With 15 starters returning from a squad that turned in a 7-4 mark a season ago, expectations are high. The Tribe figures to be led by a contingent of returning allconference performers, including 2008 All-American DE Adrian Tracy.
Tribe Head Coach Jimmye Laycock enters his 30th season on the W&M sidelines supported by a coaching staff that brings the squad more than a 100 years of combined Division I coaching experience.
DJ McAulay is one of six returning all-conference performers for the Tribe. perf He looks to finish his career inside the top 10 of most of the school’s career receiving categories.
Mike Cook graduated after the 1998 season as one in a long line of great signal callers in W&M’s history. He is one of three quarterbacks to have earned AllAmerican honors under Laycock’s tutelage.

FOOTBALL A MESSAGE FROM HEAD COACH JIMMYE LAYCOCK In a program that has more than 110 years of tradition, there is no more exciting time to be involved with William and Mary football than the present. Generations of Tribe players have benefited from receiving one of the world’s best educations, while also excelling on the playing field. The successes of the coaches and players who have come before have made it possible for all future generations of William and Mary athletes to enjoy facilities that are now equal to the greatness of the program’s tradition. In the last five years, the school’s commitment to football has been unparalleled, as we have installed a new FieldTurf playing surface, a state-of-the-art scoreboard and, of course, the $11 million football center. These additions will allow Tribe players to maximize their development in a first-class environment using the most modern technology available. There is no doubt that our great history has positioned the program for an even brighter future. As ever, we are looking for student-athletes who want the opportunity to be a part of a championship football program and value the educational experience that will pay dividends for a lifetime. Go Tribe!

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. For Tribe Football, the same principles apply, as many former football players have gone on to have successful careers in the business world, professional sports and a number of other areas. Among the notables is Mike Tomlin (’95), who was named the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers on January 22, 2007 and has since led his team to a Super Bowl

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 had more than its fair share of the best and brightest of America to claim as its own. Pictured on these pages are a few of the program’s finest alums who have gone on to make an impact in their chosen field.

“Being on campus you always felt like you were part of something bigger. The history and the prestige of William and Mary makes you proud to be a part of the school. The lessons learned in the classroom and out of it continue to be a part of my life to this day.”
“During my years as a student-athlete at William and Mary, the quality of my experience was often measured by grades and box stats. However, in my years since leaving the College, that same experience has been measured by certain intangibles such as integrity, accountability and commitment – a testament to the high expectations set by the College and the athletic program. While playing football there, you think in terms of wins and losses and it’s not until after you’ve graduated do you realize that you’re adequately prepared to face the successes and challenges that lay ahead. William and Mary provided me the opportunity and resources to establish a strong foundation in life and I still stand on it today.”

STORIED HISTORY 2009 TRIBE FOOTBALL
“FLYIN” JACK CLOUD
THREE-TIME ALL-AMERICAN
The 1942 squad posted a 9-1-1 record and concluded the season with a 14-7 victory at Oklahoma en route to W&M’s second Southern Conference title.
A three-time All-American, Flyin’ Jack Cloud led the Tribe to one of the nation’s biggest upsets in 1948 when W&M tied North Carolina, 7-7. He also helped the College defeat N.C. State, Virginia Tech and Arkansas that season. Cloud’s NFL career included stints with the Green Bay Packers and the Washington Redskins.
Senior co-captains Lang Cambell and Wade Harrell led the Tribe to the national semifinal game in 2004. The College earned a school-record 11 wins that season and claimed the Atlantic 10 title.
STORIED 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 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 20 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 (522) 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 Con-
8
ference in 1993, W&M has won conference championships three times. The Tribe captured league titles in 1996, 2001 and 2004.
First Team All-American Michael “Pinball” Clemons was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 1987 and later played 12 seasons for the Toronto Argonauts before being inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame.
Bowl Games
W&M earned 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. W&M faced Arkansas in the 1947 Dixie Bowl and battled Toledo in the 1970 Tangerine Bowl.
Remember When?
Flyin’ Jack Cloud led W&M to one of the nation’s biggest upsets in 1948, 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, it listed the 10 greatest upsets in history. One of them was William and Mary 27, Navy 16, Oct. 21, 1967.
WWW.TRIBEATHLETICS.COM
Storied Rivalries
The W&M-Richmond rivalry is the fourth-most played series in FCS history, trailing only LafayetteLehigh (143), Yale-Princeton (130) and Yale-Harvard (124). Additionally, the W&M-UR match-up is among longest uninterrupted running FCS rivalries in the nation.
STORIED HISTORY
A two-time All-American at W&M, Steve Christie had a successful NFL career.

Head Coach Lou Holtz and his staff, which included assistant Bobby Ross, led the Tribe to the 1970 Southern Conference title. Holtz was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame this past summer.
HISTORY Legendary Coaches
In 1964, current NFL Hall-of-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.

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 more than 60 all-time All-Americans, including 33 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 19 winning seasons, made seven playoff appearances and nine postseason appearances in total, while rewriting nearly the entire football record book. 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.
NFL Hall-of-Famer Marv Levy led William and Mary to the 1966 Southern Conference Championship. Among his most memorable victories was a 27-16 win versus Navy in 1967, which was later deemed as one of college football’s 10 greatest upsets when the NCAA celebrated its first 100 years.

The $11 million, 30,000-square foot Jimmye Laycock Football Center was dedicated in June of 2008 and provides a state-of-the-art facility for the program. The center features meeting rooms, coaches’ offices, team and coaches’ lockers, an athletic training room, equipment storage areas and administrative support areas.
The center’s foyer features a 1,650-square foot area that serves as a grand entrance with a circular stairwell to offices. The area also displays prominent moments from the program’s proud history.
The 900-square foot recruiting lounge features a flat-screen HD TV and has windows and a balcony overlooking Zable Stadium.
The 4,200-square foot locker room features two flat-screen HD TVs and 102 fully equipped lockers with airflow systems.
The center features five meeting rooms that are all networked with a high-tech video system.
FACILITY THE JIMMYE LAYCOCK FOOTBALL CENTER 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. Last June, W&M officially dedicated the $11 million, 30,000-square foot Jimmye Laycock Football Center, which is located at the northwest corner of Zable Stadium. Funded exclusively through private gifts, the facility provides a new home for meeting rooms, coaches’ offices, team and coaches’ lockers, an athletic training room, equipment storage areas and administrative support areas. As part of the Laycock Center project, the Joseph Montgomery Practice Complex was also redone with natural grass Bermuda sod. The construction of the Laycock Center is just the most recent addition to what has been an incredible transformation of Tribe football facilities. Prior to the 2007 season, W&M added a state-of-the-art scoreboard with video replay capabilities. The scoreboard is located in the same area as the previous scoreboard and is supported by brick columns that compliment the campus surroundings. In 2006, FieldTurf Pro, a new top-of-the-line artificial playing surface that is featured in more than 20 NFL stadiums, was installed. During the previous season, a state-of-the-art lighting system was added to accommodate night games.

