TROJAN WHEELS

Hailing from Scottsboro high school, DK Billingsley has grown to be loved by “Trojan Nation” from the moment he stepped onto Veterans Memorial Stadium in 2017. Throughout six seasons, the 5-11 running back has grown from one of the most exciting new faces at Troy to a beloved leader on the ballfield.

Initially positioned at quarterback, Billingsley began his football career at 10. Football was a prized possession in the Billingsley household prior to his first snap, but safety concerns kept the future AL.com All-Huntsville Region Offensive MVP off the field. It wasn’t until his uncle Cedric Hayes talked his mother, Bertha, into giving him a chance that his family realized Billingsley’s football talents.

“I was her baby, and I’m the oldest in the family, so she was very hesitant at first,” Billingsley said. “My uncle got me into it when I was 10, and I started in a little league. I turned out to be really good at the game, and my mom said, ‘alright, go ahead and do your thing.’ So, I ended up playing through little league and into high school, and that led to Troy’”

It took two years for his little league coaches to realize the potential for Billingsley at the running back position. When he first began his football career, his coaches wanted to ensure the ball ended up in Billingsley’s hands, so they put him at quarterback. However, it wasn’t until his first practice in middle school that his long-time coach and mentor, Drew McNutt, placed him in his destined position of running back.

“I remember it was my first practice in middle school, and we were figuring out positions for the upcoming season,” Billingsley said. “I told him I was a quarterback, and he looked at me and said, ‘oh no, no, no, you’re not a quarterback. You’re playing running back.’”

Coach McNutt was more than just a coach to Billingsley. Due to tragic events, Billingsley lost his father, Dexter, when he was in eighth grade to epilepsy. From that moment, McNutt stepped into a mentor role and became a necessary father figure.

Despite the passing of his father at such a young age, Billingsley emphasizes that his father is always with him, especially on the ballfield. He also accredits his dad as one of the most fundamental reasons why Billingsley loves the game of football so much.

“Right before my father passed, he was probably as influential as my uncle in getting me into the game of football,” Billingsley said. “I still remember in little league games, leading into high school games, he was always the loudest one in the stands. He had this unique yell, and I would say, ‘yep, that’s my dad.’ Right after he passed, and to this day, I always look up before the first offensive play and give a quick prayer. I always tell him, ‘I know you’re proud of me, and you’re looking down on me. Everything I do is for you, and I will keep our family name strong.’”

Billingsley had been receiving attention since his first snaps on the ballfield, but his explosion onto the scene came in his junior year. One of the names that called out to him was a familiar face in Jon Sumrall for the Trojans.

“Jon originally started coming to my high school a lot, and what made him different was that he wanted to connect with me personally and not just on the ballfield,” Billingsley said. “It all came full circle with him returning to Troy in my final year after he left during my first season. He just understands me as a person and as a player. We have a great relationship and have full trust in each other. You just got to love the guy. He has that mentality that makes you want to run through a brick

“There are a million things I could say about him,” Billingsley said. “He has always been there for me. He would give me rides to practice and help my mom with anything she needed after my father passed. He was so influential to me and my life; it just makes me emotional. He’s just an incredible man.”

wall because you feel invincible.”

In his six years at Troy, Billingsley has accumulated 12 rushing touchdowns and 1,252 yards on 239 attempts. His first touchdown will always be remembered as the day the mantle was handed off against Campbell in 2019 when he found the endzone twice. On Saturday, Billingsley will play in his 44th career game with his biggest fans in the stands, including his mother, two brothers, Maji and Tre, and his long-time girlfriend, Miranda Head.

“It’s a good feeling to look over there and see just one big family cheering for me,” Billingsley said. “I love being able to look over and see them in the stands. It means the world to me, and I cherish it every time I step into ‘the Vet.’”

Raejae’ Johnson has had a long road to Troy since growing up in St. Louis Missouri. The senior is on his third different college after getting started in junior college in California as a player on the defensive side of the ball before switching to wide receiver.

“I went to junior college first. My brother and his wife told me that if I want to play Division I I should go live with them in California. I went to California as a defensive player at first and then went to receiver and blew up.”

After a successful junior college career, it was time for Johnson to take the next step in his college football journey and he made his way to Birmingham, Alabama to play for the UAB Blazers before ultimately transferring to Troy.

“I got a call from coach Vincent because I sustained an injury, then I got a call from coach Brown asking me if I still wanted to play that I had a scholarship. I got to UAB, and I thought it was going to be something different, and it didn’t really work out.”

The culture surrounding Troy football is something that Johnson has experienced before, but not since his time in California at San Mateo Junior College.

“It gives me a junior college feel again with how close my team is. Here, offense, defense, special teams, we are all pretty close. You’re going to have your fights every now and then because that’s what family does, but as far as uplifting, we are getting closer and closer by game.”

One thing that Johnson has always held on to throughout moving all over the country is his passion for his family. “I’m like the golden child, they all keep up with me and I try to keep up with all of them.”

“I am big on family. Family is first for me. Anything I do, I try to keep everyone intertwined and keep my circle close. I’m really close to my brother. My brother is my everything. If I need something, I need to talk about something, or if I just hear something, he’s going to tell

me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear.”

Johnson grew up as a multi-sport athlete, finding success in baseball, football, basketball, and even bowling. He even claims to be better than his brother.

