and he showed in 2011 he could catch the ball. In 2011, the Skyhawks were 25th in the nation in rushing offense and 13th in the country in scoring offense. A large portion of that credit goes to the offensive line. Our offensive line averages 300 pounds and for the first time in a long time looks like an offensive line in the OVC, Simpson said. With the exception of Eady at center, they are all tall and and athletic. DEFENSIVE LINE One of the biggest questions for the Skyhawks is the defense. For the third time in the past three years, the Skyhawks will have a new defensive coordinator. Jeff Byrd and David Reeves, both from Southern Arkansas, join Simpsons staff this season. Byrd will handle the defensive coordinators assignment, while Reeves works with the secondary. Simpson, being the offensive minded coach that he is, will not say much about the defense. You can expect a lot of things to be going on, and you should probably count on seeing multiple formations. In the middle of the defense line is Tennessee transfer Montori Hughes (6-4, 330 pounds) and Darrin Nalls (5-10, 300 pounds). DJ Roberts and Ryan Isom will see time at defensive ends as well as Dean Wathen, Nick Brown and Matt Murphy. LINEBACKERS This past season walk-on Ben Johnson didnt waste any time earning a scholarship for the 2012 season. Johnson led the team in tackles the first game of the season at Jacksonville State. He led the Skyhawks with 97 total tackles and 7.5 TFLs. Johnson and Jett Howard will both play outside linebacker positions. Ben has good strength and

HEAD COACH
Jason Simpson
UT Martin head football coach Jason Simpson and his UT Martin Skyhawks didnt waste any time garnering attention in 2011. The Skyhawks opened the season at No. 9 Jacksonville State and suffered a one-point loss in the final minute of the game. Two weeks later Simpson and the Skyhawks stunned arch rival Murray State, 48-26, in front of the home crowd at Hardy Graham Stadium. It was the four losses, that ignited Simpsons battle cry Go Make A Difference, or Go MAD for the 2012 campaign. In six years, Simpson has led the Skyhawks to a .617 OVC winning percentage and a .544 overall winning percentage. The OVC winning percentage is among the top four in the league, backing up why Simpson was the 2006 Roy Kidd Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year. Along with winning, Simpson has delivered one of the most explosive offensives and a stifling defenses in the country. The Mississippi native and sixth-year head coach has recently produced the nations No. 1 punt returner in All-American CJ Estelle and All-American defensive back Dontrell Miller. As a team UT Martin won the Sgt. Alvin York Trophy in 2010 when it went 6-5 overall and 5-3 in the OVC. The Sgt. York Trophy was not the only piece of the puzzle for the Skyhawks in 2010. Simpson led his charges to a 10-7 Homecoming victory and the first ever win over perennial power Eastern Kentucky in school history. With the 2006 OVC championship to his credit and a field goal shy of a second championship in 2008, Simpsons teams have been ranked among the top 25 in the nation
The explosive offense led by West Tennessee product Derek Carr didnt stop cruising. The Skyhawks lambasted Austin Peay 61-23 and then closed out the home season with a 38-30 win over Southeast Missouri State. Going into the final two games of the season, the Skyhawks were in a position to win their second OVC championship in five years. However, it was the litle things that proved costly on the road against Tennessee State and Eastern Kentucky. When the dust settled and the regular season came to an end the Skyhawks found themselves in the middle of the OVC standings with a 4-4 worksheet. The four losses were by a combined 16 points. 50

Senior Stephen Shiver came up with a big catch to put The University of Tennessee at Martin football team in great position for a game-winning field goal at Burgess-Snow Field Thursday night against host Jacksonville State. Junior Cody Sandlin had already made a careerlong 45 yard field goal, a 43 yard field goal and a 25yard field goal to help the Skyhawks dominate No. 9 Jacksonville State. Surely Sandlin could have made a 32-yarder to give the Skyhawks a season-opening win and an Ohio Valley Conference victory. Unfortunately Sandlin never got the chance to kick the game winner because time expired and Jacksonville State claimed a 24-23 victory over UT Martin. Jacksonville State claimed its only lead of the game with 38 seconds left on the clock. Senior Calvin Middleton capped off a nine-play drive that covered 50 yards with a four-yard touchdown, consuming almost four minutes of the quarter. UT Martin showed its prowess on the opening drive of Box Score the game(Final) when junior running back Jason McNair rattled The Automated ScoreBook UT Martin #9run Jacksonville State (Sep 01, 2011 at Jacksonville, Ala.) off a 60- vs yard to set up junior Tevin Barksdales four-yard touchdown run.

