Counting its 10 NFL products, Gardner-Webb has
sent a total of 33 student-athletes into the profes-
sional football ranks since moving to senior col-
lege status in 1970 – with players joining leagues
from the CFL to the former USFL, NFL Europa,
and Arena Football League. Harold Wells (pic-
tured) was the named to the AFL's All-Ironman
Team in 2007, and fi nished as the Columbus De-
stroyers' all-time rushing leader before the league
suspended play prior to the 2009 season.
Gardner-Webb has a strong history of sending its
top senior prospects to the nation's traditional
postseason All-Star games, including the tradi-
tionally strong East-West Shrine Game and the
Senior Bowl. GWU defensive end Brian Johnston
(pictured), a 2008 draft pick of the Kansas City
Chiefs, was outstanding during his appearance in
the 2007 Hula Bowl in Hawaii, collecting a pair of
sacks in leading his team to a win.

Steve Patton has averaged nearly seven wins per season in his 13 years with the
Gardner-Webb program, and has the Bulldogs in strong shape heading into his 14th
campaign.
The Oneonta, Ala., native became the first coach in Big South history to record
100 career wins in 2007, and now has 113 victories in his 17 seasons of coaching
on the collegiate level. Patton has recorded a 83-59 record during his 13 seasons at
Gardner-Webb, giving him more wins than any coach to lead the program before him.
Patton led Gardner-Webb to its 10th winning season under his guidance last
season, as the 'Dogs posted a 6-5 mark overall – with two of those losses coming to
Football Bowl Subdivision opponents on the road.
In 2008, The Runnin' Bulldogs sent receiver Dobson Collins to the NFL (San
Francisco), marking the second season in a row that a GWU player had either signed
a free agent deal or been drafted by the league.
Collins and linebacker Jeffery Williams earned All-America honors and Williams
was named Big South Defensive Player of the Year – following up strongly on his
Freshman of the Year Award from the previous season.
In 2007, Brian Johnston earned consensus All-America honors and was drafted
in the seventh round by Kansas City.
Linebacker Mario Brown and corner-
back Cedric McGowan were named
honorable mention All-America by
The Sports Network, Williams earned
Big South Freshman of the Year hon-
ors after setting a new pace with 120
total hits in 2007.
Patton, a two-time Big South
Coach of the Year, directed the 'Dogs
to a 6-5 record in 2006, the ninth
winning season in his 11-year tenure
in Boiling Springs. All five of those
losses came at the hands of teams
ranked at some point during the sea-
son as members of the Division I FCS
top-25 – including national champion
Appalachian State.
The success of 2006 came with
one of the youngest rosters in
Division I, with 74 percent of the
Bulldogs' team holding membership
in either the freshman or sophomore
class. Five of the team's six wins
came against Division I competi-
tion, and Johnston was named Big
South Defensive Player of the Year
and a Division I FCS All-American
by the Associated Press and Football
Gazette. Linebacker Brown and cen-
ter Kris King also earned All-America
honors, with King accepting a roster
spot for the U.S. National Team at the
2007 World Cup of Football in Japan.
Kicker Hunter Smith was named to
the Division I FCS Athletic Director's
Academic All-Star Team, and was highly decorated on and off the field – becoming
the first student-athlete in Big South football history to earn All-Conference honors
in four consecutive seasons.
GWU has played one of the toughest collections of teams in the Big South over the
past six seasons. Of Gardner-Webb's five wins in 2004, two came against teams that
were ranked in the NCAA Division I FCS top-25 at some point during the season, and
four of the losses came against teams who capped top-25 seasons in November. The
same can be said for 2005, as GWU fell in overtime to a top-15 squad, and dropped
two more games to top-10 teams Furman and Hampton.
Patton has forged a solid program, winning 62 games at the Division I level. Since
joining the Big South Conference in 2002, Gardner-Webb has gone 20-13 during eight
seasons of competition – with league titles won in 2002 and 2003 with undefeated
ledgers. During that span, GWU has forged the league's second-best overall winning
percentage.
Notable in terms of the strength of Gardner-Webb's non-conference schedule since
2004 is that 15 of the Bulldogs' last 20 non-league losses have come at the hands of
either top-25 FCS teams or teams from the Bowl Championship Subdivision – includ-
ing a 10-7 loss at eventual top-25 member Georgia Tech in 2008.
During Patton's tenure, 31 GWU players have earned All-America honors. Johnston
and Brown's selections in 2007 made the pair two-time All-Americans, and Cedric
McGowan became the Bulldogs' first corner to earn that distinction since 2004. King
continued that tradition in 2006, and Duvaughn Flagler was tabbed in 2005. In 2004,
Patton saw two players earn I-AA All-America honors, with Harold Wells earning
I-AA National Defensive Lineman of the Year honors from the Football Gazette. The
Bulldogs' 26-20 overtime win over Western Carolina surprised many – and sparked
interest in the Gardner-Webb program locally that helped smash previous single game
and season attendance records at Ernest W. Spangler Stadium. Another 19 Bulldogs
earned All-Big South honors as well, which led the league for the third-straight sea-
son. GWU has seen 101 players earn All-Big South honors since 2002.
