Mailing Address: Grambling State University Office of Sports Information Campus Box 4242 Grambling, LA 71245 Office: 318/274-6562 Fax: 318/274-2761 E-Mail: [email protected]

2010 GSU Tigers Football 4 www.gsutigers.com MEDIA CREDENTIALS Working press and photographer credentials for GSU’s home games will be handled by GSU Assistant Sports Information Director Roderick Mosley.

All credentials requests should be made in writing by sports editors or sports directors of accredited media outlets on company letterhead. All requests should be made as early as possible and should be limited to working press only. Requests made within seven days of the game may not be considered.

The credential authorizes the use by an accredited organization for news coverage of the game for which it was issued. Any unauthorized use of credentials subjects the bearer to ejection from the stadium and subjects the accredited organization to revocation of its credentials for future GSU athletic events.

The following policies have been adopted by Grambling State University for credentials and allowing access to practices and interviews for internet sites:

Only GSU’s site and the official web site of the opponent will be issued passes for those events that require credentials. Other than official sites of those two entities, the following guidelines must be met for minimum consideration:

The agency requesting credentials is the official online service of a national over-the-air or cable network or established publication and is staffed by full-time employees (ESPN, CNN/SI, CBS Sportsline, etc.).

Web sites that sponsor “message boards,” “message centers,” or “chat rooms” where people are allowed to post anonymous information and rumors are automatically ineligible for consideration for credentials. If a medium has an online site and they sponsor these anonymous forums, they may continue to request credentials under its traditional medium (newspaper, magazine, radio, and television).

Any online service that places an emphasis on the recruitment of potential student-athletes will not qualify for credentials. This is defined by an organization that is recognized as an outlet intended primarily for the purpose of recruiting news where 50 percent or more of the information relates to this kind of information.

Credentials will not be granted to any online agency operating sites that are in any way affiliated with gambling, or to “freelance” or ‘fan-based” sites that are not affiliated with legitimate news gathering organizations.

Due to space and facility restrictions, seat assignments on press row as well as sideline photography will be made on a space available basis.

UNAUTHORIZED USE OF MEDIA CREDENTIAL Media credentials are not transferable and use by anyone other than members of the working media is unauthorized. Press credentials used in an unauthorized manner will be revoked immediately. News organizations allowing unauthorized individuals to use credentials will have their credentials revoked for the remainder of the year.

All media credentials remain the property of the GSU Athletics Department and must be returned upon request.

2010 GSU Tigers Football 9 www.gsutigers.com CITY OF GRAMBLING So there is a city named Grambling?

This is the typical response a Gramblinite gets after answering the question “Where is Grambling State University located?”

The town of Grambling, historic in its own right, is dwarfed in recognition by the world renowned school that bears it name.

And while many are surprised to learn that a town called Grambling does exist and comprises an African-American constituency that has lived independently for more than a century, this small, rural north central Louisiana community is an American success story created by the best& worst circumstances in U.S. History. With not many other places to go newly-freed African-American captives settled here in their quest for jobs and the American dream. Beginning around the late 1800’s they worked to realize that dream by purchasing land and becoming adept farmers.

The fastest growing municipality in Lincoln Parish, Grambling has a population of more than 5,000. Among the many distinguished are Paul “Tank” Younger, the first black NFL player, legendary coach Eddie Robinson, and the late Conrad Hutchinson, Jr. an American icon in collegiate band competition who have all proudly called it “home’’.

The community, however, extends beyond the limits of the incorporated city. Grambling’s growth and spiritual vitality through the years has been fed from surrounding church communities such as Mt. Olive, Liberty Hill, Mt. Harmony, Mt. Calm, Fellowship and other areas with large African-American populations. Grambling has historically been the political, economic and social hub for surrounding African-American communities.

GRAMBLING HISTORICAL ATTRACTIONS WHAT MANNER OF PEOPLE Grambling is a living lesson in African-American history. Institution, street and building names, the university and the community itself speak eloquently of significant accomplishments of African-Americans.

Grambling tells the story of a people and the circumstances that brought them to an otherwise remote part of the U.S. hinterland. Following is a listing of sites in Grambling that have been recognized nationally, statewide or locally for historical significance.

GRAMBLING ORIGINAL TRAIN STOP-MARKER Downtown Main Street near railroad This is the site from which the present incorporated city grew; location of the original train stop for P.G. Grambling’s sawmill. African-American workers began to build homes and businessmen opened stores near this railroad stop. A city eventually grew.

2010 GSU Tigers Football 10 www.gsutigers.com COLORED CHAUTAUQUA-MARKER Immediately outside Grambling city limits at railroad across street from Ruston State School African-Americans in the Grambling area were wrapped up in the spirit of the Chautauqua movement that swept the country in the late 1800s to 1905. Ruston was the state headquarters for the movement that promoted popular education and summer school for the masses. Originating in Chautauqua, New York, the movement was credited with inspiring the development of public universities at that time. Louisiana Tech and Grambling State universities are products in this area of the Chautauqua movement.

GRAMBLING STATE UNIVERSITY FOUNDER’S HOME AND HALL OF FAME-MARKER AND HOME The family home of university founder Charles P. Adams, this property is on the U.S. National Register of Historical Places. The home was donated to the Grambling State University Foundation by the family of Charles P. Adams. Its also houses the GSU Hall of Fame that recognizes individuals who have made contribution to the university. The home has been restored to its original 1930s charm when it served as the residence of Charles P. Adams. The home was occupied until the early 1960s.

ORIGINAL ALLEN GREENE SCHOOL SITE, BIRTHPLACE OF GRAMBLING STATE UNIVERSITY- MARKER On the grounds of the Liberty Hill Baptist Association, 118 Bennett Road at West Martin Luther King Blvd. According to the marker, the Allen Greene Normal and Industrial Bible Institute operated from 1896 to 1901. From 1901 to 1905, Charles P. Adams operated a school at this site, the birthplace of Grambling State University. In 1905, the school was moved to its present location 1.5 miles southwest of the former location. This site was purchased by the North Louisiana Colored Agricultural Relief Association Union for the purpose of an industrial training school for Black children.

WORLD WAR II GERMAN PRISONER OF WAR CAMP BUILDINGS On the grounds of the Ruston Developmental Center, just outside the city limits on West Martin Luther King Blvd. During World War II, Camp Ruston was one of 510 prisoner of war camps in the United States. It is the present site of the Ruston Developmental Center. In 1992, the two remaining buildings of the POW camp were placed on the National Register of Historical Places by the federal government. More than 500 of the 750 acres of land for this camp were purchased by the U.S. government from African-American landowners-Gene Younger, Richard Staff and Robert Youngblood. Tours cans be arranged by calling Vince Spion, president of Camp Ruston Foundation, at (318) 247-3721.

2010 GSU Tigers Football 11 www.gsutigers.com Grambling State University combines all the strengths of a major university with the personality of a small college, thereby allowing students to grow and learn in a serene and positive environment. The campus houses students in its 19 residence halls, enhances and promotes student life through its impressive student union and bookstore, and appeals to other areas of life and improvement through buildings such as the assembly center, dining hall, library, intramural center, and health center. More than 800 courses and 68 degree programs are offered at Grambling. There are five colleges, including an honors college, two professional schools, a graduate school, and a Division of Continuing Education. National and local employers recruit graduates from Grambling’s excellent nursing, computer science, teacher education, and other programs.

A wide variety of student clubs and organizations at Grambling ensure that every student will find an activity of interest. Honor societies, sports, art, religion, politics, and Greek organizations are just a few of the organizations that appeal to a diverse group of students. As a member of one of Grambling’s student organizations, students learn to give of themselves while participating in worthwhile campus and community projects.

HISTORY Grambling State University emerged from the desire of African-American farmers in rural north Louisiana who wanted to educate other African Americans in the northern and western parts of the state. In 1896, the North Louisiana Colored Agriculture Relief Association was formed to organize and operate a school.

After opening a small school west of what is now the town of Grambling, the Association requested assistance from Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Charles P. Adams, sent to aid the group in organizing an industrial school, became its founder and first president.

Under Adams’ leadership, the Colored Industrial and Agricultural School opened on November 1, 1901. Four years later, the school moved to its present location and was renamed the North Louisiana Agricultural and Industrial School. By 1928, the school was able to offer two-year professional certificates and diplomas after becoming a state junior college. The school was renamed Louisiana Negro Normal and Industrial Institute.

In 1936, Ralph Waldo Emerson Jones became the second president. The program was reorganized to emphasize rural education. It became internationally known as “The Louisiana Plan” or “A Venture in Rural Teacher Education.” Professional teaching certificates were awarded when a third year was added in 1936, and the first baccalaureate degree was awarded in1944 in elementary education.

