The Department of Athletics fully embraces the University's mission

and enacts its policies, procedures, and initiatives with both the letter and

the spirit of that purpose.

The administration and staff of the department of athletics espouse a

student-oriented philosophy, which ranks academic achievement as the

number one priority for its student-athletes.

Towards this end, the Department is committed to providing a com-

prehensive intercollegiate athletics program for men and women, which

promotes the academic, physical, social, psychological, and total develop-

ment of the student-athlete.

Further, the Department is committed to working collaboratively with

other constituents of the University to ensure the production of competent,

contributing graduates who are capable of making the transition from uni-

versity life to the workplace and into today’s multicultural society.

Embodied within this mission statement is the concept of an ethical

athletics program which values success in competition, success in aca-

demic and personal development of student-athletes, and success in main-

taining full compliance with the rules of the University, the National

Collegiate Athletic Association, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, and

Title IX.

In addition, the department embraces the NCAA's Principles of

Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct. Coaches, student-athletes, cheerlead-

ers, boosters, faculty, staff and all who support intercollegiate athletics are

committed to the fundamental values of respect, fairness, civility, honesty,

and responsibility.

Strict adherence to these principles promotes character development.

2011 outlookLast season, for the first time in three

years, SC State did not win or share the

Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title

and for the first time since the 2007

campaign, the Bulldogs were on the

sideline for the Football Championship

Subdivision (FCS) playoffs. That feel-

ing was not an enjoyable one for head

coach Buddy Pough and his staff, nei-

ther did it sit well with the Bulldog play-

ers. All involved hope to regain the

spotlight enjoyed by Norfolk State for

2011.

During the off-season and fall,

Pough, his staff and players have had an

opportunity to make improvements that

will ensure that the Bulldogs are in the

hunt for the 2012 MEAC title and a re-

turn to the FCS playoffs, which will

have a 24 team field, beginning in 2013.

Despite relying on a lot of newcomers

in 2011 – the Bulldogs played 13 true

freshmen and a total of 21 first-year

players if you included eight redshirt

freshmen – Pough’s team came within a

couple of field goals of a fourth straight

MEAC title and an undefeated league

campaign. SC State’s league losses were

both by three points, 14-17 at Norfolk

State and 24-27 to Florida A&M.

In both losses, the Bulldogs had

trouble in short-yardage situations, fail-

ing to move the chains on 4th - and

short. That area should be improved in

as the 2012 SC State offense has been

strengthened up the middle through ad-

justments and recruiting additions, ac-

cording to Pough.

Overall, in 2012, SC State will have

more depth than it has enjoyed the last

two seasons. The talent level, especially

on offense, should be comparable to

2011, however, experience will be lack-

ing at some positions. And, the defense

will have a lot of new faces, including

youthful replacements in the secondary,

outside linebacker and the “Dog” and

“Bandit” positions. A look at the Bull-

dogs by position is below:

QuarterBaCk

Veterans Richard Cue (6-1, 180

r-Jr.) and Derrick Wiley (6-1, 190 r-Sr.),

along with Wiley’s younger brother

Tedarrius Wiley (6-1, 180 r-So.) will

battle for the starting duties at quarter-

back. Cue and Derrick Wiley have the

most experience of the three and should

be able to flourish in a Bulldog offense

that has been tweaked to take advantage

of their skills. Derrick Wiley, who was

the top backup to record-setting Mal-

colm Long for two seasons, started the

2011 campaign but sustained a season-

ending knee injury against Norfolk State

and Cue stepped in to guide the team in

the final six games.


2012 Bulldog outlook

Cue finished the year with 80 com-

pletions in 147 attempts for 900 yards

and seven touchdowns. The Florence

native, who was 5-1 in six starts, suf-

fered six interceptions. He emerged

from spring drills as the likely starter,

however, if Derrick Wiley bounces

back strong from his injury, he could

be right back in the mix. The Rocking-

ham, NC native was 58 of 115 attempts

with six touchdowns and three inter-

ceptions before being forced to the

sidelines. Tedarrius Wiley is talented,

had a solid spring showing and will

also get a look at the signal calling du-

ties. In addition, two quarterbacks who

had outstanding seasons as high school

seniors, are among the Bulldog recruits

and will be looked at.

