The Department of Athletics fully embraces the University's mission
and enacts its policies, procedures, and initiatives with both the letter and
the spirit of that purpose.
The administration and staff of the department of athletics espouse a
student-oriented philosophy, which ranks academic achievement as the
number one priority for its student-athletes.
Towards this end, the Department is committed to providing a com-
prehensive intercollegiate athletics program for men and women, which
promotes the academic, physical, social, psychological, and total develop-
ment of the student-athlete.
Further, the Department is committed to working collaboratively with
other constituents of the University to ensure the production of competent,
contributing graduates who are capable of making the transition from uni-
versity life to the workplace and into today’s multicultural society.
Embodied within this mission statement is the concept of an ethical
athletics program which values success in competition, success in aca-
demic and personal development of student-athletes, and success in main-
taining full compliance with the rules of the University, the National
Collegiate Athletic Association, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, and
Title IX.
In addition, the department embraces the NCAA's Principles of
Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct. Coaches, student-athletes, cheerlead-
ers, boosters, faculty, staff and all who support intercollegiate athletics are
committed to the fundamental values of respect, fairness, civility, honesty,
and responsibility.
Strict adherence to these principles promotes character development.

South Carolina State 4 Bulldog FootBall
2011 outlookLast season, for the first time in three
years, SC State did not win or share the
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title
and for the first time since the 2007
campaign, the Bulldogs were on the
sideline for the Football Championship
Subdivision (FCS) playoffs. That feel-
ing was not an enjoyable one for head
coach Buddy Pough and his staff, nei-
ther did it sit well with the Bulldog play-
ers. All involved hope to regain the
spotlight enjoyed by Norfolk State for
2011.
During the off-season and fall,
Pough, his staff and players have had an
opportunity to make improvements that
will ensure that the Bulldogs are in the
hunt for the 2012 MEAC title and a re-
turn to the FCS playoffs, which will
have a 24 team field, beginning in 2013.
Despite relying on a lot of newcomers
in 2011 – the Bulldogs played 13 true
freshmen and a total of 21 first-year
players if you included eight redshirt
freshmen – Pough’s team came within a
couple of field goals of a fourth straight
MEAC title and an undefeated league
campaign. SC State’s league losses were
both by three points, 14-17 at Norfolk
State and 24-27 to Florida A&M.
In both losses, the Bulldogs had
trouble in short-yardage situations, fail-
ing to move the chains on 4th - and
short. That area should be improved in
as the 2012 SC State offense has been
strengthened up the middle through ad-
justments and recruiting additions, ac-
cording to Pough.
Overall, in 2012, SC State will have
more depth than it has enjoyed the last
two seasons. The talent level, especially
on offense, should be comparable to
2011, however, experience will be lack-
ing at some positions. And, the defense
will have a lot of new faces, including
youthful replacements in the secondary,
outside linebacker and the “Dog” and
“Bandit” positions. A look at the Bull-
dogs by position is below:
QuarterBaCk
Veterans Richard Cue (6-1, 180
r-Jr.) and Derrick Wiley (6-1, 190 r-Sr.),
along with Wiley’s younger brother
Tedarrius Wiley (6-1, 180 r-So.) will
battle for the starting duties at quarter-
back. Cue and Derrick Wiley have the
most experience of the three and should
be able to flourish in a Bulldog offense
that has been tweaked to take advantage
of their skills. Derrick Wiley, who was
the top backup to record-setting Mal-
colm Long for two seasons, started the
2011 campaign but sustained a season-
ending knee injury against Norfolk State
and Cue stepped in to guide the team in
the final six games.
