2013 SPRING / SUMMER NOTES
WILSON MAKES IT FOUR STRAIGHT Prairie View A&M defensive end Jarvis Wilson made a favorable impression on the gridiron and earned a contract with the NFL's Green Bay Packers after participat-ing in the team's rookie orientation camp. A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Wilson
flew down to Green Bay to participate in the team's rookie orientation camp which featured 11 of the team's draft picks, a dozen rookie and first-year free-agent signees and 27 tryout players. Wilson entered camp as a tryout player and overcame the odds as he was one of five tryout players offered a contract by the team and will hit the ground run-ning as he'll participate in Green Bay's organized team activities (OTAs) next week. As a senior at Prairie View A&M, Wilson registered 63 tackles, including eight tackles for loss, a half-sack, a forced fumble, four QB hurries and two passes defensed. As a junior in 2011, Wilson posted 59 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, seven sacks, a forced fumble, three QB hurries and two passes defensed. Wilson becomes the third consecutive defensive end from Prairie View A&M under head coach Heishma North-ern and defensive line coach Miles Brandon to earn a spot on an NFL roster as he joins Quinton Spears (Indianapolis Colts) and Adrian Hamilton (Baltimore Ravens). Like Spears and Hamilton, Wilson will move to linebacker as the Packers employ a 3-4 defense.
HOME SWEET HOME
Eight games inside the state of Texas, including four home games at Blackshear Field, three classics, a Football Bowl Subdivision battle and the renewal of two in-state matchups against Southland Con-
ference foes, highlight the 2013 Prairie View A&M Panther football schedule. The 12-game schedule marks the most games the team will play since 1953. “Eight games in the state of Texas is pretty big for us,” said head coach Heishma Northern. “Not having to travel and miss class as much compared to last season is big and the schedule allow us to have more support when we go on the road. This is a pretty good schedule which will be chal-lenging as there are no cupcakes. We have to come out prepared to both play and win.”
MCMILLIAN TO CORDINATE PANTHER DEFENSE IN 2013 Prairie View A&M head football coach Heishma Northern filled a key posi-tion on his coaching staff with the hiring of Charles McMillian as the team's defen-sive coordinator. McMillian brings with him a wealth of experience on the defensive
side of the ball as a former assistant in the Big 12, Big Ten, Mountain West and Conference USA. McMillian last coached at Texas A&M under current Miami Dolphins assistant Mike Sherman. McMillian will be tasked with rejuvenating a defensive unit which ranked ninth in the SWAC in total defense.
BARRICK NAMED ON COLLEGE FOOTBALL PERFORMANCE AWARDS WATCH LIST Prairie View A&M kicker Chris Barrick was named on the 2013 College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) FCS Watch List for the 2013 CFPA Placekicker Award. Barrick, a 6-4 junior out of Copperas
Cove, led the Panthers in scoring with 65 points and ranked second in the Southwestern Athletic Conference in field goal percentage, going 9-for-11 last season. Barrick was named the SWAC Specialist of the Week on Oct. 22, 2012 following his team's 52-37 win over Alcorn State he went 7-for-7 on PATS and added a 23-yard field goal to pick up his second-career Specialist of the Week honor. On kickoffs in 2012, Barrick averaged 56.1 yards per kick off of 54 attempts. He was named to the All-SWAC Second Team to cap off his season. The CFPA is the largest awards organization in Division I college football, and it selected all of its recipients based upon objective scientific rankings to the extent of which individual players increase the overall effectiveness of their teams. All players are eligible for awards at their respective positions; players are not preemptively eliminated from consideration. The winner will be announced Jan. 8, 2014.

2013 SEASON PREVIEW
For the second straight offseason, Prairie View
A&M head coach Heishma Northern could pull out a
pencil and assemble a laundry list of items which kept
the football team from getting over the hump and achiev-
ing winning a record. Last season, the Panthers started
off on the wrong foot with a heartbreaking last-second
loss in the Labor Day Classic and concluded the season
in similar fashion with a one-point, fourth quarter loss to
the eventual SWAC Champion on their home turf.
In between, the Panthers experienced a plethora of
scenarios last season as they had to overcome the loss
of practice time due to APR, injuries and fourth quarter
breakdowns en route to a disappointing 3-8 re-
cord. However, the good news is that the practice re-
strictions are gone and the team is older and wiser which
should eliminate last year’s mental and physical break-
downs.
