Everyone always says that all good things must eventually come to an end. Father time is undefeated in the game of life, no matter the cost. However, it’s the fact that we ultimately lose that game that makes each moment special. For TJ Harris, father time is beginning to capture his inevitable victory. On Saturday, Harris will experience his potential final football game in Veterans Memorial Stadium. At 2:30 p.m., 18 years of blood, sweat and tears will culminate into one last dance for the senior safety.

Harris’s journey began, like many young football players, at the age of six. His cousin, Calvin Harris, brought him into the world of football and introduced Harris to his first love. Although, it wasn’t love at first sight. In the beginning, it was just a game.

“My older cousin introduced me to football,” Harris said. “He used to take me up to the yard and made me do all the drills and stuff to learn the game. I really didn’t know what I was doing at first. I thought I was just having fun and learning this cool game. Little did I know he was getting me ready to play at the next level. Eventually, I found a true love for it.”

For Harris, the journey to college football had its fair share of opportunity and timing. The timing piece was because football arrived just before basketball. Regarding opportunity, it came from a father who took basketball ambitions to the side to provide a chance for his son. Although the calling to basketball may forever be in the back of Harris’s mind, the choice of football remains clear.

“In terms of football, my dad helped me by being a supporter,” Harris said. “He was always there and got me to the right people to help me improve. He wasn’t a football person. He was actually a basketball guy. So, when I played basketball in high school, he coached me. And when it came to football, he let the guys that he knew, knew the game help me out and stayed out of it. So, it wasn’t a hard situation to choose football over basketball because I started playing football earlier. Even

though basketball is my favorite sport, I’m natural at football, and I just love football.”

Sometimes love just clicks at the right time and place. It’s a combination of things that culminate into a moment where you know it’s destined for more. Harris’s love for football competed with basketball and didn’t come until seventh grade when he made a play that would define his life.

“My true love for football came in middle school,” Harris said. “I started playing middle school ball, and I made this one play. I was playing defense and went up over a couple of people and grabbed the ball one-handed. I ended up taking it 50 yards to the house, and I thought, ‘I actually can be good at this game.’”

The love created when Harris first made that catch or when his cousin taught him his first drill raises its final chapter on Saturday when he takes the field for potentially the last time in Troy. As the time inches closer, the feeling of losing something he loves grows.

Harris is one of a plethora of seniors who will walk onto Veterans Memorial Stadium for potentially the final time. The 2021 All-Sun Belt Third Team member has seen the ups and downs of Troy football in his five seasons. But, heading into senior day, Harris knows it was all worth it, and the hard work

“It’s sad when you think about it because it’s the last game in your home,” Harris said. “It is a beautiful place to play with a great atmosphere. I don’t want to think too much about it because it makes me emotional. After all, I’m this close. I only got a little bit of time left on this campus.”

has paid off.

“Even at our lowest points, we would have fans cheering us on,” Harris said. “We deserve this. Those moments had us asking questions like, ‘why are we working so hard?’ But it all came full circle, and it happened at the right time. To go through 18 years of football and to end on a high note like this is so great. And the community deserves it with us. They are family. They would come and support us like a mom or dad would do. It makes you never want to leave.”

Unfortunately, the story may come to an end on Saturday. Fortunately for the 6-1 safety, there aims to be a fairytale ending as the 199-pound from Lee County, Ga., turns 24 just the day before with his entire family in attendance.

“This weekend is going to be emotional,” Harris said. “I’m having a lot of family down here this weekend. It’s going to be a different experience. I’ve never experienced a senior night right after my birthday. I love my family’s support, and I love all of Trojan nation for showing up. It’s going to make for an amazing birthday weekend.”

Orlando Lacey has seen it all as one of the longesttenured Trojans on the football team. He has experienced success and the trial and tribulations of playing football. Lacey arrived in Troy in 2017 but was redshirted and did not see any action on the field. Instead of seeing this as an obstacle, he took advantage to become a better player and person on and off the field.

