“4 DOWNS” WITH JAMES MADISON

1 – Liberty and JMU will meet in the Battle of the Blue Ridge, the first of 10 matchups between the Virginia foes over the next 16 years. Saturday’s game will mark their first clash as FBS foes. The Flames are in search of their first-ever victory over the Dukes inside Williams Stadium. Liberty’s last home win over JMU came on Sept. 30, 1989, less than a month before Williams Stadium opened.

2 – Both Liberty and James Madison opened the season with home wins over FCS opponents. Both squads are in search of their first FBS triumph of 2025. It has been two years since Liberty faced an in-state opponent (Old Dominion on Nov. 11, 2023). Liberty has only faced two opponents (Charleston Southern and Gardner-Webb) more often than James Madison

3 – Flames Evan Dickens and Donte Lee, Jr. have each scored TDs in all three of Liberty’s games to start the season. Lee, Jr. will try to become the first Flames WR with receiving TDs in four straight contests since CJ Daniels in 2023.

4 – Along with Liberty vs. JMU, there will be four other CUSA vs. Sun Belt contests on Saturday (Kennesaw State vs. Arkansas State, Middle Tennessee vs. Marshall, LA Tech vs. Southern Miss, and UTEP vs. ULM). All five CUSA-Sun Belt meetings this week will be hosted by the CUSA squad.

HOME SWEET HOME

Liberty is 38-7 at Williams Stadium since joining the FBS in 2018 and 151-56 all-time at the facility.

The Flames have posted a 5-1 home record against Virginia opponents in their FBS era, with their only in-state home loss during that stretch coming on Nov. 19, 2022, a 23-22 setback to Virginia Tech.

Liberty is 12-0 in its last 12 September home games. The last team to beat Liberty in September at Williams Stadium was North Texas, 47-7, on Sept. 8, 2018.

COMMONWEALTH CLASH

Liberty is 46-39 all-time against teams from the Commonwealth of Virginia, including 25-16 at home and 15-11 inside of Williams Stadium.

Facing James Madison this week and Old Dominion next week, Liberty will face Commonwealth opponents in back-to-back weeks for the first time since 2005 (William & Mary, VMI).

WILLIAMS STADIUM CLEAR BAG POLICY

CLEAR BAG POLICY

In an effort to enhance fan safety and expedite entrance to Williams Stadium, Liberty University has implemented a security screening process that includes a clear bag policy.

x 6” x 12,” 1-gallon plastic freezer bags, and small handheld clutch purses (no larger than 4.5” x 6.5”) will be allowed into Williams Stadium. Liberty Athletics encourages guests to arrive at least 60 minutes prior to kickoff to avoid lines and enjoy the pregame, in-stadium activities.

ACCEPTABLE BAGS

BRYLAN GREEN: WORTH EVERY STEP OF THE JOURNEY

As I enter my final year at Liberty University, the journey has been nothing short of remarkable.

I have seen us find an FBS conference home, was part of our first CUSA Championship team, and have been a part of three-straight bowl games. I even got to experience Liberty’s first-ever New Year’s Six bowl game appearance against a national powerhouse like Oregon.

Throughout my time here, I’ve been fortunate to experience the highs and lows that come with being a dedicated athlete, but it’s all been worth it.

This season, my personal goals are within reach, especially earning All-America honors once again. I achieved this milestone during my sophomore year, and I firmly believe that with dedication and hard work, I can do it again.

However, what truly drives me is the team’s success.

Winning another conference championship and playing in another high-profile bowl game are goals that would elevate Liberty University to new heights on the national stage.

It’s not just about individual achievements, but about putting Liberty on the map and showcasing the talent and dedication within our program.

DOING MY “1-11”

One of the key philosophies I hold dear is the concept of doing my “1-11.”

In football, there are 11 players on the field, each with a specific job. If I can focus on fulfilling my role and ensuring that the other 10 players do the same, we can achieve greatness as a team.

It’s about being accountable and trusting in each other to execute our assignments.

When we all do our “1-11,” we become an unbeatable force on the field.

As I reflect on my legacy at Liberty, I want to be remembered as someone who was always there for my teammates and gave it my all on the field.

It’s not just about the stats or accolades; it’s about the relationships and impact I’ve had on my fellow athletes and the Liberty community.

PLAYER FEATURE STORY

In a world where players often seek new opportunities through the transfer portal, I’ve

chosen to stay loyal to Liberty.

This place has given me everything I need to succeed, both on and off the field.

The resources, connections, and sense of belonging I’ve found here are invaluable.

It’s a decision I made with careful consideration, and I believe it was the right one.

CHOOSING FOOTBALL OVER BASEBALL

Choosing football over baseball was a difficult decision for me.

