*EDITOR’S NOTE- This story orginally ran in 2014 as a part of the Class of 2014 Troy Sports Hall of Fame Ceremony.* One of many former Trojans to turn into wildly successful professional players, Osi Umenyiora was a key piece of Troy teams that started the Trojans’ Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history. An All-American following his senior season in 2002, Umenyiora first rewrote the Troy defensive record books, and then did the same in the National Football League. What’s incredible is the young age at which he did it all. “Osi Umenyiora was a 16-year-old high school senior at Auburn High School,” Troy head coach and fellow Troy University Sports Hall of Fame member Larry Blakeney said. “An assistant coach there said we needed to take a second look at Osi. We signed him and redshirted him after watching his tape again. “He did well in school, was very bright and very eloquent. He came in here, worked hard and had a great career.” Umenyiora recorded 20.5 tackles for loss during that 2002 season to establish a new single-season school record. The record held true for eight seasons until now Atlanta Falcons teammate Jonathan Massaquoi, finished the 2010 campaign with 21.5 tackles for loss. The London, England, native’s senior year at Troy was one of the best in school history as he finished second in the country with 15 sacks, a total which is tied for fifth best in a season in Troy history. Also that season, Umenyiora helped form one of the most feared defensive end combinations in the country. In just it’s second season as an FBS member, Troy’s front featured a senior end in Umenyiora and sophomore end DeMarcus Ware. Each went on to a Pro-Bowl NFL career and each is now enshrined in the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame. An All-Southland Football League selection in 2000 and AllNCAA DI Independent selection in 2002, Umenyiora ranks second all-time in Troy history with 38.5 tackles for loss behind only Ware. Umenyiora also ranks eighth in sacks and 16th in tackles. He holds the Troy single-game record after picking up four sacks against Florida A&M in 2002. Umenyiora was a part of two Southland Football League Championship teams, helping the Trojans win titles in their final two seasons in the league in 1999 and 2000. He was then a part of a 2001 team that went 7-4 in its inaugural season as an FBS member. Umenyiora joins teammates in Ware and Lawrence Tynes, and his coach in Blakeney in the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame. Now one of the most feared defensive lineman in the National Football League, Osi Umenyiora wasn’t invited to the NFL Draft Combine, but Umenyiora was selected by the New York Giants in the second round (56th overall pick) of the 2003 NFL Draft. He went on to win a pair of Super Bowl titles with the Giants and has twice been selected to the NFL Pro Bowl. His professional career has been just as successful as his Troy

career. He led the NFC in sacks in 2005, was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month in Oct. 2010, set the New York Giants record with six sacks in a game and holds the NFL record after forcing 10 fumbles in 2010. “He was fun to coach, fun to watch and a really great kid and student,” Blakeney said. “He has represented Troy University really well.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Since 2014, Umenyiora retired from the NFL and joined BBC Sport helping with their NFL coverage through their NFL International Series. Umenyiora has worked alongside Mark Chapman, Jason Bell, Nat Coombs, Mike Carlson and Dan Walker to earn and earned highly-rated reviews for their coverage. He also works on BBC’s NFL weekly highlights shows. Umeyiora has been recognized by the Royal Televsion Society and the 2018 Sports Journalists’ Association for his work.

Umenyiora married Miss Universe 2011, Leila Lopes in 2015. The couple has welcomed a son, Dijani, in 2018.

A leader both on and off the field, Brock Nutter started 48 straight games for the Trojans and made history as Troy’s first quarterback at the NCAA Football Subdivision Level (FBS). He ranks third all-time in Troy history with 7,687 career passing yards and 581 completions while checking in fourth all-time with 49 career touchdown passes – Nutter was the school record holder in passing yards and completions at the time of his graduation. “He was tough and super competitive,” said Troy University Sports Hall of Fame inductee Lawrence Tynes, who was Nutter’s college roommate. “They played a really tough slate of games his senior year and for him to make every single start of his career really showed you his leadership and his toughness.” A two-time All-Southland Conference selection and the 1998 Southland Conference Newcomer of the Year, Nutter led the Trojans to a pair of conference titles and three trips to the NCAA FCS Playoffs. Additionally, Nutter was named to the Dan Hansen All-America Team following his junior season after throwing for 1,999 yards and guiding the Trojans to an 11-2 record and quarterfinal berth in the NCAA FCS Playoffs. Before the Trojans made the jump to the FBS, they began to mix in teams from the upper division into their schedule including games at Cincinnati and Middle Tennessee in 1999. Behind Nutter’s arm, Troy knocked off both the Bearcats and Blue Raiders which was just a precursor of what was to come in its inaugural FBS season. “He was just fearless in those two games,” Tynes said. “We went on the road and beat two Division I teams and that was such a big moment for us.”

