2009 TEAM INFORMATION

SCHEDULE / QUICK FACTS

3

With 18 returning starters, including nine on each side of the football, the North Carolina Central University Eagles enter their third season of NCAA Division I-FCS competition with excitement and optimism.

Third-year NCCU head football coach Mose Rison will lead the Eagles against a challenging slate of opponents in 2009, including national FCS power Appalachian State and the program’s first Bowl Championship Subdivision foe Duke University.

NCCU posted a 4-7 overall record during the 2008 campaign, but the Eagles finished strong with three victories in the final four games of the season.

Of the 18 returning starters, five will be seniors (4 offense, 1 defense), nine juniors (3 offense, 6 defense) and four sophomores (2 offense, 2 defense). And while the wealth of returning starters is comforting, there will be much competition for the starting roles between the returners, several red-shirt freshmen and a highly-touted recruiting class.

OFFENSE:When NCCU has the ball, Rison will look to 33 Eagles with playing

experience, including 16 who were in the starting lineup at some point a year ago. “Unlike in years past, we do have returning starters and people who have played on offense,” Rison said. “They will be comfortable. They will not be shell-shocked playing in their first game.”

The key to any productive offensive unit is a solid front line. The Eagles welcome the return of four starters and a host of other experienced and talented linemen. “We are going to line up with some experience, size and athleticism up front,” Rison said.

Leading the front men is a pair of senior tackles, Gabriel Manns (6-6, 305, Winston-Salem, N.C.) and Eric Stanley (6-5, 347, Sterling, Va.). Manns is a three-year starter with loads of experience, athleticism and potential to get even better. “‘Gabe’ has all of the intangibles of being one of the best offensive linemen here at NCCU,” Rison said. “I have watched him grow and get better and better each year.”

Stanley has started as a guard for the past two seasons, but will move to the right tackle spot to firm up the outside protection. “Every time Stanley lines up to play, he takes it personally,” Rison said.

Holding down the middle is junior center James Frye (6-2, 323, Catawba, N.C.). “He is the glue… our anchor,” Rison said. “Good size and very athletic. He’s nasty!”

The question mark on the offensive line is at the guard position. “We will have some quality candidates,” said Rison, mentioning a few names like Timothy Charity (Jr., 6-0, 270, Manteo, N.C.), Mario Brice (Jr., 5-11, 296, Rock Hill, S.C.), Tamiko Kelly (Jr., 6-2, 316, Forest City, N.C.), and Alex Johnson (So., 6-2, 292, Monroe, N.C.). “The cupboard is not bare.”

The highest profile battle for the starting job is at quarterback. Five games into last season, NCCU’s fourth all-time leading passer, Stadford

Brown, suffered a season-ending injury (broken collarbone). From that point on, a pair of red-shirt freshmen, Keon Williams and Michael Johnson, shared the signal-calling duties. The young quarterbacks gained valuable experience during the final seven games of the season and in spring practice, but neither has solidified himself as the starter.

“I am really pleased with what we saw in the spring from the quarterback position,” Rison said. “We are going to have tremendous competition for the starting job.”

Williams (So., 6-0, 183, Charlotte, N.C.) completed 57.6 percent of his passes (38-of-66) for 462 yards in seven games. “Keon is a very intelligent quarterback,” Rison said. “He has done a fine job with his growth and is a steady performer.”

J o h n s o n (So., 6-2, 222, Durham, N.C.) was successful with 51.6 percent of his pass attempts (32-of-62) for 517 yards and six touchdowns in four outings. “I could see Michael’s growth during spring practice, especially at the line of scrimmage,” Rison said. “His thought process and vision at the line is much different now. He has been in the heat of the battle and feels comfortable with the system.”

Standing behind the quarterback is a trio of junior running backs that accounted for more than 100 percent of the team’s rushing output from last season. Tailbacks Tony McCord, Tim Shankle and Justin Campbell combined for 1,044 ground yards in 2008, while as a team the Eagles tallied 1,011 total net yards rushing (rest of team combined for a loss of 33 yards).

McCord (Jr., 5-11, 180, Stone Mountain, Ga.) led the way with 464 yards on 122 carries with a touchdown, averaging a team-best 42.2 yards per contest. Shankle (Jr., 5-10, 220, Gainesville, Fla.) was just off the pace with 449 yards and three scores on 109 rushes, while

Campbell (Jr., 5-6, 194, Monroe, N.C.) contributed 131 yards on 26 attempts for an average of 5.0 yards per carry.

“McCord has separated himself as our top back, but at any time Shankle and Campbell can come in and we won’t miss a beat,” Rison said. “We have legit running backs that continue to get even better.”

The squad’s fourth-leading rusher, fullback Saeed Abdul-Azeez (Sr., 6-0, 238, Durham, N.C.), is also one of the most formidable blockers. “He has gotten bigger and stronger,” Rison said.

Sophomore DeMarcus Hill (5-11, 219, Charlotte, N.C.), who started at tight end as a red-shirt freshman, has moved to fullback. Rison said he sees “tremendous upside” for Hill in the backfield.

Hill was pushed into the starting role at tight end last season after just two games when Earthan Ward (Jr., 6-4, 218, Edenton, N.C.) suffered a season-ending injury at James Madison. “We are pleased with Earthan’s progress in the spring,” said Rison. “He caught the ball extremely well. He has the ability to stretch the field. We are glad to have him back.”

Arguably the deepest position for the NCCU offense is at wide receiver. While Rison mentioned six sets of capable hands, the head coach started with two-time team offensive MVP, senior Will Scott (6-2, 180, Charlotte, N.C.). Scott topped the Eagles with 45 catches for 787 yards with five trips to the end zone in 2008. Lindy’s 2009 College Football Preview magazine tagged Scott as the FCS Independent Preseason Offensive Player of the Year. “Will Scott could be one of the most explosive receivers in the country,” Rison said. “I could see a positive change in him at the end of last season. He has great speed and can run past people.”

Complimenting Scott on the other side of the field is junior receiver Deshawn Spears (5-8, 152, Bunnlevel, N.C.), who was third on the team with 33 grabs for 439 yards a year ago. “Deshawn has shown the ability to make big plays,” Rison said. “He is small in stature with a big heart.”

Other leading candidates to haul in the pigskin are Corey Harris (Jr., 6-4, 180, Chesapeake, Va.), Jonathan Nicely (So., 6-4, 194, Augusta, Ga.), Andrew Johnson (RS-Fr., 6-2, 176, Fayetteville, N.C.), and Geovonie Irvine (So., 5-7, 145, Durham, N.C.).

DEFENSE:In 2008, the NCCU starting defensive squad mainly consisted of two

seniors, one junior, six sophomores and two freshmen. The youthful unit experienced a baptism by fire early on, but continued to improve. During the Eagles three victories down the stretch, the defense allowed an average of just 12.3 points per contest.