Baseball was my first love, and I had dreams of playing at the next level. However, injuries and the incredible success I experienced in football led me to make a business decision.

It wasn’t easy to give up a sport that brought me so much joy, but I trust that God has placed me on the right path.

The transition from baseball to football wasn’t without its challenges.

Baseball requires a level of dedication and time commitment that many don’t fully understand.

It was a sport that allowed me to be free and escape from the pressures of everyday life. But in choosing football, I found a different kind of fulfillment and purpose.

I’ve been blessed with a strong support system throughout my journey.

My parents, coaches, and mentors have played a significant role in shaping me into the student-athlete and person I am today.

They’ve taught me valuable lessons both on and off the field, and their guidance has been instrumental in my success.

One piece of advice that has stuck with me is to never put all my eggs in one basket.

My father always reminded me of this, especially during my recruiting process. He encouraged me to explore different opportunities and not limit myself to one path.

This mindset has been crucial as I navigate my athletic career and prepare for life beyond football.

FAMILY AND MENTORS

My parents have been my pillars of strength, instilling in me the values of being a great human and a great man.

They have supported me every step of the way, ensuring that I have everything I need to succeed.

My high school football coach, Trev Faulk, taught me the right way to play the game and imparted valuable life lessons.

My uncles, Levar Gauthier and Paul Barbour, played significant roles in shaping my baseball skills, which have also benefited me in football. These individuals have come together to guide me on my journey and teach me the importance of perseverance and dedication.

BALANCING FOOTBALL AND FUTURE ASPIRATIONS

Looking ahead, I have a clear plan for my future. While football will always be a part of my life, I know it won’t last forever. I have aspirations to pursue a career in real estate and take over my parents’ businesses.

They have their own contracting and pharmacy enterprises, and I hope to continue their legacy and expand those ventures into chains.

It’s a way for me to give back and ensure the financial stability of my family.

As I enter my final season at Liberty, my focus is on putting my best foot forward and leaving everything on the field.

I want to show scouts and future employers that I’m a smart player who always gives 100 percent effort.

I strive to be the quarterback of the defense, ensuring my teammates are lined up and ready to execute our game plan.

In doing so, I believe I have a strong chance of making it to the next level and continuing my football career.

In conclusion, my journey at Liberty University has been a testament to the power of dedication, perseverance, and faith.

I’ve had the privilege of representing this university on the football field and leaving a lasting impact on my teammates and the Liberty community.

As I prepare for my final season, I carry with me the lessons learned, the support of my loved ones, and the determination to achieve my goals.

Liberty will always hold a special place in my heart, and I am forever grateful for the opportunities it has provided me. TO FIND OUT

FLAMES SPIRIT AND TRADITION

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.

2024-25 YEAR IN REVIEW

WOMEN’S SWIMMING & DIVING | 2015-19

Cardie posted a program-record 10 podium finishes at the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) Championship. She led the program to a team championship in 2019 during her senior season, Liberty’s second conference title in school history.

The native of Sugar Land, Texas, was named the CCSA Female Swimmer of the Year in 2018 and earned her second straight appearance at the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championship. In 2018, she was presented the NCAA Elite 90 Award, given to the studentathlete with the highest GPA at the national championship event.

ERIN (MCKEOWN) HAGEN VOLLEYBALL | 2000-03

Erin (McKeown) Hagen’s impact on Liberty Athletics has been felt for more than two decades, starting with a star-studded career on the volleyball court for the Lady Flames.

Hagen was a driving force at the middle blocker position behind Liberty’s volleyball success in the early 2000s. She helped the Lady Flames get two appearances in the Big South Championship title match (2001 and 2002), an NCAA Tournament berth (2001), and the 2003 Big South regular season championship.

As a sophomore, the native of Glendale, Ariz., helped the Lady Flames win the 2001 Big South Conference Championship and earn the program’s third NCAA Tournament berth.

One of only five players in program history with 1,000 or more kills, 1,000 or more digs, and 300 or more blocks, Hagen was twice named to the Big South first-team all-conference listing. She was a two-time first-team VaSID selection, the 2002 Big South Championships MVP, and was honored as the 2003 Big South Player of the Year.

At the time of her graduation, Hagen ranked third in program history with 1,479 career digs, fourth with 341 career blocks, and seventh with 1,308 career kills.

After serving two years as a graduate assistant with the Lady Flames Volleyball program (2004-05), Hagen transitioned to the administrative side of Liberty Athletics, where she has continually helped shape the upward trajectory of the department. She began her administrative role as director of Compliance and has served as senior woman administrator since 2013.

CLENDON HENDERSON

MEN’S TRACK & FIELD | 2007-08

Clendon Henderson made the most of his two competitive seasons on the Mountain, laying the foundation for Liberty’s success in the throwing events for years to come.

