2013 outlook


South carolina State univerSity

2013 Bulldog footBall media guide

2013 Bulldog outlook South Carolina State will be looking for a bounce-back year in 2013 as the Bulldogs and Coach Buddy Pough are coming off a 5-6 year (4-4 in the MEAC), the first losing campaign for the school in 12 seasons and the first of Pough’s 11-year tenure. In addition to struggling with its running game, SC State had to survive key injuries on both sides of the football. Linebacker Joe Thomas, the team’s top defensive player, missed the last six games, while top rusher Jalen “Scoot” Simmons was slowed by injuries. He had off-season surgery and will most likely miss the 2013 campaign. But Pough and his staff expect things to turnaround this year. The optimism is due in part to the maturity of the offensive line, which will also be bolstered by the addition of a talented redshirt freshman and the return of veteran quarterback Richard Cue, who should rebound from an unspectacular season. Also, former Offensive Line Coach and Offensive Coordinator Joe Blackwell is back for a second tenure on the sidelines. The Bulldogs enjoyed some of their best years on offense with Blackwell calling plays. And with the return of Thomas at linebacker and Marquis Parks at defensive line following injuries that forced them to the sideline last season, the defense should be improved as well. QuarterBaCk Five quarterbacks may be on the Bulldog roster this fall, however, senior Richard Cue (6-1, 201) and redshirt junior Tedarrius Wiley (6-2, 208) will likely battle for the starting duties. They enter fall drills one-two on the

South Carolina State

depth chart. Cue completed 144 of 290 attempts – with 14 interceptions – for 1819 yards and 11 touchdowns last year, while also rushing for 322 yards, second most on the team, and two scores. Wiley, who was bothered by injuries, did not play in any of the team’s 11 contests, but got some valuable experience running

Sr.-Richard Cue the scout team. Redshirt freshman Adrian Kollock, Jr. (6-2, 207) along with Joey Copeland (6-1, 210), also a redshirt freshman, and newcomer Kylen Binn will also compete at position. running BaCk The Bulldog rushing attack was not very productive last season, contributing to a sub-par performance on offense. There will still be question marks this season as 2012 top runner Jalen “Scoot” Simmons (5-8, 210), who gained 521 yards and scored four touch-

6

downs in 131 attempts, had off-season surgery and will most likely miss the entire campaign, while Asheton Jordan, the top rusher two years ago, has exhausted his eligibility. Without that duo, it is expected that Julius Pendergrass (5-9, 175), who was third on the team in rushing last season with 273 yards and three scores in 57 attempts, will be the featured back. SC State will also look for some strong production from redshirt junior Charles Brown (5-11, 221), who was used only sparingly last season after battling injuries early; redshirt freshman Dondre Brown (6-1, 236), a promising runner who was injured in the team’s opening game and missed the rest of the season; and Dondre Lewis-Freeman (5-8, 197), who saw action in five games. The running game should get a big lift from Kentucky transfer Justin Taylor (5-10, 215), a very talented back who was once recruited by 2012 National Champion Alabama. wide reCeiver The wide receiver corps will be one of the most experienced groups on the 2013 Bulldog squad. Four of the team’s top pass catchers are back. Leading the way will be senior Tyler McDonald (6-3, 200), who led the team in receiving yards with 527 and four touchdowns on 34 catches, and redshirt senior Caleb Davis (5-11, 195) who was the top receiver with 35 catches for 311 yards and two scores. McDonald was named to the 2013 CFPA (College Football Performance Awards) Wide Receiver Watch List.

2013 Bulldog outlook from the offensive line to provide depth at the position, is also back. Help from newcomers may also be expected. At fullback, the Bulldogs should get a big boost from the return of Devin Wherry (6-0, 235), who missed all of last season after a very productive 2011 campaign.