“Our defense was so young last year,” Rison said. “We played a tough schedule, but every game was a good experience and helped us grow.”

Thirteen of the team’s top 16 tacklers from a year ago - all with 20 or more tackles to his ledger - return to the roster, including nine starters.

The marquee defensive Eagle for the upcoming season is junior lineman Teryl White (6-4, 278, Winston-Salem, N.C.), who led the squad with 11.0 tackles for a loss, including 3.0 sacks, and topped all linemen with 55 total takedowns. Both Phil Steele’s and Lindy’s 2009 College Football Preview magazines selected White as the FCS Independent Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. “A lot of schools missed out on Teryl White,” Rison said. “He is athletic and can run. Teryl had an outstanding spring practice and I think he is going to have a great year.”

The other returning starter in the trenches is junior nose guard Sam Battle (5-11, 266, Rocky Mount, N.C.), who recorded 22 tackles, including 6.5 hits for a loss with 1.5 sacks last season. “Sam is by far the strongest player on the team,” said Rison, referring to Battle’s ability to bench press 500 pounds. “He is difficult to block one-on-one because of how strong

he is.”Other Eagles to watch on the defensive line are sophomore Dominique

Moore (6-3, 289, Roanoke, Va.), who tallied 11 tackles with 1.5 sacks in limited action as a rookie, along with red-shirt freshmen Xavier Proctor (6-6, 229, Ellicott City, Md.) and Joe Hutchinson (6-2, 222, Charlotte, N.C.

“We have a lot of talent, athleticism and size on the defensive line, but we are still young,” Rison said. “We will need to grow up fast.”

Even with the departure of the team’s leading defender from 2008, senior linebacker Troy McConico, NCCU’s linebacker corps remains solid. Five returners accounted for more than 20 tackles each, including three backers with 40 or more.

Alex Winters (Sr., 5-10, 220, Burlington, N.C.) is tops among the returning linebackers with 56 takedowns, including 3.5 hits for a loss with a sack. He also recorded two fumble recoveries, including one for a 38-yard touchdown, a forced fumble, an interception and a pass break-up. “Alex is extremely excited about his senior year,” Rison said. “He has made a lot of plays for us and is a tremendous asset because of his senior leadership.”

Calvin Hillie (Jr., 6-1, 235, Concord, N.C.) blasted his way to 43 tackles as a sophomore, including 3.0 takedowns behind the line of scrimmage, a recovered

role as the team’s punter. One special teams

position that Rison feels is taken care of is long snapper, where sophomore Zachary Means has solidified himself. “He is snapping rockets back there,” Rison said.

Rison also feels optimistic about the Eagles return game, which boasts speed and big-play potential.

Deshawn Spears averaged 16.6 yards per kickoff return and 6.1 yards per punt return last season, both team highs. Newcomer Geovonie Irvine will also get the chance for some game-breakers as a return specialist.

The 2009 edition of the NCCU Eagles will report to campus on Aug. 7. The first practice is slated for Aug. 8. Fans will have the opportunity to “Meet the Eagles” on Aug. 29 starting at 11 a.m.

THE 2009 SCHEDULE:

The NCCU 2009 Eagles football schedule features eight games played in North Carolina, including first-time meetings with Duke University and Appalachian State University.

The 2009 slate is considered fan-friendly because NCCU Eagles supporters can witness all 11 games without having to travel more the 200 miles from Durham. NCCU’s three road games not contested in-state, will take place in neighboring Virginia, all less than a four-hour drive campus.

That is in sharp contrast to the team’s 2008 travel itinerary, which saw the Eagles visit five different states, including California, Connecticut, Maryland, South Carolina and Virginia.

In 2009, NCCU will face eight NCAA Division I-Football Championship Subdivision programs and will meet six opponents for the first time on the gridiron.

The Eagles take their shortest bus ride of the season (4.8 miles one way) for a historic first-ever meeting with neighbor Duke University on Sept. 26, as the Blue Devils celebrate Homecoming. This will also be NCCU’s first contest against a team from the NCAA Division I-Football Bowl Subdivision.

fumble and a pass deflection. “Calvin is a very physical football player,” Rison said. “He will strike you!”

Donald Laster (Jr., 6-0, 233, Shaker Heights, Ohio) spent a significant amount of time in the opposition’s backfield last season. He amassed 40 tackles, including 9.5 hits for a loss with a team-high 6.0 sacks, while adding a team-best six quarterback hurries, more than twice as many as any other Eagle. “Donald had a good season last year,” Rison said. “He was in a new position to start, but picked up what we were doing as the season went on.”

Roger Stewart (So., 6-1, 207, Charlotte, N.C.) earned a starting role as a rookie, flying all over the field for 33 takedowns, including 4.0 hits for a loss with 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble. “Roger has done nothing but get better,” Rison said. “Plus, he has put on weight and size, and had a great spring practice season.”

Eliezer Sandifer (So., 5-11, 212, Miami, Fla.) collected 21 tackles in limited action as a freshman, but is expected to compete for a starting role as a sophomore. “Eliezer continued to improve in the spring,” Rison said. “He runs extremely well and has a great nose for the football.”

Anthony Sharp (Jr., 5-10, 215, Chapel Hill, N.C.) contributed 17 tackles last season. “Anthony is the vocal leader on our defense,” Rison said. “He made a lot of plays in the spring.”

Of all the positions on the field, Rison said he is the most excited about who is returning in the secondary. “We did not give up a lot of big plays in the passing game,” he noted.

The four top returners, free safety Jeffery Henderson, strong safety Derek Harvey, cornerback Rashad Fox and cornerback David Ingram, all started for the Eagles at some point last season.

Henderson (Jr., 6-0, 187, Garner, N.C.), who is considered “really steady” by Rison, placed second on the team with 56 tackles (33 solo) last year, while adding five pass break-ups and a team-best three forced fumbles.

Ingram (So., 5-8, 167, Waldorf, Md.) topped the Eagles with nine passes defended, including a team-high four interceptions returned for 82 yards with a trip to the end zone. He also had 24 tackles and a recovered fumble to his credit.

Fox (Jr., 5-11, 180, Washington, D.C.) recorded 26 tackles (17 solo), three pass break-ups, an interception and a fumble recovery as a sophomore. “We lock him up against the opposition’s top receiver,” Rison said. “Fox is our shut-down corner.”

Harvey (Sr., 5-8, 188, Raeford, N.C.) posted 22 tackles, including a hit for a loss with a half-sack, along with an interception and a pass deflection as a junior, and had a strong spring practice campaign, according to Rison.

