2017

Season Outlook 96th Season of Wildcat Football ACU will be playing its 96th season of college

football in 2017. The Wildcats enter the season with an all-time record of 486-411-32 (.540 winning percentage). ACU should be playing its 99th season of football, but it didn’t field a team from 1943-45 because of World War II.

Seventeen Starters Are Back ACU returns 17 starters from the 2016 squad

that finished 2-9 overall and 2-7 in the Southland Conference. The Wildcats should be returning 18 starters, but offensive lineman Riley Mayfield graduated in May and took his two years of remaining eligibility with him to North Texas, leaving the Wildcats a gaping hole to fill on the offensive line.

Nine starters return on offense, led by junior quarterback Dallas Sealey and senior running back De'Andre Brown. Sealey was one of the most proudctive signal-callers in the league in 2016, while Brown will be looking to rebound from an injury-plagued junior season to find the form he disaplayed his first two seasons when he ran for more than 1,700 yards.

The Wildcats will also be without the services of wide receiver D.J. Fuller in 2017 as he sits out because of eligibility issues. Fuller is expected to redshirt in 2017 and return for the 2018 season.

Defensively, the Wildcats return seven starters, although Bryson Gates returns but is switching

from outside linebacker to rush defensive end.

Middle linebacker Sam Denmark continues his pursuit of the all-time ACU record for tackles, needing just 63 to surpass Ryan Boozer (1999- 02) for the all-time record.

ACU returns just two defensive backs from last season, including just one starter in cornerback Adonis Davis, who had a solid freshman season.

Also returning is reserve cornerback Jamar Mack.

44 Lettermen Return ACU returns 44 lettermen from last season – 21 on offense, 21 on defense, and two specialists.

The most experienced position groups on the roster are wide receiver (nine returning lettermen) and linebacker (eight returning lettermen).

The Wildcats lost the services of 21 lettermen from the 2016 season, including four-year punter Austin Kilcullen and three-year deep snapper Hayden Brodowsky.

Four Returning All-Southland Players ACU will return four all-Southland Conference

selections from 2016, including two first team selections in linebacker Sam Denmark and placekicker Nik Grau. Both Denmark and Grau have been selected to the conference's 2017 pre-season all-conference team.

Two players who were voted honorable mention all-conference – offensive lineman Dakota Laws and linebacker / defensive end Bryson Gates –also

return to the Wildcats in 2017. The only player the Wildcats saw honored in 2016 who won't return in 2017 is Mayfield, who was an honorable mention all-league selection on the offensive line.

Wildcats Face Tough Home Slate The five teams who will be in Abilene in 2017 for

the inaugural season at Anthony Field at Wildcat Stadium will certainly test Adam Dorrel's first team at ACU. Houston Baptist – the first opponent in the new stadium – joins traditional league powers Stephen F. Austin, McNeese, Southeastern Louisiana and Sam Houston State in helping to christen the Wildcats' new digs.

Those five teams were a combined 34-23 in 2016 with the Bearkats posting a 12-1 mark en route to an NCAA Division I FCS quarterfinals appearance. The Bearkats lost to eventual FCS national champion James Madison in the playoffs.

Three of ACU's home opponents posted winning records in 2016 with Sam Houston State finishing at 12-1, followed by Southestern Louisiana at 7-4 and McNeese at 6-5. Stephen F. Austin was 6-5 and Houston Baptist had the best season in its program's short four-year history with a 4-7 record, including a 27-24 overtime win over ACU in Houston, the Huskies' first win over the Wildcats.

Overall, the Wildcats' 11 opponents in 2017 were a combined 69-60 in 2016, including a 9-4 record by season-opening opponent New Mexico and a 7-6 record by Sept. 9 foe Colorado State.

SEASONPREVIEW Southland Polls Loaded Bearkats favored to once again win Southland championship in 2017

S

am Houston State – which won league titles in four of the previous six seasons – has been picked by both the coaches’ and the sports information directors from the Southland Conference to win the league championship again in 2017.

This year's single pre-season poll was a combination of votes by the league's head coaches and SIDs, and Sam Houston State came out as the overwhelming favorite to win the Southland championship. The Bearkats captured 20 of 22 possible first-place votes and 200 points.