Under Patton's guidance, the Bulldogs followed up a surprising run into the
national spotlight in 2002 with another big season in 2003. The ‘Dogs posted an 8-4
record, won all four of their Big South games and appeared in the national top-25 for
three weeks during the ‘03 campaign. Three of the Bulldogs’ four losses came on
the road to teams ranked in the national top-20, and GWU pushed its active home
winning streak to 15 games with an overtime win over current FBS program Florida

International in November.
Mario Williams, Graham Whitlock and Harold Wells each earned some form of
All-America honors at the I-AA level, with Williams earning first-team All-America
honors from The Sports Network. Five GWU players earned All-East Region honors
from The Football Gazette, and the program tied its school record from a year ear-
lier by having 20 student-athletes named to the All-Conference team. Williams was
named Conference Defensive Player of the Year for the second time, and graduate
student Jim Maxwell earned Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year honors from the league.
Following the 2003 season, Maxwell turned his attention to the NFL, signing a free
agent contract with the New York Giants after receiving offers from no fewer than 10
teams – and played in 13 games with the Big Blue. William Andrews, Jr., who became
the school’s career leader in receptions, inked a free agent contract with the Canadian
Football League’s Montreal Alouettes.
In 2002, Patton directed his Bulldogs to what some consider the most successful
season in school history, winning 90 percent of a 10-game schedule that was made
up exclusively of Division I-AA opponents (9-1) and bringing home the school’s
first conference team championship in any sport since Gardner-Webb’s move to the
NCAA Division I level in 2000. Patton saw the Bulldogs capture the league’s inaugu-
ral title in dominant fashion, winning two games on the road and outscoring league
competition by a combined 126-63.
The Bulldogs finished the season ranked in the top-25 of all three major Division
I-AA polls (now FCS), and were among the nation’s most surprising teams – finish-
ing with the second-longest active win streak in the nation (8 games).
A total of 20 student-athletes earned All-Conference honors in 2002, including Big
South Offensive Player of the Year Jeremy Martin, Big South Defensive Player of the
Year Mario Williams and Big South Freshman of the Year Keppy Baucom. Williams
(Sports Network, 3rd Team), Martin (FB Gazette, Honorable Mention), Maxwell
(FB Gazette, Honorable Mention) and Jason Bright (FB Gazette, Honorable Mention)
also earned All-America honors after standout seasons, with Williams finishing
among the top-10 nationally in tackles per game (12.0). Williams was the first Bulldog
sophomore to earn a spot on a major All-American Team since former GWU wide
receiver and NFL draftee Terry Guess in 1994.
In 2001, Patton directed his ‘Dogs to their fifth straight winning season with a
6-4 mark, the first time in school history that the program had seen five straight
campaigns above .500 in football. Senior Tory Atkins became the first Gardner-
Webb player to earn Associated Press I-AA All-America honors, landing
on the organization’s second team at linebacker. The Bulldogs also won the
National Christian College Athletic Association’s Victory Bowl, defeating
Trinity International (Ill.), 54-14, in Boiling Springs. Against I-AA foes, the
‘Dogs were 5-3 – the second straight winning record against I-AA foes since
the move up from Division II in 2000.
Since inheriting a team that finished 2-9 prior to his arrival in February
1997, Patton has posted a 83-59-0 mark.
In the Bulldogs’ first season at the I-AA level in 2000, Patton saw his
team post a 7-4 record (4-3 vs. I-AA foes), including a thrilling, last-second
win over No. 23 New Hampshire on the road. Atkins and Sam Durst each
earned third-team I-AA All-American honors (FB Gazette).
In addition to the 27 All-America players Patton has coached at the
Division I level, former standouts Bo Shannon (1998) and Chris Mintz
(1999) were each named Division II All-Americans following their senior
seasons.
Patton is no stranger to success. Evidence is his 137-94-1 career coach-
ing record. That total includes a 113-82-1 record in 17 seasons at the col-
legiate level, which includes stops as the head coach at Mars Hill College,
North Greenville College and Gardner-Webb.
Patton, 56, made his head coaching debut at Mars Hill in 1985, direct-
ing the NAIA Lions to an 8-3 record and the school’s only outright SAC-8
conference crown. The smashing entrance into the head coaching ranks
earned Patton National Coach of the Year honors and SAC-8 Coach of the
Year honors from his peers. While at Mars Hill, 23 players were awarded
All-Conference honors and current Gardner-Webb offensive coordinator
Joe Pizzo was selected the 1985 SAC-8 Conference Offensive Player of the
Year. Pizzo went on to play professionally with the Cleveland Browns and the
World Football League’s Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks.