“Looking back at last year, we had quite a few
breakdowns in the fourth quarter, whether it was on the
offensive or defensive side of the ball, even special
teams where it was one play that flipped the outcome of
five or six games where we either were close to the lead,
had the lead, or let the lead go in the fourth quarter,” said
Northern. “With us getting our practice time back from
APR penalties and having a few days to work out and be
on the field with our players, we won’t make some of the
mental busts, physical mistakes or some of the coaching
mistakes that we made last year. I think if we can get
everything worked out, it will get us back to where we
want to be and that’s eventually in Houston playing at
Reliant (Stadium) at the end of the season for the SWAC
Championship.”
The Panthers return 67 letterwinners from last
year’s team and are hungrier than ever to put last sea-
son behind them as Northern is motivated to field a win-
ner in his third season at the helm of the program. Dur-
ing the spring, the Panthers worked on fine-tuning their
offensive system while on defense, change was in the air
as the program welcomed a new defensive coordinator
and a new scheme. With the additional practice time
PANTHERS SET OUT TO FINISH WHERE THEY STARTED AS THEY PREPARE FOR THEIR 2012 CAMPAIGN
PROJECTED STRENGTHS: Sixty-seven lettermen return for the Panthers in 2013 after a disappointing 2012 campaign. The offense features nine starters returning from a unit which had plenty of success in the SWAC last fall. The special teams unit returns nearly intact along with the entire linebacking corps. EARLY QUESTION: Once again, will the secondary rebound after a subpar 2012 campaign? How will the defense adjust to new coordinator Charles McMillian and the shuffling of coaches on the defensive side of the ball? Offensively, will the Panthers rely on two quarterbacks or one will take command? Who’ll pick the slack up for departed senior Spencer Nelson at punt returner and wide receiver? What’s the plan to replace six seniors on the defensive line? How will the Panthers respond to the travel friendly schedule? TOP AWARDS CANDIDATES: De’Auntre Smiley was National FCS Player of the Week last season and has the ability to move to another level if he can stay healthy this season. Johnta’ Hebert was the SWAC Freshman of the Year at kick returner while Tre Glover looks to earn his third straight All-SWAC honor at offensive line.

NORTHERN
2013 SEASON PREVIEW back, Northern said everyone involved with the program
from the players to the coaches will benefit as mental
repetition and exposure were the biggest issues the
team faced in 2012.
“As coaches, we may know or think we have an idea
of how to stop things or how to attack certain things, but
if you can’t get that point across to your players then
you’re very limited in what you can do,” he said. “In the
beginning, we thought it wasn’t going to hurt us that bad,
but looking back at it, you can see some of the small
things, maybe in the conditioning aspect of it, as well as,
the communication aspect of it. We were not able to
catch up to because of the limited amount of practice
time.”
OFFENSE
Offensively, nine starters return to the gridiron this
fall as the team will have to replace fifth-year veterans
Spencer Nelson and Langston Patterson. Nelson was
one of the most valuable players on the squad with his
versatility while Patterson served as the leader of the
offensive line. Both players will be missed with a com-
bined eight years of playing experience but the beat
goes on as filling both positions were priorities in the
spring. Statistically, the Panthers were nearly unstoppa-
ble as they ranked first amongst SWAC programs in total
offense with 416.6 yards per game. Prairie View A&M
finished second in pass offense (393.8), third in scoring
offense (27.7) and first in passing efficiency (175.1).
QUARTERBACK
Returning for the third year is the quarterback-
ing duo of De’Auntre Smiley and Jerry Lovelocke.
Last season, the duo combined to throw for 2,462 yards
and 16 touchdowns as both saw plenty of action. On the
ground, Smiley was also a threat as he rushed for 367
yards and three scores followed by two rushing touch-
downs from Lovelocke. Both players have intangibles
you can't teach which complement the team well. On
the surface, some people may think having two quarter-
backs who've played extensively as a distraction, but
Northern said it's beneficial for his team.
“The biggest thing is making sure they under-
stand situational football and just being leaders of the
team no matter who’s there,” said Northern. “Sometimes
the guys may play at a faster pace with Smiley in than
they do with Jerry but Jerry may have better passing
numbers. Jerry may not be the athlete that Smiley is but
you look back at some of the bigger games that we had
and you can’t tell a difference whether it was Jerry or
Smiley.
“You go back to the Southern game, Smiley
was National FCS Player of the Week,” added Northern.
