THE PRESIDENT

Katherine A. Rowe President

On February 20, 2018, William & Mary’s Board of Visitors unanimously elected Katherine A. Rowe as the 28th president of the university. Nationally recognized as an innovator in higher education, Rowe is a champion for the importance of the liberal arts, entrepreneurship, and strengthening educationworkforce pathways. She began on July 1, 2018 and was inaugurated on February 8, 2019. On November 19, 2021, the Board was unanimous in its election of an early extension of President Rowe’s contract, through June 2028.

Under Rowe’s leadership, William & Mary has advanced a wholeinstitution approach to learning. The cross-university initiatives she has cultivated include a central Entrepreneurship Hub, a Studio for Teaching & Learning Innovation, W&M’s first Sustainability Plan and Climate Action Roadmap, realization of William & Mary’s longplanned Memorial to the Enslaved, a Veteran to Executive Transition program, an Institute for Integrative Conservation, and a university-wide approach to diversity and inclusion. William & Mary successfully closed its For the Bold campaign in June 2020, raising just over $1 billion.

Rowe oversaw the creation of William & Mary’s ambitious strategic plan, Vision 2026, via an inclusive, multi-year planning process. During the first phase of planning, the university community came together to craft William & Mary’s first-ever statement of shared values.

As president, Rowe led William & Mary’s effective COVID-19 response, joining forces with

the City of Williamsburg and other key local partners to keep the Tidewater region as safe as possible. Following the disruption of the 2020 spring semester, Rowe stood up the Path Forward planning initiative to reconvene campus. In the 2020-21 academic year William & Mary continued in-person learning, uninterrupted – flexibly adapting every university practice and system to ensure that students could maintain momentum to their degrees. Key crossinstitutional efforts were launched during the pandemic: leading to enhanced career development for students, a unified approach to Communications and Marketing, and a whole-university Council for Community Partnerships.

Rowe serves on the Northern Virginia Technology Council, the Virginia Business and Higher Education Council Board, RVA757 Connects, and the GoVA Region 5 Council. Rowe was named to the Virginia Business Virginia 500 Power List in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, Diverse: Issues in Higher Education named Rowe one of the top 35 women in higher education.

Previously, Rowe served as provost and dean of faculty at Smith College in Massachusetts. During her tenure, Smith launched a design thinking curriculum, greatly increased diversity in faculty hiring and established one of the first statistical and data sciences majors at a liberal arts college (and the first at a women’s college). Rowe also served as Smith’s interim vice president for inclusion, diversity and equity.

Earlier in her career, Rowe cofounded and served for several years as the CEO of Luminary Digital Media, which developed a series of educational apps enhancing student engagement and learning of classic Shakespearean texts.

Rowe earned a bachelor’s degree in English and American literature from Carleton College and a master’s and a Ph.D. in English and American literature from Harvard. She has completed graduate work in Cinema and Media Studies at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Her areas of research and scholarship include Shakespeare, Milton, Renaissance drama and media history.

An award-winning teacher, Rowe

spent 16 years at Bryn Mawr College as an English professor, department chair and director of the Katharine Houghton Hepburn Center for leadership and public engagement. She began her teaching career as an assistant professor of English at Yale. Prior to arriving at William & Mary she held the Sophia Smith chair at Smith College.

Rowe has published three books: New Wave Shakespeare on Screen with Thomas Cartelli (Polity Press, 2007), Reading the Early Modern Passions: Essays in the Cultural History of Emotion as co-editor (Penn Press, 2004) and Dead Hands: Fictions of Agency, Renaissance to Modern (Stanford, 2000). She also has editing credits in the Cambridge Guide to the Worlds of Shakespeare. With more than 350 scholarly contributors from five continents, this world-standard, multi-volume, reference work was honored in 2016 by the American Association of Publishers with two PROSE awards, considered the most prestigious in the publishing industry. This international collaboration was also recognized in 2016 by the Library Journal for outstanding print reference work for the Cambridge Guide as well as the American Library Association’s outstanding academic title.

