Perhaps the biggest hurdle to overcome in finding the many replace- ments will be the relative youth of this year’s team, which if possible, is even younger than 2005 when 70 players who entered August camp were freshmen or sophomores.That number is over 70 in 2006, while there are only 14 seniors on the roster. Further, only six of those seniors – Will Bleakley, S.J. Green, Pat Julmiste, Stephen Nicholas,Tavarious Robinson and Patrick St. Louis - have been with USF their entire career. Two of the seniors – James Jackson and Devin Gordon – are in their first season with USF, while the remaining six – Ryan Bourdeau, Jeremy Burnett, Darren Haliburton, Ean Randolph,Walt Smith and Thed Watson – have a combined seven years of play at USF. Additionally,Watson is the only one of the five who has started at USF. “You think we were young last year? We’re much younger this year,” Leavitt told the St. Petersburg Times following the spring season.“We’ve never had such a small senior class, ever. Leadership? Look at the leaders we lost.We’re not right at the stage where we can be a juggernaut every year, but we’re trying. It will be real interesting to watch this team this summer.

After just one season with Iowa, Leavitt was named to Bill Snyder’s staff at Kansas State in 1990, H when that program had just been tabbed the “worst in America” by Sports Illustrated. Snyder, who was a E coaching disciple of Iowa’s Fry, was in his second season at K-State, when he asked Leavitt to coach the linebackers. S The following year, Leavitt was promoted to co- defensive coordinator and he was instrumental in building a defense that joined Snyder’s offense in a quick and effective turnaround that had Sports Illustrated calling K-State the most improved team in the nation by 1993.And now, Kansas State has assumed a regular spot in the nation’s top 10. In Leavitt’s five years at Kansas State, the Wildcats were 44-23-1 compared to 22-86-1 in the 1980s. In his final three seasons, Kansas State joined Florida, Florida State, Nebraska and Penn State as the only teams in the nation with three consecutive nine-win seasons. During those three years, Kansas State was 27-8-1. And perhaps most impressively, Leavitt and Bob Stoops designed a defense that went from 93rd in the nation in 1990 to number one in their final sea- son of 1995. The common denominator for success at each of Leavitt’s stops has been an unyielding commit- ment to old-fashioned hard work. “Nobody but nobody is going to match his work ethic and his energy,” Leavitt’s baseball coach at Missouri once said of him. While that ethic has followed Leavitt every-

Jones and McGowan each won the Butkus Award, and Jones added the Lombardi Award. Prior to joining USF,Burnham was the assistant head coach and defensive T coordinator at South Carolina between 1994-98. Upon arriving at South Carolina, literally just days after Florida State’s 1993 National Championship H win, Burnham instituted a new 4-3 scheme for the Gamecocks, and he quickly molded what became to be considered the most improved defense in the SEC.

