2017 South Alabama Football Media InformationMEDIA INFORMATION The 2017 South Alabama football media guide is designed to aid members of the media covering Jaguar football. We appreciate your coverage and if there is anything we can do to assist you, please contact the Associate Athletic Director for Media Relations Brian Fremund at (251) 414-8032 or via e-mail at [email protected]. The Athletic Media Relations Offi ce has certain policies and procedures that we ask for you to abide by while cover-ing South Alabama. These are for the benefi t of your needs and those of the student-athletes and coaches. We ask that you please respect these requests in order to maintain a good working atmosphere for all parties involved.

MEDIA RELATIONS OFFICE The University of South Alabama Media Relations Offi ce is located in Room 1209 of the Mitchell Center.

HOME CREDENTIAL REQUESTS The South Alabama Athletics Media Relations Offi ce will issue credentials to WORKING press only. Passes for spouses, children or friends will not be issued. These cre-dentials are non-transferable and any unauthorized use of a credential will result in the pass being immediately revoked. All credential requests should be made in writing — ei-ther on company letterhead or via e-mail — by sports editors or directors of accredited media outlets. Requests should be made no later than 24 hours prior to the start of the desired contest. Credentials can be picked up the day before an event in the Athletic Media Relations Offi ce. Any creden-tials obtained after that time may be picked up at Media Will Call, which is located outside the lobby of the main of-fi ces on the west side of Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Media Will Call will be open approximately two hours before the start of the event. Credential requests can be e-mailed to Fremund.

ROAD CREDENTIAL REQUESTS Working members of the media who plan to cover South Alabama on the road are encouraged to make credential requests through the South Alabama Athletics Media Rela-tions Offi ce.

VISITING RADIO All visiting radio crews can make credential requests ei-ther through the South Alabama Athletic Media Relations Offi ce or through their normal media relations contact. Af-ter the request is made, space will be reserved for the visiting broadcast team. Two courtesy lines and an Ethernet port are available for each team, while additional or ISDN lines are available for a fee.

PHOTOGRAPHERS Only photographers shooting for accredited media outlets or for the South Alabama Athletic Media Relations Offi ce will be issued photo credentials and be allowed on the fi eld. Photographers are allowed to shoot from the 25-yard line through the goal line and along the end zones. No photogra-phers are permitted to shoot inside the team bench area on either sideline. Flash photography is PROHIBITED at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

PARKING Media parking will be available in the parking lot on the west side of Ladd-Peebles Stadium. News stations with uplink trucks MUST provide advance notice when bringing that equipment — satellite trucks will be parked inside the gate by the southwest corner of the stadium.

GAMEDAY SERVICES The South Alabama Athletic Media Relations staff will be on hand to assist all media members covering Jaguar football. All customary gameday services will be available. All working members of the media will be provided with game notes, current statistics, rosters and game programs prior to kickoff. Statistical updates and a play-by-play sum-mary will also be provided at the end of each quarter and at halftime. Power outlets, complementary telephone lines and a wire-less Internet connection are available to all credentialed me-dia members in the press box. The intent of the press box is to provide a working facility for the media, professional scouts and immediate game personnel. Family members, friends, guests and other non-credentialed people cannot be accommodated. Soft drinks, bottled water and a pregame meal will be available in the press box.

PROFESSIONAL SCOUTS Professional scouts may request a single-game credential by submitting a written request via e-mail to the South Ala-bama Athletic Media Relations Offi ce.

PRACTICES The South Alabama Athletic Media Relations staff en-courages coverage of Jaguar football outside of games. As a general rule, the last 30 minutes of all practices are open to the media. There may be instances, however, when all of a practice session is closed. Please contact Fremund in ad-vance if you are interested in conducting interviews and/or attending a practice session, so an escort can be made avail-able.

INTERVIEWS In-person interviews with members of the coaching staff and student-athletes can be arranged by calling or e-mailing Fremund. Interviews with student-athletes MUST be ar-ranged in advance through the Athletic Media Relations Of-fi ce. Players are generally available 30 minutes before prac-tice and immediately following practice. Phone interviews are also available, but will be arranged around the student-athletes’ class and practice schedules. Student-athletes’ phone numbers are not available under any circumstance. All phone interview requests must be made 24 hours prior.

POSTGAME INTERVIEWS After a 10-minute cooling off period, requested players and coaches will be made available to members of the media. The Jaguar locker room is CLOSED both at home and on the road. Requested players and coaches will be escorted by a South Alabama Athletic Media Relations staff member to the designated interview area in the lobby of the main offi ces on the west side of Ladd-Pebbles Stadium. For road games, USA will adhere to the home team’s post-game policies and procedures.

GAME NOTES A set of game notes will be made available before each contest. A copy of these game notes will be placed on the USA Athletic Department web page at www.usajaguars.com before each game and can be downloaded from there. The game notes can also be e-mailed upon request.

PRESS BOX PHONE The press box phone number at Ladd-Peebles Stadium is (251) 208-2677.

Coaches/Staff 2017 South Alabama Football


Joey Jones

Head CoachAlabama ’89Eighth seasonCareer Record: 51-49Record at South Alabama: 48-42

As the only head coach in the history of University of South Ala-bama football, Joey Jones has played a key role in taking the Jaguars from a start-up program to multiple postseason bowls in less than a decade. During that time individual recognition/accomplishments under

his direction are highlighted by: • 43 all-Sun Belt Conference honorees over the last fi ve years; • 16 former players who have gone on to play professionally; • 10 individuals who have signed free-agent contracts with National Football League teams; • 6 former players active in the NFL and Canadian Football League; • 5 individuals who have been invited to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl; • 3 seniors selected to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine

On the fi eld, since becoming a full NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision member the Jags have been invited to a pair of bowl games and been eligible to participate in a postseason contest three times in four years. Overall, Jones has posted a 48-42 record in eight seasons of competition at South and has a 51-49 career mark. In addition to leading the Jaguars to the 2016 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl, Jones helped guide the program to a pair of historic victories the fi rst half of the season. USA began the campaign with a 21-20 win at Mississippi State for its fi rst-ever defeat of a Southeastern Conference opponent, and one month later the Jags picked up their initial victory over a nationally-ranked school following a 42-24 defeat of No. 19 San Diego State. South had one of the best punt units in the country last fall, ranking third nationally in punt return defense and among the top 25 in net punting while leading the SBC in both categories. The Jaguars also had the fi fth-most improved scoring defense in the nation, with the unit ranking in the top fi ve in the league in fi ve statistical categories and among the top 10 in the country in pass defense. Gerald Everett — one of nine 2015 all-conference honorees for the Jags — competed in the 2017 Reese’s Senior Bowl following the season before earning an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine. Facing a schedule in 2014 that did not include an NCAA Football Championship Subdivision foe, featured multiple opponents from the Southeastern Conference and road games against both defending Sun Belt co-champions, Jones helped the Jaguars win six contests for the second year in a row while posting a 5-3 mark in league action. As a result, USA earned an invitation to the inaugural Raycom Media Camellia Bowl — the program’s fi rst-ever postseason bowl bid, the quickest an NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision program has accomplished the feat — where the Jags would battle back from a double-digit defi cit to take a lead with less than a minute-and-a-half remaining before falling in the waning moments of the game. For the second consecutive season, 10 Jaguars earned all-conference honors while off the fi eld both Rush Hendricks and Jesse Kelley were selected fi rst-team Capital One academic all-district; it marked the second time in three seasons that multiple Jags earned the honor. And, 17 members of the program made the Dean’s List after the fall semester while 21 individuals recorded a grade-point average of 3.0 or better during the campaign. The program also set another standard in January 2015 with a record three players invited to participate in postseason all-star games; Brandon Bridge played in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl — the second time in three years a Jaguar has appeared in the contest — with Wes Saxton competing in the East-West Shrine Game the same day and Jerome McClain taking part in the College Gridiron Showcase. Ten Jags were honored on the Sun Belt’s postseason all-league teams for the third year in a row after USA fi nished in the top half of the conference standings once again in 2015, coming within one victory of being eligible to participate in a postseason bowl for the third time in as many years. During the course of the season the Jaguars set school records for points and touchdowns against an NCAA Division I opponent in a 52-45 Homecoming win over Idaho — a game in which USA recovered from a 24-point defi cit —while their 34-27 come-from-behind overtime victory at San Diego State the opening month of the campaign would turn out to be the highest-ranked foe defeated by a SBC school. At the end of the semester, 38 individuals on the roster had recorded a grade-point average of 3.0 or better in the fall including 17 who made the Dean’s List. In 2013, the Jaguars were coming off a 2-11 campaign, playing their fi rst season as an NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision school and were picked to fi nish seventh out of eight teams in the Sun Belt preseason poll; in-stead, they tied for third with a 4-3 mark and won six games to achieve bowl eligibility. For his efforts in guiding the team well above those expectations — USA’s 4½-game win-loss improvement tied for fi fth best in the country — Jones was voted the league’s Coach of the Year. He led the Jags to victories over both participants in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, including a 30-8 defeat of conference co-champion Louisiana-Lafayette in the season fi nale as USA ended the year with a three-game winning streak. And fi ve of the Jaguars’ six losses were decided by seven points or less, with the team advancing into the red zone in the fi nal minutes at Tennessee before falling by a touchdown and three other contests decided in the fi nal seven seconds or later. Following the season, 10 Jags picked up all-Sun Belt honors including four fi rst-team selections. USA gained nearly 100 more yards per outing offensively than the year before, ranking in the top half of the confer-ence with over 425 yards per game, and once again was among the top units in the league on the other side of the ball after fi nishing second in passing, total and scoring defense. Off the fi eld, 34 Jaguars recorded a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher during the season, and Hendricks was a fi rst-team academic all-district selection. In 2012, the Jaguars’ fi rst competing in the SBC, the program had four individuals earn all-league honors paced by fi rst-team selection Jake Johnson, the leading tackler in the conference who guided a unit that ranked second in yards allowed per outing and was fi rst in red zone defense. USA picked up its fi rst-ever Sun Belt victory with a 37-34 come-from-behind double-overtime win over Florida Atlantic Homecoming weekend, while also dropping one-score decisions at league champion Arkansas State and against runner-up Middle Tennessee. At the end of the year, Johnson and B.J. Scott were invited to participate in both the Senior Bowl and NFLPA Collegiate Bowl all-star contests while Trey Clark was honored for his work in the classroom by being the fi rst individual in program history selected to CoSIDA’s Capital One Academic All-America team. In the classroom, 25 Jaguars posted a 3.0 grade-point average or better during the 2012 campaign — in-cluding 12 who made the Dean’s List — with those numbers increasing to 41 and 15, respectively, during the spring semester.

Just 22 months after taking over the reins of the school’s start-up football venture, Jones helped lead the Jags to an undefeated record in its fi rst-ever season on the fi eld in 2009. And not only did USA go 7-0 against a schedule that included four high-level prep programs, two top-20 junior colleges and a qualifi er for the NCAA Division III playoffs, but it outscored the opposition 321-41 while never trailing at any point during the season. The Jaguars’ dominance was seen in all phases of the game in 2009. Defensively, they surrendered only 234 yards per contest, including just 61 on the ground as foes averaged less than two yards per carry. On offense, USA racked up just under 440 yards per outing led by a rushing attack that collected 267 yards per game and better than six per carry. Jag placekickers connected on 83 percent of their fi eld-goal attempts, while the punting unit averaged 42 yards per kick. The Jags would face a tougher schedule that included all four-year institutions in 2010, including four at or on the way to the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly NCAA Division I-AA), but the results would be the same — USA completed a 10-0 season while outscoring the opposition 413-130. The offense once again racked up nearly 440 total yards per outing, though a more balanced unit collected better than 200 yards per game both rushing (232.4) and passing (207.3). Defensively, the Jaguars shut out three opponents and limited two others to a single-digit point total, surrendering just 81 yards per game on the ground and 255 overall. And on the basis of recording 25 takeaways (15 interceptions, 10 fumble recover-ies), USA posted a plus-10 turnover margin. Several areas of special teams play showed signifi cant improvement in year two under Jones, with the Jaguars nearly doubling their punt return average (going from 8.8 per runback in ’09 to 16.0 the following fall) while USA placekickers connected on 17 fi eld goals one year after converting only four. In 2011, Jones led the Jags to a 6-4 mark against the program’s toughest schedule to date, one that included the fi rst two NCAA FBS opponents in school history. The USA defense was among the top 20 at the NCAA FCS level in both pass (10th — 167 ypg) and total (16th — 309.70 ypg) defense, while the Jaguars ranked eighth in the country with an average of 23.91 yards per kickoff return. Jordan Means became the fi rst player in school history to earn All-America honors, while Clark was recognized for his work in the classroom earn-ing academic honors from both the Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Directors Association and the College Sports Information Directors of America). Following the announcement in December 2007 that the school was going to begin playing football, former USA Director of Athletics Joe Gottfried and the head coach search committee laid out their list of qualifi ca-tions for the program’s fi rst-ever head coach which included three key qualities they desired. They wanted to fi nd someone with collegiate experience, someone with ties to the state of Alabama and the Mobile area, and someone with the youthful energy needed to start a program from scratch. As the process continued further and further along, one name continued to rise back to the top — that of Jones. Formerly the head coach at Birmingham-Southern and a native of Mobile, Jones was named as South Ala-bama’s fi rst head football coach on February 15, 2008, culminating a month-long search. Jones, 54, is no stranger to building programs from the ground up at both the high school and collegiate level. He returned to his hometown after two years at Birmingham-Southern, where he was hired in 2006 to restart the school’s football program there. After spending a year overseeing administrative aspects of the program such as hiring assistant coaches, designing facilities and recruiting players for the Division III pro-gram, he led his 2007 squad of 126 freshmen to a 3-7 overall record, including a pair of wins over established junior-college programs. Success has followed Jones throughout his career, both as a coach and as a player. Before moving into the college ranks, he compiled an impressive 125-38 (76.7%) record in 13 years at the high-school level, including a 10-year run at Birmingham’s Mountain Brook High, where he was 101-27 (78.9%) from 1996-05. After inheriting a program that had endured nine consecutive losing seasons, Jones directed the Spartans to the 1996 Class 6A state championship game, four region titles, two semifi nal appearances and three quar-terfi nal appearances during his tenure. In his second season with the Spartans, they won a postseason contest before falling in the second round in overtime, while his efforts helped MBHS reach the quarterfi nals each of the next two falls. Jones led the program to a fi rst-round victory in the 2001 postseason before helping the school return to the state semifi -nals a year later. In 2003, the Spartans reached the quarterfi nals of the state playoffs, while they would go on to reach the semifi nals the next season and win another fi rst-round game in Jones’ fi nal year leading the program. Jones began his head coaching career at Dora High School, where he registered a 24-11 (68.6%) mark in three seasons (1991-93). It took just one year for him to lead the Bulldogs to postseason action, as they won a fi rst round state 5A playoff contest before falling in overtime in 1992, while his efforts took the school to the quarterfi nals the next season. From 1989-90, he served on the Briarwood Christian staff, helping the school to a berth in the quarterfi nals of the state 3A playoffs his fi nal year. A 1989 graduate of Alabama with a degree in business administration, Jones became one of the most be-loved Crimson Tide players during his tenure, which began under the tutelage of legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. In Jones’ four seasons in Tuscaloosa, the Tide compiled a record of 35-12-1 (74%), including two Cotton Bowl appearances. He fi nished his career with 71 receptions, 1,386 yards and 15 touchdowns, ranking fourth on the career touchdown receptions chart and seventh in career receiving yards. As a junior in 1982, Jones had eight TD receptions, which ranks tied for third in UA single-season record book. Jones earned all-Southeastern Conference honors as a senior after hauling in 31 receptions for 468 yards and fi ve scores. He was later selected to Alabama’s All-Decade Team for the 1980s and played professionally with the Birmingham Stallions of the USFL and the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. In April 2011, Jones — who prepped locally at Murphy High School — was inducted into the Mobile Sports Hall of Fame. Jones and his wife, Elise, have three children, Joe Jr.,, Jake and Caroline.