OVERVIEW OUTLOOK Led by senior All-American defensive end Adrian Tracy (No. 97), the Tribe returns 15 starters from last season’s team that finished the year ranked 20th in the nation.
2009 OUTLOOK
OVERVIEW As head coach Jimmye Laycock enters his 30th season at the helm of the Tribe program, it is only fitting that his 2009 squad holds the promise to write its name among the long list of great teams he has produced over three successful decades. Last year, Laycock produced the 20th winning season of his career as his charges fashioned a 7-4 mark and a No. 20 final national ranking. Expectations abound as the unit returns 15 starters, six of whom earned AllCAA accolades last fall. The Tribe is ranked as high as No. 12 in the preseason polls and much of this optimism starts with the defensive side of the ball, where the unit returns eight starters. Leading the way is DE Adrian Tracy, who enters the fall as the CAA’s Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and has the credentials to be a Buchanan finalist. Another force up front will be senior tackle Sean Lissemore, who is the complete package physically and will undoubtedly challenge for postseason honors. The unit graduated a pair of linebackers, but there is plenty of young talent at the position, led by MLB Jake Trantin. Trantin has a great feel for the game, is expected to be one of the foundations of the defense. In the backfield, the return of four players with starting experience should lessen the loss of All-CAA corner Derek Cox, who was a third round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. Leading the group will be strong safety David Caldwell, who was the team’s leading tackler the last two seasons. Caldwell is an explosive athlete and 20
the staff will scheme to put him in position to take advantage of his outstanding play-making abilities. On the offensive side, multi-talented TB Jonathan Grimes headlines the list of returnees, as he is coming off what was arguably the most decorated rookie season in league history. Grimes was named as the CAA’s Rookie of the Year and enters the fall as a preseason First-Team All-CAA selection. At QB, the staff is excited about the potential senior R.J. Archer brings to the position. An extremely gifted athlete, Archer is a multiple threat as he has a strong, accurate arm and the ability to make plays with his feet. At wide out, speedy senior D.J. McAulay is a returning all-conference performer who has the potential to be a premier play-maker. The tight end position has another returning all-conference performer in senior Rob Varno. Varno was one of league’s most productive ends a year ago and should shoulder an even larger portion of the attack for his senior season. Up front, the squad will rely on the leadership of senior guard C.J. Muse, who will bring 33 games of starting experience into the fall. The Tribe will also return both starting tackles from last year’s squad, in sophomore Jake Marcey (left) and junior Keith Hill, Jr. (right). Rounding out the list, the Tribe figures to have an elite specialty corps, as both place-kicker Brian Pate and punter David Miller enter the year as preseason first-team All-CAA selections.

ALL-CAA CANDIDATE SENIOR QUARTERBACK R.J. ARCHER
OUTLOOK QUARTERBACKS
One of the Tribe’s best all-around athletes, senior R.J. Archer enters the season as the Tribe’s starting quarterback. The former wide receiver threw for 307 yards and accounted for three touchdowns against Villanova in his first career start under center.
2009 OUTLOOK
QUARTERBACKS The quarterback role is always a premier position at the College, as head coach Jimmye Laycock is one of the nation’s finest at grooming signal callers. By earning all-conference recognition in 2008, Jake Phillips earned the 19th postseason honor for a Tribe quarterback in the last 29 seasons under Laycock’s guidance. With Phillips’ graduation, the Tribe offense loses a veteran who started 33 games and finished his career ranked third at W&M in career passing yards (7,371), total offense (7,983), pass completions (568), pass attempts (972) and touchdown passes (57). But optimism abounds at the position, as senior R.J. Archer seems poised to carry on the school’s great quarterback tradition. Standing at 6-2, 200 pounds, Archer has all the physical attributes for the role and is one of the team’s top athletes. He possesses outstanding arm strength and accuracy and also has the speed and quickness to extend plays. Equally comfortable throwing on the move as he is dropping back, look for the staff to find creative ways to move the pocket and put him in situations where he can create multiple threats. Despite making only one career start under center, Archer gained a wealth of knowledge in the Tribe attack as a two-year starter at wide receiver during his redshirt freshman and sophomore seasons. Archer only confirmed his grip on the starting slot this spring, as he turned in an outstanding practice session that saw him blossom into his role as one of the team’s leaders.
Archer appeared in every game during the 2008 season, seeing mostly spot action at quarterback while also serving as the holder for placement kicks. His only start of the year came against nationally ranked Villanova, where he showed very well, completing 21-of-37 passes for 307 yards and a touchdown. He also scored twice on the ground against the Wildcats. He ended the season completing 28-of-53 passes for 387 yards and three touchdowns. He also recorded 90 yards rushing on 23 carries (3.9 yds per attempt). One of the greatest testaments to his athleticism was his effectiveness in his two seasons as a wide out as he recorded 69 catches for 940 yards, averaging nearly 14 yards per grab. While Archer clearly established himself as the team’s starter, the battle for the crucial No. 2 role is yet to be decided. A four-way competition blazed all spring between junior Mike Callahan, sophomores D.J. Mangus and Terrance Schmand and redshirt freshman Nolan Kearney. Callahan has been a member of the team’s travel squad for the past two seasons and is the most experienced of the group and was solid in spring scrimmage situations. Mangus displayed flashes of athletic brilliance and has a good deal of raw talent, but is looking to gain more experience with the offense. Schmand is cut more from the pocket passer mode, at 6-3, 215-pounds, with a strong arm. The group will continue to audition for the role into fall in what will be one of the more hotly contested position battles.

ALL-AMERICA CANDIDATE SOPHOMORE RUNNING BACK JONATHAN GRIMES
After leading the Tribe in rushing yards as a redshirt freshman in 2007, Courtland Marriner looks to regain that form again after missing much of his sophomore year with an injury.
Sophomore running back Jonathan Grimes was honored as the 2008 CAA Offensive Rookie of the Year after leading the conference and ranking 12th nationally with 162 all-purpose yards per game.
Junior running back Terrence Riggins led the Tribe with 8.1 yards per carry in 2008.
2009 OUTLOOK
RUNNING BACKS Tribe running backs coach David Corley, Jr., returns a talented group to the backfield for 2009. Corley will oversee a corps of backs that returns four of its top five rushers from 2008 and all but 240 of the 1,742 total rushing yards. The challenge he and the staff faced this spring, and will continue to pursue into the fall, is finding ways to spread the touches out among his charges. Certainly, all conversation at tailback has to start with rising sophomore, and clear postseason honors candidate, Jonathan Grimes. The 5-10, 201-pound native of Palmyra, N.J., comes off what is arguably the most decorated single-season ever by a Tribe freshman. Grimes turned in a breakout campaign that saw him establish a school record for freshman rushing yards (929) and all-purpose yards (162.0 yds/ gm). The College Sporting News selected him as an Honorable Mention Freshman of the Year, and he also earned Honorable Mention All-America distinction as a kick returner by The Sports Network. The Colonial Athletic Association tabbed him as the Offensive Rookie of the Year, as did the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference. He also earned first-team All-CAA honors as a kick returner and was a second-team selection as a running back. A multiple-tool athlete, he is the complete package for the position, as he has outstanding strength, great speed and good quickness. In addition to being a workhorse in the ground game, where he accounted for nearly half the team’s total carries (164 of 359 ) and tallied seven rushing touchdowns, Grimes also had an impact on the passing attack. He hauled in 39 spirals for 314 yards and a 22
pair of touchdowns. As a kickoff returner, Grimes averaged a league-best 24.5 yards per return, with a season-long of 97 yards (for a touchdown) against Villanova. While Grimes enters the fall as the team’s starting tailback, junior Courtland Marriner also turned heads during the spring session. The 5-9, 182-pound speedster was the squad’s leading rusher as a freshman in 2007 (518 yards on 115 attempts), but was limited last year to just 29 attempts (for 141 yards) by an early- season knee injury. Like Grimes, he is extremely elusive in the open field and is possibly the team’s fastest back. Look for him to have an increased impact this fall, as he has worked extremely hard at improving his all-around game and has the kind of explosiveness that makes him a threat from anywhere on the field. Fellow junior Terrence Riggins also figures to be an impact player, as he is the team’s biggest back at 6-1, 224-pounds and possesses good speed. He was the Tribe’s starting tailback for the first three games of the 2008 season before also being dealt a setback with an injury. He brings a career average of 6.5 yards a carry into the fall (384 yards on 59 career attempts) and has tremendous potential to contribute in multiple ways. He saw some action at fullback in the spring and can also be an effective pass catcher. Junior Jimmy Hobson figures to be the team’s starting fullback this fall, a position he held down all of last season. He is athletic enough to see action at tailback, if necessary, and can be an asset in the passing game.