“But if you go back to the Arkansas-Pine Bluff game,
even though it was a game that we lost, I think we put up
40-something points against a team that won the confer-
ence championship with Jerry at quarterback and without
(running back) Fred Anderson. That lets our guys know
that we can play pretty much with anyone in the confer-
ence but we just have to get those guys to understand,
'yes we want big plays', but we don’t want to make plays
that are going to hurt us as well.”

SMILEY
2013 SEASON PREVIEW Waiting in the wings is redshirt freshman David
“Trey” Green from Beaumont, Texas. Green showed
flashes of potential during the team's spring game and
will be ready to play if called upon this fall.
RUNNING BACK
Like quarterback, the Panthers feature a dual
rushing attack with Fred Anderson and Courtney
Brown back for their junior seasons. They combined to
rush for 1,105 yards last season and 11 touchdowns with
Brown rushing for nine. Northern said both players will
split carries once again and is confident in both carrying
the load solo if the situation calls for it.
“We still plan on rotating our running backs be-
cause of the pace that we play at,” he said. “We are
going to play both guys and if we get a hot-hand we’ll go
with the hot-hand, but at the same time I don’t think we
miss a beat with either one of those guys back there
running the football for us.”
Also back is sophomore Johnta' Hebert, the
reigning SWAC Freshman of the Year. Hebert is a valu-
able back with his speed but also offers a pass catching
option out of the backfield. The Baton Rouge, La. native
will play a variety of roles for the team this season.
The team also signed several young running
backs with solid backgrounds during the spring signing
period so by the time the season starts, depth won't be a
problem.
FULLBACK
At fullback, the team lost Krys Watkins to
graduation which creates a big void due to Watkins' ver-
satility at blocking, running and pass catching. Senior
Josh Curry will enter camp as the starter at the position
but Northern is also confident in Walter Barreda, a
transfer who saw plenty of action during the spring
game. Northern also mentioned he may move some of
his defensive players to fullback to solidify depth at the
position.
“We have Josh Curry as our primary fullback
and we have a transfer in Barreda who’s a young, stocky
fullback,” said Northern. “He can catch the ball out of the
backfield and he does an excellent job blocking in the
line. We have to get him to improve his edge blocking.
“We may move one of our linebackers to full-
back just to have enough bodies over there,” added
Northern. “We don’t use our fullbacks a lot but when we
use them, we want to use them to the fullest of their abil-
ity to help our program. We still want to be tops in run-
ning the football as well as passing the football too.”
WIDE RECEIVER
The Panthers will be without all-conference
standout Spencer Nelson this season for the first time in
five years but do return an experienced unit which im-
proved every week. Senior Deandre Cooper, who was
granted a sixth year of eligibility due to a catastrophic
injury several years ago, is back after catching 34 recep-
tions for 532 yards and five touchdowns. Senior Robert
Primes, who came on late, is also back after finishing
third on the team in receptions along with Jacoby

anderson
2013 SEASON PREVIEW Anderson and Gabe Dunlap. Northern is confident in
his unit as several players have shown an ability to step
up and produce when their number was called.
“We signed a young man named Dontae Ingra-
ham that may come in and compete right away while we
also have a couple of guys returning in Gabe Dunlap,
Keylon LaSalle and Patrick Gant who all played some,”
stated Northern. “Gant actually had a real good game
during our season finale last year so we look forward to
those guys being in the mix as well. It's going to be hard
replacing Spencer but that’s the reason why football is a
team game. Spencer has been injured and suspended
before so we’ve had guys step up and do an outstanding
job in his place. So hopefully we’ll continue that trend.”
TIGHT END
With the evolution of football, the tight end posi-
tion has transitioned towards an extra receiver designed
for mismatches as opposed to the traditional, big-bodied
blocker, short yardage pass catcher teams have em-
ployed in the past. However, the Panthers have both
types of tight ends on the roster entering the fall which
opens the door up for a variety of scenarios on the field.
Junior Olatunde' Idowu is the top returning
tight end followed by former defensive lineman Kelechi
Okeadu. Idowu is a solid pass catcher while Okeadu is
a solid blocker as evident by his background as a line-
man. The team also added a junior college tight end in
Zach Hoppenworth-Pedersen during the spring signing
period that’ll provide a boost to the team's passing
game.