Nutter threw for 390 yards in the win at Middle Tennessee, the second most in school history at the time and 13th most currently, and threw touchdown passes to three different receivers. “Nobody threw that post pattern better than Brock Nutter,” Tynes said. “He could throw the complete pattern tree, but that play action post pattern with just a thing of beauty.” Under Hall of Fame head coach Larry Blakeney, Troy made the move to college football’s top level and made history with a stunning 21-9 win at Mississippi State as the Trojans finished the season 7-4 against a schedule that also included Miami and Nebraska – the two teams who played for the national championship that season. Troy combined for 36 wins over his four-year career and never lost a game to in-state rival Jacksonville State (4-0). “I didn’t know if he was 65 or 18 when he first got here because of that trademark gray hair,” Tynes joked. “I had heard we signed this kid out of high school but didn’t know much about him. He traveled with us as a true freshman, which was rare, so that showed what the coaches thought about him early on.” Nutter led the Trojans to an 8-4 mark his redshirt freshman season and a trip to the FCS Playoffs. “He just wanted to beat you in everything he did,” Tynes said. “Whether it was checkers or football, Brock is one of the most competitive people that I know. He was fiery and would do anything he had to to win a football game; we knew he was our guy after he sat that first year.” Nutter is active in his community volunteering with the Hoover Service Club and Junior Achievement of Alabama among several other organizations.

It is fitting that Denise Monroe, the only Troy University women’s basketball player to ever have her jersey retired, is also the first Troy women’s basketball player ever elected in the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame. Now, not only will no Trojan ever wear number 30 again, but fans visiting the Hall of Fame in Trojan Arena will always know why. During her Troy State career, from 1977 to 1981, Monroe was responsible for a lot of firsts in the history of Troy women’s basketball; in fact, some of her accomplishments have yet to be duplicated in the 30 years since. Monroe is Troy’s all-time leading scorer with 2,024 points and she is the only player in Troy basketball history (men and women) with over 2,000 career points. The Quitman, Ga., native averaged 17.9 points per game over her career. She scored at least 400 points in all four of her seasons and topped the 600-point mark as a senior in 1980-81, earning second team All-America honors, making her the only AllAmerican in Troy women’s basketball history. Monroe chose an upstart Troy State program, over the likes of the University of Georgia, after a successful high school career in Quitman, Ga. “I knew the level of skill that she possessed,” said Troy State coach at the time Joyce Sorrell. “Denise was the type of player that would make passes that the men couldn’t make. “She was a very confident basketball player, but yet a good team player because she is so modest.” Monroe was a four-time, first team AIAW All-Conference selection, making her the only four-time all-conference selection in the program’s history as well. She was also named

to the AIAW All-Tournament team during all four of her seasons with the Trojans, including in 1980-81 when the Trojans won the AIAW State Tournament at Sartain Hall. She was an efficient scorer, shooting 52.0 percent from the floor for her career, making a school record 823 field goals while also posting a school record 378 made free throws. Monroe wasn’t just a dominate scorer for the Trojans, she was also a force on the glass as she averaged a double-double in all four of her seasons as she went on to post 1,311 rebounds during her career. That mark still sits second all-time in Troy history. She also ranks among Troy’s all-time leaders in assists, steals and field goal percentage. The Trojans posted an impressive 68-47 record during Monroe’s four seasons, but they were dominant inside Sartain Hall where Troy State posted a 43-11 mark, including the three-game run through the 1981 AIAW State Tournament in which the Trojans averaged over 93.0 points per contest. “Because she was so talented, people respected Denise and she was the kind of player that held a team together,” Sorrell said. “She was a quiet and unassuming leader.” For her efforts with the Trojans, Monroe was invited to try out for the 1980 United States Olympic Team. “Denise is just a wonderful person and of course a superb basketball player,” Sorrell said. Monroe took the first step into Troy women’s basketball immortality on Nov. 14, 1998 when her number 30 jersey was retired. She now resides in Quitman where she is a talented pianist and helps children in the area learn the game of basketball.

