*EDITOR’S NOTE- This story orginally ran in 2013 as a part of the Class of 2013 Troy Sports Hall of Fame Ceremony.* Tough, tenacious and leader are words that are commonly used to describe football players; however, they are not typically used to describe kickers. Lawrence Tynes is not your typical kicker.

He has made 82 percent of his field goals as a professional and has not missed an extra point in five seasons. Tynes is also well known for his charitable work in both New York and his hometown of Milton, Fla., where he, his wife Amanda live.

The son of a former Navy SEAL, Tynes has kicked game-winning field goals in a pair of NFC Championship Games in addition to leading Troy State to a pair of NCAA I-AA Playoff berths and two Southland Conference titles.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Since his induction, Tynes has kickstarted a career in podcasting, where he currently serves as the New York Post’s Blue Ruch Pod Cast host.

“He was a tough kid and had leadership skills that he wasn’t afraid to use,” Tynes’ head coach at Troy Larry Blakeney said. “There is no question that Lawrence is a hall of famer. He won games for us, he won games in the NFL and he has always done it with class. He will always be special in my mind.”

He and his wife Amanda also welcomed twin boys, Caleb and Jaden.

Tynes was recruited by current Troy defensive coordinator Wayne Bolt out of Milton, Fla., and came to Troy as a walk-on before earning a scholarship during his second year with the program. “His father, who was a police officer, negotiated hard with me to get Lawrence a scholarship,” Blakeney said. “I told him if he came here and won the starting job I would give him one and that’s just what he did.” The only Scottish-born player to win a Super Bowl ring, Tynes booted a 47-yard field goal in overtime to lift the New York Giants past the Green Bay Packers in the 2007 NFC Championship Game. The kick by Tynes, who had missed two kicks earlier in the game, was the longest field goal in postseason history at Lambeau Field. “I was speaking at a clinic in Nashville and saw him miss what would have been the game-winner right before I went up to speak,” Blakeney said. “As I was giving my speech, I brought up him missing the kick and someone in the crowd said, ‘Don’t worry coach, he just kicked one to win the game.’” Four years later Tynes struck again to send the Giants to the Super Bowl and once again it was in tough conditions. Tynes hit from 31 yards out to send the Giants, which included former Trojans Osi Umenyiora and Jerrel Jernigan, to the Super Bowl. “The weather was terrible, the balls were wet and the balls were full of grass,” Tynes said in the locker room following the victory. “It was tough sledding out there. The moisture, the footing was tough, the balls were really slick.” Both Super Bowls were against the New England Patriots and both were Giants victories. Tynes kicked a field goal and a pair of extra points in Super Bowl XLII and kicked two field goals and an extra point in Super Bowl XLVI. Tynes holds Troy’s career record after he connected on 98.2 percent (111-of-113) of his extra points and is second in career field goal percentage (77.2) while ranking third all-time in field goals made (44). “There is no question that I thought he had a chance to make it in the NFL,” Blakeney said. “Everyone wants to give kickers and punters a hard time, but Lawrence did not have your typical kicker personality. I knew that he would never back down from a challenge.”

Tynes remains as an active alumni in the Troy community, and his voice can be found in some of Troy Football’s game trailers.

Big, powerful, yet resilient. DeWhitt Betterson ran the ball with conviction and he ran it often. The all-time leading rusher in Troy history, Betterson was a key member of the Troy football teams that helped the Trojans make the transition from the Football Championship Subdivision to the Football Bowl Subdivision and the Sun Belt Conference. At 6-feet, 218 pounds Betterson, who played for the Trojans from 2001-04, rushed for 3,441 yards on 653 carries over his four-year career – his career rushing total is 515 yards more than anyone else in school history. A Stake, Fla., native, Betterson was an important recruit for the transitioning Trojans to land. “Boy, he helped us win a lot of games,” former Troy football head coach Larry Blakeney said. “He turned into a beast, a great player. He was such a durable guy, one that was not only good enough to make plays, but he could last until the end of the game and make plays down the stretch, too.” Betterson earned first team All-Sun Belt Conference honors in Troy’s first year in the league after rushing for 1,161 yards his junior season. Additionally, Betterson was named Co-MVP of the Silicon Valley Football Classic after he rushed for 150 yards in Troy’s first-ever bowl appearance. His 150 rushing yards still stands as the most in a bowl game in Troy history. “He was a big guy that could carry the load,” Blakeney said. “He would run it just as hard in quarter one as he would in quarter four. He really wore defenses down and that helped us in those years of transition. We were able to keep our defense off the field and really move the football offensively because he could grind out yards.”