Dr. Rowe is a past president of the Shakespeare Association of America. She served on Harvard’s Board of Overseers’ Visiting Committee of the Library and the Executive Committee of the American Council of Learned Societies. She has held various scholarly memberships as well as service positions in the Modern Language Association and the American Council of Learned Societies.

Rowe spent more than a decade coaching Ultimate Frisbee and has led multiple teams to state championships in Pennsylvania. She was a World Ultimate Club Finalist and a Women’s Nationals Finalist. She co-founded the nonprofit Boston Ultimate Disc Alliance and the Carleton College women’s Ultimate team.

Rowe shares her love of Ultimate with her spouse, Bruce Jacobson, William & Mary’s First Gentleman. They have two adult children, Daniel and Beah.

Robert M. Gates ‘65, L.H.D. ‘98 Chancellor

Robert M. Gates ‘65, L.H.D. ‘98, was named twenty-fourth Chancellor of William & Mary by the Board of Visitors at his investiture on February 3, 2012. He succeeded Sandra Day O’Connor, former Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, who was appointed in 2005. He was re-invested for a second term on February 8, 2019.

Chancellor Gates is the first alumnus to hold this ceremonial position in William & Mary’s modern era. As U.S. Secretary of Defense from 2006 to 2011, he became the only person in American history to serve under presidents from different political parties. In his words, William & Mary instilled in him “a calling to serve—a sense of duty to community and country that this college has sought to instill in each generation of students for more than 300 years.”

Chancellor Gates began a career in public service soon after his graduation from William & Mary. In 1966, he joined the Central Intelligence Agency, working for six presidents during nearly 27 years as an intelligence officer. During this period, he was a National Security Council staff member for nine years. Gates is the only career officer in the CIA’s history to rise from being an entry-level employee to become the agency’s director, a post he held from 1991 to 1993. He was Deputy Director of the CIA from 1986 until 1989 and Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Adviser at the White House for President George H. W. Bush from January 1989 until November 1991. On December 18, 2006, Gates took office as the nation’s 22nd Secretary of Defense under President George

W. Bush. When inaugurated in January 2009, President Barack Obama asked Gates to continue in office.

In June 2011, Gates retired as Secretary of Defense. At the farewell ceremony, President Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor. He has also received the National Security Medal and the Presidential Citizens Medal. Gates was awarded the National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal twice and the Distinguished Intelligence Medal, the CIA’s highest award, three times.

Gates has authored four books to include his memoirs and a guide to leadership and institutional reform. His most recent book, Exercise of Power, details non-military instruments of power and their incorporation into US foreign policy.

A history major at William & Mary, Gates was an active member of Alpha Phi Omega, a service organization that he led as a senior. Gates was also a dormitory manager and orientation aide as well as the business manager of the William & Mary Review, a literary and art magazine. At graduation, he received the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award, given to honor splendid characteristics of heart, mind and helpfulness to others.

Chancellor Gates’ ties to his alma mater run deep. He has been a trustee of the William & Mary Foundation Board and spoke at Charter Day in 1998 and again in 2013 as well as at Commencement in 2007. He received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the university in 1998 and the Alumni Medallion, the Alumni Association’s highest honor, in 2000.

A native of Kansas, Gates earned his master’s degree in history from Indiana University and a doctorate in Russian and Soviet history from Georgetown University. From 2002 until 2006, he was president of Texas A&M University. Gates is a distinguished Eagle Scout and served as the Boy Scouts of America national president from 2014-2016. Gates joined the Board of Governors of the NCAA in 2020 as one of its five independent members. In the fall of 2021, he chaired the institution’s Constitution Committee, delivering a new constitution to reshape collegiate athletics. Gates and his wife, Becky, live in Washington state.