ALL-CAA CANDIDATE SENIOR TIGHT END ROB VARNO
ALL-CAA CANDIDATE SENIOR WIDE RECEIVER D.J. MCAULAY
OUTLOOK RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDS Senior wide out D.J. McAulay recorded eight touchdown receptions and led the conference with 18.0 yards per catch en route to earning All-CAA honors in 2008.
Senior tight end Rob Varno earned second-team all-conference honors last season after hauling in 36 receptions for 397 yards and three touchdowns.
2009 OUTLOOK
RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDS Veteran Tribe wide out coach and offensive coordinator Zbig Kepa returns five of his top six pass catchers from 2008, as graduated senior Elliott Mack (29 catches for 445 yards) is the only departure from a receiving corps that generated 2,219 receiving yards and 24 TDs. While Mack’s leadership and play-making ability will be missed, Kepa has the makings for a potent group. Leading the way will be senior speedster D.J. McAulay, the team’s leading pass catcher from a season ago (40 grabs for 718 yards and eight TDs). With a scholastic-best clocking of 10.5 seconds in the 100-meters, he came into the program as one of the fastest recruits in school history and has steadily built towards becoming one of the league’s premier deep-threats. After sustaining a serious knee injury during the first game of the 2007 season, McAulay had a solid comeback in 2008 as he earned third-team All-CAA honors. The staff will count on McAulay’s speed and sure hands to have an even greater impact in 2009 as he has the potential to factor in among the nation’s elite play-makers. He will enter his senior season needing 819 receiving yards and five TD receptions to enter the school’s all-time top 10 in both categories. Tight end Rob Varno also returns as an all-conference candidate who should compete for national honors. Last year, he was second in the CAA in both receptions (36) and receiving yards (397), while also contributing three touchdowns en route to earning second-team all-league honors. The 6-5, 224-pound product of Wilmington, N.C., started his career primarily as a pass catching threat, but has worked extremely
hard to improve his blocking technique. Along with working hard on the field, he also excels in the weight room, and the fruits of this hard work produced a Tribe position record 520-pound squat this off-season. While Varno figures to dominate the majority of the snaps at tight end, sophomore Alex Gottlieb and junior Gareth Hissong also have the potential to contribute. Both saw action in 2008, with Gottlieb being more of a threat in the passing attack and Hissong seeing action in short-yardage situations. Sophomore Chase Hill had a breakout debut season in 2008, as he contributed 39 catches for 438 yards and seven touchdowns playing primarily in the slot receiver position. This spring, he expanded his knowledge of the offense and could see action at any of the three wide out positions. Standing at 6-2, Hill makes an outstanding target and he proved to have the toughness to make catches in crowds. While he is ideal in working as a possession receiver, he has also displayed the speed to finish plays and has the ability to challenge for postseason honors this fall. Hardworking junior Terreon Conyers showed well in starting the final three games last fall (for an injured Mack) and continued to impress during spring camp, emerging as the most likely candidate for the third receiver role. An aggressive and physical receiver, Conyers joins Hill as the unit’s best blocking wide outs. Junior Cameron Dohse and senior Eric Robertson also will play key roles this fall. Dohse was one of the team’s more pleasant surprises in ’07, as he recorded 31 grabs for 557 yards and five scores. His production was very limited last season due to injury.

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN OUTLOOK
ALL-CAA CANDIDATE SENIOR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN C.J. MUSE
Senior offensive lineman C.J. Muse enters the 2009 season having started 33 career games.
2009 OUTLOOK
OFFENSIVE LINEMEN Long-time Tribe offensive line coach Bob Solderitch returns three starters to his unit from a season ago. Last year the front five powered one of the league’s most efficient attacks, as the team averaged better than 32 points and nearly 400 yards of total offense a contest. Solderitch, who has mentored 15 players to a total of 19 all-conference honors during his previous 13 seasons on campus, has the proven ability to maximize the available talent. The cornerstone of the front will consist of senior guard CJ Muse (6-4, 313), junior tackle Keith Hill (6-4, 312) and sophomore tackle Jake Marcey (6-4, 276). The trio all return with extensive starting experience and will be expected to be at the forefront, while Solderitch and the staff finalizes the remainder of the unit. As the only senior in the group, Muse is one of the squad’s most seasoned players, he has started 33-career games. One of the most versatile linemen, he is able to play any of the three roles up front, specializing in guard. Marcey started all 11 games at left tackle last fall as a redshirt freshman and returns looking to improve on a solid debut. He brings an aggressive approach to the position and has good feet. Hill, who missed all of the spring with a shoulder injury, comes into the fall as the starting right tackle. He is one of the squad’s more physical players and his healthy return will be a great lift to the attack. Junior Derek Toon (6-3, 288) also missed all of the spring with a shoulder injury, and his healthy return will give the front added toughness and a fierce 24
competitor. A physical player with good feet, he figures to challenge for starting duties at guard opposite of Muse. He converted to the position last fall from defensive tackle and quickly found his way onto the field. Junior Tyler Miller (6-3, 280) and sophomores James Pagliaro (6-3, 278) and Chris Sutton (6-2, 295) all figure to have an opportunity to challenge for playing time at center. Miller came to the College with outstanding scholastic credentials but has fought injuries during the last several years. He was able to compete throughout spring and continued health will make him a valuable asset as he continues to build size and strength. Sutton, a physical player, could also figure in the mix at guard, while Pagliaro had moved over from the defensive line during the spring and made quick progress. Sophomore Dan Donker (6-3, 311) also figures in the mix up front this fall. He had one of the better spring sessions among the offensive linemen and has all the physical tools to be a productive player at either guard or tackle. Redshirt freshman Mike Salazar (6-5, 296) and sophomore Daniel Ryan (6-3, 293) have both shown flashes of potential and will compete for playing time at tackle and guard, respectively. For Salazar, gaining more experience will be key, as he missed a majority of the spring with an injury. Ryan made tremendous strides this spring and will look to continue building on his progress this fall.

Sophomore defensive tackle Harold Robertson III earned starts in all 11 games last season as a redshirt freshman.
2009 OUTLOOK
DEFENSIVE LINEMEN If there is one line that should not be crossed this season, it is the Tribe’s defensive line, as position coach Trevor Andrews brings what looks to be one of nation’s premier defensive fronts into the fall. Headlining the talented group that returns its top eight players from 2008 is first-team All-CAA performer and honorable mention All-American Adrian Tracy (64, 243). Tracy’s 10 sacks in 11 games ranked third in the conference last season, while he placed sixth nationally in sacks per game (0.91). A complete package physically, Tracy’s speed, strength and superior quickness combined with his 33 games of starting experience make him a strong candidate for the Buchanan Award (given annually to the nation’s top defensive player). He comes into the season with 19 career QB takedowns, only five sacks away from the school record. What may make Tracy even more of a handful for opposing offenses is the presence of senior defensive tackle Sean Lissemore. The 6-4, 286-pound specimen is extremely strong, athletic and active on the interior. For the past two seasons, Lissemore has had to fight off nagging shoulder injuries, but he enters the fall healthy and his strength continues to show dramatic improvements (410-pound bench and 570pound squat). Last season, Lissemore totaled 51 tackles, a figure that ranked him sixth in the conference among defensive linemen. Lissemore also finished second on the team with 7.5 tackles for a loss. With 21 games of starting experience coming into the season, Lissemore should be a serious challenger for postseason recognition.
Senior end C.J. Herbert (6-3, 237) and sophomore tackle Harold Robertson III (6-2, 300) round out the returning starters. Herbert enters the fall as one of the team’s most respected players after starting all but one game during the last three seasons (32 career starts). One of the team’s most consistent performers, Herbert helped anchor a defense that finished sixth in the conference in sacks last season with 24. While it is hard to be overlooked at their respective sizes, Robertson (6-2, 300) and junior Mike Stover (6-3, 265) enter the season as perhaps the most unheralded members of the Tribe’s defensive line. After starting all 11 games as a redshirt freshman last season and recording 26 tackles, Robertson enters the fall as one of the Tribe’s most talented young players. Already one of the stronger linemen on the team (380-pound bench), Robertson will look to be force in the Tribe’s rush defense. Stover, who enters the fall listed as the starting tackle, has seen game action since his true freshman season and brings outstanding strength and work ethic to the team’s interior defense. The talent up front doesn’t stop with the first team, as sophomore end Ravi Pradhanang (6-3, 250) and junior tackle Bryan Jean-Pierre (6-4, 272) bring tremendous athletic potential and effective depth. Pradhanang brings speed and strength to the edge, while Jean-Pierre was explosive off the ball and showed flashes of brilliance during the spring session. Senior Daniel Pulley (6-2, 266) is one of the more experienced tackles on the roster and gives the squad reliable depth.