Central Arkansas – which finished second in the league last year – has been picked to finish second again in 2017, capturing two first-place votes and 177 total points.

The Bearkats won last year's regular-season title with a 9-0 record and its closest games during the regular season were a pair of 13-point wins in conference play (over Lamar and Mcneese). Sam Houston State finished 12-1 on the season and reached the NCAA Division I FCS quarterfinals before falling to eventual national champion, James Madison, 65-7.

The Bearkats are led by the league's best set of skill-position players in quarterback Jeremiah Briscoe, running back Corey Avery and receivers Yedidiah Louis, Davion Davis and Nathan Stewart. Defensively, Sam Houston State is led by defensive end P.J. Hall and linebacker Justin Johnson.

Briscoe is the reigning Walter Payton Award winner, which signifies the top player in FCS football. He threw for 4,602 yards and 57 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions en route to one of the great individual seasons in Southland Conference history. Avery ran for 755 yards and 10 touchdowns, while Louis, Davis and Stewart combined for 184 receptions for 3,116 yards and 36 touchdowns.

Hall, meanwhile, led the Southland Conference in sacks (11.0) and tackles for loss (24.5) while registering 56 total tackles. Johnson led the Bearkats in tackles with 97. Each of those players were voted to the pre-season all-conference first team, along with other Sam Houston State players in offensive lineman Tyler Tazeno and kick returner Jaylen Harris giving the Bearkats eight players on the league's pre-season first team all-conference squad.

Following Sam Houston State and Central Arkansas in the pre-season poll are McNeese (163 points), Southeastern Louisiana (136 points) and surprising Nicholls (133 points) rounding out the top five. The rest of the poll starts with Stephen F. Austin (114 points) in sixth, followed

by Lamar (68), Abilene Christian (66), Houston Baptist (56), Northwestern State (49) and Incarnate Word (48).

ACU has two players on the league's first team all-conference: senior linebacker Sam Denmark and senior placekicker Nik Grau. Both were voted first team all-conference at the conclusion of the 2016 season and were automatically placed on the league's pre-season all-conference team in 2017.

Denmark – a two-time first team all-Southland Conference selection –enters the 2017 season needing just 63 tackles to become ACU’s all-time leader in tackles. He begins the 2017 season with 326 career stops (Ryan Boozer is the all-time leader with 388 from 1998-2001).

Grau returns for his senior season with a chance to finish as ACU’s all-time leader in field goals made and second in career PATs made and attempted and in career kicking points. n

2017 ACU WILDCAT FOOTBALL

SEASONPREVIEW 2017 ACU Offense

W

hen Adam Dorrel took over as the ACU head football coach in December 2016, one of his goals was for his team to become the most physical unit in the Southland Conference. That was the theme the offense carried throughout spring training as a new offense was installed under offensive coordinator Josh Lamberson, who ran Dorrel’s offense as the quarterback at Northwest Missouri State from 2001-05, leading the Bearcats to the 2005 NCAA Division II national championship game.

If the Wildcats are going to be similar to those Northwest Missouri State teams, ACU fans can expect to see a multi-faceted offense that will feature called quarterback runs, some plays for the backup quarterbacks, a desired 50-50 run-pass ratio, and a commitment to perfecting the fundamentals.

But a physical offense starts with a physical offense line, and that’s where the Wildcats have their biggest question marks going into 2017.. Starting right tackle Riley Mayfield graduated in May and left for North Texas where he'll have two years of eligibility remaining. Another question mark comes in the form of transfer Bill Webber, who should push his way into the starting lineup right away.

The transition to a new offensive style began in the spring and the results of the work will begin to show up on Sept. 2 when the Wildcats open the season at New Mexico. Until then, much work is left to be done and some major holes left to be filled. n Quarterback Junior Dallas Sealey returns in 2017 for his second season as the starter, and he’s coming off a solid sophomore season that saw him throw for 2,773 yards and 19 touchdowns, finishing in the top three in the league in completions, completion percentage, passingyards,passing yards per game, touchdowns and total offense.

Sealey threw for at least 300 yards in seven of the 10 games in which he played (all starts), including a 400-yard effort in a 41-30 loss against Stephen F. Austin.

Redshirt freshman Luke Anthony, who had a very solid spring training, enters the 2017 season as the backup quarterback with senior Kade Munden as the third string quarterback.