The institution’s name was changed to Grambling College in 1946. Thereafter, the college prepared secondary teachers and added curricula in sciences, liberal arts and business. With these programs in effect, the school was transformed from a single purpose institution of teacher education into a multipurpose college. During the 1950s, the college obtained full membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). In 1974, the addition of graduate programs in early childhood and elementary education gave the school a new status and a new name –Grambling State University.

Additionally, the University holds the distinction of being the first Louisiana institution to bring a sitting U.S. President to its campus. The Honorable William “Bill” Jefferson Clinton was the featured speaker during commencement exercises held in May 1999. Nearly two years later, the Tiger Marching Band was the only Louisiana entity included in the inaugural parade for U.S. President George W. Bush. 2010 GSU Tigers Football 12 www.gsutigers.com THE CAMPUS Located in the small north central Louisiana town of Grambling, Grambling State University offers a personalized educational experience with a big city atmosphere. The campus houses students in its 19 residence halls, enhances and promotes student life through its impressive student union and bookstore, and appeals to other areas of life and improvement through buildings such as the dining hall, library, intramural center, and health center. More than 800 courses and 68 degree programs are offered at Grambling.

National and local employers recruit graduates from Grambling’s excellent nursing, computer science, teacher education, and other programs. We encourage you to visit Grambling State University and discover why Grambling State University is Where Everybody is Somebody.

CAMPUS LIFE Grambling State University recognizes that clubs and social organizations are an important part of college life. By joining one of these, students discover an avenue to meet new faces with similar interests and have the opportunity to learn about new subjects. As students’ commitments to their clubs develop, leadership positions may be another step within the activity’s hierarchy that a student can explore.

One of the most popular campus organizations is the Tiger Marching Band, touted as the number one collegiate show band in the world. Formed in 1926 by President R.W.E. Jones, the Mighty Tiger Marching Band has become a household name. The band has been featured in television ads, the major motion picture Drumline, appeared as guest entertainment on televisions shows, and entertained Liberian President William R. Tolbert at his 1972 inauguration. In 1999, the band was selected to represent the Pageantry of Bands section of the NCAA Hall of Fame. Through an impressive list of accomplishments and honors, the Grambling Tiger Band has become known as “The Best In The Land.”

Intercollegiate athletics has also made Grambling State University a household name among national universities. The football program has been successful in landing prominent a coaching staff over the years. Professional football player, Doug Williams, a Most Valuable Player, served as head football coach, succeeding Coach Eddie Robinson, the “winningest coach in the history of football.” Known as the “Cradle of Pros,” Grambling also produced the first black football player in the NFL and the first black to start in the NFL.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT Under the watch of Provost and Vice President Dr. Robert M. Dixon, the Office of the Provost & Vice President for Academic Affairs is designed to provide leadership and supervision for all undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Continuing education initiatives, the military science program, and a variety of support and outreach units also fall under its auspices.

2010 GSU Tigers Football 25 www.gsutigers.com 2010 SEASON OUTLOOK

A 7-4 season and a second place divisional finish by most accounts would signify a successful season, but not for the football program. Head Coach Rod Broadway has instilled a mentality in his players where excellence is expected. As Broadway looks ahead, he believes this season will mark the return of the G-Men to the summit of the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

Broadway contends that the Tigers have made two important changes that will set his team apart from the others this year. “I’m changing the way we play defense; we are going to be more aggressive. We are going to challenge people and not lay back and let people dictate to us…We can’t survive playing defense the way we played defense last year”, Broadway revealed. “We made some offensive changes that we think will help us. We have to learn how to manage the game better. We are going to have to be smarter coaches and coach a little better than we did last year and our players will have to play better than they did last year.”

OFFENSIVE LINE One of the biggest changes on the Tigers offense will come from a sleeker more agile athlete honed to “get down field”. The Tigers will look to the likes of Julian Wyndon, Charvo Lampton and Victor Phillips to lead the band of offensive lineman as they develop their new style of line play.

“What we are going to do is what I’ve wanted to do since I got here and that’s get more athletic upfront. With the way we play we have to get guys that can run. We are trying to get the 300-pounds guys that can run that can move their feet and get down field and get after somebody,” Broadway said. “People like Julian Wyndon is starting to come around. He is the athletic type guy we need in there. Charvo Lampton is another athletic guy that’s making improvements.”

RUNNING BACKS The strength of the Tigers offense will lie in the their backfield where GSU returns arguably the best one-two punch in 2009 second team all-swac performers Frank Warren and Cornelius Walker.

Warren led the team and ranked third in the conference in rushing a year ago with 926 yards on 166 carries with seven ; while Walker was right on his heels with 113 attempts for 645 yards, also with seven scores. Kenneth Batiste and Dawrence Roberts will also be called on to make major contributions as the Tigers began to change up their looks. Batiste had limited touches in the backfield totaling 76 yards on 16 attempts.

“Both of them are good running backs, both of them have really good vision, good feet and good balance (Warren and Walker). Neither one of them is that homerun hitter that you would like to have but they both are 900-yards, thousand-yard guys a year. Both of them are really good players, have good work ethics, good kids that you enjoy working with,” Broadway continued. “We moved Batiste back to and we have to put him in position to do some things that he can do. Dawrence Roberts is going to be a big time back for us, now he’s that homerun hitter. He has to get better as far as blocking and picking up linebackers but once he learns how to play we think he’s going to be a good player for us.”

2010 GSU Tigers Football 26 www.gsutigers.com RECEIVERS / TIGHT END The wide receivers will once again be the great mystery of the GSU offense. A focal point of the Tigers spring workouts their ability to make big plays and stretch the field will be closely scrutinized throughout the season.

Kiare Thompson led GSU’s receivers last season with 28 receptions for 387 yards and a score. Van Phillips averaged a team high 17.8 yards per catch as he picked up 267 yards and three scores on 15 receptions; while Warren had 23 receptions out of the backfield for 205 yards and three scores. Larry Donnell will also look to have a break out year. The 6- 6 tight end recorded 14 receptions for 141 yards and two scores last season.

“Our receivers should be a lot better than what they are right now but we are changing some of the things we do. Kiare Thompson is smooth and he’s good. Van Phillips has gotten better; he has a big body and should be able to make some big plays because he runs well. His work ethics have improved but he has to learn how to run better routes and how to use his hands,” Broadway said. “Bakari Maxwell and Desmond Spivey have done good jobs for us, so we have the talent and the numbers we just have to get them coached up.”

QUARTERBACKS At quarterback Grambling will rely on fresh faces to lead them into battle. Sophomore frontrunner Danny Reyes played in two games in his first season where he completed 50-percent of his passes including a . Reyes notched a 121.6 pass efficiency rating in his limited action.

“At quarterback we have Danny Reyes that hopefully can develop and we have a couple guys coming in here that I’m excited about. We have to play with what we have and make some changes. As coaches we have to identify what guys can do and put them in position to do what they do well,” said Broadway.

DEFENSIVE LINE The heart and soul of the Tigers defense will lie up front with the defensive line. Led by All-American and two-time SWAC defensive player of the year Christian Anthony the Tigers return the depth and experience to form one of the top front four in the conference. With Anthony on one side “Mr. Dependable” Kendall Robinson book ends the other as Jomarcus Savage and Antoine Rogers solidify the middle.

Anthony, named to this seasons ESPN NFL watch list, led the conference in solo tackles with 55 and forced (5); while recording team highs of eight sacks and five . His 76 total tackles were first among SWAC defensive lineman. Robinson turned in a solid season recording 37 tackles (seven for loss, 3.5 sacks), two pass breakups and a recovered .

“Christian is a good player but we just have to make him better, he can’t be happy with where he is, he has to continue to make progress and continue to get better on a daily basis. Kendall Robinson is the other end that’s played a lot of ball for us. He’s dependable, not very flashy, is going to be where he is suppose to be and is a great team guy, the kind you enjoy having on your football team. He is just a dependable guy that doesn’t get a lot of press but just plays his butt off,” Broadway added. “Inside Jomarcus Savage is having an outstanding spring and Rogers is doing a real good job after moving to nose guard.”

2010 GSU Tigers Football 27 www.gsutigers.com LINEBACKERS The Tigers Line backing corp will once again be a bright point for the defense. Cliff Exama (2009 1st team All-SWAC) the G-Men top returning tackler returns to solidify the unit, together with Derrick Johnson and Mycheal Sampson Grambling should once again posses a formidable defense.

Exama, who joins Anthony on the ESPN NFL watch list led the Tigers and ranked second in the conference in tackles with 94 (12 for loss). Johnson recorded 37 tackles (4.5 for loss) and a recovered fumble while Mycheal Sampson added 17 tackles.

