. 27). The College’s final home contest of the season will come under the lights on November 10th against state-rival James Madison. The battle with the Dukes is sandwiched between road contests at Hofstra (Nov. 3) and Richmond (Nov. 17) for the traditional season-ending rumble with the Spiders. “As we look at our schedule, it is going to be extremely challenging,” says Laycock. “We are very excited about opening the season with a conference opponent at home, which we haven’t done in a very long time (1993). As you look at the league, it is very challenging from top to bottom. Obviously, the game at Virginia Tech speaks for itself. But we face this sort of challenge every year and our players prepare very hard to be ready to compete each weekend.” The following is a position-by-position look at W&M for 2007. Quarterback Entering the spring, Laycock and his staff were challenged to select a starter between two very experienced quarterbacks in senior Mike Potts and junior Jake Phillips. Exiting camp, both are still very much in contention for the critical role, but each is now also competing with talented sophomore R.J. Archer, who also put his name in the mix with an outstanding spring showing. Entering the fall, Phillip’s name sits atop the depth chart and he will enter the year with 11 career starts to his credit. He started the first four games of last season, and five total, throwing for 763 yards and five scores in seven games. Phillips also finished as the team’s third-leading rusher with 67 yards and a touchdown. For his career, he has completed 193 of his 333 attempts for 2,327 yards and 17 touchdowns. A tough athlete with the ability to make plays running or throwing, this off-season he concentrated on improving his ability to make throws on the move and reading coverages. As he continues to mature in these areas, Phillips will become even more of a challenge for opposing defenses and will be a strong contender for post-season honors. As much potential as Phillips can bring to the backfield, the Tribe is in the enviable position of having another option with equal promise. Potts has the most experience with the offense among the quarterbacks, having worked in the system since backing up 2004 Payton Award winning quarterback Lang Campbell. He comes into his final season with 11 career starts, including a career-high six in 2006. Potts has thrown for 2,485 yards and 18 touchdowns in his career. Last season, he led the team with 1,559 passing yards and 10 touchdowns in nine total games, finishing seventh in the conference in passing average (173.2) and eighth in total offense (170.0). Potts’ two greatest

assets are his superior arm-strength and his firm grasp of the Tribe’s system. He authored two of the team’s most impressive wins of the past two seasons, as he was at the controls for the squad’s upset of then-No. 1 New Hampshire in 2005 and threw for a career-high 409 yards and a pair of scores in last year’s win at No. 21 Towson. From the outside looking in, it would seem a long-shot that Archer could crack the starting line-up past two such capable players, especially when considering he has yet to see a snap of collegiate action under center. But, an impressive spring has positioned him to be a legitimate challenger. Archer blends a strong arm with excellent athleticism. Archer’s versatility was on display last season, as he was one of the team’s best receivers, tallying 30 receptions for 489 yards. He has a tremendous upside and should only improve as he gains experience. Redshirt freshman Mike Callahan rounds out the team’s returning depth at the position, as he has spent his first year on campus working with the scout team. He displayed a strong and accurate arm in limited spring repetitions. Running Back/Fullback Running backs coach Steven Jerry comes into the fall with the challenge of replacing the 1,906 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns that two-time allconference tailback Elijah Brooks produced over the last two seasons. In terms of numbers, Brooks’ totals accounted for more than 60 percent of the team’s total rushing yards and more than half of its rushing touchdowns since 2005. Fortunately, Jerry has several good options to fill the void, and the list starts with junior DeBrian Holmes, who has spent the past two seasons as Brooks’ primary back-up. Last season, he was second on the squad in rushing yards, gaining 225 on just 44 carries. For his career, Holmes has maintained a solid 5.3 yards per carry average, in over 100 attempts, and is equally adept at being an option out of the backfield in the passing game with 34 career receptions for 231 yards. He is at his best when he can use his speed and quickness in space, but has proven capable between the tackles. Holmes was forced to miss the spring drills as he recovered from off-season surgery, but he has used the down time to add significant mass in the weight room. He comes into the

2007 Season Outlook Offensive Line

fall having gained nearly 15 pounds in the off-season program. Another player whose reps will increase is senior Tony Viola. At 6-1, 220pounds, he is the team’s biggest and most ball carrier. Being the senior of the backs, his uncompromising work ethic and experience in the system makes him the position’s leader by example. His style is best suited for multiple carries and an opportunity to grind on opposing defenses. Viola enters the year averaging nearly six yards an attempt (5.8) over his 54 career rushes which have resulted in a total of 312 yards rushing. Pushing both Viola and Holmes for the starting role will be redshirt freshman Courtland Marriner. He came to the College with blazing speed (10.3 career-best in the 100-meters) and showcased his ability to translate that quickness into big-plays during spring scrimmages. He not only displayed great elusiveness, but also the strength to break tackles and gain yards after contact. On the strength of this showing, the staff sees a great deal of playmaking potential in the 5-9, 180-pound dynamo. When speaking of potential, sophomore Matt Nickerson and redshirt freshman Thomas Schonder, each bring a great deal to the tailback position. Nickerson spent last fall on the travel squad after coming off an impressive spring showing in 2006, while Schonder was one of the more pleasant surprises this past spring session. The pair will give the team quality depth and will contribute on special teams this fall. Senior fullback Matt Otey is one of the offense’s most experienced returning players, as he has seen action in 30 career contests. While he has missed playing and practice time with nagging injuries last fall in in the spring, his healthy return gives the Tribe backfield a solid lead blocker with outstanding hands, as witnessed by his four career touchdown receptions. Hardworking senior Graham Falbo will push Otey for playing time, as will redshirt freshman Jimmy Hobson. At 6-0, 235-pounds, Falbo, a converted offensive lineman, is the strongest of the fullbacks. He missed the entire 2006 season with an injury but showed a healthy return this spring. Hobson has outstanding natural instincts for the position and enjoys initiating contact.

It has been a long accepted football adage that the games are won in the trenches. With four of its five starters returning along the front five in 2007, the College is looking to prove the cliché true this fall. Led by veteran mentor and assistant head coach, Bob Solderitch, the Tribe’s experienced offensive front will be counted on to shoulder a large share of work in powering the team’s attack, especially in the early going. Last season, the team rushed for 100, or more, yards only once in the first five games, before the ground attack hit its stride in midseason and pieced together five-straight games over the century mark. This year, senior tackles Brad Stewart and Brent Cochran, along with senior guard Justin Oliver and junior center Luke Hiteshew enter the fall as returning starters with the confidence of experience. The group has only increased its cohesiveness by having the majority of the players on the two-deep stay on campus during the summer participating in the voluntary workouts. The unit is focused on carrying the momentum of this hard work into the season opener and beyond. The line is well anchored on both sides by Stewart and Cochran, as both have the combination of talent and experience that puts them in position to challenge for postseason honors. Stewart, who was elected one of the team’s co-captains in the spring, has been a consistent performer at right tackle for the past two seasons. He has a blue-collar approach to the game, as his hard work in the weight room has made him the team’s strongest lineman and a physical presence at the line scrimmage. Cochran brings outstanding feet and technique to the left tackle position and can lay claim to being one of the conference’s most athletic big men. Oliver is also a versatile athlete, as he has the ability to play any of the front’s three positions and has even seen game action at tight end in his career. He enters his second season as a starting guard and will be counted on to continue to build on a 2006 season that saw him improve with each game. His aggressive style of play is very similar to that of Hiteshew, who has moved from guard to center this spring. Hiteshew, like Oliver, has the strength and versatility to man several roles along the front, but found a home at center as camp progressed. His move to center cleared the way for 6-4, 300-pound sophomore C.J. Muse to see action at guard opposite Oliver. Muse is also

2007 Season Outlook game-tested, as he started the final two games of last season when Hiteshew went down with an injury. As Muse continues to add strength to his massive frame, his potential will grow along with him. Another player who figures to make an impact this fall is 6-2, 300-pound senior center Tim Kelley. He has one of the team’s best football minds and has worked extremely hard to make consistent improvements since first walking onto the program as a transfer from the Air Force Academy in 2005. When it comes to hard work, few on the squad can compare to the effort and dedication junior guard Eric O’Brien brings to every practice and workout. After several position changes in his first two seasons, he has settled into the role at guard and will be key reserve this fall. Sophomore Thomas McCutcheon also adds quality depth to the position, as his 6-5, 310-pound body continues to mature. Junior Michael Grant and redshirt freshman Keith Hill are the two primary reserves at the tackle positions, along with redshirt freshman Josh Raxter. Grant has a great deal of experience working with the offense and is extremely dedicated to making steady improvement, while Hill has shown outstanding raw potential. Sophomores Tyler Miller and Chris Moore and redshirt freshman Jacob Foley round out the team’s depth at the center position, while senior Jonathan Shafran and redshirt freshman Tommy Humphreys give the team quality reserves at guard. Wide Receivers/Tight Ends In much the same way the offensive line brings high expectations into the season, the Tribe’s outstanding offensive coordinator and receivers coach, Zbig Kepa, will be looking to capitalize on the wealth of returning talent to his group this fall. No player on the squad is more game-tested than wide out Joe Nicholas, who enters the season having played in 35 career games, with 34 starts. He is the only current player on the roster who saw starting action during the team’s run deep into the 2004 NCAA Playoffs. Kepa, who has coached all but one player currently listed on the Tribe’s career receiving yardage top 10, will see Nicholas’ name well represented in the school’s record books. Currently, Nicholas is in the College’s top 10 career receiving list for yards (2,127), touchdowns (19) and receptions (159) and enters the fall with a solid chance to finish in the top three in each category. Nicholas should be a prime candidate to once again challenge for post-season recognition, as he earned his first career allconference honor a season ago by recording 41 receptions for 597 yards and a team-best eight touchdowns. When it comes to all-conference potential, the Tribe’s remaining pair of starting wide outs, juniors Elliott Mack and D.J. McAulay, have it in abundance. Mack has a wealth of game experience, having played in 20 career contests and good size at 6-0, 200-pounds. He also has outstanding hands and speed in the 4.5-second range in the 40-yard dash. McAulay’s signature is his tremendous speed, with sub 4.5 time, and quickness. The staff plans for an increase in the amount of touches each sees in the coming season. In 2006, the duo combined to produce 41 grabs for 532 yards and four touchdowns and also rushed the ball 11 times for 116 yards. The group did lose some critical experience when Archer moved from receiver to quarterback this spring, so finding depth was a priority for Kepa. Redshirt freshmen Cameron Dohse and Chase Hill emerged from a sizable group of underclassman as the top reserves. Doshe showed flashes of big-play ability in scrimmage situations, while Hill, a converted quarterback, proved to be a quick study. He will use his size (6-2, 195-pounds) and athletic ability to make an immediate impact. Sophomore Eric Robertson is a similar talent

