Setting The Scene...The matchup between the Rams and Indians marks the first game 

of the season for both teams and marks one of the earliest college football games in the 

nation as the Indians and Rams meet at Bowman-Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC. 

The two teams have met only two other times with the Indians emerging victorious in both 

of those contests. The conest is a non-conference tilt as the Rams will not play a conference 

game until they face-off against Elizabeth City State on September 17th, 2005 in 

Winston-Salem, NC. The Indians will open their conference season on September 24th, 

2005 versus Presbyterian College. 

The Series...The Rams and Indians have met only two other times in the history of both 

programs. The first meeting occurred in in 1998 as the Rams fell 10-7 to the Indians in 

Salisbury, NC. The second, and most current, meeting between the two teams occured 

in 1999 when the Rams fell in defeat 17-14 on a last-second field goal that propelled 

Catawba to its second-consecutive victory over WSSU. Both losses to the Indians have 

come during the Kermit Blount era. 

Fun Facts and Numbers... Both Catawba College victories over the Rams have come 

via field goals. The 1998 game was decided in the third quarter as the Indians recorded 

a mid-range kick to defeat the Rams, while the 1999 game would come down to a clutch 

middle-distance boot, late in the fourth quarter, that ultimately handed WSSU the loss. 

WSSU will look to earn their first win over Catawba in the program's history in 2005.

Purvis Takes Over…With the conclusion of the 

2005 season, the Rams lost the services of quarterback 

Joshua McGee, who has since moved 

on to become a member of the Ram coaching 

staff. With the move from playing field to the sidelines, 

the Rams have crowned a new starting 

quarterback in Parkland High School superstar, 

and sophomore (redshirt) Monte Purvis. 

Purvis, who appeared in five games for the Rams 

last season, starting three, threw for 102 yards 

and a touchdown last season while rushing for 

167 more. He earned the starting job during the 

spring 2005 football practice season and looks to 

keep that starting spot for the season opener. 

Despite the Rams have ten quarterbacks in training 

camp. 

The Brothers Bynum…The Rams have a tradition 

of football excellence, and also have a tradition 

of family that permeates not only the football 

program, but the athletic program in general. The 

Rams currently have two sets of brothers on the 

team, the most valuable of which are the Bynum 

Brothers. The brothers, Darrian Bynum (sophomore 

LB), and Levern Bynum (senior LB), are 

both possible starters for the upcoming 2005 

season. Levern has appeared in 29 games 

during his Ram career, starting 23 while Darrian 

appeared in eight games his freshman year in 

2004, starting six. Darrain finished 11 th on the 

team in tackles in 2004 with 20 while Levern placed 

ninth with 23 total takedowns. 

The Coaches…The coaches for this game versus 

Catwaba College are very evenly matchup 

and both captain two football programs rich in 

tradition, both of which are accustomed to winning. 

The Rams are led by 13 th -year man and 

WSSU alum (1980), Kermit Blount. Blount 

has an overall record of 71-53-3 overall for a 

winning percentage of .568. He has faced the 

Indians twice and lost both contests (during the 

1998 and 1999 seasons). Catawba is led by 

Chip Hester who is entering into his ninth season 

with the Indians. He has posted a 24-8 overall 

record for a winning percentage of .750. Hester 

has also posted a 2-0 record versus the Rams 

and Kermit Blount during his eight-year tenure. 

Narrowly Missed Homecoming…The Rams, 

who will face Catwaba on Saturday, August 27 th , 

2005 just recently confirmed that the contest would 

be played at Bowman-Gray Stadium and not at 

Deaton Thompson Stadium. If the NASCAR 

Weekly Racing Series had used its rain date, the 

Rams would have been forced to move the game 

to Deaton Thompson Stadium. That stadium 

wssurams.com 

has a direct connection to WSSU as two current 

Rams would have been faced with a homecoming 

of sorts. As Deaton Thompson Stadium is the 

home of the Parkland High School Mustangs, current 

WSSU-ers Monte Purvis (sophomore, QB) 

and Jed Bines (junior, RB) would have returned 

home to a field in which they had nothing but success 

on during high school. Both Bines and Purvis 

were part of the 2002 Parkland team that won the 

NCPHSAA 3-A State Championship. Bines was 

named the Championship game MVP and was 

named the State Player of the Year in that same 

season. 

From Standard To Unconventional…The 

Rams will sport a new defensive look this season 

as they have trashed the conventional 4-3 defensive 

scheme in favor of a more unconventional 3- 

5-3 defense under the tutelage of new defensive 

coordinator Mike Ketchum. The 3-5-3 utilizes 

three defensive linemen, three linebackers, two 

“spurs” or strong safeties, and three defensive 

backs (two cover corners and a free safety). The 

new look will pose matchup problems for opposing 

teams and will make opposing quarterback 

nervous due to the 3-5-3 being a look that many 

QB’s have never seen, nor practiced against. 