Founded in 1887 as a teachers’ college, Troy University continues to live up to its founding motto: “Educate the mind to think, the heart to feel and the body to act.” This student-centered philosophy has enabled Troy University to grow from a small teachers’ college to Alabama’s International University. TROY’s educational value has been recognized by national publications such as Forbes magazine, U.S. News and World Report and the Princeton Review. Troy University’s recognition as a “best value” university has been enhanced in recent years with major capital improvements and new academic programs, including: •The launching in 2015 of the Ph.D. program in Sport Management. •The state’s first bachelor’s degree program aimed at increasing the number of interpreters for the deaf and hearing impaired. •A renovated Barnes & Noble bookstore, including a Trojan Cafe, on the Montgomery campus. •A newly updated admissions office to greet prospective students and their families in the Adams Administration building, complete with an entrance way along University Avenue and interactive video displays and entry screens. •A renovated food court area in the Trojan Student Center, including new dining options such as Steak ‘n Shake, Boar’s Head Deli, Marble Slab Creamery and Great American Cookie. •The ongoing construction for a new 78,000-square foot Trojan Fitness Center. But TROY hasn’t just made its mark in the U.S. With more than 20,000 students enrolled from across the globe, the University has become a truly international institution. TROY serves four campuses in Alabama—in Troy, Dothan, Montgomery and Phenix City. Outside Alabama, the University maintains a presence globally and has eliminated the barriers of time and place through Troy Online. At the heart of that philosophy is an international focus that provides exposure to other cultures both here and abroad. TROY enrolls more than 1,000 international students from more than 76 countries, while at the same time providing opportunities for students to study abroad in Africa, Asia, Cuba, Europe and Central, South America and the Middle East.

“What we’ve attempted to do at Troy University is to create an environment, a culture of caring, where our students can actually experience, get to know and live, work and learn with students from around the world,” Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., Chancellor, said. “That’s essential as they prepare to make a living and a life in today’s global marketplace.” Troy University is also home to the Confucius Institute, a center aimed at promoting Chinese language and culture and fostering business exchange opportunities. In addition, the University is home to the Center for International Business and Economic Development and the Manuel H. Johnson Center for Political Economy. TROY also led the way in the United States with its dual degree 1-2-1 program, a partnership with certain Chinese universities that allows Chinese students to start their degree program at home, transfer to TROY for two years and return to their home institutions to finish their degree. Students receive diplomas from both TROY and their home institutions at the completion of the program. TROY offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs across five colleges: Arts and Sciences, Business, Communication and Fine Arts, Health and Human Services and Education. In addition, Troy University offers a Doctorate of Nursing Practice degree, which prepares its graduates for the most advanced level of nursing care, and the Ph.D. in Sport Management. Troy University offers a vast exposure to the historical and cultural arts. On the Montgomery Campus, students, faculty and the general public can visit the Rosa Parks Museum, which celebrates the legacy of the late Civil Rights leader whose refusal to give up her seat on a city bus to a white male led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The Davis Theater for Performing Arts, also on the Montgomery Campus, provides a venue for a variety of local and regional musical and cultural entertainment.

On the Troy Campus, the Janice Hawkins Cultural Arts Park, named for the University’s First Lady, is home to an amphitheater, walking trails and a collection of outdoor sculpture, including 200 terracotta warriors by renowned sculptor Huo Bao Zhu. The park is also home to the International Arts Center, which includes the Huo Bao Zhu Gallery, the Fred Nall Museum, and Warriors Unearthed designed by Frank Marquette, an interpretive center explaining the significance and design of the terracotta warrior exhibit. The center is also home to studio and classroom space for the University’s Graphic Design program. TROY’s College of Communication and Fine Arts provides more than 200 public performances and artistic presentations each year, to an audience of more than 250,000 people. More than 20 percent of the students on the Troy Campus are involved in music study through the Sound of the South Marching Band, choral ensembles and private lessons. This year, the Concert Chorale ensemble performed at the historic Carnegie Hall and a group of music, theatre and dance students performed at the Danza in Arte a Pietrasanta Festival in Italy. Students on the Troy Campus looking to get involved in University life can choose from nearly 200 different campus service, religious and social organizations. Cocurricular organizations include the “South of the South” marching and concert bands, Collegiate Singers and Trojan Dance Repertory Ensemble. In addition, TROY offers a variety of activities to enhance the quality of student life on campus. Troy University has an active Greek Life, with 13 fraternities, 10 sororities and five music fraternities on its Troy Campus. A fraternity village consisting of seven two-story houses was opened in 2010. The Troy Campus has two active studentled publications, The Tropolitan and the Palladium. Also, the award-winning TROY TrojanVision broadcasts three live student produced newscasts daily.

