The Norfolk State University intercollegiate athletics program has experi-enced unprecedented success at the NCAA Division I level during the past six years (2005-11). This period of progress has been highlighted by improve-ments in virtually every area critical to transforming the NSU athletics program into a highly competitive program that will consistently challenge for Mid-East-ern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and NCAA Division I championships. The catalyst for these advancements has been Marty Miller, who was ap-pointed athletics director at NSU in December 2004. Miller believes that the mission of the athletics program is an extension of the mission of Norfolk State University. He places an emphasis on areas that impact the welfare of student-athletes. Improving graduation rates, gender equity, and the retention of student-athletes are equally, if not more important, than winning conference and national championships. However, the initiatives designed to enhance the student-athlete experience and improve the overall administrative process have been successful due to the achievements of the teams and individual athletes. Perhaps the biggest achievement came in early 2009, when the athletics department was recertified to receive NCAA accreditation for the next 10 years. By achieving certification status, NSU is considered to be operating its athletics program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA’s Division I mem-bership. Numerous staff and coaching hires have been made to enhance the department’s efficacy. New personnel have been hired in the areas of academic support, compliance, business operations and development to meet the grow-ing demand in those departments. A host of new head coaches joined the staff signaling new beginnings in several sports. They included Pete Adrian (Foot-ball), Claudell Clark (Baseball), Anthony Evans (Men’s Basketball), Debra Clark (Women’s Basketball), Heidi Cavallo (Softball), Brandon Duvall (Volleyball), and Wilhelmenia Harrison (Bowling). Kenneth Giles (Men’s Track) and Ronda Berard (Women’s Track) were promoted from interim to full-time head coaches in their respective sports. Giles’ cross country and track teams have dominated the MEAC. Adrian has orchestrated the steady progress of the football team, which came within a game of capturing its first MEAC title in 2007. Evans led the Spartans to the MEAC Tournament championship game in his second year, and Claudell Clark helped guide the baseball team to a runner-up finish at the MEAC Champion-

ships in 2008 and 2011. Harrison was named

the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2010-11 after leading

the bowling team to MEAC Southern Division

regular-season for the second time in three years. Duvall was also named the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2010 after guiding NSU to its best overall and MEAC record

in Division I, while Cavallo led the Spartans to a D-I

best 13-game win streak in 2011.

The accomplishments of NSU student-athletes in the

classroom since 2005 have been equally impressive. The number of athletes annually named to the MEAC Commissioner’s All-Academic Team has steadily increased, and now numbers 40 or more each year.

8 2011 NSU FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Norfolk State University was founded in 1935 as a beacon of hope to the region’s youth—especially within the African American commu-nity. Brought to life in the midst of the Great Depression, the university was named the Norfolk Unit of Virginia Union University at its founding and was one of the last historically black institutions established in the Commonwealth of Virginia. By 1969, Norfolk State University began its transformation into a vibrant, independent college and was bestowed university status in 1979. More than 75 years later, the University remains a source of inspira-tion for those who aspire to fulfill their dreams. A four-year public institu-tion, NSU is located in the dynamic Hampton Roads region of Virginia and is close to the Virginia Beach oceanfront and downtown Norfolk. Additionally, NSU is one of the nation’s largest HBCUs with an enrollment of nearly 7,000 students and a faculty of nearly 300, with more than half holding terminal degrees. The University offers a variety of academic programs within the following schools and colleges: College of Liberal Arts; the College of Science, Engineering and Technology; the Honors College; the School of Business; the School of Education; the Ethelyn R. Strong School of Social Work; the School of Extended Learning; and the Graduate School. NSU offers 32 undergraduate, 16 master’s and three doctoral degrees.