Betterson is responsible for three of the top 15 single-game rushing totals in school history – he rushed for 230 yards and two scores against Utah State in 2003, which ranks as the third most rushing yards in a game in Troy history. He also rushed for 184 yards and two scores against Idaho in 2004. In fact, Betterson finished that season rushing for 120-plus yards in three consecutive games. He finished his career with 100 or more rushing yards in 14 games with seven coming in 2004 – both school records. He recorded 24 rushing touchdowns in his career – fifth most is school history – and averaged more that 107 yards per game in his senior season – a Troy singleseason record. “He was a quiet, soft-spoken guy, but he carried a big stick,” Blakeney said. “He made our offense what it was because we had a tailback that could get the job done. He could carry the ball 25 times a game and still have something left in the tank. He really was an impressive athlete.” One the most unforgettable touchdowns in Troy football history started with a handoff to Betterson but ended with an unlikely hero emerging to save the day. On Sept. 9, 2004, Troy was hosting No. 17 Missouri - its first-ever ranked FBS opponent. The Trojans trailed 14-7 with less than five minutes remaining in the first half when quarterback Aaron Leak handed the ball to Betterson on a simple dive play up the middle. After breaking one tackle, Betterson stumbled, was immediately hit by another defender and fumbled the ball into the air. However, seemingly out of nowhere 280-pound offensive lineman Junior Louissaint appeared and hauled in the loose ball. The lineman then rumbled 63 yards for a touchdown to tie the game. The Trojans went on to win the contest, 24-14. Betterson went on to coach Pop Warner football in addition to a successful professional career as a Senior Officer for the Bureau of Prisons.

Former track coach, John “Doc” Anderson, and Troy University Sports Hall of Fame member, only needs one word to describe his former standout track athlete James Batie: Superlative. It was the summer of ’69, when Doc was told about a runner from Columbus, Ga. “Pete Jenkins, a football coach, told me there was a runner over at Baker High that I needed to check out,” Anderson said. “So I went over there to talk to the track coach, Sam Roberts, who had previously coached at San Jose State with Bud Winter.” In high school, Batie finished just one-tenth of a second off the world record in the 50-yard dash, a record he would later tie as a freshman at Troy.

“His work ethic was good,” Anderson said. “He wasn’t a guy that was a ‘yeah, yeah’ guy. He went about everything quietly and got it done. He was very coachable, but with that said, I owe all of that to Sam Roberts, his high school track coach. He came out of Baker very advanced. In addition to tying a world record during his freshman campaign, Batie also finished second in both the 100-yard dash and the 60-yard dash at the NAIA National Meet. His illustrious career allowed him to be Troy’s first Division I All-American. Anderson adds, “In track, you are not selected you earn it, and he did. He upset the guy from Michigan in Detroit at the NCAA Indoor meet. Back then, if you qualified and were a member of the NCAA, you could go to the NCAA indoor meet, and that’s how he did it, several times.”

Batie, a five-time NCAA & NAIA All-American, ran for the Trojans from 1970-73.

Anderson says simply put, Batie lit it up on the track. “He really is the reason today we really have a track program. He lit it up. In the spring of 1970, we won a conference championship we weren’t supposed to and from then on, it was championships after championships. He would and could still be competitive today.”

“In the spring of 1970 we went down to Florida and he won the 100-yard dash, upsettting the guy from Southern Illinois,” Anderson recalls. “He was the first real-deal guy that we had, and the rest was history.”

Anderson and Batie still hold a close relationship, as Anderson says Batie was just in his office a few days ago, catching up. “I know he is so excited about (being inducted into the hall of fame).”

Batie went on to be rated as the sixth-fastest runner in the nation by Runner World. He held the Troy record in the 50, 60, 100 and 200-yard dashes, in addition to being on three different school record setting relay teams. As a freshman, Batie tied the world record in the 50-yard dash with a time of 5.1 seconds. He also led the Trojans to Alabama Collegiate Conference and NAIA District 27 championships.

After all of the memories made between coach Anderson and Batie, Anderson makes it a point to say, “One last bit of information about Baite, he never had a single false start in his entire time here.”

“So, what made him unique was, this was a guy you could tell right off the bat was going to be a really good runner,” Anderson said.

Batie, a member on the US Olympic Training team, is now retired after working in the state prison system, and lives in Troy.

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.

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.