* USF did not play games in 1996 Highly energetic and dedicated to helping young players improve their skills with each passing day, Greg Frey has been on the USF staff from the inception of the program in 1996, when he came aboard as a graduate assistant. He took full time status in 1999 as the defensive ends coach and assumed his current role with the offensive linemen in 2000. Frey has quickly gained a reputation for molding young offensive linemen into outstanding players both as individuals and more importantly as a unit. It began with Kenyatta Jones, an offensive tackle who became USF’s first-ever player to be drafted into the NFL when the selected him in the fourth round of the 2001 draft. Between 2001 and 2002, after Jones and four-year starter Joey Sipp concluded their USF career, Frey worked almost exclusively with freshmen and sophomore starters and yet his charges always performed well beyond their collective experi- ence while protecting quarterback Marquel Blackwell, who set every USF career passing record over the last four years. In 2002, USF quarterbacks were sacked just 19 times despite a starting line comprised entirely of freshmen and sophomores. In 2001, USF quarterbacks were sacked just 16 times. In 2004, Frey had the luxury of a complete starting unit that returned intact for a second straight season, including seniors Alex Herron (center), Levi Newton (right tackle) and Derrick Sarosi (left tackle). Newton signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts, and despite the fact that he, Herron and Sarosi have all departed, Frey has continued to develop outstanding talent including Frank Davis, the most recent USF lineman to sign an NFL contract (Detroit). A former standout offensive lineman at and Clearwater High School in Pinellas County, Frey has been a perfect fit on the USF staff. “Greg Frey has displayed the devotion and passion we look for in the South Florida football program,”head coach Jim Leavitt said upon announcing his orig- inal promotion in 1999. “He has been a very capable member on our staff from the beginning, and we are pleased to have an opportunity to promote him.” In his graduate assistant role at USF from 1996-98, Frey worked mostly with the offensive line, but he also played an instrumental part in breaking down oppo- nent film and working with the USF scout teams in preparing the Bulls for each opponent. When he took over the defensive ends, he played a critical role in the early development of the Shawn Hay, who was USF’s all-time sack leader when he graduated in 2000. A 1992 graduate of Clearwater High, and a 1996 graduate of Florida State,Frey was an offensive tackle on the Seminoles’ 1993 National Championship team. In 1990, Super Prep Magazine rated him the top offensive lineman in the country while he was at Clearwater High, and he went on to earn Parade All-America sta- tus. Frey was born December 4, 1972.

He first worked with receivers in 1982 and 1983 and then assumed command of the tight ends in 1984, while he also worked that one season as the head coach of the junior varsity team. In 1985 he began the first of two seasons as the running backs coach before spending the 1987 season coaching the quarterbacks. It was in 1989 that Gregory became offensive coordinator and in 1991 he added associate head coach to his duties at Army. While at Army, he helped lead the program to its only four Bowl Games in the Academy’s history and the Cadets won 10 of 16 games against arch-rival Navy.The Cadets also led the nation in rushing four separate times during Gregory’s tenure. He coached Ron McAda, the only Army quarterback ever drafted into the NFL and running back Mike Mayweather, who rushed for more than 4,000 career yards. From 1982-85, while coaching at Army, Gregory was also a commissioned officer in the United States Army with a rank of captain. Gregory began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Virginia in 1980, two years prior to starting his long stint with Army.

In his first four years, Smith was pass game coordi- 2005 USF Offensive Coordinator/QBs nator and quarterbacks coach. Smith, who had worked with up-tempo offenses at West Virginia and Clemson, helped install a no-huddle, spread offense at USF when he arrived in 2001.The task at hand for Smith is to help develop a consis- C tent starting quarterback to run the offense. Smith and staff had the very good fortune to work with Marquel Blackwell, O who had a brilliant career at quarterback for the Bulls from 1999-2002. Although the transition from Blackwell to a consistent replacement has been A an ongoing process, the proficiency of the USF offense is a proven commodity. In the 22 games during Smith’s first two seasons at USF,the offense put up 5,777 passing yards, including the top two single season passing numbers in the C program’s seven years of football. Nationally, the Bulls ranked 22nd (2002) and 32nd (2003) in passing. Efficiency has also been a trademark of the passing H game.The Bulls threw just five interceptions in 2002, only three of which came from Blackwell among his 403 pass attempts. In fact, Blackwell ranked number one in the nation in percentage, and the Bulls ranked first national- E ly in turnover margin, largely due to so few offensive turnovers. Also a trademark for the USF offense is the broad array of choices in the S four and five-receiver sets. In 2002, seven different players had at least 15 recep- tions, and a total of 19 players were on the receiving end of passes for the Bulls. Even in 2004, when passing production fell – in part due to the emergence of running back Andre Hall – 15 different players took part in the receiving game. That number grew by one to 16 in 2005, and Hall led the team in receiving, displaying Smith’s effectiveness in developing pass plays to the backfield. Immediately prior to joining USF in 2001, Smith had accepted the quarter- back coach position at West Virginia following his one-year stay on the Clemson staff in 2000. But even before settling in at West Virginia, Smith opted to accept a role with USF. Smith’s coaching career began in 1998, when he was the quarterback coach for Urbana (Ohio) University, where he helped with an offense that broke every school passing and total offense record. Over the course of his still brief coaching career, even before joining USF, Smith had coached 20 all-conference players and two All-Americans. He coached an all-conference quarterback in five straight seasons, and ESPN.com named Blackwell the Independent Player of the Year in 2002. A 1997 graduate of Glenville State with a degree in physical education, Smith was the offensive coordinator for Franklin (W.V.) High School between his college graduation and joining Urbana. During his tenure at Franklin, the team went from 3-7 to 7-3. A quarterback himself at Glenville State, Smith earned All-America in 1996, when he was a team captain for the school’s fourth straight conference champi- onship team. His teams reached the national championship playoffs twice, including one runner-up finish. Smith also has a master’s degree in classroom teaching from Urbana University in 2000.