“Derrick Johnson is what I like to call a self-made guy. By all means he’s undersize but he just works and works and works, has a great attitude and has worked himself into being a good football player. If everybody had Derrick’s want to and work ethics we would be an outstanding football team because by all rights this guy shouldn’t be playing but now he’s starting for us…Cliff Exama did a good job for us,” said Broadway. “Mychael Sampson, JaCarde Carter, Toby Mott have shown flashes but they have to get consistent.”

DEFENSIVE BACKS Experience and depth will be the key to a Tigers defensive backfield that looks to improve from a subpar campaign. Led by Desmond Leonard, Bruna Foster and Derrick Wilhite the GSU defensive backfield will play with a chip on their shoulders as they look to return to the stature of two seasons ago when they led the nation in interceptions.

Leonard was sixth on the team in tackles with 40. He also had one , forced fumble and recovered fumble. Foster the third highest returning tackler from last season had 48 tackles (3.5 for loss), while Wilhite garnered 35 tackles a sack an interception and two blocked kicks.

“This group has got to play better than last year. We gave up way too many plays secondary wise…Desmond Leonard can flat out run but needs to get a little bit tougher especially against the running game; Dominic Bell is probably one of the best athletes out there but has to continue to get tougher and better,” Broadway continued. “Bruna Foster could be one of the better players in the conference if he can get more physical. If we can get him to bring the heat he can really be an impact player.”

SPECIAL TEAMS It was the best of times; it was the worst of times for the Tigers special team unit. The Tigers boasted the top place kicking unit led by All-American kicker Ari Johnson and one of the SWAC’s top return units led by Kiare Thompson (2009 1st team All-SWAC ), however, despite the success in these areas the G-Men will have to strengthen a kick-off coverage and punt coverage group that often left opponents in prime field position.

“One of our worse teams last year was our kick-off coverage team due impart to us having a freshman kicker that couldn’t put the ball in the part of the field that we wanted to cover; but the other part is when we had good kicks we didn’t cover,” said Broadway. “Our has a chance of being a good punter. We probably tried too much with him as a freshman last year, our kick off guy did a decent job he did a good job on PAT’s and we just have to get him a little more consistent in kicking the ball off deeper.”

2010 GSU Tigers Football 55 www.gsutigers.com rodBROADWAY Head Coach

The ninth head coach in Grambling State history, recently completed his third year at the helm of the storied football program.

Faced with high expectations entering the 2008 campaign following a second place finish in the Southwestern Athletic Conference standings during the 2007 season, Broadway successfully guided Grambling back to the top of the SWAC as he led the Tigers to their 14th National Black College Championship and 22nd SWAC Championship in school history with a 11-2 overall record and an undefeated SWAC record. Last year’s 11-2 record marked only the fifth time in school history that a team has achieved an 11-win season at Grambling. In addition, Broadway became only the third coach in school history to surpass the 50-win Milestone at Grambling in addition to earning SWAC Coach of the Year Honors and The Pigskin Club of Washington D.C., Inc. honors on more than one occasion. Under the guidance of Broadway, the Tigers were among the nation’s elite as they finished ranked No. 1 in the Sheridan Poll and No. 24 in the Sports Network Division I Championship Subdivision Poll.

On the field, the Tiger defensive unit completed another stellar year under Broadway’s watch as they concluded the season ranked first nationally in turnover margin, first in pass efficiency defense, seventh in total defense and seventh in rush defense. Individually, a total of three players from the team earned All-American honors highlighted by defensive lineman Melvin Matthews’ selection to two All-American teams and quarterback Greg Dillon’s Newcomer of the Year honors. In addition, nine players were honored with a spot on the 2008 All-SWAC Team while five players received Louisiana Sports Writers Association honors.

During his first season as head coach of the Tigers in 2007, Broadway immediately made an impact as he guided the Tigers to a five-win turnaround (8-4) from the previous season in addition to capturing the SWAC Western Division Championship and a berth in the SWAC Championship Game. A total of five players received either All-American or All- SWAC honors under his watch and he was also a finalist for the prestigious Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award.

Grambling’s defense was one of the nation’s best as the Tigers finished the year ranked 12th nationally in total defense, eighth in rushing defense and 11th in scoring defense. The Tigers held three teams to 30 or less yards on the ground last season and forced 10 teams into committing three or more turnovers per game. As a result of the unit’s success, Jason Banks (Arizona Cardinals) and safety DeMichael Dizer (Seattle Seahawks), earned free agent invites to training camps.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Tigers featured one of the top offensive units in the SWAC as several players set career highs at their respective positions under the watchful eye of Broadway. On an individual note, wideout Clyde Edwards finished as Grambling’s all-time leading receiver and earned spots on the FCS Fabulous 50 All-American team and training camp roster. Freshman running back Frank Warren was the SWAC’s Freshman of the Year in 2007 while tight end Tim Abney, specialist Tim Manuel and the offensive line duo of Randell Bennett and Tavarus Cockrell were selected to participate in the inaugural Fight on Foundation All-Star Game in Fullerton, Calif.

2010 GSU Tigers Football 56 www.gsutigers.com As a team, the Tigers returned to the national scene after a year’s hiatus and finished the 2007 season ranked 25th nationally in the Sports Network Division I Championship Subdivision Poll and seventh overall in the Sheridan Poll. A native of Oakboro, N.C., the 29-year veteran of the coaching ranks came to Grambling after enjoying a successful stint at North Carolina Central where he wasted no time in putting his stamp on the NCCU program by posting three consecutive winning seasons of eight or more games after a 4-6 record in his inaugural campaign. During the 2006 season, Broadway made history as he led the Eagles to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Division II’s Southeast Region, a No. 1 ranking in the SBN Poll and back-to-back CIAA titles for the first time since the 1953-54 seasons. In addition, the Eagles also fielded the CIAA’s top-ranked offense (345.1 ypg) along with the 15th ranked defense in NCAA Division II (250.7 ypg). Broadway’s 2006 team also featured four players who earned SBN All-American honors including the SBN’s Offensive Player of the Year in freshman quarterback Stadford Brown, 12 All-CIAA selections, 10 Daktronics All-Southeast Region honorees and two Associated Press Little All-Americans.

He closed out his four-year career at NCCU with a decorated resume’ that includes multiple honors by The Pigskin Club of Washington D.C., Inc., a 33-11 overall record, back-to-back CIAA titles, two consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division II Playoffs, a 16-game regular season winning streak and a 29-4 record over the past three seasons. In addition, Broadway also collected the school’s first- ever victory over a Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) opponent with a victory over in 2006.

Prior to his tenure at NCCU, Broadway honed his skills on the NCAA football’s highest level as the defensive line coach of the University of North Carolina (2001-02), University of Florida (1995-00), Duke (1981-94) and East Carolina (1979-80).

As an assistant coach at North Carolina, Broadway helped the Tar Heels to a No. 15 national ranking in total defense and an appearance in the . While at Florida, he served as a member of Steve Spurrier’s staff and helped the Gators attain four SEC Championships, six bowl appearances and one national championship in 1996. Broadway’s defensive units at Florida led the SEC in sacks from 1996-99 with the 1997 team setting a school record for rush defense with 70.7 yards per game.

A 1977 graduate of the University of North Carolina, Broadway played on the defensive line from 1974-77 and helped lead. Carolina to the 1974 Sun Bowl and the 1977 Liberty Bowl. Among the honors he earned were the team’s “Outstanding Freshman” in 1974 and “Most Outstanding Senior” along with All-ACC honors in 1977.

Shawn Gibbs begins his fourth season as the running backs coach at Grambling State University. A native of Black Mountain, N.C., Gibbs is one of four assistant coaches who accompanied head coach Rod Broadway from North Carolina Central to Grambling State.

In his first year as running backs coach at Grambling, Gibbs inherited a backfield void of experience as the depth chart featured four true freshmen. Despite the abundance of youth and lack of experience, Gibbs’ unit turned out to be one of the most productive in the nation as the freshman tandem of Frank Warren and Cornelius Walker burst on to the scene with a combined total of 1,466 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. Warren, the SWAC’s Freshman of the Year in 2007, finished 99 yards shy of 1,000 yards with 901 rushing yards while Walker ran for 565 total yards.

Pruitt’s development came as no surprise due to the fact that Gibbs was also a former standout running back NCCU from 1993 to 1997. He’s the ninth-leading rusher in school history with 1,687 yards and averaged 5.1 yards per carry on 330 career attempts.

