Tre Lamb is in his first season as head coach at Gardner-Webb University. He was named to the position on December 14, 2019. Lamb most recently served as offensive coordinator at Ohio Valley Conference member Tennessee Tech for the past two seasons and has developed a national reputation as a rising star in the coaching industry. Football runs deep in the Lamb family, with Tre Lamb the latest to rise to the position of head coach. His father, Hal, recently retired after a legendary career and three state titles at Calhoun (Ga.) High. His grandfather, Ray, won three state championships during a career that included head coaching stops at Warren County (Ga.) High, Commerce (Ga.) High and Monroe Area (Ga.) High. Uncle Bobby Lamb has more than 100 wins and four national playoff appearances during a Division I coaching career at Furman and Mercer. Lamb was part of a coaching staff at Tennessee Tech in 2019 that engineered one of the biggest turnarounds in Division I FCS nationally. The Golden Eagles won just two games combined in 2017 and 2018, but bumped that win total to six games this past season. THE LAMB FILE Lamb’s offensive mastery was on full display in last season’s opener, as the Golden Eagles racked up 671 yards of total offense in a 59-58 win over Samford. Tennessee Tech went on to score more than 30 points five times in 2019 and finished second in the Ohio Valley Conference in scoring offense (29.0 ppg) and offensive plays (893). COACHING HISTORY The Golden Eagles ranked third in the conference in pass offense and pass efficiency, fourth in rushing offense – and led the OVC in time of possession. 2020-present Gardner-Webb (HC) Quarterback Bailey Fisher broke six Tech records on his way to a second-team All-OVC nod. The sophomore passed for 2,643 yards and 2018-2019 . . . . . Tennessee Tech (OC) 21 touchdowns while rushing for 489 more and 11 scores.

He also had two rushing touchdowns, a 91-yard kick return touchdown and 1,200 all-purpose 2014-2017 . . .Mercer (QB/Passing Game) yards. 2013 ...... Tennessee Tech (QB) Fisher was named the OVC Freshman of the Year under Lamb’s guidance in 2018 and was a finalist for the prestigious STATS FCS Jerry Rice Award. Prior to returning to his alma mater, Lamb called the plays for Mercer in 2017 and spent four seasons as the quarterbacks coach for the Bears. He mentored John Russ to an outstanding career and helped freshman Kaelan Riley to a spot on the Jerry Rice Award Watch List and Southern Conference Freshman of the Year honors in 2017. Lamb served as the quarterbacks coach at Tennessee Tech in 2013. As a player, Lamb played quarterback at Tennessee Tech from 2009-2012, serving as team captain his final three seasons. He led the Golden Eagles to an OVC title in 2011, the program’s first since 1975, and a spot in the NCAA Division I FCS Playoffs for the first time. Lamb was outstanding during his team’s title run, directing an offense that set nine school records, including single-season marks for points HEAD COACHING LEDGER scored (355), scoring average (32.3 ppg) and most first downs in a season (238). The program’s Robert Hill Johnson Award winner, Lamb set three individual school records himself in 2011, establishing new marks for 2020 Gardner-Webb 2-0 single-game attempts and completions and the single-season record for total offense with 2,555 yards.