“Olatunde is a real good pass catcher as he can
catch the ball with the best of them,” said Northern. “We
may line him up in the slot and try to use his size to block
some linebackers, safeties or defensive linemen. Kel-
echi has done an outstanding job of improving his hands
as he came to us as a defensive lineman before moving
to tight end to help solidify our running game. Zach is
about 6-5, 6-6 who's a little bit on the slender side but he
can definitely stretch the defense going down the middle.
“We have a good mixture of guys that can do
some run blocking, pass catching and that’s what we
need at that spot,” added Northern. “We have to have
some guys that are multiple and do more than one thing
to help our offense move the ball down the field.”
OFFENSIVE LINE
Four starters are back on an offensive line
which ranked second in the SWAC in sacks against and
the anchor of an offensive unit which finished first in total
offense with 416.6 yards per game, tops in pass effi-
ciency (175.1), second in pass offense (393.8) and third
in scoring offense (27.7). Even though the line returns
four starters, the one open spot belonged to a five-year
veteran of the program in offensive guard Langston
Patterson. While the team searches for Patterson's
successor, holdovers Dillon Bonnet, Tre Glover and
Glen Haisley will be expected to lead the way.
“We’ve done a pretty good job of protecting our
quarterback and being able to move the ball,” said North-
ern. “We’ve struggled against some of the bigger defen-
sive lines in our conference and non-conference sched-
ule so we have to make sure our guys are getting
stronger and faster.”
Redshirt junior tackle Tre Glover leads the way
as he's coming off an all-conference season while red-
PANTHER FOOTBALL // 12

2013 SEASON PREVIEW shirt junior center Dillon Bonnet is one of the league's
best at his position. Redshirt sophomore Glen Haisley
settled into one of the guard spots and had a solid sea-
son along with redshirt sophomore Denzel Lewis.
“Tre is a redshirt going into his junior year and
made all-conference twice and with Dillon coming back
along with Glenn, I think the leadership of those guys
having been around the program will help our other guys
get up to speed,” said Northern. “Denzel has played
some, but we may move him to tackle so it’s always an
adjustment when you have new guys that haven’t played
a lot but at the same time that’s why they came to col-
lege - to get a chance to play and show why they’re on
scholarship.”
DEFENSE
Once the backbone of the program, the tide has
changed as the Panther offense has supplanted the de-
fensive unit as the headliner. The Panthers struggled
defensively last fall as they finished ninth in total de-
fense, seventh in rush defense, ninth in scoring defense,
10th in pass defense and ninth in sacks. As a result, the
2013 season will usher in a new era as the team
changed coordinators during the offseason and brought
in Charles McMillian to revamp the unit. McMillian
brings with him a wealth of experience on the defensive
side of the ball as a former assistant in the Big 12, Big
Ten, Mountain West and Conference USA.
“If you look at our defense its going to be a mix-
ture of what he has done at TCU as well as a little bit of
what we’ve had some success with here and a little bit of
Texas A&M from a standpoint of having a primary pass
rusher on all downs,” said Northern. “Hopefully, we can
get it turned around and create more turnovers than we
have the past few years. We have to limit our missed
tackles, increase our hustle and score some defensive
points or we won’t get back to being one of the top de-
fenses in not only the SWAC but in the country as well.”
McMillian will have a task on his hand as the
unit loses six starters from last season coupled with a
secondary unit which has yet to find an identity.
“On the defensive side of the ball, we lost quite a few
defensive lineman,” said Northern. “But, sort of looking
back at it, it may not have been the worst thing to hap-
pen to our program. We lost one linebacker, Elton
Holmes, that played quite a bit but we return some guys
that were injured last year such as Chuck Obi and
Jerome Howard at linebacker. “We’ll have a mix-and-
match secondary as some guys have played for us but
we'll also have some new guys that are going to have to
step up and make some plays in order for us to be suc-
cessful.”
DEFENSIVE LINE
The Panthers were decimated on the defensive line
with the loss of six seniors. One of the seniors, Jarvis
Wilson, became the third consecutive Panther to move
on to the NFL while the remaining five linemen were in
the program for quite some time. However, Northern
doesn't seem fazed with the losses as he's eager to work
PANTHER FOOTBALL // 13

HOWARD
2013 SEASON PREVIEW with a new group of linemen in the new scheme.
“We want them to be able to disrupt the offensive line
with a lot of movement and some stunts but at the same
time we want those guys to make plays,” said Northern.