2017 South Alabama Football Coaches/StaffTim Bowens

Assistant CoachRunning BacksAlabama ’00Fourth season

Tim Bowens is in his fourth season on the University of South Alabama coaching staff and will work with Jaguar running backs coach for the the third year in a row. Under his direction in 2015, Xavier Johnson set school season records with 956 yards rushing and fi ve 100-yard games while scoring seven touchdowns and averaging more than six-and-a-

half yards per carry; after ranking among the top 10 in the Sun Belt Conference and top 75 nationally, he received honorable mention all-league accolades. Bowens also helped Tyreis Thomas surpass 500 yards rushing in his fi rst season at the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision as well, with a total of four Jag running backs gaining at least 100 yards on the year with his help. Last year Johnson once again earned all-conference recognition after gaining 831 yards and scoring 10 rushing touchdowns, ranking in the top fi ve in the Sun Belt in rushing, while both Dami Ayoola and Thomas chipped in with 300 or more yards and six scores apiece. His group helped contribute to the team’s 25 touchdowns on the ground, the most since the program moved up to the NCAA FBS level. In the fall of 2014 — his fi rst with the Jags — Bowens served as wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator. His efforts helped Shavarez Smith pick up second-team all-SBC honors for the sec-ond time in as many years, as he led the team with school records of 54 catches and eight touchdowns receiving while posting 748 yards and ranking among the top 10 in the league in receptions per game. Actually, the top three individuals on the team during the 2014 campaign worked under Bowen’s direction, as Jeremé Jones added 36 receptions for 338 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Danny Woodson II supplied 382 yards and four scores on 30 catches. Jones fi nished his career as the school’s all-time leader in receptions and second in receiving yards, while Smith ended up fi rst on the list for yards and third in catches. Bowens joined the Jaguar program after spending two seasons as wide receivers coach at Samford, where his efforts helped the 2013 Bulldog squad become the school’s fi rst to earn a berth in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs since 1992. SU led the Southern Conference in 2013 in both passing (292.8 ypg) and total (415.6 ypg) offense as three of Bowens’ wideouts were among the top six in receiving yards per game. Under his direction, Kelsey Pope caught 68 passes for 789 yards to earn fi rst-team all-league honors from both the league’s coaches and media panel — he would end the year the school’s career record holder with 250 recep-tions — while Karel Hamilton was voted fi rst-team Freshman All-American and to the conference’s All-Freshman Team after adding 38 catches for 657 yards and a team-high seven touchdowns. The effort helped the Bulldogs claim a share of their fi rst SoCon championship since joining the league in 2008 and record a top-20 fi nish in both The Sports Network and coaches’ polls, going 8-5 overall and 6-2 in conference action. In his fi rst season at Samford, Bowens helped Pope earn all-conference accolades after ending up in the top fi ve in the league in receptions and receiving yards per game. Bowens also coached wide receivers at UAB for fi ve years, where he helped Frantrell Forrest reach second on the Blazers’ all-time receptions list. Prior to that, he was tagged assistant wide receivers coach at Alabama in 2006 while Charlie Harbison was sidelined due to injury; that was the last of a four-year stretch on the Crimson Tide staff during which time he also was in roles as assistant director of operations and director of high school/NFL relations. While with the ‘Bama program, more than 30 Crimson Tide players were picked up by NFL squads and 25 were chosen to play in postseason All-Star games. He was a wide receiver at Alabama from 1996-99 — making the Academic All-Southeastern Confer-ence Team his senior year — helping the Crimson Tide to three bowl games and a pair of appearances in the SEC Championship contest. During that time ‘Bama had a pair of 10-win seasons and twice won the league’s West Division title, going on to play in the Orange Bowl Bowens’ senior year after defeat-ing Florida in the SEC title game. After the conclusion of his playing career, Bowens served as a student assistant on the Tide staff in the spring of 2000. The next two years he was the offensive coordinator at Coffee (Ala.) High School before moving on to be head coach at Tanner (Ala.) High; the Decatur Daily named him the Limestone County Coach of the Year in 2002. Bowens — who earned his degree from Alabama in 2000 — and his wife, Kesha, have four children; sons Timothy, Taylor and Tanner and daughter Kallie.

Richard Owens

Assistant CoachCo-Offensive Coordinator/Offensive LineLouisville ’04Third season

Richard Owens is in his third season as a member the Uni-versity of South Alabama football coaching staff, and his second guiding the Jaguar offensive line. This will also be his second year working as co-offensive coordinator. Owens wasted little time making an impact after coming to South in 2015, helping one Jag at his position earn multiple Sun

Belt Conference honors and another who would end up signing with a National Football League team in the spring. After leading South in receptions (41), receiving yards (575), touchdown catches (eight) and total touchdowns scored (12) — marks that tied the school record for touchdown catches in a season, and also ranked among the top 10 in program history for receptions and receiving yards in a year — Gerald Everett was a fi rst-team all-league selection, named to the Sun Belt All-Newcomer Team and added to the John Mackey Award Watch List in the middle of the campaign. With his help, the junior would end the campaign sixth in receiving yards per game and tied for 11th in catches per contest among all tight ends in the country. Following the season, after catching 11 passes for 147 yards as a senior, Braedon Bowman signed with the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars. Last fall, Owens’ unit helped South allow fewer sacks while averaging more passing yards, total yards and points per contest than the 2015 campaign as the Jags qualifi ed for a postseason bowl game for the second time in three seasons. Owens came to USA after three years as a full-time assistant in the state at Alabama-Birmingham, where in his last year with the Blazers he worked with Jaguar co-offensive coordinator Bryant Vincent. He coached tight ends during the 2014 season as UAB averaged more than 430 yards and 33 points per game — both fi gures ranked fourth in Conference USA — to help the program gain bowl eligibility for the fi rst time since the 2004 campaign. Under his direction, Kennard Backman — now a member of the Green Bay Packers organization in the National Football League — earned second-team all-league honors after leading the team with 39 catches while recording 399 yards and three touchdowns, while Everett added 17 receptions for 292 yards and a score and Tristan Henderson added six catches, 50 yards and a touchdown. In 2013, the Blazers averaged nearly 400 yards and more than 26 points per outing with Owens serving as offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach, and he also led the tight ends in his fi rst season with the program. He came to UAB from Arkansas, where he spent two years as a graduate assistant working with Razorback tight ends. His second season, Owens coached a unit that featured Chris Gragg — entering his fourth season with the NFL’s Buffalo Bills — who ended the campaign ranked third on the team with 41 receptions and fourth with 518 receiving yards; not only did he tie for the lead among South-eastern Conference tight ends, he tied for 11th overall in the league in catches per game. The previous season Owens’ group included D.J. Williams, who would go on to become the fi rst Razorback to win the John Mackey Award — given to the nation’s top tight end — after topping the squad with 54 catches for 627 yards and four touchdowns. Williams also won the Disney Spirit Award and was Arkansas’ fi rst Sullivan Award fi nalist in 2010, and after concluding his career with 152 receptions — the second-highest total in the school’s record books and the most by a non-wide receiver — and 1,855 yards, he was selected in the fi fth round, 141st overall, of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers to become the earliest-drafted tight end in program history. Owens played collegiately at Louisville before going on to a fi ve-year career in the NFL during which time he played for the St. Louis Rams, Minnesota Vikings and N.Y. Jets. After sitting out as a redshirt in 1999, he appeared in all 12 contests — starting three times — to be selected to the Conference USA All-Freshman Team at tight end. Owens played in 13 games, recording three catches with two of those going for touchdowns, as a sophomore, while the following season he ranked sixth on the team with 20 receptions for 182 yards after starting six of the Cardinals’ last seven outings and playing in all 13 contests. As a senior, he played in all 13 games with four starts and fi nished his career with 36 catches for 371 yards and eight touchdowns while also serving as the Cardinals’ long snapper. After completing his collegiate career, Owens signed as a free agent with the Minnesota Vikings. He appeared in 53 games between 2004-09 with seven starts, totalling 17 receptions for 141 yards and one touchdown. Owens was with the Vikings from 2004-07 — serving as special teams captain during the 2005 campaign — before signing with St. Louis; after two years with the Rams, he signed with the New York Jets in July of 2009. A native of Middleburg, Fla., Owens played tight end and defensive line at Middleburg High School. After earning fi rst-team all-area honors his high school number was retired in 2006. Owens — who earned his degree in sports administration from Louisville in 2004 — is married to the former Tina Ryan. The couple has one daughter, Rylan.

