First-year coach Ernie McCook's team has relied heavily on freshman signal caller Tyson Bagent who has passed for 2,784 yards and 28 touchdowns in his first collegiate campaign. The Rams also have one of the league's top linebackers in sophomore Ponce DeLeon. The 5-foot-10, 180-pounder has tallied five interceptions, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and six tackles for loss to go with his 53 tackles this season. In the backfield, Shepherd has seen Antwan Squire and Zyan Sturdivant split carries. Squire has gained 485 yards while averaging 5.7 yards a carry on 85 attempts while Sturdivant has posted 405 yards on 4.7 yards an attempt, both players have scored four rushing touchdowns. UVa-Wise's defense has been among the best in the MEC and in NCAA Division II this fall. Entering Saturday, teams are passing for just 210.9 yards per game against the unit. Defensive coordinator Shap Boyd's crew has also tallied seven interceptions, 22 sacks and recovered seven fumbles in the first nine games. Turnover margin has plagued UVa-Wise, the Cavs have turned the ball over 29 times this season and are a league worst -15 in turnover margin. Most recently, UVa-Wise forced a pair of turnovers against Notre Dame College but turned the ball over five times. A win at Shepherd would give UVa-Wise its first win in six tries against the Rams while allowing the program to post three consecutive seasons of at least four wins for the first time since 2007-09 when the school was a member of the NAIA.

    This Catalog may be revised periodically and printed copies may not be up to date. Please view the online Catalog at https://www.uvawise.edu/academics/academic-affairs/college-catalog/ for the latest version. About the College The University of Virginia’s College at Wise, formerly Clinch Valley College of the University of Virginia, is the only four-year, state-supported college in far southwestern Virginia and is a division of the University of Virginia. Situated on 396 acres in Wise County, UVa-Wise is an incredible example of the determination and perseverance of southwestern Virginia citizens. Before the College was created, there were no public colleges in Virginia west of Radford. Higher education was simply out of reach for most residents of Virginia’s Appalachian Mountains. When local residents Fred B. Greear, William A. Thompson, Kenneth P. Asbury, affectionately known as the “Three Wise Men,” and others made their case to University of Virginia President Colgate Darden for establishing a college in Wise, the Commonwealth of Virginia supported the cause by offering $5,000 to open, staff, and operate the two-year school for the fi rst year. Local supporters donated over $6,000 to furnish and equip the classrooms. Wise County donated property and two sandstone buildings, remnants of the county poor farm, to house the fi rst classes. All of these events happened in the winter of 1954. In September of that same year, Clinch Valley College opened its doors to 100 freshmen. Many of the fi rst classes of graduates went on to the University and other senior institutions and became some of the region’s most successful professionals.