IN THIS SECTION History of the SWAC 92 SWAC Profile 93 SWAC Champions Year by Year 94 SWAC Records 95-98

2010 GSU Tigers Football 91 www.gsutigers.com In 1920, eight men representing six colleges from the state of Texas met to discuss collegiate athletics and the many challenges that face their respective institutions. By the time the session in Houston had concluded, they had founded an athletic league that went on to become one of the leading sports associations in the world of collegiate athletics, the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

The founding fathers of the original “Super Six” were C.H. Fuller of Bishop College, Red Randolph and C.H. Patterson of Paul Quinn, E.G. Evans, H.J. Evans and H.J. Starns of Prairie View A&M, D.C. Fuller of Texas College and G. Whitte Jordan of Wiley College.

The Southwestern Athletic Conference’s current members include: Alabama A&M University (Huntsville, AL), Alabama State University (Montgomery, AL), (Alcorn State, MS), Grambling State University (Grambling, LA), Jackson State University (Jackson, MS), Mississippi Valley State University (Itta Bena, MS), Prairie View A&M University (Prairie View, TX), Southern University and A&M College (Baton Rouge, LA), Texas Southern University (Houston, TX) and the Duer Sharp University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (Pine Bluff, AR). Commissioner Former members of the SWAC include Bishop College (1920-56), Paul Quinn College (1920-29), Sam Houston College (1920-59), Texas College (1920-68), Wiley College (1920-68), Langston University (1931- 57) and Arkansas AM&N (1936-70). The founding fathers of the original “Super Six” were C.H. Fuller of Bishop College, Red Randolph and C.H. Patterson of Paul Quinn, E.G. Evans, H.J. Evans and H.J. Starns of Prairie View A&M, D.C. Fuller of Texas College and G. White Jordan of Wiley College.

Paul Quinn became the first of the original members to withdraw from the league when it did so in 1929. When Langston was admitted into the conference two years later, it began the migration of state-supported institutions into the SWAC. Southern University entered the ranks in 1934, followed by Arkansas AM&N in 1936 and Texas Southern in 1954.

Rapid growth in enrollment of the state-supported schools made it difficult for the church-supported schools to finance their athletics programs and one by one they fell victim to the growing prowess of the tax-supported colleges. Bishop withdrew from the conference in 1956, Langston in 1957 and Sam Houston in 1959, one year after the admittance of two more state- supported schools – Grambling College and Jackson College.

The enter-exit cycle continued in 1961 when Texas College withdrew, followed by the admittance of Alcorn A&M in 1962. Wiley left in 1968, the same year Mississippi Valley State entered. Arkansas AM&N exited in 1970 and Alabama State entered in 1982. Arkansas-Pine Bluff (formerly Arkansas AM&N) rejoined the SWAC on July 1, 1997, regaining full- member status one year later. Alabama A&M became the conference’s 10th member when it became a full member in September 1999 after a one-year period as an affiliate SWAC member.

Today, the SWAC ranks among the elite in the nation in terms of alumni playing with professional sports teams, particularly in the sport of football. On the gridiron, the conference has been the biggest draw on the Division I-AA level of the NCAA, leading the nation in average home attendance for 26 of the 27 years the I-AA division has been in existence. In fact, in 1994, the SWAC fell just 40,000 fans short of becoming the first non-Division I-A conference to attract one million fans to it’s home games.

For legendary Grambling State University football coach Eddie G. Robinson, football was always the driving force motivating one of the most successful men to ever have set foot on a football field. Coach Robinson spent 57 seasons consistently fielding stellar football teams and guiding his young charges to successful lives both on and off the gridiron. He earned an unprecedented 408 college football victories to set the NCAA’s benchmark for wins in Division I. Coach Robinson retired with an overall record of 408 wins, 165 losses, and 15 ties. More than 200 of his players went on to play in the National Football League, including Super Bowl XXII MVP quarterback Doug Williams, who would ultimately succeed Robinson as Grambling’s head coach in 1998. Though the ultra-successful, Coach Robinson has always remained humble, crediting his players, his family, his loving wife Doris, the media, and football fans from all over the world with making the name Eddie Robinson synonymous with the best that college football has to offer. On October 7, 1995, Robinson became the first college football coach to break the 400-win barrier, a mark once thought to be unreachable. The 42-6 triumph over Mississippi Valley State came before a national television audience on ESPN2. “Nobody has ever done or will do what Eddie Robinson has done for this game,” legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno said. ‘Our profession will never, ever be able to repay Eddie Robinson for what he has done for this country and the profession of football.” Time after time Coach Robinson proved that hard work, dedication, and determination could lead to unimaginable accomplishments. Neither of Coach Robinson’s parents graduated from high school, but they encouraged their son’s desire to stay in school and earn a college degree. A young Robinson moved on from high school to become a quarterback at Leland College under Reuben Turner, a Baptist preacher who introduced Robinson to the concepts of playbooks and coaching clinics. With no coaching opportunities available following college, Robinson took a job in the Baton Rouge feed mill before learning from a relative that there was an opening for a football coach at Louisiana Negro Normal and Industrial Institute, later to become Grambling State University. After an interview with school president Dr. Ralph Waldo Emerson Jones, Robinson was chosen as the sixth head football coach of the Tigers. It didn’t take Coach Rob, as he is affectionately known, long to prove his worth. Following his initial season, Coach Robinson took command and dismissed some players who he felt were not living up to expectations. The results came soon thereafter, as the next season Coach Robinson’s team posted a perfect 9-0 season with the team going undefeated, untied and unscored upon. Grambling was only the second collegiate team to have shut out every opponent, a feat which has not been repeated since. By 1949, Grambling’s football program was receiving national acclaim after former Tigers running back Paul “Tank” Younger signed with the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League, this becoming the first player from a historically black college to be taken to the NFL. In 1955, Grambling claimed the National Black College Championship by going 10-0 (the best record in school history) and outscoring opponents by a 356-61 margin. After picking up his 100th career coaching victory against Bethune-Cookman in 1957, Coach Robinson and his Tigers joined the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in 1959. The following season he led the Tigers to the first of 17 SWAC titles under his guidance. Another of Robinson’s former Tigers made NFL waves in 1963, as the late Junious “Buck” Buchanan became the first player from a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) to have been chosen first overall in the NFL Draft. By 1984, Coach Robinson was poised to become college football’s winningest coach. After surpassing Amos Alonzo Stagg’s 314 coaching victories that year, he tied legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant’s 323-win mark with a 23-6 win over Oregon State before becoming the career wins leader the next week with a 27-7 win over Prairie View A & M. Coach Robinson finally relinquished his reigns to the tigers following the 1997 season, but his contribution to the game will be remembered forever. Also during the same year, he was officially inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. The Football Writers of America’s Coach of the Year award is named after Coach Robinson. Grambling also named its football stadium, Robinson Stadium. Robinson graduated from McKinley Senior High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1937. He went on to earn his Bachelor’s Degree from Leland College of Baker, Louisiana, then went on to obtain his Master’s Degree from the in 1954. EGR “Hell baby, tell them something about Grambling!”