The 2021-22 Troy Women’s Basketball team: veterans With the 2021-22 season on the horizon, the Troy women’s basketball team will rely on their experienced squad to do what has never been done before, win a third consecutive Sun Belt title. “There is a lot of excitement with the season just days away,” head coach Chanda Rigby said. “I am starting my 10th season here, and that is hard to believe. This team has accom-plished some really big things, but we have new goals this season. Nobody in the conference has ever three-peated a championship, and that is what we are going for.” Despite just seven returners all-together, the Trojans boast a veteran squad littered with upperclassmen, seven of which already have college degrees. “We have a very mature group. Because of the extra year with COVID, we have seven women with college degrees. They are very mature, and that has allowed for them to bond very quickly.” The Trojans look to key returners Jasmine Robinson and Felmas Koranga to take the lead. Koranga, the 2020-21 Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year, was a Preseason All-Sun Belt First Team selection while Robinson was tabbed a member of the second team. Troy was ranked No. 24 in the World Exposure Report Preseason Women’s Basketball Top 25 Poll after posting a 22-6 record and putting a scare on No. 2 Texas A&M in the NCAA Tournament. “It is an honor to be recognized. We are trying to get the Sun Belt Conference more recognition for how good it is. To continue getting that recognition, we have made one of the hardest schedules in my tenure here.” The squad will square off against numerous Power Five opponents including Missouri, Duke, Mississippi State and Wake Forest. “We wanted a non-conference schedule that was as challenging as we could make it. This is, by far, the toughest schedule we have played. Iron sharpens iron, and we have high hopes that we will get better and better as we fight through this tough lineup of teams.” In preparation for competing with these Power Five teams, the Trojans have brought in some of Power Five talent of their own in Jada Walton (Texas Tech), Tina Stephens (Kansas) and second-year member Jhileiya Dunlap (Ole Miss). The Trojans kick off the season with a pair of midweek home tilts against Talladega Tuesday and Florida A&M Thursday. Tuesday’s game against Talladega will be a doubleheader, with the men facing Carver directly following.

INDIVIDUAL CAREER RECORDS « GAMEDAY

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!

After coming off an 11-17 campaign, Scott Cross, in his third season at the helm, is looking to lead the Trojans to the top of the Sun Belt Conference. “Our guys have worked hard and are ready to get the season started,” head coach Scott Cross said. “We wanted to get older this year, and I think in the Sun Belt Conference, you have to have experience. Really, in any league, the older you are, the better you are going to be. This year we will be older and much more mature, and physically stronger. We know we will have to play our best basketball to win, but I think we are in a much better position to compete for a championship than we have been in the previous two years. The Trojans see their leading scorer return in Nick Stampley, who was tabbed a Preseason All-Sun Belt Third Team member. The Broward County, Fla. native, led the Trojans averaging 12.6 points and 30.2 minutes last season. Stampley scored in double figures 16 times, including five double-doubles during the 2020-21 campaign. The dual-threat also tallied 34 three-pointers, the second-most on the squad behind guard Desmond Williams. In addition, Stampley added 21 blocks, 21 steals, and 21 assists to his season stat line. Inside conference action, Stampley ranked eighth in scoring, averaging 14.6 points, and 12th in rebounds, averaging 6.6 rebounds. The Trojans have added a couple of newcomers that look to make an immediate impact on the court. First, Duke Deen came from Panola College and was named an NJCAA Third Team AllAmerica. While at Panola, the Shreveport, La. native, recorded three games with at least 30 points, including a career-best 43-point effort against Kilgore College back on March 10. Deen hit at least three triples in nine different contests. The 5-10 guard averaged a team-best 20 points per game while shooting 44.6 percent from the floor. The sharpshooter also shot 41.6 percent from behind the arc and 86 percent from the charity stripe. Also Joining the trojans is Former UTEP forward Efe Odigie. Hailing from Houston, Texas, the 6-9 240 forward spent all three seasons with the Miners, where he played in 66 games averaging 8.7 points and 6.0 rebounds a game. Efe arrived in El Paso as a top-25 player (No. 22) in the state by TexasHoops.com and after averaging 14.2 points and 7.4 rebounds for the Houston Hoopstars during the 2017 summer circuit. The forward joins an already strong frontcourt for the Trojans, including returning senior Nick Stampley, junior Zay Williams, and freshman Christian Turner. The Trojans will open the 2021/22 season at Trojan Arena on Tuesday, November 6 at 7:30 against Carver College and then travel to Indianapolis to take on Butler at the historic Hinkle Field House. The schedule also sees the Trojans making the trip to Florida and playing in the Paradise Classic in Boca Raton before heading to Gainesville to take on the Florida Gators. Before beginning Sun Belt Conference play, the Trojans will host a couple of in-state rivals, including Jacksonville St. and Alabama A&M.