Patton’s experience in pro football includes coaching the Charlotte Rage
of the Arena Football League and the Alabama Magic and the Carolina
Storm of the American Football Association. After guiding the Storm to an
11-0 record and an American Bowl National Championship, Patton added
an AFA Coach of the Year award to his trophy case. He coached former
Gardner-Webb All-Americans James Harbison and Rodney Robinson during
his stint as head coach of the Rage. Former Gardner-Webb all-star Charlie
Harbison was also an assistant coach under Patton with the Rage. Harbison is enter-
ing his second season as co-defensive coordinator at Clemson University after a year
in the same role at Mississippi State. Another former Gardner-Webb standout, Jim
Washburn, also coached with Patton in the professional ranks. Washburn, who was
later an assistant coach at South Carolina and Arkansas, is currently the defensive
line coach with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans.
In 1996, Patton returned to the college ranks, taking the head coaching position at
North Greenville (S.C.) College and directing the Mounties’ transition from a junior
college to a four-year program. To no one’s surprise, he was successful, leading his
teams to a 12-9 record in two seasons.
In his final campaign (1996), Patton led the Mounties to a 7-3 record, a national
top-10 ranking and an outstanding offensive season.
North Greenville led the Mid-South Conference in total offense (440 yards per
game) and scoring (31.0 points per game) in 1996. Running back Coco Henderson
and offensive lineman Scott Buchanan were among several Mounties to earn All-
Conference accolades following the season.
Players competing for Patton can expect honors and superlatives to come their
way. In addition to the previously mentioned All-America honors, 166 players have
earned All-Conference selections. With experience as a scout for the Canadian
Football League’s Montreal Alouettes and as a former professional head coach,
Patton has enjoyed success preparing his players for pro football. Canadian League,
Arena League and NFL scouts are very familiar with Boiling Springs, and can be seen
milling through the GWU Football Center, evaluating talent, each year.
Patton began his college career at the University of Alabama before transferring
to Furman. During his time at Furman, Patton competed successfully on the gridiron
and as a collegiate tennis player – while graduating Magna Cum Laude with an under-
graduate degree in History. As a graduate assistant coach with the Paladins, Patton
earned a Master’s Degree in Education in 1979.
During his high school playing days at Oneonta (Ala.) High, Patton earned All-State
honors while competing in football and track before heading to Tuscaloosa.
Patton is married to the former Debbie Talbert of Charlotte, N.C. The couple has
two daughters, Stetson Kay and Shelby Anne.

Joe Pizzo enters his 14th season with the Gardner-Webb football coaching staff
and is in his 10th season as the team’s offensive coordinator. One of the brightest
minds nationally on the offensive side of the football, Pizzo has shown a consistent
ability to field offenses that move the football.
Pizzo's offenses have a history of accomplishing success with balance between
the run and pass, and with the return of All-Big South running back Patrick Hall and
a host of talented receivers, the new quarterback who takes control of the offense in
2010 should have a chance to continue a strong tradition.
Pizzo tutored Stan Doolittle to a first-team All-Big South Conference season in
2009, as the senior led the league in passing yardage and total offense, leading GWU
to 375.7 yards per game as a team and 27.7 points per game – despite games against
two FBS squads. Sophomore receiver James Perry led the league in receptions and
Hall paced the circuit with 12 rushing scores.
GWU averaged a solid 393.0 yards per game in 2008, and saw a pair of receiver
haul in 50-plus passes – as NFL signee Dobson Collins caught 76 and redshirt fresh-
man James Perry III caught 55 – ranking the pair one-two in the Big South statistics.
A balanced unit in 2005 ranked No. 10 nationally by averaging 441.0 yards of total
offense per game – and carved up opposing defenses regularly.
Gardner-Webb's offense has produced effectively and consistently under Pizzo,
finishing near the top of the conference statistics in each of his 13 seasons with
the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs' 414.9 yards per game average in 2002 finished No. 11
nationally in total offense, and led the Big South in total offense, passing offense and
scoring offense. The Bulldogs’ offense also helped the team’s turnover margin rise to
No. 3 in the nation by that season’s end, committing only 13 turnovers (four intercep-
tions, nine fumbles) in 10 games.
In 2004, despite a slew of injuries and inexperience at receiver, the GWU offense
produced 379.4 yards per game – with 236.6 yards coming through the air. The
season finale against power Southeastern Louisiana may have been the team's finest
moment of the year, as a relatively healthy bunch topped the Lions with 52 points and
433 total offensive yards en route to a big win.
In 2003, quarterback Nick Roberts earned first-team All-Big South and third-team
All-East honors after becoming the first signal caller in school history to complete 60
percent or more of his passes – and threw 20 touchdown passes in his first season as
a starter. Roberts finished among the national top-20 in points accounted for in 2003,
and led the Big South in total offense individually. Roberts set a new career-high with
his 2,410 passing yards, moving into fifth on the GWU career passing chart.