Lamberson, however, said Munden will have a role in the offense this season Coach Lamberson: “Dallas Sealey has a unique skill set and is very athletic. His experience at the Division I level is invaluable. Luke has made a phenomenal progression since January and is doing a great job learning the little things it takes to play quarterback. Kade will be very involved in a lot of our offensive sets. He's a very versatile athlete who can do a lot of different things in this offense.”

Player to Watch: Dallas Sealey joins Sam Houston State's Jeremiah Briscoe, Hayden Hildenbrand of Central Arkansas, James Tabary of McNeese and Chase Fourcade of Nicholls as the top five signal-callers in the league. He was second in the league in total offense per game (302.0) in 2016 behind Briscoe (349.9 ypg) as they were the only two players in the league to post more than 300 yards per game in total offense.

Running Backs Senior De’Andre Brown went through an injury-plagued season in 2016 as he ran for just 259 yards and two touchdowns last year after rushing for more than 1,700 yards and 14 touchdowns in his first two seasons.

He enters the season needing 701 yards to move into fourth place on the Wildcats' all-time rushing chart and less than 125 to move into 10th

14

place on the all-time list.

Sophomore Tracy James ran for 232 yards and four touchdowns and caught 14 passes for 202 yards and two scores, including a 76-yard catch and run touchdown in the season-opener against Air Force, and he enters the season as the backup behind Brown. Lamberson, however, said James will get plenty of opportunities in 2017.

Freshman Qua'Shawn Washington from Abilene High could see some time in the backfield as well..

Coach Lamberson: “De’Andre and Tracy will carry the bulk of the load in the backfield. Those two have been a great duo and complement each other very well. They are both well-rounded backs who can do everything a running back is asked to do in this offense.”

Player to Watch: De’Andre Brown can be a difference-making player in the backfield when healthy. He struggled with leg injuries all season after suffering an injury in the season-opener, and those injuries kept him from ever playing at 100 percent during the season. However, he had a terrific spring and the coaches are counting on him to show off the ability he displayed in 2014 and 2015.

Fullback / Tight End / H-Backs Over the years the tight end has played a big role int he Wildcats' offense, and 2017 should be no different as the Wildcats return Trevor Crain, Cody Ennis and Liam Flowers, who will also see time at the tight end / fullback / h-back positions.

Mason Hite returns and freshman Remington Lutz could also see time on the field in 2017.

Coach Lamberson: “Trevor can play multiple positions, and we're excited about what this group brings to the table.”

Player to Watch: Trevor Crain was voted a team captain and the coaches are excited to see what he can do in 2017 after a strong spring.

Wide Receivers The biggest loss for the Wildcats in the off-season came in the receiver group as D.J. Fuller –who led the Wildcats in catches (51),

2017 ACU WILDCAT FOOTBALL

Sophomore RB Tracy James receiving yards (749) and touchdown receptions (6) – will miss the 2017 season after being ruled academically ineligible. Fuller will redshirt in 2017 with the intent of returning to the team in 2018.

The Wildcats, however, still return their next four leagine receivers in senior Troy Grant (41-46-5 in 2016), sophomore Josh Fink (40-482-3), sohpomore Justin Miller (22-240-0), and Brown (19-228-1).

They also return redshirt senior Carl Whitley, who missed the entire 2016 season after suffering a knee injury in the penultimate game of the 2015 season. He caught 21 passes for 374 yards and two touchdowns in 2015.

Other returnees are Kalin Sadler (12-102-0), DeShun Qualls (6-51-0) and Chase Cokley (5-35-0).

Coach Lamberson: “We're looking for big things from this group. We've got good senior leadership in Whitley and Troy Grant. Thsi group has the potential to make a lot of big plays for us.”

Player to Watch: Carl Whitley hasn't played since late in the 2015 season, but will be counted on to provide leadership and big-play ability, especially with Fuller out for the season.

Offensive Line For the second straight season, this position group has probably the most question marks on the team, especially with the loss of Mayfield.

The line will be bolstered by the additions of transfers Bates and Webber. Webber should start at center, while Bates will start at left tackle.