NATIONAL STATS TOP 20 INDIVIDUAL (CATEGORY) NCAA Big South THE HEAD COACHES

Gardner-Webb’s Tre Lamb is in his first season as a college head coach. The second-youngest head coach in all of Ty French (Tackles for Loss) 1st 1st (3.0) Division I football, Lamb has served as offensive coordinator at his alma mater Tennessee Tech and has called plays Devron Harper (Punt Return TDs) 1st 1st (1) on the Division I level for four seasons. Monmouth head coach Kevin Callahan is in his 28th season as head coach of Ty French (Sacks) 4th 2nd (1.5) the Hawks – and is the only head coach in that program’s football history. Callahan has won 164 times during his career . Narii Gaither (Rush Yards Per Game) 4th 1st (131.0) Narii Gaither (Scoring) 4th 2nd (12.0) A COMEBACK, THEN A BLOWOUT Narii Gaither (All-Purpose Yards) 6th 2nd (171.0) Izaiah Gathings (Receptions Per Game) 8th 1st (8.0) Gardner-Webb kicked off its first ever spring season in style, storming back from an early 17-0 deficit to wallop No. 24 Elon 42-20 on February 27. The Runnin’ Bulldogs ground out 202 yards rushing, scored four rushing touchdowns and Narii Gaither (Yards Per Carry) 8th 1st (7.1) had a special teams score in the win. After Elon’s early lead, Gardner-Webb outscored the Phoenix 42-3 the rest of the Honus Wagner (Sacks) 10th 3rd (1.0) way. In its last two games against Elon (2016, 2021), Gardner-Webb has won twice while outscoring the Phoenix by a Carlton Aiken (Completions Per Game) 11th 1st (24.0) combined 63-0 in the second half. Devron Harper (Kickoff Returns) 13th 1st (25.2) Carlton Aiken (Completion Percentage) 15th 2nd (64.9) THAT FAST MAN Devron Harper (Punt Returns) 15th 1st (8.2) Carlton Aiken (Scoring) 15th 4th (9.0) Multi-talented Devron Harper (5-10, 165, So.) didn’t have a major impact in the passing game vs. No. 24 Elon, but his Carlton Aiken (Total Offense) 15th 2nd (274.0) ability in the return game paid major dividends. Harper had early kickoff returns of 37 and 42 yards – the second set- ting up GWU’s first touchdown – and returned a punt 41 yards to pay dirt at the end of the third quarter. When the dust Ty French (Total Tackles) 15th 4th (10.5) settled, Harper had 138 all-purpose yards and his second career return touchdown. The Conyers, Ga., native followed Ty French (Forced Fumbles) 16th 1st (0.5) up with six catches for 106 yards in the win over Presbyterian and ranks among the national leaders in return yards and Izaiah Gathings (Receiving Yards Per Game) 16th 2nd (96.0) all-purpose yardage.

Gathings extended his Big South-record of 10+ catches and 100+ yards to Carlton Aiken (Passing Yards Per Game) 20th 3rd (231.5) five games in the season opener – hauling in 10 passes for 126 yards. Gathings caught 71 passes for 1,046 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, doing a large percentage of his damage in Big South Conference games. As a result he earned preseason FCS All-America honors from Hero Sports and College Sports Journal. Gathings missed the fourth quarter and overtime vs. Presbyterian with an ankle sprain, but is back at full strength. His streak was snapped as a result, as he finished with six catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. TEAM CATEGORY NCAA Big South TEAM CAPTAINS Winning Percentage 1st 1st (1.000) Team Sacks 2nd 1st (5.0) Gardner-Webb named five permanent team captains prior to the 2021 spring season.

Something will have to give on Saturday. Gardner-Webb enters the game with the nation’s No. 4 rusher (Narii Gaither) and the nation’s No. 5 rushing defense (51.0 yards per game). Monmouth has the nation’s No. 5 rusher (Juwan Farii) and the No. 2 rushing defense (28.0 yards per game).

THE BIG DOGS

Gardner-Webb’s success on the ground through two games can be directily attributed to a retooled offensive line that has emphasized building depth and using its versatility. Six men have started so far, with Dan Wittekind (6-3, 305, Gr.), Gabe Thompson (6-3, 321, R-Fr.), Travis Polson (6-3, 274, R-Fr.) and Clayton Frady (6-5, 295, Fr.) starting both games. Kyle Schneider (6-4, 288, So.) and Will Webster (6-4, 285, Gr.) have each started one game so far. Talented veteran Jack Nichols (6-3, 308, Sr.) has been vital in the rotation at guard, leaning on the experience of 34 college starts. Carter Francis (6-2, 280, R-So.) has also been a big part of the rotation, playing both guard and center. Mike Brooks (6-3, 320, R-Fr.) is also a big factor and can play center, guard or tackle when needed. Coach Jake Thornton’s bunch has pushed the ‘Dogs to an average of 211.5 yards on the ground so far.