Sr.-Tyler McDonald Also expected to contribute to a group that should be more physical than the 2012 group are redshirt senior Marcus Lloyd (6-3, 210) and redshirt junior Dennis Rowe (6-4, 210), both reserves last year; along with redshirt sophomore Austin Smith (6-2, 200), a big target who missed all of last season, redshirt sophomore Jordan Freeman (6-2, 190), used mostly played on special teams, and sophomore Taquan West (6-4, 210), who is coming off a terrific spring. The Bulldogs will also look for help from Tennessee transfer Antonio Jones (6-4, 21) and some talented newcomers.

oFFenSive line Overall, the offensive line will be improved over last season, when the group’s struggles led to an ineffective running game. Despite the loss of starters Sam Hammond at guard and Gideon Scott at tackle, the 2013 line will have some talented personnel and more experience, especially inside where center Tristan Bellamy (6-3, 300), a redshirt senior, will anchor. Bellamy was one of two offensive linemen to start every game.

tight end/FullBaCk Redshirt freshman Temarrick Hemingway (6-5, 230) is the top returner at tight end. He saw action in eight contests, with two starts, snaring 11 passes for 164 yards and one touchdown. Top reserve Lambert Givens (63, 270), who was moved to tight end South Carolina State

include redshirt junior tackle Dominic Wilson, who started all 11 games at left tackle; junior guard Devin Flowers (63, 290), who started six of the nine games he played in before sustaining an injury that caused him to miss the team’s last two contests; guard Jairon Harrison (6-3, 300), who started eighth of the nine contests he saw action in; redshirt sophomore Avery Grant (6-5, 290), the backup center last season who can also play guard; and Cephas “CJ” Wilson (6-4, 290), a redshirt junior, who saw limited action last year. Added depth, including the addition of 2012 outstanding recruit Javoris Leamon (6-7, 310), will be provided by redshirts and newcomers, among them redshirt sophomores Raheim Barr (6-5, 290) and Charles Henderson (6-4, 275), as well as redshirt freshmen Eric Dickerson (6-3, 280), Clyde Johnson (6-3, 290) and Jake Scott (6-2, 270). deFenSive SeCondary The secondary will be without the services of safety Jakar Hamilton, a 2013 Dallas Cowboy free agent signee, and cornerbacks Yari King and Josh McFadden. The secondary returns a great deal of experience in redshirt senior safety Kimario McFadden (5-11, 205), a starter in all 11 games; redshirt junior cornerback Steven Murphy (6-1, 1850, who started 10 of 11 contests; senior cornerback Darius Drummond (5-11, 200), who started all eight games he played in; redshirt senior Mason Harris (5-10, 170) a starter in eight of 11 contests; top reserve cornerback Mariel Cooper (5-11, 185) a redshirt sophomore who saw action in all 11 games; junior safety Dominique Mitchell (5-10, 195), Bulldog FootBall

2013 Bulldog footBall media guide

2013 Bulldog outlook who started three of 11 contests; senior safety Jeremy White (5-10, 180), a top reserve and starter in five of 11 games; and redshirt freshmen Marquise Jones (5-11, 185), Tyler Smith (6-1, 200) and Phillip Henry (6-1, 175). A talented freshman class is also expected to contribute in the secondary. lineBaCker The linebacker unit will miss the leadership of the departed Cortney Ingram, but should be deeper and stronger than in 2012. Senior Joe Thomas (6-1, 220), who was having a great year as the starter in the middle before an injury forced him to miss the team’s final contests. The All-Conference candidate has bounced back from the injury and has been penciled in as the starter at middle linebacker. Expected to start at the weak side post is the talented junior Justin Hughes (6-1, 225), who was named to the 2013 CFPA (College Football Performance Awards) Watch List. The outside positions will be spearheaded by junior Alexander Glover (6-1, 225), a very versatile player who was also used at defensive end in certain schemes, and sophomore Reggie Owens (6-2, 225), who was a top backup to Thomas last year. Providing depth inside will be redshirt sophomore Tevin Richard (511, 205),Redshirt sophomore reserve Brandon Robinson (6-0, 230) and Redshirt Justin Mullgrav (5-10, 220) and redshirt freshmen Shaquan Brock (6-1, 200) and Michael Wilson (6-1, 230).

