In addition, one of the more memorable victories in Liberty’s program history came against New Mexico State, when the Flames downed the Aggies 49-35 in the CUSA Championship Game to claim the CUSA title.
• Liberty is 24-5 all-time against CUSA opponents (at the time of this meeting) after its 19-8 win over UTEP last Wednesday in El Paso, Texas.
• Jamey Chadwell is 23-9 in his third year at Liberty and owns a 54-15 coaching record dating back to the start of 2020. The Flames are 14-2 at Williams Stadium under Chadwell.
• Liberty is 38-8 at Williams Stadium since joining the FBS in 2018 and 151-57 all-time at the facility. This season, the Flames are 1-1 at home.

• RB Evan Dickens leads Liberty in rushing yards with 344 yards on 65 carries for a 68.8 yards per game average.
• RB Vaughn Blue, who returned from an injury that forced him to miss the Old Dominion game, led the Flames in rushing against UTEP with a career high 17 carries for a career best 75 yards last week. Blue has now carried the ball 24 times for 105 yards (4.4 yards per carry) this season.
Liberty is 12-2 in its last 14 October contests. Beginning in the 2020 season, Liberty has gone 18-3 in its last 20 October games. This season, the Flames started the month 1-0 with their 19-8 victory over UTEP.
The 2023 season marked the debut of Conference USA’s midweek scheduling model.
It continues this October for the third year, with CBS Sports Network carrying 10 CUSA games and ESPN broadcasting eight CUSA games during that timeframe on linear networks, ESPN2 and ESPNU.
Partly due to this agreement, up to nine out of Liberty’s 12 games will air on linear networks this season. The Flames are 26-16 all-time when playing on linear networks, including 11-3 at home, 12-10 away, and 3-3 on neutral fields. Liberty is 2-2 all-time on ESPN, 6-3 on ESPNU, 2-1 on ESPN2, 1-1 on ESPNews, and 12-5 on CBS Sports Network.
Liberty is 12-2 all-time when a team travels more than 1,000 miles to play at Williams Stadium.