wide reCeiver

The wide receiver group is one of

the most experienced areas for SC

State this season. All three starters –

Caleb Davis (5-11, 172 r-Jr.), Tyler

McDonald (6-3, 190 Jr.) and Thomas

Williams (6-0, 195 r-Sr.) -- from the

2011 squad return, and will be joined

by the league’s top receiver from 2010,

Lennel Elmore, who missed all of last

year due to academic deficiencies. Mc-

Donald, of Summerville, was the

team’s top pass catcher with 41 catches

for 573 yards and four touchdowns, in-

cluding a 69-yard TD reception against

Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS)

member Indiana. Davis was right be-

hind McDonald with 36 receptions for

467 yards and two scores. His 71-yard

scoring pass against Delaware State

was the longest of the season for the

Bulldogs, who also got 17 catches

from Williams, totaling 208 yards,

with two scoring receptions.

Also expected to contribute at

wide receiver are Dennis Rowe (6-4,

190 r-So.), Marcus Lloyd (6-3, 210 r-

Jr.), Santez Emory (6-2, 180 r-Jr.), con-

verted cornerback Austin Smith (6-1,

190 So.) and newcomer Taquan West

(6-4, 210 Fr.). Pough and his staff

would like to see the Bulldog receives

become more physical on the field.

tight end

Two-year starter Antwanne

Kerr has moved on but a pair of veter-

ans in Trent Barnes (6-3, 250 r-Jr.) and

Dwight Brannon (6-2, 230 r-Sr.) will

still be available to Coach Pough and

his staff. Barnes, of Dublin, Ga.

emerged from spring drills as the

starter but Brannon, a Jonesville native

who missed spring workouts due to a

shoulder injury, is expected to push

him. The two were used only sparingly

last season and had just one catch be-

tween them, a 13-yarder by Brannon.

In 2012, the Bulldogs hope to involve

the tight end in the offense more, that

is if they step up and demonstrate qual-

ity and efficiency at the position. Also

expected to see playing time at the po-

sition is Temmarick Hemmingway (6-

5, 220 r-Fr.), who was sharp in the

spring and may also lineup at fullback

at times.

running BaCk

SC State can find a great deal

of talent and depth at running back.

Four players who have started at one

time or another are on the 2012 roster.

Leading the pack is Asheton Jordan (6-

0, 205 r-Sr.), the most experienced and

last year’s top rusher. Jordan, a Sum-

merville native, ran for 774 yards and

five scores last season as the featured

back for the Bulldogs. He had a career-

high 226 yards in a 49-38 win over

North Carolina Central. Jalen Sim-

mons (5-8, 205 So.), an explosive and

hard-nosed runner of Charlotte, NC,

started two games as a true freshman

in 2011 and is expected to see a lot of

action. He finished his freshman cam-

paign with 304 yards and two touch-

downs in 70 tries.

In addition to Jordan and Sim-

mons, the Bulldogs can call on senior

Chris Merrill (5-9, 200 r-Sr.) of Simp-

sonville who had only 22 carries for 96

yards last season in 11 games, but gal-

loped for over 200 yards in his only

start in 2010, and Washington, DC na-

tive Charles Brown (5-11, 210 r-So.),

who started four games at fullback in

2011 and ranks as one of the top high

school runners from the DC area.

Brown saw action in 10 games, finish-

ing with 34 yards on 35 carries. The

Bulldog backfield may be further

crowded by the continued develop-

ment of fullback Brent Dubose (6-0,

230 r-So.) of Darlington and the addi-

tion of redshirt freshman Dondre

Lewis-Freeman (5-7, 190 r-Fr.) of

Charlotte and newcomer Dondre

Brown (6-1, 236 Fr.) of Varnville.

oFFenSive line

Despite the loss of All-MEAC per-

former and All-American Juavahr

Nathan, a four-year starter, the SC

State offensive line is solid as four

starters from last year’s squad are back.

rB-asheton Jordan


2012 Bulldog outlookAnchoring the line will be guard

Sam Hammond (6-3, 300 r-Sr.) of

Union, the oldest and most experi-

enced and a candidate for All-MEAC

accolades. Surrounding Hammond are

talented center Tristan Bellamy (6-3,

305 r-Jr.), a Johnston native and also a

candidate for post season honors, and

tackle Domanic Wilson (6-5, 280 r-

So.) of Lake City, a real surprise last

season. Bellamy and Wilson each

started all 11 contests in 2011.