The end result, however, was the building of an award-winning career in sports information that spanned 30 years and played an immeasurable role in developing the world-wide reputation of one of America’s best known black colleges, Grambling State University. Collie J. Nicholson was fresh out of the Marines finishing a three-year stint in the South Pacific during World War II when he and a friend made a stop at Grambling State. They were really on their way north to the University of Wisconsin, but it was years before anyone at Grambling knew the story. Nicholson, who had started school at Grambling before the war, ran into the school’s president, Ralph Waldo Emerson Jones during his brief stopover. Having known Collie when he first attended Grambling, the “Prez”, as he was affectionately known, invited him to his office to discuss some ideas for the young journalist. Not wanting to tell that Prez he was actually on his way to another school, Collie went to the bus stop, grabbed his bags and headed to the dorm. More than 30 years later, in 1978, Collie J. Nicholson retired as the school’s only sports information director and more than that, one of the profession’s most creative members. In the summer of 2002, nearly 25 years after retiring, Nicholson was named the recipient of the prestigious College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Trailblazer Award. This award is given annually to a pioneer in the field of sports information who has mentored and helped improve the level of ethnic and gender diversity within CoSIDA, Nicholson was honored at the organization’s annual workshop on July 2, 2002 in Rochester, New York. What Collie accomplished was to put Grambling on the map around the world. When he started his job, Collie convinced Prez all he really needed were stamps, envelope and stationery, plus a trusty typewriter. He began by sending advances to 400 black newspapers nationwide. After football games, he would drive 75 miles to Shreveport Western Union Station, where he would wire the stories to selected newspapers across the country. Collie’s reports made every game, regardless of the outcome, sound exciting. Through his creative writing style, more and more papers ran accounts of Grambling’s games. But Nicholson with the support of President R.W.E. Jones and Robinson, envisioned a much bigger picture and he rarely accepted a no when it came to developing ideas that would further spread the word about Grambling athletics. In the 1960’s he pounded the pavement of , looking for sponsors who would help stage a football game in , pitting Grambling against another team from a black college. It wasn’t easy, but Collie’s “never quit” efforts found the sponsors and in 1968 Grambling and Morgan State played before 64,000 fans in a packed-to-the-brim Yankee Stadium. Television was another target Collie set in his sights. Some might say he hounded the national networks, but whatever he did, it worked. ABC signed on and televised its first football game between the two black colleges. Collie also believed Grambling could take its football team and well-known marching band on the road to capture attention. Over the years and through his persistence, Grambling broke ground with appearances in huge venues like Pittsburgh’s , Detroit Silverdome and the Louisiana (New Orleans) Superdome. The now traditional Bayou Classic was also a product of Collie’s efforts. In 1974, he convinced officials at both Grambling and Southern University that they could create something special by moving their annual game to New Orleans. Before long, the classic was born and the game was played before capacity crowds. Nicholson also took great pride in the Tiger Marching Band. He considered the band and the athletic teams as a marriage and promoted them as one package. It was Nicholson who garnered exposure for the band in three Super Bowl games and a 14-day tour to Liberia. He also arranged for Grambling State football games to be played in Tokyo, Japan in 1976 and 1977 with part of the draw the now well-known Tiger Marching Band. While building support for the Tokyo package in the mid-1970’s, Collie learned Japanese so he would not embarrass himself, the school or his hosts in Japan. Its Nicholson’s efforts that helped the Los Angeles Rams discover Paul “Tank” Younger, the first player from a black college to make it in the National Football League. He launched the Heisman and All-America campaign for Doug Williams when he finished fourth in the Heisman race and was a first team All-America selection by the A.P. – which was a first for any athlete from a black school. When Collie was not knocking on doors, he was producing unique and award-winning press guides, with recognition from the NCAA, NAIA and CoSIDA. Two of his publications were voted best in the nation. He also served for several years as the sports information director of the Southwestern Athletic Conference. Nicholson was a memeber of the Grambling State University Hall of Fame and following his career was recognized with numerous awards, including the Distinguised Service Award in Sports Journalism by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association in 1990. Nicholson, 85, died peacefully in Shreveport, Louisiana on September 13, 2006.

2010 GSU Tigers Football 128 www.gsutigers.com albertDENNIS III Dennis the Menance (GSU: 1948-1978) Al Dennis was born June 24, 1951, at Independence in south Louisiana and honed his skills as an Iarrupin’ lineman at Greenville Park High School in Hammond. “His daddy was a tackle, too, and was captain of the team with ‘Tank’ Younger”, recalls Eddie Robinson. “We were in a hot battle with Tulane trying to get young Albert but we hung on and signed him. His daddy was upset over publicity. He said we were making Albert III an All-American and he had not played one down. “There were photos in the newspapers on the signing, and the press. His daddy said he had never gotten that kind of recognition.” Like his father, Albert as a senior would captain the Tigers and would also be named a second team All-American by the Pittsburgh Courier. And this was not just a “Fat Albert”. He was solid and tough, big and quick. He came on like gangbusters after a leg injury sidetracked his sophomore campaign, crashing onto the All-SWAC team as a junior. Albert was easily recognizable with a “curious straddling gait” and he was conscientious when it came to protecting quarterback Matt Reed. Eager to learn and easy to teach, Albert was a devastating tackle on a 1972 club that won 10 of 12 game including a 56-6 walloping of North Carolina Central in the Pecan Bowl. The Tigers of 1972 were overloaded with standout lineman. On offense there were Willie Robinson, Andrew Jackson, Bobby Simon and Dennis. On defense the front four included Robert Barber, Gary Johnson, Jesse O’Neal and Sylvester Bates. Dennis was also sharp in the classroom, an honor student who earned his degree in marketing. Paired down to 250 pounds, with an eye on playing guard in the NFL, Al hooked on with the Cowboys as a free agent in 1973 but before he could pack his bags for Dallas he was waived and claimed by San Diego. He played in seven games for the Chargers and caught the eyes of line coach . When Forrest joined Cleveland the following season, young Dennis was given a brief trial in September. When Gregg took over as head coach of the Browns in 1975, he remembered Al, who would see guard service in 1976 and 1977. Albert Jr., in the meantime, would have to content himself with recognition as an outstanding high school coach in New Orleans and at BTW and Green Oaks high school in Shreveport. In November of 2000 Dennis was appointed director of athletics at Grambling State University after serving a 10 month stint as the interim AD. Dennis, a veteran of the Grambling athletic department for over 25 years, brought an extensive background and keen sense and knowledge of the Grambling athletic program, having served as business services manager, athletic coordinator and auxiliary/ athletic accountant. He received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Grambling 1972 and a master’s in sports administration in 1982. Dennis is a member of several organizations, including the College Athletic Business Management Association, the Louisiana Athletic Business Management Association and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. Dennis is married to the former Sarah Dangerfield and is the proud father of three, Swanie (GSU, ’95), Kadar and Blythe.

2010 GSU Tigers Football 129 www.gsutigers.com juniousBUCHANAN “The Buck” stops here---(GSU: 1959-1962)

Junious “Buck” Buchanan. That says it all. “Our first, first round draft choice,” reminds Eddie Robinson. Thirteen years as an awesome defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. But, it was not Kansas City that made Buck the first ever player chosen in the inaugural Draft in 1963. That honor went to Oakland; the Raiders subsequently transferring their claim on Buck to the Chiefs. He was the first player from Grambling State to have ever been selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. With that generally-ignored fact disposed of, turn your attention to now one of the greatest defensive linemen who ever tightened a chin strap. He came in at 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds as a freshman, class of ‘59 at Grambling. He went out a 6-foot-7 and 275-pound behemoth as a 13-year Chief in 1975. In between, he demolished everything in sight and climbed the peak of his profession in two Super Bowls. “Someone called me one night,” remembers Eddie of his introduction to Buchanan, who was born September 10, 1940 in Gainesville, Alabama, but would play his prep ball at Parker High School in Birmingham. “The man said, ‘There is a football player here you need.’ I said, ‘Who?’ He said, Junious Buchanan.” Arrangements were made for Buchanan to enroll at Grambling in mid-semester. “He came in and weighed 210 pounds,” fondly recalls Robinson. “Ernie Ladd was coming off of a knee injury. Ladd, before Buck got here was our fastest interior lineman. When Buck got here, he and Ladd would be fighting to the tape. “But to be honest, I didn’t think Buck would be much of a ball player because he had his foot in a bucket. It didn’t look like he could move with lateral movement. Then we would start running our plays. If we went to the right he would tackle us. If we went to the left he would tackle us. If we went right at him, he would tackle us. . .Boy, he was really tough.” Buchanan checked in at Grambling with a skilled freshman group that included the ill-fated Stone Johnson, Lane Howell, Fred Collins, Bob Burton, Willie Brown, Charles Cook and colorful Willie “Special Touchdown” Houston. Older backfield star Jamie Caleb, fullback Preston Powell, punter Curtis Cotton and the ponderous Ladd. There also a half-dozen scintillating sophomores–Clifton McNeil, Jerry Robinson, , Garland Boyette, Leon Simmons and Eugene Hughes. It was, for the most part, a young ball club in the making. After struggling through a 4-6 season in 1959, the Tigers took off on the turn into the ‘60s. They posted a 23-5-2 record during Buck’s three seasons through 1962. Buck was named an All-American all three seasons, was elected team captain and in 1961 was voted lineman of the year in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). That same year, he was named to the SWAC All-Academic team for maintaining a 3.20 grade point average majoring in physical education. Also while at Grambling State, Buck participated in both basketball and track and field as a member of the sprint relay teams in addition to playing football. In 1968, he was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame. He was just starting to make waves. After playing for the 1963 College All-Star squad that upset Green Bay’s mighty Packers, he joined the Chiefs. It was Buchanan who cemented the tremendous defenses fashioned by Coach . Up front, Buck would battle ferociously for a decade alongside Jerry Mays, , Aaron Brown, and for brief stretches Grambling teammates Al Dotson and Ernie Ladd. Behind them roamed linebackers , , “Beast” Holub and . Further back would lurk , Willie Mitchell, , Fred “The Hammer” Williamson, , Jime Marsalis, Jim Kearney and Grambling ex Goldie Sellers. Right there in the middle of it all was team captain Buck Buchanan. Among his feats: -Played in the first AFC-NFC game in 1970, also the first Pro Bowl of 1971. -Voted the Chiefs’ Most Valuable Player in 1965 in 1967. -Named to All-AFL teams in 1967 through 1969 and the All-NFC squad in 1970. -Played in six straight AFL All-Star games from 1964 through 1969. -Played in AFL Championship games in 1966 and 1969, followed by Super Bowls I and IV. Those were just samplings. It was worth noting that Buck also played in all but one of 182 regular season games scheduled by the Chiefs. He missed his first game in 1974 with a broken hand. Despite the injury, he played in 13 of the team’s 14 games. Away from the playing fields, Buck was active in civic affairs, serving as director of the Kansas State Special Olympics for mentally and physically retarded children in 1972 through 1975. After peeling off of his pads a final time, Buck hooked on as an assistant coach with the New Orleans, Saints. Buck had finally stopped here in Louisiana. He was officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990. He passed away on July 16, 1992 after a long battle against lung cancer. Buchanan was inducted into the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame on August 17, 1996. He was also inducted into the American Football League, Louisiana Sports and Southwestern Athletic Conference Hall of Fame. The Sports Network national news service named its national NCAA Division I-AA Defensive Player of the Year award in his honor. 2010 GSU Tigers Football 130 www.gsutigers.com willieBROWN He was no ‘Assassin’---(GSU:1959-62)