who is versatile enough to contribute in multiple roles, but may find a home at H-back. A pair of talented redshirt freshman in Terreon Conyers and Marshall Dill have each missed significant practice time due to injury and will use the fall, along with junior Obie Boykin, to gain more experience. At tight end, the Tribe has what might be one of the league’s dark-horse candidates for post-season honors in senior Drew Atchison. Look for the 6-7, 250-pound specimen to make a splash in the passing attack after contributing 12 catches for 182 yards and two scores last year. Atchison came into the program at the start of 2005 after spending his freshman season on the baseball team and has made significant and steady progress ever since. Atchison is bristling with athleticism and has built his strength to the point where he has potential to be a dominant blocker as well. Sophomore Rob Varno and junior Evan Muro will also see significant action at the position. Varno’s strength is in the passing game, while Muro’s 6-6, 242-pound stature is well suited for the work along the line of scrimmage. Defensive Line Perhaps no position better displays the challenges facing Shoop in his first season as the team’s coordinator than the defensive front. On the one hand, defensive line coach Trevor Andrews’ unit features tremendous talent highlighted by returning sophomores C.J. Herbert, Sean Lissemore and Adrian Tracy. On the other, of the 12 linemen currently on the roster, end Ryan Jones is the only senior, with sophomores and redshirt freshmen making up nine of the remaining 10 players. In Tracy, Andrews has an all-conference caliber defensive end with the speed and strength to be one of the elite players in the league at his position. In his first season as a starter, Tracy was second on the team and second among league freshmen with 70 total tackles. He finished the year sixth in the A-10 in tackles for loss (15.5) and seventh in sacks (6.0). Herbert will come into the fall on the top of the depth chart at end, after starting all 11 games at tackle as a redshirt freshman in 2006. He was one of the team’s most consistent performers, as he recorded 30 total tackles and two blocked placement kicks. The move to end will allow him to make maximum use of his quickness and

2007 Tribe Football

2007 Season Outlook

gives the Tribe a very solid starting tandem. The 6-4, 271-pound Lissemore is another young, promising lineman who comes into the season slated to start at one of the tackle positions after seeing action in 10 games last year, recording 33 total stops, including 2.5 quarterback sacks. Herbert’s move from tackle to end cleared the way for talented redshirt freshman Derek Toon to move into the starting tackle spot entering this fall. At 6-3, 280-pounds, he will make an excellent compliment to Lissemore on the interior of the Tribe’s defense, as each plays with great intensity. Sophomore Daniel Pulley was limited this spring, but a healthy return this fall should see him become a key reserve at tackle, along with redshirt freshmen Kyle Allison and Carl Watts. Jones and redshirt freshman Bryan Jean-Pierre are also in the mix at the end position. Jones comes into the fall as the team’s most experienced lineman, while Jean-Pierre is another big (6-3, 250), strong athlete who the staff feels has potential to develop into an all-around player. Jones has the versatility to play tackle if necessary. Redshirt freshman Gareth Hissong missed valuable spring practice time with an injury, but has the tools to contribute this fall at end. Junior walk-on Sean Brooks and redshirt freshman Kyle O’Brien will add depth at end as they look to continue to gain experience this fall.

At 6-3, 230-pounds, Rutter is a natural for the position and provides the middle of the Tribe’s defense with an athlete who has the potential to be an elite player on a national scale. He is looking to make a healthy return from a knee injury that cost him the final eight games of his sophomore season after recording 109 tackles in what was a standout freshman campaign. Pigram may appear slightly undersized at 5-10, 220-pounds, but he more than makes up for any perceived lack of size with strength, speed and an aggressive style of play. He has seen playing time in all 22 games of his career, including 11 starts last season in which he recorded 69 tackles, including 4.5 behind the line of scrimmage. Senior Ryan Horvath is the lone remaining senior on the Tribe’s defense, and he will provide solid depth behind O’Neill. He proved to be a quick study is Shoop’s system and will see significant action this fall. Junior Todd Reyher will give dependable depth at the middle backer position, as he, like Horvath, had a good spring in the new defense. Redshirt freshman Evan Francks comes into the fall as the top reserve behind Pigram after making the successful switch down from defensive back this spring. He displayed a good feel for the position and sure tackling in the new role. Junior Sheldon Alexander and redshirt freshman Wes Steinman also both made the switch down from the defensive backfield this spring and have the athleticism to provide quality depth while being important special teams contributors. Redshirt freshman Nick Dewispelaere and Chris Rojas will both look to continue to gain experience while also playing on special teams. Defensive Backs Despite losing three starters from last season’s unit, Shoop has reason to feel good about the defensive backfield he’ll be overseeing this fall. Shoop will have the opportunity to work with a crew of athletes who have the potential to be an impact area for his defense. One of the primary reasons for the positive outlook is the return of junior co-captain and veteran starting cornerback Derek Cox. Cox has seen action in 21 career games, including 12 starts. This game experience, combined with his outstanding speed and quickness, makes him an outstanding cover corner and gives him the potential to be one of the league’s premier players.

Linebackers With senior T.J. O’Neill and a pair of juniors in Josh Rutter and Michael Pigram heading the depth chart, Tribe linebacker coach Scott Boone is leading the defense’s most experienced unit into the fall. Combine this experience with the explosive talent the trio brings to the field, and Boone’s corps will be counted on to be the key playmakers in 2007. O’Neill, who will start the year at strong-side linebacker, lays claim to being the only current senior starter and is unquestionably the most experienced returning defensive player, as he has been a valuable contributor over the past 34 games. He packs a tremendous amount of explosive power into his 6-1, 231-pound frame, as he benches over 400-pounds and has a 38-plus inch vertical leap. Last season, he displayed great versatility in moving down to end and remained effective, recording 31 tackles.

2007 Season Outlook Special Teams

Another player who seems primed to make a major impact is hard-hitting safety David Caldwell. After primarily being a corner in his first season, which saw him contribute 37 tackles, the staff decided to move his play-making ability into the middle of the field. He is the backfield’s strongest player and also one of the fastest, which makes his 5-11, 205-pound frame a dynamic weapon against both the run and pass. Caldwell’s running mate at safety is sophomore transfer Robert Livingston, who came to the College this spring from Western Michigan University. Livingston stepped right into the free safety position and became one of the defense’s leaders this spring. He has outstanding football instincts and is a sure tackler with the ability to make plays on the ball. Athletic sophomore Max Harris will line up opposite Cox as the starter at boundary corner. Harris saw action in all 11 games last season as a key reserve and has all the skills to be an outstanding cover man as he continues to gain experience. Versatile sophomore David Houff started three games at safety in 2006, recording 20 unassisted tackles and an interception in 11 games. Houff saw significant time this spring at the cornerback position and will see playing time at strong safety in the fall. An outstanding athlete, Houff holds the safety position records for squat (500 pounds) and power clean (338 pounds) and the team record for vertical leap (40.5 inches). Sophomore Fred Johnson is also in the mix to compete for reps. Johnson has seen playing time at safety, but focused primarily on corner this spring and showed well. Redshirt freshman Ben Cottingham enters the fall as the other key reserve at corner. He entered the program last fall as a walk-on and a strong, consistent showing this spring has positioned him to make an impact. Another player looking to challenge for playing time is redshirt freshman Michael Alvarado, who currently is listed as the top reserve at free safety. Alvarado’s athleticism and feel for the game gives the team quality depth at either safety spot. Fellow redshirt freshman Mario Newby also will be a capable reserve this fall. He had a solid showing in his first extended look this spring and proved to be a heavy hitter.

The graduation of punter and place-kicker Blair Pritchard made for another area of concern for the staff entering the spring, as the squad had no player on the roster that had ever kicked in a collegiate game. Walk-on Brian Pate emerged from the spring competition as the starting place-kicker, as he was very impressive with both his accuracy and leg strength. Pate will be pushed throughout the fall by redshirt freshman David Miller, who was a member of the travel squad last season and backed up Pritchard at both the kicking and punting positions. In addition to pushing for place-kicker duties, Miller will handle the punting chores, as he impressed with his leg strength. Cochran will retain the short-snapping duties he handled all of last season and he will be delivering the ball to Archer, who will take over as holder. Falbo will enter his first year of working as the long-snapper. He came to campus as a center, before converting to fullback two seasons ago. While no final decisions have been made as to who will be handling the specialty returns, the team has a backlog of capable talent. Holmes and Caldwell were the two primary kick returners last season. Holmes averaged 17.9 yards over his 17 attempts for a total of 304 yards, while Caldwell collected 365 yards on his 16 returns for an average of 22.8 yards, which ranked fourth in the A-10. Mack, McAulay and Marriner are also likely candidates to see action as the deep back. Cox was the primary punt return specialist last fall, as he tallied 129 yards over 17 total returns. Caldwell and Harris could also be impact players in this area as well.