ACU also returns Chance Rieken, Dakota Laws, Brady Melde, Austin Hisler, Anietie Etuk, Jon Crisp, Slayde Anderson and Emoree Giddens.

Freshmen Peyton Bird, Everett Gunnoe, Kage Hendrix, Clay Padgett, and Kade Parmelly could also figure into the mix.

Coach Lamberson: “This position group is probably our biggest question mark entering the season. But it's also a group that came a long way way since the spring and will only get better as they get more reps together.”

Player to Watch: Weber solidifies a line that lost Mayfield, and their experience at the FBS level (Toledo) will help the Wildcats in 2017.

2017 ACU Defense

F

rom the first day of spring training, new ACU defensive coordinator Tremaine Jackson has preached physicality and turnovers. Each day on the practice field, you could hear him bellowing, “I don’t care how we did it here in the past; it’s a new day!”

You can't blame Jackson for focusing on turnovers.

In three seasons as the defensive coordinator at Sioux Falls (2014-16), his defenses allowed just 19.5 points per game and forced 100 turnovers. Sioux Falls was 32-5 in those three seasons and advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs in each of those three seasons.

In the last three seasons, ACU’s defense has allowed an average of 32.4 points and 452.3 yards per game and has only taken the ball away 55 times, including just 13 takeaways last season. In their last 22 games (11 games in 2015 and 11 more in 2016), the Wildcats have allowed at least 40 points in a game eight times, four times in each season.

Still, Jackson does have some pieces to work with, led by senior middle linebacker Sam Denmark, who enters the season just 63 tackles away from becoming ACU’s all-time leader in that category. Also, senior Bryson Gates makes the move from outside linebacker to defense end, and senior Royce Moore moves from safety to linebacker to provide some pop in the front seven.

Coach Tremaine Jackson says: “We need to improve in all areas to be brutally honest. But my expectations for our defense entering the season are very high. We set a standard of play in the spring and summer that I'm eager to see come to fruition. The first thing we must improve on is leveraging the ball. We had a hard time understanding where to fit against blocks and keep the proper leverage on the ball." n Defensive Ends With Gates moving down to end from outside lienbacker, the Wildcats have a solid crew of defensive ends with Gates and returning starters Dylan Douglass – voted a team captain – and sophomore Temisan Kuyatsemi.

Also returning are sophomores Corey Smith and Reynel Previlon, each of whom showed some flashes in 2016 of being able to contribute more heavily in 2017.

The Wildcats also added Arkansas transfer Daytrieon Dean in the offseason and hope he can step in right away and lend his experience from playing in the Southeastern Conference to the rest of the front four.

The Wildcats also added ends Kameron Hill and Cordel Ijoma in the signing class, and one or more of those could contribute in 2017.

Coach Jackson: “We've got a very athletic group of guys, and we hope they can provide pressure on the opposing quarterback..”

Player to Watch: Daytrieon Dean is a 6-3, 280-pound transfer from Arkansas who was a three-star recruit and ranked the ninth-best player in Arkansas after his senior season of 2014. He hasn't played in two seasons at Arkansas, but ACU coaches are hoping he can make an impact on the Wildcats' defense .

Defensive Tackles Sophomore Cole Burgess moves inside from defensive end and joins returner Dante Hibbert.

The Wildcats lost three-year starter LaMarcus Allen to grades over the summer, putting an already thin position in even further peril..

The Wildcats have added transfer Jaleel Carter from from Fresno State. The Alief Elsik HS (Houston area) graduate is returning home after playing in just one game in two seasons witht he Bulldogs. Carter is a big body at 6-2, 320 pounds who should be able to help the Wildcats plug up the middle of the defensive line and help the defense improve a run defense that gave us 207

yards per game on the ground in 2016.

Coach Jackson: “This is a hysically strong group of guys that we think can help improve our run defense.”

Player to Watch: Dante Hibbert was voted a team captain after a solid spring and summer of pre-season workouts. Coaches love his work ethic and leadership qualities.

Linebackers Senior middle linebacker Sam Denmark has started 33 straight games and played in all 34 games of his ACU career, and he enters the season closing in on a pair of Wildcat football career records. If he starts all 11 regular-season games, he will be second on ACU's all-time games started list (44) behind center Sam Collins (46 from 2005-08), and his 45 games played would be second to Collins. He’s also just 63 tackles away from breaking the ACU school record of 388 set by Ryan Boozer from 1998-2001.

