Davidson Radio Network

a power rusher who pounds his waythrough the line. But the stocky Hubbardcan break away from the defense with sur-prising speed.

Coach Toop will not fret with Hubbardor senior Christian Hunt at tailback. Similarto Leverett in terms of style, Hunt missedthe first four games last season, then scam-pered 70 yards on just four carries in hisfirst action. He averaged 6.7 yards on his 17rushes in 2003, and the year before Huntled the team with 116 carries.

“I couldn’t ask for better talent at tail-back than what this team has,” Toop said.Leverett is going to finish his career as oneof Davidson’s best rushers ever, and theother two have the ability to start as well.”

Fullback is another story altogether.Already thin at the position, the Wildcatslost a pair of fullbacks before preseasontraining even started, leaving the untestedsophomore duo of Mike Chapman andKevin Wright. Chapman has added 30pounds to his frame since enteringDavidson last year, giving him the bulk toblock. Wright, meanwhile, is making aposition change from wide receiver.

ReceiversGraduated are Davidson’s all-time leader

in receiving yards (Barrett Johnson) andanother with more than 1,000 career yards(Randall Hardy). But the Wildcats do boastsophomore Brett Dioguardi, who enjoyedthe finest freshman season ever for aDavidson receiver, and a pair of sure-hand-ed juniors in Jake Rice and Brian Purcell.

“You can’t replace a Barrett Johnson,”noted Toop, “but with Brett we have one ofthe top receiving threats in the league. Wemay not have the experience at wideout,but that just means it is someone else’s timeto step up and prove himself.”

2004 Season Outlook


- 4 -

Now that the string of consecutive win-ning seasons has come to an end at five, thebig question for the Davidson Wildcat foot-ball squad is whether or not it can get backto its winning ways.

Historically speaking, the outlook is notvery good. Twice previously Davidson hadfive straight winning seasons — 1914-18 and1954-58. After that initial streak, the ’Catssuffered through five seasons without a win-ning record. The next time, Davidson wentsix years with more losses than victories.

But Davidson head coach Mike Toopwill not throw up his hands and surrenderthe next several seasons.

“How we perform has nothing to dowith what happened 40 or 50 years ago, oreven five years ago,” Toop commented.“Our success will be determined by howhard we work, how committed we are tobeing a winning football team. We have tal-ent and we have experience; we just needto improve on our consistency in the basicfundamentals — tackling, blocking, throw-ing and catching.”

Position by position, here are the con-tenders who will have to prove they are upto the challenge of bringing back winningfootball to Davidson.

QuarterbackWith just one quarterback on the roster

that is not a freshman, the Wildcats openthe season with senior Damion White asthe field general. If there is one athlete onthe squad whose top priority is consistency,White is that player. He threw for 1,266yards in 2003, 1,017 of which came in afour-game span during the middle of theseason. Those four games also happened tobe Davidson’s best stretch, going 3-1 with anear-upset of then-top-ranked Dayton.

White has the ability to burn a defensewith his right arm or his legs. But how herebounds from last year’s season-endingknee surgery could be the key to his season.

“The ability is there with Damion, noquestion about it,” stated Toop. “What weneed is for him to be ready each and everygame and be consistent. He can make somevery exciting plays, but consistency andintelligent decisions will be most important.”

Running BacksWithout a doubt, tailback is Davidson’s

deepest position with three excellent rush-ers, led by All-PFL senior tri-captain JohnLeverett. Last year, Leverett became just thethird Wildcat to amass 1,000 yards in a sea-son and the third to surpass 2,000 yards fora career. He also accounted for all but onerushing touchdown. A slashing runner whocombines speed and power, Leverett needs1,005 more yards in his final campaign tobecome the school’s all-time leading rusher.

Providing a different, yet just as effec-tive, rushing attack will be JonathonHubbard. The 5-7, 220-pound sophomore is

Dioguardi was the second-leadingreceiver in his first season with the ’Cats,catching 30 passes for 542 yards, bothmarks being school records for a freshman.He possesses all the characteristics of apotentially-dominant receiver — speed,quickness, sure hands and fearlessness.

Beyond Dioguardi, however, the experi-ence level is not very high. Rice is the onlyother wideout that has caught even onepass in his career with six receptions.Purcell, meanwhile, served as a defensiveback last year.