“Before coming to Troy, I was a big fish in a small pond in high school,” Lacey said. “When I discovered that I would be redshirting, a lot went through my mind. Was I not good enough? Did I do something wrong? As time passed, I trusted the process; I invested in building myself up, getting stronger and faster, and watching more film. Just doing the things to get me better on the field and see more success.”

Troy heavily recruited Lacey out of high school, where he earned Alabama 3A all-state first-team honors as a senior and second-team honors as a junior. He finished his career with 3,597 passing yards and 3,328 yards with 71 total touchdowns in two and a half seasons. In addition, Lacey won the Alabama 3A state championship in the 100m dash. During his time in the cardinal and white, Lacey has played multiple positions, impacting the game both on special teams and at receiver.

Being a part of a class that saw Troy’s last bowl game appearance, Lacey and the rest of the senior class now see that success on the football field again, as they did when they first arrived; winning and competing for championships and bowl games. Despite the ups and downs through the years, football for Lacey has created more than moments on the field but relationships that will last long after he leaves Troy.

“Me and my teammates, we’ve all grown up together,” Lacey said. “We have helped one another become better men both in football and in the community. I see the

success we have experienced as meant to be. Like our book is intended to be written this way.”

Ask any of Lacey’s teammates they will tell you he is a quiet person. But, when they are around him, he’s one of the funniest and most outgoing people on the team who cares for everyone around him.

Outside of football, Lacey is pursuing a master’s degree in communications as he hopes to one day turn to coaching as the next part of his football journey. Lacey still has his sights on his NFL dream, but the impact coaches have had on him at every level of football has made him want to make that same impact on other players.

“Just being able to pass down what I have learned to others is a great opportunity,” Lacey said. “My family has always pushed me to better myself and those around me. They always taught me that it was never a step back but a step for me to get better, and that’s the message I want to instill into other football players.”

As Lacey approaches suiting up for his final home game at the Vet, he knows that he made the right decision to call Troy home and wouldn’t change anything about the time he has spent here.

“I’ve been blessed,” Lacey said. “Troy gave me an opportunity; they shaped me into the person I am today. Through the good and tough times, I was pushed to be the best version of myself. I never envisioned myself to be here as long as I would, but looking back on my journey, it’s a bittersweet moment that I wouldn’t change for the world.”

Growing up in Omaha, Nebraska., Zion Williams finds himself far from home. One thousand twenty-four miles and a 16-hour drive separate Williams in Troy and his family back home. But, as hard as it’s been for Williams to be away from those close to him, he has found a second home here at Troy and a band of brothers that have helped him along the way.

“It was it was hard,” Williams said. “Being a kid from Omaha trying to mix in with kids from Alabama, Georgia, and Florida places where they don’t sound like you or necessarily had the same type of upbringing as you. But coming to Troy has been an eye-opener. I realized everybody is the same; we all have the same love for football.”

That love for football has led Williams to chase his dream and even helped him come to Troy. Williams spent two seasons at Iowa Western, where he was named to the ICCAC All-Region Team before transferring to Troy in 2020. He knew coming down south was a big decision, a decision that his family was fully supportive of and behind him for.

“My mother and grandmother have given me a great support system,” Williams said. “They have been my mentors from the very beginning. They have always known that this was what I wanted to do and have been with me every step of the way. They knew I was destined to do great things and never stopped believing in me.”

Those great things his family refers to are not just his play on the football field but the type of person Williams is in his community and how he impacts everyone he interacts with. Williams wants to pursue his dream of playing at the professional level. He will leave Troy with two degrees, but starting his own non-profit might be his most significant accomplishment yet.

“I want to start my own non-profit called Humble Hearted LLC,” Williams said. “Growing up in my city, there was a lot of gun violence,

and not many of us kids had the proper mentorship. I want to change that and be a leader who can give my community the resources they need to be safe and educated.”

Football can be a grueling sport, both physically and mentally. Everyone needs time away from the game, and Williams is no different. Williams makes sure to focus on himself when not on the football field, studying film, or in the workroom.