CAA Football Conference The inaugural season of CAA Football kicks off in 2007 with plans to take the nation’s premier conference in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS, formerly I-AA) to even greater heights. The conference is coming off a sensational 2006 campaign in which multiple teams were selected to postseason play for the 16th year in a row, extending the longest active streak in the nation. Massachusetts advanced to the national championship game, becoming the third different CAA Football team to reach the finals over the past four years. New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos earned the Walter Payton Award as the most outstanding player in the FCS, becoming the conference’s sixth recipient of the prestigious honor. James Madison linebacker Akeem Jordan, Massachusetts defensive back James Ihedigbo and Maine defensive lineman Matt King were finalists for the Buck Buchanan Award, which is presented to the top defensive player in the FCS. The quality and depth of CAA Football is unmatched in the FCS. Ten of the league’s 12 teams have participated in the NCAA playoffs over the past six seasons and at least one team has advanced to the national semifinals in seven of the last 10 years. In 2004, James Madison claimed the national championship with a 31-21 triumph over Montana, becoming the first team to reach the title game by winning three road playoff contests since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986. Delaware rolled past Colgate 40-0 to capture the national championship in 2003, becoming the first team to ever post a shutout in the title game. No other conference has had two different teams win national titles in back-to-back years. Massachusetts earned a national championship in 1998, beating perennial power Georgia Southern, 55-43. Along with the team accomplishments, the conference has accumulated numerous individual accolades. Santos joined William & Mary quarterback Lang Campbell (2004), Villanova running back Brian Westbrook (2001), Villanova wide receiver Brian Finneran (1997), New Hampshire running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1988) as recipients of the Walter Payton Award. James Madison linebacker Derrick Lloyd received the Buck Buchanan Award in 2001. New Hampshire’s Sean McDonnell (2005), James Madison’s Mickey Matthews (1999), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) have earned the Eddie Robinson Award as the top coach in the FCS. The CAA Football geographic footprint encompasses much of the East Coast with schools located from Maine to Virginia. Members include Delaware, Hofstra, James Madison, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Northeastern, Rhode Island, Richmond, Towson, Villanova and William & Mary. While CAA Football officially began

2007 Tribe Football

Head Coach Jimmye Laycock

The 2007 campaign for the Tribe program will mark the 28th season in the illustrious career of head coach Jimmye Laycock. A 1970 graduate of William and Mary, Laycock is the program’s winningest coach, boasting a career 178-127-2 (.583) record. Since Laycock’s first season in 1980, the College has had 18 winning ledgers and played in postseason games in nine seasons. As the architect of what is easily the most extended run of success in William and Mary’s 113-year football history, Laycock has never compromised academic standards for athletic success and has steadily built his program into a point of pride for the campus, alumni and community. When Laycock returned to coach his alma mater prior to the 1980 season, he inherited a program that had won six or more games in a season just four times in the previous 25 years. Few could have predicted that the College would produce more than three times that amount of seven-win seasons over the next quarter century. The accumulated successes, both on and off the field, have led to an era of unprecedented

42

interest and support for his program. Some evidence of this is provided in the fact the Tribe averaged over 10,000 fans per game in five home dates in 2006. W&M drew a total of 53,225 spectators to Zable Stadium in 2006, an average of 10,645 per game, the program’s best figure since the 1995 season. During Laycock’s tenure, the fans at Zable have consistently been treated to a winner on the field, as the program’s mentor ranks in the top 10 of all active FCS head coaches in terms of career wins. Laycock is also second among active conference head coaches in career league wins with 69. Laycock has made the home turf in Zable Stadium into unfriendly territory for opponents as the Tribe has won 75.6 percent of its games (91-29-1) in Williamsburg in the last 23 years. W&M has turned in seven undefeated regular season home campaigns. Individual accomplishments under Laycock have been plentiful, as he has also tutored 30 players to 76 All-America honors from the William and Mary ranks and has coached 11 Academic All-Americans. Quarterback Lang Campbell is the most decorated of all, as the 2004 season saw him earn the prestigious Payton Award, given annually to the nation’s top offensive player in the FCS ranks, consensus first team All-America honors, as well as the A-10’s Offensive Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The Tribe has produced an astounding 131 all-conference selections since 1993. While no one season can define a career that spans more than two and a half decades, Laycock’s 25th year at the top of the Tribe program produced levels of success never before reached at the College. W&M set a school record for wins (11), won the Atlantic 10 Football Conference’s automatic NCAA bid, hosted a NCAA semifinal game before a standing room only crowd at Zable Stadium in front of a national television audience and finished the year with a school record No. 3 final national ranking. Along the way, a bevy of school singleseason records fell; total points (486), total yards (6,044) and home wins (seven), to name just a few. But, none of these achievements spoke more succinctly to Laycock’s approach than the program’s 100 percent official NCAA graduation-rate report for all student-athletes receiving athletics aid. This showed W&M graduated all of its football players who entered the program as freshmen during the 1997-98 school year. The Tribe not only carried the highest graduation rate in the conference, but also was far and away the top figure of any team ranked in the final national top 25 for that season. To prove this lofty number

was no fluke, the team repeated the feat just two years later, as the 1999-2001 cohort also graduated at 100 percent. When looking at the NCAA Division I Championship Division world, the Tribe’s stellar 164-77-2 (.679) record against fellow Championship Division foes during Laycock’s career also confirms the success of his formula. The College also boasts a 69-45 (.605) mark in league play and has had 131 all-conference honors since 1993. The 2001 campaign stood as a testament to Laycock’s program’s stability, as the team rebounded from a then nine-year low 5-6 record in 2000 to post an 8-4 mark, claiming a share of the Atlantic 10 Crown and earning a spot in the NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs. The 1996 campaign is another prime example of how Laycock has perpetuated a winning tradition within W&M’s rigorous classroom standards, as he led a youth-laden squad to a quarterfinal showing in the NCAA playoffs, a 10-3 overall record (7-1 in league play), the Tribe’s first Yankee Conference Championship, and a fifth-place national ranking.


Head Coach Jimmye Laycock One trademark of a Laycock-coached team is a prolific and intricate offensive attack. The Tribe offense averaged better than 420 yards and 26 points over the 115 games it played in the 1990s. Prior to the 2004 campaign, the 1990 season stood as the benchmark for the Tribe program. That season, Laycock was honored by his peers as Coach of the Year in Region II and the state of Virginia for guiding

Laycock in NCAA FCS Playoffs

the Tribe to 10 wins and an appearance in the quarterfinals of the Division I-AA playoffs. That 1990 squad, ranked No. 7 in the final NCAA poll, refashioned many pages in the school record book. W&M led the country in total offense by averaging almost 500 yards per game and claimed the Lambert Cup for I-AA supremacy in the East. Even the Virginia General Assembly passed a resolution commending Laycock accomplishments. The Tribe’s 1996 squad led the conference in both total offense and defense en route to earning its own Lambert Cup and ECAC Team of the Year honors. After some lean years early in his tenure, Laycock’s teams began building respectability among all opponents. After a pair of 6-5 seasons, W&M carved out a 7-4 mark in 1985 and a national ranking of No. 16. The winning ways continued in 1986 with a 9-3 record and an eighth-place final ranking. In that season, the Tribe advanced to the IAA playoffs for the first time and had three players drafted by the NFL. Although William and Mary dipped to a 5-6 slate in 1987, the Tribe recovered to post a 6-4-1 over-

The Tribe returned to the NCAAs in 1989 with an 8-2-1 regular season record. Laycock has also tutored 30 players to 76 AllAmerica honors from the William and Mary ranks and has coached seven Academic All-Americans. The record-setting tandem of quarterback Campbell and wide out Dominique Thompson each signed free agent contracts, with the Cleveland Browns and St. Louis Rams, respectively, in the spring of 2005. Thompson has remained with the Rams, while Campbell ended the 2007 season as the starting quarterback for the Austin Wranglers of the Arena League.

Michael Clemons (Class of 1987) had been one of the CFL’s most explosive players since joining the Toronto Argonauts in 1989, a team he now coaches. At press time, Clemons had added another former Tribe player to the pro ranks, as he signed long-time NFL veteran, kicker Steve Christie to the Argos’ roster. As a 1970 graduate of the College, Laycock played football under two gurus of the game. For three years, he learned the details under the watchful eyes of Marv

Levy, the legendary former head coach of the Buffalo Bills. In his last season, collegiate coaching legend Lou Holtz schooled Laycock in the finer aspects of psyche and motivation.

Joe Gibbs - Washington Redskins Head Coach “Coach Laycock has shown that he has one of the more creative offenses in college football. One of the best trademarks for football coaches is a consistent program over a longer period of time. I think Coach Laycock consistently demonstrates that with his program.” Marv Levy - Former W&M Head Coach and NFL Hall of Famer “I’ve always admired the work that Jimmye’s done at William and Mary. He’s very well-respected throughout the coaching fraternity. He’s the right man for the right college.” Darren Sharper - Minnesota Vikings’ three-time Pro Bowl safety “Coach Laycock knew from the time that he was recruiting me what position was best for me to reach my ultimate potential. Joining the Tribe family turned out to be the best situation for me to grow as a person and as a player. Without being a part of this family, I wouldn’t be as successful as I am today.” Mike Tomlin - Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach “William and Mary sets the stage to address the challenges you face. Coach Jimmye Laycock has been the blueprint for me. He is what the job of coaching is all about.”