Rison also noted that junior JaQuez Canty (5-9, 184, Winston-Salem, N.C.) will move from linebacker to the safety position. Canty tallied 20 takedowns with a sack last season.

The goal of the NCCU defense has not changed from a year ago, according to Rison. “We want to make an offense one dimensional by stopping the run,” he said.

SPECIAL TEAMS:The NCCU special teams unit took a big hit due to the graduation of

the program’s all-time leading scorer, place-kicker Brandon Gilbert, who amassed 279 career points and either holds or shares every kicking record in school history.

The kicking duties will be placed in front of two true freshmen, Frankie Cardelle (5-10, 175, Salisbury, N.C.) and Nickolas Hahula (5-11, 205, Rocky Mount, N.C.), and there will be an open competition, according to Rison.

“Brandon Gilbert cannot be replaced,” Rison said. “What I am hoping is that these young kickers can come in here and be close to where B.G. was his freshman year. If they can come close, then the kicking game will be in good hands.”

Two newcomers, a junior college transfer and freshman Brian Haselsberger (6-0, 180, Oak Ridge, N.C.), will also be vying for a starting

Coach Mose Rison enters his third season as head coach at NCCU. He accepted the challenge of leading the Eagles football program to the NCAA Division I (Football Championship Subdivision) level on Feb. 6, 2007, when he was announced as the school’s 19th head football coach.

He came to NCCU as the assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2006, but after one season accepted the role of head coach for the first time in his 25-year coaching career.

In his first two seasons as head coach, Rison maintained his roles as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

In 2008, a young and inexperienced squad got off to a slow start against one of the toughest schedules in the FCS ranks. Still, the squad continued to battle and improve, resulting in victories in three of the last four contests to finish the season with a 4-7 record.

In 2007, Rison led the Eagles to a winning 6-4 record in the program’s first season of NCAA Division I (FCS) competition.

In 2006, Rison directed NCCU’s offense to 371 points (30.9 per game), the most in school history, during the Eagles historic 11-1 campaign. Under Rison’s tutelage, freshman q u a r t e r b a c k Stadford Brown

was named as the “SBN Sports Doug Williams Offensive Player of the Year,” the 2006 CIAA Offensive Player of the Year and CIAA Rookie of the Year.

A 1978 graduate of Central Michigan University, Rison spent the 2005 season as the Quarterbacks Coach/Passing Coordinator at Davidson College, where the Wildcats averaged more than 200 yards passing per game running a West Coast offensive system.

He has also held positions at Livingstone College (Offensive Coordinator, 2004), the University of Arizona (Wide Receivers/Passing Coordinator, 2003), Stanford University (Wide Receivers, 1995-2000), Rutgers University (Wide Receivers/Tight Ends, 1991-94), the U.S. Naval Academy (Wide Receivers, 1988-90), and Central Michigan University (Wide Receivers, 1981-87).

ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY

NCCU head football coach Mose Rison took time away from the Eagles’ 2009 spring football practice regiment to take part in a literacy campaign at nearby C.C. Spaulding Elementary School.

On March 4, after leading his team through an early morning practice, Rison visited Robert Lavender’s fourth-grade class to read “Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!” by Dr. Seuss.

Rison told the group that when he received the invitation from reading recovery teach Marion Horn, he was more excited about the opportunity to read to the class than the opening of spring football practice.

History In 1910, Dr. James E. Shepard envisioned

and founded a school that prepared African American adults for leadership roles in our nation’s communities. Founded as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua, North Carolina Central University (NCCU) became the nation’s first state-supported historically black liberal arts college. In 1923, the National Training School became the state-supported Durham State Normal School, devoted to “the training of teachers for the Colored Public Schools of North Carolina.”

Two years later, Dr. Shepard was able to persuade the General Assembly to take a revolutionary step, making the institution a liberal arts college and naming it North Carolina College for Negroes in 1925. The School of Law was established in 1940 and the School of Library Science in 1941. By the time of Dr. Shepard’s death on October 6, 1947, the institution that had become North Carolina College at Durham was fully-accredited, highly respected and had become the alma mater of a growing list of distinguished alumni.

Today, under the leadership of Chancellor Charlie Nelms, NCCU is a comprehensive university offering more than 100 bachelor’s degrees in various disciplines, 40 master’s degree programs and three professional degrees in law. The university reaches out to all racial and ethnic groups, and has a diverse student population of more than 8,500.

New InitiativesNCCU is on the cutting edge with its

Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise known as BRITE. The institute offers new bachelor’s and master’s degrees in pharmaceutical science.

These programs provide students with core scientific competencies in biology or chemistry as well as hands-on laboratory practice. In addition, there are seminar courses in drug development operations, FDA regulations, quality assurance and control, and intellectual property and patent law. NCCU’s BRITE is an important part of the statewide initiative to make North Carolina a premiere provider of skilled workers for the biotechnology industry.

The School of Law has won kudos for providing top-notch legal education. According to Vault, Inc., a publishing firm that researches and collects data on diverse professions, the law school has not received the acknowledgment it is due. Vault surveyed 512 recruiters who identified 25 “underrated” schools, and the NCCU School of Law was ranked at number 14.

NCCU and the African American Jazz Caucus are partnering to form the NCCU/AAJC Jazz Research Institute (NAJRI) in an effort to preserve the integrity of jazz as an African American art form. One of the functions of the Institute will be to address the critical artistic and economic situation of jazz in the African American community as well as develop other initiatives such as a North Carolina Hall of Fame dedicated to highlighting the work of jazz artists from North Carolina.

In an effort to bring more study abroad options to students, NCCU has been accepted as a member of the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), a nonprofit membership organization that provides affordable and diverse study abroad and exchange opportunities to students around the world. NCCU is only one of four historically black college or university in the ISEP network. ISEP membership makes it possible for NCCU students to study abroad at over 135 different universities in 39 countries.

The university’s athletics programs have enjoyed regional and national recognition for years. Fourteen men’s and women’s sports teams compete at the NCAA Division I (Football Championship Subdivision) level. In 2006-07, NCCU was the CIAA Champions in football, and women’s cross-country, women’s basketball, and women’s volleyball.

NCCU is the first historically black institution in the nation to have an athletic

training education program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.

Built upon the motto of Truth and Service, NCCU is a university committed to preparing and equipping students with the knowledge and skills to compete in the global marketplace.

Early in his career, he rose through the faculty and administrative ranks as associate dean for Student Development at Earlham College in Indiana (1973-1977), associate director of the Center for Human Development and Education Services at the UAPB (1977-1978), associate dean for Academic Affairs at Indiana University Northwest (1978-

1984) and vice president for Student Services at Sinclair Community College in Ohio (1984- 1987).