The impact of a student-ath lete’s experience is intensely personal, said Mann. “While my parents weren’t able to secure their degrees, they instilled in their five children the impor tance of higher education. I know how difficult it is to earn a college degree, especially at an institution with the rigorous standards of a Public Ivy. Be ing a former student-athlete, I also understand the commit ment, discipline and hard work the Tribe’s student-athletes demonstrate every day.”

Tremendously successful and widely respected, Mike London en ters his fourth year as head coach of the William & Mary football pro gram.

Under London’s leadership, W&M continued its upward trajec tory during the 2021 campaign as it posted the program’s most wins since 2015 and garnered a national ranking in multiple weeks. Highlight ing the notable victories was a 31-18 road win at No. 4 Villanova. W&M fin ished the year with the CAA’s most productive rushing offense and the nation’s 12th-ranked rushing de fense.

In addition to the success on the field, London’s squad distinguished itself in the classroom as 33 players were recognized on the CAA Foot ball Commissioner’s Academic Hon or Roll for the fall semester.

Although the COVID-19 global pandemic limited London’s second season with the Tribe to a threegame slate during the spring, he successfully guided the program through the challenges. A pair of standouts – left tackle Andrew Trainer and defensive end Will Kiely – both earned all-conference honors.

London’s first season leading the Tribe provided a glimpse of the pro gram’s bright future, as the squad concluded the 2019 campaign with wins in three of its final four games – including a Capital Cup victory at long-time rival Richmond in the sea son finale. In addition to helping five W&M standouts earn all-conference honors, defensive tackle Bill Murray garnered All-America distinction and signed a free agent contract with the New England Patriots. Addi tionally, four members of the squad earned Freshman All-America hon ors.

His in augural campaign at HU featured a season-opening win at UNLV, which ESPN lauded as one of college foot ball’s greatest upsets.

In addition to garnering ACC Coach of the Year honors at UVA in 2011, London led the Cavaliers to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. En route to earning the postseason bowl bid, he guided UVA to road wins at Miami and Florida State – becoming the first program in the nation to accom plish the feat in the same season.

London gained his first head coaching experience at Richmond, his alma mater, where he amassed a 24-5 record and guided the Spiders to the 2008 FCS national title during his initial campaign. His efforts were recognized by the AFCA, which selected him as the FCS National Coach of the Year. After leading the Spiders to an 8-0 start the following season, UR became just the third FCS school to receive a vote in the Associated Press (AP) Poll.

London landed the head coach ing job at UR after an exceptional two-year stint as UVA’s defensive coordinator (2006-07). During his first season, the Cavaliers allowed just 289.5 yards per game – the pro gram’s best figure in 27 years Lon don oversaw the development of an outstanding group of All-ACC hon orees, highlighted by 2007 unan imous All-America standout Chris Long, who was the second overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

London, a native of Hampton, Va., began his coaching career as the outside linebackers coach at Richmond in 1988 before coaching the defensive line at William & Mary under Jimmye Laycock (1991-94).

Vincent Brown Assoc. HC; Def. Coord. • LB 4th Season

Vincent Brown is in his fourth season as the Tribe’s associate head coach/defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.

Brown’s defensive unit established itself among the best in the Colonial Athletic Association last season as it ranked among the nation’s top 20 in defensive touchdowns (11th), rushing defense (12th) and interceptions (18th). W&M’s 29 sacks were just two shy of ranking among the program’s top-10 list, while it ranked third in the CAA in forced turnovers and pass efficiency defense.

In addition to the team’s success, three Tribe standouts earned allconference honors last season. Defensive end Nate Lynn highlighted the talented group, as he earned multiple All-America accolades and was selected as a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award, which honors the nation’s top FCS defensive player.

Brown, a former All-Pro linebacker for the New England Patriots, took over the Tribe’s defense in 2019 after stints as a coordinator at Howard University and UConn.

Christian Taylor

Offensive Coordinator • RB 3rd Season

Christian Taylor is in his third season as the Tribe’s offensive coordinator and running backs coach.