South Carolina State

SC State can also look to a talented freshman group, which includes Lake View High standout Darius Leonard (6-3, 210). deFenSive line The defensive line is expected to be physical and active. Anchoring the group will be sophomore Javon Hargrave (6-2, 295), a surprise starter as a freshman last season, and juniors Marquis Parks (6-3, 285), who was off to a great start before sustaining an injury in the team’s second contest that sidelined him the rest of the way, Andrew Carter (6-2, 250), a starter in all 10 games he appeared in, and Curtis Hill (6-2, 300), who started all 11 games.

The emergence of redshirt sophomore James Robinson (6-4, 250), who played a key role as a backup last year, should be a big boost to the line, as will the addition of freshmen Nikeem Ladson (6-2, 290), an outstanding freshman recruit. Overall, the line will be an experienced group with loads of talent and passion for the game. The defensive line should be one of the most productive groups on the 2013 squad. kiCking gaMe Senior Nicholas Belcher (5-9, 178) returns as the starting placekicker and punter and is expected to handle those duties once more, although he will be challenged in the place-kicking department by redshirt junior William Roper (5-10, 186), who was used on kickoffs last year. Long snapper David Davis has played his final season, so those duties will fall to center Tristan Bellamy, last year’s backup. Running back Julius Pendergrass is the top kick off returner, while Darius Drummond and Steven Murphy will handle the punt return duties.

Soph.- Javon Hargrave Also expected to contribute are seniors Malcolm Reed (6-1, 265), who missed all of last season due to injury.

oliver “Buddy” pough head football coach -12th Season Oliver “Buddy” Pough is in his 12th season as head football coach at South Carolina State, his alma mater. Since succeeding head coach emeritus Willie Jeffries as Bulldog head coach in 2002, Pough has established SC State football as one of the top programs in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). During an 11-year tenure at the school where he earned a bachelor’s and a master’s, as well as All-MEAC honors as an offensive lineman, Pough has compiled an overall record of 88-39 and a 6819 MEAC worksheet. His teams have also captured two MEAC titles (2008 & 2009) outright, shared two others (2004, 2010), and made three trips to the prestigious FCS playoffs (2008, 2009 and 2010). His overall and conference records at SC State trail only Jeffries. SC State was 5-6 overall and 4-4 in the MEAC in 2012. In 2011, the Bulldogs compiled a 7-4 overall worksheet and were 6-2 in the MEAC. During the 2010 season, Pough’s team finished 9-3 and was 7-1 in the MEAC to tie for the championship after winning the title outright in both 2009 and 2008. His squad also earned its third straight berth to the FCS playoffs and finished the 2010 campaign ranked high in all of the HBCU and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) polls. In 2009, SC State was named National Black Champion by the Sheridan Broadcasting Network, the 100 PerSouth Carolina State

cent Wrong Club of Atlanta, the Washington (DC) Pigskin Club and the Boxto-Row /BASN. In addition, the Bulldogs finished number seven in all three major FCS polls – The Sports Network, the FCS Coaches Poll and Any Given Saturday. Pough’s 2009 squad finished 103 overall, captured its second consecutive MEAC crown with an unblemished 8-0 record and made back-to-back appearances in the FCS playoffs. The Orangeburg native reaped Coach of the Year honors in the MEAC -- his second in as many seasons – and also earned the accolade from The (Columbia, SC) State newspaper, the Washington Pigskin Club, the 100 Percent Wrong Club of Atlanta and the Orangeburg Touchdown Club. His 2008 squad was just as impressive, finishing 10-2 and winning the 44