Big South Offensive Player of the Year and honorable mention All-America quar-
terback Jeremy Martin finished his career as the second-leading passer in Gardner-
Webb history in 2002, registering 8,025 yards and 60 scores in just three full seasons
as a starter – all with Pizzo as offensive coordinator.
With Campbell, Doolittle, Martin and Roberts Pizzo has tutored five of the top-10
passers in school history, along with former GWU signal caller Clint Conner – who
ranks fourth all-time in passing yardage and passing touchdowns. Another of Pizzo’s
pupils, wide receiver William Andrews, became the most prolific pass catcher in
school history with a solid year in 2003 – finishing his career at No. 15 on the FCS
(formerly I-AA) all-time receptions list with 233. Tight end Jason Bright also earned
All-America honors in 2002 and became the first tight end in school history to leap
into the career top-10 in receptions at GWU. In 2005, receiver Duvaughn Flagler
became the fifth offensive All-America selection for Pizzo at the Division I level,
after catching 55 passes and tying Andrews' Big South record with 13 touchdown
receptions. Flagler finished his career tied for second in GWU history in receptions.
Pizzo's success over the past several seasons has proven his balanced philosophy
to be sound. In 2006, the 'Dogs averaged 264.9 yards via the pass and 176.1 on the
ground. In 2002, Gardner-Webb averaged 222 yards through the air and 193 on the
ground. In 2001, when GWU posted a 10-game average of 440.7 yards per game, the
Bulldogs averaged 250 passing yards per game and 190 on the ground.
In his first season at GWU, Pizzo directed a 1997 offense that averaged 360 yards
of total offense per game and registered over 2,000 yards rushing. Quarterback Clint
Conner passed for 20 touchdowns and 1,874 yards that season while completing 54.9
percent of his pass attempts. Since Pizzo’s arrival on campus, no starting quarterback
has completed less than 50.3 percent of his pass attempts – an impressive statistic.
In 2002, Martin completed an amazing 59.2 percent of his passes, while throwing for
2,166 yards and 17 touchdowns with only four interceptions. In 2003, Roberts was an
efficient 203-for-338 (60.1 percent) for 2,201 yards and 20 touchdowns with only 12
interceptions. Roberts on 57.1 percent of his passes in 2004. Current starter Doolittle
ranks as the Bulldogs' career leader in completion percentage.
Prior to joining the Bulldogs’ staff, Pizzo had spent time as the offensive coordina-
tor under current GWU coach Steve Patton with the Arena Football League’s Charlotte
Rage in 1992 and 1993. He was an offensive assistant at Mars Hill College in 1988
and 1989, handling duties with the Lions’ quarterbacks and receivers. Pizzo played
for Patton at Mars Hill, earning South Atlantic Conference Player of the Year and All-
America honors in 1985. He was inducted into the Mars Hill Athletics Hall of Fame in
November, 2007. Pizzo led the Lions to the 1985 SAC-8 championship and graduated
from the school in 1987 with school records for passing attempts in a single game
(49), touchdown passes in a single season (16) and most total offense in a single
season (2,080 yards). He signed a free-agent contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers
and joined the Cleveland Browns in 1987 – and signed a free agent contract with the
Indianapolis Colts in 1991. Pizzo also spent time with the Detroit Lions, and started
for the Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks of the World League of American Football. Pizzo
and his wife, Dana, have one daughter, Stetson.
Former Bulldog Chris Foster enters his seventh season with the GWU coaching
staff, and will hit the field for the sixth year as a full-time assistant coach in charge
of the Gardner-Webb running backs. Foster is also in charge of monitoring the team's
academic progress throughout the season, and is considered one of the program's top
recruiters on an annual basis.
Foster has been a key factor in the development of All-Big South runner Patrick
Hall, which led to Hall leading the league with 12 touchdowns last season
One of the toughest backs to play for Gardner-Webb, Foster saw Jermaine Boston
earn first-team All-Big South honors in 2005, the first GWU rusher to do so since
Foster in 2002. Boston and classmate George Pressley each finished among the
top-12 rushers in GWU history, with Boston edging Foster for sixth on that chart. Two
of his 2009 graduates – Peoples and Montgomery – are career 1,000-yard rushers,
as is Hall.
One of only two multiple CoSIDA Academic All-District selections in GWU football
history, Foster spent the 2004 season as a volunteer assistant coach with the team's
running backs.
A native of Chesnee, S.C., Foster was a two-time All-Big South Conference choice,
earning second-team honors in 2003 after rushing for a career-high 923 yards. A first-
team All-Conference choice in 2002, Foster finished his career as the No. 6 rusher in
GWU history with 1,883 career yards and 13 career rushing touchdowns – and now
stands seventh on that list.
Foster graduated in December, 2004, with a degree in Physical Education with a
teaching certificate.
Foster and his wife, Tiffany, have one daughter, Journei.

Ian Cooper is in his seventh overall season as an assistant with the Gardner-
Webb University football program, including his fourth in a row after spending a year
with the Arena League's Columbus Destroyers.