Head Coach Jimmye Laycock Laycock Era Highlights …

Laycock vs. The Nation

• Jimmye Laycock enters his 28th season as the Tribe’s head coach in 2007. The school’s all-time winningest coach, Laycock has compiled a 178-127-2 career record at W&M. • Among active Division I (FBS and FCS) head coaches, Laycock’s 178 victories rank 11th. The total also ranks inside the top 20 of active coaches in all divisions. Among only active FCS head coaches, Laycock’s total is seventh. • Laycock ranks fourth on the all-time CAA Football career victories list with 69. Among active coaches, Laycock trails only Villanova’s Andy Talley (88). Laycock’s career CAA winning percentage of .605 is second among active league coaches.

(L-R) Mike Cook (ʼ97), Lang Campbell (ʼ05) and Shawn Knight (ʼ95) each gained All-America honors as quarterbacks in Laycockʼs system. Each led W&M to the postseason and earned all-conference honors. Campbell was also named the 2004 Walter Payton Award winner.

• In 2004, W&M won a school-record 11 games and made its ninth postseason appearance under Laycock, advancing to the NCAA semifinals for the first time in school history and finishing with a school-record No. 3 final national ranking. • The Tribe has posted winning ledgers in 18 of the past 24 seasons under Laycock. • Laycock has guided the Tribe to a total of 51 career 40-plus point outings in his 307 games as the College’s head coach, a number that represents more than 16 percent of his total games. By comparison, the College had seen only 12 total 40-plus point outings in the 30 seasons prior to Laycock taking the reigns of the program in 1980. • Since joining what is now the CAA Football conference in 1993, a William and Mary quarterback has earned allconference honors in nine of the 14 seasons, including seven-straight campaigns from 1998 to 2004. Going handin-hand with the postseason honors is the fact that in seven of the 14 seasons in league play, a Tribe quarterback has turned in the conference’s top passer efficiency rating. • The College has earned 131 total all-conference citations under Laycock. • The Tribe has posted a 98-39-1 record (.714) at Zable Stadium under Laycock, which includes seven undefeated regular seasons in Williamsburg. In Laycock’s 27 seasons, the College has failed to post a .500 or better record at home just three times (1980, 1999, 2006). • Since joining the CAA Football Conference, W&M has gone 101-57 (.639) against FCS opponents. • During Laycock’s 27-year tenure, 20 Tribe players have gone on to sign with NFL teams, including three-time Pro Bowl selection Darren Sharper. • Laycock has mentored 30 student-athletes to All-America honors at the College, including a career-high four in 2004 that earned either Sports Network or Associated Press All-America citations (Lang Campbell, Dominique Thompson, Greg Kuehn, Adam O’Connor). Campbell was a consensus First Team All-American (AFCA, Walter Camp, AP, Sports Network) and was also the winner of the 2004 Walter Payton Award. • Since the NCAA began its academic reform with graduation rates surveys and APR rankings in 2004, the Tribe football program has twice posted a 100 percent graduation rate (2004, 2006). • Under Laycock, 11 Tribe football players have been named Academic All-Americans, including the most recent selection of Bryce Lee in 2001. • W&M has had 48 players earn academic all-conference honors since 1997 under Laycock, including a career-high tying seven in 2006, and one conference scholar athlete of the year (Lang Campbell, 2004).

Assistant Coaches Zbig Kepa Offensive Coordinator Wide Receivers 24th Season St. Joseph’s (Ind.), 1979 A fixture on the Tribe’s staff for 24 years, Zbig Kepa is one of the most respected offensive coaches in the CAA Football Conference. Evidence of this can be found in the fact that the school’s career leaders in rushing yards, passing yards, total offense, receiving yards, touchdown passes and receptions, to name a few, have all played during Kepa’s tenure as coordinator. Kepa’s time with the College began in 1984, when he arrived as a part-time assistant and worked primarily with the defense. The following year he became a full-time assistant and moved to offense where he took charge of the receivers. Kepa primarily recruits the Peninsula and Northern Neck areas in Virginia. He also recruits eastern Pennsylvania.

Since joining the offensive staff, Kepa has helped develop one of the most productive offenses in FCS football. The 1996 team led the conference in total offense, while the 1993 unit finished sixth in the nation in total yards with the second-highest total (5,504) in school history. Overall, the Tribe is averaging nearly 400 yards of total offense per game during Kepa’s 15-year stint as the offensive coordinator. He oversaw the most prolific single-season receiving performance in school history by Dominique Thompson (1,585 yards; 79 receptions; 13 TDs) in 2004. Kepa also mentored the school’s all-time leading receiver, Rich Musinski (‘04), who became just the third player in Championship Subdivision history to surpass the 4,000-yard career receiving mark. Kepa’s receivers dominate the W&M record book, as nine of the top 10 all-time career receiving yardage leaders were developed under his mentorship. Prior to Musinski, the most prolific of the group was 2000 graduate Dave Conklin (1996-99), who left the College as the all-time leader in receiving yards (3,269), catches (190) and touchdown catches (27). Harry Mehre (1985-89) was the first to etch his name into the archives, as he set a then career receiving yardage mark (2,748) and earned AP All-America honors as a senior. Kepa has also groomed a pair of student-athletes to conference Rookie of the Year honors (Conklin, 1996; Musinski, 2000). In his 24 seasons at W&M, Kepa has tutored nine receivers to 11 all-conference citations, including four first-team honorees. Most recently, current wide out Joe Nicholas earned third-team honors in 2006.

Assistant Coaches Bob Shoop Defensive Coordinator Secondary First Season Yale, 1988 With the departure of the team’s fourth defensive coordinator in the past five years at the end of the 2006 season, the College sought a proven commodity that would bring stability and leadership to the unit. Enter 19-year coaching veteran Bob Shoop, who was brought on board this past February. An outstanding teacher and organizer, Shoop has a proven track record of success and championship credentials. Shoop comes to the Williamsburg campus with an impressive resumé that spans nearly two decades as a Division I coach, including two separate stints as a defensive coordinator (Yale, 1994-96; Villanova, 1997) and three years of head coaching experience (Columbia, 200305). He will be responsible for recruiting Western Pennsylvania and the Richmond area. Shoop’s most recent position was at the University of Massachusetts, where he mentored the Minutemen’s defensive backfield and helped the squad to an appearance in the NCAA Division I-AA Championship game last season. His season at UMass was successful on an individual basis as well, as three of his players were named to all-conference honors, including a pair being tabbed for first-team accolades. Prior to his season in Amherst, Shoop headed the Columbia football program for three seasons and produced 20 All-Ivy League selections during his tenure. In 2005, he led the program to its first 2-0 start since 1996, a feat accomplished just three times in the previous 50 years. He ended his time with the Lions with a 7-23 mark. In his first season with the Lions (2003), he led Columbia to a 4-6 record, its best since 1998, which included victories over Princeton and Harvard for the first time in the same season since 1978, and league victories in two of the Lions’ last three games. Prior to Columbia, he served as defensive secondary coach at Boston College for four years (1999-2002). Shoop played a major role in the Eagles’ success, including bowl victories in three of his four seasons. Shoop’s secondary was a key cog in BC’s 9-4 record and Motor City Bowl victory in 2002, as the Eagles ranked 13th in the nation in passing defense and 17th in pass efficiency defense. Shoop also had Ivy League experience as an assistant coach at Yale (1989 and 1994-96) under legendary Hall of Fame coach Carmen Cozza. He also has served stints as an assistant coach at Army (1998), Villanova, where he was defensive coordinator for the 12-1 1997 squad, and Northeastern (1991-93). Shoop played his collegiate football at Yale. He earned honorable mention All-Ivy accolades in 1987 as a wide receiver. He was recognized with Yale Football’s prestigious Robert Gardner Anderson Memorial Award for team spirit, dedication and leadership. Shoop also captained the Bulldog baseball team for which he earned four letters. He twice earned the Ducky Pond Award as the team’s most outstanding pitcher.

He earned his Bachelor of Arts in economics from Yale in 1988. Shoop hails from Oakmont, Pa., a suburb of Pittsburgh. He and his wife, Maura, have two children, Tyler and Jay. His brother John is the offensive coordinator at the University of North Carolina. Shoop’s Collegiate Coaching Profile Years 1989 1990 1991-93 1994-96 1997 1998 1999-02 2003-05 2006 2007

Assistant Coaches Bob Solderitch Assistant Head Coach Offensive Line 12th Season William and Mary, 1986 In his 12 seasons on campus, William and Mary Assistant Head Coach and offensive line mentor Bob Solderitch has made a positive impact on several generations of Tribe linemen, maintaining a legacy of success he helped create as an all-conference center for the College. A 1986 graduate of W&M, Solderitch returned to Williamsburg in 1996 to take over the offensive line and eventually assumed the duties of assistant head coach in 2000. In what is a tribute to his unyielding dedication to the program, a private donor has provided the funding to have the staff room in the Laycock Football Center named in his honor. Solderitch recruits the Tidewater and Atlanta areas for the Tribe, as well as North Carolina and transfer students.