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. This initiative limits the size and types of bags that can be brought into the stadium by fans. Only clear tote bags that do not exceed 12”
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.
In today’s world of sports, individual accolades and recognition often take center stage.
But for me, while starting the season on several watch lists was special — like the Outland Trophy, Rimington Trophy, and Lombardi Award — the spotlight isn’t what drives me.
It’s about winning football games and playing together as a brotherhood.
I’ve always been a humble person, and that’s something that’s been instilled in me since I was a kid.
So, while I appreciate being on watch lists and it bringing attention to the past success of our program, the most important thing for me is to do my job to the best of my ability and help us win football games.
It takes a certain personality to do what we do as offensive linemen. We’re disciplined and hardnosed.
The offensive line is a special unit, and we take a lot of pride in working together and being the heartbeat of the team. I’m very blessed to work with the guys in the trenches, and I look forward to every practice and game with them.
More than anything, I just want Liberty to be the best we can be as a program, and I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to help us get there.
As the center, I’m also honored to be a leader of this team, and I look forward to doing my part to push this program to greater heights.
Although the start of the season has not gone as planned, there is still a lot to play for in 2025, and I can’t wait to do it alongside my brothers.
Football is a game that’s won with discipline, and you have to love and care for your teammates to find success on the field.
If you don’t have that connection, it’s not going to work.
And although the win-loss column may not reflect our hard work, I know this year’s locker room is different. We are built to have success despite our backs being against the wall.
I value that camaraderie and brotherhood, and it’s a big reason why I love this sport so much.
Beyond the football field, I appreciate the unique opportunities that come with being a college student-athlete.
I had the privilege of starting the 2025 season as a representative of our football program, along with my brother Brylan Green, at Conference USA Football Media Days in Texas. It was truly an experience I will cherish.
It was awesome to represent the university and interact with other players from around the league. We talked about life off the field, had former collegiate players pour their experiences into us, saw how Conference USA is fighting for us behind the scenes, and learned how this wonderful game can prepare us for the rest of our lives.
This unique opportunity was just another way that football has allowed me to do so much more than I would have been able to do otherwise, and for that, I am very thankful.
I started playing football when I was seven.
I was a baseball player, but I didn’t really want to play fall ball. So, I asked my dad if I could try football, and the rest is history.
I’ve been in love with the game ever since. I didn’t get my first scholarship offer until my sophomore year of high school. I was a little undersized, so I honestly wasn’t sure how far football would take me.
But once I got that first offer, I knew I had a shot. I’ve always been a firm believer that it only takes one opportunity to get to the next level, and I was fortunate enough to find mine.
I committed to Coach Chadwell when he was at Coastal Carolina, so when he got the job at Liberty, I knew it was the right fit for me.
It was a no-brainer. I trusted him and the program he was building here, and I wanted to be a part of it. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
This season, we have a few new faces on the offensive line.
We have D.J. Geth and Harrison Hayes at the guard spots, and with them being new starters, it’s slightly different from last year.
And with some new players, like Trey Bedosky from UAB and Christian Williams from Florida, there are naturally going to be some adjustments as we gel into one unit.
I’ve played with all of them before, so there’s a lot of familiarity. But football is a game of inches, so it’s all about attention to detail and making sure we fine-tune everything to get the best results. The offensive line is a critical position group, and we must be on the same page to maximize our potential.
With Coach Bill Durkin and Coach Adam Hollyfield, we have two incredible coaches who push us every day to be the hardest-working and best-functioning unit on the team.
We know that Coach Chadwell takes great pride in running the football. Liberty was a top-five rushing team in the nation the past two seasons. We understand that in order for that same level of consistency to continue in 2025, it has to start with our unit.
It’s a challenge we gladly accept and take great pride in.
Although I know I am just a redshirt sophomore and hopefully still have a few more years to play this wonderful sport, I am aware the game will end as it does for everyone.
When the day comes for me to hang up my cleats, I look forward to doing something in the outdoors. My undergrad is in business administration, and I’m going to start taking some project management classes soon.
I can’t be inside all day, so I need to do something active and move around.
I love hunting, fishing, and being outdoors, so if I can find something that allows me to do that, it’d be perfect.
I know that whatever happens, I’ll be all right.
And I’m grateful to Liberty for allowing me to be myself and giving me the opportunity to play the sport I love and do it with my brothers.