New Threads For The Rams…The Rams will 

have one set of new threads for the 2005 season 

as they have brand new Russell road white uniforms. 

WSSU unveils the new uniforms on September 

3 rd , 2005 when they travel to Washington, 

DC to face MEAC member, and Division I-AA 

opponent Howard University. WSSU will wear the 

uniforms the very next weekend as they travel to 

MEAC member, and Division I-AA South Carolina 

State University in Orangeburg, SC. The uniforms 

were designed with a collaborative effort between 

head coach Kermit Blount and fourth-year 

equipment manager Jay Robinson. 

Rams Picked Third…The verdict came in on July 

21 st , 2005 at the CIAA Football Kick-Off Luncheon 

that took place in Petersburg, VA, and to many 

Ram fans, it was a surprise. The powerhouse 

Rams were picked to finish the 2005 season third 

in the ultra-competitive CIAA Western Division. 

WSSU was picked to finish behind 2004 Western 

Division Champion Fayetteville State University, 

who was tabbed as the favorite to defend their 

Western Division title and the Rams were also, 

surprisingly, predicted to finish behind the Eagles 

of North Carolina Central University. WSSU looks 

to prove the “experts” wrong in 2005 by winning 

the CIAA Western Division and the CIAA Championship. 

The Rams have not won a CIAA title since

winning back-to-back championships during the 

1999 and 2000 seasons. 

South Atlantic AGAIN...The meeting between 

the Rams and Indians marks the fifth consecutive 

season that the Rams have opened play versus a 

team from the South Atlantic Conference. The past 

four seasons it was the Eagles of Carson-Newman 

that WSSU faced on opening-weekend. The Rams 

posted a 1-3 record versus C-N over that span. 

Looking To Win The Home Opener...The Rams 

look to open the 2005 season with a win at home, 

something that they haven't done since the 2001 

season when the Rams posted a 27-16 win over 

Carson-Newman College at Bowman-Gray. 

2004 In Review...The 2004 football season was 

one that saw the Rams start off slowly, and build 

momentum in the season’s latter half en route to 

an uncharacteristic finish at two games below .500 

with a 4-6 overall record. Winston-Salem State 

University entered into the season with high expectations 

and a wealth of talent, however, injuries 

to key personnel and the 12 th most difficult schedule 

in the country proved to be formidable obstacles 

to overcome. The Rams faced NCAA 

Division II national football powerhouse Carson- 

Newman in the first game in the nation on Thursday, 

August 26 th , 2004 in Jefferson City, TN as the 

Rams and Eagles would again combine for another 

South Atlantic Conference versus CIAA conference 

football epochs. The Rams fell behind 

early in the contest but mounted a late-game charge 

that came up just short as the host-team Eagles 

held on for a 48-32 victory that dropped the Rams 

to 0-1 on the young season, while Carson- 

Newman improved to 1-0. The Rams lost not 

only the game, but lost fifth-year senior running 

back Willie “Pedie” Byrd to a severely broken 

ankle midway through the second quarter. Byrd, 

a back who only two seasons prior had rushed 

his way to more than 1,000 yards, would see his 

WSSU football career come to an end that day, 

but not before he rushed his way into the end zone 

for the 13 th career touchdown. In addition to the 

loss of Byrd, WSSU would see superstar sophomore 

Jed Bines and senior quarterback Josh 

McGee suffer mild injuries on the afternoon, bruises 

that would prove to haunt them for the entire season. 

The second game of the season would get 

no easier for the Rams as they returned home to 

Bowman-Gray Stadium to play host to the Wildcats 

of Fort Valley State University. The Ram 

offense would have only one problem on the afternoon 

as they easily ran their way around the FVSU 

defense. WSSU would not be able to hang on to 

the football as they fumbled away three scoring 

chances after rushing for more than 300 yards. 