The University of Tennessee at Martin scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter but came up short as South Alabama posted a 33-30 victory over the Skyhawks this afternoon at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Junior Quentin Sims caught three touchdown passes and had six receptions for 78 yards, while senior wide receiver Stephen Shiver had seven catches for 96 yards. The Skyhawks opened the fourth quarter barrage with a 38-yard field goal by junior Cody Sandlin. The field goal capped off a five -play drive that covered 40 yards in 1:10. The Skyhawk offense scored on its next possession, but rather than run the ball, junior quarterback Derek Carr engineered an air attack. Carr completed five passes, three to Shiver, and landed the drive on the South Alabama 10 yard line with four downs to score. Sophomore running back DJ McNiel tried to punch the ball in, but Carr found Sims open in the corner of the end zone with a 2-yard touchdown pass. With the score, the Skyhawks trailed 33-23 with 3:54 to play.

In 1988, UT Martin had four players enter into the ranks of the National Football League draft, believed to be a rst for any program below the NCAA Division I level to have that many players selected into a single draft. In addition, three players signed contracts to play in the Canadian Football League, and two others signed NFL free agent contracts. As an NCAA Division II school, the former Pacers were allotted a total of 40 scholarships. UT Martin posted an 11-2 overall record and was tri-champions of the Gulf South Conference along with advancing to the Division II quarternals in 1988. The Pacer draftees included running back John Burch with the Phoenix Cardinals in the eighth round, wide receiver William Mackall with the Indianapolis Colts in the ninth, defensive tackle Emanuel McNeil to the New England Patriots in the 10th,and defensive end Jerome Rinehart to the New York Giants as a linebacker in the 11th. The two players to sign free agent contracts were defensive end Sam Dudley and wide receiver Andre Langley. Dudley inked with the Seattle Seahawks. Langley had a year of eligibility remaining, but as a fth-year senior opted to enter the pro ranks, signing with the Cardinals. The CFL-bound players included quarterback Leon Reed and receivers Mark Guy and Ernest Jackson. Reed and Jackson signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Guy with the Saskatchewan Rough Riders.

