Aycock coached the Golden Bulls to a 6-5 record in 2011, followed by a 6-4 finish in 2012; the team’s first time with consecutive winning seasons since 1972-73. Aycock has over 18 years of coaching experience as an assistant and offensive lineman coach. He has brought enthusiasm, passion, tenacity, and a thorough understanding of football from various aspects. “I am determined to make Johnson C. Smith football a powerhouse in the CIAA and in Division II football,” says Aycock. “I will utilize my opportunity to showcase my knowledge of the game through my coaching experiences and develop our student-athletes into better players and people.” As a part of the previous football coaching staff in 1996, Aycock helped the Golden Bulls orchestrate an impressive 7-3 record, the first time in 15 years that the program recorded a winning season. Aycock not only brings a new energy to Golden Bull football, but he symbolizes a new era at JCSU. He is determined to guide the program in the direction of conference championship contenders and an elite in Division II college football. versus Bowie State Saturday, September 14, 2013 | 2:00 pm ET ALPHABETICAL ROSTER OLDEN ULLS OOTBALL OSTER NO NAME G CL BPOS HT FWT Hometown R Major 11 Andrew Alexander Jr. QB 1 Keahn Wallace Jr. QB 6-2 210 Miami, FL Sports Management 31 Anthony Allen Jr. LB 2 Fred Scott So.