The line is bolstered by veter-

ans Erskine Johnson (6-2, 285 r-Jr.) of

Conway, Gideon Scott (6-3, 310 Sr.) of

Atlanta, converted tight end Lambert

Givens (6-3, 280 r-Jr.) of Avon, CT,

and a pair of outstanding second-year

players – Jairon “Shaq” Harrison (6-3,

210 So.) of Charleston and Devin

Flowers (6-3, 295 So.) of Charlotte.

Harris started six games and Flowers

five at guard last year and held their

own. Also expected to provide quality

play on the line are redshirt freshman

Avery Grant (6-3, 295 r-Fr.) of Mullins

and Cephas “CJ” Wilson (6-4, 285 r-

So.), a redshirt sophomore of Colum-

bia.

The Bulldogs, who should

field a physical and cohesive unit in

2012, may also get some help on the

interior line from redshirts Raheim

Barr (6-3, 270 r-Fr.) of Timmonsville

and Charles Henderson (6-4, 270 r-Fr.)

and its 2012 freshman class.

deFenSive SeCondary

The secondary was hit hard by

the loss of two of the best defensive

players on the 2011 squad – safeties

Christian Thompson (a 4th-round pick

by the Baltimore Ravens) and Do-

minique Ellis (a free-agent selection by

the Kansas City Chiefs). There will be

some concerns about overall depth but

leadership should come from the likes

of Cortney Ingram (5-10, 190 Sr.) of

Milledgeville, Ga., who will man the

“Dog” position, and Darius Drum-

mond (5-11, 190 Jr.) of Asheville, NC

and Virginia Beach native Mason Har-

ris (5-10, 175 r-Jr.) and the corners. In-

gram started six games last season,

recording 47 total tackles, 35 unas-

sisted and six behind the line.

Drummond, who was also a big hit

as a punt returner, started nine of the

10 games he appeared in and was in on

44 total tackles, 31 solos and added

two interceptions and eight pass

breakups, a team high, while Mason,

who saw action in eight games,

recorded 23 tackles, 17 unassisted,

with two picks.

Joining that trio in the second-

ary will be veteran corners Yari King

(5-9, 180 r-Sr.), a one-time starter of

Irmo, SC, and New Zion native Josh

McFadden (6-9, 175 r-Sr.), a top

backup the last two seasons, Jeremy

White (5-10, 175 Jr.) of Columbia, the

top reserve at “Dog,” along with

youngsters Stephen Murhpy (6-1, 180

So.) of Kingsland, Ga., who broke into

the starting lineup as a true freshman

last season at cornerback but is the

leading candidate at strong safety in

2012, Dominique Mitchell (5-10, 180

So.) of Miramar, FL, and Davious

Chestnut (5-11, 170 r-Fr.) of Heming-

way and transfer Kimaro McFadden

(5-11, 200 Jr.) of Riverdale, Ga., who

will battle for starting duties at safety.

Also expected to contribute are Julius

Pendergrass (5-8, 170 So) of Chester,

who moves over from wide receiver,

and Georgia transfer Jakar Hamilton

(6-1, 200 Sr.) of Johnston,SC, redshirt

freshman Mariel Cooper (5-11, 175 r-

Fr.) of Sumter, and freshmen Marquise

Jones (6-1, 172 Fr.) of Columbia and

Shaquan Brock (6-0, 183 Fr.) of St.

lineBaCker

The Bulldog linebacker corps

sustained some deep losses in All-

MEAC performer Donovan Richard (a

free-agent signee by the Jacksonville

Jaguars) and steady LaTaris Douglas,

the starting “Bandit” in the 3-4 defen-

sive set. There is some concern at line-

backer as talented Joe Thomas (6-0,

230 r-Jr.) of Blackville is the lone re-

turning starter at the position. Thomas,

however, is one of the most outstand-

ing players on the Bulldog defense.

The All-MEAC candidate moves from

the WLB position to inside at the MLB

post. He was second on the team in

tackles last season with 100, including

a team-high 67 solos, with five tackles

for loss, two sacks and a team-leading

three interceptions. Thomas will be

joined by a bevy of players who played

pivotal roles as backups last season.

Alex Glover (6-1, 220 So.) of Char-

lotte, NC and Terrell Fitts of Augusta,

Ga., are expected to battle for the start-

ing duties at “Bandit,” while Justin

Hughes (6-1, 220 So.) of Virginia

Beach and Jerel Miller (5-11, 230 r-Jr.)

of Rock Hill emerged from spring

drills 1-2 on the depth chart in a battle

to take over at WLB.

