Athletic Director Mark Peeler envisioned the return of football to Erskine years ago.

“Since I walked onto this campus 23 years ago, I felt it was a special place that offered a unique opportunity for students to develop in a rural Christian environment, but something was missing,” Peeler said. “Much of what I thought was missing had to do with school spirit and campus pride. I always felt football filled those pieces in—at least it does in many schools.”

Peeler worked on proposals for a football program, but the idea failed to gain traction at first. Then, after 10 years and two unsuccessful attempts, he was excited to see plans for football come together, backed by the Erskine College administration, in 2018.

“I am honored to get to be involved with it and am so grateful for all the people who have worked so hard to bring this vision to life. We are definitely doing football ‘The Fleet Way,’” Peeler said.

Since the hiring of Head Coach Shap Boyd in the fall of 2018, the program has been built from the ground up. Fleet Football was featured in the New York Times and The State and on WSPA. Then, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Erskine’s first game, scheduled for September 5, 2020, was postponed.

Once plans for a possible spring season were in the works, Boyd expressed gratitude and hope. “I just want to say how very happy we are to finally be releasing a schedule,” Boyd said then. “It has been an interesting two-year pre-season, and we are looking forward to being able to play some actual games.”

“Some of our players have been practicing for two years for this opportunity,” he added. “We feel blessed to finally be in this position, and God willing, we will get this kicked off in the spring.”

THE HISTORY OF ERSKINE COLLEGE FOOTBALL Erskine College came late to football, playing its first full intercollegiate schedule in 1915. In 1917 D.G. “Dode” Phillips, son of an ARP minister, and many of his teammates from Chester High School, entered Erskine, and the “Seceders” upset University of South Carolina, 14-13, on a forward pass from Dode to future Erskine coach Jakie Todd.

Over the next four years, Dode pushed Erskine into state prominence during a career that had him selected in 1950 as South Carolina’s “Athlete of the Half Century.” In 1921 he led Erskine to a 6-2 record. He scored on every opponent, as Erskine won the Little Four title and claimed a 13-0 victory over Clemson. Former Virginia Tech star Dave Parrish coached the Fleet during those successful years.

In 1926 Erskine had another great recruiting year, led by virtually all the players on Due West High School’s powerful team. Led by triple threat Gordon Parkinson, later dean of men and chemistry professor at Erskine, Erskine won the South Carolina freshman championship in 1926, defeating Clemson, 7-6. As seniors in 1929 those players compiled a 7-3 record. Erskine’s wide-open attack earned the team a new name, “The Flying Fleet.”

Jakie Todd coached the 1926 freshmen and began a 14-year career as Erskine head coach in 1927. Todd’s teams were always competitive against tough schedules including many Southern Conference opponents. In 1933 the Fleet played ties against Davidson, Furman, and Presbyterian, then a South Carolina powerhouse. Tailback James Boyce Pressly led the 1937 Erskine team to an unbeaten record in Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association play. It went 6-4 and won the SIAA and Little Four championships.

Todd left the Fleet in 1941 to become head of the South Carolina Pardon and Parole Board, and Erskine suspended football after the season because of World War II. After a winless season in 1946 when play resumed, Erskine hired John McMillan, wartime coach at the University of South Carolina, as its head coach. McMillan brought Gene Alexander with him as assistant. The two had played together at South Carolina before the war and opposed each other as junior college coaches in 1946.

McMillan and Alexander brought with them an outstanding array of World War II veterans, including many South Carolina and junior college transfers, who produced two of Erskine’s finest teams in 1947 and 1948. Led by such stars as tailback “Rabbit” Lowry and quarterback Harry Hipps, the team finished 7-3 in 1947 and 6-4 in 1948. In 1948 Erskine handed Florida State a 14-6 loss, the only loss of the season for the Seminoles.

The Fleet was primed for its finest season in 1949 before many of its starters were ruled ineligible. The SIAA ruled that transfers had only two years of eligibility remaining after leaving junior college, and those transferring to Erskine after their freshman year had exhausted their eligibility. In 1950 Coach Alexander was called to active duty in the Korean War. McMillan was left to coach the winless 1951 team alone. With enrollment dropping due to the war, the GI Bill no longer paying for athletes’ education, and the absence of the principal assistant coach, the program seemed unsustainable. The Erskine Board of Trustees voted to drop football in the spring of 1952.

In 1987 Erskine formed a club football team that played for two seasons, claiming a victory over the Clemson club team. This team found itself outmanned, however, against opponents playing academically ineligible varsity players or recruiting for future varsity teams, and the program was discontinued.

During 33 years of competition, Erskine had an overall losing record but produced some of South Carolina’s greatest players, victories over South Carolina, Clemson, The Citadel, and Florida State, and competitive teams under great coaches. The Fleet looks forward to the rebirth of a great football heritage.

BOYD PROFILE Shap Boyd served for three seasons as the Defensive Coordinator and Safeties Coach at the University of Virginia at Wise. Prior to his arrival, the Cavalier defense ranked 161st (out of 167) in scoring defense, 145th in total defense and 166th in passing defense. In his first season at Wise, the Cavaliers finished with the program’s first winning season since 2008 and their six wins were more than the previous three seasons combined.

Boyd’s defense improved each year, becoming a force both in the Mountain East Conference and nationally. In his last season at Wise, his defense finished 4th nationally in tackles for loss, 14th in yards per play, 18th in yards per pass, 32nd in scoring defense, 25th in total defense, and 20th in passing defense.

“We hate to lose Coach Boyd at UVa-Wise, but are excited for him and congratulate Erskine,” said Kendall Rainey, Director of Athletics at the University of Virginia at Wise. “Coach Boyd’s experience at various levels of college football have given him appreciation for the balance of DII. He is a no-nonsense hard worker and he sets that standard for his players. Coach Boyd and his family have had a strong impact on our football program, our department and the campus community through their involvement and engagement.”

From 2014 to 2015, Boyd was the special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach for Southeastern University Fire in the program’s first two years of competition. In his two seasons with the Fire, the program had a record of 17-5, an All-American Punter/Kicker, and four All-Conference Defensive Backs.

Prior to his service at Southeastern, Boyd was the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Muskingum University of Ohio for seven seasons.

During his tenure with the Muskies, the defense went from 10th in the Ohio Athletic Conference prior to his arrival to third in each of his final three seasons. The Muskingum defense also finished 24th nationally against the run in 2011. Before coming to Muskingum, he served as defensive coordinator/defensive backs at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, from 2004-2007.

Boyd spent five seasons at NCAA Division I Jacksonville University as the secondary coach before being named associate head coach and defensive coordinator. Prior to Jacksonville, he coached at The University of the South, Lycoming College, and Lock Haven University.

Erskine’s new head football coach is a 1985 graduate of the University of the South, where he was a member of the football team, and he earned his master’s degree in 1987 from Middle Tennessee State University.