“I just pray. I just keep myself trying to keep myself as humble as possible,” Williams said. “I let the music take away my pain, sometimes connect with old friends, just trying to take back the old things that used to haunt me. And face more the things that I think that’s gotten me back to who I really am.”

Williams may not even know you but will want to start a conversation. He cares about everyone he interacts with, and his teammates know his energy is infectious. But what may surprise people the most is that Williams is always trying to make someone become better.

“I’m always trying to be a teacher,” Williams said. “There’s always something others can learn from you and something you can teach to make someone better in anything they do because being a leader is important to me.”

Before life after Troy begins for Williams, he will suit up one final time at the Vet for senior day, a moment he is truly grateful for and won’t soon forget.

“There will be a lot of emotions,” Williams said. “Coming to the end of my football career in college and everything I have experienced just means so much to me. I put so much time and effort into becoming a better person and player. So, for it to be the last game at the Vet, it will be emotional for my family and me. I know what follows will be different and a change for me, but I’m more than ready for whatever comes next.”

Brighten the life of a foster child forever.

Over 5,800 Alabama children are currently in foster care. For some, the duration of their stay lasts only a few days. Others need foster care until they are adopted or reunited with their biological families. All of these children share the need for a caring, committed family capable of giving them the future they deserve. Take the first steps toward becoming a foster parent at dhr.alabama.gov.

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

34th 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.

Now in his fourth year, Troy 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, fundraising, licensing, revenue generation, attendance and season ticket sales and in addition during Jones’ tenure over $40 million has been dedicated to capital projects. Jones leads the department under his W-4 mantra – Winning in the Classroom, Winning on the Field, Winning in the Community and Win ning in the Stands.

Jones currently serves as vice chair for the Sun Belt Conference Athletics Directors, chair of the Sun Belt Conference’s Baseball and Softball committee, the co-chair of the Sun Belt Confer ence’s Marketing, Communications and Brand ing 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.

On the court, the Troy women’s basketball team has won three Sun Belt Conference champion ships and appeared in the NCAA postseason twice (missed one year due to COVID-19), the volleyball team has posted three straight win

ning seasons for the first time in program his tory, the women’s track & field turned in its two best finishes at the Sun Belt Championship in program history, soccer finished second in the Sun Belt in 2019 and the softball team earned an at-large selection into the 2021 NCAA Tour nament – Troy’s first postseason appearance in 25 years. The women’s cross country also posted its best-ever finish at a Sun Belt Cham pionship meet and the men’s basketball team returned to the postseason and won 20 games in 2022 following a six-year hiatus.

Off the field of play, Jones has led Troy Athletics to extraordinary levels as academic perfor mance continues to establish new benchmarks. This past academic year, twelve of Troy’s 16 athletic programs had team grade point aver ages that surpassed the 3.0 mark, with eight of the Trojans’ nine women’s programs hitting that threshold. All told, 57 percent of Troy’s student-athletes finished the spring semester with a 3.0 GPA or greater, while 34 percent of Troy’s student-athletes recorded a 3.5 GPA for the semester and 53 Trojans earned a perfect 4.0 in the spring.

Jones has led the search for five new head coaches during his tenure as Athletics Direc tor with the addition of Jon Sumrall (football), Skylar Meade (baseball), Eric Newell (softball), Robert Lane (soccer) and Forrest Schultz (men’s golf). In Meade’s first season, Troy swept Louisiana (first time in program history) and Indiana and improved its RPI 35 spots from the previous season, while Shultz’s Trojans played nine rounds under par as a team, combined for 50 individual rounds under par, and posted a 97-53-2 record. Last year, Troy had one team round under par, 21 individual rounds under par and a 21-79 overall record.

Troy’s facilities have also been upgraded with more than $40 million dedicated to capital proj ects including the North End Zone facility for football, a massive renovation of Riddle-Pace Field scheduled to be completed in time for the 2023 season. Additionally, Jones has overseen new turf in The Vet, a new sod turf for soccer, 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 ef fort with a new scoreboard and the playing sur faces receiving upgrades, while the Troy Soccer Complex received new turf prior to 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. It was expanded in 2022 and subsequently sold out again.

