| TODAY ’S GA ME LIBERTY STORYLINES • Coming off its best season in program history, Liberty will kick off the 2024 campaign against Campbell this evening at Williams Stadium. After going 8-0 at Williams Stadium to set a program record for home wins a year ago, Liberty will play four of its first six contests in Lynchburg to start the season.

• Liberty enters the 2024 season as the CUSA preseason favorite, and the Flames are receiving votes in both national Top 25 polls.

and Camels, both of which have come in season openers (also 2021). The Flames defeated the Camels 48-7 at Williams Stadium in both teams’ 2021 opener.

3 – Each of Liberty’s first three games this season will be played against a team with a first-year head coach, starting with Campbell’s Braxton Harris. Although it has only been three years since Liberty last faced Campbell, only seven current Flames appeared in that game. Liberty returns its top three rushers from the nation’s No. 1 rushing attack in 2023.

• Jamey Chadwell begins his second year at Liberty after winning Steve Spurrier First-Year Coach of the Year honors in 2023. He owns a 44-7 record dating back to the start of 2020 and has coached a pair of unbeaten regular season teams during that span.

4 – Liberty was the only FBS team with two 400-yard rushing games last season. The Flames rushed for a program and CUSA record 4,106 yards in 2023.

• Liberty QB Kaidon Salter is the CUSA Preseason Offensive Player of the Year following a 2023 season where he set program records for TD passes (32), TDs responsible for (44), and rushing yards by a QB (1,089).

73: QB Kaidon Salter needs 73 rushing yards to reach 1,500 for his career. He set a Liberty QB single-season record with 1,089 rushing yards in 2023.

• Salter and fellow returnee RB Quinton Cooley (1,401 rushing yards) spearheaded a Liberty ground attack which ranked No. 1 nationally with a Liberty and CUSA-record 4,106 rushing yards in 2023.

• CUSA Preseason Defensive Player of the Year DE CJ Bazile Jr. headlines an opportunistic defensive unit that forced 25 turnovers (21 INTs, four fumbles).

“4 DOWNS” WITH CAMPBELL

MILESTONE WATCH

197: RB Quinton Cooley enters the season 197 rushing yards away from hitting the 2,000 mark for his career, which began with three seasons at Wake Forest (402 rushing yards). Cooley racked up 1,401 rushing yards during his first year at Liberty in 2023, ranking No. 2 on the Flames’ single-season rushing chart.

300: Liberty’s next victory will be No. 300 in program history. The Flames are 299-254-4 all-time since beginning varsity football in 1973. Liberty’s first-ever victory was a 29-7 home triumph over Ferrum on Oct. 25, 1973.

1 – Expectations are high for the Flames this season after winning their first FBS conference title (CUSA) and making their first New Year’s Six bowl game appearance (Vrbo Fiesta Bowl) in the 2023 season.

After sweeping the CUSA regular-season and championship game titles, Liberty set a program record for wins, finishing 13-1.

2 – Both Liberty (CUSA) and Campbell (CAA) are beginning their second season in their current conferences. This is the second alltime gridiron meeting between the Flames

FINDING LIBERTY AND MORE

BY QUINTON COOLEY

There’s no such thing as a life that’s better than yours.

world, facing surgery from tearing my labrum in high school did.

I fell into a tough bout of depression.

But I sought help.

J. Cole’s lyrics struck me.

I connected with a psychologist and started to see the world through a brighter lens.

Life gives you a choice.

Then life got tough again.

I could either choose to love my life, or I’d never really live it.

Rehab.

You ain’t never gon’ be happy ‘till you love yours.

Torn meniscus.

So, I embraced it.

It’s a little easier to love my life lately.

After battling three injuries back-to-back-toback, I finally got to play football last fall.

Since it was Coach Jamey Chadwell’s first season, we expected an adjustment period, but he set a new standard for our team from day one.

We ended the regular season undefeated and won the conference championship.

I was even fortunate enough to win the CUSA Newcomer of the Year Award.

Back to football.

Rehab.

Back to football.

Cartilage tear in my other knee.

I was in a dark place.

I needed a fresh start and found one at Liberty.

I asked for strength from the Lord up above.

I also found a fresh start within my faith.

I learned to love God and surrender the big stuff to Him. Happiness is not circumstantial.

I learned that the hard way.

But, whether I’m in a season of blessing or challenges, I try to not let either define my narrative, though each shapes my perspective.

But each day, I’m grateful God gave me another life and another chance to be here and be here to help others.

While I’m grateful to God I’m in a healthy place now, I didn’t have a good background as a kid.

FINDING MY FAITH

I faced child abuse and experienced the separation of my siblings.

Transferring to Liberty changed everything in my life.

I was anxious and hurt.

I went on a visit, and as soon as I stepped on campus, I was like, “Whoa, this is beautiful.”

And yet ….

I saw all the glass buildings, the lake, the oldschool brick buildings.

My life was still worth living.

This felt special.

When I was eight years old, I moved in with my aunt, near my other siblings, and started to live again.

I also connected well with the team.

It was hard to see the world in a good light.

For the first time in my life, I was surrounded by

She helped me begin to heal.

She encouraged me to start playing football.

By middle school, I started to realize I was talented and fell in love with the sport.

I graduated high school a semester early to start college at Wake Forest.