In his first season as a full-time assistant, he groomed Tribe guard Josh Beyer to consensus first-team All-America honors. Fellow guard Dan Rossettini earned multiple all-conference honors under Solderitch, including first-team honors in 1997. In 1998, guard Greg Whirley, Jr. capped his career by earning first-team all-conference honors, while Matt Mazefsky earned multiple all-conference citations in his career and All-America recognition after the 2001 season. In 2002, first team all-conference tackle Dwight Beard also earned All-America honors under Solderitch’s tutelage. In all, Solderitch has seen 14 players earn 18 all-conference awards on his watch, including 2006 team captain Cody Morris who graduated as a three-time all-conference performer, with second-team honors after his sophomore and senior seasons. Former team captain Pat Mulloy put a fitting punctuation on what was a standout four-year career by being named as a Second-Team All-Atlantic 10 pick in 2005. After a brief stint with the Indianapolis Colts, Solderitch returned to his alma mater as a graduate assistant from 1986 to 1990. While earning his MBA at the College, his responsibilities included tight ends, long snappers and organizing the scout team. He also assisted with the offensive line and helped prepare Tribe All-America linemen Scott Perkins and Reggie White. After receiving his master’s, Solderitch was named as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Newport News Apprentice School. He helped guide the team to a 17-9-1 overall record between the 1991 and 1993 seasons. While earning his B.A. in economics as an undergraduate at the College, Solderitch was a three-year starter at offensive center and earned all-state and All-East Coast Athletic Conference honors his junior and senior seasons. In 1985, he was named team captain and won the Tribe’s outstanding lineman award. In 1990, he was named to William and Mary’s 100 Years All-Time squad. Prior to his return to Williamsburg, Solderitch had a two-year stint at the Virginia Military Institute, where he coached both the offensive and defensive lines over two seasons (1994-95). His offensive lines paved the way for standout Keydet tailback Thomas Haskins, who would graduate as the NCAA’s all-time leading rusher in the College Championship Division. Solderitch graduated from Whitehall High School in 1982, where he was an all-district lineman and member of two East Penn Conference championship teams (1980-81). Solderitch and his wife, Karen, reside in the Williamsburg area. Solderitch’s Collegiate Coaching Profile Years 1986-90 1991-93 1994-95 1996-

Assistant Coaches Trevor Andrews Defensive Line Recruiting Coordinator

Steven Jerry Running Backs

Seventh Season Dayton, 1998

Fourth Season North Carolina, 1994

A six-year veteran of the College’s staff, Trevor Andrews has spent the last four seasons overseeing the team’s defensive line position and helping to improve and advance the Tribe’s recruiting efforts. In addition to coordinating the Tribe’s recruiting, Andrews also serves as W&M’s chief recruiter in Washington, D.C., as well as eastern Maryland, North Jersey and Ohio. Previous to his current responsibilities, Andrews worked as a defensive assistant for three seasons and was responsible for mentoring the secondary. The 2003 season saw Andrews groom the Tribe cornerbacks, including first-team all-league selection Billy Parker, who signed as a free agent with the Carolina Panthers upon graduation and is currently a starting cornerback for the Arena League’s New York Dragons. In his first season as defensive line coach in 2004, Andrews helped defensive end Adam O’Connor to Third-Team Associated Press All-America honors and a Second-Team All-A10 citation. O’Connor made it two-straight all-league awards in 2005, gaining third-team status. O’Connor signed a free agent contract with the Minnesota Vikings during the summer of 2007 after spending the spring as a starting offensive tackle for NFL Europa Champions, the Hamburg Sea Devils. Andrews came to the College after spending the 2000 season as an assistant at Randolph-Macon College, where he worked as the secondary coach and special teams coordinator. As a three-year letterwinner at defensive back for the University of Dayton, Andrews was a member of three conference championship teams with the Flyers and played on Dayton’s undefeated 1996 squad (11-0). After earning his B.S. in physical education from Dayton in 1998, Andrews accepted a graduate position at Illinois Wesleyan University and coached the secondary while working towards his graduate degree in athletic administration. Andrews, an accomplished musician and avid golfer, resides in the Williamsburg area.

Under the guidance of Steven Jerry, the running backs position has produced an all-conference tailback in each of his three previous seasons on campus. Jerry is once again looking to showcase his coaching prowess in 2007 as he will oversee a young, but talented group in the Tribe backfield. Jerry is the Tribe’s recruiting contact in northwest Virginia, as well as in the western part of Maryland and southern New Jersey. Elijah Brooks was a prolific performer under Jerry’s tutelage, as he ran for 1,906 yards and 17 touchdowns in his two seasons (2005-06) as the starting tailback. Brooks, who averaged 87 yards a game as the starter, earned all-conference recognition after both his junior and senior seasons. Jerry’s first season on campus was 2004 and his corps of backs proved to be one of the most successful and steady units on the A-10 Championship team, as his tailbacks combined for 1,655 rushing yards and 455 receiving yards on the season. Jerry’s standout on that unit was rugged then-senior Jon Smith, who earned Third-Team AllAtlantic 10 honors by rushing for 15 touchdowns and 784 yards. Jerry came to William and Mary from Virginia State, where he served as quarterbacks coach. While at Virginia State, Jerry also was the head coach of a pair of arenafootball2 squads, the Greensboro Prowlers and the Roanoke Steam. Jerry also served as the tight ends coach at East Tennessee State for the 2001 season. Jerry was no stranger to the Williamsburg campus, as he spent the 2000 season at the College serving as the program’s offensive assistant. From January 1997 until early in 2000, Jerry served in multiple capacities at Central Florida, working as a tight ends coach, an assistant strength and conditioning coach and an assistant track and field coach. He also has collegiate experience at Sienna College and his alma mater, the University of North Carolina. Jerry was an assistant strength coach at UNC in the summer of 1994. A 1994 graduate of UNC, Jerry received bachelor’s degrees in both sociology and communications while playing football for the Tar Heels. He currently resides in Richmond with his wife, Renee’, and the couple has two sons, Christopher (9) and Jonathan (7).

Scott Boone brings a quarter century of coaching experience to the field for the College. While the 2007 season is his fourth on campus, it will be his first working with the linebackers. The veteran mentor has proven to be a versatile developer of talent, as he has also worked with the Tribe’s defensive backs and as an offensive assistant on the staff. Boone handles the Tribe’s recruiting efforts in northern Virginia, the Philadelphia-metro area and southern New Jersey. Last year, Boone helped develop a unit that recorded six of the team’s eight interceptions. Boone’s first season (2005) as the team’s defensive backs coach saw him direct a corps that was responsible for 13 of the team’s 19 interceptions and two defensive touchdowns. Leading the way was two-time All-Atlantic 10 corner Stephen Cason, who paced the squad with four picks, including one he returned 62 yards for a score at VMI. In 2004, Boone served as an offensive assistant on the Tribe staff after spending the previous seven years as the head football coach at RandolphMacon College in Ashland, Va. In his seven seasons at Randolph-Macon, Boone compiled a record of 37-33, including a 22-18 ledger in conference action. In 1997, Boone guided the Yellow Jackets to a share of the ODAC title, going 4-1 in league play and 8-2 overall, and garnered Richmond Touchdown Club and VaSID Small College Coach of the Year honors. While at RMC, Boone coached 34 players to First-Team All-ODAC honors in his seven seasons. Also, 14 team and individual school records were broken under Boone. Prior to his stint at RMC, Boone was an assistant coach at his alma mater, Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Ind., from 1983 to 1996. In Boone’s 14 years as an assistant, Wabash posted an 81-38-2 record. In addition to his football duties, Boone was the head baseball coach at Wabash from 1986 to 1997, compiling a career record of 231-219 on the diamond, which ranks him as the school’s all-time coaching wins leader. Boone is a member of the Wabash College Athletic Hall of Fame. In addition to his bachelor’s degree from Wabash, Boone holds a Master’s of Science – Education in Higher Education Administration from Purdue University, which he received in 1999.

After spending last season working primarily with the team’s offensive scout team and assisting with the linebackers, Herman “Trey” Henderson enters his second year with the Tribe focusing his talents on the team’s cornerbacks and assisting with the entire defensive backfield. Another significant duty for Henderson is in assisting the team’s video coordinator. He is heavily involved in collecting, editing and preparing practice and game footage for the staff, using the team’s DV Sports editing system. Henderson came to Williamsburg in 2006 after spending time at Hopewell High School, where he served as the defensive backs and wide receivers coach for the previous three seasons and helped guide the Blue Devils to the 2003 AAA State Championship. Henderson also spent time as an assistant wrestling coach at Benedictine High School in Richmond, sending two wrestlers to the Prep National Tournament. A four-year letterwinning defensive back at Randolph-Macon College, Henderson started three years in the secondary and was the Yellow Jackets’ co-captain in 2001, while also spending three seasons on the baseball team. He received his Bachelor of Arts in economics and business from RMC in 2002 and completed a Master’s of Science in sport leadership at Virginia Commonwealth University this past spring. Henderson is an active member of American Football Coaches Association, the Virginia High School League and the Central Virginia Wrestling Officials Association.

Assistant Coaches Brendan Nugent Offensive Assistant

Thad Wheeler Defensive Assistant

First Season Iowa, 2006

First Season William and Mary, 2006

Brendan Nugent enters his first year on the Tribe’s staff as a focused young professional looking to make an impact in working with the team’s tight ends as the offensive assistant. In addition to working with the tight ends, Nugent will also have duties working with the Tribe’s special teams. He is the staff ’s primary recruiter for the state of California and south Florida. Nugent was exposed to the collegiate game for the past two years by working as the offensive undergraduate assistant on Kirk Ferentz’s staff at the University of Iowa. In this position, Nugent worked directly with Iowa offensive coordinator, Ken O’Keefe, assisting him with dayto-day and game day operations. Aside from his on-field work with the team’s offense and the defensive scout team, some of his additional responsibilities included playbook and opponent scouting preparation and extensive work with editing instructional footage on the team’s XOS Sagio Video System. His first job in the coaching ranks came at Archbishop Stepinac High School in his hometown of White Plains, New York, where he served as the Crusaders’ linebacker coach for the 2004 season. As a player, Nugent lettered three seasons at linebacker at Catholic University of America. He went onto earn his undergraduate degree in political science from the University of Iowa in December of 2006. Nugent is single and resides in Williamsburg.