Kelvin Sigler

Assistant CoachCornerbacksAlabama ’01Second season

Mobile native Kelvin Sigler is in his second sea-son at the University of South Alabama working with Jaguar cornerbacks. Under his guidance last fall, Jalen Thompson fi n-ished his sophomore season ranked among the top

10 in the Sun Belt Conference in both interceptions and passses broken up per game while Jeremy Reaves was a fi rst-team all-league selection after playing the position for two-thirds of the season. Sigler’s efforts helped the Jaguars not only rank in the top 10 nationally in pass defense but among the top fi ve schools in the country in most improved scoring defense. Prior to coming to South, he was as an assistant at Northern Illinois for three years. While with the Huskies, Sigler worked with cornerbacks as NIU posted a 31-11 (73.8%) overall record and a 21-3 (87.5%) mark in the Mid-American Conference, earned three consecutive postseason bowl berths and claimed the 2014 league championship. In 2015, his unit contributed to the Huskies’ conference-leading totals of 22 interceptions and 29 takeaways — both fi gures ranked among the top 10 in the nation — while his efforts helped Shawun Lurry, who led the country with nine interceptions, earn All-America recognition from fi ve different organi-zations. The previous season, Paris Logan was a fi rst-team all-MAC selection under Sigler’s guidance and multiple true freshmen aided as NIU recorded 14 intercep-tions during an 11-3 campaign that saw the program claim the conference cham-pionship game with a 51-17 win over Bowling Green. In his fi rst season with the program, the Huskies picked off 19 passes while going 12-2 with an 8-0 record in Mid-American action. In 2012, Sigler was on the defensive staff at Alabama as the Crimson Tide fi n-ished 13-1 and won the BCS National Championship Game with a 42-14 defeat of Notre Dame. As head coach at Blount High from 2008-11, he led the Leopards to four straight state 6A playoffs appearances highlighted by a 10-2 fi nish in 2011 after earning a fi rst-round victory — it was the school’s fi rst 10-win season since the 1998 cam-paign. BHS posted a 27-18 overall record during that span. Sigler also has experience at two other high schools in the state after serving as defensive coordinator at Bob Jones HS from 2004-07 and as an assistant at Greensboro High the previous two years. After going 3-7 his fi rst season on the staff, BJHS bounced back to fi nish 7-5 and earn a win in the fi rst round of the state 6A playoffs; the Patriots would go on to return to postseason action each of the next two falls as well. His efforts also helped GHS make back-to-back state 4A playoff appearances. Sigler lettered for four years at Alabama from 1995-98, helping the program to a 10-3 mark as a sophomore; the Tide played in the Southeastern Conference cham-pionship game that fall before going on to beat Michigan in the Outback Bowl. He was also part of a squad that played in a bowl game his senior season, while Alabama went 8-3 his fi rst year at the collegiate level. During his career, Sigler intercepted six passes, led the team in tackles as a junior and was one of fi ve per-manent team captains his senior year. A 2001 graduate of Alabama, he and his wife Gemini have fi ve children: Yes-sman, Aubre, Kelvin Jr., Kelsie and Kailyn.

2017 South Alabama Football Coaches/StaffTyler Siskey

Assistant CoachWide Receivers/Recruiting CoordinatorTroy ’00Third season

Tyler Siskey is in his third year coaching University of South Alabama wide receivers and his second as the program’s recruiting coordinator. Two of Siskey’s individuals were honored last fall with Josh Magee picking up second-team all-Sun Belt Conference honors and Kevin Kutchera selected hon-

orable mention all-league after the pair combined to catch 79 passes for more than 1,350 yards and six touchdowns. Magee — who would go on to sign a free-agent contract with the National Football League’s Atlanta Falcons in the spring — ranked among the top fi ve in the Sun Belt in both receptions and receiving yards per game. Siskey’s efforts aided the Jaguar offense’s improvement of four spots or more in the conference in passing yards, total yards and points per contest. After coming to USA prior to the start of spring drills in 2015, Siskey helped Magee become just the fourth individual in the program’s fi rst seven seasons to surpass 500 yards receiving, as he ranked fourth in the nation with an average of 21.91 yards per catch that was the second-best mark in school history with a minimum of 20 recep-tions. Siskey came to South after two years in an administrative role at Alabama. He joined the Crimson Tide program in March of 2013 as the associate director of player personnel before being promoted to the director position less than a year later for the 2014 season. In his role, he was responsible for organizing all of UA’s recruit-ing efforts, helping the program put together the No. 1 signing class in the country that February according to all four major recruiting services. Siskey also worked with compliance regarding initial eligibility, and assisted with coaching clinics, camps and other on-campus events. During the 2012 campaign he was the coordinator of recruiting development at Mississippi, where the Rebels’ 2013 class was widely regarded as one of the top 10 in the nation by analysts and recruiting services. Siskey was the wide receivers coach at fellow Sun Belt Conference member Arkan-sas State for four years, helping the Red Wolves set single-season school records for passing yards, completions, passing touchdowns and passing yards per game during his tenure. In 2011, Dwayne Frampton broke ASU’s single-season reception record and ranked 13th nationally in catches as the Red Wolves fi nished the regular season ranked in the top 25 in the country in total and passing offense. He also has coaching experience in Mobile having served as an assistant for four years at St. Paul’s Episcopal School. Siskey was the Saints’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2007 when the team claimed the state 5A championship, help-ing St. Paul’s advance to postseason play each of his fi rst three years at the school as well; after making the playoffs in 2004, the school moved on to the quarterfi nals each of the next two seasons. Siskey began his coaching career as a student assistant at Troy, where he would go on to earn his bachelor’s degree in 2000. He was an offensive graduate assistant at Northwestern (La.) State during the 2001 season, coaching the team’s tight ends, where he not only helped the Demons to a berth in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs and a national ranking but to a 27-24 overtime victory over Texas Christian. Siskey then joined the staff at Arkansas State as an offensive graduate assistant, assisting with the team’s offensive line his fi rst season and wide receivers the following fall. Siskey, who added a master’s degree in education from NSU in 2003, and his wife Erin have three sons; Jackson, Brock and Knox.

Chase Smith

Assistant CoachTight EndsJacksonville State ’05Fifth season

Chase Smith is his sixth year as a member of the the University of South Alabama football pro-gram’s staff and his second working with Jaguar tight ends. Last season he worked with fi rst-team all-Sun Belt Conference selection Gerald Everett, who in

