These words were spoken by his parents the night Carlton Martial made the biggest decision of his life. He had the choice of whether he should follow the safe route and follow in the footsteps of his older brother or risk it all and attend Troy University as an undersized linebacker from the rival town of Mobile, Ala.

Fast forward six years, and the “5-9” linebacker is just 20 tackles from the most tackles in an FBS career. A career that has seen Martial receive three All-Sun Belt First Team nods. One that had the McGillToolen High School graduate as a 2020 Burlsworth Trophy Semifinalist and 2021 Burlsworth Trophy Finalist. And more importantly, one that has made countless memories on and off the field with the Trojan faithful.

Martial’s journey to football started at the young age of three. But the excitement to see him on the ball field started even earlier than that. Despite the small size of Martial, even in his infant years, the future Freshman All-American was a menace off the field to his family and friends. But, at least in the beginning, things were a bit different on the field.

“I was a very aggressive kid,” Martial said. “I was three and would go around hitting people and everything. I just hit people. I would hit my brother and run. And I was kind of a menace. So it had people excited and saying stuff like, ‘oh, I can’t wait to see him play football.’ And then, the first day I went out there on the field, I sat on the ground, and I cried and asked for a snack.”

Luckily, Martial’s first day on the football field was the opposite of a foreshadowing of what was to come. Instead, his father, Philbert Martial Sr., was ready to coach his son to his full potential. From the beginning, his father instilled the hard-working qualities that continue today. Despite the potential blurring of lines between the role of father and coach, Martial emphasized that there was no grey area. It was just black and white.

“He coached me from three years old all the way up to seventh grade,”

Martial said. “He was the same way with everybody, you know, hard nose. He would get it, get into you if he needed to, and be that coach. But he was a father figure to a lot of the players on our team. So, you know, he just always had that mentality. He wanted me to reach my full potential. His mentality is, ‘ I’m going to push you as hard as I can until you get to that breaking point. And then I can bring you back in. But everybody knows all love from him. He’s one of the best coaches I’ve ever had and an amazing father.”

His father wasn’t the only one that inspired Martial on his journey to greatness. His entire family was built for football. They relished in the game and loved every moment of its journey. Specifically, his brother, Philbert Martial Jr., was the physical embodiment of what Carlton wanted to be. His brother went to North Alabama, where he starred on the football field. But, for Carlton, his brother wasn’t someone to just surpass but someone to learn from.

“I try to be exactly like him,” Martial said. “I watch his film even to this day when he was at North Alabama and when he played overseas in the German Football League. I just watch him and pick up on pointers. A lot of people say the younger brother is always better than the older ones because they can learn from them. And that’s what I try to do all my life and doing to this day.”

Despite his father and brother’s ability to compete on the football field, there is one person Martial says ‘takes the cake’ in terms of competitiveness in the family: his mother, Elizabeth.

“My mother is the most competitive person in my family,” Martial said. “She will still play me in any sport. For example, when we play pingpong, things get a little heated. We go back and forth, arguing about sports. She’s completely different, and she’s definitely my backbone. I love her so much.”

When one plays the game of football for six years with a program, there tends to be a plethora of relationships built on and off the field. Among those relationships for Martial is his friend and teammate, KJ Robertson. Their first interaction didn’t go the fairytale way. In fact, they didn’t even get to know each other until years later.

“I remember when I first met him; I just saw this kid walk in,” Martial said. “I was like, ‘who was this big guy?’ He came in, and we didn’t even get to know each other. Years later, I can honestly say he’s one of the

“You can either play it safe, or you can bet on yourself.”

best. One of my best friends and one of the best people I know. There are no words to describe how much of a friend and brother he is to me. I can definitely say that I couldn’t have made it this far in football without him because he’s my leader out there.

The 5-9 210-pound linebacker has had his fair share of doubters when it comes to getting to the next level. One person who initially promoted Martial was current head coach and former linebacker coach Jon Sumrall. It was Sumrall that ensured Martial returned to Troy for one last dance. With two home games remaining in his career, Martial knows the city of Troy will forever hold a piece of his heart.