LINEBACKERS OUTLOOK
ALL-CAA CANDIDATE SOPHOMORE LINEBACKER KER JAKE TRANTIN
Junior linebacker Evan Francks earned five starts in 2008 and totaled 47 tackles.
Sophomore linebacker Jake Trantin led all CAA freshmen with 6.9 tackles per game last season.
Junior linebacker Wes Steinman enters the fall as a projected starter after a standout showing this spring.
2009 OUTLOOK
LINEBACKERS With the graduation of two, three-year starters in all-conference performer Josh Rutter and Mike Pigram, the Tribe linebacking corps will be one of the squad’s younger units. Despite having just one senior listed on the preseason two-deep, position coach Scott Boone will enter his sixth season at the College with an interesting mixture of talented youngsters who have earned significant game experience. Perhaps no player represents the combination of youth and experience better than sophomore middle linebacker Jake Trantin (6-1, 224), who led all CAA freshmen with 6.9 tackles per-game last fall. Trantin started the first seven games at outside linebacker before moving inside to gain valuable experience when Rutter suffered a mid-season injury. In what was a mini-preview for the season to come, Trantin averaged 10.5 tackles per game in his four contests as the middle backer. The impressive efforts helped him finish the year with 76 tackles, which ranked second on the team. During the spring, Trantin displayed impressive leadership and command of the defense and has the tools and work ethic to emerge as an all-conference level performer. Junior Wes Steinman (6-2, 218) lines up as Trantin’s right-hand man this season after suffering a season-ending injury in the opener at N.C. State last season. As a freshman, Steinman appeared in seven games with one start. Steinman boasts a combination of strength (540-pound squat and a 308-pound clean) and 26
athleticism, which makes him a perfect fit for the Tribe’s defensive scheme. His strong spring was one of the top stories to emerge from College’s camp, and the staff will look for him to carry that momentum into the fall. Rounding out the starting linebackers is junior Evan Francks (5-11, 212), a converted safety who excelled at linebacker last season. Franks registered five starts in 2008 and recorded 47 tackles, two of those going for a loss. With 22 career appearances to his ledger, he will be counted on to be a consistent, reliable performer. A relentless competitor, Francks is one of the squad’s top “effort players” who relies on sound technique and maintaining his alignments and assignments. Sheldon Alexander (6-1, 213) returns as the veteran of the linebacking corps and is possibly the most versatile in the group, as he could fill in at any of the three positions. Adding to the depth will be a trio of redshirt freshmen in T.J. Ptachick (6-2, 225), Dante Cook (5-11, 213) and Jabrel Mines (6-0, 206), each of whom the coaching staff has high expectations for in the 2009 season. Ptachick, a Williamsburg native, earned Scout Team Defensive Player of the Year honors last season and has the size and toughness to be an effective player in the middle. Mines and Cook were also members of the scout team last season but impressed the coaching staff this spring with their speed and athleticism. While all will challenge for reps at linebacker, each will be a valuable member of special teams units as well.

ALL-CAA CANDIDATE SENIOR SAFETY DAVID CALDWELL
OUTLOOK DEFENSIVE BACKS
Junior cornerback Ben Cottingham recorded 10 starts in ’08 and totaled 36 tackles and an interception.
Junior free safety Michael Alvarado earned nine starts last season and recorded 47 tackles and two interceptions.
Senior strong safety David Caldwell has led the Tribe in tackles during each of the past two seasons.
2009 OUTLOOK
DEFENSIVE BACKS While replacing three-year starter and two-time team captain Derek Cox, now a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars, will be a tall task, Tribe defensive coordinator and secondary coach Bob Shoop returns a wealth of talent to what figures to be a physical and sure-handed group in the defensive backfield. The most physical among them is senior and three-year starter at strong safety David Caldwell (5-11, 212), the Tribe’s leading tackler the past two seasons. Caldwell is a dynamic athlete who recorded 78 tackles and a pair of interceptions in 2008. Pound for pound, Caldwell is arguably one of the strongest players ever to wear the Green and Gold, as he holds position records for the hang clean (350-pounds) and squat (600pounds). His explosive strength also translates to speed on the field, as witnessed by the pair of scores he turned in last season, a 66-yard return of a blocked field goal and a 62-yard pick-six. His combination of speed, power and experience should position him to challenge for his first postseason recognition in 2009. Starting alongside of Caldwell at the free safety position will be senior Robert Livingston (6-3, 199), with junior Michael Alvarado (6-0, 198) pushing for playing time. Livingston started all 11 games in 2007 and played in the final nine games of 2008, making two starts, after missing the first two games with injury. Livingston brings a high football IQ to the Tribe’s defensive backfield and is one of the team’s most consistent performers. Alvarado brings an athletic and aggressive presence to the field, as the junior tallied 47 tackles and two interceptions in nine starts last season.
On the edges, junior cornerback Ben Cottingham (5-9, 163) returns after recording 36 tackles and one interception in 10 starts last season. A walk-on his freshman season, Cottingham’s work ethic and intelligence quickly made him one of the most fundamentally sound members of the secondary and a leader at the cornerback position. Opposite Cottingham will be sophomore Terrell Wells (5-10, 177), who missed all but three games of 2008 due to an elbow injury. Wells should provide the College with an athletic cover corner with all the tools to be a productive boundary corner. Redshirt freshman B.W. Webb (5-11, 160) will also figure in the mix at cornerback. One of the team’s top pure athletes, Webb blends explosive strength (410-pound squat) to go along with a position-record 38-inch vertical leap. Rounding out the secondary are upperclassmen Ryan Woolfolk (5-11, 191), Fred Johnson (6-1, 187) and Jake O’Connor (6-0, 185) as well as redshirt freshman Brian Thompson (5-11, 197). Woolfolk made a seamless transition from tailback to corner this spring and figures in the mix. Johnson, a senior, started one game last season at the corner position and recorded one interception to go along with his consistent work on special teams. O’Connor and Thompson will provide depth at the strong safety position behind Caldwell. O’Connor, a sophomore, will contribute as a standout special teams performer as he competes for playing time, while Thompson, who served mainly on the scout team last season, has outstanding physical tools and could make an immediate contribution.

Sophomore kickoff returner Jonathan Grimes garnered All-America honors from The Sports Network after leading the conference with 24.5 yards per return.
Junior punter David Miller earned allconference distinction in 2008 after ranking 16th nationally with 41.53 yards per kick.
2009 OUTLOOK
SPECIAL TEAMS Since first joining its current league affiliation in 1993, the Tribe specialty units have been truly special, as the College has raked in 21 all-conference citations among its place kickers, punters and return specialists. The 2009 season should be no exception to that tradition of excellence as the program returns what could be the finest kicker/punter/return specialist combinations in the CAA. Chief among the returning award winners is senior place kicker Brian Pate, a first-team all-conference selection last season after converting on 13-of-16 field goal attempts. Pate’s .813 field goal percentage and teamleading 7.3 points per-game also helped earn the former walk-on first-team all-state honors. The Fredericksburg, Va., native also converted all 41 of his extra-point attempts and improved his kickoff average from 49.5 yards in 2007 to 56.8 yards in 2008. A remarkably accurate kicker, Pate has worked extremely hard to improve his range during the off-season and figures to once again challenge for elite status in the league. With 22 career field goals to his credit, Pate currently is tied for seventh all-time at the College. Another key weapon for the Tribe this fall will be junior punter David Miller, a third-team all-league selection last season. Miller ranked second in the conference and 16th nationally with a 41.5-yard average and pinned opponents inside their 20-yard line 12 times. Working within a new punt 28
formation, Miller excelled and showed better than a six yard per kick improvement over his ’07 numbers (35.1 yds/att). Coming off a strong spring showing, Miller will look to post even better numbers this fall and again challenge for all-league honors. Both Pate and Miller have the added luxury of working with familiar snappers, as senior C.J. Muse returns for his third season of short snapping duties, while junior Chase Hill also comes back to handle the long snapping chores. Further solidifying the team’s field goal unit is holder R.J. Archer who has been extremely consistent during each of the previous three seasons. Jonathan Grimes returns as a first-team all-league return specialist and will handle kickoff return duties once again this season after averaging a conference-leading 24.5-yards per return last year. Grimes’ explosive speed and quickness make him perfectly suited for the chore, as his ability to affect starting field position paid large dividends for the Tribe attack in 2008. With the graduation of third round NFL Draft selection Derek Cox, multiple players will get an opportunity to take hold of the punt-returning job this season. Both senior David Caldwell and sophomore Terrell Wells have returning experience and are considered two of the better athletes on the team, while freshman B.W. Webb also impressed the coaching staff during spring camp.