USF 0-1, PENN STATE 1-0 Down 17-0 at Penn State just 21 seconds into the second quarter, the USF football team fought back in front of 99,235 fans, but didn’t have enough offensively and eventually fell 23-13 in the 2005 season opener for both teams. It was also USF’s debut as a member of the BIG EAST Conference. USF’s defense showed plenty of promise, holding Penn State to a field goal after Justin King broke a reverse for 61 yards midway through the first quarter. But on the very next series, USF quarterback Courtney Denson, making his first career ®SCORING BY QUARTERS start, fumbled on a scramble and Penn State’s Alan Zemaitas scooped up the loose ball on the bounce and ran in from 16 yards to put the Nittany Lions ahead 10-0 with 4:05 in the first quarter. 1234F Pat Julmiste replaced Denson on the Bulls’ next series and although he would go on to have a solid outing, his first series USF070613ended with a deflected interception at the Bulls’ 13-yard line and Penn State made it 17-0 four plays later on a one-yard Penn State 10 7 0 6 23 run from Tony Hunt.

82 USF 45, NO. 9/8 LOUISVILLE 14 RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM • TAMPA, FLA. SEPTEMBER 24, 2005 • 8 P.M. USF 3-1 (1-0), LOUISVILLE 2-1 (0-1) Receiver Amarri Jackson ran for two touchdowns and threw for a third to lead USF to the biggest victory in the school's brief football history, a 45-14 rout of No. 9 Louisville in the Bulls' BIG EAST debut. After barely playing a role in the offense in his team's first three games, Jackson was Mr.Versatile in helping USF beat a ranked opponent for the first time in six tries and stop the nation's third-longest Division I-A winning streak at nine games. Louisville had not lost since a 41-38 setback at Miami Oct. 14, 2004.The Cardinals entered the conference opener with ® one of the country's most prolific offenses, but never fully got on track in losing to USF on the road for the second time SCORING BY QUARTERS in three years. 1234F USF,which is in its ninth season, also upset Louisville two years ago in the Bulls' Conference USA debut.The Bulls and USF 7 17 14 7 45 Cardinals left C-USA for the higher profile BIG EAST after last season. Jackson, who had two receptions for 15 yards in USF’s first three games, set up Andre Hall's one-yard, first-quarter TD Louisville 0 7 0 7 14 run with a 57-yard catch-and-run on the Bulls' second offensive play. The six-foot-five receiver scored on a 51-yard reverse up the right side of the field to make it 14-0, then circled left end Attendance: 33,586 Time: 3:36 on a 12-yard reverse for a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter. Three minutes after USF’s Chad Simpson returned the second-half kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown, Jackson struck again when took a handoff from quarterback Pat Julmiste and tossed an 11-yard scoring pass to Derek Carter to put the First Quarter Bulls ahead 38-7. USF - Hall one-yard run (Bronson kick). Time left: Jackson finished with 63 yards rushing on two carries and two receptions for 75 yards. Hall, who added a 3-yard TD run in the fourth quarter, gained 83 rushing on 22 attempts, while Julmiste was 4-for-9 for 93 yards passing. 9:37. Drive: 3 plays, 69 yards, 0:45. (USF 7, Louisville 0).