One sophomore who could figure intothe mix as well is Robert Manire. He hasshown more improvement than anyone onthe roster through determination and agreat work ethic.

At tight end, the ’Cats feature returningjunior starter Jordan Sundheim. The sec-ond-leading returning receiver, Sundheimhas terrific football instincts that enable thecoaches the luxury of possibly placing himin the backfield at fullback as well.

Also vying for time at tight end will besophomore Jackson Whetsel, who is mak-ing the transition from quarterback.

Offensive LineExperience is not an issue among the

front five on offense. All five projectedstarters, including three sophomores, startednearly every game for Davidson in 2003.Even the reserves have seen a considerableamount of game action. But improved block-ing will be necessary for the offense to besuccessful. The Wildcats allowed 41 sackslast year, by far the most in the league.

“We went through some growing painson the line last year with three freshmenstarting,” acknowledged Toop. “But they allgot important game experience which willonly help with their development.”

The dean of the line is senior left tackleBlair Reynolds, a four-year starter chargedwith protecting the quarterback’s blindside. He is a formidable physical presencewith good quickness. Over the years he haslined up at both tackles and understandsthe offensive schemes as well as anyone.

Sophomore Michael Iafrate is steppinginto the starting center position. Perhaps theWildcats’ best blocker, Coach Toop likenshim to two-time All-PFL center Jon Davis’03. One of the strongest players on theteam, Iafrate provides a low center of gravi-ty and is a fundamentally-sound blocker.

Joining Reynolds on the left side will bejunior guard Elliott Culter, who has started13 straight games dating back to 2002. Lastyear he was the center, but the positionshift should play better to his strengths.

The right side of the line will be mannedby sophomore guard Derrick Thompsonand either senior Josh Layfield or sopho-more Jeremy Bloxson at tackle. BothThompson and Bloxson started eight gamesas rookies, while Layfield has continued to

Wildcats make a run for the PFL Championship.

improve throughout his career.Junior Ryan Arnold has the potential to

be a tremendous force up front and willcertainly push to start at either guard,while senior Jonathan Hughes was unfortu-nately lost to an injury.

Defensive LineDisruption is the name of the game for

Davidson’s defensive linemen. Sacks showup in the stat lines, but penetrating the lineand creating chaos in the backfield is thekey to an effective defense.

The Wildcats are looking to replace theirbest disruptor, PFL South Co-DefensivePlayer of the Year Darryl Childers, who ledthe conference and tied a school recordwith 11.0 sacks last season. Seniors ChrisLeftwich and David Welch are being count-ed on to help apply some of that pressure.

Leftwich is coming off a somewhat disap-pointing junior season in which he did notregister one sack. A return to form will go along way in improving the defensive front.

Playing at the other end will be Welch,who won a starting role after excellentspring practices. Throughout his career hehas displayed a knack for penetrating theline and will get a full-time opportunity tobe a nuisance in the opposing backfield.

At nose guard, sophomore Jim Walter isthe anchor of the defensive line. He is quickoff the snap and has the strength to barrelhis way through the line. If he improves ashe did during his freshman season, Waltercould very well earn All-PFL honors.

Waiting in the wings are several playersthat will get opportunities to display theirtalents as linemen. Seniors Byers Bowenand Brendan Zeigler will spell Walter atnose guard, while sophomores Dan Pelland Brendan Watkins will see plenty ofaction on the ends. All four missed timelast year with injuries, so staying in goodhealth will go a long way in determiningthe effectiveness of the linemen.

“All of these guys will contribute upfront,” Toop stated. “How well they do theirjobs — mainly upsetting the flow of theopposing offense — will directly reflect onhow well everyone else can do their jobs.”

2004 Season Outlook


- 5 -

LinebackersOnce again, the linebackers will be the

Wildcats’ greatest strength on defense.Senior Raleigh Robinson and juniorAlex Arinsmier return to start atthe inside linebacking spots,while senior tri-captain BrendanDete is back on the outside. Theonly new starter among thesefour is senior MarkNesselroad, who has been aregular contributor the pastcouple of seasons.

“As with any team, leader-ship is an important factor forsuccess,” said Toop. “The experience andability of these linebackers give us notonly terrific leadership by example, butalso a vocal force for the defensive unit.”