South Carolina State 5 Bulldog FootBall
2012 Bulldog outlook
Cue finished the year with 80 com-
pletions in 147 attempts for 900 yards
and seven touchdowns. The Florence
native, who was 5-1 in six starts, suf-
fered six interceptions. He emerged
from spring drills as the likely starter,
however, if Derrick Wiley bounces
back strong from his injury, he could
be right back in the mix. The Rocking-
ham, NC native was 58 of 115 attempts
with six touchdowns and three inter-
ceptions before being forced to the
sidelines. Tedarrius Wiley is talented,
had a solid spring showing and will
also get a look at the signal calling du-
ties. In addition, two quarterbacks who
had outstanding seasons as high school
seniors, are among the Bulldog recruits
and will be looked at.
wide reCeiver
The wide receiver group is one of
the most experienced areas for SC
State this season. All three starters –
Caleb Davis (5-11, 172 r-Jr.), Tyler
McDonald (6-3, 190 Jr.) and Thomas
Williams (6-0, 195 r-Sr.) -- from the
2011 squad return, and will be joined
by the league’s top receiver from 2010,
Lennel Elmore, who missed all of last
year due to academic deficiencies. Mc-
Donald, of Summerville, was the
team’s top pass catcher with 41 catches
for 573 yards and four touchdowns, in-
cluding a 69-yard TD reception against
Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS)
member Indiana. Davis was right be-
hind McDonald with 36 receptions for
467 yards and two scores. His 71-yard
scoring pass against Delaware State
was the longest of the season for the
Bulldogs, who also got 17 catches
from Williams, totaling 208 yards,
with two scoring receptions.
Also expected to contribute at
wide receiver are Dennis Rowe (6-4,
190 r-So.), Marcus Lloyd (6-3, 210 r-
Jr.), Santez Emory (6-2, 180 r-Jr.), con-
verted cornerback Austin Smith (6-1,
190 So.) and newcomer Taquan West
(6-4, 210 Fr.). Pough and his staff
would like to see the Bulldog receives
become more physical on the field.
tight end
Two-year starter Antwanne
Kerr has moved on but a pair of veter-
ans in Trent Barnes (6-3, 250 r-Jr.) and
Dwight Brannon (6-2, 230 r-Sr.) will
still be available to Coach Pough and
his staff. Barnes, of Dublin, Ga.
emerged from spring drills as the
starter but Brannon, a Jonesville native
who missed spring workouts due to a
shoulder injury, is expected to push
him. The two were used only sparingly
last season and had just one catch be-
tween them, a 13-yarder by Brannon.
In 2012, the Bulldogs hope to involve
the tight end in the offense more, that
is if they step up and demonstrate qual-
ity and efficiency at the position. Also
expected to see playing time at the po-
sition is Temmarick Hemmingway (6-
5, 220 r-Fr.), who was sharp in the
spring and may also lineup at fullback
at times.
running BaCk
SC State can find a great deal
of talent and depth at running back.
Four players who have started at one
time or another are on the 2012 roster.
Leading the pack is Asheton Jordan (6-
0, 205 r-Sr.), the most experienced and
last year’s top rusher. Jordan, a Sum-
merville native, ran for 774 yards and
five scores last season as the featured
back for the Bulldogs. He had a career-
high 226 yards in a 49-38 win over
North Carolina Central. Jalen Sim-
mons (5-8, 205 So.), an explosive and
hard-nosed runner of Charlotte, NC,
started two games as a true freshman
in 2011 and is expected to see a lot of
action. He finished his freshman cam-
paign with 304 yards and two touch-
downs in 70 tries.
In addition to Jordan and Sim-
mons, the Bulldogs can call on senior
Chris Merrill (5-9, 200 r-Sr.) of Simp-
sonville who had only 22 carries for 96
yards last season in 11 games, but gal-
loped for over 200 yards in his only
start in 2010, and Washington, DC na-
tive Charles Brown (5-11, 210 r-So.),
who started four games at fullback in
2011 and ranks as one of the top high
school runners from the DC area.