AROUND CAMPUS

33rd year University of Montevallo, ‘67 Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., a native of Mobile, Alabama, was named Chancellor of Troy University Sept. 1, 1989. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Montevallo and his doctorate from the University of Alabama. Upon completion of his bachelor’s degree in 1967, Hawkins was commissioned a lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps and served as a platoon leader during the Vietnam War. For his combat duty, he received the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and a citation from the Korean Marine Corps. Hawkins has overseen an era of change and growth at TROY, as he led the merger of the worldwide Troy State University System into the unified Troy University, an initiative called “One Great University.” More than $350 million has been invested in capital improvements by the Hawkins Administration, including new academic buildings on all four of TROY’s Alabama campuses. Chancellor Hawkins served as the catalyst for the University’s evolution to an international institution, as TROY has attracted record numbers of students from other nations and established teaching sites around the world. During his tenure, academic standards for admission have been increased, new degree programs were established in all academic colleges, and intercollegiate athletics joined the highest level of NCAA competition. Hawkins’ professional background includes his service as an assistant dean at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (1971-1979) and as

president of the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind in Talladega (1979-1989). In 1985, he was honored by the University of Montevallo as Distinguished Alumnus of the Year, and was the recipient of the 2003 AllAmerican Football Foundation’s “Top College President” Award. In 2005 he was inducted into the Hall of Fame of Murphy High School in Mobile, Alabama. In 2007 he was recognized as the “Alabama Citizen of the Year” by the Alabama Broadcasters Association. In 2011, Dr. Hawkins was recognized with the Chief Executive Leadership Award presented by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and as the March of Dimes River Region Citizen of the Year. In 2012 he received the Distinguished Public Service Award from the Secretary of the Air Force for his service on the Air University Board of Visitors from 2004-2012. In 2014 he was one of nine university presidents/chancellors worldwide— and the only one in North America—to receive the World Confucius Institute’s Individual Performance Excellence Award. In October 2016 Dr. Hawkins was inducted into the Alabama Academy of Honor. Three buildings are named in his honor: the “Jack and Janice Hawkins Chapel” at the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind, the “HawkinsAdams-Long Hall of Honor” and “Jack Hawkins, Jr. Hall” which serves the College of Education of Troy University. Hawkins was profiled as part of two books published in 2004: “Above and Beyond: Former Marines Conquer the Civilian

World” by Rudy Socha and Carolyn Darrow and “The Entrepreneurial College President” by James L. Fisher and James V. Koch. Hawkins serves on the board of directors of the Daniel Foundation, the Bennie Adkins Foundation, Business Council of Alabama, the American Village Trust, College Football Playoff Board of Managers, and Troy Bank and Trust Company. He has served as chairman of the Governor’s Committee on Employment of the Disabled, Board of Visitors of Marine Corps University, Better Business Bureau of Central Alabama, and past President of the Sun Belt Conference. He has also served on the Board of Directors of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), as Chairman of the Council of University Presidents in Alabama, as President of the Southland Football League, as chairman of the Air University Board of Visitors, as a trustee of Talladega College, the Helen Keller Eye Research Foundation, and the American Foundation for the Blind. He is a member of the Troy Rotary Club. Dr. Hawkins is married to Janice Hawkins and they have two daughters, Katie, a former officer in the USAF who is married to Air Force Col. Dan Beall; and Kelly Godwin, an attorney and member of the Troy University faculty who is married to Adam Godwin, a former professional baseball player and a member of the Troy University baseball staff. Dr. and Mrs. Hawkins are the proud grandparents of Noah and Ellyotte, who live in Maryland, and Micah Mae, who lives in Montgomery.

the first time in program history, and the Trojans followed with another Sun Belt Tournament semifinal berth in 2021. Women’s indoor track & field posted its best-ever finishes in 2020 and 2021, while soccer took home a second-place finish in the Sun Belt in 2019.

