HEAD COACH FRANKIE DEBUSK Frankie DeBusk is entering his 14th season as head football coach at Tusculum College. Since taking over the TC football program, DeBusk has built the Pioneers into yearly contenders in NCAA Division II, resul�ng in winning seasons in nine of the last 11 years. He is also serving the dual role as athle�c director at Tusculum, a posi�on he assumed in August 2007. Over the past 11 seasons, TC has posted a 70-49 mark including a 9-4 tally sheet in 2008, while claiming the program’s second South Atlan�c Conference Championship and earning the school’s first berth to the NCAA II Football Playoffs. His 77 victories on the Pioneer sidelines makes DeBusk the winningest gridrion coach in Tusculum history. His victory tally is the third most in SAC history, while his 39 league wins are the sixth most in the conference record book. In 2008, DeBusk’s team achieved success both on and off the field. The nine wins �ed a school single-season record, including victories in four of its last five games. The Pioneers won its last three regular season games, including a thrilling 45-44 win over 15th-ranked Carson-Newman to claim a share of the SAC �tle. DeBusk mentored five All-Americans on the 2008 squad, including quarterback Corey Russell. Russell established 15 school, conference and NCAA II records, while finishing as a na�onal finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, which recognizes the Division II College Football Player of the Year. Russell was named the SAC and Region Offensive Player of the Year. He was also named Male Athlete of the Year by both Tusculum and the South Atlan�c Conference. For his efforts, DeBusk was named the SAC Coach of the Year for the first �me in his career. He led Tusculum to the second round of the NCAA Playoffs as the Pioneers ended the season ranked No. 16 in the American Football Coaches Associa�on (AFCA) poll. He was later named the AFCA Super Region 2 Coach of the Year. The 2008 club also boasted Academic All-America® �ght end Jarrell NeSmith. NeSmith was named the SAC Scholar Athlete, but he would later haul in the biggest award the league has to offer as he was named the 2008-09 recipient of the SAC Presidents Award. In his career, NeSmith earned the SAC Scholar Athlete Award three �mes (2007, 2008, 2009), a first by any league football player. He also repeated as SAC President’s Award winner in 2009-2010. On only three occasions has a football player earned the SAC Presidents Award in the 22-year history of the honor (all three were from Tusculum). NeSmith earned Academic All-America® First Team honors in 2009, was a Na�onal Football Founda�on Scholar Athlete and was one of 16 na�onal finalists for the NFF William J. Campbell Trophy, which was won by Florida’s Tim Tebow. In 2010, DeBusk’s squad posted the top passing a�ack in the country led by AllAmerican quarterback and Harlon Hill Trophy na�onal finalist Bo Cordell. Cordell was the NCAA Na�onal Sta�s�cal Champion in several categories, while garnering SAC Offensive Player of the Year honors, as well as the Tennessee College Football Player of the Year by the Tennessee Sports Writers Associa�on (TSWA). From 2000-05, the Pioneers recorded five consecu�ve winning seasons, a first in school history. In 2003, Tusculum posted a 9-2 record, including 6-1 in league play to earn the school it’s first SAC Football crown. The 2003 team finished listed in the top 50 na�onally in 10 sta�s�cal categories and finished the year ranked 19th in NCAA II. That squad also featured five All-Americans, including Harlon Hill Trophy na�onal finalist and Pi�sburgh Steelers’ second round dra� pick Ricardo Colclough. In 2001, the Pioneers posted an 8-2 record as that squad �ed for second place 2008 South Atlan�c Conference Coach of the Year in the conference and finished ranked 21st in the na�on. That team also went undefeated at home (6-0) for the first �me in the modern era of football at Tusculum. The .800 winning percentage made TC the second winningest gridiron squad of the 19 four-year ins�tu�ons that sponsor football in the state of Tennessee in 2001. Only the University of Tennessee (11-2/.846) had a be�er season. Solid special teams play has been a trademark of DeBusk’s teams as the Pioneers are consistently ranked amongst the na�on’s leaders in pun�ng, kicking and returns. In 2005, Octavius Love was the NCAA II Na�onal Sta�s�cal Champion for punt return average (20.2 ypr). For his efforts, Love garnered All-American recogni�on. The 2001 team boasted two of the best special team players in the land in All-American return specialist Donald Amaker and All-American kicker Paul Czerniak. Czerniak led the na�on in field goals, while Amaker was listed na�onally in punt and kickoff returns. Colclough also garnered All-American considera�on in 2003 as one of the top return specialists in the land. In 2008, punter John Gregory added his name to this pres�gious list earning AllAmerica recogni�on. Gregory finished third in the na�on in 2008, averaging 43.5 yards per punt, which was a new school single-season record. DeBusk’s 2000 club posted the fi�h-best win-improvement in the country by going from 2-9 in 1999 to 7-4 a year later. In 1998, the energe�c DeBusk took over a program that won only three games in its two previous seasons, becoming the