Brown saw action in 10 games, finish-
ing with 34 yards on 35 carries. The
Bulldog backfield may be further
crowded by the continued develop-
ment of fullback Brent Dubose (6-0,
230 r-So.) of Darlington and the addi-
tion of redshirt freshman Dondre
Lewis-Freeman (5-7, 190 r-Fr.) of
Charlotte and newcomer Dondre
Brown (6-1, 236 Fr.) of Varnville.
oFFenSive line
Despite the loss of All-MEAC per-
former and All-American Juavahr
Nathan, a four-year starter, the SC
State offensive line is solid as four
starters from last year’s squad are back.
rB-asheton Jordan
South Carolina State 6 Bulldog FootBall
2012 Bulldog outlookAnchoring the line will be guard
Sam Hammond (6-3, 300 r-Sr.) of
Union, the oldest and most experi-
enced and a candidate for All-MEAC
accolades. Surrounding Hammond are
talented center Tristan Bellamy (6-3,
305 r-Jr.), a Johnston native and also a
candidate for post season honors, and
tackle Domanic Wilson (6-5, 280 r-
So.) of Lake City, a real surprise last
season. Bellamy and Wilson each
started all 11 contests in 2011.
The line is bolstered by veter-
ans Erskine Johnson (6-2, 285 r-Jr.) of
Conway, Gideon Scott (6-3, 310 Sr.) of
Atlanta, converted tight end Lambert
Givens (6-3, 280 r-Jr.) of Avon, CT,
and a pair of outstanding second-year
players – Jairon “Shaq” Harrison (6-3,
210 So.) of Charleston and Devin
Flowers (6-3, 295 So.) of Charlotte.
Harris started six games and Flowers
five at guard last year and held their
own. Also expected to provide quality
play on the line are redshirt freshman
Avery Grant (6-3, 295 r-Fr.) of Mullins
and Cephas “CJ” Wilson (6-4, 285 r-
So.), a redshirt sophomore of Colum-
bia.
The Bulldogs, who should
field a physical and cohesive unit in
2012, may also get some help on the
interior line from redshirts Raheim
Barr (6-3, 270 r-Fr.) of Timmonsville
and Charles Henderson (6-4, 270 r-Fr.)
and its 2012 freshman class.
deFenSive SeCondary
The secondary was hit hard by
the loss of two of the best defensive
players on the 2011 squad – safeties
Christian Thompson (a 4th-round pick
by the Baltimore Ravens) and Do-
minique Ellis (a free-agent selection by
the Kansas City Chiefs). There will be
some concerns about overall depth but
leadership should come from the likes
of Cortney Ingram (5-10, 190 Sr.) of
Milledgeville, Ga., who will man the
“Dog” position, and Darius Drum-
mond (5-11, 190 Jr.) of Asheville, NC
and Virginia Beach native Mason Har-
ris (5-10, 175 r-Jr.) and the corners. In-
gram started six games last season,
recording 47 total tackles, 35 unas-
sisted and six behind the line.
Drummond, who was also a big hit
as a punt returner, started nine of the
10 games he appeared in and was in on
44 total tackles, 31 solos and added
two interceptions and eight pass
breakups, a team high, while Mason,
who saw action in eight games,
recorded 23 tackles, 17 unassisted,
with two picks.
Joining that trio in the second-
ary will be veteran corners Yari King
(5-9, 180 r-Sr.), a one-time starter of
Irmo, SC, and New Zion native Josh
McFadden (6-9, 175 r-Sr.), a top
backup the last two seasons, Jeremy
White (5-10, 175 Jr.) of Columbia, the
top reserve at “Dog,” along with
youngsters Stephen Murhpy (6-1, 180
So.) of Kingsland, Ga., who broke into
the starting lineup as a true freshman
last season at cornerback but is the
leading candidate at strong safety in
2012, Dominique Mitchell (5-10, 180
So.) of Miramar, FL, and Davious
Chestnut (5-11, 170 r-Fr.) of Heming-
way and transfer Kimaro McFadden
(5-11, 200 Jr.) of Riverdale, Ga., who
will battle for starting duties at safety.