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.
Liberty captured double-digit CUSA titles for the second year in a row, bringing home 11 CUSA trophies. Softball, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball each swept the CUSA regular-season and tournament crowns, while women’s soccer (regular season), women’s indoor track & field, women’s outdoor track & field, women’s cross country, and men’s cross country won single CUSA championships.
Women’s lacrosse and women’s swimming & diving both claimed Atlantic Sun crowns, bringing the Flames’ yearly total to 13 total conference championships.
The Flames continued their string of success at the FBS level, recording their sixth consecutive bowl game appearance (Bahamas Bowl) and their sixth straight season with eight or more victories. Liberty topped East Carolina for its first win over an American Athletic Conference foe.
One of Liberty’s two All-CUSA performers, Madison Blane, was invited to try out for the U.S. Women’s National Volleyball Team in February.
Michael Huss was selected Ohio Valley Conference Forward of the Year after pacing the conference and ranking No. 12 nationally with 0.69 goals per game (11 total).
The Lady Flames made program history with their first-ever victory over a Top 25 opponent (2-1 at No. 21 Virginia Tech on Sept. 5) and their first Top 25 ranking (No. 24 on Sept. 10) during a 9-0-2 start to the season. Liberty went on to earn a share of its first CUSA regular-season championship.
Liberty finished the year with a No. 18 national ranking following its seventh consecutive winning season. The Lady Flames’ 10 victories were headlined by a 1-0 home triumph over No. 4 Duke on Sept. 15.
Liberty swept the CUSA titles in women’s cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field for its first women’s Triple Crown since 2016-17 (Big South Conference) and the first by a CUSA women’s squad since 2007-08 (Rice). The Lady Flames’ fifth-place finish at the NCAA Division I Southeast Regional Championships matched the program’s best-ever regional placement for women’s cross country. Meanwhile, the men’s cross country squad claimed its first conference title in 11 years. Individually, Liberty was represented at the NCAA national meet in cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field with Meredith Engle (pentathlon) and Paola Bueno (women’s hammer), each earning second team All-America honors.
The Flames swept the CUSA regular-season and tournament titles for the first time. Liberty’s 28 wins (the program’s most since 2019-20) included victories over Kansas State and McNeese to capture the Paradise Jam trophy.
BASKETBALL (26-7, 16-2 CUSA)
Liberty captured the CUSA regular-season and tournament championships en route to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2018. The Lady Flames’ win over Arkansas on Dec. 18 marked their first SEC triumph since 1998.
The Lady Flames recorded a dominating victory (168.5 points) for their second consecutive Atlantic Sun championship and their seventh straight conference title overall. ASUN Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet Kamryn Cannings was one of two Lady Flames (also freshman Aly Bozzuto) to swim at the NCAA Division I Championships.
Liberty reached the CUSA title match and finished with a No. 4 listing in the ITA Atlantic Region rankings. The doubles pair of Joaquim Almeida and Siwanat Auytayakul recorded the program’s inaugural triumph at the NCAA Tennis Individual Championships.
The Lady Flames made it to the CUSA title match for the second year in a row, and Yu-Yun Chen became the team’s first CUSA Freshman of the Year.
The host Lady Flames topped Coastal Carolina in the Atlantic Sun Women’s Lacrosse Championship title game for their first-ever conference title and first NCAA Tournament berth. No. 20 Richmond (14-13 on Feb. 22) became the highest-ranked opponent Liberty has ever defeated.
Ike Joy was selected to compete as an individual at the NCAA Amherst Regional, which the Flames hosted for the first time at Poplar Grove Golf Club in Amherst, Va. Joy’s selection extended Liberty’s streak of participation in the NCAA Regionals, as the program has had an individual or its team participate in an NCAA Men’s Golf Regional each year since 2009.
Liberty’s 30 wins, its most since 2022, included seven triumphs over ACC opponents. Sophomore Ben Blair paced the Flames on the mound, earning first team AllCUSA accolades and a spot on the National Pitcher of the Year Watch List.
The Lady Flames competed in the NCAA Super Regional round for the first time ever after taking two of three games against No. 1 Texas A&M to win the NCAA Bryan-College Station Regional. Liberty also swept the CUSA regular-season and tournament championships for the second year in a row on its way to setting program records for highest year-end national ranking (No. 15) and victories (50).

Mike Brown finished his four-year career at Liberty as one of the program’s most versatile players, earning All-America honors at both wide receiver and quarterback.=
The native of Charlottesville, Va., came to the Mountain as a wide receiver, finishing his first two seasons with 79 receptions for 1,029 yards and three touchdowns. He was named to the CSN Fabulous FCS All-America firstteam listing in 2009 and was selected as the Big South Player of the Year.
Brown made the move to under center in 2010, where he continued to flourish during his final two seasons. During the 2010 season, Brown threw for 2,956 yards and 23 touchdowns, repeating as Big South Player of the Year and earning CSN Sweet 63 AllAmerica first-team honors as Liberty’s signal caller. As a junior, he set a then-program record with 3,810 total offensive yards.
Brown was twice named to the Walter Payton Award watchlist and was a top20 finalist for the national FCS Player of the Year award in 2010 and 2011. Brown helped lead the Flames to three straight Big South Conference titles (2008, 2009, and 2010).
Following his standout playing career at Liberty, Brown signed as a free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he played for three seasons (2012-14). He has continued to thrive in college football, working as an assistant coach at Michigan (2016), Delaware (2017), Liberty (2018), Cincinnati (2019-22), Wisconsin (2023), and Notre Dame (2024).

At the time of her Hall of Fame induction, Cardie still holds the program record in the 200-meter butterfly, while ranking third in program history in the 500-meter freestyle and 100-meter butterfly.
Cardie competed well on the national stage during her standout collegiate career, scoring three times at USA Swimming National meets. She placed fifth in the 200-meter butterfly at the 2018 USA Swimming Winter Nationals. In 2016, she competed in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials.
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 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 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 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.
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.