Three months into college, COVID hit.

| P LAYE R FE ATU R E STORY other guys who were followers of Christ.

Studying at Liberty transformed my faith by immersing me in it.

I’d always known about God but never developed a relationship with Him. Developing a relationship with God gave me someone to surrender my doubts to.

I gave it all to Him. Once it’s in God’s hands, it’s off my shoulders.

I finally found peace.

GIVING BACK God got me here, and now I want to reach out and help the next kid.

It’s rare to experience abuse as a child and not fall down the wrong path.

I am fortunate to have worked through that and found the light, and I want to make sure others seize hope too.

Thankfully, being on the team gives me a lot of opportunities to impact my community and hang out with kids.

I love going to schools and reading to kids because they look up to us. They look at us as their superheroes.

I want to show them that just because you go through something bad doesn’t mean that you can’t change your story.

Whether it’s just playing around with them or donating shoes or clothes — it’s those little acts of service that help ground me and remind me why I’m here.

I’m also getting my degree in counseling so I can continue to serve kids long-term.

I want to talk to kids in a different way that will resonate with them because I know what it’s like to go through really hard times.

But there’s still a little football left in my life.

This season, I’m not focused on the expectations or pressure that comes with being named to watch lists like the Doak Walker Award, the Maxwell Award, or the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy.

I’m just focused on being a leader for my teammates and serving them in whatever way they need.

It’s a privilege to wear the Liberty uniform, and I want to make the most of every opportunity I have to take the field.

I’m eager to see what this season brings, and I’m focused on being a blessing to others in whatever way I can.

But it’s not just football that defines me anymore.

Liberty opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities.

And frankly, this was something I was always craving.

| P RE SI DE NT COSTI N BI O

DONDI E. COSTIN, PH.D. Dr. Dondi Costin began serving as Liberty University’s sixth president on July 1, 2023. He returned to Liberty, his alma mater, after five years as president of Charleston Southern University. He is a retired Major General with more than 32 years of commissioned service in a military career that culminated as a senior leader in the Pentagon, where he served as the eighteenth Air Force Chief of Chaplains.

Dr. Costin is a native of Wilmington, N.C., and was commissioned a second lieutenant upon graduation from the United States Air Force Academy in 1986.

He then served successively as an industrial engineer evaluating air-to-ground precision guided munitions, chief of scientific analysis on a major command headquarters staff, and assistant professor of aerospace studies at Texas Christian University. After ten years as a line officer, he became an Air Force chaplain in 1996.

An ordained Southern Baptist minister, he was endorsed by the Liberty Baptist Fellowship during his 22 years as a chaplain. His chaplain assignments included service as Air Force Basic Military Training chaplain, senior flightline chaplain for both special operations and conventional forces in England, readiness instructor/evaluator preparing Chaplain Corps personnel for worldwide deployment, Air Staff branch chief, wing chaplain in Germany, senior chaplain for the air component mission in Southwest Asia, senior chaplain for Pacific Air Forces, and Air Force Chief of Chaplains.

As Chief of Chaplains, he established guidance and provided advice on all matters pertaining to the religious and moral welfare of Air Force personnel and their families. He led an Air Force Chaplain Corps of 2,000 chaplains and Religious Affairs Airmen and was the senior pastor for more than 664,000 personnel. As chairman of the Armed Forces Chaplains Board, he advised the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff on religious, ethical, and quality-of-life concerns for the entire U.S. military.

He assumed the presidency of Charleston Southern University (CSU) immediately following his military career. The university flourished as an unapologetically Christian university under Costin’s leadership, which featured a visionary strategic plan, the university’s award-winning response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, and recognition as the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce’s 2022 Business of the Year.

Dr. Costin helped launch the university’s first two doctoral programs, the state’s only four-year aviation program, an engineering department consisting of three engineering concentrations, the Dewey Center for Chaplaincy, and the Strack Center for Global Leadership and Ministry. Costin also oversaw construction of the first residence hall in 30 years, a state-of-the-art engineering and science building, a world class addition to the health science building, a new student center, renovation of the CSU campus store, expansion of the campus coffee shop, and the finest private university intramural complex in South Carolina.

Under his leadership, the Limitless Campaign set CSU records for annual giving, one-year campaign giving, and Giving Day totals, while establishing the Hans A. Nielsen College of Business as CSU’s first named college. In addition, new student enrollment increased 20 percent during his tenure, and CSU Athletics enjoyed its best year in university history, finishing third in the Big South Conference Sasser Cup competition while attaining a 3.23 studentathlete cumulative GPA. He also served as president of the Big South Conference during his tenure at Charleston Southern.

Dr. Costin earned a Bachelor of Science degree in operations research from the United States Air Force Academy and graduate degrees from Liberty University (M.A. in counseling), Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary (M.A. in religion), Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (M.Div.), Air Command and Staff College (Master of Military Operational Art and Science), Air War College (Master of Strategic Studies), and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (D.Min in evangelism and church growth; Ph.D. in leadership).

Dr. Costin has also received the U.S. Jaycees Ten Outstanding Young Americans Award and the Military Chaplains Association Distinguished Service Award as Air Force Chaplain of the Year, led his chapel team to recognition as the Air Force Outstanding Large Chapel Organization of the Year, was twice named one of Charleston’s 50 Most Influential People, has been recognized as a Distinguished Alumnus of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and was commissioned as a Colson Fellow in 2023.