During the summer of 2020, Jones worked with Troy’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee in the creation of Troy CARES, which operates under the core values: Communicate, Action, Respect, Educate, Social Responsibility. Troy CARES is a program to promote a culture of

collaboration, empathy, inclusivity and respect. The program is designed to unite all members of the Troy Family from diverse backgrounds.

Jones led a renegotiation on Troy’s multime dia rights deal with Playfly Sports, which has increased revenue for Troy Athletics for years to come. Additionally, Troy secured a new partner ship with Affinity Licensing, which significantly amplified Troy merchandise volume in the mar ketplace 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 time at Troy, including record-breaking attendance numbers for Troy football, men’s basketball, women’s basket ball, 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 bas ketball. Troy led the Sun Belt in both men’s and women’s basketball attendance for the 2021-22 season, the first time in program history, and sold the most baseball tickets in more than a decade.

Troy has seen crowds of 20,000-plus at Veterans Memorial Stadium in 22 of the last 24 games (not counting reduced capacity season of 2020). Six of the top nine singlegame crowds have occurred since the start of the 2017 season, and Troy led the Sun Belt Conference in total attendance for the first time in school history in 2018 and ranked second in 2019 and 2021.

The restructuring of the overall athletics depart ment led to increased production across the board including an establishing of best practic es by the internal operations department to best maximize staff and transitioning development to the external operations team, which led to a significant increase in giving and major gifts. Troy’s philanthropic giving increased nearly 70 percent year-over-year from 2020 to 2021, while 2020’s giving was up 17 percent from 2019, and giving hit record-setting numbers in 2022.

Jones launched the Drive to 1887 and Football Excellence Fund over the past 12 months and both fundraising projects exceeded their stated goals ahead of schedule.

In the spring of 2021, Troy Athletics announced a dynamic partnership with DeMarcus Ware which provides Troy University students, fans, employees and alumni with free access to Ware’s D2W fitness app and put officially licensed Troy jerseys with Ware’s name and iconic No. 94 in the Troy Bookstore and online store.

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 trade marks. He served as the sport administrator for the baseball program and oversaw football scheduling.

He is married to the former Tracey Styers and they have two children, son Jaxson and daugh ter Payton Grace.

The Credit Union of Choice for Troy Athletics.

One of the most respected recruiters in the country, Jon Sumrall was named Troy’s football head coach on December 2, 2021. Sumrall returns to Troy after spending three seasons (2015-17) as the assistant head coach on Neal Brown’s staff.

Recently promoted to co-defensive coordinator on Mark Stoops’ staff at Kentucky, Sumrall coached the Wildcats’ inside linebackers for the squad that finished the season with a 10-3 record and ranked as high as No. 22 in the country. Kentucky finished second in the SEC East, marking the first time since the league split into divisions in 1992 that UK ended the season in sole possession of second place in the East. The Wildcats allowed 17 or fewer points in seven of its 12 games in 2021 and held No. 1 Georgia to its second-lowest offensive output of the season.

Kentucky finished with the nation’s No. 25 defense in addition to ranking third in fourth-down defense, 20th in rushing defense and 13th in defensive touchdowns.

During his tenure at Troy, Sumrall helped lead the Trojans to a pair of bowl victories, the school’s first since 2010, the 2017 Sun Belt Conference title, and a stunning victory at LSU. The Trojans won a school-record 11 games in 2017, and the Troy defense ranked first in the nation in red zone defense (.614), second in tackles for loss per game (8.6), seventh in rushing defense (105.3), 11th in scoring defense and 24th in total defense per game (336.6).

In his first season at Troy, the Trojans finished with the second-best turnaround nationally in opponent 3rd-down percentage (14.62 percent), the fourth-best turnaround in yards per play allowed (-1.13), the fifth-best improvement in tackles for loss per game (2.59) and 16th-best improvement in total defense (-62.7).

Troy held opponents to 391.2 yards per game, an improvement of 62.8 yards from the previous season and under 400 yards for the first time since the 2008 season. The Trojans scored five defensive touchdowns, the third-most in the country and most by a Troy team since 2004.