CAA FOOTBALL CONFERENCE
OPPONENTS
CAA Football fans thought the league’s opening season in 2007 was spectacular in terms of success. Little did they know 2008 would build off the previous season’s success, and include the league’s fourth National Championship. In 2008 as many as six teams ranked among the national Top-25 during the season, while both James Madison and Richmond had a strangle-hold on the No. 1 spot over the last 11 weeks of the season. CAA Football upped its record of national player of the week honorees by earning 19 last season, compared to 15 accolades in 2007. All of the regular season success carried over into the postseason when, once again, CAA Football equalled its own record by placing five squads in the NCAA Division I Football Championships. Prior to the 2007 season no conference had earned more than four berths in one season, and CAA Football has now done it twice in two seasons. The CAA Football dominance in the regular season carried over into the postseason as four of its five playoff squads advanced to the quarterfinal round. Both James Madison and Richmond moved on to the final four, marking the ninth time in 12 years a CAA Football squad has competed in the semifinals. Richmond logged a come-from-behind win over Northern Iowa in the semifinals, giving the league its fifth National Final berth in six seasons. The Spiders then went on to dominate Montana in the Championship game, 24-7, to earn the league’s first NCAA crown under the CAA Football banner. Richmond’s National Championship was also the league’s fourth in 10 years and third over the last six seasons. Following the season, the league boasted six Top-25 teams, four Top-10 squads and notched a total of 78 All-America honors. 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 eight seasons and at least one team has advanced to the national semifinals in nine of the last 12 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, CAA Football Media Contact the conference has accumulated numerous Scott Meyer individual accolades. Santos (2006), William & Mary quarterback Lang Campbell O: (804) 754-1616 (x20) (2004), Villanova running back Brian WestC: (804) 922-7236 brook (2001), Villanova wide receiver Brian E-mail: smeyer@caasports.com Finneran (1997), New Hampshire running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1988) all have won the prestigious Walter Payton Award under the league banner. James Madison linebacker Derrick Lloyd received the Buck Buchanan Award in 2001. New Hampshire’s Sean McDonnell (2005), James Madison’s Mickey Matthews (1999 & 2008), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) have earned the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. Richmond’s Mike London (2008), Matthews (2004), Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) and Talley (1997) have garnered the American Football Coaches Association National Coach of the Year honor. 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 and Mary. While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years. On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993. The Atlantic 10 assumed operation control of the conference from 1997-2006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004. Since 1978, CAA Football members have accumulated 67 playoff berths, 19 Lambert Cups, 88 final top 25 rankings and 44 final top 10 rankings.

HEAD COACH JIMMYE LAYCOCK COACHES
HEAD COACH
JIMMYE LAYCOCK Success on the Field
One of the most successful head coaches in college football history, Jimmye Laycock is the sixth-winningest active coach in the FCS division. During his 29-year career, he has guided the Tribe to 189 victories, seven playoff berths, 19 winning seasons and an appearance in the 2004 national semifinal game. In addition to his teams’ success, 23 players have gone on to sign with NFL teams, including four-time Pro Bowl selection Darren Sharper. 42
Excellence in the Classroom
In addition to being the program’s all-time winningest coach, Laycock has never compromised academic standards for athletic success. Since the NCAA began its academic reform with graduation rates surveys and APR rankings in 2004, the Tribe football program has posted a 100 percent graduation rate three times. Additionally, Laycock has produced 11 Academic All-Americans and 59 academic all-conference selections.
WWW.TRIBEATHLETICS.COM
A Pro’s Perspective
“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.” Joe Gibbs Former Washington Redskins Head Coach
1970-76
COACHES
After serving as an offensive coach at Newport News High School, Laycock began his collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant at Clemson in 1971. He later served as an assistant for legendary head coach Bobby Ross at the Citadel before becoming the quarterback’s coach at Memphis State for two seasons.
HEAD COACH JIMMYE LAYCOCK
1977-79 1966-69
Jimmye Laycock plays for legendary head coaches Marv Levy and Lou Holtz at William and Mary. After starting in the defensive secondary as a sophomore, the Hamilton, Va., native later finished his playing career at quarterback.
Laycock serves as the offensive coordinator at Clemson for three seasons. With his guidance, the Tigers went 278-1 with three bowl game appearances, including a 17-15 win against Ohio State in the 1978 Gator Bowl. Among his players was All-Pro Dwight Clark.
1980
Laycock returns to his alma mater as head coach where he would become the program’s all-time winningest coach.
1986
Laycock leads the Tribe to a FCS playoff berth for the first time in the program’s history. Under his guidance, W&M posts a 9-3 record and earns a national ranking of eighth at the conclusion of the season. Additionally, the College has three players selected in the NFL Draft.
1990
Laycock leads the Tribe to its first-ever 10-win season and is ranked No. 7 in the final national rankings. W&M leads the country in total offense, averaging almost 500 yards per game.

2004
The Tribe establishes a school-record 11 victories and advances to the FCS National Semifinals, which is played before a sold-out Zable Stadium crowd and in front of a nationally-televised audience. W&M finishes the year ranked No. 3 in the country country, while quarterback Lang Campbell earns the Payton Award, given annually to the nation’s top offensive player in the FCS.

HEAD COACH JIMMYE LAYCOCK COACHES
Few schools feature a better match at the helm of its program than the College of William and Mary has with Jimmye Laycock. In a tenure that now reaches its third decade, Laycock has worked hand-in-hand with the College’s world-class academic tradition and fashioned a program that is a point of pride for the campus, alumni and community. Laycock is one of the nation’s longest tenured and most respected head coaches. He has authored a school-record 189 wins (against 138 losses and two ties) and 19 winning ledgers since first taking over the program in 1980. The Tribe has also appeared in nine postseason contests with Laycock at the helm. On June 21, 2008, the College dedicated the $11 million Jimmye Laycock Football Center with a ceremony that featured more than 500 friends and alumni of the program. While the building carries his name and stands as a strong symbol of what Laycock has meant to the Tribe, it makes a stronger statement about the school’s commitment to football and the program’s proud tradition. The state-of-the-art center provides the College with one of the finest facilities in the Football Championship Series and, paired with Laycock’s steady leadership, gives the Tribe the necessary resources to compete at the highest level. As the architect of what is easily the most extended run of success in William and Mary’s 114-year football history, Laycock has never compromised
44
academic standards for athletic success, as his program earned recognition from the NCAA in each of the first five seasons the organization has awarded outstanding academic achievement. When Laycock, a 1970 grad, 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 interest and support for his program. Evidence of this is provided in the fact the Tribe averaged more than 10,000 fans per game over the last 11 home dates. 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 76. Laycock has made the home turf in Zable Stadium into unfriendly territory for opponents as the Tribe has won 74.0 percent of its games (101-42-1) in Williamsburg in the last 25 years. W&M has turned in seven undefeated regular season home campaigns. Individual accomplishments under Laycock have been plentiful, as he has also tutored 32 players to 79 All-America honors from the William and Mary ranks and has coached 11 Academic All-Americans. Former 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 146 all-conference selections since 1993. While no one season can define a career that spans three decades, Laycock’s 2004 season, his 25th at the school, 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 scholarship 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 175-86-2 (.668) record against fellow Championship Division foes during Laycock’s career also confirms the success of his formula. The College also boasts a 76-54 mark in league play. 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 84 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

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 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’s 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 I-AA 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 overall record in 1988. That memorable season climaxed with a trip to Japan and a 73-3 victory over the Japanese College All-

fifth-place national ranking. One trademark of a Laycock-coached team is a prolific and intricate offensive attack. The Tribe offense has averaged nearly 400 yards a game over Laycock’s 29 previous years in the program.