Yazoo City, Mississippi, is probably best know in these parts for three native sons. . . country philosopher Jerry Clower, positive thinker Zig Zigler and football cornerback William Freddie Brown. Willie Brown played 16 years in the American and National Football Leagues and picked off a record 54 interceptions. He was the only player in NFL history to intercept at least one pass in 16 consecutive seasons; which puts him three years up on the nearest challengers , Dick “Night Train” Lane, Larry Wilson and Jimmy Johnson. That, in itself, is very select company in the NFL. Beyond that, Willie also played a dozen seasons in an Oakland defensive backfield with two of the more ferocious head-hunters in the business–George Atkinson and . It was Tatum who wrote the book, “They Call Me Assassin.” Brown was never an “assassin” all those years he dressed out as one of the guys who wore black with the Raiders. Willie would hit you hard enough, but his forte was finesse. Steal the ball and run. Twice he scored touchdowns on interception returns in playoff games against Miami in 1970 and Pittsburgh in 1973. However, the play that he is most recognized for was the 75-yard interception that he returned for a touchdown in the Raiders’ 32-14 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl XI. Willie did not even look malicious. He looked like a guy who you would vote for as senior class president, which he was at Grambling. “Tom Williams recruited Willie Brown,” recalls Eddie Robinson. “He went into Mississippi and got him over some other schools. From the very beginning, Willie was just a clean-cut athlete. Extremely fast. We played him as an end. He was one of the guys with great ability. It was not real important where we put him. He could have been a great running back. Or a great tight end, because he was an exceptional blocker.” “And he had character.” Solidly built at 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds, Willie was spotted at split end “because he was beating everybody on the deep passes with his speed” and he played outside linebacker on defense. He was a Tiger from 1959 through 1962, won four letters and picked up another two block G’s with the track team. In the classroom, he earned a degree in health and physical education. A smart man, Willie. Willie could run with the best in his day, but hardly anyone noticed because of his college career paralleled those of Olympian sprinter Stone Johnson and “Gray Ghost” Jerry Robinson. The team’s tailback Don Stephenson, once returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in Shreveport. “On that particular team, almost the whole defensive group got into pro football,” reminds Robinson. “(Ernie) Ladd, (Buck) Buchanan, Lane Howell, Simmons, Boyette, Wilson, (Goldie) Sellers and Rosey Taylor. It was easy to see why Willie got lost in the crowd. And it explains why the Houston Oilers landed him as a free agent in 1963. But he was cut loose by the Oilers–we all make mistakes– and picked up by Denver during that same August. Willie played four seasons with the Broncos; intercepting nine passes as a professional sophomore in 1964 and holding a school reunion in 1966 when he was joined in the Denver secondary by old mates Goldie Sellers and Nemiah Wilson. That may have been Grambling’s finest hour for producing defensive backs. Three regulars on the same pro club. The old gang was broken up a month after the season ended, however. Willie and Louisiana Tech quarterback Mickey Slaughter were traded to Oakland. It was a start of a lasting relationship. Willie, born December 2, 1940, was 26 years old when he joined the “pride and poise” Raiders. When he hung up his tack, he was 38. Using guile, a dash of speed and a bushel of experience, Willie in 12 seasons with the Raiders intercepted at total of 39 passes which is a club record. One year, he helped the Raiders to set an all-time theft record at 35. He played in five AFL All-Star games and four NFL Pro Bowls. He captained the Raiders on defense and in 1969, won the Gorman Award as the “player who best exemplifies the pride and spirit of the Oakland Raiders.” He still shares an NFL record with four interceptions in one game. . . November 15, 1964 against the New York Jets. Willie Brown was a winner all the way. Eight years in postseason championship playoffs. . . including Super Bowl II. “He was just a real good football player,” says Eddie Robinson. Brown was officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1984. In addition, he was honored as one of the Best Black College Athletes of All-Time by Family Digest magazine in July of 2004. He is also a member of the American Football League, Louisiana Sports, Grambling State, SWAC and Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame.

2010 GSU Tigers Football 131 www.gsutigers.com willieDAVIS The Means to an End---(GSU:1952-55)

Was there ever a more awesome sight on the playing fields of the NFL than the sweeping strength thrown into battle by the Green Bay Packers of the 1960’s? The legions drummed together by Vince six times barreled into the league’s championship game during the decade and five times emerged triumphant; including a string of three in a row from 1965-67. Ten years later there would come another dynasty, forged by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers would hit with the big play. The Packers would hurt you for sixty minutes. Little finesse, more like brute strength. operated with surgical precision, handing the ball off to and behind pulverizing blocks laid down by , , Forrest Gregg and . And the defense. In the 14-game season of 1966, the Packers gave up 163 points, less than twelve a game. Nobody ran through much daylight against the likes of , , Dave Robinson, Herb Adderly, , . . . and Willie Delford Davis. A legendary football game, and Willie Davis was right there in the middle. Actually, Willie hung around the fringes. He played end, a gentle giant at 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds. Gentle, that is, until he strapped on his helmet. Willie was a classic performer as a defensive lineman, probably the best he has ever seen, says Eddie Robinson. Born in Lisbon, Arkansas on July 24, 1934, he prepped at Booker T. Washington High School in Texarkana. “We finally convinced his Mama,” Robinson recalls of the recruiting. “We promised her that we would see that he got Sunday school and church. When we told her that, he didn’t have a chance.” Young Davis may have been genteel on the Sabbath, but he was less than gentle on Saturdays. “At first, while he was here,” remembers Robinson, “he wanted to play end. He weighed around 210, 215. But we changed him to guard. That was in 1952.” As a guard, Willie was a two-time black college All-American in 1954-55. With him in the lineup in 1955, Grambling would win its first national championship (eleven more would follow through to the present day). The 1955 season was culminated by a trip to the Orange Blossom Classic. “We were invited to Tallahassee to play Florida A&M University,” reflects Robinson. “They were outstanding with and Adolphus Frazier. Each of them scored 16 touchdowns that year. They were really tough.” The Rattlers also fielded an All-American guard, Carl Crowell. Grambling was no slouch, either, having gone unbeaten through nine games without breaking a sweat. “We had Bo Murray,” agrees Robinson. “On the first play of the game Bo went back to throw a pass and he faked a run to fullback Leon Gafford. This tackle from Florida broke it up. He said after the tackle, ‘I’m up for All-America so don’t come this way again.’ On the next play, Murray called a trap. Willie came form the opposite side and he really trapped this boy. When Willie got up, he said ‘You’re up for All-American? I can see why you’re not going to make it.’ Willie had hitting power. And he was our captain, an outstanding leader.” Grambling turned back FAMU by 28-21. More important for Willie, scouts who had been dispatched by the Cleveland Browns to analyze Galimore went back home singing the praises of Davis. The Browns had an inside track. Ruston’s Dub Jones, who had been a great running back for Cleveland, once scoring six touchdowns in a single game, had begun working with Willie on the blocking sled. “And Tank Younger in Los Angeles was predicting that Davis was going to be a player,” reminds Robinson. The Browns, encouraged by their Orange Blossom eyewitnesses and Dub Jones’ recommendation, drafted Willie in the 15th round of the 1956 draft thus making him the first ever player in Grambling history to have ever been drafted. It does not sound like a high ranking now, but this was less than seven years after Younger had become the first black college player to join an NFL team. Before joining the Browns, however, Willie had more pressing business; he picked up his Bachelor of Science degree in industrial arts in the spring of 1956, then fulfilled a military obligation over a two-year stretch. By 1958 he was free to sign with the Browns. Cleveland, like Green Bay in later years, was then a powerhouse under coach . Try for starters, and add and . Thrown into a defensive line company with the likes of Paul Wiggins, , and , rookie Davis played in all 24 games over two seasons before being traded to the Packers for end A.D. Williams in 1960. He would spend ten seasons in Green Bay before his retirement at age 36. Davis never missed a kickoff in his dozen years as a professional player in 286 games including 262 as a Packer. Three times he was tabbed as a Western Conference All-Star, during the glory years from 1965 through 1967. He would play in no less than five Pro Bowls. He was there when Green Bay whipped Kansas City 35-10 in the first Super Bowl, and when the Packers routed Oakland 33-14 in Super Bowl II. He was on the premises, too, when the Packers out- skidded Dallas 21-17 in the 1967 Ice Bowl at Green Bay. Willie also captained the Packers. There were not many places Willie Davis could not go, if he had a mind to. And he had a mind. He received his Master’s Degree in Business Administration in 1968 from the University of Chicago, and is now a successful businessman in Los Angeles, California. Davis was officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1981. 2010 GSU Tigers Football 132 www.gsutigers.com charlieJOINER On and On and On, Etc.---(GSU:1968-69)