“A lot of times people feel like when you play a three-
man front sometimes those guys are not expected to
make plays; they're just clogging up holes so the line-
backer can make plays. We want whoever is on the field
to make plays.”
Exiting spring drills, junior college transfer Darrien
Patterson and sophomore Meshak Williamson will be
expected to provide leadership. Amir Smith, who has
played multiple positions throughout his career, is a fifth-
year senior Northern is high on.
“We’re sort of looking for that next guy to follow in the
lines of the Adrian Hamilton’s, the Jarvis Wilson’s, the
Quentin Spears',” said Northern. “I think that’s definitely
going to be a motivating factor as I think Amir is probably
going to have the best chance. He worked out for the
scouts at our junior day and did a pretty good job and
they were intrigued. Here’s a guy that played quarter-
back, safety, linebacker and now he’s moving to the de-
fensive line. He's something like Spears, who came here
as a wide receiver and I convinced him to play defense
and now he’s going into his third year in the NFL. So
hopefully, everything will work out where somebody can
sort of think ‘hey this is my chance’ and grab it by the
horns and take full advantage of the opportunity they
have.
Help is also on the way as the Panthers were active
on the recruiting trail this past spring as they inked four
defensive linemen. Three of the four linemen who're
headed to Prairie View A&M hail from the junior college
ranks.
LINEBACKER
While the team searches for its identity up front and
in the secondary, the linebackers will have to lead the
way early on. Fortunately, experience won't be a prob-
lem as the top three tacklers from last year all return and
are expected to be healthy by the fall.
Junior Jerome Howard burst on to the scene last
year with 101 tackles and 12.5 tackles for loss. The Fort
Lauderdale, Fla. native is expected to play at an even
higher level this fall and quickly took to the new system
as Northern said he had an outstanding spring. Senior
Raheem Cardwell finished third on the team with 68
tackles last fall and should have a memorable senior
campaign followed by senior Chuck Obi. Unlike Howard
and Cardwell, Obi couldn't participate in spring drills due
to an injury which makes summer camp very important
for the California native.
The team also welcomes redshirt freshman James
Paul Bryant to the fold as he begins his first season at
outside linebacker after practicing at defensive end in the
fall. Northern is very high on the youngster as he has
PANTHER FOOTBALL // 14

cardwell
2013 SEASON PREVIEW the ability to anchor the defense for the next few years.
“We moved James Paul from defensive end to out-
side linebacker and we think the sky is the limit for him
with his athletic ability,” said Northern. “He has a very
good attitude about football and has a very high motor.
So hopefully he can develop into a guy that for three or
four years, SWAC offensive coordinators will have some-
thing to think about.”
SECONDARY
For the third straight season, the Panthers will fea-
ture a revamped secondary as the team used a variety
of lineups last season. At the conclusion of spring drills,
it appears the Panthers are headed towards a youth
movement once again as the four projected starters
have a combined two years of action on the Football
Championship Subdivision level.
Senior free safety Korey Alston returns for his final
season after accounting for 41 tackles and a sack last
season followed by fellow senior safety Adrian Grant
(36 tackles). At corner, sophomore Stephen Meighan
came on strong late in the season with 47 tackles and
five pass breakups as a true freshman. Senior Chris
Motley also returns at corner as he recorded eight tack-
les in limited action.
Youth is abundant in the secondary as five players
on the projected two-deep have yet to play a down in
FCS action so they'll have to grow up early. Junior
strong safety David Metcalf, a mid-year junior college
transfer, will be expected to provide leadership to a
young unit which also features two redshirt freshmen in
Joshua Holley and Foster Brown. The unit gets even
younger in the fall with the addition of four freshmen who
may see early action if they pick up the system.
A former secondary standout in college, Northern is
determined to shore up this unit even if it means simplify-
ing things.
“I think a big part of it is sort of taking some of the
muddy water out of the equation,” said Northern. “We
may not have the guys read so much defensively outside
of the basics. If it's man (defense), it's man and if it's
zone, it’s zone. If you clear that up a little bit for the
guys, I think that will help us in situational football along
with the extended practice time we lost last season.”
Northern also stated the success of the secondary
depends on a bit of luck, coaching and players making
plays.