Expanding Learning Capacity Norfolk State University has been recognized as one of the top 25 producers of cyber security professionals, according to US Black Engineer and Information Technology Magazine. Additionally, the University has also been named in recent years as one of the top 50 producers of Afri-can-American Ph.D. recipients, according to Inside Higher Ed. The finding, based on a National Science Foundation report, says that Historically Black Colleges and Universities are graduating a growing share of African Americans who go on to earn Ph.D.s in science and engineering. NSU’s Dozoretz National Institute for Mathematics and Applied Sciences (DNIMAS), established in 1985, is specifically geared toward increasing the number of Ph.D.s in science technology, engineering, and mathe-matics. More than 50 percent of DNIMAS scholars have earned advanced degrees. Norfolk State University also has been named a “military friendly school,” which means that the university is successful at offering the nec-essary financial benefits, flexibility in scheduling and support programs to service members. Most recently, the university entered into an agree-ment with the U.S. Navy to provide the bachelor’s degree in interdisci-plinary studies through the Navy College Program Distance Learning Partnership coordinated through the School of Extended Learning. The Navy’s distance learning program is vital in providing sailors with the best possible options for obtaining higher educational degrees wherever they may be assigned. Now, sailors may apply to Norfolk State University to obtain a degree in interdisciplinary studies in an online environment. Our School of Extended Learning expertly places the convenience of the digital age at the fingertips of learners. The School works with the academic and administrative units of the University by serving as an extension of the NSU campus. It offers coursework through distance education, continuing education and certificate programs. Additional degree programs include Master of Arts degrees in Pre-Elementary Edu-cation, Elementary Education (Pre-K-6), Pre-Elementary Early Education with an emphasis on Childhood Special Education and Urban Educa-tion, as well as graduate certificates in Transition Special Education and Bilingual Special Education.

Building for the Future The University is building for the future with the construction of a three-story, 132,000-square-foot library that will house library services, archives and a 24/7 Internet café, individual and group study rooms, a multimedia project room, virtual conference room, a 24-hour study area, exercise equipment, and an African art gallery. One of the new library’s distinguishing features is a 90-foot high glass atrium that will provide

areas to display current student and faculty artwork, and also serve as a gathering area for multi-purpose events. The new library will provide the latest technology and create an exciting study and research environ-ment for students. Upon completion in December 2011, the library will also reshape the look of the campus. The old library will be razed and a beautiful quadrangular pedestrian mall between the new library and the New Student Center will be created. From the days of the Great Depression to the Digital Age, Norfolk State University continues to achieve. Today, NSU remains an active and vital component of the Hampton Roads region, the Commonwealth of Virginia and the nation. Our faculty researchers have forged partnerships that have created cutting-edge virtual learning environments and the world’s smallest laser - both of which will have an impact on our every-day lives. Our graduates establish and lead corporations, distinguish themselves in their industries and fields of study and provide humanitar-ian aid around the world. Norfolk State University has played a vital role in our community in the past, is serving in a critical role today, and will continue to be an academic leader in the future.

Fifteen.returning.starters.and.more.than.40.returning.letterwin-ners.will.look.to.continue.the.recent.upward.trend.for.the.Spartan.football.team.in.2011..NSU.has.notched.three.winning.seasons.in.the.last.four.years,.including.the.school’s.first.back-to-back.win-ning.records.(7-4.in.2009,.6-5.in.2010).since.moving.to.the.Division.I.level.over.a.decade.ago.. Led.by.a.sturdy.defense.and.a.new-look.offense,.seventh-year.NSU.head.coach.Pete Adrian.hopes.the.squad.he.has.assembled.is.capable.of.challenging.for.the.MEAC.crown... Following.is.a.position-by-position.glance.at.the.2011.Spartans.heading.into.preseason.practice..