His military awards and decorations include the Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal, Gallant Unit Citation, Kosovo Campaign Medal, three Afghanistan Campaign Medals, Korean Defense Service Medal, and NATO Medal.

He has been married to Vickey for more than 35 years.

Vickey earned a Bachelor of Music Education degree from The University of Southern Mississippi and a Master of Education degree from Texas Christian University. Her career as a public elementary school music teacher spanned more than 23 years and included teaching assignments in six states.

| A D I A N MCCAW BI O IAN MCCAW IIan McCaw has a vision for Liberty Athletics, and he has worked quickly to make that vision a reality since being named the department’s 11th director of athletics on Nov. 28, 2016. His vision for Liberty’s intercollegiate athletics program is to train Champions for Christ by providing a high quality student-athlete experience and achieving victory with integrity.

McCaw has lived out this mission, guiding Liberty Athletics to unparalleled success on the field, in the classroom and the local community in his short time on Liberty Mountain.

Heading into the 2024-25 athletics season, Liberty’s teams have captured 69 total conference titles since McCaw’s arrival on Liberty Mountain.

Under McCaw’s leadership, Liberty Athletics is the fastest growing athletics department in the country. Nearly all 20 of its NCAA Division I programs have reached new heights at the national level in the last few years.

Liberty’s success on the field during McCaw’s time on Liberty Mountain has allowed the visionary athletics director to reshape conference affiliation for the Flames.

Less than three months into his time at the head of the athletics department, McCaw helped launch Liberty into the top level of intercollegiate competition. On Feb. 16, 2017, Liberty received notification that the NCAA had approved its request to enter into a two-year Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) reclassification process.

McCaw then helped pave the way for the future of Liberty Athletics on May 17, 2018, when it was announced that 17 of the 20 NCAA Division I programs will end a 27-year run in the Big South Conference to join the ASUN Conference for the 2018-19 athletics season.

Liberty Athletics swept all three All-Sport trophies each year the conference presented the award during the Flames’ five-year run as a conference member: 2018-19, 2021-22 and 2022-23.

The league did not award any All-Sport trophies during the 2019-20 and 2020-21 athletics seasons due to the cancellation and disruption of the seasons caused by COVID-19.

In the era of massive conference realignment, McCaw positioned the Flames to make another conference leap when Liberty moving to Conference USA, starting with the 2023-24 athletics season.

Conference USA is now the all-sports conference for Liberty Athletics, including the Flames’ football team that has competed as an FBS independent program since moving up to the FBS level in 2018.

Following a highly successful five-year run as a member of the ASUN Conference, Liberty Athletics moved into its first-ever FBS athletics conference when it joined Conference USA on July 1, 2023.

Liberty’s recent success has spawned unprecedented growth in the Flames Club and record-setting football and basketball season ticket sales.

Liberty Athletics made quite an impression during its first year of Conference USA membership, winning a league-high 10 conference titles. Football and softball each swept the CUSA regular-season and championship titles, while men’s golf, women’s soccer, men’s indoor track & field, men’s outdoor track & field, women’s indoor track & field, and women’s outdoor track & field were all victorious at their respective CUSA Championship events.

Financial support for Liberty Athletics continues to grow at a record pace as the Flames Club finished the 2023-24 year with a record number of members (5,041), an increase of 1,342 donors since 2018.

Women’s swimming & diving captured the Atlantic Sun Conference title, while field hockey earned a BIG EAST regular-season crown, bringing the Flames’ yearly total to 12 conference championships.

Liberty captured five titles during its fifth and final year of ASUN Conference membership in 2022-23, including men’s golf, men’s indoor track & field, men’s outdoor track & field, women’s indoor track & field, and women’s outdoor track & field. The Flames also won a BIG EAST title (field hockey) and a CCSA championship (women’s swimming & diving).

The Flames ranked No. 98 in the final 2022-23 Learfield Directors’ Cup standings. Liberty has finished inside the top 100 ranking of the top collegiate athletics departments in the country three out of the last four years and five total times in athletics department history.

Liberty’s other top 100 national rankings include No. 70 (2020-21), No. 74 (2021-22), No. 82 (2001-02) and No. 96 (2011-12).

Under McCaw’s leadership, Liberty’s transition to the FBS ranks has been one of the most successful in NCAA history.

Liberty is one of three teams (also Appalachian State and Marshall) to become bowl eligible in each of its first five seasons after transitioning from the FCS to FBS. The Flames are 3-2 in bowl games, winning the 2019 Cure Bowl, 2020 Cure Bowl and 2021 LendingTree Bowl titles.

The Flames’ fifth-straight bowl game appearance marked the most notable athletics event in Liberty Athletics’ 50-plus year history.

Following an undefeated regular season in 2023 and a win in the CUSA Football Championship game, Liberty made its first-ever New Years Six bowl game appearance where the No. 23 ranked Flames battled No. 8 Oregon in the 2024 Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.

Liberty’s success has not just been limited to the field of competition, as Flames student-athletes are also winning in the classroom.

While Liberty Athletics was making the next major step onto the national scene on the field of competition, its student-athletes matched the effort in the classroom during the 2023-24 academic year. Liberty Athletics concluded the 2023-24 academic year with a 3.36 cumulative GPA, the highest year-end mark in athletics department history.