In just two years as Troy’s Director of Athletics, Brent Jones has overseen a restructuring of the department’s external and internal teams that has led the department to set records in academics, licensing, attendance and season ticket sales. Jones leads the department under his W-4 mantra – Winning in the Classroom, Winning on the Field, Winning in the Community and Winning in the Stands. On the court, Troy posted one of its top Bubas Cup (Sun Belt All-Sports Trophy) finishes in recent years in 2020 despite many high-scoring spring sports not earning points due to the COVID-19 stoppage of play. Additionally, Jones guided the Troy Athletic Department through the most-unprecedented years in collegiate athletics due to COVID-19 with Troy operating a full capacity from a staff, student-athlete and sport participation standpoint, and Troy’s football team playing an 11-game schedule. On the court, the success of Troy’s teams has been plentiful. The Troy women’s basketball program won its third and fourth Sun Belt Conference titles in the last six seasons in 2020 and 2021. The volleyball program posted one of the best turnarounds in the nation in 2019 which saw it advance to postseason play for

This past season, the Troy softball program finished second in the Sun Belt Conference and earned an at-large selection; Troy’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in 25 years. Additionally, Troy baseball finished third in the Sun Belt, Gemma Finch advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship in the 800m and men’s tennis entered the Sun Belt Tournament as the league’s No. 2 seed. The women’s cross country team turned in its best-ever finish at the Sun Belt Championship and the men’s basketball team won a game in the Sun Belt Tournament for the first time since 2018. Off the field of play, Jones has led Troy Athletics to extraordinary levels. Eleven of Troy’s 15 programs finished with grade point averages over 3.0 in the unprecedented 2019 spring semester while the collective student-athlete population posted a 3.11 GPA and eight total programs finished with a 3.5 GPA or higher. That success continued into the 2020-21 academic year, with 58 student-athletes receiving their degrees during the winter and spring commencement ceremonies. He currently serves as vice chair for the Sun Belt Conference Athletics Directors, the cochair of the Sun Belt Conference’s Marketing, Communications and Branding Committee, was appointed to the Sun Belt’s Name, Image and Likeness Committee and began a four-year term on the NCAA Committee on Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct in the spring of 2021. He will assume the chair role of the Sun Belt Conference Athletics Directors for the 2023 season. Troy’s facilities have also been upgraded under Jones’ watch with new turf in The Vet, a new court design in Trojan Arena and a state-ofthe-art volleyball playing surface. Additionally, the volleyball and track & field offices in Trojan Arena have gone through a rebranding process. Troy’s tennis courts underwent a rebranding effort in the spring of 2021 in addition to the playing surfaces receiving upgrades, while the Troy Soccer Complex will have new turf in place for the 2021 season. Prior to the 2021 football season, Troy released a new premium seating area in the South End Zone of The Vet -- the Ultra Lounge -- which sold out a month prior to the season. Jones led a renegotiation on Troy’s multimedia rights deal with Playfly Sports, which has increased revenue for Troy Athletics for years to come. Additionally, Troy secured a new partnership with Affinity Licensing, which significantly

amplified Troy merchandise volume in the marketplace in addition to increasing revenue and better serving Troy’s fans and merchants. Thanks in part to a new partnership with IMG-L Ticket Solutions, the Trojans set numerous benchmarks during his four-plus years at Troy, including record-breaking attendance numbers for Troy football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball, softball and baseball. Men’s basketball season ticket sales increased by 400 percent during his first season in the AD chair, while a record number of season tickets were sold for football, baseball and women’s basketball. Jones, who was introduced as Troy’s Director of Athletics on June 12, 2019, took over the role following a two-year stint as Troy’s Deputy Director of Athletics for External Operations. In his role as Deputy Director of Athletics, Jones had oversight of marketing, communications, advertising, ticket sales, Troy Sports Properties, broadcasting, promotions, fan engagement, fan experience, branding, licensing and trademarks. He served as the sport administrator for the baseball program and oversaw football scheduling. Jones spearheaded a partnership with Troy University’s Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management program to offer a revenue generation class that assists in outbound sales efforts, ticket sales, marketing, hospitality, customer service and retention efforts. Also, several unique campaigns and events have been established including an online athletic merchandise store, the football Tailgate Terrace Concert Series, OneTROY Fridays, the Community Hero ticket plan, bowl socials around the state, a marketing, sales, and best practices partnership with the Montgomery Biscuits, performing a Trojan Takeover in New Orleans and Mobile during Troy’s two most recent bowl appearances and hosting a Troy University graduation in New Orleans for graduating football players, cheerleaders and band members during the R&L New Orleans Bowl.