Denmark will be joined in the linebacker corps by returners Gavin Burford (MLB), Jeremiah Chambers (OLB), and Tryce Prince (OLB). The Wildcats also added high school signee Jack Gibbens and will move redshirt freshman Landry Hutchins from safety to linebacker in 2017.

Senior Royce Moore – who was voted a team captain in June – moves from safety to outside linebacker to provide more speed and pop in the linebacking corps.

Coach Jackson: “This is a mart group that we think help us be a better tackling unit."

Player to Watch: Denmark is obviously the key player, if for no other reason than the countdown to becoming the university's new all-time leading tackler. But there's also his leadership skills and every-down ability for the Wildcats that separate him from everyone else in this position group.

Senior LB Royce Moore Cornerbacks Sophomore Adonis Davis is the only returning player at the cornerback position, and he's coming off a solid freshman campaign that saw him play in seven games (six starts) and finish the season with 23 tackles.

Aside from Davis, the Wildcats also return Jamar Mack, who saw plenty of playing time at cornerback in 2017, along with redshirts Aaron Bunting, Kwame Darko-Mensah, Clabe Holmes IV, and Will Jackson.

Three freshman who signed with the Wildcats last February – Koy Richardson from Angleton HS, Obinna Udoye from Cedar Park HS and Dante Williams from Frisco Lone Star HS – could all be thrown into the fire in 2017.

Coach Jackson: “The jury is still out on this group. We'll have a lot of competition throughout the summer to determine who plays and who fits into the rotation.”

Player to Watch: Dante Williams had 79 tackles, 23 pass breakups and six interceptions as a senior in high school, leading Frisco Lone Star HS to a 10-2 record and District 13-5A championship.

Safeties The Wildcats return Brandon Richmond, who missed significant time last year due to injury, as well as Bolu Onifade. Those are the only two returning safeties – outside of Moore, who has moved to linebacker – who have played the position in college.

The Wildcats also added Texas transfer Erik Huhn during the summer.

Coach Jackson: “This position is much the same as cornerback. We'll have some competition throughout the summer, but the jury is still out.”

Player to Watch: Brandon Richmond played in all 11 games as a freshman in 2015, but was limited to just three games in 2016 because of injuries. His healthy return could be a key to how the secondary plays in 2017.

SEASONPREVIEW 2017 ACU Special Teams

S

enior placekicker Nik Grau returns to the Wildcats for his fifth and final season, and he does so as the only returning specialist on the 2017 roster.

The Wildcats graduated a four-year punter in Austin Kilcullen, as well as holder Parker McKenzie and three-year deep snapper Hayden Brodowsky, leaving ACU in the unenviable position of having to replace three key pieces of the special teams unit.

Grau, however, is one of the top kickers in the Southland Conference, having earned first team all-conference honors at the end of the 2016 season and first team pre-season all-conference recognition to start the 2017 season.

Unlike past year, the Wildcats won’t have one special teams coach.

Instead, it will be “special teams by committee” in terms of coaches as linebackers coach J.B. Brown will coach the punt block / punt return teams, wide receivers coach Ryan Gent will handle the punt team, defensive line coach Blake Andersen will handle the kickoff team, fullbacks / tight ends coach Derron Montgomery will be in charge of kickoff return, and volunteer assistants James Curlee and Mat Newton will coach the field goal teams. n

Special Teams Notes

Senior PK Nik Grau returns for his senior season with a chance to finish as ACU’s all-time leader in field goals made and second in career PATs made and attempted and in career kicking points. ... He enters the season fourth in ACU history with 37 field goals (Morgan Lineberry is the all-time leader with 50), and he's third in PATs (124) and attempted (130) behind Matt Adams (213 for 222) and Lineberry (140 for 154). ... He's third in career kicking points with 235 (Adams with 339 and Lineberry with 290 are first and second, respectively), and he's sixth in all-time scoring with those 235 points. ... With Kilcullen gone, the Wildcats added Simon Laryea from Mesa Community College where he was an all-conference punter. ... The Wildcats will return WR / KR Justin Miller, who averaged 21.7 yards per kickoff return in 2016 and scored on a 93-yard kick return at Stephen F. Austin on Sept. 24. ... Freshmen deep snappers Andrew Toothman and Houston Hance will compete with Chance Rieken for the job as the Wildcats' deep snapper.