Also expected to contribute are Julius
Pendergrass (5-8, 170 So) of Chester,
who moves over from wide receiver,
and Georgia transfer Jakar Hamilton
(6-1, 200 Sr.) of Johnston,SC, redshirt
freshman Mariel Cooper (5-11, 175 r-
Fr.) of Sumter, and freshmen Marquise

lineBaCker
The Bulldog linebacker corps
sustained some deep losses in All-
MEAC performer Donovan Richard (a
free-agent signee by the Jacksonville
Jaguars) and steady LaTaris Douglas,
the starting “Bandit” in the 3-4 defen-
sive set. There is some concern at line-
backer as talented Joe Thomas (6-0,
230 r-Jr.) of Blackville is the lone re-
turning starter at the position. Thomas,
however, is one of the most outstand-
ing players on the Bulldog defense.
The All-MEAC candidate moves from
the WLB position to inside at the MLB
post. He was second on the team in
tackles last season with 100, including
a team-high 67 solos, with five tackles
for loss, two sacks and a team-leading
three interceptions. Thomas will be
joined by a bevy of players who played
pivotal roles as backups last season.
Alex Glover (6-1, 220 So.) of Char-
lotte, NC and Terrell Fitts of Augusta,
Ga., are expected to battle for the start-
ing duties at “Bandit,” while Justin
Hughes (6-1, 220 So.) of Virginia
Beach and Jerel Miller (5-11, 230 r-Jr.)
of Rock Hill emerged from spring
drills 1-2 on the depth chart in a battle
to take over at WLB.

South Carolina State 7 Bulldog FootBall
2012 Bulldog outlookSC State will also look to its fresh-
man class for help. Expected to battle
for some playing time are Reggie
Owens (6-2, 220 Fr.) of Statesboro,
Ga., and Michael Wilson (5-11, 200
Fr.) of St. Stephen.
deFenSive line
This year’s defensive line will
be young but talented. Only two play-
ers – nose guard James “JD” Fulwood
(6-3, 285 r-Sr.) of Sumter and James
Island native and tackle Leon Smith
(6-0, 290 Sr.) -- with starting experi-
ence are back. There are, however, a
number of talented players who pro-
vided solid depth in backup roles in
2011. They include tackle and Colum-
bia native Curtis Hill (6-1, 295 r-So.),
ends Arnett James (6-3, 250 Gr.) of
Florence and Andrew Carter (6-1, 240
So.) of Hamlet, NC., along with veter-
ans Malcolm Reed (6-2, 270 r-Jr.) of
Fayetteville, Ga., and Montrey Pride
(6-4, 240 r-Jr.) of Tampa, FL.
The defensive line, which lost
two starters in Ronell Ferguson and Pat
Washington, both of who garnered
postseason honors, will get a big boost
by the return of Marquis Parks (6-3,
270 r-So.) of Lincolnton, Ga., who saw
action as a starter in 2010 but missed
all of the 2011 campaign. He should
start at the left end position. Also ex-
pected to contribute are talented red-
shirt freshmen James Robinson (6-4,
240 r-Fr.) of Goose Creek and Chris
Daniels (6-4, 240 r-Fr.) of Effingham,
and true freshman Javon Hargraves (6-
2, 295 Fr.) of Salisbury, NC.
SpeCialiStS
One of the Bulldogs’ biggest
losses from the 2011 squad was spe-
cialist Blake Erickson, who handled
both the placekicking and punting as a
four-year starter. A two-time All-
American, Erickson rewrote the SC
State record books as a kicker and will
be sorely missed. Penciled in as his re-
placement at placekicker coming out
of spring drills is Nick Belcher (5-
9,170 r-Jr.) of Sumter, the top backup
in 2010 who missed all of last season
due to academic deficiencies. Belcher
will be pushed by for placekicking and
kickoff duties by transfer Will Roper
(5-11, 195 r-So.) of Hendersonville,
NC, who redshirted last season.
Belcher also earned the starting duties
as punter and will be backed up by
first-year player David Gammon (6-0,
155 r-Fr.) of Central.
Nathan Smith (5-11, 210 r-Jr.), who
missed the 2011 campaign due to in-
jury, is back for the 2012 season and
will share the long snapper duties with
David Davis (6-2, 180 Fr.) of Colum-
bia who handled those chores last year.