SACK LUNCHES

In 2019, Gardner-Webb’s pass rush produced just 10 sacks in 12 games. Through two spring dates, Gardner-Webb’s pass rush has equalled that total, while adding 24 tackles for loss and an eye-popping 15 quarterback pressures. The pass rush hasn’t been limited to phenom Ty French (6-3, 242, Fr.), as nine different ‘Dogs have been in on a sack this spring. GWU has seen 14 men in on tackles for loss through two games. 2021 GARDNER-WEBB FOOTBALL GAME NOTES

ZERO PROBLEMS

Quarterback Carlton Aiken and defensive end Shai Thomas were the first Gardner-Webb players to ever wear the #0 jersey in a college game for the Runnin’ Bulldogs. The jersey number was previously unavailable as a choice until a recent NCAA rules change.

AGENT ZERO

Defensive Player of the Week Quarterback Carlton Aiken (6-2, 231, Gr.) has made clutch plays a part of his early work in a Gardner-Webb uniform. Janathian Turner Jr. DL GWU The Paulsboro, N.J., native overcame three interceptions vs. No. 24 Elon to make several key throws and bulldoze in for a pair of touchdowns in a 42-20 win. He followed up by passing for a career-best 297 yards and two touchdowns vs. Honus Wagner Jr. LB GWU Presbyterian while adding a 30-yard touchdown run. Aiken, who played two seasons at Division II Pace University, has Bryce Armstrong Sr. LB KSU two runs of 20+ yards this season to date. Bryce Armstrong Sr. LB KSU Lorenzo Hernandez Jr. DT MON HE’S NOT SHAI

Gardner-Webb defender Shai Thomas (6-2, 271, Sr.) has been in the mix for All-Big South Conference honors at line- backer for the past two seasons, narrowly missing out on postseason honors. A genuine need for a pass rusher in the new defensive scheme and Thomas adding nearly 20 pounds of muscle to his frame meant a move down to defensive end for the Anderson, S.C., native. He has 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack and five pressures so far in 2021.

SEEING DOUBLE

Gardner-Webb will, for the first time in its history, have players in double jersey numbers for the 2021 season and beyond. Players in jerseys 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 13, 14 and 15 have spots on both sides of the ball. The NCAA rule allowing double jersey numbers simply states that those players cannot be on the field at the same time. This is the first season Gardner-Webb has taken advantage of the opportunity. Special Teams Player of the Week Devron Harper So. KR GWU CONFERENCE OPENERS Jack Pawloski Gr. P GWU Nathan Robertson So. PK KSU Since joining the Big South Conference for football in 2002, Gardner-Webb has gone 9-9 in league openers. GWU won Nathan Robertson So. PK KSU its 2019 lid lifter in conference, smacking Hampton 35-27 on October 12 for a Homecoming win. Gardner-Webb and Monmouth have never faced off in a Big South opener. Alex Usry Sr. PK CSU THE MAYOR

Running back Narii Gaither (5-10, 177, So.) brings a healthy dose of positivity to all that he does. His breakout game against No. 24 Elon was no surprise, as he sparked Gardner-Webb’s effective ground game with 19 carries for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He followed with 18 carries for 151 yards and another score – and caught the game-winning pass in overtime. Gaither’s 96-yard jaunt was a school and conference record. He now has three of Gardner-Webb’s five explosive plays in the run game and ranks No. 4 nationally in rushing yards per game (131.0). The Rock Hill, S.C., native has already rushed for more yards in two games than he did in all of 2019.

MORE YOUTH

Freshman of the Week Gardner-Webb started six freshmen vs. No. 24 Elon, and all six played a major role in the win. In addition to Ty French, linebacker William McRainey (6-0, 217, Fr.) made his career debut and finished with six total tackles (four solo) Ty French Fr. DE GWU in a strong performance. The offensive line featured three freshmen starters, including tackles Travis Polson (6-3, Ty French Fr. DE GWU 274, R-Fr.) and Clayton Frady (6-5, 295, Fr.) along with guard Gabe Thompson (6-3, 321, R-Fr.). Tight end Anthony Tyler Scott Fr. DL KSU Herock (6-3, 235, Fr.) also started and had a 13-yard catch. Tight end Deland Thomas (6-4, 238, R-Fr.) started against Presbyterian. Cade Loden Fr. DB KSU Tony Muskett Fr. QB MON UP NEXT

Gardner-Webb will have an open date on April 10 before closing out the 2021 spring season on the road at Charleston Southern on April 17. Kickoff for that game is set for Noon (ESPN+). 2021 GARDNER-WEBB FOOTBALL GAME NOTES