Following a national runner-up finish in the discus with South Plains College at the NJCAA level, Henderson transferred to Liberty, where he helped the Flames sweep the Big South Indoor and Outdoor Track Championships in 2007 and 2008 and win back-to-back IC4A Outdoor Track Championship titles.

The native of Meadow, Texas, became the first thrower in program history to qualify for the NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships in 2007. He was also the first thrower in program history to earn All-America honors, when he placed third in the discus at the 2008 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

Henderson graduated in 2008 as the Liberty and Big South Conference record holder in the indoor shot put, outdoor shot put, and outdoor discus. The discus mark, which also earned him a trip to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials, still stands as the Liberty and Big South standard at the time of his Hall of Fame induction.

Henderson, a three-time Big South individual champion, was twice named Big South Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was selected as a 2008 CoSIDA Academic All-America® first team honoree.

Following his standout career on the track, Henderson continued to shape the future of the program by serving as an assistant coach with the Flames for 13 years (2009-21), where he coached four All-Americans in the throwing events.

STACY (RADULOVICH) NEAL SOFTBALL | 1996-99

Stacy (Radulovich) Neal helped mold the softball program during its infancy at the NCAA Division I level as one of the program’s early dynamic standouts, allowing the program to quickly find success.

During her freshman season on the Mountain, Neal posted a Big South best .437 batting average, to go along with 53 runs scored, 12 doubles, seven triples, 24 RBIs, and 39 stolen bases. The standout rookie season numbers earned her 1996 Big South Rookie of the Year accolades. Her starstudded freshman season helped the Lady Flames garner their first 30-win season at the Division I level in 1996 with a 36-18 record.

The native of South Holland, Ill., was a three-time Big South all-conference honoree and three-time VaSID all-state selection. In 1998, she was named the VaSID All-State Player of the Year after batting .339 with 37 runs scored, eight doubles, eight triples, and a careerhigh four home runs.

Neal finished her days in a Liberty uniform with 31 career triples, which still stands today as the school record and is 10 more than any other player in Big South Conference history. The lofty career number earned her a spot on the Big South All-Decade team (1990-99).

During her final year on the Mountain, Neal and the Lady Flames captured the program’s first Big South regular season title and posted their first 40win season (41-25).

JESSE SANDERS MEN’S BASKETBALL | 2008-12

Jesse Sanders set the standard for point guard play at Liberty University during his stellar four-year career.

Sanders, the program’s all-time career record holder with 727 assists, was the first player in program history at the NCAA Division I level to record a triple-double during each of his four collegiate seasons. He finished his career with four triple-doubles, setting the program record at the time of his Hall of Fame induction.

During his junior season, Sanders averaged 11.3 points per game and 6.0 rebounds per contest, while shooting 42.8% from the field and 75.6% from the free throw line. He was named the 2011 Big South Player of the Year, becoming the only player in program history to garner the lofty award. He was also named an Associated Press All-America honorable mention selection during the same season.

The native of Sugar Land, Texas, was twice named to the Big South allconference first team (2011 and 2012) and was named to the 2009 Big South All-Freshman team and the Big South All-Decade team (2010-19). At the time of his graduation, he was the only player in Big South history to have four career triple-doubles and at least 1,000 career points (1,235), 800 career rebounds (815), and 700 assists (727).

Following his standout playing career for Liberty, Sanders played seven seasons overseas for six different teams.

BRANT TOLSMA

HEAD COACH CROSS COUNTRY/TRACK & FIELD 1986-2020

The longest-tenured and arguably most successful head coach in Liberty Athletics history, Brant Tolsma enters the Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame after a storied 34-year coaching career (1986-2020).

Tolsma guided his teams to 116 conference titles, including 98 Big South Conference titles, seven MasonDixon Conference titles, six ASUN Conference crowns, three IC4A titles, and two ECAC crowns.

Tolsma led Liberty to eight consecutive Big South men’s Triple Crowns. The Flames swept every men’s cross country, men’s indoor track & field, and men’s outdoor track & field conference title between Fall 2006 and Spring 2014.

Tolsma, a 77-time conference Coach of the Year award winner, coached six NCAA Division I individual national champions, 61 NCAA Division I AllAmericans, nine NCAA Division II AllAmericans, and 13 CoSIDA Academic All-America® honorees.

Sam Chelanga’s national title in the men’s outdoor 5K helped Liberty tie for 12th place in the final men’s team standings at the 2011 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, marking the highest NCAA Division I team finish in Liberty and Big South history.

During his coaching tenure, Tolsma also released a book entitled “The Surrendered Christian Athlete” in 2001. Competitively, he won his age group in the World Double Decathlon Championship in both 2005 and 2010 as well as the Masters National Decathlon Championship in both 1993 and 2003.