“Football is about football players making football
plays and sometimes they have to do some things that
coaches expect them to do, and then they have to do
some things that coaches maybe didn’t think that they
could quite do such as making a play sometimes more
so than just doing exactly what’s in the text book,” he
said. “If you can draw up a perfect play and have a
chance for a young man to make an interception but if he
doesn’t make that interception then it’s still bad coaching
because he didn’t make that play that could have
changed the game. I can look at the Jackson State
game in where we dropped four interceptions and it
looks like we (coaches) don’t have any idea what we’re
doing but if they catch three or four interceptions then we
look like the greatest coaches on earth so at the end of
the day it still boils down to football players making foot-
ball plays. Our job as coaches is to put them in position

2013 PRAIRIE VIEW A&M PANTHER FOOTBALL
ALSTON
2013 SEASON PREVIEW to make those plays and you have to try to find a way
that they can understand exactly what they’re supposed
to be doing.”
SPECIAL TEAMS
Experience is the name of the game for the special
teams unit as everyone from last season returns with the
exception of the team's punt returner. Junior placekicker
Chris Barrick rebounded from a rocky end to the 2011
season and vaulted himself into national consideration
this fall after booting 9-of-11 field goals and 38 PATs in
2012.
“Chris missed a PAT against Texas Southern in the
opener and he missed one against Pine Bluff at the end
of the year but throughout the year he was perfect,” said
Northern. “He missed two field goals and one I think
was a bad hold but he definitely bounced back and re-
stored his confidence.”
Sophomore All-SWAC second team kick returner
Johnta' Hebert was as good as advertised last fall with
nearly 1,000 kick return yards along with a touchdown
return. Junior punter Travis Jatzlau is also back as he
averaged nearly 40 yards per punt with 14 punts inside
the 20-yard line followed by six punts spanning 50-plus
yards. The Panthers do have a huge void to fill at punt
returner with the loss of Spencer Nelson and his 16.5
yards per punt return. Northern said Hebert has the first
opportunity to fill Nelson's shoes.
“Travis did a good job as he may not have the dis-
tance but he does a good job of pinning people to the
sideline and the 20-yard line,” said Northern. “We just
have to get Travis to overcome nervousness as he
dropped a few snaps at times. If he can get over that
hurdle, we think he’s going to have an outstanding year
for us as well.”
With the return and kicking specialists nearly intact,
Northern is most excited about the return of junior long
snapper Joe Sable.
“It doesn’t hurt when you have Joe Sable back,
who's one of the best deep snappers or long snappers in
the country” he said. “It all starts with Joe as we don’t
ask him to protect but he can do a lot of things such as
getting the ball back there in time and on target which
allows our guys to be able to catch and cut down on op-
eration time.”
SCHEDULE
With only two home games last year at Prairie
View A&M, this year's schedule is a welcomed relief with
eight games inside the state of Texas and four home
games at Blackshear Field. The 12-game schedule
marks the most games the team will play since 1953.
“Eight games in the state of Texas is pretty big for
us,” said Northern. “Not having to travel and miss class
as much compared to last season is big and the sched-
ule allows us to have more support when we go on the
road. This is a pretty good schedule which will be chal-
lenging as there are no cupcakes. We have to come out
prepared to both play and win.”
While the Panthers will have their typical nine-game
SWAC slate which is critical to the team's championship
hopes, Northern emphasized PV's non-conference slate

once again as very important with several regional foes
such as Stephen F. Austin, Texas State and Abilene
Christian on the schedule. He said those games go a
long way towards shaping a program's perception.
“I want to have a better non-conference record than
we had,” he said. “You lose to the national champions
(North Dakota State) the way we did last year and then
lose to an up-and-coming program like Lamar the way
we did it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. People start
doubting you and telling you how bad of a coach you are
and you have your players trying to tell you 'coach, we
have your back'.
We finished 5-6 in 2011 and I think some people
thought we were naturally going to take that next step to
7-4, 8-3 in 2012 and then we took a step back just like
we did when coach (Henry) Frazier was here in 2006.
Hopefully, we’ll be able to take that next step up.