Charles Joiner Jr. was once described as the quintessential professional. “From the way he conducts himself in each practice each day to the manner in which he runs his precise pass patterns,” explained the front office people in San Diego, a western bastion of the National Football League. The Chargers’ owner, Eugene Klein, and this is according to the gospel as preached by Eddie Robinson, “thinks the sun rises and sets on Charlie Joiner.” Sufficient reason exists for the affection. Since joining the Chargers in April of 1976– an even swap for defensive lineman bringing him from Cincinnati–Charlie has grabbed 190 passes as a favorite companion of quarterback . Net worth of same, 3,213 yards spread over four seasons. It means, too that Charlie has been good for 17 yards a pop every time he gets his sensitive hands on the football.

There is an added dimension, in that Charlie’s best season as a wide receiver with the Chargers came in 1979 when he caught 72 passes for 1,008 yards in the wide-open aerial bombardment navigated by Fouts. Charlie at the time was 32 going on 33, and we are not talking about his uniform number. Charlie for the record, turned 33 on October 14, 1980, and there he was still running those “precise patterns” and eluding defensive backs in San Diego. He knew all the steps, having gone about this business for 12 years since coming off the dusty drillfields at Grambling. “Charlie goes all out,” says an admiring Robinson. “He spends a lot of time with young receivers, too. He has a lot of class.” Joiner, born in Many, Louisiana, turned up at Grambling after impressing his prep coach, Wiley Stewart, at W.O. Boston High School in Lake Charles. “Stewart once told us Charlie was a good receiver and he could play,” Robinson recalls. “He teamed here with James Harris. There it was, touchdown after touchdown.” “Charlie, had some of Dub Jones’ influence, too. Dub told me one day that Charlie Joiner ran some of the finest patterns he’d ever seen. Beating the man, that’s where he excelled.” Charlie, not overly large at 5-foot-11 and 188 pounds, but blessed with 4.4 speed over 40 yards, learned his trade from the very best while at Grambling. He ran his patterns in summer workouts against Willie Brown, then an established cornerback with Oakland, and he was lectured on offensive strategy by both Dub Jones and Clifton McNeil, at the time an all-league receiver with San Francisco. This football education coincided with the arrival at Grambling of a 200-pound quarterback out of Monroe, the man called James Harris. Harris between 1965 and 1968, would deliver 289 pass completions for 4,705 yards and 53 touchdowns. And Joiner caught his share– 78 receptions– along with Bob Atkins, Frank Lewis, Essex Johnson and big tight end Terry Williams. The Tigers went 23-6-1 in three years with Harris throwing downfield to Joiner and others. An All-Southwestern Athletic Conference finish as a senior drew the interest of Houston, and the Oilers made Charlie a fourth round choice in the combined AFL-NFL Draft of 1969. Joiner as a rookie impressed the Oilers with “fluid moves, excellent hands and the ability to make the tough catch in the crowd,” but a broken arm derailed him for most of the 1969 season and part of 1970. Once healed, he led the Oilers with seven touchdowns and 681 receiving yards in 1971. “Just a matter of time before he reaches stardom,” predicted the Oilers. Patience, however, was not to be an Oiler virtue, and Charlie, along with linebacker , was dispatched to Cincinnati six games into the 1972 season in exchange for running backs and Paul Robinson. Reunited with Essex Johnson and deployed with standout receiver , Joiner would be an integral part of the Bengals’ attack arsenal for three years; catching 37 passes for 726 yards in 1975. His first season in San Diego, 1976, he hauled in 50 throws for 1,056 yards– better than 20 yards per catch– and played in the Pro Bowl. Not bad for a 29-year old gaffer who was back on the same side with old buddy James Harris. In eleven seasons, Charlie had chalked off 6,156 yards and 38 touchdowns on the payoff end of 354 long shots lobbed behind some of the best deepbacks in the league. And he will keep on catching them because he is good at it. It is something he likes to do. He does not have to do this for a living; he earned his degree in accounting in 1969 and is a ten-year man with Gulf Oil in Houston. Joiner is currently working as the receivers coach with the Kansas City Chiefs. But quitting in mid-stride, that is not Charlie Joiner. He finished his pro career by catching 750 passes for 12,146 yards and 65 touchdowns while averaging 16.2 yards per catch. He also had 50 or more receptions in seven years and 70 or more catches for three of those seasons. Charlie Joiner was officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in July 1996.

2010 GSU Tigers Football 133 www.gsutigers.com sammyWHITE In the North, A Star---(GSU:1972-75)

You could call him Sammie. Or you could call him Sammy. Whatever. But make no mistake about the last name-White. “Frank Lewis and Sammie White had so much in common,” submits Eddie Robinson.”Either one could take a screen pass…and score.” Sammie, from 1972 through 1975, scored 43 touchdowns, one more than Frank. Sammie also caught 26 career touchdown passes, eight more than Frank. Where Lewis’ name used to be in the record books, it has been replaced by White. Sammie’s tenure at Grambling spanned three quarterbacks-Matt Reed, Joe Comeaux and Doug Williams-and with this arsenal of firepower the Tigers forgot how to lose. They went 10-2 in 1972 and whipped North Carolina Central, 56-6, in the Pelican Bowl; finished 10-3 in 1973 while dumping Delaware, 17-8 in the Boardwalk Bowl; closed at 11- 1 in 1974 while routing South Carolina State, 28-7, in the Pelican Bowl; and rumbled to a 10-1 record in 1975. Grand total in wins and losses: 41-7. One of the 1973 losses came in the NCAA playoff, a 28-20 heartbreaker against Western Kentucky in the Grantland Rice Bowl. Born March 16, 1954, Winnsboro, Sammie prepped at Richwood High School in Monroe. “We watched him all the way,” says Robinson. “We knew what he could do. He was almost unbelievable in high school…” Not as unbelievable as he would become at Grambling. Sammie had deceptive speed –his time for the 40-yard dash was 4.6-but beyond that he had exceptional moves and reflexes.” His first year he took over at wingback in his fourth game,” remember Robinson. “He was a climax runner, and could make the big play. When he made rookie of the year with the Viking I told them he hadn’t played for Grambling College.” Sammie was compactly constructed at 5-foot-11 and 189 pounds. Three times he was voted All-SWAC; twice he was named an NCAA Division II All-American. He caught 100 passes as a collegian, a school record matched only by Michael Moore, who would benefit as Doug Williams recipient through 1977. “Sammie, too, was a fine person,” Robinson adds. “He could come into a room and if you didn’t ask him, you wouldn’t know who he was.” Minnesota’s Viking knew who Sammie White was after his senior season of 1975. He rushed the ball 63 times for 479 yards, caught 37 passes for 802 yards and scored 17 touchdowns, 12 on receptions. In four years he contributed 3,287 yards to Grambling’s attack. He had gained 2,169 of those yards on pass catches, a school record. The Vikings made Sammie their second round drafts pick in 1976. Sammie, with good hands and quick feet, joined the Vikings fresh from the College All-Star game in Chicago. In the four years since, coming into this season, he would catch 187 passes for 3,122 yards. What is remarkable about his performance in the NFL is the reminder that the Vikings have long regarded a dump pass out of the backfield as a significant achievement. Yet he average better than 15 yards per catch, holds a club record with touchdown catches in four consecutive games, had caught at least one pass in sixty straight games, and in 1977 hauled in a 69-yard bomb from Tommy Kramer against San Francisco. As a rookie with the Vikings, White started every game scoring 10 touchdowns and set a team rookie receiving yards record with 906 yards which stood until it was broken by former Minnesota wideout in 1998. He also held team records for both touchdowns and yards in a game by a rookie which were both broken by Moss in the same year. He was named the NFL Offensive and NFC Rookie of the year in 1976 and has appeared in three Pro Bowls. Although the Viking was humbled by Oakland, 32-14, in Super Bowl XI, White scored one of the losers’ two touchdowns on an 8-yard third period pass from . Following an 11 year career with the Vikings, White coached at Carroll High School in Monroe, LA before returning to Grambling where he enjoyed a 12 year stint as an offensive coach with the Tigers. During his tenure on the coaching staff, he helped the Tigers earn four National Black College and SWAC Championship titles. During those runs, GSU’s offense twice led the nation in passing offense, scoring offense and ranked in the top on several occasions in other categories. White, a member of the Vikings 25th Anniversary team, is married to the former Penny Fortner and they have two children, Sammy III and Samantha.