USF 3-2, MIAMI 3-1 Tyrone Moss matched a career-high with three touchdowns and No. 9 Miami ended USF's hopes of springing a second straight upset with a sloppy 27-7 win. Moss ran for 89 yards and had scoring runs of one and 19 yards in the first quarter, when Miami took advantage of three USF turnovers to build an early 17-0 lead. Miami scored on four of its first five possessions, then didn't add to the total until Moss' one-yard, fourth-down plunge ® with 8:25 left. USF avoided the shutout - which would have been the first in its 93-game history - with 5:56 left, when SCORING BY QUARTERS Johnny Peyton caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from Pat Julmiste . 1 234F The teams combined for nine turnovers, with USF having all five of its giveaways before halftime. USF00077 The Bulls finished with 174 total yards, more than half of them in the fourth quarter with the outcome long decided.

84 PITTSBURGH 31, USF 17 HEINZ FIELD • PITTSBURGH, PA. OCTOBER 15 • 2 P.M. USF 3-3 (1-1), PITTSBURGH 3-4 (2-1) For the second-straight contest early turnovers proved to be too much for the USF football team to overcome, this time resulting in a 31-17 loss at Pittsburgh in league action on the road. Pitt, winning consecutive games for the first time under Dave Wannstedt, fell behind 10-0 in the first quarter following a blocked punt and a fumble by Tyler Palko, only to surge back with three touchdowns in a six-minute span in the second quarter. ® Palko, who threw for 411 yards and five touchdowns in a 43-14 win over USF in Tampa last season, found Greg Lee on SCORING BY QUARTERS a 69-yard scoring pass play on the opening play of the second quarter, then hit Lee again for 41 yards to the Bulls' three 1234F following a Darrelle Revis fumble recovery. Palko then threw a three-yard scoring pass to fullback Tim Murphy to make it USF 10 7 0 0 17 14-10. Another USF fumble, this one by quarterback Pat Julmiste, was recovered by J.J. Horne and returned eight yards to the Pittsburgh 0 21 10 0 31 Bulls 12, and Palko later ran it in from a yard out to put the Panthers up 21-10 with nearly nine minutes left in the second quarter. Attendance: 33,497 Time: 3:11 USF got back to 21-17 on a Jumiste-to-Andre Hall scoring pass play of 76 yards, but another fumble by a Bulls quar- terback, this time by backup Courtney Denson, was returned by Bernard "Josh" Lay to the Bulls eight. Palko then found tight end Darrell Strong on an eight-yard TD pass late in the third quarter. First Quarter Hall, the BIG EAST's leading rusher coming into the game with 519 yards in five games, had a combined 210 yards with USF - Julmiste one-yard run (Vronson kick).Time left: 19 carries for 79 yards and a game-high 131 yards on seven receptions. But his big game couldn't prevent USF's second loss in a row since the Bulls upset then-No. 9 Louisville 45-14 on Sept. 24. 8:49. Drive: 2 plays, 4 yards, 0:37. (USF 7, Pitt 0). Freshman LaRod Stephens-Howling led Pitt with 91 yards on 14 carries, with most of his yardage coming in the sec- ond half as the Panthers mostly kept the ball on the ground to preserve their lead. USF - Bronson 36-yard field goal. Time left: 6:06. The game was USF's first in Pittsburgh since Sept. 8, 2001, when a neophyte Bulls program scored its first victory over an established Division I-A team by surprising Pitt 35-26, one of the biggest upset losses in Pitt history.