Last year, Arinsmier emerged as oneof the top tacklers in the league. Hegot an opportunity to start due toan injury and he made the mostof it, racking up at least 10 tack-les in four of the final five games.

Robinson, slowed somewhatby various injuries, still man-aged to amass 62 tackles,fifth most among the’Cats. He is a headyplayer with an amaz-ing ability to strip the football; over thepast two years he has forced six fumbles.

Whether rushing the passer, stoppingthe run or falling back into pass protection,Dete has excelled on the gridiron. He hasnine career sacks and 25 career tacklesbehind the line of scrimmage. But it is hisboundless energy that serves as an inspira-tion to his teammates during games.

What the Wildcats lack in experienceamong the reserves ,they more than makeup for in talent. Junior Niel Andrews wasforced to sit out last season with a torn ACL,but is fully recovered and expected to playan integral role on the outside. Fellow juniorPreston Moore made a position switch tolinebacker during the 2003 season, andsophomores Chris Castillo and Tim Mitchellwill provide solid depth at the position.

Defensive BacksWhereas inexperience among the defen-

sive backs — particularly on the corners —was a serious concern a year ago, Davidsonenters the 2004 season with a solid corps inthe secondary. Senior tri-captain KevinSaunders returns at free safety to dish outthe hard hits. Last year he led the Wildcatsand ranked fifth in the PFL in tackles.

At strong safety will be junior RickyChilders. He has terrific instincts ondefense, plus is well-suited for the rovingrole. He and Saunders will comprise one ofthe most feared safety tandems in the PFL.

On the corners, the Wildcats have threeproven performers to mix and match.Seniors Frankie Jones and Zack Drozda,

along with junior Yeatts Anderson, are alladept at blanketing the opposition.Anderson emerged during his sophomoreseason as perhaps the best cover man, butinjuries limited his time on the field.

A healthy Jones will be crucial to thesecondary. He has missed several

games the past couple of seasons,but when on the field Jones hasprovided good coverage. One of

last year’s league leaders inpasses defended, Drozda is aconsistent performer whowill once again be a keycontributor, both at corner-back and on special teams.

Also pushing for playingtime will be sophomoreBrandon Baila after missing2003 with a torn ACL.

Special TeamsKicking is one of

the biggest questionmarks facing the’Cats with the grad-uation of AFCA

All-American ChrisCostello. Sophomore Brad Smith and a pairof freshmen will attempt to fill the voiddespite no collegiate kicking experience.

“Our kicking game will dictate our fieldposition,” Toop noted. “It is a battle wecannot afford to lose.”

Returning kickoffs was one ofDavidson’s strengths last year as Leverettaveraged 23.5 yards per return to lead theleague. He and Dioguardi (22.9-yard aver-age) have the potential to bring the crowdto its feet every time either touches the ball.

Punt returns will be handled by Riceafter gaining experience at the nerve-wracking position last year.

ScheduleFor the first time in 13 years, Davidson

has just nine games scheduled. Among thosenine games, however, is plenty of quality.Six of the nine opponents play in the PFL,while two others are scholarship programs.

The Wildcats open the season on Sept.11 for a night game at Coastal Carolina, asecond-year scholarship program. Afteranother night game at Lenoir-Rhyne,Davidson plays its homecoming gameagainst Butler. Last year Davidson spoiledthe Bulldogs’ homecoming festivities.

October brings one test after anotherwith games at Dayton and San Diego, plusdivisional rivals Jacksonville and MoreheadState at Richardson Stadium.

Davidson wraps up PFL play at AustinPeay on Nov. 6, then concludes the regularseason at home versus Georgetown. ThePFL Championship game will take place onNov. 20, and if the Wildcats win the South,they will host the showdown against thevictor of the North Division.

Senior Brendan Dete

will be one of the stalwarts

of the defensive unit.

Mike Toop was hiredon Dec. 14, 2000, asDavidson’s 25th headfootball coach. Hearrived on the heels ofthe first perfect seasonin the program’s histo-ry, spanning more than100 years. Undauntedby the pressure to pro-

vide an encore for the 10-0 season, Toophas led his team to a pair of winning sea-sons and a 15-15 mark in his three years.Unfortunately, the Wildcats had theirstring of five straight winning seasonscome to an end with a 3-8 record in 2003.

“We went through a lot of adversity lastyear,” stated Toop. “After a slow start theteam really began to gel. Even though theseason did not end the way we would haveliked, the players never gave up. Theyalways played to the best of their abilities.”