“I want to have the best record we can and have a
chance to play at Reliant Stadium at the end of the sea-
son. I want to beat some non-conference schools. Make
no doubt about it; that is a high priority on my list as I
want to beat Texas State, Abilene Christian and Stephen

PRAIRIE VIEW A&M UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR ASHLEY ROBINSON
Ashley Robinson begins his first year as the Prairie View A&M University Director of Athletics. No stranger to Prairie View A&M, Robinson served as the Assistant Vice President of Athletic Compliance & Academic Advising for three years before a nine-month stint as the athletic direc-tor at Mississippi Valley State University. Mississippi Valley State won Southwestern Athletic Conference Championships in Men's Cross Country, Women's Soccer and Softball since Robinson assumed command as the Athletic Director on Sept. 17, 2012. He will take over a Prairie View A&M Athletics Department that has claimed its second-consecutive SWAC Commis-sioners Cup, which is awarded to the most successful University in terms of athletic achievement each season. A native of Jackson, Miss., Robinson was a four-year letterman in basketball and is the single season and ca-reer record-holder in assists after playing point guard for the Mississippi Valley State University basketball team. Robinson also was named MVSU Athlete of the Year in 2002, receiving the President's Scholar Award in that same year. In August of 2006, Robinson left Mississippi Valley to begin a career in athletic administration as an academic coordinator at Delaware State University in Dover, Del. Robinson helped implement a comprehensive aca-demic support system for the department's 300 student-athletes and was the department's liaison to DSU's fac-ulty, campus academic offices and support services. He also assisted with the CHAMPS / Life Skills and Student-Athlete Advisory (SAAC) Board. After eight months in Delaware, Robinson received
the opportunity to return home as he accepted the posi-tion of assistant compliance director at Jackson State University. His duties included assisting the compliance director in eligibility, student-athlete certification and rein-statement and enforcing the compliance bylaws of the NCAA, SWAC and Jackson State. Robinson continued to advance up the compliance ranks by returning to his alma mater of Mississippi Valley State as the athletic depart-ment's compliance director in August of 2007. In July of 2008, Robinson was named the SWAC'S Assistant Commissioner for Compliance. As the SWAC's Assistant Commissioner, Robinson supervised a NCAA Division I Collegiate Conference Compliance and Aca-demic Service department, the National Letter of Intent (NLI) program and was a liaison between the conference and the NCAA for rules, interpretations and appeals. He served as liaison to faculty athletic representatives, ath-letic directors and compliance directors. He also served as the conference office sport administrator for men's and women's basketball, track & field and volleyball in addition to event management assistance in terms of staffing, budgeting and coordinating.

PRAIRIE VIEW A&M UNIVERSITY HEAD FOOTBALL COACH HEISHMA NORTHERN
Heishma Northern was named the 31st head coach in university history on Dec. 13, 2010. No stranger to the Southwestern Athletic Conference, Northern begins his 17th season on the colle-giate level and ninth season at Prairie View A&M.
Last season, the Panthers became an offensive jugger-naut under Northern as they led the SWAC with 414.7 yards per game while also finishing first in pass efficiency (140.3), second in pass offense (228.0) and third in rush offense (186.7). Six players were named to the All-SWAC team with freshman Johnta’ Hebert earning SWAC Freshman of the Year honors.
Prairie View A&M continued its NFL tradition as former Panther defensive end Jarvis Wilson inked a free agent deal with the Green Bay Packers. Wilson’s signing marked the fourth straight year a student-athlete from Prairie View A&M signed an NFL Free Agent contract.
In his first season as head coach for the Panthers in 2011, Northern led one of the youngest teams in the Southwestern Athletic Conference to within one game of earning a SWAC Championship berth as Prairie View A&M finished tied for second in the SWAC’s Western Division. As a team, the Panthers placed five players on the 2011 All-SWAC Team, led the league in rush offense with 174.8 yards per game and finished with the third-best offensive unit in the SWAC. Defensively, Northern’s defensive background had a huge impact on the field as the Panthers led the SWAC with 45 sacks. Prairie View A&M also displayed sound discipline on the gridiron as they committed the fewest amount of penalties in the SWAC.
As a result of the team’s defensive prowess, defensive end Adrian Hamilton emerged as one of the top defenders in the nation as he set the SWAC and Prairie View A&M all-time sack re-cord with 20.5 sacks en route to earning 2011 co-SWAC Defensive Player of the Year honors and a third-place finish in the 2011 Buck Buchanan Award voting, which is awarded to the top defender on the Football Championship Subdivision level. Prairie View A&M’s fifth consecutive consensus AP All-American, Hamilton also played in two postseason all-star games in addition to becoming the second straight Panther defensive lineman to sign a NFL contract as he inked with the Dallas Cowboys.
In addition to Hamilton’s accomplishments, several other Panthers had impressive seasons under Northern as running back/kick returner Jermaine Waddy led the SWAC in all-purpose yards while cornerback Moses Ellis finished as the league’s top punt re-turner.