the spring became the Jags’ fi rst-ever individual selected in the National Football League after he was chosen by the Los Angeles Rams in the second round. Everett concluded his senior season ranked among the top 10 in the league in both catches and receiving yards per contest. Smith also helped Maaseiah Francis record more than 250 yards as well as South tight ends contributed over 1,000 yards to a unit that ranked among the top fi ve in the league in passing and total offense. His previous two years at USA Smith worked with the Jaguars’ offensive line, helping four individuals gain all-Sun Belt recognition on fi ve occasions during that stretch. During the 2014 campaign, Ucambre Williams was voted second-team all-league while Chris May and Melvin Meggs received honorable mention accolades. His efforts in 2015 helped May move up to second-team all-league, with Joseph Scelfo selected fi rst-team all-SBC as the Jags were one of only three teams in the conference to have more than one individual honored on the fi rst- and second-teams. And, three of those student-athletes garnered national attention during the summer leading up to the season with Williams named to the Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List in July 2014, and May and Scelfo both candidates for the honor the following summer. Scelfo also was on the Rimington Trophy Watch List — given to the best center in the nation — prior to the start of the 2015 season. Smith assisted with the line during the Jaguars’ 2013 campaign, working with a USA offense that averaged more than 250 yards per game passing and 425 overall while scoring nearly 30 points per outing. The Jaguar offensive line allowed less than 1½ sacks per contest as well that fall to lead the Sun Belt in the category, and after the season both May (fi rst-team) and Williams (second-team) were named to the all-league team. In 2012, Smith was the program’s director of football operations, while he was a graduate assistant coach helping with the offensive line the previous fall. That season, the Jags — who were in the fi rst of a two-year transition to the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision level — recorded a 6-4 mark against what was then the toughest schedule in program history. He received his bachelor’s degree in 2005 and master’s degree in ’08, both in physical education, from Jacksonville State, gaining extensive experience coach-ing at the high school level in Alabama after earning the fi rst. He began as an assistant working with offensive and defensive linemen on the freshman team at Spain Park High in the fall of ’05, moving on to Greenville HS to work with run-ning backs a year later — the Tigers would fi nish 10-3 while advancing to the quarterfi nals of the state 5A playoffs that season. Smith then joined the staff at Spanish Fort High, where he worked with run-ning backs in 2007, the defensive line from 2008-09 and the offensive line in ’10. During his time on the Toro staff, SFHS put together a 39-13 (75%) mark culmi-nating with the state 5A championship in Smith’s fi nal year with the program. The Toros went 11-2 and advanced to the quarterfi nals of the state playoffs in 2008, reached the semifi nals of the state playoffs the following fall while putting together an 11-3 record prior to winning the title. Smith served as offensive coor-dinator that year as well, which SFHS ended with a 13-2 mark. He and his wife Vanessa have one daughter, Monroe.

Brian Turner

Assistant CoachCo-Defensive Coordinator/Defensive LineTroy ’00Ninth season

The longest-tenured assistant on the University of South Alabama football coach-ing staff, Brian Turner has coached Jaguar defensive linemen since the program’s inception in 2009. He is now entering his second season as co-defensive coordina-tor as well. Under Turner’s direction, the defensive line is one of just two position groups for the Jags that have had at least one individual receive all-Sun Belt Conference recognition each of the school’s fi rst fi ve years as a league member, a streak that has

been bolstered by his work with Randy Allen and DeMarrion Harper the last two years. After making just three stops his fi rst season as a Jag, with Turner’s assistance Allen turned in arguably one of the best performances in program history after he recorded 19 tackles for loss including 12 sacks to rank among the top three in the league in both categories and earn fi rst-team all-Sun Belt accolades. The previous fall, Harper came into the campaign with just fi ve tackles to his credit in two seasons, but at the end of the year he was an honorable mention all-SBC choice after posting 49 stops — including seven for loss — two sacks and a pair of quarterback pressures. Last season, Turner not only impacted Allen’s performance but he helped Tyree Turner record 50 stops, Zach Befort and Chason Milner total the same amount combined, and Finessé Middleton post 8½ tackles behind the line as the Jaguars were the fi fth-most improved unit in the country in scoring defense. His group’s efforts helped USA rank in the top fi ve in the Sun Belt in pass defense, tackles for loss and sacks as well. Turner also helped Tre Alford and Dondre Chanet to increase their tackle totals in 2015 by more than 20 over the previous season after the duo recorded 37 and 21 stops, respectively, while Akeem Lewis contributed a career-best 32 tackles in his fi nal year at the collegiate level. Both Jerome McClain and Jesse Kelley were recognized on the all-Sun Belt teams in 2014. McClain posted a career-best 50 total tackles including three for loss to be named second-team all-league, and Kelley was an honorable mention selection after collecting 56 stops — a total that led the USA defensive line, as well as the second straight campaign he recorded a career-high total — with 6½ behind the line of scrimmage; the latter was among the top 15 in the SBC with fi ve sacks as well. Turner’s work during the ’14 season also featured helping a pair of freshmen, Alford and Caleb Butler, become regular contributors to a defense that ranked fourth in the conference in yards and points allowed per outing while averaging more than two sacks per game. In the fall of 2013, Turner helped the Jaguar defense rank among the leaders in the Sun Belt after allowing less than 385 total yards and just over 25 points per outing — USA was second in both categories — while topping the league with more than three sacks and seven tackles for loss per contest. His efforts helped Montavious Williams rank in the top 10 in the SBC in sacks after posting a career-high four among his total stops, while Kelley recorded then career-best fi gures with 34 stops and 6½ tackles behind the line of scrimmage. McClain also fi nished with 34 total tackles — including 4½ stops for loss and three sacks — in his fi rst season as a Jag behind Turner’s efforts. Prior to the spring of 2013, he worked with the entire defensive line, and in that role he helped Alex Page earn second-team all-Sun Belt honors following the 2012 campaign. Page was honored after posting career highs with 64 total tackles, 11½ stops for loss and six sacks — he ranked among the top 10 in the league in the latter two categories — while as a group Turner’s unit contributed 18 of the team’s 24 sacks. Pat Moore also fi nished among the top 15 in the league in tackles for loss (nine) and sacks (4½), while fi ve linemen ended the season with at least 20 stops. The group played a key role in helping the Jags rank second in the Sun Belt in total defense. Jaguar defensive linemen combined to post 30 of the team’s 67 tackles for loss in 2010 as USA completed a second straight un-defeated season, with Romelle Jones pacing the squad with six, Randon Carnathan and Anthony Taylor supplying fi ve each, and Andy Dalgleish and Williams collecting four apiece; Jones and Taylor would lead the group overall with both posting 19 total stops. Turner’s unit also broke up eight passes, recovered four fumbles and blocked two kicks as USA allowed only 81.2 yards rushing, 254.6 total yards and 13 points per contest. The previous fall, 11 of Turner’s players combined to account for 18 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, helping the Jaguar defense allow under 235 yards and seven points per game while going 7-0 in the school’s inaugural season. Three USA defensive linemen — Taylor, Williams and Jones — paced the group after posting double-fi gure tackle totals, with Taylor tying for fourth on the squad with four stops for loss. In 2011, Jones led the Jags for the second consecutive season with seven stops for loss, while Williams added fi ve and Dalgleish four in helping USA surrender less than 150 yards per outing on the ground while ranking 16th in the country at the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision level in total defense at 309.7 yards per contest. As the program’s recruiting coordinator, Turner’s efforts assisted the Jags in putting together signing classes to help add to the tal-ent level and depth in the program. That has included inking multiple players ranked among the best at their position by Scout, Inc., as well as numerous individuals who have helped their high schools to state championships and deep postseason runs. Before coming to Mobile, Turner had worked the previous fi ve years on the coaching staff at Sun Belt Conference rival Troy. In addition to serving as recruiting coordinator, he spent his last season as coach of the defensive ends after working with the safeties in 2006. A guard and center for the Trojans in the mid-1990s, Turner previously worked with the offense, focusing primarily on tight ends and wide receivers. In fi ve years with the program, Troy compiled a 33-27 (55%) mark overall while going 20-8 (71.4%) in Sun Belt action. The Trojans earned invitations to a pair of bowl games — they were an at-large participant in the 2004 Silicon Valley Bowl, and they defeated Rice 41-17 in the 2006 New Orleans Bowl after receiving the bid as SBC champion — while winning league titles in each of his last two years. During Turner’s playing career, the Trojans posted a 31-6-1 (82.9%) record, including the school’s fi rst perfect regular-season (11-0) in 1995. In 1993, Troy advanced to the semifi nals of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs with victories over Stephen F. Austin and McNeese State, while the 1994 and 1995 squads qualifi ed for postseason play as well. A native of Fort Meade, Fla., Turner began his coaching career as the tight ends coach at Dothan (Ala.) High in 1996. After three seasons on the Tiger staff, he served as a graduate assistant at Troy from 1999-01. The Trojans recorded a winning record all three seasons, posting a 28-8 (77.8%) mark in that span including a 13-1 (92.9%) record in Southland Football League action. Troy won the conference championship in both 1999 and ’00 before moving up to the NCAA Division I-A level his fi nal year; the Trojans advanced to the quarterfi nals of the playoffs his fi rst season as a graduate assistant while participating in postseason play the following fall as well. His fi rst full-time appointment at the collegiate level came in 2002, when he spent a year as offensive line coach at North Alabama before returning to Troy. Turner’s father, Blaine, played football at the University of Tampa and later coached at the high-school level for 30 years. Turner completed his bachelor’s degree in social science in 2000. He is married to the former Kristi Jernigan, an All-American basketball player at West Florida who was inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame; the couple has one daughter, Bryce.