Quarterback. The.Spartans.should.have.excellent.depth.under.center.with.the.return.of.a.pair.of.redshirt.seniors,.a.Division.I.FBS.transfer,.and.two.promising.freshmen.in.the.fold..Senior.Chris Walley.headlines.the.returnees.after.starting.all.11.games.in.2010..Walley.passed.for.1,859.yards.and.10.touchdowns.last.season.while.com-pleting.a.single-season.school.record.61.4.percent.of.his.passes..Walley.finished.the.season.ranked.second.in.the.conference.in.completion.percentage.and.third.in.passing.yards.. “We.look.for.Chris.to.pick.up.where.he.left.off,”.Adrian.said..“He’s.got.a.good.game.presence.about.him.in.that.he.never.changes.his.demeanor.”. Walley.will.be.pushed.for.time,.however,.by.Central.Florida.transfer.Nico Flores..The.redshirt.sophomore.from.Miami,.Fla.,.is.an.athletic.signal-caller.who.complements.Walley.well..Flores.was.rated.one.of.the.nation’s.top.35.quarterback.prospects.com-ing.out.of.North.Miami.Beach.High,.but.was.eventually.moved.to.receiver.at.UCF.. “Nico.is.extremely.athletic.and.has.a.very.strong.arm,”.Adrian.said..“He.and.Chris.have.gotten.along.great..They.are.competing.with.each.other,.but.both.know.they.will.have.the.chance.to.play.”. Redshirt.senior.Dexter Merritt.also.returns.for.NSU.after.serv-ing.as.Walley’s.backup.last.season..Injuries.have.hampered.Mer-ritt.over.the.course.of.his.career,.but.he.provides.a.smart,.poised.presence.off.the.NSU.bench.. Adrian.also.brings.in.two.athletic.high.school.quarterback.recruits.in.Brendon Riddick.(Richmond,.Va.).and.Wilonte’ Roscoe (Portsmouth,.Va.)..Riddick.accounted.for.more.than.2,500.yards.of.total.offense.and.36.touchdowns.en.route.to.All-Metro.Player.of.the.Year.honors.at.Hermitage.High.School.in.Richmond..Roscoe.is.a.dual-threat.player.from.Churchland.High.School.who.could.play.a.variety.of.positions.in.college.thanks.to.his.athleticism.

Running Back. NSU.must.replace.its.all-time.leading.rusher.in.DeAngelo Branche,.the.conference’s.leading.rusher.with.1,330.yards.last.season..The.Spartans.may.not.have.one.player.who.will.replace.all.of.Branche’s.production,.but.NSU.has.several.options.with.different.styles.and.abilities..The.most.experienced.options.are.redshirt.juniors.Takeem Hedgeman.and.Markeith Brisco..Hedge-man.was.Branche’s.backup.for.the.majority.of.2010..Hedgeman.finished.second.on.the.team.with.220.rushing.yards.and.a.pair.of.touchdowns..Brisco.had.141.rushing.yards.and.one.score.in.limited.touches..Both.will.have.the.chance.to.carry.a.heavier.load.

this.season.. “Hedgeman.had.a.great.spring,”.Adrian.said..“I.think.he’ll.show.a.big.improvement.because.his.playing.time.will.increase..He.can.expect.to.get.12-18.touches.per.game,.sometimes.more,.whereas.before.he.may.have.gotten.4-8.”. Joining.Hedgeman.and.Brisco.in.the.backfield.will.be.West.Hills.College.(Calif.).transfer.Randy Maynes.(Miami,.Fla.)..Maynes.(5-9,.170).is.a.quick.runner.with.good.speed.who.played.prep.foot-ball.with.Flores.and.NSU.safety.Ricardo Volcin.at.North.Miami.Beach.High.School..He.ran.for.1,500.yards.and.16.touchdowns.in.his.two.years.at.West.Hills.. Also.in.the.mix.are.three.walk-ons:.junior.Calvin Roberts.and.freshmen.Dre’Quez lambert.(Virginia.Beach,.Va.).and.Dallas Sim-mons.(Richmond,.Va.).. The.Spartans.also.have.the.services.of.redshirt.senior.fullback.Josh Alford.at.their.disposal..Alford.has.been.a.valuable.blocker,.short-yardage.runner.and.receiver.out.of.the.NSU.backfield.over.the.last.three.years.and.will.be.counted.upon.for.more.of.the.same.in.2011.