W&M’s offense, and rushing attack in particular, flourished under Taylor’s tutelage last season as it led the Colonial Athletic Association and ranked 12th nationally with 205.3 rushing yards per game. Additionally, the Tribe led the conference in yards per carry (5.0) – nearly equaling the school record (5.1) set in 1990 – and ranked second in the league with 19 rushing touchdowns.

The team’s success translated to numerous postseason accolades, as four members of the offensive unit garnered all-conference honors. Highlighting the standouts were AllAmerican left tackle Andrew Trainer, who signed a free agent with the Los Angeles Chargers, and quarterback Darius Wilson, who was selected as the CAA Offensive Rookie of the Year. Running back Bronson Yoder and right tackle Colby Sorsdal also earned All-CAA distinction.

Taylor, who played quarterback at W&M from 2002-06 and was an assistant coach on the Tribe’s staff for two seasons (2008-09), returned to Williamsburg with impressive credentials that includes being selected as a finalist as the 2018 FCS Coordinator of the Year.

That success led to numerous individual accolades for his players, as he produced a pair of Walter Payton Award finalists at quarterback – Anthony Lawrence and Reid Sinnett – and another at wide receiver, Michael Bandy. One of the nation’s elite Division I quarterbacks, Sinnett received contract offers from multiple NFL teams before signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.

Originally from Yorktown, Virginia, Taylor attended Grafton High School. He is married to Shay Timms and they have two sons, Anthony and Tyler. Shay earned her undergraduate degree (BBA ‘96) and Law degree (JD ‘99) from USD.

Matt Johns

Passing Game Coord. • QB 4th Season

Promoted to passing game coordinator during the spring, Matt Johns is in his fourth year as an assistant on William & Mary’s staff and his third coaching the quarterbacks after working with the inside wide receivers/tight ends in 2019.

Last season Johns was instrumental in the development of standout freshman quarterback Darius Wilson, who was selected as the CAA Offensive Rookie of the Year. One of the nation’s top freshman quarterbacks, Wilson broke W&M’s true freshman record for passing yards (1,205) and total yards (1,591).

Although the COVID-19 global pandemic limited the 2020 campaign to a three-game slate during the spring, Johns’ impact was evident in the team’s improved passing efficiency (133.1), which catapulted from 111.2 the previous year.

During Johns’ first year at W&M, his group contributed to the team’s dramatic improvement offensively in which it nearly double its scoring output and averaged nearly 100 more total yards per game from the previous season.

A former starting quarterback at the University of Virginia, Johns joined the Tribe’s staff after serving as a graduate assistant working with the Cavaliers’ defense in 2018.

En route to helping Virginia post an 8-5 record, which included a shutout victory against South Carolina in the Belk Bowl, UVA’s defense produced three All-Atlantic Coast Conference selections. Additionally, the Cavaliers ranked 11th nationally in interceptions (17), 16th in passing yards allowed per game (183.0) and 21st in scoring defense (20.1).

Prior to joining the Cavaliers’ staff, Johns served as the quarterbacks coach at Central Bucks South High School in 2017.

A four-year letterwinner at Virginia, Johns finished his career ranked 11th on the program’s career passing list (4,233) and sixth in passing touchdowns (30) and 200-yard passing games (11).

ASSISTANT COACHES

Mike London Jr. Video Coordinator • WR 4th Season

Mike London Jr. is in his fourth season at William & Mary as the wide receivers coach and his third as the video coordinator.

London mentored some of the Colonial Athletic Association’s most dynamic wideouts last season, as Zach Burdick (18.6) and Cole Blackman (16.4) both ranked among the league’s best in yards per catch.

London led a dynamic and productive group of wideouts during his initial season with the Tribe in 2019, as multiple members of the unit flourished under his leadership. True freshman Kane Everson highlighted the position group and earned Freshman All-America honors after setting true freshman single-season school records for catches (46) and receiving yards (585). Zach Burdick also posted a breakout season under London’s tutelage and ranked third in the conference and 16th nationally with 19.3 yards per catch.