A

dam Dorrel – who has led his teams to remarkable conference and national playoff success the past six seasons – was introduced Dec. 19, 2016, as the 20th head coach in ACU football history.

Dorrel joined the ACU staff after leading his alma mater, Northwest Missouri State University, to its second straight NCAA Division II national championship and third under his watch. In six seasons as a head coach, Dorrel has compiled a 76-8 record, a 90.5 winning percentage that is the best active mark in college football, ahead of Ohio State University’s Urban Meyer (second at 85.5 percent). Dorrel led the Bearcats to the NCAA Division II playoffs in all six of his seasons as the head coach and coached them to 30 straight victories to end his tenure at Northwest. That 30-game streak is the longest in the nation at any level, besting Alabama’s 25-game winning streak by five games.

He also was voted the American Football Coaches’ Association (AFCA) Division II Coach of the Year in 2013, 2015, and 2016 when he led the Bearcats to national titles. Aside from their prowess on the field, the Bearcats also have been successful in the classroom. Northwest student-athletes have had a higher cumulative GPA than the rest of the student body for more than 10 years. The football program is part of that, carrying a cumulative team GPA of 2.89 in Fall 2015 with three student-athletes earning a 4.0 GPA and another 62 earning at least a 3.0 GPA. Northwest football players have earned more than 200 academic all-MIAA citations since 2011 and six have earned academic all-America honors.

2017 ACU WILDCAT FOOTBALL

Dorrel inherits an ACU program that just completed its transition period from Division II status to Division I (FCS) affiliation, and in 2017 will be eligible to win the conference title and reach the national playoffs. The Wildcats also will be moving into a new venue (Anthony Field at Wildcat Stadium), the first time they will have an on-campus stadium to call home since 1946, the last full season they played at A.B. Morris Field.

ACU, however, is just 5-17 over the last two seasons and resides in the Southland Conference, one of the top FCS leagues in the country. The challenge for Dorrel will be to quickly build his staff, hit the recruiting trail in advance of the Feb. 1, national signing day for high school athletes, and get to know the players on his current roster.

Prior to being named head coach, Dorrel was the offensive coordinator for the Bearcats from 2007-10, four times facing ACU when the Wildcats were members of the Lone Star Conference. The teams split four games with the Wildcats winning two regular season contests and the Bearcats winning two playoff games (2008 in Abilene and 2009 in Maryville, Mo.).

During that stretch, Dorrel helped the Bearcats to an unprecedented five consecutive Division II championship appearances and their third national title in 2009.

Dorrel became the 19th head coach in Northwest history in 2011, succeeding Mel Tjeerdsma who retired after 17 seasons in 2010. In Dorrel’s 12 seasons with the Bearcats since joining their coaching staff in 2004, they have a 152-21 record and seven MIAA championships.

After earning his bachelor’s degree from Northwest in 1998, Dorrel spent a year as a graduate assistant at Northeastern State University (Okla.). He returned to the Bearcats as a graduate assistant in 1999 when the team won the second of its back-to-back national titles.

Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into the 21st Century.

The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans.

In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first round action.

Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Brad Underwood, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bob Marlin, Danny Kaspar, Mike McConathy, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led very successful teams in the Southland.

In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with former member Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2016, the Ladyjacks became the fifth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 1,000 wins.

In each of the last seven seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2013, four women’s squads earned postseason berths.

Another Lamar alum, Shawn Stefani, had a pair of top seven finishes on the 2013 PGA Tour.

Additionally, during the past five seasons the Southland has sent 12 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010, one each in 2011 and 2012 and two in 2013.

Austin midfielder Kylie Louw became the first player in conference history to earn All-America honors, when she earned third-team mention by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

In women’s golf, the Southland sent two teams to 2012 NCAA regional play for the first time since the league added the sport in 2002. Lamar has a league-best seven Southland championships during that span.

The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors male and female scholar-athletes with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, student-athletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A total of 2,333 student-athletes earned a spot on the Honor Roll at the end of the fall and spring semesters during the 2015-16 academic year.