Receiver. Heading.into.the.2010.season,.NSU.was.relatively.inexperi-enced.at.the.receiver.positions..The.opposite.is.true.this.year,.as.the.Spartans.return.their.top.two.pass-catchers.and.have.several.other.players.who.gained.the.first.significant.playing.time.of.their.careers.last.year.. Leading.the.way.are.redshirt.senior.Victor Hairston.and.redshirt.junior.Reggie Garrett..Both.have.switched.positions.since.coming.to.NSU,.and.both.are.now.thriving.in.their.new.roles..Hair-ston,.a.former.running.back,.led.the.Spartans.and.ranked.second.in.the.conference.with.52.receptions.last.year..He.also.led.the.team.with.580.receiving.yards,.and.he.hauled.in.two.touchdown.catches... Garrett.began.his.career.at.NSU.as.a.walk-on.quarterback,.only.to.make.the.move.to.wideout.last.year..He.worked.his.way.up.the.depth.chart.last.year.before.bursting.onto.the.scene.with.30.catches,.436.yards.and.a.team-high.three.TDs.–.all.coming.in.the.final.five.games.of.the.year..Despite.not.catching.a.pass.until.the.

Reggie Garrett caught.30.passes.for.436.yards.for.NSU.last.year.-.all.in.the.final.five.games.of.the.season..

SEASON OUTLOOK


seventh.game.of.2010,.Garrett.finished.the.season.ranked.10th.in.the.conference.in.receiving.yards.. “We.look.for.more.of.the.same.from.Victor.and.Reggie,”.Adrian.said..“They.both.were.very.consistent.last.season.and.we’ll.need.that.from.them.again.this.year.”. NSU.often.starts.three.or.more.wide.receivers.in.its.spread.offense,.so.the.Spartans.will.be.searching.to.build.depth.at.those.positions..Sophomore.speedster.Kelvin lewis.returns.after.catch-ing.four.passes.for.78.yards.(19.5.average).as.a.freshman.last.season..Sophomore.Derrick Demps.and.junior.Tyrece Shepherd.both.caught.just.one.pass.each.last.season,.but.saw.increased.playing.time.as.the.year.progressed... Seniors.Seth Travers.and.Josh Reamon.will.also.be.given.the.chance.to.earn.more.prominent.roles.. Adrian.also.brings.in.three.new.wideouts.to.add.depth..Freshmen.DeAndre Sangster,.Holden Bass.and.Keith Johnson.all.possess.good.speed.and.will.have.the.chance.to.see.the.field.immediately.. “At.this.point,.we.aren’t.looking.to.redshirt.any.of.the.freshman.receivers,”.Adrian.said..“All.of.them.will.be.given.the.chance.to.earn.playing.time.right.away.”. The.Spartans.only.got.11.total.receptions.from.their.tight.end.position.last.year,.but.coaches.expect.that.number.to.increase.in.2011..Three-year.starter.Sherron Childress is.gone,.but.NSU.returns.fifth-year.senior.Joseph Holbrook,.who.had.two.catches.last.year.in.limited.action..The.Spartans.also.moved Joe Hawkins,.who.played.receiver.most.of.last.year,.to.tight.end..Hawkins.had.nine.catches.last.year,.and.coaches.think.his.combination.of.size.and.speed.will.translate.to.the.game.better.at.tight.end..The.Spartans.also.welcome.in.freshmen.James lynch.(Darby,.Pa.),.Tevin White (Chesapeake,.Va.).and.Joey Wood.(Chesapeake,.Va.).to.that.position.and.think.they.could.also.factor.in.

Offensive line.