“It really hit me this week that it’s almost here,” Martial said. “We’ll look up, and this season will be over. But I regret nothing. I don’t want to go back and relive things. I made countless memories with people I consider family that I’ll never forget. I just want to thank everyone. No words can explain what my teammates, family and this city mean to me. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you guys. My family and teammates held me together. They were my backbone. To Trojan nation, I love you. I will always have a special place in my heart for you guys.”

Most student-athletes playing college football don’t expect to play for four schools in five years, but senior quarterback Jarret Doege will admit he has had no ordinary collegiate career.

The FBS active leader in career passing yards and passing touchdowns has only been at Troy since August and never envisioned ending up here, but with the current state of the transfer portal for players, he knew he had to take advantage.

“At the beginning of my career, I didn’t think I’d go to this many schools,” Doege said. “I don’t think anyone really plans to bounce from place to place this long. It was never planned or thought to be something I wanted to do, but everybody has their own journey, and on my current journey, I wouldn’t change a thing.”

It all started in 2017 when Doege arrived on the campus of Bowling Green as a true freshman. He became the first true freshman quarterback to start a game since Brian McClure in 1982 and went on to start five games on the season and threw for 250+ yards four times. In 2018 he started all 12 games for the Falcons, leading the Mid-American Conference in passing touchdowns and passing yards. But Bowling Green would go 3-9, and the coaching staff would be fired, leaving Doege wanting to pursue the lifelong dream of playing quarterback for a Power Five team.

Doege found himself at West Virginia under former Troy head coach Neal Brown for three years from 2019-2021, accumulating national accolades and honors. Despite playing well for the Mountaineers, things didn’t go the way he had planned, but he believes the adversity he has faced has helped him become a better version of himself.

“I’ve just gone through a lot of adversity in my career, and I think that’s just made me stronger mentally,” Doege said. “Going through many hard times at all these stops has made me a better football player and a better person. I’ve learned just how hard I could work, each year pushing myself more, trying to step up my game a little bit more than the last stop, and taking it to another level.”

The trials and tribulations Doege has faced, he has not faced alone. Doege has been around football all his life. From playing at a young age to his father coaching football and then being coached by his brother Seth, family has remained a constant factor in football life.

“Family’s always been a big part of this journey,” Doege said. “My parents have always been really supportive of everything I’ve done. They’ve always been there through all the good times and hard times. My brother is probably my biggest supporter. Anytime I have, football questions, I can go to him, personal questions, I go to him, and he’s always there for me.”

Seth Doege is currently an offensive analyst at Ole Miss but got his start at Bowling Green after a career at Texas Tech, where he was also a quarterback. Jarret worked with his brother to help develop him both as a football player and a man.

“It was a dream come true,” Doege said. “Just playing and having him coach me at the same time was really cool. Outside of football, if I ever needed anything, his house was 15 minutes down the road. I could go to him for anything; having someone like that so far away from home has meant a lot.”

Now at Troy, Doege hopes his football journey isn’t over just yet as he pursues a dream of playing in the NFL. However, Doege doesn’t want this football journey to end as he looks to follow in both his father’s and brother’s footsteps and get into coaching to help other players and their careers just as he was.

“Looking back on my career, I’m happy,” Doege said. I got to play and experience college football, which was my dream. I’ve accomplished a lot and have had my ups and downs, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. I’m just going to play until I can’t play anymore.”

Antonio Showers comes from a big family and grew up in Tucker, Georgia, which is a small suburb of Atlanta. Like many student-athletes, Showers grew up playing multiple sports including wresting and track & field.

However, unlike most football players, it was his mom who got him involved in the sport that he categorizes as, “his first love”.

“My mom actually made me play football,” said Showers. “I was just a kid that would be at the house if I wasn’t playing video games I was just reading, I didn’t go outside very much. She told me to do something and put me in football.”

The oldest of seven children, Showers developed a close relationship with all of his siblings and shows no restraint when he gets the chance to go back home to Tucker.

“I’m very close to all of my siblings I love all of them, and they’re always excited when I come back home. I love seeing them and talking to them on the phone, I love messing with them when I get home.”