“I’m better than my brother in bowling. I like to bowl, and it’s probably one of my hidden talents. I love to bowl, and it’s a stress reliever for me.”

After football, the St. Louis native has one objective in mind. “Family man. I definitely want my family to be around. I want to coach. Wherever my heart takes me to and if I have kids I want to be like Deion Sanders, and I want my kids to see me, and I don’t want to miss the moment.

With all the conversation surrounding whether or not young athletes should participate in multiple sports or to focus on one objective, Johnson takes a clear stance on what he thinks young boys and girls should do.

“A lot of people say to focus on one thing, but you’ll never get the experience of a multi-sport athlete or get to experience different things. That really does help kids out because if you play baseball you meet different people. The same people don’t play every sport so you can meet different people, make connections and see different things.”

One thing is certain, if the PBA ever comes calling, Johnson will be ready if he can get back to his prime with how well he is able to spin a bowling ball.

“I don’t bowl with all three fingers, I only bowl with two fingers. I twist the ball in my hand with one hand and I spin the ball that way. My high score is 235, and that was only on a good day because my brother was talking smack. I touch 220 consistently back in my prime. We have to get a bowling alley in Troy.”

Kickers are usually built a little differently. And they have to be. They are on the field in high-pressure situations, and if they don’t do their job correctly, it is typically a game-changing event.

Troy senior punter Mike Rivers fits that mold, but not like you might expect. Rivers, who transferred to Troy this past summer after spending the first four years of his career at North Carolina A&T, is as laid back and carefree as they come.

“If something bad happens, you can’t really do anything about it, and if something good happens, you have to keep moving,” Rivers said. “That’s just the way I was taught growing up. My dad would always preach that to me. The next day has to be better than the last.

“You always have to have that mentality that it’s going to be a great day,” Rivers said. “You have to think that you’re the best at what you do because if you don’t, then someone else is.”

Born in Germany, Rivers spent the first two years of his life on a military base before his family moved to Wilmington, North Carolina, where he stayed until college. As an only child, Rivers had to find ways to get out his energy and stay busy.

“Growing up in Wilmington was cool,” Rivers said. “The beach was right there, and I was around my dad mostly and we’d go to the fields a lot to play sports. Wherever there was a patch of grass, we’d find it and play on it – soccer, football, basketball, baseball, tennis, badminton. Outside of that, I’d spend time with my mom having fun; there were a lot of different activities to do – shop, go to the outlets, train, go to the beach.”

He picked up the game of football early in his life and played all over the field from running back to quarterback before moving to the kicking side of things.

“I was an athlete, but I couldn’t take the hits anymore,”

Rivers admitted. “I was playing soccer at the time, and at one of the tryouts, I kicked the football and kind of liked it, thought it was cool, and it became a side thing at first. Then, started really doing it in fourth grade and began to take it seriously.”

An All-MEAC selection at North Carolina A&T, Rivers started four seasons for the Aggies but always believed he could play at the highest level of college football.

“Coming out of high school, I wasn’t heavily recruited because I didn’t put myself out there that much, but I always knew I was pretty good and could play FBS level. North Carolina A&T was my only offer, and I knew after my senior year I wanted to grad transfer and go FBS. I was in the portal for six or seven months, and then the coaches at Troy reached out, and I heard great things about the special teams coaches here. When I came for my visit, it seemed like home and felt like a small Power Five school because of the facilities and everything about the program.”

What’s next for Mike Rivers after football? That’s a great question.

“I guess I haven’t really thought about that,” he said. “I want a girlfriend and to get married, have some kids. I would like to continue my graphic design work because it’s a passion of mine, and it can provide a steady source of income.”

Good thing for Rivers is that those decisions should be a few years down the road, with Sundays a real possibility for his immediate future.

He enters the weekend eighth nationally averaging 46.9 yards per punt this season, is in the top 10 nationally in punts returned (only 9.1 percent) and ranks 15th with a 4.09 hang time.

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.

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

34th year University of Montevallo, ‘67

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 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-

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 Troy Trojans women’s golf team kicked off their 2022-23 season schedule earlier this month at the USA Intercollegiate hosted by South Alabama. Troy scuffled slightly in the season-opening tournment as they finished 11th overall out of the 13 teams in the field.

Newcomers and freshmen stood out after three rounds of golf for the Trojans as first-year player Laura Fangmeyer led the Trojans in Mobile. The rookie shot two rounds of even par and concluded her first collegiate tournament by shooting a 71 to finish one under par for the tournament. She would finish with her first-career top-20 finish by landing tied for 16th.

Troy debuted two other players in the season-opening tournament in Mobile as rookies Jillian Friyia and Samantha Straight earned their first starts as Trojans. Friyia had the second-best round among the five Trojans at the USA Intercollegiate. She shot even par through her first 18 holes before shoot ing a 76 in round two. She would, however, rebound with a 73 after her third round action. Straight had a consistent tournament for the Trojans in her first outing, shooting a 76 in all three rounds for Troy.

The Trojans will look to rebound in their next tournament in early October. Troy will travel to Jupiter, Florida to participate in the Jupiter Women’s Invitational hosted by Florida Atlantic University. This tournament is just two days long and will take place on October 3 and 4.

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.