The.Spartans.do.return.two.key.holdovers.from.last.year’s.line,.led.by.two-time.All-MEAC.left.tackle.Kendall Noble..Now.a.redshirt.senior,.Noble.has.started.32.consecutive.games.and.was.a.second-team.all-conference.pick.last.year..Junior.Michael Kay is.NSU’s.most.experienced.returning.lineman.outside.of.Noble..Kay.started.the.final.three.games.of.the.year.at.left.guard,.but.has.earned.the.starting.center.spot.heading.into.the.2011.season.. Redshirt.juniors.Blake Matthews,.Theo Duncan.and.Kenneth Johnson.have.served.as.reserves.throughout.their.careers.at.NSU,.but.all.will.be.given.the.chance.to.earn.starting.spots.this.season.–.Johnson.at.right.tackle,.and.Duncan.and.Matthews.at.the.guard.positions..All.three.worked.with.the.first-team.line.dur-ing.spring.practice.and.drew.praise.from.the.coaching.staff.for.

their.improvement.. Julius Wormley,.E.J. Rogers and.Justin Myler all.sat.out.the.2010.season.but.will.be.given.the.chance.to.crack.the.two-deep.along.the.line.this.fall..Coaches.are.also.excited.about.the.poten-tial.of.freshman.recruits.George Riddick.(Suffolk,.Va.).and.Ramsey Henderson (Washington,.D.C.).

Defensive line. NSU.is.well-stocked.with.experienced.defensive.linemen..It.all.starts.with.redshirt.senior.nose.guard.Josh Turner,.a.two-time.All-MEAC.selection.who.tied.for.the.team-lead.with.12.0.tackles.for.loss.last.season..Turner’s.strength.and.quickness.in.the.middle.of.the.line.are.a.key.factor.in.the.success.of.the.Spartans’.3-4.scheme... Senior.Joey Christine.flanks.Turner.at.one.of.the.two.defen-sive.tackle.spots..Christine.started.all.11.games.last.season.and.was.in.on.21.tackles,.2.5.for.loss..NSU.lost.its.other.starting.tackle,.Ray Jennings.(12.0.TFL,.team-high.5.0.sacks),.but.the.Spartans.have.no.shortage.of.bodies.to.man.his.position.and.add.quality.depth..Senior.Steven Bunce.has.played.in.25.games.in.his.first.three.years..He.appeared.in.just.five.games.last.season.due.to.a.nagging.knee.injury..Sophomore.Matthew Grant.played.in.six.games.as.a.true.freshman.last.season.and.flashed.good.athleti-cism... Also.back.in.the.mix.is.redshirt.junior.Tory Williams..The.6-4,.290-pound.Williams.missed.last.season.due.to.surgery.to.correct.a.medical.problem,.but.should.also.be.at.full.strength.for.the.2011.season..Williams.made.17.tackles,.4.0.for.loss,.as.a.backup.during.his.redshirt.freshman.season.of.2009..

“We’ll.go.two-deep.with.very.good.players.at.the.outside.line-backer.positions,”.Adrian.said..“In.all,.our.front.seven.on.defense.is.shaping.up.to.be.very.good.and.very.deep.”

Defensive Back. The.Spartan.secondary.will.be.anchored.by.its.two.returning.senior.starters.at.the.safety.positions,.free.safety.DeVonte Reyn-olds.and.strong.safety.Ricardo Volcin..Both.started.all.11.games.at.their.respective.positions.last.year..Reynolds.was.second.on.the.team.with.60.total.tackles,.while.Volcin.was.fifth.on.the.team.with.43.stops,.including.4.0.for.loss.and.one.interception...

Cuffee.has.mostly.been.a.special.teams.player.and.reserve.during.his.career..Cooperwood.was.a.second-string.corner.in.2009.before.missing.last.year.with.a.knee.injury..Harris,.mean-while,.made.one.start.in.place.of.Barnes.last.year..Both.he.and.Center.had.13.tackles.and.two.pass.breakups,.Taylor.had.an.inter-ception.off.the.bench,.and.Sullivan.impressed.on.the.scout.team.. “We.lose.both.starters.at.corner,.but.Center.and.Harris.played.a.good.deal.last.season.off.the.bench..Cooperwood.did.the.same.in.2009,”.Adrian.said..“So.inexperience.isn’t.much.of.an.excuse..As.usual,.we.look.to.rotate.a.number.of.players.at.those.spots.”

Special Teams.