Additionally, Liberty’s 3.36 cumulative GPA was the highest athletics department GPA in Conference USA in 2023-24, earning Liberty Athletics the CUSA Institutional Excellence Award. The award is given to the school with the highest GPA for all student-athletes in conference-sponsored sports.

All 20 of Liberty’s teams earned a 3.0 or higher GPA during the spring 2024 semester, the first time in school history that every team has achieved this feat. Additionally, all 20 teams achieved a 3.0 or greater GPA for the 2023-24 academic year for the first time ever.

Overall, the cumulative GPA for Liberty’s 590-plus student-athletes has risen 13 out of the last 15 semesters.

Liberty’s graduation success rate (GSR) climbed to an all-time high of 96 percent and has seen an increase or matched its previous year’s total each of the last 11 years and 12 out of the last 13 years. A total of 133 Liberty Flames student-athletes were honored as a part of the 2024 Liberty University graduating class.

Outside the classroom, our NCAA student-athletes remain dedicated to serving the Lynchburg community while growing as individuals.

During the 2023-24 academic year, Liberty’s student-athletes participated in over 40 different community service and outreach projects and more than 75 different personal development workshops, seminars and programs.

The Lord continues to move among our student-athletes with 13 finding newfound faith in Jesus Christ this year, while many others took their profession of faith public with a baptism. During the 2023-24 academic year, a total of 39 student-athletes were baptized, including some by their fellow teammates or coaches.

During Liberty’s first season under head coach Jamey Chadwell, the Flames reached unprecedented heights and continued the upward trajectory as one of the fastest growing FBS programs in the country.

Chadwell became the 10th coach in program history when he was hired on December 4, 2022. During his first season on the Mountain, Chadwell was charged with leading the Flames into uncharted territory during Liberty’s first season in Conference USA. Liberty entered the 2023 bowl season with a perfect 13-0 record and was one of four undefeated teams in the country, joining Florida State, Washington, and national champion Michigan.

Chadwell guided the Flames to an unblemished 8-0 regular season record in Conference USA and a 49-35 win over New Mexico State in the CUSA Football Championship game.

Chadwell’s success positioned the Flames to receive their first-ever invitation to play in a New Year’s Six bowl game. Liberty squared off against No. 8 Oregon in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl on January 1 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

Chadwell’s spread option offense allowed Liberty to finish the 2023 season ranked No. 1 in the country in rushing, averaging 293.3 yards per game. Liberty finished the year rushing for a program-record 4,106 yards and 39 touchdowns.

| JAME Y CHA DW E L L B I O Six years prior to coming to the Mountain, Chadwell worked at the Beach (2017-22), guiding the rapid growth of the Coastal Carolina football program at the FBS level and in the Sun Belt Conference.

Chadwell coached the Chanticleers to first-place finishes in the Sun Belt Conference in 2020 and 2022 (tied for first in East) and a 31-6 record over the last three seasons. He helped Coastal Carolina secure its first two FBS bowl game appearances at the 2020 and 2021 Cure Bowl, including a win over Northern Illinois, 47-41, in the 2021 Tailgreeter Cure Bowl.

After guiding Coastal Carolina to an 11-0 regular season record in 2020, Chadwell was named the 2020 Walter Camp Coach of the Year, The Home Depot College Football Coach of the Year, Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year, Sporting News Coach of the Year, CBS Sports/247Sports Coach of the Year, Paul “Bear” Bryant Group of 5 2020 Conference Coach of the Year and Grant Teaff Coach of the Year Award (FCA).

Chadwell’s Chanticleers were ranked in the top 25 Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls for a total of 22 consecutive weeks from Oct. 18, 2020, through Nov. 7, 2021.

The Chanticleers were also ranked as high as No. 12 in the College Football Playoff rankings in 2020, which set a Sun Belt record.

With their back-to-back double-digit wins total in 2020 (11-1) and 2021 (11-2), Coastal Carolina was one of six teams at the FBS level to post back-to-back double-digit win seasons during the two-year span.

The Chanticleers (22-3) were one of 10 teams to win 20-plus games over the same period: Alabama (26-2), Louisiana (23-2), Cincinnati (22-2), Coastal Carolina (22-3), Notre Dame (21-4), BYU (21-4), Georgia (22-3), Oklahoma (20-4), Oklahoma State (20-5), and Clemson (20-5).

The Chants had a total of three players pick up All-America recognition in 2021, as senior tight end Isaiah Likely was named a second-team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), the Walter Camp Football Foundation (WCFF), the Pro Football Network (PFN), and the College Football All-SIS, while also picking up 2021 Phil Steele All-American honorable mention honors.

Freshman defensive end Josaiah Stewart was named to the 2021 FWAA Freshman All-American team, The Athletic’s 2021 College Football Freshman All-American team, ESPN 2021 College Football True Freshman All-American team, 2021 247Sports True Freshman All-American team, and the 2021 Pro Football Network (PFN) All-American third team, while also picking up 2021 Phil Steele All-American honorable mention accolades and being named a semifinalist for the 2021 Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award. Senior wideout Jaivon Heiligh was named a Phil Steele All-American honorable mention.