Jerry Reese will roll up his sleeves and dirty his hands as an NFL general manager, do not worry about that. He was about 10 when he started working in his great grandfathers slaughterhouse in a backwoods corner of western Tennessee, shooting hogs through the eyes, cutting their necks, skinning them, making them bleed. The kid had to help his family pay some bills. He gutted pigs, goats, cows, just about anything that once moved. When that work dried up, Jerry chopped cotton and cut the cemetery grass. So no, this is one 40-something executive not afraid of building, or gutting, the football Giants. Jerry was raised on the banks of the Mississippi, one of nine family members getting by in a two-bedroom house, a home that in the early years didnt offer the luxury of an indoor toilet. This was hard country living in Tiptonville, a town of 2,500 residents wedged between the Mississippi and Reelfoot Lake. The river could get angry, and almost every April the levee would break and the waters would flood the Reese home. Jerry was one of the resourceful ones at high tide. Hed end up in a boat to do his fishing on a nearby road. So yes, hell think outside of Tom Coughlins box. No great grandson of a sharecropper grows up to be general manager of the Giants without summoning the adventurous spirit of ol Huck Finn. In the wake of the Martin Luther King holiday, the Giants will introduce Jerry Reese as the first black general manager of either pro football team in the market. It will stand among the more profound social statements in NFL history. For the first time, the league will prove that a black man can rise to the top of a flagship franchise without having been a professional athlete. Reese understands the significance of the moment. He was just talking about it with his sister, Jackie, a high school teacher charged to straighten out suspended students. Jerry can have such an impact on African-American boys, Jackie said, and hes aware of that. He came from a nowhere place on the map, and now hes ready to take on the world. His mother, Ozella, had a thing or two to do with all that. She worked in a garment factory to feed her two boys and five girls; her eighth child died young in a car wreck. After the factory closed, Ozella became a prison guard at the state pen. The children followed the lead of their mother and stepfather, Clarence Garland, a state parks employee who treated them as his own. They all grew up working, Ozella said.
They grew up accepting the importance of education -- all seven attended college. Some 120 miles north of Memphis, Tiptonville is the seat of Lake County, among the three poorest counties in the state. The community survives on the prison, the countys largest employer, and on the Reelfoot tourists who come to see its bald eagles. The community survives on the hopes of its people. Tiptonville was home to Clifton B. Cates, 19th commandant of the Marine Corps and hero of World Wars I and II. It is now home to Jerry Reese, a 5-foot-9 small-college safety about to become the biggest Giant of all. A natural born leader, said Cliff Sturdivant, Reeses coach at Lake County High. Jerry was a quarterback at Lake County, the first to lead the Falcons to a state title. The one time his 14-0 senior season was threatened, Reese ran back the second-half kickoff for a touchdown against archrival Halls High. I coached for 20 years, Sturdivant said, and hes got the biggest heart of any player Ive ever seen. Mike Hutchens felt the full force of that heartbeat. Long before he covered Reeses career at the University of Tennessee-Martin as a reporter for The Messenger of Union City, Hutchens intercepted one of Jerrys passes in a state playoff game. On the return, Hutchens was too busy looking for daylight, reaching for glory, to notice the toy freight train bearing down on him. Reese delivered payback in a teeth-rattling, snot-busting way. Id never, ever been hit like that, Hutchens said. And Jerry just got up and grinned at me. A field general, Hutchens called the high school quarterback. A fearless competitor, Hutchens called the UT Martin safety. Even without exceptional speed, Reese made a lasting impression as a college player. He intercepted enough passes and pancaked enough receivers to win induction into the UT Martin Hall of Fame. Jerry couldnt have been more than 150 pounds when he got here, said Bill Kaler, the assistant AD who did two tours of Vietnam as an Army colonel, and I saw him hit a kid so hard in a spring game I thought he killed him. Pound for pound, Jerrys the toughest guy Ive ever met. As a graduate assistant, Reese slept on the couch belonging to Jeremiah Davis, the UT Martin aide who would become a Giants scout. Jerry wasnt the low man on the totem pole, said Vickie Reynolds, the office secretary and Reese friend. He was beneath the totem pole. But he turned out to be an unbelievable worker.
cont. Reese broke down film, recruited junior college players from more depressed areas than his own and moved up the coaching staff ladder. In 1994, Davis helped him get a scouting job with the Giants. Reese immediately stood out. He knew talent, and knew how to articulate his knowledge of talent. Ernie Accorsi realized he had to get this scout off the road, get him in a jacket and tie. Reese was terrified of New Jersey real estate prices, but Accorsi convinced him to make the move. The GM jumped Reese over veteran scouts to make him Dave Gettlemans assistant in pro personnel, and then jumped him over more experienced candidates to name him director of player personnel. Accorsi loved his charisma, his confidence, his ability to lead. Reese walked into a draft room full of grizzled scouts looking sideways at the wonder boy, and he needed 10 minutes to take command of that room without alienating a soul.Reese passionately fought for Osi Umenyiora, another small college player from the South, when many observers thought that pick was a second-round reach. Everything my son has touched since high school, Ozella said, has turned to gold. Now all of Tiptonville believes Reese to be the best leader to come out of UT Martin since Pat Summitt. Evan Jones, editor of The Lake County Banner, a weekly paper that goes to bed Tuesday night, said he was hoping Reese would be named before deadline. Its our lead story on the front page, Jones said. The story is of a farmboy who would make $25 in the slaughterhouse and the cotton field, and give $20 to his mother. The story is of a high school and college graduate who worked to pay his great-grandmothers bills. It sounds like were pushing Jerry for president, said Danelle Fabianich, a UT Martin assistant AD. We just want people to know Jerry is a good southern gentleman. Jerry Reese used to send back Giants hats and shirts to his friends and neighbors on the Mississippi. As general manager of a flagship NFL franchise, hell send back something worth a little more. Hope. This column is reprinted with permission of Ian OConnor and the The Record.

KINGSVILLE, Texas- Host Texas A & I put on a awless exhibition in ending the Pacers hopes in a quarternal playoff game. The Pacers were guilty of ve turnovers while the Javelinas played error-free football, much to the delight of the partisian and sun-baked crowd. The temperature at kickoff was 95 degrees. Tailback Johnny Bailey would win a total of three Division II Player of the Year Awards, but it was hard-running fullback Heath Sherman who did the damage. Shermank ran for four TDs.