The caring nature that Showers developed in high school has taken him to Troy University as a psychology major. The senior takes a lot of pride in caring for not just his teammates, but people in both the Troy and Tucker community.

“I’m a caring person. I might not seem that way to other people but I care about people. If I feel like you’re not having a good day I’ll ask about it. Sometimes people just need someone to talk to, someone to tell them that

they care for them.”

If playing professional football is not in the cards for Showers, who is playing in his fifth collegiate season, he wants to use psychology to grow the game of football by mentoring the youth.

“I want to use it to coach. If I don’t continue to play football I want to use it to coach and use everything I learned in school with psychology along with the things I learned while I was here in football, to coach kids and be a mentor to the younger generation to help them grow in football and in life.”

He isn’t wasting any time, however, as he is already starting to use some of the principals in psychology to affect teammates on the roster already for the Trojans.

“A lot of it is looking at body language and facial expressions. It’s understanding that everyone is human and everyone goes through different things. If I catch someone with not-so-good body language I’ll speak to them.”

Even after moving away from his family, learning new things, and playng football all at the same time, Showers had no hesitation when asked if he would do it all over again.

“Coming in, I kind of expected to play four to five years. I didn’t redshirt, but COVID happened so I ended up getting another year anyways. I love the game, if I could do it over again I would.

Rorrick Steward always wanted to take the field with his baby brother Reddy. While playing at Tuskegee, he promised his mother, Gina, that he would play with Reddy for his last season in college. Gina tragically passed away in early 2022, and Rorrick made sure to make his mom’s dying wish come true.

“I had a good experience at Tuskegee and met a lot of new friends, but I wanted to come to Troy and be we Reddy and honor our mom together,” Steward said.

The path to the Troy roster wasn’t easy for Rorrick, and there was a period where it didn’t look like he would be able to make the team due to an eligibility mistake at Tuskegee. Steward had been incorrectly listed as having played in five games in his last season at the school when in fact, he had only played in one. Following several months of back-and-forth between the schools and Troy providing video evidence disputing his playing time, Steward’s final year of eligibility was granted for 2022.

“It was really hard not knowing how that was going to all shake out,” Steward said. “I really had to work on my patience. At one point, I didn’t think it was going to go through for me, but I just kept praying, and everything finally got in order, and I was able to play.”

The pair shared the same halls at Austin High School for one year, with Reddy a freshman and Rorrick a senior. However, they never were able to share a football field together.

“It’s been a fun amazing experience for real. We played together before, but it was basketball when we were in high school. It was really cool (finally playing with Reddy) because we’re almost the same person. I know his tendencies and those kinds of things. We’re pushing each other harder in the weight room when we’re doing workouts, and it’s just been amazing.”

Steward has gone through a lot of life changes recently. In addition to the loss of his mother earlier this year, he welcomed his son, Saint, into the world two years ago.

“Saint changed my life tremendously,” he said. “I had to step up all of my responsibilities and making sure that I was going on the right path for him.”

The middle child of three brothers, Rorrick gravitated to his younger

brother, Reddy, with the elder Steward sibling six years his senior.

“We were always playing with each other growing up,” Rorrick said of his relationship with Reddy. “We were always play fighting, going outside with each other. It was always me and Reddy growing up.”

The connection between the two and Rorrick’s feelings for his younger brother is evident by their interactions with each other and live every day on the wall inside Troy’s North End Zone Football Facility.

Head coach Jon Sumrall brought a vision for a new display in the facility where each player can display a photo of what family means to them. Some players chose to display their entire families; some their position group and some chose individuals who are important to them.

Steward chose a picture of him and Reddy when they were no more than four to six years old for his display.

“I chose that picture for a lot of reasons,” he said. “It shows how close we are. We got wild hair in the picture and whitey tighties on; it brings back a lot of good memories.”

Steward’s path to college football was not loaded with opportunities as he was overlooked for his size because he only weighed around 170 pounds.

“When I got to Tuskegee, I began working out more and putting on some weight and it all finally came together,” he said.

The Troy program and its players welcomed him with open arms when he arrived on campus for the spring semester.