MEAC title with an 8-0 mark, the team’s first outright title in 14 seasons, and returning to the FCS playoffs for the first time since the 1982 campaign. During his nine-year tenure at the school where he earned a bachelor’s and a master’s as well as All-MEAC honors as an offensive lineman, Pough has compiled an enviable 76-29 overall record and a 58-13 MEAC worksheet. His teams have also captured two MEAC titles (2008 & 2009) outright and shared two others (2004, 2010). Pough became the 14th head football coach at South Carolina State in the fall of 2002, taking over the reins from the legendary Willie Jeffries, who retired after 19 years at the helm. He posted a 7-5 overall record and a 4-4 mark in the MEAC in his inaugural season in 2002 and has had a winning campaign in each of his eight seasons. In 2003, he guided the Bulldogs to an 8-4 overall record and a 6-2 mark in MEAC play, losing only to Hampton and Bethune- Cookman. Along with the last three campaigns (2008-10), the 2004 season can be considered another one of the team’s best under Pough, as the Bulldogs produced the first-of-two consecutive 9-2 seasons. SC State was 6-2 in MEAC play that season, tying the Hampton Pirates for the 2004 championship. In 2005, Pough’s team duplicated the 9-2 record of the previous year and improved to 7-1 in the MEAC, with the lone league loss coming at the hands of eventual champion and nationally-ranked Hampton.

david Blanchard assistant head Coach/defensive line

David Blanchard is in his 18th season as a member of the South Carolina State coaching staff. Elevated to assistant head coach in 2007, Blanchard coaches the Bulldog defensive line, an assignment he has held for the last ten seasons. He served as recruiting coordinator under Coach Buddy Pough for seven seasons (2002-08) and was offensive line coach under retired Bulldog head coach Willie Jeffries. Blanchard joined the SC State staff as a full-time coach in 1995, following one

year as a student assistant. He has continued to build upon the team’s history of success in developing outstanding defensive linemen. During his tenure, he has aided in the development of some of the best linemen to ever wear the Garnet & Blue, among them former National Football League offensive linemen Lewis Kelly, Raleigh Roundtree, Dawani Fladger and tight end Arthur Love who earned a Super Bowl ring with the New England Patriots, as well as defensive lineman Ken Jones, who played in the 2007 Arena Bowl Championship with the Columbus Destroyers. He also coached former Bulldog standout and All-MEAC performer Ronell Ferguson. In 2002, Blanchard made the switch from offensive line coach to defensive line. Since that time, he has helped Coach Pough win or share four MEAC titles. In addi-

South Carolina State

46

tion, he has gone on to develop some of the best defensive lines in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, producing at least one All-MEAC defensive lineman in each of the last seven seasons. He coached All-MEAC performers such as Jason Ayers, Patrick Washington, Cedric Lloyd and Keyon Brooks. In 2005, Eric Turner was a first-team selection, while Travis Kinloch earned his second All-MEAC nod under Blanchard’s tutelage. However, the best example of Blanchard’s leadership came in former Bulldog nose tackle Marcus Darby, who came to SCSU with no prep experience, but earned All-MEAC honors in the 2004 season. A standout offensive lineman for the Bulldogs from 1990-94, Blanchard earned All-MEAC honors as a center in 1992 and 1993, and was teammate of former AllMEAC and All-Pro Offen-

sive lineman Orlando “Zeus” Brown. He also anchored the SCSU offensive line that propelled the Bulldogs to the 1993 Heritage Bowl against Southern. Blanchard earned a Bachelor of Science from South Carolina State in 1994. In 1999, he completed an internship with the Miami Dolphins under then-head coach Jimmy Johnson. Blanchard is a 1989 graduate of Thomson High School in Thomson, Georgia where he was a letter winner in both football and basketball. He earned All-Region honors twice (1987-89) and All-State accolades in 1989. He and his wife, the former Trevenia Bracey of Camden, are the proud parents of two children -- daughter Morgan (12), and son David Jr. (6).

Joel taylor, defensive Backs

Joel Taylor begins his fourth season as the defensive backs coach at South Carolina State, where he previously played defensive back and spent four years on the coaching staff as an assistant. Taylor returned to Orangeburg and his alma mater in 2010 following a one-year stint as outside linebacker coach at Lenoir Rhyne in Hickory, NC. Taylor has helped guide the Bulldog defense to be one of the nation's best.