Bryant Vincent

Assistant Head CoachOffensive Coordinator/QuarterbacksWest Alabama ’98Sixth season

Bryant Vincent is in his fi fth season as quarterbacks coach at the University of South Alabama and his sixth with the program overall, and he is begin-ning his third year as the program’s assistant head coach and co-offensive coordinator. His unit was among the top fi ve in the Sun Belt Conference in passing and total yards per game, improving four spots in the league in both categories as well as scoring offense last fall, while moving from 10th to fourth in third-

down conversion percentage. First-year starting quarterback Dallas Davis paced the SBC in total offense under Vincent’s direction, and the trio of Gerald Everett, Xavier Johnson and Josh Magee all earned all-conference recognition with Everett going on to become the fi rst individual in program history to be selected in the National Football League Draft. The 2015 campaign saw Cody Clements become just the second individual in the program’s seven-year history to surpass 2,000 yards passing — he fi nished with 2,272 despite battling injury the second half off the fall — while Johnson set a school season record with 956 yards rushing and Everett another after recording eight touchdown receptions. Clements threw for 13 scores and Johnson rushed for seven — both fi gures among the top fi ve on USA’s season record list — with Magee posting the second-highest season average per catch, gaining 21.91 yards per reception to highlight a unit that saw seven individuals catch 10 or more balls. Everett (fi rst-team) and Johnson (honorable mention) were two of four Jags on the offensive side of the ball to garner all-Sun Belt Conference recognition at the end of the year, with offensive linemen Joseph Scelfo and Chris May named fi rst- and second-team all-league as well. Vincent rejoined the USA coaching staff prior to the Jaguars’ fi rst-ever bowl game in December 2014, serving as offensive coordinator as the team posted 415 yards and 23 fi rst downs with less than 26 minutes of possession against Bowling Green. He was the offensive coordinator at Alabama-Birmingham during the 2014 regular season, and under Vincent’s direction the Blazers averaged 431.83 yards per game including 212.08 on the ground while scoring 33.17 points per outing; UAB earned six victories, gained bowl eligibility for the fi rst time since 2004. The Blazers scored 40 or more points on fi ve occasions, and entered the bowl season ranked in the top 40 nationally in four different statistical categories — rushing offense (31st), scoring offense (37th), completion percentage (33rd, 61.9%) and third-down conversions (38th, 43.2%). Four individuals from his unit would earn all-Conference USA accolades, including fi rst-team selection Jordan Howard who ranked seventh in the nation in rushing and 26th in rushing touchdowns after posting 1,587 yards and 13 scores. Vincent helped Clements rank in the top 30 in the country in passing effi ciency with a 145.55 rating after completing 183-of-275 at-tempts for 2,227 yards and 14 touchdowns in his fi rst season with the program, while tight end Kennard Backman earned second-team all-conference honors after leading the squad with 39 receptions for 399 yards. He coached the position for the fi rst time during the 2012 campaign at USA, and with his help Ross Metheny set school season standards in four different statistical categories after completing 189-of-345 attempts for 2,148 yards and 12 scores while ranking in the top 10 in the Sun Belt Conference in passing and total offense. At the end of the season, Jag quarterbacks combined to set new school season records in completions (244), attempts (449), yards passing (2,728) and passing yards per game (209.8). The next fall, Metheny improved those numbers after going 201-of-324 passing for 2,622 yards and 15 touchdowns, and he added 604 yards and 10 scores rushing to lead the league in total offense with an average of 268.8 yards per outing in earning second-team all-league honors. USA would fi nish among the top four in the conference and top 50 in the country in passing (252.75 ypg) and total (425.50 ypg) offense in winning six games to be eligible for a postseason bowl game. In his fi rst season with the Jags, Vincent worked primarily with tight ends, as his efforts helped Kevin Helms become the fi rst player at the position in the program to fi nish with a double-fi gure reception total after he collected 14 catches for 216 yards; both totals were among the top fi ve on the squad overall. Individually on special teams, several Jaguars ranked among the national leaders at the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision including Scott Garber (17th in punting), Jordan Means (tied for 18th in fi eld goals per game and 69th in scoring) and Jeremé Jones (27th in kick returns), while as a team USA was eighth in the country after averaging nearly 24 yards per kickoff return. Vincent had been a head coach at the high-school level the previous fi ve years before coming to USA, including four at Spanish Fort High School. In addition to leading the Toros to the state 5A championship in the fall of 2010, he was twice named the Baldwin County Coach of the Year following the 2008 and ’10 campaigns. In his second year guiding the program, SFHS fi nished 11-2 and advanced to the quarterfi nals of the state playoffs before falling to the eventual winner. A season later, the Toros advanced to the semifi nals of the state playoffs — where they dropped a 29-28 decision to the ultimate champion — on the way to an 11-3 fi nish before claiming the state title his last season; SFHS ended 2010 with a 13-2 mark. In his fi rst season as a head coach, Vincent led Greenville (Ala.) High to a 10-3 record and a berth in the quarterfi nals of the state 5A playoffs in 2006 one year after the Tigers fi nished 1-9. For his efforts, he was selected the 5A Coach of the Year by the Alabama Sports Writers Association. In fi ve years as a head coach, he compiled a 49-16 (75.4%) overall mark — going 12-3 (80%) in the postseason — which included a 39-13 (75%) record at Spanish Fort High; the Toros fi nished 0-10 the year prior to Vincent’s arrival. Vincent — who originally hails from Glasgow, Ky. — is a 1998 graduate of West Alabama, where he earned a degree in physical education. He got his start in the coaching profession as a student assistant for the Tigers in the fall of 1996, going on to coach UWA’s wide receivers the following season. Vincent, who added a master’s degree from Troy in 2001, and his wife Holli have two sons, Brady and Bret.

During the 2015-16 campaign, 38 members of the program had a GPA of 3.0 or higher in the fall while 37 accom-plished the feat in the spring. A total of 38 student-athletes fi nished with a 3.0-plus GPA the previous fall while competing in South’s fi rst-ever bowl game, including 17 on the Dean’s List, with the total increasing to 42 individuals — highlighted by 15 who achieved Dean’s List honors — with a grade-point average at or above a 3.0 the next spring. Four Jaguars have been voted fi rst-team academic all-district by the Collegiate Sports Infor-mation Directors of America since the program’s inception. Offensive lineman Trey Clark was honored in both 2011 and ’12, becoming the program’s fi rst-ever individual to be selected an Academic All-American by the organization the latter year, with the 2012 campaign also mark-ing the fi rst time multiple student-athletes were named academic all-district in the same season after Alex Page was recognized on the defensive line also.

South set a program record in 2014-15 with 28 student-athletes recognized by the Sun Belt for their work in the classroom during that academic year, with 26 individuals recoignized following the ’15-16 academic year. As a student equipment manager and a graduate assistant, Hewes was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the football equipment room. Those duties included the preparation, distribution and maintenance of team apparel and equipment. Hewes provided inventory levels, assisted with the purchase of apparel and equipment, developed annual budgets, and oversaw the student manager’s hours and responsibilities. His efforts helped the Jaguars record back-to-back undefeated seasons, which included a combined 17-0 record. Prior to coming to USA, Hewes previously served three years as an athletic marketing intern at UAB from 2000-03. In that role, he was responsible for the development and implementation of marketing plans for the men’s and women’s soccer and baseball programs.