2012 Bulldog outlookSC State will also look to its fresh-

man class for help. Expected to battle

for some playing time are Reggie

Owens (6-2, 220 Fr.) of Statesboro,

Ga., and Michael Wilson (5-11, 200

Fr.) of St. Stephen.

deFenSive line

This year’s defensive line will

be young but talented. Only two play-

ers – nose guard James “JD” Fulwood

(6-3, 285 r-Sr.) of Sumter and James

Island native and tackle Leon Smith

(6-0, 290 Sr.) -- with starting experi-

ence are back. There are, however, a

number of talented players who pro-

vided solid depth in backup roles in

2011. They include tackle and Colum-

bia native Curtis Hill (6-1, 295 r-So.),

ends Arnett James (6-3, 250 Gr.) of

Florence and Andrew Carter (6-1, 240

So.) of Hamlet, NC., along with veter-

ans Malcolm Reed (6-2, 270 r-Jr.) of

Fayetteville, Ga., and Montrey Pride

(6-4, 240 r-Jr.) of Tampa, FL.

The defensive line, which lost

two starters in Ronell Ferguson and Pat

Washington, both of who garnered

postseason honors, will get a big boost

by the return of Marquis Parks (6-3,

270 r-So.) of Lincolnton, Ga., who saw

action as a starter in 2010 but missed

all of the 2011 campaign. He should

start at the left end position. Also ex-

pected to contribute are talented red-

shirt freshmen James Robinson (6-4,

240 r-Fr.) of Goose Creek and Chris

Daniels (6-4, 240 r-Fr.) of Effingham,

and true freshman Javon Hargraves (6-

2, 295 Fr.) of Salisbury, NC.

SpeCialiStS

One of the Bulldogs’ biggest

losses from the 2011 squad was spe-

cialist Blake Erickson, who handled

both the placekicking and punting as a

four-year starter. A two-time All-

American, Erickson rewrote the SC

State record books as a kicker and will

be sorely missed. Penciled in as his re-

placement at placekicker coming out

of spring drills is Nick Belcher (5-

9,170 r-Jr.) of Sumter, the top backup

in 2010 who missed all of last season

due to academic deficiencies. Belcher

will be pushed by for placekicking and

kickoff duties by transfer Will Roper

(5-11, 195 r-So.) of Hendersonville,

NC, who redshirted last season.

Belcher also earned the starting duties

as punter and will be backed up by

first-year player David Gammon (6-0,

155 r-Fr.) of Central.

Nathan Smith (5-11, 210 r-Jr.), who

missed the 2011 campaign due to in-

jury, is back for the 2012 season and

will share the long snapper duties with

David Davis (6-2, 180 Fr.) of Colum-

bia who handled those chores last year.

Smith will also be the holder on field

goals.

In the return department, SC State

will look to Drummond and Murphy

on punts and Simmons and Elmore on

kickoffs. All are very talented and can

go the distance anytime. Drummond

had 20 punt returns for an average of

13.6 yards and a 68 yarder for a score

last year. Simmons averaged 21.0

yards on kickoff returns in 2011.

Along with the last three consecutive titles (2008-10), the 2004 season canbe considered another one of the team’sbest under Pough, as the Bulldogs pro-duced the first-of-two consecutive 9-2 sea-sons. SC State was 6-2 in MEAC play thatseason, tying the Hampton Pirates for the2004 championship.

In 2005, Pough’s team duplicated the9-2 record of the previous year and im-proved to 7-1 in the MEAC, with the loneleague loss coming at the hands of eventualchampion and nationally-ranked Hampton.

Following a couple of 7-4 recordsin 2006 and 2007, the Bulldogs had 10 winseasons in each of the next two campaigns-- 2008 (10-3) and 2009 (10-2). SC Statewas also a perfect 8-0 in the MEAC both

years.Prior to taking the reins at South Car-

olina State, Pough spent five seasons as anassistant at the University of South Car-olina (USC), the last three as a runningbacks coach under Lou Holtz. During hisstint at USC, he helped build the Game-cocks into one of the top offensive teamsin the SEC. USC made back-to-back ap-pearances in the Outback Bowl in 2000 and2001.

Before going to USC, Pough was on ofthe top high school coaches in the PalmettoState, leading Fairfield-Central to a perfect15-0 record in 1996 and claiming the ClassAAA state title. He earned South CarolinaHigh School League (SCHSL) Coach-of-the-Year honors for his efforts, the first ofthree such honors.