The 2012 secondary was hit hard by injury, but the Bulldogs were still able to finish 18th in the nation in defensive pass efficiency. Safety Jakar Hamilton signed a free agent deal with the Dallas Cowboys. That makes the fifth defensive back in four years to make an NFL roster. The previous were Phillip Adams (drafted 7th round by 49ers), Rafael Bush (Saints), Christian Thompson (drafted in the 4th round by the Baltimore Ravens) and Dominique Ellis (Buffalo Bills). In 2011, the secondary finished #10 in the nation in defensive pass efficiency led by Christian Thompson and Dominique Ellis, both finishing with All-MEAC honors. Thomp-

son and Ellis became the third and fourth players to make an NFL roster under Taylor. Taylor helped to develop a secondary hit hard by the loss of three starters from the 2009 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and National Black Championship team. He took a unit of four new starters in the secondary in 2010 and finished with the #1 Pass Defense and #2 Pass Efficiency in the nation. Additionally, the Bulldog defense finished #1 in the nation in total defense and 17th interceptions spearheaded by All MEAC players Dominique Ellis and Semaj Moody. Prior to returning to SC State, Taylor served four years (200408) on the SC State coaching staff, the first two as an offensive

assistant with the offensive line and the final two seasons as a defensive secondary assistant. He had a very productive career as a defensive back at SC State, reaping several honors during his four year (2001-04) career. He lettered all four seasons and was team captain and defensive MVP in 2004. He was also a starter in the secondary on the 2003 Bulldog squad which finished number one nationally in pass defense efficiency. A Brooklyn, NY native, Taylor grew up in Irmo, SC. He earned a bachelor’s in computer science at SC State in 2004 and a master’s in rehabilitation counseling in 2008.

Chris Cook, defensive assistant Chris Cook is in his third season as an SC State assistant coach and will work with the Bulldog secondary. A Forest City, NC native, Cook joined Coach Buddy Pough’s staff this year after spending a year (2010) as an assistant at Chowan University in Murfreesboro, NC. Prior to his one-year stint at Chowan, Cook served short tenures as an assistant coach at North Carolina Tech Prep School

South Carolina State

in Charlotte, NC (2009) and Pikeville (Ky.) College (2008). He was also a student assistant coach at Gardner-Webb (NC) University (2002-07), where he helped lead GWU to two Big South Conference Championships.

aBout oliver C. dawSon Oliver Cromwell Dawson had a long and unparalleled career as a coach, athletic director, professor and administrator at South Carolina State College (now South Carolina State University) during a forty-one year tenure (1935-76) at the institution. Dawson, affectionately called "the Man for all Seasons," coached five major sports at South Carolina State, beginning in 1935 until he retired in 1976. The Thomaston, Georgia native, who grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, served as head football coach from 1940 to 1950, and also coached basketball, tennis, track and field, and golf. He won championships in each of the sports except track and field. Dawson attended John Carroll University in Cleveland (1930-34), before earning his bachelor’s at South Carolina State in 1936.

South Carolina State

He received his master’s from New York University in 1947 and did further study at Denver University and West Virginia University. During his head football coaching tenure, which was interrupted by World War II (1943-45), Dawson compiled only a modest record of 3029-7, however, his teams finished in the upper division of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) every year except one, and the worksheet included an undefeated 7-0-1 regular season mark in 1947 when the Bulldogs played for the mythical Black College National Championship in Washington, DC against Shaw University. Prior to becoming head coach at SCSU, he served five seasons as backfield coach. He discovered and coached the great Marion Motley, who was an outstanding fullback for the Bulldogs before transferring to Nevada

and going on to greatness with the original Cleveland Browns in the National Football League. Motley is one of three former Bulldogs currently enshrined in the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. David "Deacon" Jones, an outstanding defensive lineman at South Carolina State in the 50s, who went on to stardom with the Los Angeles Rams, and Harry Carson, a Bulldog All-American in the mid-70s who had an illustrious career with the New York Giants, are also in the prestigious Hall. Carson was inducted last season (2006).