“When I first got to Troy, I didn’t know anybody but Reddy, but I’ve made so many friends and new people in the short time that I’ve been here,” he said. “Carlton (Martial) and Craig (Slocum) really helped me when I got here and helped me develop a good bond with the team. It really feels like I’ve been here a lot longer than six months.”

Steward received his undergraduate degree in sports medicine at Tuskegee before transferring to Troy and is now working on his master’s degree in sport management. The dream is to still play football once the 2022 season is over and then open his own business or give back to the game he loves so much by coaching.

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.

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.

Under the direction of Marc Davis for the ninth consecutive year, Troy track and field will look to run toward new heights this season.

Over his time here at Troy, Davis has accumulated 18 Sun Belt Conference Champions, All-Conference Perform ers, 78 School Records since 2015, 3 All Americans Recorded top finishes in school history at Sun Belt Indoor and Outdoor Championships for Men and Women over the past four years

The indoor season kicks off December 2 at the BSC Icebreaker Invite for the second consecutive year. The Tro jans will look for another strong start after numerous top-five finishes at last season’s meet.

The Indoor season will take the Trojans to multiple meets in Birmingham, Columbia, S.C., and Winston-Salem, N.C. before the NCAA Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, NM.

Multi-event athlete Ines Garcia is a key returner for the Trojans as she looks `to pick up where she left off at the Sun Belt Indoor Championships after seeing two top-five finishes in the Women’s Indoor Pentathlon. First, in the 60m hurdles, Garcia finished fifth, followed by a second-place finish in the pentathlon 800m run with a time of 2:25.17. Overall, Garcia placed seventh in the event with 3238 points.

The outdoor season begins shortly after the completion of the indoor season, with Troy traveling north to the Tiger Track Classic in Auburn, Ala., on March 17 to kick off the spring.

Last outdoor season, five Trojans punched their tickets to the NCAA East Preliminaries with Javon Osbourne (discus), Julian Martin Rodgers (100m-hurdles), Cole Stewart (Javelin), Marek Taskar (Javelin) all returning this year looking to make it back.

More records will look to be broken this season, as Osburne broke the Troy record for discuss with a 55.64-me ter throw at the War Eagle Invite as a freshman, and Vennessa Frank, Naveyh Frost, and Maya Kelly set the Troy sprint medley relay record at the Penn Relays with a time of 3:54.43. The Trojans will return to the Penn Relays on April 27-29.

Post-season awards are nothing new to Troy track and field. Five Trojans received All-Sun Belt nods, with three returning this season as Osbourne and Stewart landed on the second team, and Alan Johnson ended up on the third team.

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

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.

Now in his fifth season as Troy’s head coach, Rolando Vargas’ roster is filled with players that he has recruited, and the play on the court and the early returns for the 2022-23 season have been strong.

The Trojans, who have seen that roster flip its script with a new look of leadership, competed in five events during the fall season

“I’ve seen some of the returning players step up with the loss of three seniors from last year’s team,” Vargas said. “I’ve liked what I’ve seen from our returners, and our freshmen have come in with a great work ethic. Pelayo Antuna, who is now our graduate assistant, has worked well with the freshmen and watching them play, you can’t tell that they are freshmen.”

Troy freshman Mario Martinez Serrano wasted no time making an impact on the roster as he posted an 8-3 record during the fall, which included battling the nation’s No. 8 player in a threehour, three-set thriller at the ITA Southern Regional Championship. He followed that performance by winning the main draw at the Mercer Gridiron Classic, where he went 4-0 in singles, including a win over All-Sun Belt selection Robert Grinvalds from Georgia State.

Martinez Serrano wasn’t the only Trojan making noise in the fall. Nicolas Simkin wrapped up his play by winning his flight at the UTC Steve Baras Fall Classic, Noah Martens posted a 4-2 record and Francisco Erramuspe went 4-3 across multiple events.

Carles Anton returns after earning First Team All-Sun Belt honors last season as he finished with the best overall winning percentage in the Sun Belt with a 20-5 singles record. Additionally, Vargas was named the United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) Southern College Coach of the Year after the Trojans advanced to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament semifinals, recorded 16 victories and a win over No. 48 Louisiana.