In addition to the individual success, W&M’s receivers contributed to the team’s dramatic improvement offensively in which it nearly double its scoring output and averaged nearly 100 more total yards per game from the previous season.

London Jr. joined the Tribe’s staff after a tremendously successful 2018 season as Howard University’s wide receivers coach where he helped the Bison rank fourth nationally in yards per catch (17.27) and 16th in passing offense (278.0).

In addition to producing a pair of first-team All-MEAC wideouts, Jequez Ezzard ranked seventh nationally in receiving yards per game (106.4) and 11th in receiving touchdowns (12).

Prior to leading HU’s receiving corps, London Jr. coached at the prep level at Paramus Catholic High School (Paramus, N.J.) as the wide receivers coach and at AmherstPelham Regional (Amherst, Mass.) as the offensive coordinator.

During his successful tenure at the high school level, he coached 21 student-athletes who went on to compete collegiately at the Division I level.

Mario Acitelli Offensive Line Coach 1st Season

Mario Acitelli is in his first season as William & Mary’s offensive line coach after rejoining the Tribe’s staff in January.

An assistant on W&M’s staff from 2014-18, Acitelli returns to Williamsburg with tremendous coaching credentials that include stints at LSU, North Carolina and Texas.

In addition to his success as a coach, Acitelli’s exceptional playing career at Appalachian State was highlighted by a pair of FCS National Championships, All-America honors and earning the prestigious Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which is awarded to the Southern Conference’s top offensive lineman.

Acitelli rejoins the Tribe after coaching at LSU, Elon and North Carolina during the past three seasons. Most recently, he served as the lead offensive analyst at LSU, working primarily with the running backs.

Acitelli made a tremendous impact on W&M success during his five seasons in Williamsburg (2014-18) coaching the fullbacks and tight ends, as well as serving as the special teams coordinator for his final two years.

During his five seasons in Williamsburg, Acitelli’s position group consistently ranked among the best in the CAA, as five Tribe standouts combined to earn eight all-conference accolades during his tenure.

A four-year starter and team captain for the Mountaineers, Acitelli was a member of the 2006 and 2007 National Championship teams. Additionally, he won the 2009 Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which is awarded to the Southern Conference’s top offensive lineman, and played all 72 snaps in the team’s upset win at No. 5 Michigan in 2007.

Acitelli earned a bachelor of science degree in business administration from Appalachian State in 2010 and a master’s degree in advertising from Texas in 2013.

Acitelli is married to the former Sara Cline. The couple have two children, Leona and Graydon.

Jack Armstrong Recruiting Coordinator • TE 3rd Season

Jack Armstrong, a former team captain and wide receiver at William & Mary (2014-18), is in his third season as a full-time assistant and works with the tight ends. He was promoted to recruiting director and assistant camp director during the spring.

Prior to joining the staff in a fulltime role before the 2020 season, he served as an offensive analyst for the Tribe the previous year.

Last season Armstrong helped Lachlan Pitts develop into one of the Colonial Athletic Association’s top tight ends, as his three touchdown receptions were the most by a W&M tight end since Drew Atchison totaled six in 2007.

Although the COVID-19 global pandemic limited the 2020 campaign to a three-game slate during the spring, Armstrong was instrumental in the growth and production of his position group. Anthony Mague was indicative of that success, as he posted a breakout season and emerged as the squad’s second-leading receiver.

Armstrong’s first season on the staff in 2019 was an incredibly productive year for the Tribe. While W&M relied heavily on a talented true freshman class that included its starting quarterback, its leading receiver and three of its top four rushers, the offense nearly doubled its scoring output from the prior season – improving from 13.6 points/game in 2018 to 25.2 points/ game in 2019. Additionally, W&M’s total yardage per game catapulted by nearly 100 yards per contest.