donnie Shell defensive Back 1970-73

harry CarSon, defensive end 1972-75

Shell, a Whitmire, South Carolina native, was a standout defensive back at South Carolina State College (now University) during his collegiate career from 1970-73. As a senior, he was the dominant player at the position in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, earning All-MEAC honors. He was also named to the Associated Press and Pittsburgh Courier All-America teams. At the conclusion of his college career, Shell signed as a free agent

with the Pittsburgh Steelers (1974) of the National Football League. During an illustrious career with the Steelers, which spanned 11 seasons, he started every year, earned AllPro five times and helped Pittsburgh to four Super Bowl Championships. He was selected to the Steelers’ AllTime Team and the NFL Silver Anniversary Super Bowl Team. He played in more than 200 games as a Steeler and made 51 interceptions -

making him the only strong safety in NFL history to record 50 or more interceptions. He has also been voted to the NCAA Division II Team of the Quarter Century and the Sheridan Broadcasting Network (SBN) Black College 100-Year Anniversary squad. Shell was inducted to the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame at South Bend, Indiana in 1998.

One of the greatest defensive players in the history of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, Harry Carson led South Carolina State to back-to-back conference championships. A First Team All-America selection in 1975, Carson set school and conference records with 17 sacks and 112 tackles. He anchored the 1975 team that recorded six shutouts and set an NCAA record for fewest points (29)

allowed in a 10-game season. A two-time all-conference choice, Carson became the first player in MEAC history to win back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year honors, 1974 and 1975. Carson was named to the Sheridan Broadcasting Network 100-year Black College All-American Team and the Division II Team of the Century. He is enshrined in six Halls of Fame-SC State, Division II,

SC State Athletic, College Football, MEAC and Pro Football. He played 13 years with the New York Giants and was all-pro 10 times. After his playing days he became a board member of the New York State Special Olympics and the New York State United Way.

univerSity MiSSion South Carolina State univerSity, a senior comprehensive teaching institution, is committed to providing affordable and accessible quality undergraduate and graduate degree programs. This public university, with a student population between 4,000 and 5,000, is located in Orangeburg, an area that has a traditional rural, agricultural economy which has expanded to include a business and industrial focus that is national and international in scope. South Carolina State University’s 1890 land grant legacy of service to the citizenry of the state is ensured through its collaborative efforts with local, rural, and statewide businesses, public education, colleges and industry. This symbiotic relationship provides a catalyst that spurs a reciprocal economic 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 and live productively in a dynamic, global society. Since 1896, South Carolina State univerSity has maintained a legacy of excellence in education. The University has been home to generations of scholars and leaders in business, military service, government, athletics, education, medicine, science, engineering technology and more.

played a key role in the education of African-Americans in the state and nation. As a land-grant institution, it struggled to provide agricultural 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 information to impoverished black farm families. The University has educated scores of teachers for the public schools. It provided education in sciences, literature, and history. 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 univerSity to prevent black students from enrolling in the University of South Carolina’s graduate and legal education programs. The

legislature also dramatically increased funding at the college in an effort to make “separate but equal” a reality in higher education in South Carolina. During the 1950s and 1960s hundreds of STATE students participated in local civil rights demonstrations and were arrested. In 1968 three young men were slain and 27 wounded on the campus by state highway patrolmen in the Orangeburg Massacre. Since 1966, STATE has been open to nonAfrican American students and faculty, but it has largely retained its mission and character as an historically black institution. In 1971, the agricultural program was terminated and the college farm was transformed into a community recreation center, consisting of a golf course and soccer, softball and baseball fields. Today there are nearly 5000 students majoring in a wide range of programs that include agribusiness, accounting, art, English, and drama as well as fashion merchandising, physics, psychology, and political science.