Laycock Era Highlights …
Laycock vs. The Nation
• Among active Division I (FBS and FCS) head coaches, Laycock’s 189 victories rank tied for 12th. The total also ranks inside the top 20 of active coaches in all divisions. Among only active FCS head coaches, Laycock’s total is tied for sixth. • Laycock ranks fourth on the all-time CAA Football career victories list with 76. Among active coaches, Laycock trails only Villanova’s Andy Talley (100).
• The Tribe has posted winning ledgers in 19 of the past 26 seasons under Laycock. • Laycock has guided the Tribe to a total of 55 career 40-plus point outings in his 329 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 all-conference honors in 11 of the 16 seasons, including seven-straight campaigns from 1998 to 2004. Going hand-in-hand with the postseason honors is the fact that in seven of the 15 seasons in league play, a Tribe quarterback has turned in the conference’s top passer efficiency rating. • The College has earned 146 total all-conference citations under Laycock. • The Tribe has posted a 101-42-1 record (.698) at Zable Stadium under Laycock, which includes seven undefeated regular seasons in Williamsburg. In Laycock’s 29 seasons, the College has failed to post a .500 or better record at home just four times (1980, 1999, 2006, 2007). • Since joining the CAA Football Conference, W&M has gone 112-66 (.629) against FCS opponents. • During Laycock’s 29-year tenure, 23 Tribe players have gone on to sign with NFL teams, including four-time Pro Bowl selection Darren Sharper. • Laycock has mentored 33 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 posted a 100 percent graduation rate three times (2004, 2006, 2007). • 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 59 players earn academic all-conference honors since 1997 under Laycock, including a career-high tying seven in 2007, and one conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year (Lang Campbell, 2004).

OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR ZBIG KEPA COACHES
Offensive Coordinator Wide Receivers 26th Season St. Joseph’s (Ind.), 1979
zbig
KEPA Coming into his 26th season on the Tribe sidelines, Zbig Kepa brings the College one of the nation’s most experienced and accomplished coordinators. 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 17-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 developed 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 26 seasons at W&M, Kepa has tutored 11 receivers to 13 all-conference citations, including four first-team honorees. Most recently, current wide out D.J. McAulay earned third-team honors in 2008. Musinski, who graduated as the school’s all-time leader in receiving yards (4,168), receptions (223) and touchdown catches (31), was a three-time first-team all-league pick from 2001 to 2003. Kepa grew up in northern Indiana and attended Bishop Noll Institute, where he lettered four years in football. After graduation in 1975, he accepted a football scholarship at St. Joseph’s College in Indiana. He led the
48
Pumas at quarterback and defensive back before a knee injury ended his playing career. He continued at St. Joseph’s as a student assistant coach and graduated in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education and health. Kepa stayed on the Pumas’ staff for the 1979 and 1980 seasons, while working on his master’s degree in health and physical education at Purdue. Kepa earned his master’s in 1981 and went onto become an assistant with the offense and defense at Fenwick High School in Chicago. In 1983, he returned to his undergraduate alma mater for one year as a full-time offensive assistant before joining W&M in 1984. He and his wife, the former Mary Cappuccilli from Indiana, have three children, Christina, Nathanial and Nicholas.

SHOOP
DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR BOB SHOOP
Under Bob Shoop’s steady and confident leadership, the College’s defense has undergone a remarkable transformation in his three short years on campus. A veteran of 21-years in the coaching ranks, Shoop has molded the young group he inherited for the 2007 season and organized them into what promises to be one of the league’s elite units entering the fall. After going through a run of four coordinators in the five years prior to his arrival, the Tribe was searching for stability in the position and turned to Shoop in February of 2007. An outstanding teacher and organizer, Shoop provides the program a proven track record of success and championship credentials. Shoop’s resumé spans 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, 2003-05). He is responsible for recruiting Western Pennsylvania and the Richmond area. While his first season at the reigns of the Tribe defense saw him list as many as 16 freshmen and sophomores on the two-deep, the experience the group gained turned to production in 2008. Shoop’s charges took major steps forward in every defensive category last fall, after surrendering nearly 400 yards of total offense (225.7 rushing/167.5 passing) in ‘07, last year’s group allowed just 326.8 yards per game (155.3 rushing/171.6 passing). Shoop’s most recent position prior to coming to the College was at the University of Massachusetts, where he worked with the Minutemen’s defensive backfield and helped the squad to an appearance in the NCAA Division I-AA Championship game in 2006. 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 File Years 1989 1990 1991-93 1994-96 1997 1998 1999-02 2003-05 2006 2007-

ASSISTANT HEAD COACH BOB SOLDERITCH COACHES
Assistant Head Coach Offensive Line 14th Season William and Mary Mary, 1986
bob
SOLDERITCH In his 14 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 dedication to the program, a private donor provided funding to have the staff room in the Laycock Football Center named in his honor. In addition to overseeing the Tribe’s offensive front, Solderitch acts as the program’s liaison in a wide-ranging list of administrative duties, such as compliance and summer camp director, to name a few. Solderitch recruits the Tidewater area for the Tribe, as well as North Carolina, the Atlanta area and handling transfer students. In his first season as a full-time assistant (1996), 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 15 players earn 19 all-conference awards on his watch, including 2006 team captain Cody Morris who graduated as a threetime 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. In 2007, another team captain, tackle Brad Stewart, was named to third-team honors. After a brief stint in pursuing a professional playing career with the Indianapolis Colts (in 1985), 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 MBA from the College, 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) under then head coach Bill Stewart. His offensive lines paved the way for standout Keydet tailback Thomas Haskins, who would graduate as the NCAA’s all-time leading rusher among the Football Championship Series ranks. 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 File Years School Assignment 1986-90 William and Mary . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

He brings the staff a wealth of perspective and playing experience, being a 2002 graduate of the College and the school’s all-time leading passer. Corley’s primary recruiting areas are Charlottesville and Richmond in Virginia and the southeast, including Georgia and South Carolina. Much like his playing career, Corley has proven to be a quick study, as he groomed true freshman Jonathan Grimes into one of the most decorated athletes in the history of the conference. Grimes set the Tribe’s freshman records for both rushing and all-purpose yards and was named as a honorable mention All-American as a return specialist. Grimes also earned All-CAA honors as a tailback and kick returner. Corley returns to the College where he excelled as a four-year starter and multiple-time all-conference QB from 1999 through 2002. He wrote his name in nearly every significant passing record for the school, including graduating as the Tribe’s all-time leader in passing yards (9,805), total offense (10,948) and touchdown passes (73). He remains one of only two quarterbacks (the other being Stan Yagiello, 1981-85) to be a four-year starter during the Laycock era. Corley began his playing career by earning the league’s Rookie of the Year honors after the 1999 season, where he started the final eight games of the Tribe’s schedule. He twice led the league in passing efficiency (1999 and 2002) and earned postseason honors in each of his final four years on campus. Corley played an important role in helping lead the team to a conference title in 2001 and was selected as the squad’s captain for the 2002 season. The native of Columbia, S.C., was named as the College’s Outstanding Senior Athlete for the 2002-03 school year and was a two-time runner up for the prestigious Dudley Award, presented annually to the outstanding collegiate player in the state of Virginia. Corley is able to draw on a wide-range of playing experience he gathered in professional playing stints in the Canadian Football League with the Hamilton Tiger Cats (2003) and Calgary Stampeders (2006). He also was as a member of the Arena Football League’s New York Dragons (2005). Corley met his wife, Brianne, while playing professional football in the Canadian Football League.