Joel Erdmann, Ph.D. enters his ninth year as Director of Athletics, having come to the University of South Alabama to inspire both a winning tradition and academic excellence while making the Jaguar athletic program one of the most successful and nationally recognized programs in the country.

South Alabama Athletics While the University of South Alabama first opened its doors in 1963, the school did not start supporting varsity athletics until the baseball team first took the field in 1965. Since then, Jaguar Athletics has grown to support 17 programs that — beginning in 2013 after a two-year transition to the NCAA Division I-A/Football Bowl Subdivision level — all compete in the Sun Belt Conference. USA Athletics currently sponsors the following sports:

• Baseball (1965)• Menʼs Basketball (1968-69)• Womenʼs Basketball (1974-75)• Football (2009)• Menʼs Cross Country (1976)• Womenʼs Cross Country (1983)• Menʼs Golf (1966-67)• Womenʼs Golf (1985-86)• Menʼs Indoor Track & Field• Womenʼs Indoor Track & Field• Menʼs Outdoor Track & Field (1967)• Womenʼs Outdoor Track & Field (1975)• Womenʼs Soccer (1994)• Softball (2007)• Menʼs Tennis (1965-66)• Womenʼs Tennis (1976)• Volleyball (1974)

And once sponsored:• Menʼs Soccer (1978-98)

The only charter member of the league who has competed in the conference every sea-son since its inception in 1976, the school claimed the Vic Bubas Cup — presented to the program that demonstrates excellence in the leagueʼs now 17 sports — 10 times in a 13-year span beginning in 1988 and has earned the leagueʼs all-sports trophy on 13 occasions after accomplishing the feat in each of the last three years. No school in league history has received the award more than USA.

Jaguar teams have earned 107 league titles — regular season and tournament — in that time. Since winning its first team championship in baseball in the spring of 1978, USA has gone on to pick up titles at least once in each of the following sports: menʼs basketball, womenʼs basketball, menʼs cross country, womenʼs cross country, menʼs golf, menʼs indoor track & field, womenʼs indoor track & field, womenʼs outdoor track & field, menʼs soccer (which was discontinued in 1998), womenʼs soccer, softball, menʼs tennis and womenʼs ten-nis. The school has also had coaches selected the Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year on 76 occasions.

When the league celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2006, 76 former student-athletes were voted to the All-Time Team in their sport including four — František Babej (menʼs tennis), Estelle Gevers (womenʼs tennis), Luis Gonzalez (baseball) and Heath Slocum (menʼs golf) — who were selected the All-Time Athlete. And, Steve Kittrell was chosen the All-Time Coach in baseball as well.

Highlighted by a pair of track and field athletes who have won NCAA titles (David Kimani claimed the cross country championship, and the 3,000- and 5,000-meter outdoor races during the 1999-00 academic year; Vincent Rono was the 2006 outdoor national champion in the 1,500 meters), USA teams have appeared in 77 NCAA Championship events in that time, while individuals have qualified for NCAA postseason action on 239 occasions.

Overall, USA student-athletes have earned All-America recognition 107 times in their sports.

#5 Anthony MostellaOn June 13, 2010, the University of South Alabama lost a member of the football

program when Anthony Mostella passed away near his home of Oneonta, Ala.

Mostella, who would have been a senior in the fall of ‘10, was loved and re-

spected by all his teammates and coaches, someone whose contributions to

the program on the fi eld were exceeded by what he was able to accomplish

away from the game. Voted a team captain in the program’s inaugural season,

Mostella — a running back who came to South Alabama in order to continue

his relationship with head coach Joey Jones — displayed his selfl ess nature

with his contributions on special teams and in the locker room while fellow

teammates racked up more yardage running the ball.

He came to USA and Mobile after playing for Jones at Birmingham-Southern in

2007, sacrifi cing a season of collegiate eligibility in order to help build the Jag-

uar program by taking part in its fi rst-ever spring practice in March and April

of 2009. During that time he would establish himself not only as a leader, but

as an ambassador for the program as it established its roots in the community.

The Jaguars honor Mostella each fall as one member of the senior class will

wear his No. 5 jersey for their fi nal season.

Ladd-Peebles Stadium

When the University of South Alabamaʼs Board of Trustees voted to estab-lish the schoolʼs football program in December 2007, one of the immedi-

ate benefits was that the Jaguars already had a home lined up. Ladd-Peebles Stadium, located near the heart of downtown Mobile, has been hosting foot-ball games since 1948.

Since the announcement that USA will use the facility for its home contests, the stadium has undergone numerous renovations including the addition of 11 suites that currently makes the capacity 33,471. The interior of the stadium was refurbished with an overall paint job in the schoolʼs red and blue colors, as well as the addition of USA banners and signage both inside and out of the facility.

The 2014 campaign saw the Jaguars record their first-ever sellout as a pro-gram-record 38,129 witnessed USA play host to Mississippi State in its home opener on Sept. 13. In October, the Jags defeated rival Troy in a game televised on ESPNU, while a 24-20 home victory over Texas State on Nov. 15 clinched what would turn out to be the teamʼs first-ever postseason bowl appearance.

And when Troy returned to the facility in 2016, the crowd of 30,837 was the second-largest in Jaguar history and the most for a Sun Belt Conference game that year.

In its first-ever season, USA posted a 7-0 mark at the stadium, outscoring the opposition 321-41 while averaging better than 18,000 fans per contest. That included drawing nearly 27,000 for the programʼs debut on Sept. 5 — a 30-13 victory over Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy — as well as a crowd of more than 23,000 for the season finale against Huntingdon (Ala.) College.

Season two saw the Jags once again average more than 18,000 fans while win-ning all seven of their home contests. Highlights of the 2010 home schedule included defeating Nicholls State 39-21 on Sept. 18 in the schoolʼs first-ever game against an NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) op-ponent, and a 39-34 win over Georgia State the last weekend of October that drew a season-best attendance of 23,446.

The Jaguars would extend their home win streak to 19 straight games after claiming their first five games at the facility in 2011. USA brought in over 21,000 fans for its season-opening victory over West Alabama, recording a season-high 24,582 attendance figure for the Jagsʼ 33-30 Homecoming win over Tennessee-Martin en route to posting an average of over 18,000 fans per outing for the third year in a row. The 2012 home campaign was highlighted by a season-best 23,789 in attendance for the programʼs first-ever Sun Belt Conference game against in-state rival Troy — thatʼs the third-highest figure in USAʼs five seasons of competition — while last year the Jaguars defeated both Western Kentucky and SBC co-champion Louisiana-Lafayette at the venue.

In addition to serving as the home of the Jags, Ladd-Peebles Stadium currently plays host annually to the GoDaddy Bowl and the Senior Bowl. The GoDaddy Bowl currently has ties to the Sun Belt Conference and the Mid-American Con-ference while the Senior Bowl — which brings approximately 100 of the top collegiate players to Mobile each January — moved to the Port City in 1951.