The Tribe’s defensive unit will benefit from the return of former linebacker Thad Wheeler, who returns to his alma mater to serve as the defensive assistant. The position on the College’s staff will be the first on-field coaching job for the 2006 graduate, as he spent last season pursuing a master’s degree at Louisiana Tech University while also serving as graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach. In his role with the Bulldogs, Wheeler helped to create and implement the in- and off-season workouts for both the football and volleyball programs. With the College, he will be responsible for working with both the linebackers and defensive line, as well as being one of the office’s primary video coordinators. Wheeler was a three-year letterman for the College, having seen action in 27 career games. His finest season came during the Tribe’s league championship and NCAA playoff run in 2004, where he played in all 14 games, starting seven of the last eight, including all three playoff contests. He finished that season with 70 tackles, including five for losses. A resident of Williamsburg, Wheeler enjoys golf and lifts weights in his spare time.

The College led the nation in total offense by averaging almost 500 yards per game and claimed the Lambert Cup for I-AA supremacy in the East. 1992 William and Mary finishes with a 9-2 record, becoming only the fifth team in school history to achieve nine victories. The Tribe travels to Tokyo and defeats Nihon University, 3519, in the fifth Epson Ivy Bowl. The game was the first-ever match-up between a major U.S. college team and a Japanese university squad. 1993 Celebrating its 100th year of football, and its first year of Yankee Conference play, the Tribe posts a 9-2 record and finishes second in the league (7-1). W&M advances to the NCAA playoffs where it loses to third-seeded McNeese St., 34-28, in Lake Charles, La. Quarterback Shawn Knight sets a NCAA Division I-AA record for pass efficiency (204.6) while defensive tackle Craig Staub becomes the most decorated player in Tribe history by being named to four All-America teams, while also being honored as the league’s defensive player of the year. Staub was also named to the GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-America squad. 1994 Tribe finishes with 8-3 record, capping the best three-year stretch in school history (26-8). 1995 Jimmye Laycock becomes only the 13th Division I-AA head coach to reach the 100win plateau with a 39-0 win at defending conference champion New Hampshire. The College finishes the season with a 7-4 mark and places 13 athletes on the all-conference squad, including senior LB Jason Miller, who was also named the Yankee Conference Defensive Player of the Year.

2001 W&M posts an 8-4 mark, winning a share of the Atlantic 10 Conference crown and making its first NCAA Playoff appearance since 1996. Senior tailback Komlan Lonergan sets the career kickoff return yardage record (1,464), junior quarterback Dave Corley establishes the College’s career mark for total offense (8,173) and sophomore receiver Rich Musinski breaks the school’s single season receiving yardage mark by posting 1,393 yards on 59 catches. Eleven student-athletes earn all-conference honors and Musinski and OT Dwight Beard earn All-American honors. 2002 Tribe senior quarterback Dave Corley, Jr. breaks the school’s all-time passing yardage record in W&M’s 6-5 season, the 17th winning ledger in the past 20 years. Corley ends up as the holder of 16 school records. His main target, wide out Rich Musinski, becomes the Tribe’s all-time receiving yards leader in the season finale against Richmond. 2003 Standout wide receiver Rich Musinski breaks the Atlantic 10 record for career receiving yards with 4,168 yards and is named a first team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association. He also finished his career as the College’s all-time leader in receptions (223) and touchdowns (31). He is only the third player in NCAA history to collect more than 4,000 receiving yards. 2004 Tribe senior quarterback Lang Campbell wins the Walter Payton Award, given annually to I-AA’s top offensive player, after leading the College to its first 11-win season and first appearance in the national semifinals, a Friday night contest against state-rival JMU broadcast to a national television audience from Zable Stadium. Campbell sets single-season records for passing yards (3,988), completions (298) and touchdown passes (30), among others, and was a consensus First Team All-American and the Atlantic 10 Offensive Player of the Year, W&M’s first to earn the award. Junior place-kicker Greg Kuehn takes the A10 Special Teams Player of the Year and All-America honors after leading the nation with 19 field goals. Campbell’s main receiving threat, senior Dominique Thompson, shatters the school’s single-season record for receiving yards with 1,585 and set a new season standard with 79 receptions en route to All-America status. Junior defensive end Adam O’Connor also earned All-America honors after piling up eight sacks. 2005 Record-breaking place-kicker Greg Kuehn ends his career as one of the program’s most decorated athletes. An All-American and former conference special teams player of the year, Kuehn shattered the Atlantic 10 record for career field goals and also set the school standard with 59 field goals, a mark that ranks eighth in NCAA I-AA history. Kuehn also stands as the College’s career scoring leader at 343 points, which also ranks third in NCAA history for kickers. Additionally, Kuehn became the first A-10 kicker to earn all-conference honors in each of his four seasons. Also in 2005, permanent lights are installed at Zable Stadium and the Tribe hosts JMU, once again in front of a sellout crowd, in the first regular season night game at Zable.

1996 The College wins its first Yankee Conference title in the league’s last season of competition. On its way to the league title, the College finishes with a school-record No. 5 final national ranking, ties the school record for wins (10) and makes a quarterfinal showing in the NCAA Div. I-AA playoffs. The team also takes home the Lambert Cup and ECAC Team of the Year trophies. OG Josh Beyer and safety Darren Sharper earn multiple first team All-America honors, while Sharper becomes the third Tribe player to be named as the Yankee Conference’s Defensive Player of the Year. As a second-round selection of the Green Bay Packers, Sharper also becomes the highest NFL draft pick in school history.

In 2004, W&M won a school-record 11 games and its third Atlantic 10 Championship. The Tribe advanced to the NCAA I-AA Semifinals, hosting state-rival James Madison in a nationally- televised (ESPN2) contest at soldout Zable Stadium.

1997 W&M reaches an all-time high national ranking of No. 2 in the coaches poll in the season’s third week and finished with a 7-4 mark. W&M has 10 players named to All-Atlantic 10 honors, marking the third-straight season with double-digit honorees.

Payton Award Winner Lang Campbell After leading the College to one of its most successful seasons in school history, quarterback Lang Campbell put a fitting end to what was a magical football season by being named the recipient of the 2004 Walter Payton Award at the 18th annual I-AA College Football Awards Ceremony held on December 16th in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Campbell, became the first Tribe player to earn the award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding offensive player in the FCS ranks, by virtue of a national vote of college sports information directors and selected media. Campbell established school single-season records for passing yards (3,988), total offense (4,305) and touchdowns (30), as well as touchdowns responsible for (38, as he also had eight rushing TDs). The Winchester, Virginia, native led William & Mary to a share of the Atlantic 10 title and its first appearance in the NCAA I-AA semifinals, along with the first 11-win season in the 110-year history of the Tribe’s program. At the conclusion of the regular season, Campbell was honored as the A-10 Offensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player in the Tribe’s 12-year association with the league to earn the award. He earned the A-10’s highest individual offensive honor as the key component in a Tribe attack that averaged over 430 yards and 34 points a contest. The history and economics major helped power the squad to a 11-3 final record, a share of the A-10 Title and a school-record No. 3 seed in the NCAA Championship field by leading the conference in seven different categories, including passing yards, passing efficiency and total offense. By ending the season leading the sixth-ranked Tribe to a 38-14 win over arch rival Richmond with 291 yards and four touchdowns on 21 completions (in 28 attempts), Campbell earned his third A-10 Offensive Player of the Week honor. Campbell’s season average of 284.9 passing yards per game is a school-record and was the top figure in the A-10. Campbell became just the fourth Tribe quarterback to throw for 3,000 yards in a season and joins former All-American signal-caller Mike Cook (1995-98) as the College’s only quarterbacks to accomplish the trick in just 11 games (Cook threw for 3,028 in 1998). Campbell’s 3,988 passing yards shatters the school’s previous single-season total of 3,414, set by Chris Hakel during a 13-game 1990 season. By completing an eye-catching .655 of his attempts (298 of 455), Campbell had the third best completion percentage in school history. In fact, he ended his career by completing better than 50% of his attempts in all but one of his 24 career starts. For his career, Campbell has a completion percentage of .649, which ranks him second all-time at the College (trailing only Shawn Knight’s career mark of .655). Campbell ended the regular season with just one interception in 326 attempts. His minuscule interception percentage of .31 was the best 11-game average in the nation among all levels (the next closest total was Georgetown’s Andrew Crawford, who sported a .64 average, with just one pick in 156 attempts) and an NCAA regular-season record. Campbell ended the regular season by throwing 235 consecutive passes without an interception and had a TD-to-INT ratio of 21:1, which was far and away the nation’s best total among all quarterbacks. He also rushed for eight touchdowns and 317 yards. All season Campbell proved his ability to excel when the spotlight was shining brightest. In the eight games against ranked opponents in 2004, he averaged 291.1 passing yards per game (2,330), completed 66.1% of his attempts (154 of 233) and accounted for 18 touchdowns. In his lone outing against I-A competition, at the University of North Carolina, Campbell accounted for four touchdowns and 357 total yards in the team’s hard-fought 49-38 loss. He etched his name throughout the College’s record book in just two years as a starter, ranking fifth in career passing yards (6,494), fourth in total offense (7,149) and third in touchdown passes (54). A four-time honor roll student at the College, Campbell graduated with a GPA of better than 3.3 and with a degree in history and economics. Not only a leader on the field, Campbell was active in helping chart the school’s athletic policies, as they relate to athletes, by being a member of the school’s Student Athletics Advisory Council. He also made an impact for several local charities, including Avalon (a house for abused women and children) and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Honors and Awards

Walter Zable, Class of 1937, has long been one of the biggest supporters of Tribe football. Zable was a starting end for W&M from 1934-36, playing well enough to be named to Sports Illustratedʼs Silver Anniversary All-America team. In 1987, the NCAA awarded Zable with its highest honor, the Theodore Roosevelt Award. Zable ensured that his legacy would remain with W&M when, in 1990, he and his wife Betty (Class of 1940) made a commitment towards athletics, student aid and other needs. In recognition of the gesture, the Collegeʼs Board of Visitors approved the naming of the on-campus football stadium as Walter J. Zable Stadium at Cary Field.