86 USF 27, SYRACUSE 0 CARRIER DOME • SYRACUSE, N.Y. NOVEMBER 12, 2005 • 1:30 P.M. USF 5-3 (3-1), SYRACUSE 1-8 (0-6) Running back Andre Hall rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns, and USF beat Syracuse 27-0 to remain in the hunt for a BCS bowl bid. It was the seventh straight loss for Syracuse. The first play of the game from scrimmage set the tone for the day. Hall, who had 24 carries, weaved his way up the middle of the Syracuse defense for 38 yards, breaking two tackles and causing two more defenders to miss. The Orange defense then stiffened, and Kyle Bronson kicked a 29-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. ® Joe Fields, making his second straight start at quarterback for Syracuse, was intercepted on his first pass of the game by SCORING BY QUARTERS Johnnie Jones near midfield, and the Bulls quickly struck again. 1234F Pat Julmiste rolled right on the next play and hit Marcus Edwards in stride and between two defenders for 48 yards to USF 10 3 7 7 27 set up Hall's four-yard scoring run, which gave the Bulls a 10-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Syracuse, who came into the game ranked 114th in total offense out of the 117 teams in Division I-A, punted four times Syracuse 0 0 0 0 0 and threw two interceptions on its first six possessions, gaining just one first down in the opening quarter. The Orange seemed poised to break through in the second after a punt and two penalties pinned the Bulls at their own Attendance: 40,144 Time: 3:15 seven.That all changed when Hall broke a 34-yard run on a second-and-24 play and tacked on runs of 22 and 10 yards to help set up Bronson's 22-yard field goal, giving USF a 13-0 halftime lead. Hall reeled off a 38-yard run early in the third period to become USF's all-time leading rusher, surpassing Rafael First Quarter Williams' five-year-old record of 2,253 yards. Hall, a junior college transfer, has 2,345 yards in his brief career. USF - Bronson 29-yard field goal. Time left: 9:54. Hall scored on a 33-yard run midway through the third. It was his 13th touchdown of the season, a school record, and he added another on a one-yard run with 4:22 remaining in the game to cap an 11-play, 80-yard drive. Drive: 10 plays, 68 yards, 5:06.

87 USF 31, CINCINNATI 16 RAYMOND JAMES STADIUM • TAMPA, FLA. NOVEMBER 19, 2005 • NOON USF 6-3 (4-1) CINCINNATI 4-6 (2-4) Surprising USF remained in contention for a BCS bowl berth pulling away in the second half to beat Cincinnati 31-16 for the Bulls' third straight BIG EAST win. Conference rushing leader Andre Hall went over 1,000 yards for the season and scored his 15th touchdown, and USF forced two

 third-quarter turnovers to transform a close game into a rout. In addition to becoming bowl eligible with its sixth victory, USF stayed on course for a possible showdown with No. 13 West Virginia for the BIG EAST's automatic spot in the lucrative Bowl Championship Series. ®SCORING BY QUARTERS D'Juan Brown returned an interception 26 yards for a TD that made it 17-7 midway through the third quarter. Four minutes later, Cincinnati quarterback Dustin Grutza fumbled at his own 22 to leave the Bulls in position to take a commanding lead. 1 234F Receiver Amarri Jackson, the star of the 45-14 upset of Louisville that opened BCS possibilities for the Bulls in September, scored USF 3 7 14 7 31 on the next play after mishandling a handoff on a reverse. Cincinnati 0 7 0 9 16 Jackson picked up the ball on the bounce and headed around right end before cutting back to the left and weaving his way through the Cincinnati defense for his third rushing TD of the season. The 6-foot-5 sophomore ran for two touchdowns and threw for a third in USF's defeat of then-No. 9 Louisville. Attendance: 27,204 Time: 3:45 A week after rushing for 222 yards and three TDs in a 27-0 shutout at Syracuse, Hall ran for 101 on 29 carries against Cincinnati.