Prior to becoming head coach, Northern was an award-winning defensive coordinator for six seasons at Prairie View A&M. Under his watch, the Panther defense rose to become one of the top units in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Ranks.
For the fourth straight season, Northern’s defense pro-duced another All-American following the 2010 campaign as corner-back Moses Ellis led the nation in interceptions with eight and de-fended 22 passes en route to earning All-American and All-SWAC honors. As a unit, the Panthers finished second in pass defense amongst SWAC foes as they only yielded 164.6 yards per contest. As a result, four members of the Panther defense earned All-SWAC honors in Ellis (first team), defensive lineman Quinton Spears (first), free safety Chris Adingupu (second) and middle linebacker Max Sencherey (second).
Despite losing six key starters and a two-time All-American from the previous year, Prairie View’s defensive unit was instrumental during the team’s historic run to the SWAC Champion-ship in 2009 as the unit led the SWAC in scoring defense with 16.6 points per outing and pass defense efficiency (101.7). The Panthers finished the 2009 season ranked fifth in total defense and produced its second consecutive All-American in defensive back Anthony Beck along with having three All-SWAC members in Beck, Spears and Adingupu. In addition, Northern’s unit recorded two shutouts on the season and held four teams to 74 yards or less on the ground. In 2008, the Panther defense set the tone for the team’s 9-1 record as they concluded the year ranked second nationally in scoring defense, third in total defense, third in rush defense and seventh in pass efficiency defense. Prairie View also made history and recorded two shutouts for the first time since the 1966 season. As a result of Prairie View’s defensive prowess, Northern earned national acclaim and was selected as FootballScoop.com’s 2008 Division I-AA Coordinator of the Year. Individually, linebacker Zach East closed out his career as a two-time All-American while Beck and Spears earned First and Second Team All-SWAC Honors, respectively. During the 2007 season, Northern’s defense played a key role in helping the Panthers clinch their first winning season in four decades as they finished atop the SWAC in scoring and red zone defense along with a third-place total defense ranking. A total of three starters earned All-SWAC honors led by East earning All-

American and SWAC Defensive Player of the Year Honors. One year removed from finishing sixth in total defense among SWAC foes, Northern made his mark in his second year at Prairie View during the 2006 season after fielding the top-ranked defensive unit in the conference. Led by first team All-SWAC defen-sive end and future NFL free agent signee Jermaine McGhee, the Panthers set a school record for fewest yards rushing by an opponent after holding Edward Waters College to -35 yards. For his hard work on the gridiron after the season, Northern was one of 26 coaches from across the nation invited to attend the NCAA Expert Coaches Academy in Miami, Fla. Prior to his tenure at Prairie View, Northern spent seven seasons at Grambling State University in a variety of capacities. Initially brought to GSU to serve as running backs coach, Northern made a seamless transition to coaching defensive backs in 2001 as his unit ranked ninth nationally in interceptions en route to GSU’s second-straight SWAC Championship. During the 2002 sea-son, which marked Grambling’s third consecutive SWAC title, North-ern’s group improved on the interception mark as they ranked fourth nationally. In 2003, Northern assumed the role of interim defensive coordinator and immediately made his impact felt as the Tiger de-fense finished the year ranked third nationally against the run in Divi-sion I-AA. In the SWAC, the Tigers finished second in rushing, third in scoring defense, fourth in opponent third down percentage, fourth in turnover margin and fifth in sacks. Over the course of his coaching career, Northern has had several of his former players enter the professional football realm gaining experience with the NFL, World and Arena Football Leagues. In addition, several of his pupils have received an opportunity to coach on the collegiate level. A 1996 mathematics education graduate of Southern University, Northern began his coaching career on the high school level at Glen Oaks High School in Baton Rouge, La. where he coached girl’s basketball and baseball. He then moved on to More-house College in Atlanta, Ga. serving as the team’s running backs coach and special teams coordinator in 1997 under former head coach, Super Bowl MVP and current Grambling State head coach
Doug Williams. A student of the game of football, Northern was one of only 15 coaches from across the nation selected to participate in the prestigious NCAA Champions Forum during June of 2010. He has also completed a training camp internship with the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League in the summer of 2009. Northern, who also holds a master’s degree in Sports Administration from Grambling State, is the oldest of three siblings and is married to the former Paula Duell of Baton Rouge, La. To-gether, they have two children, Adam (6) and Brooke (2).