SC STATE LEGENDS


Oliver Cromwell Dawson had a long andunparalleled career as a coach, athletic di-rector, professor and administrator at SouthCarolina State College (now South Car-olina State University) during a forty-oneyear tenure (1935-76) at the institution.

Dawson, affectionately called "the Manfor all Seasons," coached five major sportsat South Carolina State, beginning in 1935until he retired in 1976.

The Thomaston, Georgia native, whogrew a up in Cleveland, Ohio, served ashead football coach from 1940 to 1950, andalso coached basketball, tennis, track andfield, and golf. He won championships ineach of the sports except track and field.

Dawson attended John Carroll Univer-sity in Cleveland (1930-34), before earninghis bachelor’s at South Carolina State in1936.

He received his master’s from New YorkUniversity in 1947 and did further study atDenver University and West Virginia Uni-versity.

During his head football coaching tenure,which was interrupted by World War II(1943-45), Dawson compiled only a mod-est record of 30-29-7, however, his teamsfinished in the upper division of the South-ern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference(SIAC) every year except one, and the

worksheet included an undefeated 7-0-1regular season mark in 1947 when the Bull-dogs played for the mythical Black CollegeNational Championship in Washington, DCagainst Shaw University.

Prior to becoming head coach at SCSU,he served five seasons as backfield coach.

He discovered and coached the greatMarion Motley, who was an outstandingfullback for the Bulldogs before transfer-ring to Nevada and going on to greatnesswith the original Cleveland Browns in theNational Football League.

Motley is one of three former Bulldogscurrently enshrined in the NFL Hall ofFame in Canton, Ohio. David "Deacon"Jones, an outstanding defensive lineman atSouth Carolina State in the 50s, who wenton to stardom with the Los Angeles Rams,and Harry Carson, a Bulldog All-Americanin the mid-70s who had an illustrious careerwith the New York Giants, are also in theprestigious Hall. Carson was inducted lastseason (2006).

South Carolina State uniVerSity, a senior comprehen-sive teaching institution, is committed to providing affordable and ac-cessible quality undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Thispublic university, with a student population between 4,000 and 5,000,is located in Orangeburg, an area that has a traditional rural, agricul-tural economy which has expanded to include a business and indus-trial focus that is national and international in scope. South CarolinaState University’s 1890 land grant legacy of service to the citizenry ofthe state is ensured through its collaborative efforts with local, rural,and statewide businesses, public education, colleges and industry. Thissymbiotic relationship provides a catalyst that spurs a reciprocal eco-nomic and social growth for the University, state, nation and the international community at large.

South Carolina State uniVerSity, through instruction, research and service activities, prepares highly skilled,competent, economically and socially aware graduates to meet life’s challenges and demands that enable them to work andlive productively in a dynamic, global society. Since 1896, South Carolina State uniVerSity has maintained alegacy of excellence in education. The University has been home to generations of scholars and leaders in business, militaryservice, government, athletics, education, medicine, science, engineering technology and more.

THE MISSION OF SC STATE UNIVERSITY A BRIEF HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITYFounded in 1896 as the state’s sole public college for black youth, South Carolina State uniVerSity has playeda key role in the education of African-Americans in the state and nation. As a land-grant institution, it struggled to provideagricultural and mechanical training to generations of black youngsters.

Through its extension program, it sent farm and home demonstration agents into rural counties to provide knowledge and in-formation to impoverished black farm families.

The University has educated scores of teachers for the public schools. It provided education in sciences, literature, and his-tory. The support of the Rosenwald Fund and the General Education Board helped the institution survive the Depression.

After World War II, the state legislature created a graduate program and a law school at South Carolina State uni-

VerSity to prevent black students from enrolling in the University of South Carolina’s graduate and legal education pro-grams. The legislature also dramatically increased funding at the college in an effort to make “separate but equal” a reality inhigher education in South Carolina. During the 1950s and 1960s hundreds of STATE students participated in local civil rightsdemonstrations and were arrested. In 1968 three young men were slain and 27 wounded on the campus by state highway pa-trolmen in the Orangeburg Massacre.

Since 1966, STATE has been open to non-African American students and faculty, but it has largely retained its mission andcharacter as an historically black institution. In 1971, the agricultural program was terminated and the college farm was trans-formed into a community recreation center, consisting of a golf course and soccer, softball and baseball fields. Today there arenearly 5000 students majoring in a wide range of programs that include agribusiness, accounting, art, English, and drama aswell as fashion merchandising, physics, psychology, and political science.