In 1987, Nelms began a seven-year tenure as chancellor of Indiana University East, a commuter campus serving east-central Indiana. During his tenure there, the campus was the fastest-growing college in the State of Indiana. In 1994, Nelms was named chancellor of the University of Michigan at Flint (UMF), an urban campus that enrolls over 6,500 students and offers a full spectrum o f u n d e r g r a d u a t e and master ’s degree programs. Before being recruited to Indiana University in 1998, he resolved a significant campus budget deficit, reversed a four-year enrollment decline, and secured more than $75 million in private gifts to UMF.

North Caro l ina Cent ra l University is competing in its third year of reclassification as an NCAA Division I institution (Football Championship Subdivision), and the Eagles will be playing as an independent during the 2009-10 athletics campaign.

Fourteen men’s and women’s sports teams participate in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition at the Division I-FCS level. Men’s intercollegiate teams include football, basketball, baseball, indoor and outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and cross country. Women’s intercollegiate teams include basketball, volleyball, indoor and outdoor track & field, tennis, softball, bowling and cross country.

NCCU’s athletic programs have enjoyed regional and national recognition for years, headlined by the 1989 NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball National Championship.

NCCU’s commitment to a balanced athletic program, providing equitable resources to all of its sports teams, is abundantly apparent. In five of the last eight years in the Central

Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), NCCU claimed the Loretta Taylor All-Sports Trophy, recognizing the top all-around women’s program in the conference.

In 2007-08, NCCU’s first season of Division I (FCS) competition, the women’s volleyball team kicked off the Division I era with a dramatic, come-from-behind win over N.C. State, then cruised to 21 victories, all against Division I opponents. The football team finished its first Division I season with a 6-4 record, the Eagles fourth straight winning season. The men’s and women’s cross country teams each won four of their seven events. The men’s basketball team played one of the toughest schedules in the country, while traveling more than 22,000 miles and playing in 13 different states. The squad earned a road victory over the eventual Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) champions and capped the season with a win over rival Winston-Salem State University at the MEAC Tournament. Finally, the track and field program won two events at the prestigious

Penn Relays and qualified two student-athletes for the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Boston.

In 2006-07, NCCU’s final season in the NCAA Division II, the Eagles placed 24th in the final standings of the U.S. Sports Academy Directors’ Cup, the prestigious award presented annually to the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country.

In 2006-07, NCCU won four CIAA team c h a m p i o n s h i p s a n d participated in nine NCAA Division II Championship events.

athletes and coaches are nationally and internationally known. Heading the charge of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games was Dr. LeRoy T. Walker, President of the U.S. Olympic Committee, who lifted the Eagle track & field program to international prominence during his unprecedented tenure as head coach at NCCU. Under Walker’s reign, the Eagles produced 30 national titles, 77 All-Americans, and eight Olympic medalists. Legendary basketball practitioner, John B. McLendon, a member of the National Basketball Hall of Fame, established a remarkable record of 239-68 (.779) as an Eagle head coach from 1940 to 1952. A student of Dr.

The 1989 men’s basketball team won the NCAA Division II National Championship by defeating Southeast Missouri State 73-46 in the title game on March 25, 1989. The Eagles also captured an NCAA Division II Regional Championship in 1993.

Legendary track & field coach Dr. LeRoy T. Walker, who served as President of the U.S. Olympic Committee during the 1996 Atlanta Games, led the Eagles to 30 national titles, 77 All-America citations, and eight Olympic medals.

James Naismith, the inventor of the game of basketball, McLendon is credited with the development of the zone press, fast break and four corners offense. Boston Celtics great Sam Jones, a student-athlete under McLendon and a fellow Hall-of-Famer, became the first black player to be drafted in the first round after scoring a record 1,745 points during his stellar NCCU career. Internationally-renowned artist, Ernie Barnes - best-known for his famous paintings seen on the 1970s sitcom “Good Times” - played football for the NCCU prior to a professional gridiron career with the Baltimore Colts, San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos.

The LeRoy T. Walker Physical Education Complex houses a multi-purpose gymnasium, Olympic-sized swimming and diving pool, athletic training facilities, strength and fitness center, and much more. O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium hosts NCCU football action for a capacity crowd of 10,000 dedicated Eagle fans. In mid-November, McLendon-McDougald Gym lights-up with men’s and women’s basketball excitement.

Ingrid Wicker-McCree, Ed.D. was appointed as the Director of Athletics at North Carolina Central University on April 23, 2008, after holding the interim position for five months.

She officially began her new leadership role on May 1, 2008.

Wicker-McCree, who joined the rank of only a handful of women athletic directors in the UNC system, previously served as NCCU’s associate athletics director for internal affairs. She has served in a variety of leadership positions in both conference and national level organizations, most notably as president of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Executive Board from 2004-06, becoming only the second woman to ever hold that position in the league’s history. In addition, she served as a member of the NCAA’s Division II Legislation Committee from 2003-07.

In recognition of her work, Wicker-McCree received the CIAA Leadership Award for Service as president of the Executive Board and was named the CIAA Senior Woman Administrator of the Year in the spring of 2006.

Now in her 16th year at NCCU, Wicker-McCree has been one of the driving forces behind NCCU’s reclassification to NCAA Division I. Since 1998, she has overseen the internal operations of the Athletics Department, including all compliance and eligibility programs.

Although in the early stages of her tenure as Director of Athletics, Wicker-McCree has already established herself as a strong and forward-thinking leader. Under her supervision, several booster clubs have now joined forces into one focused support organization - the Eagle Club. She also spearheaded the effort to have artificial turf installed in O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium.

Wicker-McCree began her career at NCCU as the head coach for women’s volleyball and softball. She became the first coach in NCCU history to win conference championships in multiple sports, capturing the school’s first-ever CIAA titles in softball (1998) and volleyball (1999, 2004, 2005). A three-time CIAA Volleyball Coach of the Year (1999, 2002, 2005) and former member of the NCAA Division II National Volleyball Committee, Wicker-McCree earned 239 match victories in 12 seasons as head volleyball coach at NCCU. She was also inducted into the NCCU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004 as head coach of the 1998 softball team.

A native of Durham and graduate of C.E. Jordan High School, Wi c k e r - M c C r e e played on two North Carolina high school state volleyball championship teams, while also lettering in basketball and track and field. She continued her volleyball playing career as a student-athlete at George Washington University.

W i c k e r -McCree earned her undergraduate degree in criminal justice from George Washington University in 1989, and a master’s degree in recreation resources administration from North Carolina State University in December 1991. She also completed doctoral studies in higher education administration at North Carolina State University in June 2008.

She began her coaching career as a graduate assistant coach for the women’s volleyball program at N.C. State (1989-90). She then spent two seasons (1992-93) as head volleyball coach and student-athlete academic counselor at North Carolina A&T State University before returning to her hometown to begin her NCCU tenure in August 1994.