RALEIGH, N.C. (9/6/08) -- William and Mary outscored North Carolina State, 24-20, in the second half but fell to the Wolfpack in its season opener, 34-24. Junior wide receiver D.J. McAulay led the Tribe with a pair of touchdown grabs and finished the evening with a game-high six catches for 99 yards, while senior all-conference cornerback Derek Cox also provided a score with a 45-yard interception return for a touchdown. As a unit, the Tribe defense limited N.C. State to just 67 yards on the ground and held the Wolfpack to just 11 first downs. A interception by senior safety David Houff on the game’s initial series put the Tribe inside NCSU’s 20 yard line, but W&M was unable to put any points up when freshman running back Jonathan Grimes lost a fumble. Although the College trailed 14-0 at the half, W&M outgained NCSU in total yards, 103-79, and controlled the time of possession by more than three minutes. Additionally, the Tribe defense surrendered just three first downs, all of which occurred on the Wolfpack’s final possession of the half. The Tribe put up its first points of the game on the initial series of the second half when junior Brian Pate connected on a 43-yard field goal. Senior quarterback Jake Phillips completed 3-of-4 passes on the drive and had a pair of rushes for 14 yards to help set up the score. Following a NCSU touchdown, W&M answered with a six-play, 77-yard drive that culminated in a 30-yard touchdown strike from Jake Phillips to McAulay. While NCSU extended its lead to 34-10, W&M scored a pair of touchdowns late in the fourth quarter as Derek Cox returned an interception 45 yards for a score and backup quarterback R.J.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (9/20/08) -- Senior all-conference quarterback Jake Phillips threw four touchdown passes and the William and Mary defensive unit forced five turnovers to power the Tribe to a 42-12 victory against Norfolk State on Sept. 20 in front of 10,152 fans at Zable Stadium. True freshman running back Jonathan Grimes scored a pair of touchdowns for the second consecutive week, rushing for one and collecting a reception for the other score. Junior wide out D.J. McAulay hauled in two touchdown receptions and finished the contest with three catches for a game-high 80 yards. Senior returning all-conference wide receiver Elliott Mack also had a touchdown reception and registered four catches for 63 yards. In addition to causing five turnovers, the College’s defensive unit limited the Spartans to just 219 total yards (3.1 yards per play), including just 97 through the air. Additionally, W&M held NSU to just 11 first downs and allowed just three third-down conversions on 18 attempts. After forcing the Spartans to a three-and-out on the contest’s opening possession, the Tribe marched 74 yards on six plays for a touchdown to take an early 7-0 lead.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (10/4/08) -- William and Mary and No. 14/16 Villanova combined for 66 points and 824 yards of total offense, but the Tribe fell to the Wildcats, 38-28, in its conference opener. Making his first career start, junior quarterback R.J. Archer stepped in for an injured Jake Phillips and threw for 307 yards and a touchdown. He also recorded a pair of touchdown runs. True freshman tailback Jonathan Grimes was outstanding yet again, as he accounted for a school-true freshman record 324 total yards, including 105 receiving yards and 161 returns yards. The featured part of Grimes’ afternoon was his 97-yard kick return for a score near the end of the first half. After Villanova raced out to a 35-0 lead late in the first half, Grimes’ big return with less than a minute left in the second quarter made the score 35-7 at the break. After forcing VU to a three-and-out on the first possession of the second half, W&M answered with a 75-yard touchdown drive that lasted just three plays and 41 seconds. The drive culminated in a 44-yard touchdown pass from Archer to senior Elliott Mack. Neither team scored during the remainder of the third quarter, but the Tribe found the end zone again early in the fourth quarter when Archer capped a slick eight-play, 52-yard march with a three-yard touchdown run. While VU added a field goal midway through the fourth quarter to increase its lead to 38-21, W&M responded with another touchdown run by Archer with 4:20 remaining in the contest. After forcing Villanova to punt on its next possession, the Tribe took over on its own 34 yard line with 2:00 remaining. However, Archer’s only interception of the contest ended the College’s comeback bid. 1 7 0

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (10/11/08) -- William and Mary scored on its first five possessions of the second half (four touchdowns/one field goal), and senior quarterback Jake Phillips’ 17-yard go-ahead touchdown pass to junior wide receiver D.J. McAulay with 22 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter helped lift the Tribe to a 38-34 victory at No. 4 New Hampshire in the Wildcats’ homecoming game. Phillips registered four touchdown passes and completed 30 of his 40 attempts for 310 yards, while true freshman running back Jonathan Grimes finished with a true-freshman record 144 yards rushing (on 23 attempts) and a touchdown (coming on a 56-yard run). Trailing 34-31 with 4:34 remaining, the Tribe began its game-winning drive on its own 28 yard line. Phillips was intercepted on a third-and-long early in the drive, but W&M maintained possession when UNH was flagged for roughing the passer. Phillips then converted a pair of third-and-longs with completions to Grimes (10 yards) and Mack (13 yards) around midfield to keep the drive alive. Another 13-yard completion from Phillips to Mack put W&M inside the red zone, and the senior all-conference quarterback connected with McAulay from 17 yards out on the next play to put the Tribe ahead, 38-34, with 22 seconds left. UNH was unable to mount a quick comeback, as Adrian Tracy sacked quarterback R.J. Toman on first down, and Fred Johnson picked off the sophomore’s long pass on the next play. W&M outscored UNH 31-13 in the second half and dominated the time of possession, (20:44-8:16) after the break. The Tribe also converted on 8-of-10 third downs in the second half, including its only fourth down attempt, while registering 358 yards of total offense in the final two quarters.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (10/25/08) -- Junior safety David Caldwell returned a fourth-quarter interception 62 yards for a touchdown to help No. 23 William and Mary pull away for a 34-24 victory against Rhode Island on a rainy homecoming at Zable Stadium. True freshman tailback Jonathan Grimes posted another outstanding performance, rushing for a game-high 111 yards with a touchdown. While both teams scored touchdowns on their opening drives, neither squad was able to put any more points up on the board until late in the first half when URI’s Louis Feinstein kicked a 40-yard field goal with 1:39 remaining in the second quarter to put the Rams ahead, 10-7. At the break, the Rams had out gained the Tribe in total offense, 212-115, and controlled the time of possession, 20:05-9:15. W&M scored a pair of quick touchdowns during the first five minutes of the second half to build a 21-10 advantage. D.J. McAulay provided the first touchdown when Jake Phillips found him with an 18-yard strike, while Courtland Marriner scored the second touchdown with an 8-yard run. After recovering a punt that bounced off the back of an retreating W&M player, URI narrowed the score with an eight-play, 38-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Cassidy late in the third quarter. Trailing by just seven, 24-17, early in the fourth quarter, URI drove inside the Tribe 40-yard line, but safety David Caldwell intercepted a pass by Cassidy and raced 62 yards down the right sideline to give the College a 31-17 cushion with 10:12 left in the game. W&M later tacked on a field goal and URI scored a late touchdown to narrow the score to 34-24, but the Tribe recovered the Rams’ on-side kick attempt and ran out the clock.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (11/8/08) -- Senior cornerback Derek Cox scored touchdowns on a punt return and an interception return to help the No. 14/16 Tribe extend its winning streak to five games with a 38-17 victory against Northeastern. Cox’s initial touchdown came on an 89-yard punt return early in the first quarter to put W&M ahead, 7-0, while his second score came midway through the fourth quarter when he returned an interception 12 yards to give the Tribe its final touchdown of the evening. While the Tribe led 21-10 at the intermission, the Huskies had already run 50 plays and out-gained W&M in total offense, 278-169. NU also controlled the time of possession, 23:02-6:58. However, the College’s offense was very efficient, averaging 9.9 yards per play. The Tribe defensive unit dominated the second half and held the Huskies to just 79 yards of total offense after the break. While the Tribe took an early 7-0 lead on Cox’s electric punt return less than two minutes into the game, NU tied the score on its ensuing possession with a nine-play, 74-yard drive that ended with a 12-yard touchdown scamper by running back Alex Broomfield. W&M’s final two scores of the half came on a pair of 3-yard touchdown passes from Phillips to Jimmy Hobson and Chase Hill. The Tribe opened the second half with a touchdown for the third consecutive week when Phillips found the end zone with a 5-yard run to put W&M ahead, 28-10, with 10:59 showing on the clock. A 35-yard field goal by Brian Pate extended W&M’s lead to 31-10 late in the third quarter. While the Tribe defense limited the Huskies to just 34 yards of total offense in the third quarter, NU found the end zone with 13 seconds remaining in the stanza when Broomfield caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Anthony Orio. Cox’s 12-yard interception return for a score midway through the fourth quarter sealed the win.