GAMEDAY » INDIVIDUAL CAREER RECORDS

Chip Lindsey, one of the nation’s most innovative offensive minds, begins his third season as Troy’s head coach. Lindsey, 46, has been the architect of some of the nation’s most electric offenses since moving to the collegiate ranks and his first two seasons with the Trojans were no exception. Additionally, he navigated the Trojans through the unconventional 2020 season as Troy was able to play 11 of its 12 scheduled games with the lone cancellation coming because of an opponent’s inability to play. In 2020, Troy ranked 21st nationally and second in the Sun Belt averaging 290.2 passing yards per game while sophomore quarterback Gunnar Watson led the league with 237.9 passing yards per game and by completing 70.1 percent of his pass attempts, a mark that ranked seventh nationally and third all-time in Troy history. The Trojan offensive line was also one of the best pass blocking units in the country as the group checked in third (at least 300 passing attempts) nationally per Pro Football Focus’ OL Pass Blocking Efficiency – Troy allowed just nine sacks, six quarterback hits, 45 hurries and 60 pressures in 494 passing situations. Linebacker Carlton Martial tied for first nationally with 113 tackles, which included a 21-tackle game against Coastal Carolina. The Trojans improved 63 spots nationally in scoring defense from 2019 to 2020 and 38 spots in total defense. Troy led the country with four defensive scores and the Trojans finished the season ranked as the nation’s No. 15 defense per PFF. In his first season, the Trojans topped the 500-yard mark in total offense on six different occasions to tie the program’s DI record and scored 35-plus points eight times; the second most in program history and fourth most in Sun Belt Conference history. The Trojans finished ninth nationally in passing offense (313.2), 25th in scoring offense (33.8) and 18th in total offense (456.3). He also guided quarterback Kaleb Barker, just 331 days removed from an ACL injury, to one of the best seasons in Troy history. Barker finished third nationally in completions per game (24.92), fifth in yards per game (302.3), fourth in 300-yard passing games (6) and 14th in touchdown passes (30). Among the Troy all-time greats to play the position, Barker finished third in touchdown passes and passing yards (3,628) and fourth in completions (299). Both Barker and receiver Kaylon Geiger were named to the All-Sun Belt First Team and Geiger was the league’s Newcomer of the Year. On the defensive side of the football, Martial became just the 12th player in the last 20 years to finish a season with 100 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and three interceptions on his way to AllAmerica honors while true freshman safety Dell Pettus was named a Freshman All-American. Both offseasons saw the positive momentum continue as Lindsey and his staff signed two of the top recruiting classes in program history. The 2020 class was the second-ranked class in the Sun Belt

@TroyAthletics

and the third-highest rated class in school history according to 247Sports. Troy added 17 threestar players in the class including several ranked near the top 100 in their position nationally. The most-recent class featured the highest per-player average ranking and didn’t include a handful of Power Five conference transfers. Lindsey’s first stint at Auburn as an offensive analyst resulted in the Tigers winning the SEC Championship and making a BCS National Championship run, while his most recent tenure on The Plains saw Auburn set school records and post one of the best offensive seasons in SEC history. In 2017, Auburn became just the eighth team in SEC history and the first in Auburn history to rush and pass for 3,000 yards in a season. The Tigers also ranked 26th nationally in total offense and set an Auburn record scoring 327 points in SEC play. Auburn won the SEC West Division after knocking off a pair of top-ranked teams in Georgia and Alabama over a three-week period. All-SEC quarterback Jarrett Stidham, the second Auburn player ever to throw for 3,000 yards in a season, led the SEC and ranked ninth nationally in completion percentage. Running back Kerryon Johnson was SEC Offensive Player of the Year, and Ryan Davis set an Auburn receiving record with 84 catches. Prior to leaving for Kansas, Lindsey’s final season at Auburn saw the Tigers defeat Pac-12 Champion Washington and nationally-ranked Texas A&M. Lindsey returned to Auburn from Arizona State, where he served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2016. The Sun Devils started 5-1 before losing three quarterbacks to injury; running back Kalen Ballage tied an NCAA record scoring eight touchdowns in a 68-55 win over Texas Tech.

As offensive coordinator at Southern Miss from 2014-15, he developed the Conference USA 2015 Offensive Player of the Year and current San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens, who ranked second in the league in passing yards (4,145) and TD passes (36), and ranked in the top eight in the nation in both marks in 2015. The Southern Miss offense broke five singleseason school records in 2015: completions (312), passing yards (4,263), total offense yards (6,758), touchdowns (67) and points (528), as the Golden Eagles recorded nine wins, a Conference USA West title, and a berth in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl against Washington. Lindsey’s 2015 Golden Eagle offense ranked fifth in the nation in total touchdowns, seventh in total points, eighth in total passing yards and completions, and 12th in points per game and passing yards per game. The 2015 Golden Eagles tallied more than 4,200 passing yards and just under 2,500 rushing yards. The national leader with 102 explosive plays, Southern Miss was just the second school in FBS history with a 4,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard receiver and two 1,000-yard rushers. Prior to his first stint at Auburn, from 2011-12, Lindsey served as head coach at Spain Park (Ala.) High School, leading the school to its first 6A regional championship. Lindsey served as quarterbacks coach at Troy in 2010, following a long and distinguished career as a prep coach (1997-2009) in football and baseball. At Troy, he coached the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year Corey Robinson and helped guide the Trojans to their fifth consecutive Sun Belt Championship. Robinson set a school record for completions (321) that season while his 3,726 passing yards rank as the second most in Troy history; he threw for 387 yards and four touchdowns in Troy’s New Orleans Bowl victory.