After ushering the Wildcats into thePioneer Football League era with a 5-4overall mark and 1-2 conference record in2001, Davidson amassed seven victories forthe fourth time in five seasons, but just theseventh time in over 100 years. The 7-3record came with a 2-1 league mark, plac-ing the ’Cats second in the South Division.Davidson also posted its fifth consecutivewinning season in 2002, just the third timethe school has accomplished that feat.

Perhaps the most difficult of Toop’s ini-tial tasks was to instill a sense of stabilityfor the team since the Wildcats were ontheir third coach in three years. By retain-ing the entire assistant coaching staff, Toopmanaged to provide the continuity theteam needed.

“Three coaches in three years wouldleave a lot of players’ heads spinning,” Toopsaid. “Posting winning seasons in each ofthose years is a testament to the tremendous

Head CoachMike Toop

work ethic of everyone on this team.”Prior to coming to Davidson, Toop

served as the defensive coordinator for theUniversity of Connecticut for two years. In2000, the Huskies played their first seasonat the Division I level.

Toop was the defensive coordinator atthe University of Pennsylvania for sevenseasons (1992-1998), leading a defensiveunit that has been well known as one ofthe best in Division I-AA during that span.His 1998 unit finished fourth in the coun-try in rushing defense and 23rd in totaldefense. In 1994, Toop’s defense was No. 1in I-AA in three categories — pass efficien-cy, total defense and scoring defense. Penncaptured the Ivy League Championship in1998, 1994 and 1993 and set an NCAA I-AA record for consecutive wins with 24during his tenure.

While at Penn, Toop was named the1995 American Football QuarterlyMagazine National Division I-AADefensive Coordinator of the Year.

In his 20 seasons in collegiate coaching,Toop has also worked at ColgateUniversity (1987-1991), Union College(1985-1986) and SUNY-Albany (1983-1984).

Toop started his coaching career in thehigh school ranks in 1977 as an assistantvarsity coach at Chaminade High School inMineola, N.Y. He helped Chaminade cap-ture the Catholic Football League CityChampionship in 1977 and 1978. Hemoved on to Holy Cross High School inFlushing, N.Y., in 1982 andhelped Holy Cross capturethe Catholic FootballLeague CityChampionship in 1982.

Toop is a 1977 graduateof the US Merchant MarineAcademy and earned aMaster’s Degree from theState University of NewYork at Albany in 1984. Hewas a four-year varsity let-terwinner at middle line-

backer and was the team captain in 1976,earning selection as the team’s MostValuable Player, along with All-Conference,Honorable Mention All-East and HonorableMention All-America honors.

Recruiting Coordinator/QuarterbacksHayford is the

longest-tenured coachof the football team ashe returns to the ’Catsin 2004 for his 12th yearon the staff. With thereshuffling of responsi-bilities among the assis-tants, Hayford will becoaching the quarter-

backs, all of whom are freshmen save one.As the defensive line coach, Hayford

coached the past two sack leaders in thePFL in Ryan Tennis ’03 and DarrylChilders ’04. Davidson led the league insacks as a team as well in 2002, averaging3.3 per game, while no other squad hadmore than 2.5.

Whereas before he was instructing play-ers on how to sack the quarterback, nowHayford will be teaching the quarterbackshow to avoid the sack and read defenses.

“Brett knows Davidson football,” CoachToop said. “With his experience at thisschool, I think he is an excellent person tocoach so many rookies at quarterback. Hisbackground here also makes him the perfectcandidate to be the recruiting coordinator.”

Hayford graduated in 1993 fromDavidson, where he played two seasons asa defensive lineman and as an outfielderfor the baseball team. At Shorecrest Prep inSt. Petersburg, Fla., his father, Phil, coachedhis high school football team.

He is married to the former BethSnowden, who is the head athletic trainerat Davidson. They live in Huntersville withtheir son, Thad (5).

Defensive Coordinator/Outside LinebackersIn the three years

Davidson has been amember of the PioneerFootball League,Clendaniel’s defensehas ranked among thetop three in totaldefense twice. Theseperformances come onthe heels of his first sea-

son as defensive coordinator in 2000, whenhe directed the defense to I-AA top-10national rankings in scoring defense (third)and rush defense (eighth).