Wicker-McCree has been involved as a player and coach in the USA Volleyball Carolina Region. She also served as director

of three USAV Junior Olympic Teams (ages 18, 16, 14 and under) and director of the Y.M.C.A. Middle School Girls’ Volleyball Camp (ages 10-14).

Wicker-McCree and her husband, Geno McCree, a three-sport collegiate student-athlete and 1991 graduate of Elon University, are the proud parents of Alexia (11), Quinton (8) and Sydney (5).

Ingrid Wicker-McCree accepts the 2007 Loretta Taylor All-Sports Trophy, recognizing the top all-around women's program in the conference, from Jeffrey McLeod of the CIAA.

HELP THE EAGLES WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS!!“Winning” for the Eagles is more than outscoring the opponent, it is excelling in the classroom, actively participating in community service projects and adhering to NCAA rules regarding recruitment and admission of student-athletes.

How can you help the Eagles win? Follow the NCAA rules. The NCAA defines an institution as the University, its employees, its student-athletes, and its representatives of athletics interests, including parents alumnus/and fans. Therefore, beware of the following:

NCAA BYLAW 13.1.2.1

In Division I, representatives of an institution’s athletics interests are prohibited from making in-person, on- or off-campus recruiting contacts, including written and/or telephonic communications with a prospect or the prospect’s relatives or legal guardians.

A prospect is defined as any student who has started classes for the ninth grade, whether the student participates in athletics is not relevant to the classification as a prospect and neither is gender.

A SERVICE OF THE NCCU EAGLE ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE

NCAA rules inquiries may be directed to:Etienne H. Thomas * Associate Director of Athletics/SWA * 919/530-7053

Marlynn R. Jones, Esq. * Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance * 919/530-6725

NCAA BYLAW 16.02.3

An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests to provide a student-athlete or the student-athlete’s relative or friend a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation.

Unless you are willing to give a benefit to all 8,000 students at NCCU, don’t give it to a student-athlete or a prospect.

The New Eagle Club

If you haven’t heard, there’s a new booster club at North Carolina Central University. It’s the all-new Eagle Club. Yes, more than a half-dozen of our athletic booster clubs, including the original long-standing Eagle Club, have joined forces to create a superpower club that provides scholarship support for all NCCU student-athletes. It’s an important step forward as we move up to Division I.

That’s right, all NCCU teams are going Division I. This is big time. As one unified booster club, we’ll be a more structured organization that combines the efforts of our most dedicated supporters. Likewise, it strengthens our ability to build championship teams as we advance to a more challenging level of play.

If you’re a previous booster club member, your past giving history will be recognized when you continue on with the new Eagle Club. For everyone who contributes, this is your chance to become a charter member of the new Eagle Club. As a member, you’ll be part of the only fundraising organization for the athletic department sanctioned by the university.

Next to student-athletes, our supporters are the most important assets to our athletic program. With your help, we’ll be able to offer more scholarships to the most talented student-athletes, as well as provide them with world-class facilities.

ARTIFICIAL TURF INSTALLATION UNDERWAY AT NCCU’S O’KELLY-RIDDICK STADIUM New Playing Surface to Aid in Heavy Use of Athletic Fields

DURHAM, N.C. (www.NCCUEaglePride.com) - In an effort to maximize the use of its athletic fields and reduce financial and human resources, the North Carolina Central University Department of Athletics has initiated the process of installing artificial turf inside O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium. On July 13, Medallion Athletic Products, Inc., the company contracted to perform the artificial turf installation, broke ground on the Eagles home football field. The new Mondoturf playing surface is projected to be ready for use on Aug. 24, pending agreeable weather and any installation issues. NCCU’s football home-opener is on Sept. 19 against Morehead State. “We are extremely excited about the new upgrade to our football stadium field,” said Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree, NCCU Director of Athletics. “The addition of the artificial turf will provide our student-athletes with an attractive and safe playing surface to improve their performance and showcase their talents.” NCCU looked into the possibility of artificial turf because of the amount of use its lone practice field (located inside the track) receives throughout the year by athletics, the band, campus recreation programs and community groups. “We are land-locked,” Wicker-McCree said. “Therefore, these two fields (practice and game fields) are the only true open spaces on campus. We now have the opportunity to offer more time on the fields by these groups and others by having lower maintenance time and costs to the department and University.” The total cost of the project is expected to be $816,000, which will be paid by the Athletics Department in eight annual payments of $102,000. “This is a sound investment for NCCU,” Wicker-McCree said. “Over the years, we have spent a significant amount of financial and human resources to maintain our practice and game fields. Inevitably, due to heavy use and inclement weather, the conditions of the fields worsen as the year goes on. “The artificial turf can accommodate a lot of use while maintaining a consistent look and a safe playing surface,” she added. “It will also improve the condition of the practice field by reducing the amount of time it is utilized.” For more information about the type of artificial turf being installed, visit the Mondoturf web site at www.mondousa.com. For updated photos of the installation process, visit Facebook.com/NCCUAthletics.

“The addition of the artificial turf will provide our student-athletes with an attractive and safe playing surface to improve their performance and

showcase their talents.”

2008 REVIEW NOTEBOOK

The Eagles of North Carolina Central University finished their second season of Division I-FCS competition with a 4-7 overall record. A young an inexperienced squad struggled at the start of the season, dropping the first four games out of the gate. Turnovers and missed opportunities crushed the Eagles against a challenging slate of opposition. NCCU faced two teams that were ranked in the top three in the nation late in the season, each making long playoff runs. Still, NCCU battled and continued to improve. The rewards for the Eagles’ effort were victories in three of their last four games, including two straight to end the campaign.

THE 2008 SENIOR CLASS NCCU lost eight seniors from the 2008 squad, including six starters. The departed Eagle seniors were quarterback Stadford Brown, receiver Wayne Blackwell, kicker Brandon Gilbert, running back Jeff Toliver, offensive lineman Jovan Olafioye, defensive lineman Eric Smalls, offensive lineman Greg Greene, and linebacker Troy McConico. Brown ranks as the school’s fourth all-time career passer with 5,202 passing yards. Blackwell finished eighth on NCCU’s career receptions list with 117 catches. Gilbert is the Eagles’ all-time scoring leader with 279 career points and either holds or shares every kicking record in school history. Olafioye was a two-year starter on the offensive line. Smalls placed fifth among NCCU defenders in 2008 with 54 tackles. McConico was the team’s leading tackler last season with 73 takedowns.