The Trojans totaled the second most passing touchdowns (33) and most completions (340) in a season in school history. A two-time coach of the year honoree (200809) at Lassiter (Ga.) High School, he guided the development of Parade All-American Hutson Mason, who broke every single-season state passing record in 2009, including passing yards (4,560) and touchdowns (54), and Phillip Lutzenkirchen, who would break tight end records at Auburn. The Trojans went 12-1 and won a regional championship in 2009, and Lindsey received state coach of the year honors from the Atlanta Falcons and the Cobb County Touchdown Club. The Associated Press, Marietta Daily Journal and Cobb County Touchdown Club named him the 2008 Georgia Coach of the Year. Lindsey served as offensive coordinator at Hoover (Ala.) High School in 2007 as the team finished 10-2 and advanced to the third round of the state playoffs. Lindsey’s first experience as a head coach came from 2005-06 at Colbert Heights (Ala.) High School, where he earned 2006 Coach of the Year honors from the Florence Times-Daily. Lindsey spent the 1997-2004 seasons as an assistant coach, including Florence, Deshler, Sparkman, and Springville High Schools in Alabama. Lindsey played football at the University of North Alabama before transferring as a student to Alabama, where he received his bachelor’s degree in history and English in 1997. He earned a master’s in educational leadership from the University of Phoenix in 2005. A native of Madison, Ala., Lindsey graduated from Bob Jones High School, where he was a three-sport letterman. Lindsey and his wife Cecily have four children: Claire, Caroline, Cooper and Conner.

Three tournaments into the 2021-22 season, and it is clear to see the potential and a limitless ceiling for the Troy women’s golf team. Armed with a new-look roster, Randy Keck’s squad has put up solid results over their first three events led by a resurgent ShaeLee Scarberry. The Trojan junior has paced Troy in all three events this year and leads the squad with a 72.44 stroke average (0.44 vs. par) with a team-best three rounds under par. Scarbery is the reigning Sun Belt Golfer of the Week after carding two rounds under par and posting a 72.00 scoring average during the reporting period. “All of ShaeLee’s hard work is finally paying off,” Keck said. “She has worked really hard on her ball-striking, and because of that, she is now an elite-level ball striker. ShaeLee has always been a good putter, and now you combine that with her new ball-striking ability, and you can see the evidence on the golf course.” The highlight of the fall season was Troy’s third-place finish at the Hoover Invite in late September, where Scarberry finished second overall, while Elizabeth Caldarelli and Elisabeth Preus turned in top-20 performances. In Troy’s last tournament, Preus fired a final round 2-under 70 to move into a tie for seventh place at the event; it was the lowest round shot by a golfer in the round. “Elisabeth Preus has come on really fast and is playing quality golf right now,” Keck said. “Anna Claire Little and Elizabeth Calderalli are also playing some steady golf and giving us some consistent scores throughout our lineup. So if we can consistently get low numbers from the back end of our lineup, where we’re counting 74s and 75s instead of 77s and 78s, we’ve got a great shot to achieve our goals.” The timing is right for Keck’s squad to take that next step and return to the top of the Sun Belt Conference with the veteran leadership from Scarberry, Little and Calderalli, plus the young firepower of Preus, Bruna Roqueta and Alyssa Mercado. “From a talent level standpoint, we are very strong,” Keck said. “We have a little bit of inexperience in certain areas and need to get some players more reps and more experience. I am super excited about this team and where we are going. Our team chemistry and work ethic are amazing … college golf is a marathon, and by the end of the school year, this team is going to be very good.”