Nowhere was the dramatic progress more evident than in W&M’s rushing attack where it increased its production on the ground by more than 130 yards per game and scored 21 more rushing touchdowns than the squad’s 2018 figures. Additionally, the Tribe’s 26 rushing touchdowns was just one shy of breaking into the program’s single-season top-10 list, while its 462 rushing yards in the win against Rhode Island set a singlegame school record.

Ras-I Dowling

Def. Passing Game Coord. • DB 4th Season

Promoted to defensive passing game coordinator during the spring, Ras-I Dowling enters his fourth season as an assistant at William & Mary and his third as the secondary coach after working with the cornerbacks in 2019.

W&M’s secondary was instrumental in the Tribe’s defensive success last season, as the Tribe ranked 18th nationally in interceptions (14) and tied for third in the Colonial Athletic Association in pass efficiency defense (119.4).

Dowling also mentored one of the conference’s top cornerbacks, as Ryan Poole garnered All-CAA distinction last fall after ranking tied for seventh nationally in passes defended. Additionally, Poole was joined on the VaSID All-State First Team by safety Gage Herdman, who led all CAA safeties in interceptions (4) - an impressive figure that also ranked third among all the league’s players.

Although the COVID-19 global pandemic limited the 2020 campaign to a three-game slate during the spring, Dowling’s unit emerged as one of the league’s best and ranked fourth in the conference in passing defense (167.7).

Dowling was instrumental in the success of the Tribe’s cornerbacks in 2019, as Corey Parker and Latrelle Smith, a true freshman, combined to be one of the conference’s top tandems. In addition to recording four interceptions, the duo combined to total 23 passes defended. Additionally, Parker ranked fourth in the conference with 1.17 PBU per game en route to earning second-team all-conference honors.

Dowling joined London at W&M after serving on his staff at Howard University the previous two seasons where he coached and developed Bryan Cook, who was selected with the 62nd overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Drafted by Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots with the 33rd overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, Dowling became the highest selected defensive back to ever play at the University of Virginia.

Keenan Carter Defensive Line Coach 4th Season

Keenan Carter is in his fourth season as the Tribe’s defensive line coach and was promoted to assistant camp director during the spring.

Carter has made a tremendous impact leading W&M’s defensive front and has produced at least one all-conference standout during each of his first three seasons. Nate Lynn highlighted the talented group last season, as he earned multiple AllAmerica accolades and was selected as a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award, which honors the nation’s top FCS defensive player. Will Kiely also garnered All-CAA honors for the second consecutive season.

Carter’s unit was instrumental in the Tribe’s overall defensive success last season, as W&M ranked among the nation’s top 20 in defensive touchdowns (11th), rushing defense (12th) and interceptions (18th). Additionally, W&M’s 29 sacks were just two shy of ranking among the program’s top-10 list, while it ranked third in the CAA in forced turnovers and pass efficiency defense.

During Carter’s first season with the Tribe, the defensive line helped W&M post 30 sacks and limit opposing rushing attacks to just 152.9 yards per game on the ground.

Bill Murray highlighted the individual Tribe standouts who benefited from Carter’s tutelage, as the standout defensive tackle earned first-team All-America honors from Hero Sports and signed a free agent contract with the New England Patriots.

Carter joined W&M’s staff after leading the defensive line for Head Coach Mike London at Howard University during the previous two seasons.

A two-year starter at nose guard at the University of Virginia, Carter graduated from UVA with a degree in sociology and went on to play with several NFL teams. He later earned a master’s degree in education from Grand Canyon University.

Keenan and his wife, Jennifer, have four children: Keenan Jr., Peyton, Doug and Kylie.

Bo Revell

Special Teams Coord. • ILB 8th Season

Promoted to special teams coordinator during the spring, Bo Revell is in his eighth season as a defensive assistant on the William & Mary coaching staff and works with the Tribe’s inside linebackers. He has also served as the program’s recruiting coordinator (2020-21) and video coordinator (2017-19).