2008 RESULTS
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (11/22/08) -- The No. 16/19 Tribe scored a pair of touchdowns in the final 3:02 to force overtime, but No. 6/7 Richmond’s Andrew Howard kicked a 37-yard, game-winning field goal in the first extra session to give the Spiders a 23-20 victory on Senior Day at Zable Stadium. Trailing 20-6 late in the fourth quarter, senior Derek Cox ignited the College’s comeback when he returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown with 3:02 remaining in the contest. W&M’s RJ Archer then skied to recover the ensuing onside kick, putting the Tribe in business at its own 41-yard line. The squad then marched 59 yards in 10 plays to tie the score when senior quarterback Jake Phillips found the end zone on a sneak from a yard out with 18 seconds on the clock. The College took the ball first in overtime and had its 39-yard field attempt blocked by Sherman Logan. Howard finished what was a five-yard Spider drive in its half of the extra session and spun his game-winning try from the right hash from 37 yards out. Despite turning the ball over seven times, W&M kept the score close with an outstanding defensive effort that saw the unit hold the Spiders scoreless over the final 30 minutes of play, allowing just 35 yards of total offense and two first downs. UR took a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter when offensive lineman Michael Silva recovered a fumble by quarterback Eric Ward in the end zone. UR increased its advantage to 10-0 with a 33-yard field goal by Howard with 7:01 left in second quarter. The successful kick capped off an 11-play, 50-yard drive that lasted 6:26. The Spiders’ Derek Hatcher later returned an interception 35 yards for a score, while an 18-yard field goal by Hatcher as the second quarter clock expired put the Spiders ahead, 20-0, at halftime. A pair of field goals by Pate cut the lead to 20-6 with 11:13 left in the contest, and the Tribe held Richmond to just 12 yards of total offense during the remainder of regulation en route to mounting the comeback.

W&M’s 1967 victory over Navy ranks as one of the biggest upsets in college football history. Most people didn’t give the Tribe a chance. Only Andrew Beyer, in the Washington Post, cautioned that an upset was possible, because of William and Mary’s passing game. Few took such warnings seriously. The odds makers made it a 20-point spread at game time. How big an upset was it? 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.

PAYTON AWARD WINNER LANG CAMPBELL HISTORY
2004 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, Va., native led William & 108
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.

lina, 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. Campbell received 40 first-place votes and 315 points from the panel of 94 I-AA sports information directors and selected media. Following Campbell in the voting were Sam Houston State quarterback Dustin Long, who earned 17 firstplace votes and 185 total points, and Appalachian State wide receiver DaVon Fowlkes, who had eight first-place votes and 151 total points.

HISTORY
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 65.5 percent of his attempts (298 of 455), Campbell had the third-best single-season completion percentage in school history. In fact, he ended his career by completing better than 50 percent of his attempts in all but one of his 24 career starts. For his career, Campbell registered 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 Caro-

HONORS AND AWARDS HISTORY
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 Illustrated’s 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 College’s Board of Visitors approved the naming of the on-campus football stadium as Walter J. Zable Stadium at Cary Field.
Bob Herb (’(’’71) 71) was a three-t three-time ime AllSouthern Conference pick and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy in 1970.

TRIBE IN THE PROS HISTORY
DARREN SHARPER FOUR-TIME ALL-PRO SELECTION
TRIBE IN THE PROS W&M has been producing professional football players since 1923, when Isham Hardy began his fouryear pro career with the Akron Pros. Through 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. As recently as 2005, six former Tribe players appeared on NFL rosters, including 1997 graduate Darren Sharper. A second-round selection by the Green Bay Packers in the 1997 draft, Sharper has gone on to earn four Pro Bowl appearances. This past spring, cornerback Derek Cox was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the third round with the 73rd overall pick. A four-year starter at W&M, Cox became the second-highest selection in school history, behind only Sharper.

WALK-ON HALL OF FAME HISTORY
SEAN MCDERMOTT DEFENSIVE BACK, 1998
TRIBE WALK-ON HALL OF FAME In athletics, players develop at various 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 116
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, 2007 All-American Drew Atchison 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 of William and Mary is a public university located in Williamsburg, Va. Founded in 1693 by Royal Charter issued by King William III and Queen Mary II of England, William and Mary is the second oldest college in the country after Harvard. William and Mary has a long history of liberal arts education and a growing research and science curriculum that demonstrates a strong commitment to undergraduate research. The College, which became a state university in 1906, has been designated a “Public Ivy,” and for nine straight years has been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the sixth-best public university in the country – and the nation’s top small public university. Also referred to as “the alma mater of a nation,” the College has educated four U.S. Presidents – George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and John Tyler, which is the third most of any college in the country. William and Mary also claims several firsts, including the 1776 creation of Phi Beta Kappa – the country’s first academic honor society – the first honor code of conduct for college students, and the first collegiate law school, established in 1779. William and Mary is also home to the Sir Christopher Wren Building – the country’s oldest academic building still in use – and the President’s House, the oldest home of a university president still in use.

The College of William and Mary sponsors 23 varsity sports and provides students with a unique and successful balance of athletics and academics. The Tribe Athletics Department ranked 99th nationally (as of May 28) in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup Standings for 2008-09, a number that ranked second among Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) programs and fourth in the state of Virginia.

W&M has placed among the top 100 nationally in 12 of the program’s 16 years, while leading the CAA on seven occasions. W&M has produced more CAA Championships than any program in the league’s history. The College owns 95 league crowns, nearly 40 more than its closest competitor. The Tribe raked in the awards in 2008-09 as well, tallying a combined 197 all-conference honors, 34 All-America honors and six league players of the year. During the 2008-09 season, the Green and Gold produced an overall athletics winning percentage of 69.0, while racking up a combined 888 wins. Along with its accomplishments on the field of play, the Tribe is just as successful in the classroom, epitomizing the term student-athlete. In the NCAA’s inaugural Academic Progress Report in 2005, W&M ranked fourth among Division I teams, which was the highest of any athletic scholarshipgranting school and of any public school. Since the inception of the CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year, W&M has produced 28 honorees, more than any school in the conference.

SANDRA DAY
O’Connor Chancellor
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 edi-
tor 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 years since her investiture, she has visited the College numerous times, visiting classes, talking with students, and addressing 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.

between the President and Congress. In 1972-73, he spent 13 months studying the war powers while an International Affairs Fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City and a Fellow of the Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. He is the author of War Powers of the President and Congress: Who Holds the Arrows and Olive Branch? (University of Virginia Press, 1981). Before joining William & Mary, Reveley practiced law for many years at Hunton & Williams, where he specialized in energy matters, especially those involving commercial nuclear power.

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR TERRY DRISCOLL THE COLLEGE 152
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 broad-based programs. As Driscoll enters his 14th 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 well-rounded student-athletes. Driscoll oversees a program that is committed 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 six years, the Tribe’s program has combined for a total of 26 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) titles. This past season, W&M claimed three CAA titles (Men’s and Women’s Cross Country and Women’s Track & Field). In 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 institution in the CAA can claim more all-time league championships than the 95 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 posted a 100 percent graduation rate three times, 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 Scholar-Athletes of the Year for each of the 22 sports it sponsors, and the College has had a conference-high 29 individuals receive the honor. In addition to 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). Recently, the College dedicated an $11 million, 30,000 square-foot Jimmye Laycock Football Center at Zable Stadium in the summer of 2008. During the last four years, the venerable stadium has been enhanced with an $800,000-plus video scoreboard (2007), 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). This past summer, new synthetic turf with water cannons were installed at Busch Field, the home of the William and Mary Field Hockey program. In addition to the physical structures, Driscoll has also worked with the Associate Athletics Director for Development, Bobby Dwyer, to increase the annual fund-raising 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 venue 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 organize 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.

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 more than 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 24 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.