LONG ROAD JOURNEY TAKES EAGLES TO FIVE DIFFERENT STATES NCCU played its seventh and last road game of the season on Nov. 8 in San Luis Obispo, Calif. NCCU’s seven total road games this season took the Eagles to five different states, including Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, South Carolina and California. The Cal Poly trip was NCCU’s first journey to California in 20 years, when the Eagles played Cal State Sacramento in the second round of the NCAA playoffs on Nov. 27, 1988. In contrast, just three seasons prior in 2005, NCCU played 12 football games and never left North Carolina.

EAGLES DEFEAT RIVAL AGGIES FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE TIME NCCU defeated long-time rival North Carolina A&T 28-27 on Oct. 4 at Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. The victory was the third straight in the series for NCCU, the longest such streak since the Eagles defeated the Aggies five times in a row from 1970-74.

EAGLES FACE TWO NATIONALLY-RANKED OPPONENTS NCCU lined up against two teams that were ranked in the Top 10 in NCAA Division I-FCS national polls. When the Eagles visited James Madison on Sept. 6, the Dukes were ranked No. 8 in the nation. JMU went on to earn the No. 1 spot in the country before losing in the NCAA semifinals. NCCU also traveled to California to play the No. 3 Cal Poly Mustangs.

GILBERT BREAKS SCHOOL RECORD FOR CAREER FIELD GOALS NCCU senior place-kicker Brandon Gilbert made three field goals versus Winston-Salem State on Nov. 15 to become the school’s all-time leader in career field goals, breaking the old school standard of 40 set by Kevin Houston (1992-95).

GILBERT ESTABLISHES SCHOOL SCORING RECORD NCCU senior place-kicker Brandon Gilbert made a field goal and an extra-point kick in his final college game on Nov. 22 versus Savannah State to post his school scoring record at 279 career points.

GILBERT EXTENDS EXTRA-POINT STREAK TO 104 NCCU senior place-kicker Brandon Gilbert finished his collegiate career by making 104 consecutive extra-point kicks, dating back to Sept. 5, 2005 versus North Carolina A&T when a celebration penalty forced a lengthy try. In fact, Gilbert did not miss an extra-point kick against a Division II opponent during his NCCU career. He was 146-of-148 in PAT kicks, with both misses coming against Division I-FCS teams (at Delaware State on Sept. 11, 2004, vs. North Carolina A&T on Sept. 5, 2005).

BLACKWELL ONE OF THE TOP RECEIVERS IN NCCU HISTORY NCCU senior receiver Wayne Blackwell wrapped up his college career as one of the top receivers in school history. The Reidsville, N.C. native tied for eighth on the school’s all-time receptions list with 117 career catches, and ranks 11th in receiving yards with 1,462. He also caught 15 touchdown passes.

NCCU QUARTERBACK BROWN OUT WITH FRACTURED COLLARBONE Moments before the end of the first half against North Carolina A&T on Oct. 4, NCCU senior quarterback Stadford Brown suffered a fractured collarbone when he was sacked on a third down play. Brown had surgery Oct. 13 and missed the remainder of the season.

BROWN’S STATUS IN THE NCCU RECORD BOOKS NCCU senior quarterback Stadford Brown solidified himself as one of the top Eagle signal callers in school history. In only three seasons at NCCU, Brown ranks fourth in career passing yards (5,202), third in pass completions (399), third in touchdown passes (46), and fourth in total offense (5,207).

TOUCHDOWN PASSING STREAK FOR NCCU’S BROWN NCCU senior quarterback Stadford Brown threw a touchdown pass in 16 consecutive games, dating back to the final contest of the 2006 season. In fact, the three-year Eagle completed at least one touchdown pass in all but one game during his NCCU career (26 of 27), with the 2006 CIAA Championship Game versus Elizabeth City State University on Nov. 11 being the lone standout.

August 31, 2008O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium - Durham, N.C.

North Carolina Central University committed five turnovers and two special teams blunders which led to a 33-22 Fayetteville State University upset victory, ruining the Eagles home-opener in front of 8,853 fans at NCCU’s O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium.

FSU scored its first four touchdowns following NCCU mistakes, including two fumbles, a blocked punt and a snap that sailed over the punter’s head.

On the day, NCCU fumbled six times, four of which were recovered by the visiting Broncos, and threw an interception.

The host Eagles amassed 339 yards of total offense, including 284 yards passing by senior quarterback Stadford Brown, but managed only 55 rushing yards as a team.

FSU only needed 257 total yards with 172 through the air and 85 on the ground. The Broncos longest scoring drive of the contest was 26 yards, with two others covering 21 and 11 yards.

The first play from scrimmage proved to be a sign of things to come for NCCU, as Brown completed a 24-yard pass to sophomore receiver Corey Harris, who lost the ball at the Broncos 24-yard line and had it recovered by FSU’s Terrel Allen.

After a defensive stop, NCCU lit the scoreboard first courtesy of a 2-yard run by senior running back Jeff Toliver at 8:42 of the first quarter. Brandon Gilbert’s extra-point kick put the Eagles on top 7-0.

The next time the Eagles got the ball, Brown fumbled the ball in an attempted hand-off and FSU recovered at the NCCU 21-yard

line. Six plays later, FSU quarterback Bryan Hardy completed a 3-yard pass to Gavin Hardison at 4:51 of the first quarter. Bryant Conner’s extra-point kick hit the left upright to keep the score 7-6 in favor of the home team.

An FSU fumble forced by Teryl White and recovered by Danez Jones resulted in an 8-play, 73-yard scoring drive capped by Toliver’s second rushing touchdown at 7:10 of the second quarter. Gilbert’s 85th consecutive extra-point kick increased NCCU’s lead to 14-6.

On NCCU’s next possession and facing 4th down and 20 yards to go, the snap from center sailed over the punter Taylor Gray’s head. Gray fell on the loose ball, resulting in a 29-yard loss and giving the Broncos a chance from the Eagles 11-yard line.

In spite of losing 14 yards on the first play, two plays later reserve quarterback Ben Williams found Kendon Doe for a 25-yard touchdown connection with 1:45 remaining before intermission. The 2-point rush attempt was stopped, as the Eagles held on to a slim 14-12 advantage.

On the ensuing possession, NCCU mounted a charge and moved the pigskin to the Broncos 26-yard line, seeming to at least be in striking distance for a field goal. On the eighth play of the drive, however, senior receiver Will Scott caught a pass and fumbled while attempting to get out of bounds to stop the ticking clock. FSU’s Allen picked up the fumble and tossed it to teammate Jeff Gowdy, who sprinted 79 yards for a go-ahead touchdown on the final play of the first half. Connor added the extra-point kick to give the Broncos a 19-14 lead at halftime.

On NCCU’s first possession of the second half, Gray’s punt attempt was blocked by Monte’ Summerville and scooped up by John Hicks for a 21-yard touchdown. Conner’s extra-point kick

pushed the FSU cushion to 26-14 at 8:12 of the third quarter.