Smith will also be the holder on field
goals.
In the return department, SC State
will look to Drummond and Murphy
on punts and Simmons and Elmore on
kickoffs. All are very talented and can
go the distance anytime. Drummond
had 20 punt returns for an average of
13.6 yards and a 68 yarder for a score
last year. Simmons averaged 21.0
yards on kickoff returns in 2011.

Oliver Cromwell Dawson had a long andunparalleled career as a coach, athletic di-rector, professor and administrator at SouthCarolina State College (now South Car-olina State University) during a forty-oneyear tenure (1935-76) at the institution.
Dawson, affectionately called "the Manfor all Seasons," coached five major sportsat South Carolina State, beginning in 1935until he retired in 1976.
The Thomaston, Georgia native, whogrew a up in Cleveland, Ohio, served ashead football coach from 1940 to 1950, andalso coached basketball, tennis, track andfield, and golf. He won championships ineach of the sports except track and field.
Dawson attended John Carroll Univer-sity in Cleveland (1930-34), before earninghis bachelor’s at South Carolina State in1936.
He received his master’s from New YorkUniversity in 1947 and did further study atDenver University and West Virginia Uni-versity.
During his head football coaching tenure,which was interrupted by World War II(1943-45), Dawson compiled only a mod-est record of 30-29-7, however, his teamsfinished in the upper division of the South-ern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference(SIAC) every year except one, and the

South Carolina State uniVerSity, a senior comprehen-sive teaching institution, is committed to providing affordable and ac-cessible quality undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Thispublic university, with a student population between 4,000 and 5,000,is located in Orangeburg, an area that has a traditional rural, agricul-tural economy which has expanded to include a business and indus-trial focus that is national and international in scope. South CarolinaState University’s 1890 land grant legacy of service to the citizenry ofthe state is ensured through its collaborative efforts with local, rural,and statewide businesses, public education, colleges and industry. Thissymbiotic relationship provides a catalyst that spurs a reciprocal eco-nomic and social growth for the University, state, nation and the international community at large.
South Carolina State uniVerSity, through instruction, research and service activities, prepares highly skilled,competent, economically and socially aware graduates to meet life’s challenges and demands that enable them to work andlive productively in a dynamic, global society. Since 1896, South Carolina State uniVerSity has maintained alegacy of excellence in education. The University has been home to generations of scholars and leaders in business, militaryservice, government, athletics, education, medicine, science, engineering technology and more.
THE MISSION OF SC STATE UNIVERSITY A BRIEF HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITYFounded in 1896 as the state’s sole public college for black youth, South Carolina State uniVerSity has playeda key role in the education of African-Americans in the state and nation. As a land-grant institution, it struggled to provideagricultural and mechanical training to generations of black youngsters.
Through its extension program, it sent farm and home demonstration agents into rural counties to provide knowledge and in-formation to impoverished black farm families.
The University has educated scores of teachers for the public schools. It provided education in sciences, literature, and his-tory. The support of the Rosenwald Fund and the General Education Board helped the institution survive the Depression.
After World War II, the state legislature created a graduate program and a law school at South Carolina State uni-
VerSity to prevent black students from enrolling in the University of South Carolina’s graduate and legal education pro-grams. The legislature also dramatically increased funding at the college in an effort to make “separate but equal” a reality inhigher education in South Carolina. During the 1950s and 1960s hundreds of STATE students participated in local civil rightsdemonstrations and were arrested. In 1968 three young men were slain and 27 wounded on the campus by state highway pa-trolmen in the Orangeburg Massacre.
Since 1966, STATE has been open to non-African American students and faculty, but it has largely retained its mission andcharacter as an historically black institution. In 1971, the agricultural program was terminated and the college farm was trans-formed into a community recreation center, consisting of a golf course and soccer, softball and baseball fields. Today there arenearly 5000 students majoring in a wide range of programs that include agribusiness, accounting, art, English, and drama aswell as fashion merchandising, physics, psychology, and political science.