Troy finished the 2016 season 10-3 with a victory in the Dollar General Bowl, the first top-25 ranking in school and Sun Belt Conference history and the best win-improvement in the country. The Trojans finished the year second nationally in passes intercepted, fourth in turnovers forced, 17th in rushing defense, 21st holding opponents to 22.1 points per game and 28th in third-down defense.

Sumrall departed Troy for Ole Miss before the 2018 season and returned to his alma mater in Lexington, Kentucky the following year.

Sumrall oversaw an effective four-man rotation at the middle and weakside linebacker positions in his first season at Kentucky. UK’s defense kept every opponent at or below 30 points, the first time the Wildcats have done that since 1979. UK ended the season with a thrilling win over Virginia Tech in the Belk Bowl, UK’s fourth straight bowl appearance.

Sumrall’s starting linebackers, Jamin Davis and DeAndre Square, were two of the top three tacklers in 2020, combining for 162 total tackles. Davis made a significant impact under Sumrall’s tutelage, making 144 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, five interceptions, three pass break ups, three quarter

back hurries, one blocked kick, one fumble recovery and one forced fumble. He ranked fourth in the SEC in tackles per game (10.2) and was first-team All-SEC by Pro Football Focus and second team All-SEC by Phil Steele. Davis was a first-round draft pick by the Washington Football Team in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Kentucky capped the most unusual of seasons with an impressive victory in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, the program’s third consecutive bowl victory, tying the school record set from 200608. The 23-21 victory over No. 24 NC State also marked the second win over a ranked team in the 2020 season. UK also defeated No. 18 Ten nessee.

Sumrall was a three-year letterwinner at middle linebacker at Kentucky from 2002-04. He started every game in 2004, leading the Wildcats with 72 tackles. He also excelled off the field as he was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll and was selected to the Frank G. Ham Society of Character. After earning his degree in finance in 2005, Sumrall served as a graduate assistant for the Wildcats during the 2005 and 2006 seasons under head coach Rich Brooks.

He left Kentucky in 2007 and spent five seasons under head coach Ron Caragher in various posi tions at San Diego, including defensive coordina tor during his final two seasons. He served as the defensive line coach, recruiting coordinator and camp coordinator for the first three years

before assuming the defensive coordinator and linebackers coaching role in 2010. During his final season with the Toreros, Sumrall was promoted to assistant head coach.

In 2011, the Toreros ranked 15th nationally in run defense (113.0), 13th in pass efficiency defense, fourth in sacks (3.64), and 16th in third-down defense (32.2 percent).

The San Diego defense had numerous players receive accolades. Defensive end Blake Oliaro was named Pioneer Football League Defensive Player of the Year, Associated Press Football Championship Subdivision second team AllAmerican and first team all-conference.

In Sumrall’s first season as defensive coordina tor in 2010, the defense ranked first in scoring defense (16.1), total defense (265.0), run defense (67.1), and third-down defense (31.7 percent) in league play, and was also ranked second in pass defense (197.9).

Following the 2010 season, defensive end Mario Kurn was named a Ted Hendricks Award finalist, Buck Buchanan Award Finalist, first team AllAmerican by Phil Steele and The Sports Network, second team All-American by the Associated Press and first team all-conference.

In 2007, Sumrall coached defensive end Eric Bakhtiari, a 2007 Walter Camp First Team All-American, an Associated Press First Team All-

American, a finalist for the Ted Hendricks Award and was the PFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Before joining the Troy staff in 2015, Sumrall spent three seasons at Tulane (2012-14), where he coached the defensive line the first two seasons before coaching the linebackers his final season.

In 2013, he was a crucial part of Tulane’s run to the New Orleans Bowl as the Green Wave finished second in the nation with 35 forced turnovers. It was Tulane’s first bowl game since 2002 and third since 1988. Tulane finished fourth nationally with 16 fumble recoveries, sixth with 19 interceptions, 22nd nationally in total defense (352.1), 13th in sacks per game (2.92) and 11th in red zone defense (73.5 percent) that year.