Midway through the final stanza, the upset-minded Broncos put the game out of reach with a 5-play, 26-yard drive that ended with Williams finding Darryl Barnett through traffic in the back of the end zone. Conner’s extra-point kick made the score 33-14 with 6:39 left in the contest.

James Madison University amassed 449 yards of total offense, including 276 rushing yards, en route to a 56-7 victory over North Carolina Central University in front of 15,518 fans inside Bridgeforth Stadium in Harrisonburg, Va.

James Madison, which dropped from a preseason ranking of No. 2 to No. 8 in the Sports Network Division I-FCS poll following last week’s loss at Duke University, entered the contest against NCCU with a strong desire to prove that the Dukes belong back near the top of the rankings. JMU made an impressive statement.

The Dukes scored eight touchdowns and punted only once, tallying 23 first downs along the way.

JMU’s balanced offensive attack was led by senior quarterback Rodney Landers, who completed 13-of-17 passes for 164 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 31 yards and a score.

September 13, 2008Hughes Stadium - Baltimore, Md.

North Carolina Central University suffered its second straight blowout loss as Morgan State University dominated the visiting Eagles, 49-7, inside Hughes Stadium in Baltimore, Md.

During the past two weeks, NCCU has been outscored 105-14, including a 56-7 loss at James Madison a week ago.

On Saturday, the Bears amassed 369 yards of total offense, including 247 yards rushing. NCCU managed only 223 total yards with just 67 rushing yards.

September 20, 2008Willow Brook Park - New Britain, Conn.

Central Connecticut State University scored 21 unanswered points and then held off a late charge by North Carolina Central University to earn a 35-23 victory in the NAACP Harmony Classic at Willow Brook Park in New Britain, Conn.

The announced crowd of 8,322 broke the Northeast Conference home attendance record.

CCSU opened up a 7-3 first quarter lead by scoring a touchdown just before halftime and then made two more trips to the end zone at the start of the third quarter to extend the cushion to 28-3.

NCCU rallied for three touchdowns in the final 16:24 of the contest, but it was not enough.

The host Blue Devils amassed 399 yards of total offense, including 212 rushing yards. James Mallory, the top rusher in the Division I-FCS ranks, recorded 169 ground yards and a touchdown on 28 attempts, while adding two receptions for 41 yards to lead CCSU.

CCSU quarterback Aubrey Norris came off the bench to spark his team. Facing a slim 7-3 advantage in the second quarter, Norris led the Blue Devils on a six-play, 84-yard scoring drive that ended with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Nick Colagiovanni with just 1:23 remaining before intermission.

Norris found Colagiovanni again for a 21-yard score on the opening drive of the third quarter for a 21-3 margin at 11:46.

Following an interception by Blue Devils linebacker Jeff Marino, CCSU took a commanding 28-3 lead when Mallory trotted into the end zone on an 11-yard scamper with 8:08 left in the third quarter.

Facing a 25-point deficit, the visiting Eagles battled back by going to the air. Senior quarterback Stadford Brown completed touchdown passes of 11 and 6 yards, both to senior receiver Wayne Blackwell, and then dove for a touchdown of his own from three yards out to end the day’s scoring.

Brown finished the afternoon by completing 22-of-34 passes for 309 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. In the second half alone, Brown was 17-for-26 for 252 passing yards and had a hand in all three touchdowns (2 pass, 1 rush).

NCCU finished with 364 yards of total offense and committed only one turnover after averaging

five miscues per game in the team’s first three contests. Will Scott caught six passes for 121 yards as he reached the

October 4, 2008Memorial Stadium - Charlotte, N.C.

North Carolina Central University’s offense stormed out to a commanding lead and the defense held onto it as the Eagles defeated North Carolina A&T State University 28-27 in the 80th meeting between the long-time rivals held at Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.

An announced crowd of 20,180 fans witnessed another classic contest between the Eagles and Aggies, with the outcome holding in the balance during the final drive for the fourth consecutive meeting. The victory was the third straight in the series for NCCU, the longest such streak since the Eagles defeated the Aggies five times in a row from 1970-74.

NCCU scored the first 21 points of the game courtesy of a 5-yard pass play from quarterback Stadford Brown to rookie tight end DeMarcus Hill (7:42, 1st Qtr.), and touchdown runs of 25 and 5 yards by running back Tim Shankle (14:18 and 9:10, 2nd Qtr.).

NC A&T kicked a pair of field goals by Eric Houston to make the score 21-6 at the half.

For NCCU, however, the news heading into the locker room was painful. The Eagles’ veteran signal caller Brown had his right throwing shoulder iced and in a sling with a probable broken collar bone.

At that point, the NCCU offense was placed in the hands of red-shirt freshman Keon Williams, a native of Charlotte playing in his hometown. Williams did what he was asked to do, manage the game. He completed 4-of-5 passes for 77 yards, including a 33-yard connection with Deshawn Spears on a second down and 21 yards-to-go play late in the fourth quarter to keep the chains and

the clock moving. Williams’ effort was

heroic because A&T kept charging in the second half.

The Aggies used some trickery to trim the deficit to 21-13 when punter Lee Woodson tossed a 50-yard touchdown pass to Nick Clement on a fake punt with 8:43 left in the third quarter.

Five minutes later it was the NCCU defense which answered the challenge as senior linebacker Alex Winters scooped up a fumble a dashed 38 yards for a score. Brandon Gilbert

booted his 93rd consecutive extra-point kick to make the score 28-13 at 3:49 of the third stanza.

The Aggies did not back down as red-shirt freshman running back Nigel Tomlin used his 6-foot, 192-pound frame to bull his way for two touchdown runs. Tomlin’s first scoring scamper was 21 yards with 1:21 left in the third quarter. His second touchdown was a 1-yard plunge that was set up by a 63-yard quarterback draw play by Carlton Fears. A&T opted to kick the extra-point to make it a one-point game at 9:56 of the fourth quarter, rather than go for two points and a tie.

That proved costly, as the NCCU defense, which forced three turnovers on the night, held its ground. Winters led the unit with eight total tackles, while Roger Stewart added seven stops, Eric Smalls had six hits with a sack and a forced fumble, and Derek Harvey tallied five tackles and an interception.

NCCU’s Shankle finished with 55 yards on the ground, while Tony McCord added 42 rushing yards. Brown completed 7-of-12 passes for 62 yards and a score before the injury. Wayne Blackwell caught four passes for 42, while Spears grabbed three receptions for 52 yards.

NCCU posted 242 yards of total offense compared to 296 total yards for the Aggies.

A&T was topped by Tomlin’s 110 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while linebacker Brandon Long amassed 11 tackles, including 4.5 hits for a loss to lead the Aggie defense.

October 11, 2008Bailey Stadium - Clinton, S.C.