On top of that, quarterback Grayson McCall was named the 2021 Blanchard-Rogers Trophy (S.C. Heisman) award winner and was a repeat as the 2021 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year, as a total of 16 Chanticleers picked up All-Sun Belt honors. With his second-straight Conference Player of the Year honor, McCall became one of just four student-athletes in the history of the Sun Belt Conference to pick up multiple Player of the Year honors and do it in back-to-back years.

In 2020, Chadwell led the Chanticleers to the program’s first-ever Sun Belt Conference title, an 11-1 overall mark, including an 8-0

Sun Belt Conference record, and the program’s first-ever FBS postseason bowl game.

The Chanticleers posted two wins over ranked FBS opponents, the first two such victories in program history, four wins over top 50 opponents. They were ranked as high as No. 9 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and No. 11 in the Amway Coaches Poll, both Sun Belt Conference records.

Chadwell saw five players in Tarron Jackson (Walter Camp Football Foundation (first team), Associated Press (first team), FWAA (first team), American Football Coaches Association (first team), ESPN (first team), Reese’s Senior Bowl (first team), Phil Steele Publication (first team), Sporting News’ (second team), CBS Sports/247Sports (second team), Senior CLASS secondteam All-American)), C.J. Brewer (Associated Press (third team), Phil Steele Publication (honorable mention)), Grayson McCall (FWAA Freshman All-American, The Athletic’s 2020 College Football Freshman All-American), Willie Lampkin (FWAA Freshman All-American, ESPN College Football’s True Freshman All-America Team, The Athletic’s 2020 College Football Freshman All-American, 247Sports True Freshman All-American), and Isaiah Likely (Pro Football Focus (PFF) (second team)) all pick up AllAmerican honors in 2020.

With his first-team honors from the AP, AFCA, FWAA, and WCFF, Jackson was recognized as a consensus All-American. He was also named a finalist for the Lombardi Award, the Lott IMPACT Trophy, and the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, and was a Bednarik Award semifinalist, a William V. Campbell Trophy semifinalist, and earned a spot on the Ted Hendricks Award watch list.

Jackson would go on to be drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the seventh round (191st overall pick) of the 2021 NFL Draft, becoming just the seventh Chanticleer in program history to be selected in the NFL Draft.

McCall also picked up individual national honors, as the redshirt freshman was named the 2020 Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) Most Inspirational Freshman. He was also a Manning Award Finalist, a Maxwell Award semifinalist, a Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award semifinalist, and a Shaun Alexander-FWAA Freshman of the Year Award semifinalist, while linebacker Silas Kelly was recognized as a 2020 Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year.

The team earned 16 selections to the 2020 All-Sun Belt team, including 10 first-team selections. They also secured five of the conference’s six individual awards: Player and Freshman of the Year (McCall); Defensive Player of the Year (Jackson); Newcomer of the Year (D’Jordan Strong) and Coach of the Year (Chadwell).

In Chadwell’s first year as the full-time head coach for the Chants in 2019, the Chanticleers went 5-7 overall and highlighted the season with a 12-7 win on the road at Kansas, the program’s firstever win over a Power 5 opponent on the gridiron.

For the second-straight season, the Chants missed bowl eligibility by just one win and finished 2-6 in the Sun Belt Conference.

However, the Chants were competitive all season long, as seven of their 12 games on the season were decided by one score (eight points) or less.

Remaining the offensive play-caller in 2019, the Coastal Carolina offense recorded over 400 yards of total offense five times, including a season-high 636 yards in the road win at UMass. The Chants were 23-for-29 (79.3 percent) on fourth-down attempts which was the second-best percentage both nationally and in the Sun Belt, while the 23 fourth-down conversions were tied for the third-most nationally behind only Army and Navy with 26.

37

Charleston Southern broke through on the national stage in a big way in 2015, compiling a 10-3 overall record and a 6-0 Big South mark en route to achieving a pair of firsts -- an outright conference championship and an automatic FCS Division I Championship bid.

The Bucs finished the regular season as one of just three programs to go undefeated against fellow FCS competition.

In a season that saw the offense grab most of the attention with its gaudy numbers, it was the Liberty defense that showed up in its biggest game. A stout defensive effort led Liberty to a 23-16 win over Georgia Southern, Dec. 21, in the 2019 FBC MortgageCure Bowl.

The win capped off the most memorable year in program history. Liberty completed its FBS reclassification process in August, received its first-ever bowl game invitation on Dec. 8 and walked away from Exploria Stadium with a bowl game trophy in hand.

With the victory, the Flames became the third FBS transitioning team in NCAA history to win a bowl game during their first season at the FBS level.

Flames defensive end Jessie Lemonier was named the 2019 Cure Bowl MVP, finishing the game with eight tackles, including two sacks.

| L IB E RTY FOOTBA L L CE NTE R ABOUT The Liberty Football Center (LFC) is a 65,455-square-foot facility located in the north end zone at Williams Stadium that was renovated and reopened in Spring 2020.

Shortly after the completion of the 2018 football season, Liberty began the renovation project to expand its football operations center that originally opened in 2006 as the Football Operations Center (FOC). The renovation project added 18,000 square feet to the three-story facility.

The top floor of the facility houses 17 offices, 10 position meeting rooms, and offensive and defensive meeting rooms, plus a 147-seat, theater-style team meeting room.

The middle floor of the building, located on ground level, includes a locker room with 122 lockers and an attached equipment room to better service Liberty’s football players.