Charlie Sumner (ʼ55) was induct- Chris Gessner (ʼ89) was a Firsted into the Virginia Sports Hall of Team Academic All-American in Fame in 2007. 1998.

Tribe In The Pros

Jim Ryan W&M has been producing professional football players since 1923, when Isham Hardy began his four-year pro career with the Akron Pros. Over the years, the College has manufactured a multitude of athletes who went on to star at the professional level in leagues ranging from the NFL and NFL Europa to the Canadian Football League and the Arena League. In 2005, six former Tribe players appeared on NFL rosters, including 1996 graduate, Minnesota Viking Darren Sharper, who went on to earn his third trip to the Pro Bowl after ranking second in the league with nine interceptions. In 2006, former teammates Lang Campbell (‘05) and Rich Musinski (‘04) were reunited in NFL Europe, playing for the Berlin Thunder. Musinski signed a free-agent contract with the San Diego Chargers this summer, while Adam O’Connor (‘06) also signed a free-agent contract with the Minnesota Vikings.

Walk-On Hall of Fame

“There has been a tradition of success for walk-on athletes in our program ... I think it exemplifies the importance we place on work ethic here ... If a player comes to the College and is willing to do the work in the classroom and on the field, he will get an equal opportunity to play.” - Tribe Head Coach Jimmye Laycock In athletics, players develop at different rates and react to competitive situations in different ways. For those reasons, the W&M football coaching staff understands the impact walk-on players, athletes not presented athletic scholarships directly out of high school, can make on the program. W&M has been fortunate to attract many top-quality players as walk-ons who have gone on to earn scholarships and become important parts of the success of Tribe football. Many of these players, wanting to be part of a traditional power like W&M, have turned down other scholarship offers in favor of walking onto the Tribe program with the hopes of earning a scholarship. These players’ dedication to Tribe football have been rewarded by earning scholarships and making the most of their opportunity, on and off the field. Without quality walk-on players the Tribe could not continue to perform at such a high level on the national scene. Notable players who came to W&M as walk-ons include 2004 Walter Payton Award-winning quarterback Lang Campbell, 1995 Yankee Conference Defensive Player of the Year Jason Miller, record-setting wide out Josh Whipple and all-conference safety Sean McDermott. Largely due to their unselfish approach to the game and their consummate team play, a number of former walk-ons have gone on to serve as team captains at W&M, including Mike McGowan and Stefon Moody in 1996, McDermott in 1997, Marc Matthie in 2001, both Campbell and Wade Harrell in 2004 and Pat Mulloy in 2005. In just two seasons as a starter, Campbell etched his name throughout the College record books, ranking fifth in career passing yards (6,494), fourth in total offense (7,149) and third in touchdown passes (54). In 2004, Campbell established school single-season records for passing yards (3,988), total offense (4,305) and touchdowns (30), as well as touchdowns responsible for (38, as he also had eight rushing TDs). The Winchester, VA native led William & Mary to a share of the Atlantic 10 title and its first appearance in the NCAA I-AA semifinals, along with the first 11-win season in the 111-year history of the Tribe’s program. At the conclusion of the regular season, Campbell was honored as the A-10 Offensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player in the Tribe’s 12-year association with the league to earn the award. Former W&M defensive back Palmer Scarritt, who ranks second on the W&M all-time punt return yardage list, came to the program as a walk-on. Former defensive line walk-on Alan Garlic set W&M’s career sack record at 21. Lynchburg’s Charlie White came to W&M as an undersized center and went on to earn second-team all-conference honors in 1995. Receiver Mark Compher came to Williamsburg as a walk-on and established a then-W&M record for single-season receiving yards with 1,180 in 1990. One of Compher’s teammates, fullback Tyrone Shelton, went from walk-on to a career that saw him rush for 2,534 yards, the fifth-highest total in W&M history, and become an NFL Draft selection. In 2002, Andrew Solomon led the Tribe in tackles after joining the squad as a walk-on his freshman year. The following lists on the next page show some of the most prominent W&M players who have come to the Tribe as walk-ons since 1980. Each of these student-athletes went on to earn starting positions and, more importantly, bachelor’s degrees from the College. The additions from the class of 2007 are defensive end Josh Wright and placekicker/punter Blair Pritchard.

President Gene R. Nichol

Gene R. Nichol President

Gene R. Nichol became the 26th president of the College of William and Mary on July 1, 2005. Before returning to Williamsburg, where he taught two decades ago, Nichol was Burton Craige Professor and Dean of the law school at the University of North Carolina. He served as Law Dean at the University of Colorado from 1988 to 1995, and as James Gould Cutler Professor and Director of the Institute of Bill of Rights Law at William and Mary from 1985 to 1988. Nichol was also a faculty member at the University of Florida and West Virginia University. He founded the Byron R. White Center for the Study of American Constitutional Law at the University of Colorado (1990) and the Center for Civil Rights at the University of North Carolina (2001). Nichol teaches courses in constitutional law and civil rights. He is the coauthor of Federal Courts: Cases, Comments, and Questions (West, 2000) and a contributor to Where We Stand: Voices of Southern Dissent (NewSouth Books, 2004). Nichol has published articles and essays in the Harvard Law Review, the Yale Law Journal, the University of Chicago Law Review, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, the California Law Review, the Virginia Law Review and an array of other leading legal journals. From 1998 to 1999, he was a political columnist for the Rocky Mountain News and the Colorado Daily. From Photo by Steve Salpukas. 1999 to 2005, he was a regular op-ed writer for the Raleigh News & Observer. He has also written for The Nation and other periodicals. Nichol has been significantly involved in public affairs. He has testified before a number of committees of the United States Congress and various state legislatures. In 1991, he was appointed special master by a three-judge federal court in Colorado to mediate a redistricting dispute between the governor and the legislature. The accord was ratified by statute. A year later he helped head the Colorado Reapportionment Commission. In 2004, Nichol led the North Carolina Bi-Partisan Commission on Lobbying Reform; legislation was passed enacting commission recommendations. He ran unsuccessfully for national political office while in Colorado. He has been elected to membership in the American Law Institute and the American Bar Foundation Fellows. In 2003, Nichol won the American Bar Association’s Edward R. Finch Award for delivering the nation’s best Law Day address. Two years later, Governor Michael Easley inducted Nichol into the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the state of North Carolina’s highest civilian honor, and the national judicial access organization, Equal Justice Works, named him outstanding law school dean of the year. At the College of William and Mary, Nichol has markedly increased access for students of color. He also created the Gateway William and Mary program, an innovative financial aid program that puts a quality education within the reach of all Virginians, regardless of their ability to pay. Nichol attended Oklahoma State University, where he received a degree in philosophy and played varsity football. He obtained his J.D. from the University of Texas, graduating Order of the Coif in 1976. He is married to Glenn George, a scholar of employment and labor law and a member of the faculty at the William and Mary’s Marshall-Wythe School of Law. They have three daughters: Jesse (19), Jenny (18), and Soren (14).

Sandra Day O’Connor Chancellor

Chancellor Sandra Day O’Connor Board of Visitors Michael K. Powell ’85, D.P.S. ’02 Rector Fairfax Station, Va.

Sandra Day O’Connor, one of the most distinguished jurists in the history of the United States Supreme Court—and its first female justice— addressed the most profound legal issues of her age with wisdom, courage, and skill. After a long career in public service, including nearly a quarter century on the nation’s highest court, she retired in 2006. Justice O’Connor spent her childhood on an isolated cattle ranch in southeastern Arizona tending to a variety of ranch chores, raising farm animals, and reading voraciously. After completing school in El Paso, Texas, she journeyed west to continue her education at Stanford University, where her professors inspired and challenged her to make a difference in her nation and the world. Justice O’Connor earned a B.A. in economics (magna cum laude) from Stanford University and a LL.B. from Stanford Law School. She was an editor of the law review and graduated third in her law class—two spots behind her friend and future colleague, the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist. After being admitted to the bar, Justice O’Connor served as Deputy County Attorney of San Mateo County, California, from 1952 to 1953, and as a civilian attorney for the U.S. Army Quartermaster Market Center in Frankfurt, Germany, from 1954 to 1957. From 1958 to 1960, she practiced law in Maryvale, Arizona, and served as Assistant Attorney General of Arizona from 1965 to 1969. She was appointed to the Arizona State Senate in 1969, and was subsequently reelected to two two-year terms, during which she served as Majority Leader. In 1975, she was elected Judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court and served until 1979, when she was appointed to the Arizona Court of Appeals. President Reagan nominated her as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and she took her seat September 25, 1981. She succeeded the Honorable Henry A. Kissinger as Chancellor of the College of William and Mary in 2005. In the year since her investiture, she has visited the College several times, visiting classes, talking with students, and addressing two academic conferences. She is married to John Jay O’Connor III, whom she met in law school. They have three sons: Scott, Brian, and Jay.