Under Sumrall’s tutelage, defensive end Julius Warmsley earned First Team All-Conference USA honors after leading the team with 18.5 tackles for loss. Sumrall also was named a finalist for FootballScoop Defensive Line Coach of the Year along with coaches from Michigan State, Stan ford and Missouri.

The Huntsville, Alabama native was a two-time all-state performer and a four-year letter winner at Grissom High School.

He is married to the former Ginny Nixon, also of Huntsville, and the couple has four children, Sam, Sadie, Stella and Selah.

After a successful first season under head coach Skylar Meade, the Trojans will look to build off their 32-win sea son and an appearance in the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, as Troy baseball has its sights on even more success.

The 32 wins last year were the most by a Trojan team since 2019. Under the pitching expertise of Meade, the Trojans led the Sun Belt Conference in strikeouts totaling 520. In addition, they led the conference in strikeouts per nine innings at 9.5, which was the most in program history, as Meade became the fourth coach in program history to win at least 30 games in his first season.

Renovations to Riddle-Pace Field are well underway and scheduled to be completed by the start of the 2023 campaign when the Trojans kick off the season with seven straight home games beginning with the University of Evansville on February 17.

To go along with the 30, Sun Belt Conference games this season, the Trojans will match up against six teams that made the NCAA regionals last year, with the first team being Columbia, who comes to Troy for a midweek (March 14) for the first-ever meeting between the two programs.

This Trojan team will look a bit different than in years past as new faces are joining this year’s team, including new assistant coach Ethan Landon who pitched collegiately for Michigan State. Meade wasn’t afraid to attack the transfer portal as he brought in right-handed pitcher Zach fruit from Eastern Michigan, Treymaybe Cobb Jr. from the University of Hartford, and Kole Myers from LSU Eunice JC, to name a few.

Key returners are seniors Caleb Bartolero and Clay Stearns, junior Garrett Ganious, and sophomore Brady Fuller. Bartolero Played in 39 games, making 38 starts. He Hit .302 on the year with 468 at-bats, 45 hits, 10 doubles, six home runs, 28 runs batted in, and scored 30 runs. Stearns started 50 games at the catcher position, including 26 straight games behind the dish. He drove in 32 RBIs on 38 hits, 11 doubles, a triple, and five home runs, record ed 10 multiple-RBI games, and led the Sun Belt Conference in fielding percentages.

Gainous, a two-time Sun Belt pitcher of the week last season, led the Trojan pitching staff with five wins, 69 strikes, and a 2.98 ERA in 57.1 innings. In his freshman season, Fuller led Trojan pitchers with 14 starts finishing with a record of 4-3. He had the most innings pitched of any starter, going 69.1 innings with the second most strikeouts with 59.

The Trojans recently wrapped up their fall practice schedule and will have to wait until January to get back on the diamond as a team.

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.

The Troy softball team is entering a new era for their program as Eric Newell has taken over as the head coach at Troy. Newell comes from Auburn University at Montgomery where he won three conference championships and aided the Warhawks through their transition from NAIA to NCAA

DII. The Missouri native has never had a losing season when competing at any level in the NCAA. His AUM career was capped off over the summer after he led AUM to their first-ever appearances at the NCAA DII College World Series.

The 2022 version of the Trojans went 31-21 on the year and 15-12 in Sun Belt Conference action.

Troy was 19-7 at the Troy Softball Complex last year and posted a 5-4 record in neutral site action. The Trojans were able to take down #21 LSU at the LSU Invitational last March, winning 5-4 in the tournament opener. Troy had to fight for their playoff appearence, as they would go 1-1 through the first two days. However, the Trojans bounced back with a win over seventh-seeded Georiga State before falling in a one-run battle to Coastal Carolina 2-3.

This year’s team is highlighted by the return of ace Leanna Johnson and Anslee Finch. In Johnson’s career, she has a 77-32 record with 110 complete games. In 689 career innings of work, Johnson has a career 1.98 ERA and has registered 870 swings and misses. Finch has launched 12 home runs during her career and has driven in 58 of her teammates.