This floor also houses a 13,000-square-foot player’s lounge, including a nutrition center,

and can accommodate up to 130 people. The area is used as a recruiting area during home football games.

A glass enclosed cardio workout room replaced the existing front entrance to the operations center, and the workout area overlooks the lower level.

Rounding out the amenities of this floor is a press room for weekly press conference and postgame interviews, plus a training room.

The sports medicine area also includes 11 treatment beds, an on-site x-ray room, and hydrotherapy pools.

Closing out the facility is a state-of-theart weight room in the lower level of the operations center. The 16,000-square-foot workout space is furnished with the latest training equipment, allowing Liberty’s players to prepare themselves to excel at the highest level of college football.

| F LA M E S SP IRI T A ND TRA DI TI ON THE NICKNAME The Liberty University athletics teams have been nicknamed the Flames since 1974, when the student body chose the Flames over several other options. The decision was based upon the school’s motto, “Knowledge Aflame.”

Liberty began in 1971 as Lynchburg Baptist College with green and gold as the school’s colors. In 1976, the name was adjusted to Liberty Baptist College, and the colors were changed to red, white, and blue. The school once again changed its name in 1985 to Liberty University. However, throughout the shifts, “Flames” remained the nickname for Liberty’s athletics teams.

In 1980, the eagle was designated as the Flames’ new mascot because of the patriotic symbolism and connection with the school name. It was designed with the Flames’ nickname in mind. Thus, a flaming torch clutched in the eagle’s left talon was included in the original mascot renderings.

2023-24 YEAR IN REVIEW Liberty made quite an impression during its first year of Conference USA membership, winning a league-high 10 conference titles.

Football and softball each swept the CUSA regular season and championship titles, while men’s golf, women’s soccer, men’s indoor track & field, men’s outdoor track & field, women’s indoor track & field, and women’s outdoor track & field were all victorious at their respective CUSA Championship events.

Women’s swimming & diving captured the Atlantic Sun Conference title, while field hockey earned a BIG EAST regular season crown, bringing the Flames’ yearly total to 12 conference championships.

FOOTBALL

The Flames enjoyed an incredible season of firsts under first-year Head Coach Jamey Chadwell. Liberty finished 13-1 following its first undefeated regular season, its first CUSA regular season and championship game titles, and its first New Year’s Six bowl appearance (Vrbo Fiesta Bowl vs. Oregon).

VOLLEYBALL

Liberty made it back-to-back winning seasons, headlined by its first win over a top 25 opponent (Sept. 7 at No. 23 Hawaii).

MEN’S SOCCER

During its first year of Ohio Valley Conference membership, Liberty posted a 9-6-3 overall record for its highest win total since 2017.

Midfielder Gabe Findley became the first Flame to earn all-region honors in five years.

CROSS COUNTRY AND TRACK & FIELD

Liberty joined Houston (1998 and 2005) as the only two CUSA members to ever claim conference titles in men’s indoor track & field, women’s indoor track & field, men’s outdoor track & field, and women’s outdoor track & field during a single year. The Flames’ conference championship streaks reached 27 in a row for men’s indoor track & field and 17 straight for men’s outdoor track & field, both of which rank as the longest active streaks in the nation. A program-record three Lady Flames earned All-America honors at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Among them were now three-time All-American Calli Doan (10th place in steeplechase) and Katie Urbine (10th place in pole vault), the Lady Flames’ first freshman to garner NCAA Division I AllAmerica distinction.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

The Flames’ 18-14 season featured a Myrtle Beach Invitational championship in November.

Kyle Rode wrapped up his standout career by collecting his third straight all-conference nod (second team All-CUSA).

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Liberty went 12-3 in its final 15 contests to reach the CUSA title game during its first year as a conference member and end the season with an 18-16 record. The Lady Flames’ first victory of the season was No. 548 of Carey Green’s career, making him the winningest coach in Liberty Athletics history (any sport).

WOMEN’S SOCCER

The Lady Flames started the year with an 11-0 record, closing out a program-record 24-match unbeaten streak (21-0-3) which dated back to 2022. Liberty then claimed the school’s first CUSA trophy in any sport, capturing the CUSA Women’s Soccer Championship crown to earn its eighth NCAA Tournament bid.

FIELD HOCKEY

The 17-3 Lady Flames defeated No. 1 and eventual national champion North Carolina, won the BIG EAST regular season title with a 7-0 conference record, and earned their first atlarge bid to the NCAA Division I Field Hockey Championship.

MEN’S TENNIS

Liberty notched an 18-9 overall record, advancing to the Conference USA Men’s Tennis Championship title match and making its second consecutive UTR Sports NIT Championship appearance.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

The 18-7 Lady Flames reached the Conference USA Women’s Tennis Championship final and made their postseason tournament debut (UTR Sports NIT Championship). Along the way, they earned a program-high No. 54 national ranking.

WOMEN’S LACROSSE

The Lady Flames paced the nation in caused turnovers per game (15.89) but saw their season halted in a one-goal loss to host Jacksonville during the Atlantic Sun semifinal round.

MEN’S GOLF

The Flames came from behind on the final day to win the CUSA Men’s Golf Championship title in a playoff. As a result, they competed in an NCAA Regional for the eighth consecutive season.