The Troy University Band Program enjoys nationwide recognition as one of the finest and most comprehensive musical organizations of its kind. Troy instrumentalists not only have the opportunity to participate in the renowned “Sound of the South” Marching Band, but also have the opportunity to perform in the Symphony Band, four concert bands, jazz Ensembles, the Basketball Pep Band and various small ensembles. The 2015 – 2016 year marked the 50th Anniversary of The “Sound of the South” Marching Band. Dr. John M. Long created the band in it’s current form in the fall of 1965. Dr. Long developed The “Sound of the South” into a collegiate ensemble that has developed a national reputation for its quality musicianship and exciting, innovative arrangements and drill design. The “Sound of the South” Marching Band entertains audiences regularly at all Troy home games and several away games. Recent away appearances include Troy University’s bowl appearances at the Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose, Calif., the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala., and three appearances at the New Orleans Bowl in the Louisiana Superdome. In fact, over the past few years, the “South of the South” Marching Band has traveled tens of thousands of miles entertaining audiences literally from coast to coast. Additionally, the “Sound” has been featured on all major broadcast and sports networks including ESPN, Fox Sports South and USA television networks. Other honors which the “Sound of the South” has received is the representation of the State of Alabama at the Inaugural Parades of President Richard Nixon (1969 and 1973), President Ronald Reagan (1985), and President George Bush (1989). The “Sound” has also performed halftime shows

with Grammy Award-winning artists Brian McKnight, Lee Greenwood, The Temptations and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, Chubby Checker. The “Sound of the South” Pep Band performs at all men’s and women’s basketball home games. Comprised of 30 musicians from all academic disciplines, the pep band entertains the home crowd with great music and irreverent, energetic cheering. This group travels with men’s and women’s basketball to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, as well as the NCAA Tournaments. Membership in the basketball pep band is by audition, and it performs from Mid-October to April each academic year. The “Sound of the South” is the largest student organization on campus and its members have produced leaders in academics, student government, and athletics, as well as other areas of campus life. Students have the opportunity to participate in several professional organizations including Kappa Kappa Psi, Tau Beta Sigma, Phi Mu Alpha, Sigma Alpha Iota and Phi Boota Roota. For information regarding band scholarships auditions, please contact Dr. Mark Walker, Director of Bands at Troy University, Troy, AL 36082. Dr. Walker may be reached by phone at (334) 670-3281, or by email at troyband@troy.edu. You may also log on to the internet at www.troysoundofthesouth.org for information about scholarship auditions, special events, upcoming “Sound” schedules and general information about the “Sound of the South.” WE KNOW YOU WILL ENJOY THE SHOW, GO TROJANS!

Coming off a semifinal appearance in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and armed with a strong returning core of players, the Troy men’s tennis team is poised for another deep run in the Sun Belt and beyond in 2021-22. “We have a very experienced team with a pair of seniors who have been with us for five years, and that makes a big difference,” head coach Rolando Vargas said. “We have a lot of depth on our roster and with that a lot of competition at practice. We’re playing a challenging fall schedule to see how our lineup will shake out for the spring where we play against seven ranked opponents.” The Trojans ended the 2021 season ranked eighth in the ITA Southern Regional Rankings, while Carlen Anton ranked 20th in the region in singles. The Trojans were one of the top teams in the Sun Belt during the 2021 campaign, finishing with the best record in the conference at 20-4. Troy’s 20 wins marked the first time that the Trojans had reached that milestone since the 2015 season. Troy has improved each year under Vargas’ direction, as he has led the team to a 48-16 record, including an impressive come-from-behind victory over UTA in the 2021 Sun Belt quarterfinals. Pelayo Antuna returns after collecting his second-career First Team All-Sun Belt Singles honor last year as he posted a 9-6 mark in singles and a 9-4 doubles record after battling back from an early-season injury. A mainstay on the top court for Troy throughout his career, Antuna has earned 15 wins on court one over the past two seasons. Carles Anton, a native of Valencia, Spain, was named the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year last season after posting a 16-3 mark. Anton has compiled an impressive 35-6 overall singles record and a 30-4 record in dual matches in his two seasons with the Trojans. In addition to the strong returning core, which also features Manual Bernard, Francisco Erramuspe, Vita Llinares, Nicolas Simkin, Christopher Tasker and Nicolas Rodriguez, Vargas added a pair of impact freshmen in Noah Martens and Maxime Hillhouse. Simkin and Tasker enter the 2021-22 season after earning All-Sun Belt Second Team honors in doubles last year. “We enter this season with the extra belief that we can win the Sun Belt after what we accomplished last year,” Vargas said. “Our goal is to win the conference and that is the reason we are playing such a difficult schedule both in the fall and spring. If our guys buy into our system of fighting until the end and working hard, the sky is the limit for this team.”