Although inexperience plagued theWildcat defense last year, a resurgence isexpected in 2004 with a terrific corps oflinebackers and improved play up frontand in the secondary.

“Meade continues to demonstrate a ter-rific grasp of defensive football,” notedCoach Toop. “He tirelessly studies theopposition and develops a game plan tostop its offense. His record certainly speaksfor itself.”

Clendaniel graduated from WestChester University in 1997 with a degree inbiology and spent his senior year as a stu-dent assistant coach for the football squad.He also was a fullback for West Chester forthree seasons.

In August of 1998, he joined the staff atPrinceton, working with current assistantMike Clark and former head coach JoeSusan. Among his duties as an assistant atboth schools were recruiting, developingthe defensive game plan, scouting reportsand all phases of special teams.

Clendaniel is currently engaged toMeredith Tarpley and lives in Cornelius.

Offensive Coordinator/Offensive LineIn each of the four

seasons Clark hasserved as the offensivecoordinator, the ’Catshave averaged at least22 points a game. Twoyears ago, Davidsonmanaged a whopping32 points per contest torank 14th among I-AA

schools. It marked just the second time inDavidson’s long history of football that theteam topped 30 points per game.

The youthful offensive line of a yearago has evolved into one steeped withexperience. Coach Clark expects dramaticimprovement from his group, and how thefront line responds will go a long waytoward determining the Wildcats’ success.

“Mike has proven his ability to workwith the talent given him and help theplayers reach their potential,” Coach Toopstated. “With so many returning starters onthe line and within the offense, Mike willhave the players’ familiarity with the sys-tem to help boost productivity.”

Clark graduated from LycomingCollege in Williamsport, Pa., in 1993 with adegree in Business Administration. Heearned a master’s degree at Rowan Collegewhile working as an assistant coach therefor two years. After spending two seasonsat Princeton with former Wildcat headcoach Joe Susan, he went back to his almamater as the offensive line coach, helpingthe Warriors reach the NCAA playoffs.

Mike and his wife, Danielle, live inMooresville with their daughter, AllisonNicole (3), and newborn son, Brendan (fivemonths).

2003 In Review


- 25 -

Although the 2003 season broughtabout the end of Davidson’s streak of win-ning season at five, the Wildcats enjoyedquite a few highlights, individually and asa team. Some of the performances also ledto optimism about the 2004 squad return-ing Davidson to its winning ways of recentyears and a shot at the PFL South Divisionregular-season title.

Preseason Rankings and Honors for ’CatsDespite graduating its starting quarter-

back, All-America tight end and PFL SouthDivision Defensive Player of the Year,Davidson was ranked by both The FootballGazette and The Sports Network among thetop-10 I-AA Mid-Major programs. The for-mer media outlet had the ’Cats fifth, whilethe latter tabbed Davidson seventh.

Meanwhile, a pair of seniors were hon-ored by The Football Gazette as Preseason I-AA Mid-Major All-Americans. BarrettJohnson, who ranked among the top five inthe PFL in receptions and reception yardagein 2002, was named to the first team.Selected for the second team was punterChris Costello, who was second in puntingaverage in the PFL the previous year.

Second-Half SlaughterTrailing 27-9 after the first half of play

at Butler on Sept. 20, Davidson roared backwith 36 unanswered points in the secondhalf to win its first game of the season. Itwas also the first victory for the Wildcatswhen trailing at the half in nearly fouryears. Granted, Davidson had only trailedat the half in eight of the previous 36games. The 36 points were also the mostfor a Wildcat team in the second half in atleast 36 years.

Offense Tops 600 YardsIn the 45-21 win over Emory & Henry on

Sept. 27, the Wildcat offense gained 614yards. According to the research done by thecrack sports information staff atDavidson, that is the most yardscompiled by a Wildcat footballteam since Sept. 21, 1946, whenDavidson racked up a school-record 777 yards in a 74-0 annihi-lation of Erskine.

Wildcat PFL Players of the WeekFive times during the season, a

Wildcat was named one of the PFLPlayers of the Week. Of those fiveawards, three were earned by sen-ior place kicker/punter ChrisCostello for special teams. His firstaward came for tying the school recordwith three field goals against VMI. Twodefensive players — sophomore MarkWilkerson and senior Darryl Childers— also took home the award, butoddly enough, Davidson lost bothof those contests.