BASEBALL

Liberty hit its most home runs in 22 years (76), including eight during the Flames’ run to the semifinal round during their first visit to the Conference USA Baseball Championship.

SOFTBALL

The Lady Flames went 38-25, including a sweep of the Conference USA regular-season and tournament championships. Liberty then reached an NCAA Regional Final for the fourth time in program history, coming within one out of its first regional title before falling to the host team, No. 11 Georgia.

CHUCK BURCH

ATHLETICS ADMINISTRATION 1982-90 DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS 1990-97 A 15-year administrative veteran at Liberty University, Chuck Burch played a large part in establishing the Flames as a flourishing NCAA division I Athletics program, including during his seven years as Director of Athletics (1990-97).

FOOTBALL 2001-04

KRISTAL (THARP) BECHTOLD

Dre Barnes was one of the most dominating running backs in program history. More than two decades following his playing career, he still holds the program’s gold standard for career rushing yards.

One of the best long-range shooters in program history, Kristal (Tharp) Bechtold becomes the second player from the 2005 NCAA sweet 16 team to join the Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame.

DRE BARNES

Barnes is the only player in program history to surpass 4,000 career rushing yards, setting the program record of 4,063 yards during his standout fouryear playing career (2001-04). He surpassed 1,300 yards in a season both as a sophomore (1,304 yards in 2002) and a junior (1,347 yards in 2003), and he could have added another season if he hadn’t missed five games in 2004 due to an injury.

The native of Ocilla, Ga., earned Football Gazette All-America honorable mention honors in 2001 before helping the Flames in their early years as a member of the Big South Conference. The running back was a three-time Big South All-Conference honoree and became the program’s first-ever Big South Offensive Player of the Year in 2003. During his final two years as a Flame, Liberty posted a 3-1 record in conference play, marking the program’s first two winning seasons in FCS conference play.

En route to the program’s all-time career rushing mark, Barnes recorded 20 100-yard rushing performances and surpassed the 200-yard mark in four games. Following graduation, Barnes was honored for setting the rushing standard in the Big South Conference when he was named to the Big South All-Decade team (2002-09).

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL 2002-05

Bechtold stormed the Big South Conference during her first collegiate season, earning 2002 Big South Freshman of the Year honors. She finished the season shooting 42.0% from the field (76-of-181), including 37.4% from three-point range (34-of91).

The two-time Big South first-team allconference honoree (2003 and 2005) enters the Hall of Fame ranked third in program history in career three-point field goal percentage (35.8), sixth in three-point field goals made (151), and seventh in three-point field goal attempts (422).

The native of Chillicothe, Ohio, helped the Lady Flames to four straight Big South titles and a 100-26 record during her four-year playing career.

Bechtold, along with 2015 Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame inductee Katie (Feenstra) Mattera, made Liberty history in 2005 by guiding Liberty to its first two NCAA Tournament wins and an appearance in the Sweet 16.

A standout in the classroom as well as on the court, Bechtold was a two-time Big South Scholar-Athlete of the Year (2004 and 2005) and became the Lady Flames’ first-ever CoSIDA Academic All-America® selection as a senior in 2005. A member of the NCAA Division I Elite Student-Athlete Advisory Group as a junior and senior, Bechtold went on to earn her doctoral degree from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2009.

Burch joined the Liberty Athletics staff in 1982 as an assistant sports information director before being promoted to assistant and associate athletics director. He gained valuable experience in nearly every area of the Athletics Department during this time, handling compliance, tickets, budgeting, game management, sports information, and the Flames Club.

Burch played a vital role in Liberty Athletics’ move to the NCAA Division I ranks in 1988 before taking over as the department’s seventh director of athletics in 1990. He found conference affiliation for the Flames in the Big South Conference, starting with the 1991-92 season.

The Flames captured 16 Big South titles during Liberty’s first six years in the league with Burch at the helm of the department. The most notable title was the 1994 Big South Men’s Basketball Championship that placed Liberty in the NCAA Tournament for the first time, where the Flames faced No. 1 North Carolina in the first round of the “Big Dance.”

In 1997, Burch returned to his alma mater, Gardner-Webb University, where he was named the vice president of athletics. He maintained this role for 25 years before retiring from collegiate athletics in May of 2023.

The native of Marietta, Ga., exploded onto the collegiate baseball scene in 2000 with a .406 batting average, 56 runs scored, 16 doubles, six home runs, 49 RBIs, and 35 stolen bases. Butler was duly honored when he was named the 2000 Big South Freshman and Player of the Year. He was also named to a pair of Freshman All-America teams on the national level (Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and Baseball America), capping his standout rookie season.

Butler’s immediate success helped Liberty capture the 2000 Big South Baseball Championship title and the program’s first-ever win at an NCAA Regional. He was named to the Big South All-Tournament team all three years of his career at Liberty, and he was the Big South inaugural winner of the Howard Bagwell Award in 2000 (Male Athlete of the Year). At the time of his Hall of Fame induction, Butler still ranks in the program’s career top 10 in runs (169), doubles (48), and stolen bases (52).

His stellar three-year career landed Butler in the major leagues after his junior year when he was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 10th round of the 2002 MLB Draft. He went on to play three seasons at the minor league level.

after graduating in 1983. A two-time letterwinner on the Flames Football team (1978-79), Gillespie was named the 1983 Rock Royer/Mac Rivera Award winner, garnering the highest honor bestowed upon a Liberty student-athlete.