88 CONNECTICUT 15, USF 10 RENTSCHLER FIELD • EAST HARTFORD, CONN. NOVEMBER 26, 2005 • 3:30 P.M. USF 6-4 (4-2), CONNECTICUT 5-5 (2-4) The USF football team lost its chance to play for a BIG EAST Conference title following the team's 15-10 league setback at Connecticut. UConn's Lou Allen rushed for a career-high 101 yards and a touchdown, Darius Butler returned a kickoff 90 yards for a score and the Huskies' defense did the rest.The Huskies scored all its points in the first half then held the Bulls' vaunted rushing attack to 83 yards. The Bulls were averaging 229.8 yards rushing a game, the second-best in the league, and needed a win to force a title game with West Virginia the following week in Tampa. ®SCORING BY QUARTERS The Huskies held Andre Hall, the league's rushing leader, to 93 yards, forcing the Bulls to find other options. Instead, the Bulls fum- bled the ball away twice, quarterback Pat Julmiste was picked off three times and an apparent 75-yard TD reception to Jackie Chambers 1234F was nullified by a penalty. Connecticut scored on its third play from scrimmage when Allen broke free up the middle for a 60-yard score. It was the longest run USF073010of the season for the Huskies. UConn's defense, which held USF to just 50 yards rushing in the first half, set up the next score. UConn 9 6 0 0 15 James Hargrave sacked Julmiste for a 13-yard loss, pushing the Bulls back to their own five. Julmiste fielded a high snap on the next play and came down in the end zone for a safety and 9-0 lead. The Huskies held Hall to 61 yards in the first half. Most of that came on a 36-yard rush that helped set up the Bulls' only touchdown. Attendance: 40,000 Time: 3:23 Julmiste capped an 11-play drive with a 31-yard TD pass to S.J. Green and UConn's lead was cut to 9-7. UConn answered right back. Butler returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and the Huskies held on for a 15-7 lead at the half. First Quarter USF threatened midway through the fourth quarter when Amarri Jackson returned a punt 37 yards to the UConn nine. But after a UConn - Allen 60-yard run (Nuzie kick). Time left: sack, a false start and a batted-down pass, the Bulls' had a fourth-and-seven on the six and opted to go for it.The Huskies sniffed out a throwback to Julmiste and tackled Courtney Denson for a 13-yard loss. 13:33. Drive: 3 plays, 69 yards, 1:27. (UConn 7, USF 0). UConn had to punt on their next possession and the Bulls' took over on the Huskies’ 44 with under three minutes to play. UConn killed the drive on the very next play when Tyvon Branch intercepted Julmiste in the end zone. Julmiste completed 10 of 26 passes for 168 yards. UConn's Matt Bonislawski was 8-of-26 for 81 yards, but it was his 16-yard run for UConn - McFee safety.Time left: 4:01.

90 NORTH CAROLINA STATE 14, USF 0 BANK OF AMERICA STADIUM, CHARLOTTE, N.C. DECEMBER 31, 2005 • 11 A.M. USF 6-6, NORTH CAROLINA STATE 7-5 Using stout defense and just enough offense to get the job done, North Carolina State capped its late-season rally with a 14-0 win over USF in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. Brian Clark caught a nine-yard touchdown pass and Andre Brown scored on a 1-yard run to lead the Wolfpack, who rallied from a 2-4 start to the season to close the year with three consecutive wins. It was a tough end for USF,which was playing in its first bowl in school history.The Bulls launched their program nine ® years ago, moved up to Division I-A in 2001 and capped their first season in the BIG EAST with a bowl bid. SCORING BY QUARTERS But their 100th game ended in the first shutout in school history as the Bulls managed 295 yards total offense and failed 1234F to get Andre Hall -- the BIG EAST's leading rusher -- into the end zone. Hall accounted for most of the offense, finishing USF00000 with 118 yards rushing and two catches for 49 yards. Toney Baker set up the first score with runs of 22 and 14 yards, allowing Marcus Stone to find Clark in the end zone. N.C. State 0 14 0 0 14 The Wolfpack actually ran the same play twice, with Clark making the first catch out of bounds before grabbing it the sec- ond time for the score. Attendance: 57,937 Time: 3:13 Baker used several short runs to set up the second score, then gave way to Brown for the touchdown. Baker finished with 93 yards rushing on 22 carries, while Brown had 51 yards on 12 carries. USF spent the entire game just trying to get into the end zone, and had a great chance when Hall broke free for a 41- Second Quarter yard gain to put the Bulls in decent scoring range at the N.C. State 17. N.C. State - B. Clark nine-yard pass from M. Stone But a run by Ricky Ponton, followed by two incompletions ended the threat when Garland Heath intercepted Pat Julmiste in the end zone. (Deraney kick).Time left: 8:13. Drive: 9 plays, 67 yards, USF got a break, however, when the Wolfpack fumbled it back to the Bulls on the next possession - only to see Hill give 3:35. (N.C. State 7, USF 0). it away again on the very next play. In the end, only two things worked for the Bulls: Putting the ball in Hall's hands, and a fake punt late in the fourth quar- ter that went for a 31-yard gain when holder Brandon Baker connected with S.J. Green. But that never led to a score as N.C. State - A. Brown one-yard run (Deraney kick). USF gained only one yard on four tries. Time left: 0:17. Drive: 12 plays, 75 yards, 4:39. (N.C.