Cooper will also serve as the team's special teams coordinator for the first time in
2010, a crucial role he is well suited to handle.
Cooper, 35, is in his second stint with the GWU program, having served as
the team’s wide receivers coach in 2005 and as outside linebackers coach from
2003-2004. He has helped develop some of the top receivers in recent memory at
Gardner-Webb.
Since returning in 2007, Cooper has continued a fine tradition of producing stand-
out wide receivers – including NFL free agent signee Dobson Collins, who also earned
All-America honors in 2008, and rising junior James Perry III, who led the Big South
with 61 catches in 2009, and hauled in 55 balls in 2008.
A native of Calgary, Alberta, Cooper served under Coach Doug Kay in Columbus,
assisting with the Destroyers’ defense during the 2006 season. Cooper helped over-
see a drastic improvement on that side of the football, as the Destroyers improved
from near the bottom of the league’s defensive rankings in 2005 to finish second in
the league in pass defense efficiency, second in scoring defense and fourth in rush-
ing defense. One former Gardner-Webb player, fullback Harold Wells, finished as the
franchise's career leading rusher.
Prior to joining Columbus’ staff, Cooper helped Gardner-Webb rank No. 11 nation-
ally in total offense in 2005, with receiver Duvaughn Flagler earning All-America
honors under Cooper’s guidance. Flagler finished his career No. 2 on the Bulldogs
career receiving list and teamed with Collins to become just the second tandem in
GWU history to catch 50 passes each in a season.
Cooper coached current NFL linebacker Jim Maxwell in 2003 at Gardner-Webb, as
GWU’s defense ranked among the Big South Conference’s best en route to a league
championship. Maxwell, currently playing with the Cincinnati Bengals, recorded 116
total hits, 15 tackles for loss and 16 quarterback pressures that season.
In 2004, Cooper got his first taste of AFL football, serving as defensive coordina-
tor with the Tulsa Talons of AFL2. Cooper also coordinated the defense for the Billings
(Mont.) Outlaws in 2001 and 2002. Billings advanced to the league championship
game in 2001. Cooper’s first stint at Gardner-Webb came after five seasons on staff at
his alma mater, Rocky Mountain (Mont.) College. Cooper earned a degree in Exercise
Science from Rocky Mountain, where he was a four-year letterwinner at outside
linebacker from 1994-1998. He was an All-Frontier Conference choice and team MVP
in 1997 and 1998.
A graduate of Crescent Heights High in Calgary, Cooper is married to the former
Allison Royster. The couple resides in Fallston, N.C.

Kris King is in his first season as a full-time assistant with the Gardner-Webb
University football program, but is very familiar with the Runnin' Bulldogs. He will
coach the team's offensive line in 2010.
King returns to his alma mater as offensive line coach after spending the 2009
season as a video assistant at UAB. King spent the 2007 and 2008 seasons working as
a graduate assistant at Gardner-Webb, assisting with the offensive line and coaching
the team’s tight ends during that time.
He helped current GWU starter Josh Miller earn All-Big South Conference honors
at tight end in 2008 before heading to UAB, and spent two seasons as a graduate
assistant coach with Gardner-Webb.
The Elberton, Ga., native was a four-year starter for the Runnin’ Bulldogs at
tackle and center, earning All-Big South Conference and All-America honors in 2006
at center. King earned second-team All-Big South honors in 2005, despite missing the
final four games of the season with an injury.
Following his playing career with the Runnin’ Bulldogs, King was honored with a
roster spot on Team USA for the American Football World Cup in Kawasaki, Japan –
helping the U.S. squad to a 23-20 double overtime victory in the title game.
He starred at Elbert County (Ga.) High before signing with Gardner-Webb, earn-
ing first-team All-State honors as an offensive lineman following his senior season.
John Windham is in his fourth season with the Gardner-Webb football program
as Defensive Coordinator, building the Runnin' Bulldogs into an annual contender for
top honors in total defense in the Big South Conference.
For the past three seasons, Gardner-Webb has finished first or second in the Big
South Conference defensively, and his units the past two seasons have been particu-
larly tough against the run.
In 2008, Windham's defense was one of the nation's toughest units in stopping
rushing attacks. The group held a league-record six consecutive opponents to less
than 100 yards rushing to start the season, including limiting eventual bowl partici-
pant Georgia Tech to a scant 79 yards and no scores on the ground on October 11.
Linebacker Jeffery Williams earned FCS All-America honors, and was named the Big
South's Defensive Player of the Year. In 2007 GWU led the Big South Conference in
total defense and ranked No. 34 nationally in fewest yards allowed. Defensive end
Brian Johnston, linebacker Mario Brown and cornerback Ced McGowan each earned
All-America honors, with Johnston a consensus choice. Windham spent the previous
11 seasons as head coach at Sewanee, University of the South. He was named the
SCAC Coach of the Year in 2005 after leading his Tigers to a 5-5 record and third-
place finish. Windham’s 2000 team tied for the Division III league’s championship,
which was Sewanee’s first title in eight seasons. Windham saw his Sewanee teams
record a combined 22 interceptions over his final two seasons in 20 games.