The Sun Belt is in its fi fth decade as a vibrant and vigorous part of the collegiate landscape, and has never shied away from tak-ing a leadership role among conferences in its efforts to provide better experiences for its member schools, its student-athletes and coaches, and for its fans and followers. After all, this is the league that inaugurated college basketball’s shot clock and was the fi rst to partner with a fl edgling cable television entity whose ESPN moniker was unknown at the time. Innovation is a great thing, but the just-completed 2016-17 ath-letic season also showed that the Sun Belt Conference takes a back seat to no other league in its competitive balance and in proving itself deserving of its status a member of the NCAA’s highest conference tier. At no time was league athletic success more obvious than during the 2016 football season, when the Sun Belt broke out and fulfi lled much of the promise that league founders and its members envisioned when the league inaugurated the sport just after the new millennium. Last season, Sun Belt members participated in six bowl games, a 50 percent increase in the league’s former high-water mark and only a decade removed from a “one-bowl league” moniker in its formative years. More importantly, Sun Belt teams didn’t just get to bowl games … they won them, again in record num-bers. The league fi nished 4-2 in the postseason, with more bowl wins than leagues such as the Big Ten and Pac-12. Only two leagues (the ACC and the SEC) won more games, and only the ACC’s 8-3 bowl record ranked higher than the Sun Belt’s win-ning percentage. Had ACC member Clemson not won the Col-lege Football Playoff Championship game, the Sun Belt would have shared the country’s best bowl win ratio. The Sun Belt also had the most wins and best win percentage among the “Group of Five” peer conferences, including victo-ries over teams in the two top-rated leagues in the fi nal com-puter rankings. “The bowl season defi nitely validated the very strong regular season that we had,” said Sun Belt commissioner Karl Ben-son. “It proved what we’ve been saying all along. The overall credibility of the Sun Belt is on the rise, and our members and fans that have been expecting to see positive results out of the league are now seeing that.” The postseason wins by Arkansas State over Central Florida in the AutoNation Cure Bowl, Appalachian State over Toledo in the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, Troy over Ohio in the Dollar General Bowl and Idaho over Colorado State in the Fa-mous Idaho Potato Bowl helped the league double its previous single-season bowl victory high (two). Appearances by Louisi-ana in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl – a bowl partner of the Sun Belt for the 16th straight year – and by South Alabama in the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl helped make the Sun Belt a highly visible part of the bowl season. The wins by Appalachian State and Arkansas State on the Dec. 17 start of bowl season meant the Sun Belt had matched its pre-vious record for bowl wins by sundown on opening day. “Our teams stepped up this year,” Benson said. “To go from two bowl games to fi ve bowl tie-ins in a fi ve-year period, for our teams to deliver like they have, and to throw television in there for the huge growth of people watching Sun Belt football, we had a banner year and it all came to a pinnacle in the bowl season.” The bowl success was the crowning jewel of a season full of football successes for a conference that only began the sport in the 2001 season and became the fi rst and still only already-ex-isting league to inaugurate football. The Sun Belt ranked third

in the fi nal conference computer rankings among the “Group of Five” - ranking well ahead of the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA, and giving the league a signifi cant fi nan-cial boost through payouts from the College Football Playoff. The league also moved into third among the fi ve in the four-year average computer ranking of conferences. Troy became the fi rst league school to crack the Associated Press Football Top 25 during the season, reaching No. 25 on Nov. 14 as part of a fi ve-win improvement over 2015. South Ala-bama also provided a milestone with a victory over a national-ly-ranked opponent when the Jaguars topped No. 19 San Diego State on the road in early October. All that success comes as the league fi nalizes its football transi-tion this season, with Idaho and New Mexico State’s football-only memberships ending at the conclusion of the 2017 season and new league member Coastal Carolina becoming a full-fl edged football member this fall. Next year, the Sun Belt will compete in football divisions for the fi rst time and will stage its fi rst-ever championship game at the end of the 2018 season. “We are very excited going forward in football,” Benson said. “Having our championship game next year only increases what we already have going. The footprint of this league was done to ensure long-term success and sustainability, and with the membership structure we now have in Texas, Louisiana, Ar-kansas, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas, that footprint is set up for even more success.” The Sun Belt gained much notoriety and notice during the past football season, but that was by no means the league’s only hallmark during the past year. Men’s basketball – the league’s symbol of success in its formative years – had its highest con-ference RPI in more than a decade with a No. 13 national fi n-ish, and conference members found success in several NCAA postseason events. Those league successes have been more public in recent years, in part because the Sun Belt itself has been progressive and in the forefront of “new media” and internet-based advancement. The league continues to adapt to the ever-changing world of collegiate athletics and continues the process of evolving to better serve its membership, keeping the pledge it made at its founding to be a league of opportunity. Athletic and academic programs who have shown progressive thinking and the desire to improve have always found a home in the Sun Belt. Opportunities also extend to the league’s student-athletes, for whom Sun Belt institutions are leaders in providing career services and the tools to assist in the pursuit of personal goals. Sun Belt members all employ fulltime academic advisors and have on average nearly two dozen tutors for academic support. During the recent 2015-16 academic year, Sun Belt member in-stitutions awarded over $50 million in scholarships to more than 3,100 student-athletes, while also providing life experi-ences such as team building, domestic and foreign travel, com-munity service, mentoring and recognition through honors and awards. Individual opportunities also extend between the lines and on the fi elds and courts of competition. The Sun Belt had 40 players on active NFL rosters during the past season, with representation on 23 of 32 NFL clubs. The league became one of seven conferences nationwide to have back-to-back fi rst-round selections in the NBA Draft when Louisiana’s Elfrid Payton went No. 10 overall to the Orlando Magic in 2014 and Georgia State’s R. J. Hunter was the No. 28 pick of the Boston Celtics the following year. The Sun Belt has nationally-respected programs in nearly every NCAA sport offering and remains a fi xture on the na-tional scene while remaining heavily involved in the conduct and competition of college athletics. But it also provides op-portunities for success on many unique and different levels. In athletic parlance, the Sun Belt has “upside,” and its motto of “Together We Rise” is just as applicable now as when it was founded as a home to some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball programs.

In its very fi rst year, one of those programs reached the pin-nacle of NCAA men’s basketball competition when UNC Charlotte earned a berth in the Final Four. That type of success set the bar very high, but the league’s four-decade history is sprinkled with landmark success in all seasons. In the spring, baseball and softball continue to put the league in the national spotlight with deep runs in postseason play and high visibility in national polls. Louisiana’s baseball team ranked No. 1 nationally in the fi nal third of the 2014 season and reached the NCAA Super Regional round in 2014 and 2015, while its softball team has advanced to Super Regional play fi ve times in the last six seasons including a trip to the 2014 Women’s College World Series. More recently, new member Coastal Carolina reigned supreme at the pinnacle of college baseball, winning the College World Series only one year ago in the 2016 season. Just as important as on-fi eld success, the Sun Belt’s commit-ment to academic excellence remains a league symbol. The league’s record book for grade-point averages and academic honors is a constantly-changing document, seemingly with each year’s success outdoing the previous year. This past spring, a record 23 league programs were recognized for out-standing performance in the classroom, with those teams earn-ing NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR scores in the top 10 percent nationally. It was the third consecutive year the Sun Belt has broken its record for teams honored. The strength of any league is its membership, and the Sun Belt added to its strength when Coastal Carolina joined in all sports except football in July 2016. CCU is in the middle of a transi-tion to the Football Bowl Subdivision and will be in its fi rst year of full FBS membership in 2018, but will compete for the Sun Belt football championship this season even though not eligible for postseason play until 2018. Coastal joins Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Louisiana, ULM, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy to give the league 10 football members and enable the Sun Belt to inaugurate divisional football play and stage a conference championship game in 2018. Little Rock and UTA compete as Sun Belt members in all sports other than football, helping give the conference a mix of the “old” and the “new.” Long-time league members, including charter member South Alabama’s distinction in being a Sun Belt member since its founding in 1976, continue to have success, and a solid corps of conference newcomers continue to make their marks on league and national levels. The “old” and “new” mix also gives the league vitality and diversity among its membership across the South. The mix of regions and regional cultures provides a rare opportunity for student-athletes and staffers to experience many environ-ments, and the chance to experience that diversity without leaving their own campuses. The Sun Belt is also noteworthy for its attempts to make each of its championship events in ev-ery sport a special moment in the lives of its student-athletes and its many fans and followers. Many individuals from Sun Belt institutions have brought distinction to their alma maters, and not just in athletics. For every All-Pro linebacker DeMarcus Ware (Troy) and NFL Man of the Year Charles Tillman (Louisiana), and for every World Series MVP David Freese (South Alabama) hailing from Sun Belt schools, there are also U.S. presidents (Lyndon Johnson, Texas State), business icons (Chick-fi l-A president Daniel Cathy, Georgia Southern), nationally known entertainers (Tim McGraw, ULM and Ludacris, Georgia State), and even royalty (Miss America Debbye Turner, Arkansas State). These proud alumni, as well as those who represent the dozen league institutions, are proof that the Sun Belt Conference is a league of excitement, a league of opportunity, and one that continues to provide the promise of success with each coming sunrise.