The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom.

During the last decade, no other Division I league has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has.

In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes.

Officially, the 1922 ACU-West Texas A&M game was forfeited in favor of ACU. However, three quarters of the game was played in Abilene with the WT captain calling his teammates off the field in a protest over a failure of the officials to call what the WT players considered to be interference with a receiver. ACU was ahead 13-7 at the time the WT players left the field.

L

ee De León is entering his fourth year (third complete athletics season), and in 2017-18, he will be leading an athletics program in its first year of full eligibility as an NCAA Division I affiliate.

The Wildcats completed their four-year transition from NCAA Division II affiliation in 2016-17 with two more Southland Conference titles (women's basketball and men's tennis), giving ACU four conference championships during its transition period. The Wildcats also finished sixth in the Southland Conference Commissioner's Cup, which measures the top athletics programs in the league.

The Wildcats enjoyed a banner year in many respects in 2016-17, including academically where the athletics program boasted a combined GPA of 3.11, the highest of the four-year transition period. Eight of the program's 16 programs improved their combined team GPA over their 2015-16 mark.

De León oversaw the implementation of the Wildcat Club in 2015-16, and that turned into huge success in 2016-17 as the Wildcat Club finished the year with more than 700 members.

By the end of December 2016, 703 people signed up for the Wildcat Club, helping ACU Athletics raise more than $6.25 million in Wildcat Club gifts, including the Wildcat Annual Fund, capital and endowment gifts, as well as donations to ACU's sport-specific excellence funds.

De León also led the Wildcats' fundraising efforts for Anthony Field at Wildcat Stadium, ACU's first on-campus football stadium in more than 70 years. De León's efforts have increased the Champions Circle (donors who donate at least $10,000 per year) to more than 30 members and sell 13 suites at the stadium.

De León became the eighth director of athletics in ACU history on Nov. 13, 2014, taking over the Wildcats’ program in the midst of transitioning from NCAA Division II status.

De León is just the third person to lead Wildcat athletics who didn’t attend ACU, joining the first director of athletics, A.B. “Bugs” Morris, who served from 1927-69; and Shanon Hays, who served from 2002-03.

Prior to joining the ACU staff, De León was the associate director of athletics for development and executive director of the Lobo Club at the University of New Mexico. While there he was in charge of UNM’s Lobo Club, which raises funds for all Lobo teams, programs and student-athletes.

Prior to joining the staff at New Mexico, De León served three years at the University of Arizona, first as the director of annual giving and then as assistant athletics director for

major gifts and annual giving.

Before his stop in Tucson, Ariz.,

De León spent three years at the

University of Houston as the assistant ATHLETICS

director of marketing and later, director of marketing. De León also worked at LSU in 2005 as a marketing assistant for women’s soccer.

he recent exciting announcement at ACU of record-setting individual ($30 million) and collective ($55 million) gifts to the $95 million “Vision in Action” initiative will improve our students’ experience in dynamic, memorable ways.

Our respected programs in the sciences and humanities will soar even higher in the new Halbert-Walling Research Center and the Onstead Science Center, and in a renovation of Bennett Gymnasium as labs and classrooms for our engineering and physics program.

ACU graduates already are accepted to medical and dental school at a rate double the national average, so we anticipate even greater success preparing the next generation of scientists and healthcare professionals.

Our legendary track and field and fast-rising women’s soccer programs will prosper in the new Elmer Gray Stadium. And fans will enjoy new Wildcat Stadium, where ACU will play NCAA Division I football on Anthony Field, dramatically expanding opportunities for building community. The Wildcats are scheduled to begin playing in their new stadium in 2017, pending the completion of fundraising.

We are grateful to thoughtful donors who believe in our mission and invest in tomorrow’s leaders. And we look forward to a bright future of serving churches by sending them talented graduates, anchored in their faith and ready to make a real difference in the world. n

Excellence T

he remarkable success of ACU Wildcat student-athletes through the years is a tribute to the student-athletes, the coaches and the tradition of winning permeating the program. ACU recruits its student-athletes for their academic and spiritual qualities, as well as their abilities in athletics.