A native of Gallatin, Tenn., Windham was a four-year starter at defensive end
for Vanderbilt (1982-85), and graduated in 1986 with a degree in exercise science.
Windham signed a one-year contract with the NFL’s New England Patriots as an
outside linebacker in 1986. An 18-year coaching veteran on the college level, Windham
started his career at Division II Livingston (West Alabama) in 1987 as the team’s
defensive ends coach. Livingston led the strong Gulf South Conference in total
defense that season. Windham moved up to the SEC ranks as a graduate assistant
from 1988-89, working with the offensive line at Mississippi State, then landed his
first coordinator position at Colorado College – where he served in that role from
1990-1995. He was named head coach at Sewanee prior to the 1996 season, and led
the Tigers to a third-place finish in the SCAC in his first year. He and his wife, Heather,
have three children, Maizy, Woods and Judd.
Former Bulldog linebacker Travis Cunningham is in his 10th season on the
Gardner-Webb coaching staff, and remains in charge of the Bulldogs' linebackers,
traditionally one of the team's best position groups.
Cunningham has helped mold that group into one of the nation's best, with Marty
Patterson earning preseason All-America honors in 2010, and Jeffery Williams and
Mario Brown earning spots on several All-America teams as the Gardner-Webb
defense has improved over the past three seasons. Williams, Brown and Patterson,
have earned All-Big South Conference honors under Cunningham's watch – and all
three have been preseason Big South Defensive Player of the Year once.
A young, organized coach with a sound understanding of the game, Cunningham
also coordinates the Bulldogs' recruiting efforts. In 2005, he coached the GWU
safeties, mentoring All-Big South Conference selection Daniel Cooke, who led the
Bulldogs with 99 tackles and four interceptions. Cunningham also coached the
team's linebackers in 2003 and 2004, and spent the 2001-2002 seasons as a student
assistant linebackers' coach when GWU utilized a four-linebacker scheme. During
his time with the Bulldog inside linebackers, Cunningham saw Keppy Baucom earn
All-Big South honors three times in as many seasons, with Baucom leading the 2004
Bulldogs with 90 total tackles. His 2003 unit, spearheaded by Baucom, Jonathan
Little, Adam Wagner and J.P. Weaver, developed into one of the region's most con-
sistent and effective groups. Under Cunningham’s guidance in 2002, Baucom earned
first-team All-Big South honors and was named Big South Freshman of the Year after
leading the league’s rookies with 75 total tackles.
Cunningham, a native of Knoxville, Tenn., played two seasons at Gardner-Webb,
making his mark as a long snapper and as a hard-nosed special teams coverage man.
Prior to enrolling at Gardner-Webb, Cunningham was a standout in football and base-
ball at Powell (Tenn.) High in Knoxville. Cunningham graduated from Gardner-Webb
in August, 2003, with an undergraduate degree in Physical Education. He and his wife,
the former Kelly King, reside in Boiling Springs.

Former Gardner-Webb standout Bryant Foster enters his fourth season as an
assistant coach at his alma mater, and will coach the team's cornerbacks again in
2010.
A versatile coach who played both defensive back and linebacker during his
playing career at GWU, Foster brings experience and strong knowledge to the table.
Foster has cemented a reputation as an outstanding recruiter since his return to
Boiling Springs, covering some of the Southeast's hottest recruiting areas with suc-
cess, and recruiting some of the team's top current talent.
The Chesnee, S.C., native joined the Bulldog staff after spending two seasons as
an assistant coach at Sewanee (Tenn.) College, where he worked under current GWU
defensive coordinator John Windham from 2005-2006.
Foster is a veteran of the high school coaching ranks in South Carolina, having
served as an assistant at Greer (S.C.) High, helping the Yellow Jackets to the 2003
Class 3A State Championship. Foster coached the defensive line and linebackers
at Presbyterian (S.C.) College in 2002, following one-year stints at Chesnee (S.C.)
High and Wade Hampton (S.C.) High. He graduated from Gardner-Webb in 1999 with
a degree in Management Information Systems and was a three-year starter under
Coach Woody Fish and Steve Patton. Foster is the older brother of current GWU run-
ning backs coach Chris Foster.
Bobby Godinez is in his first season as an assistant coach with the Gardner-Webb
University football program, and will be in charge of the team's defensive line in 2010.
Godinez joined the Runnin’ Bulldogs from Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut,
Calif., where he was named co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach in
January 2010.
Godinez served as the defensive backs coach during the 2009 season at Pasadena
City College, helping the squad to a No. 2 ranking defensively within the Northern
Conference against the pass. He also helped coordinate the PCC special teams and
coached a pair of junior college All-America selections. He also served as head coach
at La Varne Lutheran (Calif.) High in 2008, leading the school to a league title and
a No. 8 ranking among California small schools – and directed a squad that led the
league in offense, defense and special teams.