Athletics Directors Terry Driscoll Athletics Director Under the steady guidance and watchful eye of Terry Driscoll, the William and Mary Athletics Department has solidified its standing as one of the nation’s preeminent broadbased programs. As Driscoll enters his 12th year as athletics director, he has overseen an unprecedented era of improvement in terms of funding and facilities while also maintaining the College’s rich history of producing wellrounded student-athletes. Driscoll oversees a program that William and Mary President Gene Nichol proclaimed “The nation’s gold standard” when it came to balancing academic demands with athletic success. One of the department’s stated goals each year is to finish among the top 100 in the annual Director’s Cup rankings, which has happened in all but one of the years that Driscoll has been the director. In the last four years alone, the Tribe’s program has combined for a total of 19 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) titles. This past season, W&M claimed four CAA titles (Men’s and Women’s Cross Country, Women’s Swimming and Women’s Tennis). In 2004-05, the Tribe captured five CAA championships and an Atlantic 10 Football title. As recently as 2002-03, W&M had a school-record 10 teams compete in the NCAA Tournament, with four teams winning conference titles and six that finished in the top 25 at the end of their respective seasons. Overall, no team in the CAA can claim more all-time league championships than the 88 William and Mary has earned. As impressive as the athletic accomplishments have been during Driscoll’s tenure, the program’s academic successes have been even greater. In the NCAA’s inaugural (2004) APR rankings, a measurement of academic progress based on academic eligibility, retention, and graduation of student-athletes, W&M was fourth in the nation overall and first among institutions offering athletic performance-based scholarships. Additionally, the Tribe football team has twice posted a 100 percent graduation rate, while the majority of the program’s squads have consistently ranked among the nation’s finest in terms of graduation. In 2002, the CAA started recognizing ScholarAthletes of the Year for each of the 22 sports it sponsors, and the College has had a conference-high 22 individuals receive the honor. Despite the many academic and athletic successes, Driscoll’s impact on the program has been equally impressive in terms of physical and financial improvements. Since taking over as athletics director, Driscoll has overseen the construction of more than $20 million in new facilities, including Plumeri Park (baseball), Albert-Daly Field (soccer, lacrosse) and the Busch Courts (tennis). The total increased significantly when Driscoll announced plans to build the $11 million, 30,000-square foot Jimmye Laycock Football Center at Zable Stadium, which is scheduled to open in time for the 2008 season. This impressive structure follows closely on the heels of the installation of a $650,000 permanent lighting system (2006) and an $840,000 state-of-the-art Field Turf Pro artificial playing surface (2006) inside the stadium. Yet another significant upgrade will be unveiled inside the venerable structure for 2007, as the department will install an $800,000-plus brand new video scoreboard by the season opener. In addition to the physical structures, Driscoll has also worked with the Associate Athletics Director for Development, Bobby Dwyer, to increase the annual fundraising totals for non-capital projects from $1.36 million in 1995 to the current annual total of approximately $2.7 million. A true student-athlete himself, Driscoll’s leadership skills were developed during his collegiate years. As a student-athlete at Boston College, Driscoll captained the basketball team to the National Invitation Tournament Finals as a senior, and was named the tournament MVP. In addition to being named an All-American, his success in the classroom as a biology major garnered him an Academic All-America honor. After graduating from BC, he was the fourth overall pick of the 1969 NBA Draft, selected by the Detroit Pistons, just three spots after the Milwaukee Bucks chose UCLA’s Lew Alcindor, later to be known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Driscoll chose to play a year in Italy first, but then returned to the U.S. to play for the Pistons, Washington Bullets and Milwaukee Bucks before going back to Italy as a player and then coach until 1980.

Driscoll then entered the corporate world in 1980, working for Kazmaier Associates, Inc., an international sporting goods sales and sports marketing firm. After Kazmaier purchased Bike Athletic in 1986, KSG Inc. was formed with the objective of becoming the first, and only, national sales agency in the sporting goods industry. By 1987, Driscoll was president of the company and had expanded the agency to all 50 states just two years later. In early 1990, Driscoll’s contribution to a marketing research project for the NCAA was the initial step moving him from product marketing and sales to sports marketing and management. The result of the project was a joint venture between Kazmaier Associates and Host Communications - with Driscoll being named managing director and chief operating officer of NCAA International. In 1993, Driscoll diversified his experience in the athletic world by working as the executive director of the 1994 World Cup site in Boston. In September of that year, Driscoll was again enlisted to launch a new business, Eagle International Group, an event management and services company. As vice president, Driscoll worked with Hawaii Pacific Sports to organizing the Women’s World Volleyball Grand Prix competition in Honolulu. Driscoll resides in Williamsburg with his wife, Susan. The couple has two children – Keith, a 1997 graduate of Holy Cross, and Leslie, a 2001 graduate of William and Mary.

Since first arriving on campus in 1978, Blosser has touched the lives of thousands of Tribe student-athletes. She has held her current title since April of 2004, after spending the previous 12 years as the associate atheletics director. In each role, Blosser has served as an integral part of nearly every facet of the department’s daily operations. Blosser started her career at William and Mary as the head women’s basketball coach in 1978 and guided the Tribe to a VAIAW crown in her first season with a then school-record 16 wins (16-13). Her 1980 Tribe team (11-14) placed third, while the 1981 squad (16-16) was VAIAW runner-up. She was also at the helm during the 198485 season when William and Mary made the jump to NCAA Division I. Overall, she finished her coaching career with 115 wins, 84 of which came at William and Mary. When the College’s men’s and women’s athletic programs merged in May of 1986, she moved to administration, first serving as the assistant to the associate athletics director. Over the past 17 years, her administrative responsibilities at W&M have included the monitoring of financial aid matters, coordinating the scheduling of athletic facilities, supervision of coaches and staff and, currently, serving as the person primarily responsible for administering the day-to-day operations of the department. From October 1992 to June 1993 and August 1995 to July 1996, Blosser also served as acting athletics director in an interim capacity. For her efforts, she was named the first recipient of the John Randolph Inspiration Award. Blosser has served on various committees such as the NCAA Strategic Planning Committee and the Colonial Athletic Association Competition Committee. Blosser began her coaching career at the helm of the women’s basketball program at Ashland College in Ohio. During two seasons there, she led the Eagles to successive 15-7 and 16-8 ledgers. Her 1977 squad won the AIAW Region V Championship, while her 1978 team took the OAISW Small College title. A former three-sport standout at Ohio State, Blosser graduated Cum Laude in 1975 with a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education. At OSU, she was selected to both Phi Beta Kappa and Mortar Board. She competed in basketball, field hockey and tennis and captained both the basketball and field hockey squads her senior year. She went on to earn her master’s degree from the University of North Carolina Greensboro in 1978.

“Exercise and recreation … are as necessary as reading; I will say rather more necessary, because health is worth more than learning. A strong body makes the mind strong.” - Thomas Jefferson, Class of 1762 Academic Excellence The Tribe’s athletic accomplishments do not come at the expense of its student-athlete’s academic responsibilities, as W&M ranked fourth, the highest of any athletic scholarship-granting school and of any public school, among Division I teams when the NCAA released its inaugural Academic Progress Rate scores in 2005. This year, the NCAA honored 13 W&M teams as recipients of its public recognition award. The Tribe teams recognized are baseball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball. Additionally, in the latest NCAA graduation rate reports, three Tribe teams posted 100% graduation rates, including football, women’s basketball and women’s cross country/track. As a department, W&M graduated 89% of its student-athletes in the report, compared to national average of 63%. Since 1992, 39 studentathletes have been designated Academic All-Americans, including three in the past academic year. Keith Bechtol (men’s track) was a First-Team selection in the spring, Ryan Overdevest (men’s soccer) was a Second-Team selection in the fall and Anna Young (women’s soccer) was a Third-Team selection in the fall as well. Also since 1992, 41 studentathletes have been members of Phi Beta Kappa, including Bechtol and Christina Padilla (women’s gymnastics) in 2007. In 2002-03, the CAA created a Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award in each of its 22 sports, and not surprisingly, W&M has set the pace with 22 winners. Bechtol was the CAA Scholar Athlete of the Year in both cross country and track field, bringing his career award total to five. Meghan Bishop (women’s cross country) earned her fourth CAA Scholar Athlete of the Year award in the fall in cross country. In addition, four of W&M’s five Rhodes scholars participated in varsity sports.

Weekly CAA Football Coaches Call The CAA Football coaches will hold a weekly teleconference for the media beginning Monday, Aug. 27. The call will take place each Monday during the season, concluding Nov. 19 with only those coaches who will represent CAA Football in the Division I Football Championships. The teleconference will open with the release of the four selected player of the week winners, a recap of the weekend and a preview of the following week. CAA Football coaches will be available to answer questions beginning at 10:10 a.m. The weekly lineup is listed below. The phone number to take part in the call is 888.289.3996. Members of the media should contact Scott Meyer (804.754.1616 x20) at the CAA office for the password to access the call. Comments from the call will also be available on the web at www.CAASports.com each Monday after 1 p.m.

The broadcast team of Jay Colley and Bob Sheeran will once again relay the excitement of Tribe football over the airwaves. Play-by-play chief Colley also covers the Tribe basketball squad. A mass communications graduate of Middle Tennessee State University, Colley has been a fixture of the Tribe’s sports broadcasts for over 20 years. In 2002, Colley was granted honorary alumnus status by William and Mary. Bob Sheeran has never drifted far from the beat of W&M sports. A 1967 graduate of the College, Sheeran served as W&M’s sports information director for 16 years before entering private business in 1985. He has teamed up with Colley for the last 22 years as part of the football broadcasts and has also served as an integral part of all W&M Quarterback Club booster functions since his graduation. A testament to his dedication to the College was witnessed in 2003 as an endowment was organized in his name by HEYFARL (a W&M football booster organization) to provide scholarship support for a Tribe walk-on football player.