ACU’s intercollegiate athletics program began in 1919 when the football and men’s basketball teams were started. Former director of athletics A.B. Morris served as the head football and head men’s basketball coach during his long tenure at ACU. Former football coach A.M. “Tonto” Coleman went on to serve as the commissioner of the famed Southeastern Conference, and former track and field mentor Oliver Jackson coached three-time Olympic gold medalist Bobby Morrow – still called by some the greatest sprinter who ever lived.

Wildcat student-athletes have been blessed by a wealth of some of the top coaches in collegiate athletics, including Bill McClure (track and field), Wally Bullington (football), Dee Nutt (men’s basketball), Burl McCoy (women’s basketball), Wes Kittley (track and field), Don W. Hood (track and field), Don D. Hood (track and field), Brek Horn

(volleyball), Vince Jarrett (men’s golf), and Chris Thomsen (football). Current coaches such as Julie Goodenough (women’s basketball) and Hutton Jones (men’s and women’s tennis), Ken Collums (football), Tom Shaw (men’s golf), and Britt Bonneau (baseball) are at the top of their profession.

No intercollegiate athletics program in the state of Texas – at any level – can claim as many national championships as ACU, which has won 64 team titles since 1952. Of them, 57 have come at the NCAA Division II level, the fifth-most NCAA national championships in history behind only UCLA, Stanford, USC and NCAA Division III swimming powerhouse Kenyon College.

ACU’s 54 national titles in track and field are the most in one sport by any university in the country. The Wildcats won 163 Lone Star Conference championships from 1973-2013 and enjoyed some remarkable championship winning streaks. The men’s track and field team won 18 straight LSC championships (27 overall), and the women’s track and field team won each of the first 20 LSC titles before its streak ended in 2004. The men’s cross country team saw its LSC championship streak ended in November 2011 at 20 straight.

ACU student-athletes also have been awarded some of their sports highest individual honors, the most recent in 2008 when running back The Wildcat men's tennis team won a share of the Southland Conference championship in 2017.

In 2007, cross country standout Nicodemus Naimadu became the first athlete in NCAA history – male or female, any level – to win four consecutive individual national championships. In 2009, decathlete Camille Vandendriessche became the first athlete in NCAA history to win three straight individual national championships in the decathlon.

One year later, Linda Brivule became the first female in NCAA Division II history to win the individual national championship in the javelin.

ACU’s internationally recognized track and field program has produced world-record holders, more than 20 Olympians, several hundred all-America performers and two Olympic gold medalists. In addition, the program was named the Texas Sports Dynasty of the Century by Texas Monthly magazine in November 1999.

Wildcat teams won 163 Lone Star Conference titles from 1973-2013, more than twice its closest competitor. Also, ACU has produced 32 NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship honorees since 1966.

The Wildcats also are heavily represented in Halls of Fame across the country, the most recent in June 2015 when Jackson and Morrow were elected to the Texas Track and Field Coaches’ Association Hall of Fame.

Morrow is in six different halls of fame: ACU, Drake Relays, U.S. Olympic, U.S. Track and Field, Texas Sports, and Texas Track and Field.

Jackson is a member of the Texas Sports and U.S. Track Coaches halls of fame, and more than 50 other former Wildcats are recognized by other such organizations around the nation.

n 2012, senior quarterback Mitchell Gale became the all-time leading passer in Lone Star Conference and ACU history as he finished his career with 12,109 yards, passing former teammate Billy Malone (12,012 yards from 2005-08) atop both lists.

In the process, Gale also made ACU only the fourth university in NCAA history to have back-to-back starting quarterbacks throw for at least 12,000 yards in a career. The first to do it was Louisiana Tech University with Tim Rattay and Luke McCown from 1997-2003. They were followed by the University of Hawaii with Timmy Chang and Colt Brennan from 2001-07, and the University of Houston with Kevin Kolb and Case Keenum from 2003-11. Malone and Gale from 2005-12 make ACU the latest entrant into the select club.

During his four years as the Wildcats’ starting quarterback, Gale led ACU to 30 victories, three trips to the NCAA Division II playoffs and one LSC title. He currently plays for the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League.

“

I’m thankful for how I’ve grown in football and out of football while I’ve been at ACU. It’s helped me become the person I’ve become.

I couldn’t have done that without the coaching staff or my parents and grandparents or the people around me who have invested themselves in me and poured love into me.”