As a player, Godinez played safety at San Jose State under Hall of Famer Dick
Tomey, earning Academic All-WAC honors twice and serving as a captain for the
Spartans for two seasons. He signed a free agent contract with the NFL’s Washington
Redskins in 2006, then founded and operated Optimal Sports Strength & Conditioning
in January, 2007 – training players from the NFL and Major League Baseball.
Godinez graduated from San Jose State with a B.A. in Sociology and a M.A. in
Kinesiology and Sports Management. He and his wife, the former Jennifer Greene,
reside in Kings Mountain, N.C.
Troy Nelson is in his second season as the Director of Football Operations at
Gardner-Webb, handing day-to-day administrative functions of the program – along
with coordinating the team's video exchange and editing operation and managing
team travel and logistics associated with lodging, transportation and meals.
Nelson came to Gardner-Webb after spending 2006-2009 working as a college
scouting assistant for NFL Scouting Services. While there, he helped compile reports
and co-authored the 2007-2009 editions of the NFL Draft Report.
Nelson gained valuable experience through internships with the All-American
Football League in Atlanta and the NFL's New York Jets. Nelson was the Jets' publica-
tions and internet intern in 2005-2006.
Nelson graduated from the University of Georgia in May, 2009 with a Bachelor of
Science degree in Sports Management.

Cody Honeycutt is in his second season as a graduate assistant coach with the
Runnin' Bulldogs, and will assist on the defensive side of the football again in 2010.
The recent graduate played for the 'Dogs from 2005-2008, seeing action at guard,
center and as the team's long snapper during that time.
A native of Mt. Airy, Ga., Honeycutt was a standout on the line at Habersham
Central (Ga.) High before coming to Gardner-Webb. He comes from a football family
– as his father, Robert Honeycutt, played fullback at the University of Georgia.
Honeycutt is currently pursuing a Masters in Business Administration from
Gardner-Webb University's Godbold School of Business.
One of the program's top quarterbacks at any level, Jeremy Martin is in his
second season as a graduate assistant coach at Gardner-Webb.
In that role, Martin will coach the team's tight ends and continue to work with the
Gardner-Webb quarterbacks – a position he is more than familiar with.
The Middletown, R.I., native finished his career as the No. 2 passer in GWU
history, completing 633-of-1,175 passes for 8,025 yards and 60 touchdowns in four
seasons.
Martin earned honorable mention Division I-AA All-America honors from the
Football Gazette in both 2000 and 2001, and was named the Big South Conference's
first Offensive Player of the Year in 2002 as a senior. That year, Martin passed for
2,166 yards and 17 touchdowns with only four interceptions. He passed and threw for
over 100 yards in a win over Elon that season, which saw Gardner-Webb go 9-1, win
the inaugural Big South crown and finish in the top-25 of both major Division I-AA
national polls at season's end. Martin passed for 351 yards and five scores in his final
game in a Gardner-Webb uniform.
Martin's finest hour came as a sophomore, when he engineered a 38-35 upset
of No. 23 New Hampshire on the road on Nov. 11, 2000. Martin passed for a career-
high 403 yards in that contest, including passing for the game winner in the closing
minutes.
Martin was named two-time Gatorade Rhode Island Player of the Year in high
school, starring at Middletown (R.I.) High, before matriculating to Gardner-Webb.
Quinnon Isom is in his first season as a student assistant coach at Gardner-
Webb, and will assist with the defensive line in 2010.
Isom finished his career with the Runnin' Bulldogs on a high note, earning 2009
All-Big South Conference honors after collecting 36 tackles, 2.5 sacks and 4.0 tackles
for loss. The Toccoa, Ga., native was a three-year starter on the defensive line and
also started several games on the offensive line as a sophomore. Isom actually
started on both sides of the ball that season, although not in the same game.
Isom joined the Gardner-Webb program after a stellar career at Stephens County
(Ga.) High.

Dr. A. Frank Bonner, in his sixth year as the president of Gardner-
Webb University, took office on May 2, 2005, and was inaugurated on
April 6, 2006.
Bonner is no stranger to Gardner-Webb, having been a part of the
University family since 1987.
A native of Greenville, S.C., Bonner graduated from Furman University
in 1969, has a M.A. degree from the University of Georgia and earned a
Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
He was a faculty member and Associate Dean at Anderson
College in Anderson, S.C., prior to beginning his career in
Boiling Springs as Vice President for Academic Affairs.
In 1992, Bonner was promoted to provost and senior vice
president at Gardner-Webb, a post he held until assuming his
current role in 2005.
After a comprehensive, national search for the university’s
new president, chairman of the presidential search committee
and the board of trustees, Frank Beam, said, “We came to the
conclusion that we had the most qualified candidate right here
at the university.”
Bonner succeeded Dr. Frank Campbell, who served
Gardner-Webb University as president from October, 2002
until June, 2005.