Homecoming Upset SpoiledFacing top-ranked Dayton, the reigning

PFL champion, the Wildcats faced a tall taskin its homecoming game. Davidson nearlypulled off one of its biggest upsets, but theFlyers drove 80 yards in the final 2:28 of thegame to score the winning touchdown.

The Wildcats led by a single point andwere working the clock, driving down tothe Dayton nine-yard line only to beturned away as the Flyers blocked a 23-yard field goal attempt. On the winningdrive, Dayton converted a third-and-14and a 4th-and-18 to keep its hopes alive.

Leverett One Yard Shy of Rushing RecordJunior tailback John Leverett was a

workhorse for Davidson, but his best gamecame on Oct. 11 at Jacksonville. After gain-ing 57 yards in the first half, he let looseover the final 30 minutes. Of the Wildcats’36 offensive plays in the second half,Leverett was handed the ball 24 times for202 yards, giving him 259 for the game.The school record is 260 set by Ray Sinclair’82 against Catawba in 1981. Leverett’slongest run of the day was a 71-yardtouchdown romp to give the ’Cats a 30-6lead in the third quarter.

Road Win Streak Comes to an EndBefore playing at Morehead State on

Oct. 18, Davidson had won seven straightgames on the road, one shy of the schoolrecord set during the 1999 and 2000 sea-sons. But the 35-10 loss to the Eaglesbrought that streak to a halt. Ironically,

Morehead State was the team thatended the Wildcats’ 15-gamehome win streak the previousseason.

Hardy Joins 1,000-Yard ClubSenior Randall Hardy reached four dig-

its in receiving yards with his seven-yardreception that set up Davidson’s finaltouchdown against Austin Peay on Oct. 25.The senior became the 18th Wildcat to

reach the 1,000-yard milestone.

Childers PFL South Defensive PotYEven though Davidson ranked

last in the PFL in total defense,Childers still managed to be

named the South Division’sCo-Defensive Player of theYear along with MoreheadState’s Craig Unger. Childerswas the most devastating

pass rusher in the league, easily lead-ing the PFL with 11.0 sacks, which also

tied the Wildcat single-season record.

Johnson Etches Name in Wildcat AnnalsSenior wide receiver Barrett Johnson

enjoyed a phenomenal 2003 campaign,leaving his name scattered throughoutDavidson’s records. His 980 receiving yards

are the third most ever by a Wildcat receiv-er in one season, while Johnson finished hiscareer with 2,157 yards, three more than theprevious top mark held by Mike Kelly ’70.He also caught 19 touchdown passes dur-ing his tenure with the ’Cats, tying thecareer record set by Gifford Piercy ’81.

“Grand” Day for LeverettAlthough Davidson lost to Coastal

Carolina on Nov. 8, 52-27, Leverett finishedhis day in “grand” style. With a nine-yardrun in the second quarter, he became justthe third Wildcat to rush for 2,000 yards ina career. Six plays later, he ran for a 13-yard touchdown to push him above the1,000-yard milestone for the year, makinghim just the third different back to accom-plish that feat for the ’Cats. Leverettamassed 1,066 yards during the season andenters 2004 needing 1,005 more to becomeDavidson’s all-time leading rusher.

Saunders Named Academic All-DistrictFor the third straight year, and the

fourth year of the last five, Davidsonboasted an Academic All-District III firstteam performer on its roster. Junior safetyKevin Saunders, a biology major and theWildcats’ leading tackler, not only sports a3.378 GPA, but also ranked fifth in the PFLwith 8.6 tackles per game. Saunders forcedthree fumbles and recovered three as well,plus broke up five passes, picked offanother and sacked the quarterback once.

Postseason AccoladesPicking up perhaps the most impressive

postseason award was Costello, who wasnamed to the American Football CoachesAssociation Division I-AA All-Americasquad, the only Wildcat to ever be honoredsince the AFCA began naming a team in1945. The Sports Network listed Childers asa I-AA Mid-Major All-American at defen-sive end, while The Football Gazette namedCostello to its I-AA Mid-Major All-Americafirst team and Johnson to its second team.

Barrett Johnson set a new Davidson career record

with 2,157 receiving yards.

Kicker Chris Costello (left) became the first Wildcat to

be named to the AFCA Division I-AA All-America team.