2010 GSU Tigers Football 134 www.gsutigers.com dougWILLIAMS From All-Ameican Quarterback to Head Coach to NFL Executive History was made in December of 1997 when Doug Williams returned to his alma mater to take over for retired legend Eddie Robinson as the first new head coach at Grambling for more than 50 years. Williams finished six seasons as the “Head Tiger” leading the team to three straight NCAA Division I-AA National Black College and SWAC Championships before leaving the university in February 2004 to take on a new role as a Personnel Executive with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A natural for the positon, having been the most prolific quarterback in Grambling State’s history combined with an outstanding professional career, Williams brought several intangibles to the football program, including his vast football knowledge built on a wealth of experience and a love for Grambling that is unmatched by anyone, anywhere. Williams’ impact on the football program was immediate as the Tigers went from a 3-8 record in 1997 to a 5-6 mark in his first season in 1998. His second season saw even more success as the Tigers finished with a 7-4 mark. Williams third season proved to be the charm with a 10-2 mark en route to their first SWAC title since sharing it with Alcorn State in 1994 and the first outright title since 1989. The Tigers were also named the 2000 National Champions in the NCAA Division I Black College Football Poll. In 2001, Williams proved that the previous year’s success was no fluke as he guided the Tigers to a 10-1 mark en route to both undisputed SWAC and National Black College championships. In 2002, Williams completed the hat trick by leading GSU to its third straight SWAC and National Black College championships with an 11-2 record. At the conclusion each of those three seasons, the Tigers finished in the top ten in several national polls. Also during this stretch, Williams brought home some serious Coach of the Year hardware such as the SWAC; 100% Wrong Club of Atlanta and the Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C. SWAC Coach of the Year awards for three straight years. In addition, he was named the Street and Smith’s Magazine Black College Coach of the Year (2000); Shutt Sports Division I-AA Coach of the Year (2000) and the Sheridan Broadcasting Network Black College Coach of the Year (2001,2002). Growing up as a young boy in the 1960s, Williams could only dream of the day he would get the chance to play in the NFL, let alone quarterback a team to a world championship and earn MVP honors. It was a day and age when black men and women gave up much just to achieve basic equality and imagining a black mas a leader of champions was only a dream in the minds of greats like Martin Luther King Jr. But he would end up turning that dream into his life’s story. Williams attended Chaneyville High School in Zachary, Louisiana in the early 1970s and became a star quarterback for the football team. He was recruited out of high school by Coach Robinson, who was coaching one of the most successful black college football programs at the time at Grambling State. After spending time as a backup early on during his freshman year at Grambling, Williams finally got his chance to start in which he wasted no time in leading the team to victory in the fifth game of the season with a 21-7 victory over Tennessee State. In his first year as a starter, he would help to lead the team to a 10-2 record en route to the both the 1974 SWAC Co-Championship and the National Black College Championship. The Tigers were Williams’ team from that point on as he would go on to start every game that he played at Grambling State. In his sophomore season as a full-time starter, he helped to lead the team to a 10-2 season en route to another National Black College Championship in 1975. In his senior season of 1977, Williams’ passing statistics were staggering in which he would lead the Tigers to a 10-1 record en route to both the SWAC and National Black College Championships while earning SWAC Player of the Year and All-America honors. As a direct result of his efforts, this vaulted him to a fourth place finish in the race behind the University of Texas running back . That spectacular college career earned Williams plenty of attention from NFL scouts and the changing times saw him get selected in the first round of the 1978 NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Williams turned in a strong career at Tampa Bay which included a playoff berth before the fledgling United States Football League gave the young signal caller the respect that he deserved for so long. The Oklahoma Outlaws signed him to a lucrative contract and showed a resounding vote of confidence in him as a true team leader in 1984. Williams led the Outlaws into first place before a knee injury sidelined him halfway through that initial USFL season. He played a second season with the Outlaws until the league suddenly folded in 1985. In 1986, Tampa Bay traded the NFL rights to Williams to the Washington Redskins and a year later he shared the starting quarterback position with the Jay Schroeder. But it was Williams who shined in the postseason, leading the Redskins through the playoffs en route to a 42-10 Super Bowl victory the Denver Broncos in 1988. He was the first black quarterback to ever start in a Super Bowl who made the most of a monumental opportunity by setting several Super Bowl passing records en route being named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Williams is a 1978 graduate of Grambling State who has four children, Ashley, Adrian, Doug Jr. and Jasmine. 2010 GSU Tigers Football 135 www.gsutigers.com paulYOUNGER Tanks for the Memories (GSU: 1945-1948)

Paul Younger, homegrown, moved up to the college varsity in 1945. Before he ran out of eligibility in 1948 he would score a record 60 touchdowns and 369 points ; rush for a nation-leading 1,207 yards in a single season (1947) and 2,631yards in four seasons of eight-and-nine-game schedule; rumble 86 yards for a non-touchdown against Morgan State in 1946, and would become the first of more than 70 Grambling All-American. “He was the fastest man on our team”, appends Robinson. “Most of the time in high school whenever he got the ball he’d score a touchdown. On end-around he was knocking people down. In college he scored a helluva lot of touchdowns, 25 of them as a tackle on end-arounds. His junior year we moved him to running back and defensive halfback.” Eddie Kotal, a scout for the Los Angeles Rams, caught sight of Younger in Birmingham, Alabama, during the now defunct Vulcan Bowl. Tank scored three touchdowns in 28-27 loss to Wilberforce University of Ohio. There are two popular misconceptions connected with Younger’s joining the Rams in 1949.He was not first black player with the Rams, nor was he the first black college player to suit up as a pro in Los Angeles. As far back as 1946, Rams- just one year removed from Cleveland-had signed two stellar black athletes out of UCLA-giant defensive end Woody Strode and all-purpose halfback Kenny Washington. Across LA the rival All-American Conference Dons in 1947 signed two black college players, end Ezzret “Sugarfoot” Anderson from Kentucky State and center-linebacker John Brown from North Carolina Central. Younger, however, would tread new ground as the first black college player in the National Football League. “Just like the film, ‘One Hundred Yard to Glory,’ if Younger made it, it would open doors for others ball players,’ Robinson of that day and age. “We talked about it quite a bit. When he left here to go to report, he was the best conditional athlete in the Rams’ camp when he got there. All slimmed, and trained like a fighter. He weighed between 218 and 223.” Eddie also imparted some wisdom to Tank: “In dummy drills run out the play 25 to 30 yards. Don’t turn and come back after 10 like the others do. The longer you have the ball under your arm, the longer the man is watching….” The “man” was general manager , later to build a dynasty in Dallas, and the head coach was the innovative plotter of the T-formation, Clark Shaughnessy. Tank gained 191 yards on 52 carries while alternating with Fred Gehrke at fullback in his rookie season and the Rams won the Western Conference. But Younger was not yet being called Tank. His nickname was “Bass Eyes,” a label hung on him by another rookie, quarterback . Younger would tip defenses by rolling his eyes in the direction the play would go, accused the Dutchman. Late in the 1950 season, Younger asked the team’s other quarterback, , “What do you want for Christmas?” “I’d like a tank that runs, “replied Waterfield. This was the birth of “Tank “Younger. The Rams fielded the most explosive offense in NFL history in the fifties. There was Waterfield and Van Brocklin throwing long-rang missiles to , Hirsch and track sprinter Bob Boyd. Running the ball were the Bull Elephants and halfbacks Vitamin T. Smith and Glenn Davis. In the 12- game season of 1950, the attack scored 466 points-more then 38 a game-and they would win by score of 45-28 and 45-35. In one period they ran up 41 points against Detroit. In time, Tank, who stood 6-foot-3, built up to 230 pounds. It was a time of Bull of Elephant. Hoerner led Rams in rushing in 1948-49, Towler from 1951-53 and Younger in 1954 (91 carries, 610 yards). Tank wore his No. 35 jersey nine years with the Rams and finished up as a Pittsburgh Steelers in 1958. His career totals in the NFL were 770 carries and 3,640, yards, 100 catches for 1,167 yards, and 35 touchdowns. He was also a savage blocker and smashing linebacker; the last player selected to both the offensive and defensive All Star teams in the NFL.