W&M’s inside linebackers played a pivotal role in the Tribe’s success defensively last season, as the team ranked among the nation’s top 20 in defensive touchdowns (11th), rushing defense (12th) and interceptions (18th). Additionally, W&M’s 29 sacks were just two shy of ranking among the program’s top-10 list, while it ranked third in the CAA in forced turnovers and pass efficiency defense.

In addition to producing multiple all-conference standouts during his tenure, Revell helped oversee the development of 2015 Butkus Award Watch List standout Luke Rhodes. One of the nation’s top collegiate linebackers throughout his career at W&M, Rhodes signed a free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following a successful senior season in which he earned first-team all-conference honors. Rhodes is currently a member of the Indianapolis Colts and was selected as an All-Pro last season.

Most recently, Revell was instrumental in the development and success of all-conference linebacker Nate Atkins, who finished his career last season ranked eighth in school history with 316 career tackles.

A former tight end for W&M, Revell began serving as a student assistant coach in December 2015 immediately after finishing his playing career.

A three-year starter, Revell was voted a team captain during his senior season. Although he suffered a broken leg during the 2014 season opener at Virginia Tech, he returned late in the campaign and earned starts in the final two games.

He is married to former W&M women’s basketball team captain Victoria (Willems) Revell.

Promoted to director of player development and transition during the spring, Darryl Blackstock is in his fourth season as an assistant on William & Mary’s staff and his third working with the outside linebackers.

Blackstock began his coaching career with the Tribe as a defensive assistant working primarily with the defensive line in 2019.

W&M’s outside linebackers played a pivotal role in the Tribe’s success defensively last season, as the team ranked among the nation’s top 20 in defensive touchdowns (11th), rushing defense (12th) and interceptions (18th). Additionally, W&M’s 29 sacks were just two shy of ranking among the program’s top-10 list, while it ranked third in the CAA in forced turnovers and pass efficiency defense.

Although the COVID-19 global pandemic limited the 2020 campaign to a three-game slate during the spring, Blackstock’s unit excelled during the shortened ledger and was instrumental in helping the Tribe’s defense limit opponents to just 322.0 yards per contest.

A seven-year NFL veteran as a linebacker/defensive end, Blackstock played professionally with the Arizona Cardinals (2005-07), Cincinnati Bengals (2008-09), Oakland Raiders (2011) and Baltimore Ravens (2012).

Selected by the Cardinals in the third round (95th pick overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft, Blackstock began his professional tenure after an outstanding collegiate career at the University of Virginia. A threetime All-Atlantic Coast Conference honoree, he led the league in sacks and ranked first in the nation among linebackers as a junior. His long list of collegiate accolades also includes being selected as the ACC Defensive Freshman of the Year by the Sporting News and garnering first-team freshman All-America distinction from numerous organizations.

HEYFARL (Hundred Each Year for a Rising Letterman) has been scoring big for the Tribe Foot ball Program, one small gift at a time.

The brainchild of former Tribe standout Tom Mikula ’48, the initiative has expanded from just a good idea in the early 1990s to being able to provide as many as four scholarships a season to W&M football players who have entered school as walk-ons.

Mikula partnered with two fellow football players, and the founders of the William & Mary Football Club, in Steve McNamee ’81 and Duane Ragsdale ’81 to bring his vision to reality. In just two decades, the group has raised more than $2 million for the football program and has awarded 81 scholarships.

In all, approximately 800 former players make an annual gift to HEYFARL and their support has literally changed the trajectory of many dozens of players’ lives, and that of their families, by providing crucial financial support.

While there are many ways to be involved, and many levels of support are available, the bulk of giving has come in at $100 at a time. This relatively small sum has made a huge impact in the Tribe football program, as former walk-ons have made profound contributions to the team’s successes.