He served as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Liberty from 1983-91, an assistant track & field coach from 1983-85 and 1987-91, and the head track & field coach in 1986.

After an 11-year career at Washington that included a national championship in 1991, Gillespie returned to the mountain where he served as head football strength and conditioning coach from 2005-18, helping Liberty move from winning FCS conference titles to having success in the FBS ranks.

Outside the collegiate space, where he was a CSCCA Master Strength Coach, Gillespie was also a world-renowned weightlifter. He is a 133-time world record holder and the all-time world record holder with a 1,129-pound bench press at the age of 62.

BILL GILLESPIE

TRACK & FIELD/FOOTBALL/STRENGTH COACH 1978-83, 1983-91, 2005-18 Bill Gillespie’s impact on Liberty Athletics spans four different decades as a national champion in track & field, a football player, and a strength and conditioning coach who helped Train Champions for Christ at his alma mater.

The native of Tacoma, Wash., quickly made Liberty Mountain his second home by becoming the 1980 and 1981 NCCAA shot put national champion as a freshman and sophomore. He also helped the track & field program capture the NCCAA team national title in 1981.

Gillespie was a four-time All-American in the shot put (NCCAA – 1980 and 1981; NAIA – 1982 and 1983) and owned the Liberty outdoor men’s shot put record (55-8.5) for 24 years

After coming to Liberty off a torn ACL during her senior year of high school, Margraff went on to become a 10-time Big South individual event champion (three in cross country, four in indoor track & field, and three in outdoor track & field) and was an 18-time All-Big South performer.

The native of Centerburg, Ohio, is one of only four runners in program history to qualify for the NCAA Cross Country National Championship as an individual, and she is the program’s only three-time cross country All-Region performer (2010, 2011, and 2012).

After becoming the Lady Flames’ only three-time Big South women’s cross country individual champion (2010, 2011, and 2012), Margraff culminated her cross country career with a 93rdplace finish in the 2012 national championship.

2013, she owned four program records (cross country 5K, cross country 6K, indoor 3K, and indoor 5K).

Margraff received Liberty’s highest student-athlete honor in 2013 when she was named the winner of the Rock Royer/Mac Rivera Award. Following her career, Margraff’s efforts were continually honored by the Big South Conference when she was named to the 2010-19 Big South All-Decade team for cross country and indoor and outdoor track & field.

HOLLY VAN NOORD

WOMEN’S SOCCER 2013-16

Holly Van Noord was an unstoppable force for the Lady Flames that resulted in three Conference Championships and a trio of trips to the NCAA Women’s Soccer Championship.

Nearly a decade following her time on the pitch, Van Noord enters the Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame as the program’s all-time career leader in shutouts (41) and goals-against average (0.80). She also ranks second in career games played (86) and career saves (407).

A two-time Big South Defensive Player of the Year honoree (2014 and 2016), Van Noord is the only player in program history to hold this distinction twice.

She was named to three Big South allconference teams (first team in 2014 and 2016; second team in 2013) and was named the VaSID All-State Rookie of the Year in 2013.

Van Noord’s standout presence in goal helped guide the Lady Flames to fourstraight appearances in the Big South Women’s Soccer Championship game.

The women’s soccer team claimed three titles during her time on the mountain (2013, 2015, and 2016), and she was named to two Big South AllTournament teams (2015 and 2016).

COMMUNITY SERVICE & PERSONAL/PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Outside the classroom, Liberty NCAA student-athletes remain dedicated to serving the Lynchburg community while growing as individuals. During the 2023-24 academic year, Liberty’s student-athletes participated in over 40 different community service and outreach projects and more than 75 different personal development workshops, seminars, and programs.

During the Fall 2023 semester, Liberty’s student-athletes raised almost $8,750 through the Dollar Makes A Difference initiative (school supply drive). Since the establishment of Dollar Makes A Difference in 2010, Liberty’s NCAA Division I student-athletes have raised over $82,000 for Lynchburg City and surrounding area schools. The funds have been used to purchase glue sticks, markers, crayons, scissors, paper, and other highly requested school supplies to help meet the needs of both students and teachers.

The Learn Like Liberty literacy program had over 75 different student-athletes reading to local elementary school children each week, and countless lives were encouraged to develop a love of reading.

“Love. Care. Serve.” is the promise Liberty student-athletes have for each other and the Lynchburg community with the goals of demonstrating love, caring for those in need, and serving with a grateful heart.

ATHLE TI CS FEATU RE | During the Spring 2024 semester, Liberty Flames student-athletes continued to spread the love of reading through the Hop on Pop outreach program. All 20 NCAA programs raised money to purchase books to add to the classroom libraries of 35 local elementary schools, and 100 student-athletes attended a reading event where they read to all of the classrooms. Additionally, student-athletes gave new life to over 200 pairs of shoes that were collected during the Shoe Redo program during the spring.

In addition to serving the Lynchburg community, Liberty Flames student-athletes were dedicated to growing personally and professionally through Student-Athlete Development programming. During the 2023-24 academic year, programming included one-on-one resume sessions with Career Services, Communication Skills Workshops in collaboration with the School of Communication, Money Monday financial literacy seminars hosted by the Center for Financial Literacy, and guest speakers presenting with the SHERO and MENtorship programs.