third gridiron skipper since the program’s reinstatement in 1991. In 13 seasons, his teams have rewri�en the Tusculum record book by equaling or establishing over 100 team and individual marks. Since joining the South Atlan�c Conference in 1999, 70 players have earned All-Conference recogni�on, including 30 All-Region honorees and 20 All-Americans. Since his arrival at Tusculum, 25 players have con�nued their playing career at the professional ranks, including three in the Na�onal Football League. Colclough was the 38th overall pick by the Steelers, becoming the highest dra�ed player in South Atlan�c Conference history. Colclough became the third player in the history of the SAC to earn a Super Bowl ring as the Steelers defeated the Sea�le Seahawks in Super Bowl XL. Kevin Wolco�, a 2003 All-American receiver, who led the na�on in recep�ons, signed as a free agent with the Tennessee Titans. Two-�me All-American tackle Alan Dunn, The DeBusk Family the 2003 recipient of the Jim Langer Award, which is presented annually to Jennifer, Ty and Frankie the NCAA II Offensive Lineman of the Year, signed a free agent contract with

NISWONGER SPORTS COMPLEX/PIONEER FIELD Tusculum College is very fortunate to have some of the finest intercollegiate athle�c facili�es in the na�on and the Niswonger Sports Complex and Pioneer Field are no excep�on. The home of Tusculum Football since the reinstatement of the sport in 1991 and soccer since 1965, experienced major renova�ons in 2000. The result is one of the most beau�ful and func�onal athle�c venues to be found on any college campus. Tusculum College alumnus and Board of Trustee member Sco� M. Niswonger fully funded the mul�-million dollar renova�on to Pioneer Field and the construc�on of the accompanying indoor prac�ce facility and field house located behind the west end zone. Niswonger also funded the construc�on of the 2,500-seat baseball stadium, located behind the east end zone of Pioneer Field. Pioneer Park, home of Tusculum Baseball and the Greeneville Astros, has received rave reviews as one of the finest baseball venues in the na�on. J.C. “Red” Edmonds Softball Field also received renovations with a state-ofthe-art playing surface and the installation of a new lighting system. The Niswonger Sports Complex was dedicated Oct. 25, 2003 in ceremonies prior to the Tusculum. Carson-Newman football game. Renova�ons to Pioneer Field included a two-story press box, new ligh�ng, concession areas, restroom facili�es and improvements to spectator sea�ng. The press box facility consists of 8,000-square feet designed to match the architectural style of the campus’s most classic buildings. The press box can accommodate 30 members of the media as well as coaches, film crews and scouts. A President’s Suite was also constructed and is located on the second floor at midfield and can accommodate 30 fans. Restroom facili�es were also added to the second floor. Below the press box facility, on the stadium concourse are concession areas and restroom facili�es. The concession area is located facing the playing field so fans won’t miss any of the ac�on. Sea�ng for 2,500 spectators is located on the north grandstand, including 200 chair back seats. Special orange “cap seats” were added during the renova�on phase along with the addi�on of new bleachers and aisle railings. Bleachers on the “visitors’ side” were constructed providing sea�ng for 1,000 spectators, giving Pioneer Field its present sea�ng capacity of 3,500. With the addi�on of grass bern areas on the north side of the complex and behind the east end zone, Pioneer Field could accommodate 5,000 spectators. That came to pass in 2003 as over 4,100 fans packed Pioneer Field to watch Tusculum defeat archrival Carson-Newman 2718. The field house behind the west end zone features locker room facili�es that can be divided into four separate dressing areas. Also featured in the field house is a dressing area for officials, a conference room and prepara�on areas for athle�c training and medical staffs. On the roof of the field house, an end zone filming area was also constructed. Along with the field house, concession areas and restrooms were built to serve spectators in the south grandstand area. New ligh�ng and standards were added, which has greatly improved the amount of illumina�on during home events. The ligh�ng system is iden�cal to the one used at the University of Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium in Knoxville. The bermuda grass playing surface, considered one of the best in the region, also received special a�en�on. New sod on the sideline areas for soccer and in both end zones were added. New parking facili�es were added in close proximity to the stadium and the indoor prac�ce facility. In its history, Pioneer Field has hosted several tournaments and championships over the years, including the Food Lion South Atlan�c Conference Soccer Tournament three �mes (2000-02), the NCAA Division II Region Men’s Soccer Tournaments three �mes (2004, 2007, 2008) and the 2005 NCAA II Southeast Region Women’s Soccer Championship. In 2008, the facility hosted host the both the first round of the NCAA Football Playoffs and the NCAA Southeast Men’s Soccer Regional on the same weekend. Last year, TC hosted a NCAA II Men’s Soccer Na�onal Quarterfinal match.