Bill Gramatica Drafted 4th Round, 2001-2003 New York Giants Free Agent, 2004 But Washington wasn’t done with the study in USF success. He quickly DeJuan Green Oakland Raiders Free Agent, 2004, 2006 stepped back to the podium and announced,“with the second pick of the Andre Hall Tampa Bay Buccaneers Free Agent, 2006 Jimmy Fitts New York Giants Free Agent, 2002 fourth round, the Cleveland Browns select defensive back Anthony Henry, Shawn Hay Free Agent, 2001 also from the University of South Florida.” Anthony Henry Cleveland Browns Drafted 4th Round, 2001-2004 Soon after Henry’s selection, even Washington was wondering about this Dallas Cowboys Free Agent, 2005-Present Elgin Hicks Indianapolis Colts Free Agent, 2004 South Florida program.When he took to the podium to announce the Kenyatta Jones New England Patriots Drafted 4th Round, 2001-2003 third pick of the fourth round, he seemed almost mystified when he Washington Redskins Free Agent, 2003-2004 announced,“this must be some kind of record... Maurice Jones Green Bay Packers Free Agent, 2004 R Scott McCready New England Patriots Free Agent, 2001 “With the third pick of the fourth round, the Arizona Cardinals select Free Agent, 2004 placekicker Bill Gramatica, from the University of South Florida.” Dyral McMillan San Francisco 49ers Free Agent, 2000 E Kawika Mitchell Kansas City Chiefs Drafted 2nd Round, 2003-Present One, two, three...an official run on USF Bulls in the NFL Draft.

J.R. Reed Philadelphia Eagles Drafted 4th Round, 2004 O “I’m going crazy,” Leavitt admitted seconds after Gramatica was selected. DeAndrew Rubin Green Bay Packers Drafted 7th Round, 2003 “I just can’t stand it. I’m so excited. I’m so excited.” Tampa Bay Buccaneers Free Agent, 2005 Hugh Smith Free Agent, 2003 R For Leavitt, his staff and the players who have come through his program Cleveland Browns Free Agent, 2004 since 1996, the excitement of the NFL Draft and ensuing free agent sign- Maurice Tucker Free Agent, 2003 D ings continues to show how quickly USF football has climbed into BCS New Orleans Saints Free Agent, 2003 Tony Umholtz Free Agent, 2000 status, New York Giants Free Agent, 2001 S Perhaps Shawn Hay, an original member of the program and one of just New England Patriots Free Agent, 2002 Huey Whittaker Free Agent, 2004 three Bulls to play in each of the 44 games through the program’s first four Tampa Bay Buccaneers Free Agent, 2005 years sums up the progress best.

H “Just think, (in 1997) we were nervous to be playing against Kentucky Wesleyan (in the program’s first-ever game). Now we’re at this point. It’s I mind boggling.” In 2003, minds had more to digest as three more USF players ñ Kawika S Mitchell (Kansas City Chiefs), Shurron Pierson (Oakland Raiders) and DeAndrew Rubin (Green Bay Packers) - were drafted. Mitchell, a line- backer, was taken in the second round, making him the highest-ever draft T choice from USF.