Active in civic life and in the community, Bonner has
served on the boards of the United Way, the YMCA, and
Communities in Schools, and he serves on the Cleveland
County Sports Commission.
He is a past chairman of the Cleveland County Chamber, a
past president of the Shelby Rotary Club, and a Sunday School
teacher and deacon at First Baptist Church in Shelby. Bonner
is also a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.
During Bonner’s time as provost, Gardner-Webb emerged
as a vibrant institution for higher learning, officially moving from college
to university in 1993. The institution’s academic reputation has steadily
improved during Bonner’s time in Boiling Springs, with a tremendous
faculty and consistently evolving curriculum.
Bonner is married to the former Florence “Flossie” Black of Chester,
S.C., also a graduate of Furman University. They are parents of two adult
daughters and four grandchildren.

Gardner-Webb alumnus Chuck Burch is in his 14th year as Vice
President for Athletics and his 29th year in athletics administration.
The Charlotte, N.C., native spearheaded the Bulldogs move into
Division I athletics, which resulted in Gardner-Webb’s addition to the
Big South Conference as an associate member for football in 2001,
and GWU's move to the Big South as a full member – which became
official on July 1, 2008.
Burch oversees all athletic operations at Gardner-Webb, including
management and supervision of athletic programs, facilities and bud-
gets. During his career at GWU, Burch has overseen across-the-board
improvements in athletics facilities and the addition of five new sports
since arriving in 1997. A sixth sport, men's swimming, was added in
2007-08. Burch is also responsible for continued improvements in
the quality and quantity of Gardner-Webb’s athletics staff – with a
number of full-time positions created to assist and enhance the entire
department.
GWU athletics has seen a steady increase in academic perfor-
mance since Burch's arrival, and the department has posted a com-
bined GPA above 3.0 in each of the last three academic years.
Gardner-Webb's final year in the Atlantic Sun Conference was
fruitful, with several notable wins and the usual high number of strong
academic performances by the Bulldogs' student-athletes.
GWU enjoyed its most successful athletics year as a Division
I member in 2006-07. Gardner-Webb won its first Atlantic Sun
Conference Academic Championship, unseating Belmont University
for the title. The Bulldogs also finished third in the men's and women's
combined sports standings – a very impressive effort in the race for
the inaugural Bill Bibb Trophy.
Gardner-Webb's men's soccer team captured the imagination
of fans across Cleveland County during its run to the 2006 A-Sun
Championship and NCAA Tournament second round. National qualifi-
ers in Track & Field, swimming and wrestling highlighted competitive
success for the Bulldogs in 2006-2007.
Burch, a graduate of Independence (N.C.) High in Charlotte, and
former member of Gardner-Webb’s football and tennis teams, spent
1991-1997 as Director of Athletics at Liberty (Va.) University, and was
instrumental in a successful and well run department in Lynchburg
as well. He also served Liberty as Associate Director of Athletics
(1988-1990), Assistant Director of Athletics (1984-1988), Sports
Information Director (1986-1988) and Assistant Director of Sports
Information (1982-1984).
After graduating from Gardner-Webb in 1979 with a bachelor's
degree in Social Science, Burch, 53, earned his master's degree from
Eastern Kentucky University in 1982. His wife, Franki, holds a Ph.D. in
Health Education from the University of Virginia, and is a member of
the faculty at Gardner-Webb. The couple has three children, Travis, a
2009 graduate of Furman University; Danielle, a junior soccer player
at Brevard (N.C.) College and Amy (16).

An integral part of the entire Gardner-Webb University athletics program,
the Athletic Training Program emphasizes the importance of wellness in
the teams’ pursuit of success. Under the supervision of Kevin Jones, ATC,
and the rest of the Athletic Training faculty and staff, athletic training stu-
dents complete part of their clinical education with the University’s 20 var-
sity sports. Jones and his staff work toward the prevention, treatment and
rehabilitation of athletic injuries. The athletic training students at GWU are
fortunate to have a faculty and staff of nine certified athletic trainers and a
cooperative intercollegiate athletics staff to enhance their learning experi-
ence. The clinical education that is conducted while serving the student-
athletes at Gardner-Webb University allows for comprehensive medical
care in a learning environment. The athletic training educational program
recently completed its full accreditation by CAATE, marking an exciting
moment in the program’s history. Athletic training students are able to
pursue a B.S. in Athletic Training through the Department of Physical
Education and Sport Studies. Upon graduation, athletic training students
must complete a three-part examination conducted by the National
Athletic Trainer’s Association’s Board of Certification to become Certified
Athletic Trainers (ATC). One of the most respected academic majors on
campus, the Gardner-Webb Athletic Training educational program boasts
a growing enrollment and provides students with first-class instruction
and practical experience in their chosen field of study. Currently, Gardner-
Webb graduates are working with NFL teams, colleges and universities,
high schools and physical therapy clinics. After their academic careers
at Gardner-Webb, many students also choose to seek graduate assistant
positions at colleges and universities around the nation.