2011 Tusculum Football -- 13
2011 PROSPECTUS With the return of nine starters from the na�on’s top passing a�ack, including the South Atlan�c Conference offensive player of the year, there is a sense of op�mism for the Tusculum Pioneers and the 2011 campaign. In all, 44 le�ermen return for head coach Frankie DeBusk, including 20 starters, highlighted by Harlon Hill Trophy candidate Bo Cordell. Five starters also return on defense and six on special teams, but TC will have to replace All-American placekicker Gareth Rowlands, the program’s all-�me leading Tusculum head coach Frankie DeBusk kick scorer (270 career points). The Pioneers posted a 6-5 record, but finished seventh in the conference with a 2-5 SAC mark. Besides boas�ng the top passing game in the land, averaging 424.82 yards per contest, the Tusculum offense finished fi�h in the country in scoring (39.91 ppg) and total offense (484.64 ypg). Cordell led all NCAA divisions (FBS, FCS, II, III) in total offensive yards per game (425.45 ypg), passing yards per game (423.36 ypg) and comple�ons per game (35.82 cpg), and points responsible for per game (26.00 ppg) last season. He was named the SAC Offensive Player of the Year and finished fourth in the vo�ng for the Harlon Hill Trophy, which recognizes the Division II Na�onal Player of the Year.

2011 Tusculum Football -- 59
TUSCULUM COLLEGE TUSCULUM HISTORY Tusculum College is the oldest college in Tennessee and the 28th oldest in the na�on. In addi�on, Tusculum is the oldest coeduca�onal ins�tu�on affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and an early na�onal pioneer in the admission of women. Tusculum accepted women students early in its history, and it is notable that by the turn of the 20th century more than half of its students were women. The roots of Tusculum College are buried deep in early American fron�er history. In 1794, George Washington was president of a young country and the state of Tennessee was s�ll two years away from becoming a reality. In what is now East Tennessee, Hezekiah Balch and Samuel Doak, Presbyterian ministers educated at the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University), were ministering to the pioneers of what was the southwestern fron�er of the United States. They also desired to meet the educa�onal needs of these Scots-lrish se�lers. Doak and Balch were visionaries ul�mately seeking the same goals through the rival colleges they established. Tusculum College as it now exists descends from two schools. The first, Greeneville College, was chartered in September 1794 by the General Assembly of the Territory of the United States South of the Ohio River, and established by Hezekiah Balch. Samuel Doak and his son Samuel Witherspoon Doak founded the second as Tusculum Academy in 1818. Tusculum Academy operated in a log cabin adjacent to the present site of Tusculum College. When the academy became Tusculum College in 1844, Andrew Johnson, who was to become 17th President of the United States, was one of its trustees. A merger in 1868 formed Greeneville and Tusculum College. In 1908, Greeneville and Tusculum College merged with Washington College, crea�ng Washington and Tusculum College. This union dissolved in 1912, and thus evolved modern-day Tusculum College. The College received formal accredita�on by the Southern Associa�on of Colleges and Schools 15 years later. The College takes its name from the ancient Roman town where the great statesman and educator Cicero had an academy at his villa. Cicero taught what are now called the liberal arts. They actually were cons�tuted by the prac�ces a ci�zen must develop to par�cipate effec�vely in leading his or her community - to play a vital role in civic affairs. TUSCULUM ACADEMICS As a Civic Arts ins�tu�on, Tusculum College prepares students to be effec�ve ci�zens, recognizing that they will need prac�cal wisdom to par�cipate in communi�es and enrich life�me experiences. Tusculum’s academic calendar is different from all but three other colleges in the country. The academic year is divided into two semesters and our students take four 3 1/2 week courses each semester, totaling eight courses for the year. Classes are taught one at a �me, with a four-day break in between. Three 3 1/2 week summer sessions are also offered. This allows our students to complete course requirements for the baccalaureate