Three feet. That proved to be the difference in the game. North Carolina Central University battled back from an 18-

point second-half deficit with an opportunity to defeat Presbyterian College from the 1-yard line.

The visiting Eagles, however, fumbled the snap from center on first-and-goal and Presbyterian recovered the loose ball to secure a 28-24 victory at Bailey Memorial Stadium in Clinton, S.C.

NCCU trailed 28-10 late in the third quarter after Presbyterian tight end Sam Wilson caught a 44-yard pass from Brandon Miley for a touchdown with 3:21 left in the third stanza.

The Eagles, playing in their fifth straight game away from home, appeared down and out after the score.

However, freshman quarterback Michael Johnson came off the bench to rally the Eagles offense. On only his fourth college snap from center, Johnson connected with Will Scott for a 52-yard touchdown strike to give NCCU a ray of hope with 1:20 remaining in the third quarter.

The NCCU defense forced Presbyterian into two punts and a missed field goal before the Eagles struck again, this time on a 24-yard Johnson pass to Wayne Blackwell. Brandon Gilbert’s 96th consecutive extra-point kick pulled the Eagles to within 28-24 with 3:54 left in the game.

NCCU head coach Mose Rison showed a lot of faith in his defensive unit by booting the ensuing kickoff deep, rather than attempt an onsides kick. The Eagles defense did not let him down, forcing a Blue Hose punt on a three-and-out series and giving NCCU the ball with 2:07 on the clock.

On third down and six yards to go from the NCCU 44-yard line, Johnson threw a 37-yard post pass to Deshawn Spears, who made a diving catch at the Presbyterian 19-yard line.

On the next play, sophomore running back Tony McCord found enough running room on the right side to cover 18 yards to the 1-yard line.

Presbyterian called timeout with 47 seconds left in the contest, as the Eagles were staring at first down and goal and only three feet from a dramatic come-from-behind victory.

On a quarterback sneak play, Johnson mishandled the snap from center and the ball was up for grabs near the goal line. After the officials uncovered the pile of blue and white jerseys, it was Presbyterian sophomore lineman Bryan McDaniel who came away with the fumble to preserve the victory for the host Blue Hose.

Johnson came off the bench to complete 8-of-9 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns in his college debut.

Spears and Blackwell caught five passes each for 83 and 47 yards, respectively. Scott had four receptions for 75 yards.

NCCU managed its second straight 100-yard ground effort with 123 rushing yards, led by McCord’s 80 yards. Sophomore fullback George Mobley scored his first touchdown as an Eagle.

NCCU’s starting quarterback Keon Williams completed 6-of-11 passes for 36 yards before leaving the game following a hard helmet-to-helmet hit in the third quarter.

There were several standouts on the NCCU defense. Three Eagles, sophomore lineman Teryl White, sophomore safety Jeffery Henderson and senior linebacker Troy McConico, recorded eight tackles each. Sophomore cornerback David Ingram collected seven stops with a fumble recovery, an interception and a pass break-up, while linebacker Alex Winters grabbed an interception as one of three Eagle takeaways.

On a sloppy and slippery O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium turf, North Carolina Central University took advantage of four Winston-Salem State University turnovers and a special teams miscue to defeat the rival Rams 23-16 on Saturday in Durham, N.C.

A stifling NCCU defense forced four turnovers with two interceptions and two fumble recoveries, while recording 10 tackles for a loss with six sacks and holding the Rams to only 1-of-10 third down conversions.

Several Eagle defenders enjoyed possibly the best games of their careers. Senior lineman Eric Smalls recorded a team-best 12 tackles, including a sack. Sophomore safety Jeffery Henderson amassed 10 tackles with a sack and two forced fumbles. Senior linebacker Troy McConico collected 10 tackles with a hit for a

loss and his first interception as an Eagle. Freshman cornerback David Ingram tallied five tackles and his team-leading third interception of the season. And sophomore safety Kurtis Campbell contributed two tackles for a loss with a sack and a fumble recovery.

NCCU senior place-kicker Brandon Gilbert scored 11 points, with field goals of 45, 28 and 34 yards, along with a pair of extra-point conversions to extend his consecutive streak to 103 PAT kicks.

WSSU evened the score at 3-3 with a 33-yard field goal by Adnan Kljajic at 7:55 of the second quarter.

yard drive that was capped by a 1-yard plunge by quarterback Jarrett Dunston with 3:08 left before the end of the first half.

Trailing 10-3 at intermission, the Eagles stormed out of the locker room. Red-shirt freshman quarterback Keon Williams connected on back-to-back passes to Deshawn Spears for 32 yards and Will Scott for 17 yards to move the pigskin to the Rams’ 11-yard line. On the next play, sophomore running back Tony McCord turned the corner and dove into the end zone for his first career touchdown, tying the score at 13:52 of the third quarter.

McConico’s interception return to the WSSU 16-yard line led to a 28-yard boot by Gilbert to put the Eagles on top 13-10 at 7:59 of the third stanza.

On the next possession for WSSU, a high snap from center sailed over the punter’s head and the Eagles took over at the 1-yard line. Fullback George Mobley bulled his way into the end zone on third-and-goal to provide a 20-10 cushion for NCCU at 4:06 of the third.

WSSU answered with an eight-play, 70-yard drive to score a touchdown on a 1-yard dive by John Thompson with 19 seconds left in the third quarter. Kljajic missed the extra-point kick to keep the score 20-16 in favor of the Eagles.

Midway through the fourth quarter, WSSU used a 52-yard dash by running back Nicholas Cooper to put the ball at the Eagles’ 17-yard line. On third down and eight yards to go, however, Rams’ signal caller Dunston was stripped of the ball by Henderson and Campbell fell on the fumble.

NCCU drove 40 yards in 10 plays to set up Gilbert for his third field goal of the day, this time from 34 yards out with 2:52 left in the contest to make the score 23-16.

With a chance to tie, WSSU completed a 13-yard pass on a third-and-14 play to bring up fourth down and a yard to go at the NCCU 29-yard line. For one last time, the Eagle defense stepped up big time, denying the Rams a first down on a rush attempt up the middle.

WSSU out-gained the Eagles 192 total yards to 154. The Rams rushed for 167 yards and threw for 25, while NCCU ran for 80 yards and passed for 74.

The Eagles also made history by becoming the highest scoring team in the school’s record books, tallying 370 points for an average of 30.8 points per game. NCCU was declared the HBCU Football Mid-Major Division National Champion as the No. 1 ranked team in the final TSPN/Classic Cuts Top 10 HBCU Mid-Major football poll, presented by The Heritage Group.

The Eagles also made history by becoming the highest scoring team in the school’s record books, tallying 371 points for an average of 30.9 points per game.