degree in four calendar years. Our unique Civic Arts program is being used as a model for other colleges and universi�es that seek to promote community, responsibility, and civic development. The Carnegie Founda�on for the Advancement of Teaching has recognized Tusculum as one of about a dozen schools (including Duke University and the University of Notre Dame) with a strong commitment to those ideals. As part of our emphasis on service-learning, we ask students to assess the needs of the community and complete a project to address those needs. Beyond helping key popula�ons, Tusculum students gain valuable experience in solving problems, apprecia�ng differences, and working with others. Tusculum College is a learning community where students and faculty members spend concentrated blocks of �me together exploring important areas of knowledge, developing and refining thinking and communica�on skills, wrestling with the �meless controversial issues that characterize the human condi�on, and applying themselves to the prac�cal solu�on of problems. Whether in the tradi�onal on-campus Bachelor of Arts programs or in the evening Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts programs for working adult-students, Tusculum College’s dis�nc�ve academic calendar lets students concentrate on learning one subject at a �me. It’s a tradi�on grounded in the belief that we best realize the poten�al of each individual when faculty members and students work closely together with the ul�mate aim of enriching the lives of our students and preparing them to contribute posi�vely to their communi�es. For many tradi�onal students, an ini�al reason for choosing Tusculum is our focused calendar, which allows students to take one course at a �me. For others, its our dis�nc�ve programs of study, from specialized areas such as Athle�c Training, Business Administra�on, and Museum Studies to strong arts and sciences areas such as Biology, English, and Psychology. Tusculum is well known throughout East Tennessee for the effec�veness of its Teacher Educa�on programs. Students are well prepared for careers in early childhood and elementary educa�on, in several secondary educa�on subject areas, in K-12 programs in Physical Educa�on and Visual Arts, and in Special Educa�on. But what o�en seals prospec�ve students’ decisions to join Tusculum’s community is the people. Tusculum a�racts topflight professors for the same reason that we a�ract students: small classes with close interac�on between professors and students, the focused calendar which allows concentrated study, and a Civic Arts curriculum that emphasizes community. Our professors are mo�vated and mo�va�ng. Excited and exci�ng. Whatever the major, you’ll find that Tusculum’s academics are innova�ve, and that our faculty is commi�ed to the success of our students. THE TUSCULUM CAMPUS Located in Greeneville, Tenn., Tusculum College lies in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains between Knoxville and the Tri-Ci�es (Bristol-Johnson City-Kingsport). Our wooded 190-acre campus has over 25 buildings, nine of which are listed on the Na�onal Register of Historic Places. The Albert Columbus Tate Library, one of our Na�onal Historic Sites, was built in 1910. The library is experiencing a major mul�-million dollar renova�on and expansion that will more than double the size of the current library facility, bringing our library space to 34,467 square feet. The Tate Library previously encompassed 12,000 square feet, and is incorporated into the expanded and renovated building. We also have two on-campus museums, one holding archives with materials da�ng to the College’s beginnings. The Andrew Johnson Presiden�al Museum and Library includes the Charles Coffin Collec�on containing materials from the Collegeís original library, the Andrew Johnson Library containing books, papers, and memorabilia from the 17th President of the United States, and the College Archives containing documents related to the history of Tusculum since its founding. Tusculum’s loca�on is convenient to shopping and entertainment, and our students enjoy access to such recrea�onal opportuni�es as backpacking, hiking, whitewater ra�ing, fishing and snow skiing. The city of Greeneville and Greene County have a combined popula�on of 65,000. Knoxville and the Tri-Ci�es are within a 70-mile radius of the campus.