The Ram defense on the other hand, would have 

their hands full all afternoon long as FVSU’s All- 

American-laden running attacked drove its way 

into the Ram endzone for a pair of scores in the 

Wildcats 21-19 victory as WSSU fell to 0-2 on the 

season. The third and final non-conference game 

of the season would see the Rams again stay in 

Winston-Salem, NC, but would see WSSU face 

the unenviable task of playing host to the 2003 

South Atlantic Conference Champion Pioneers of 

Tusculum College. Tusculum used their highpowered 

passing offense to saddle the Ram defense 

with 375 passing yards allowed en route to 

five passing touchdowns. The Ram offense would 

counter with 294 rushing yards, but could not compete 

with the experience-laden Pioneers en route 

to dropping a 37-20 decision, falling to 0-3 in the 

process for the first time since 1981. The Rams 

would continue on at home the very next week as 

they welcomed old friends and even older rivals 

to town as they hosted the Panthers of Virginia 

Union University, marking new VUU Head Football 

Coach, and former WSSU Offensive Coordinator, 

Arrington Jones, III’s first trip back to Winston-Salem, 

NC since accepting the head job in 

Richmond, VA. The welcome he would receive 

would be a less-than-hospitable one as the Rams 

used the two-headed rushing attack of Jed Bines 

and Martin Hicks to put 252 yards and three 

touchdowns on the scoreboard and effectively 

put to rest any VUU hopes for a win as WSSU got 

off the losing streak earning a 20-13 victory. Even 

the post-game chippiness between the two teams 

could not diminish the importance of the win as 

the Rams avoided falling to 0-4 for the first time 

since 1975. The very next game would see the 

Rams reluctantly welcome the two-time defending 

CIAA Champion Broncos of Fayetteville State 

University to Bowman-Gray Stadium as the 

Rams looked to end a two-game losing streak at 

the hands of the visitors from Fayetteville, NC. 

The Rams, for the second consecutive season, 

would see themselves fumble away a victory as 

four miscues inside the Broncos’ red zone would 

ultimately seal WSSU’s fate as an effective Bronco 

passing attack would hand WSSU their fifth loss 

of the season, this time of a 21-14 variety as the 

Broncos earned their third-straight win over 

WSSU setting an all-time high of three straight 

wins versus the Rams, eclipsing a two-game 

streak that FSU put together during the 1975-76 

seasons. The loss all but mathematically guaranteed 

the Rams would not participate in 

November’s CIAA title game, making the rest of 

the 2004 season a matter of pride for WSSU.

The very next week would see the Rams close out 

their 2004 home schedule as they took to the gridiron 

to face the Blue Bears of Livingstone College, a team 

that they had beaten five consecutive times. The 

game would never be in doubt as the Rams easily 

ran their win streak over the Blue Bears to a halfdozen 

games as a solid performance from both 

WSSU running backs helped the Rams earn the 31- 

21 win. The Rams, looking for their first two-game 

win streak of the season would take to the road the 

next weekend to travel the 90 miles to Durham, NC to 

face their most heated rival, the Eagles of North Carolina 

Central University. The two teams would trade 

blows for the entire game, and even for a few extra 

plays as the Eagles looked as though they had the 

game won late in the fourth quarter before a Josh McGee 

pass to Jared Brevard put the Rams on top with only 33 

seconds to play. Undaunted, the Eagles mounted a comeback 

from their own 27-yard line as they marched downfield, 

earning a look into the endzone that would be wildly overthrown 

as their comeback hopes looked to be dashed. However, 

as the football fell harmlessly to the turf as time expired on 

the scoreboard, a linesman’s flag would flutter to the ground 

only moments later, signaling that there would ultimately be 

one more play in Durham, NC that evening from the Ram 

one-yard line. The Eagles would punch the ball into the 

endzone, and push a dagger into the heart of all Ram fans in 

the process as they snuck out the 35-33 victory in the process, 

all the while with the scoreboard reading 00:00. The 

Rams, however disheartened by the last-second loss in 

Durham, NC, would show no ill effects earning easy wins in 

their final two games of the season as they hammered Johnson 

C. Smith and Saint Augustine’s College, on the road, by the 

score of 31-20 and 31-13 respectively. Despite the weaker 

than expected finish at 4-6 overall, the Rams placed four team 

members on the All-CIAA First Team as Jed Bines, Phillip 

Betts, Brian Scott, and Emmanuel Akah all earned firstteam 

honors. Martin Hicks earned All-CIAA Second-Team 

honors and the Rams would place three players on the All- 

Rookie team, marking the fourth consecutive year that WSSU 

placed at least eight players on the All-CIAA teams. As well, 

the Rams would rush their way into history as running backs 

Jed Bines and Martin Hicks both eclipsed the 1,000-yard 

mark with Bines collecting 1,137 yards and Hicks collecting 

1,148 yards on the season, marking the first time in CIAA 

history that two backs from the same team eclipsed the 1,000- 

yard mark in the same season. The 2004 season was one 

that helped to lay foundations for the future success of Ram 

football as the players and coaching staff look ahead to the 

ushering in of the Division I era at WSSU. 

Not Good Versus Ranked Opponents...Hopefully, for 

Ram fans, WSSU will fare better this season versus ranked 

opponents than they did last season. The Indians, who 

finished 2004 with a #13 AFCA ranking, will come into the 

contest versus WSSU ranked. The Rams were 0-2 last 

season versus ranked opponents as they lost to Tusculum 

College and Carson-Newman. Both teams are from the 

South Atlantic Conference, of which the Indians of Catawba 

are also a member. 

Only Scoring Once...The Rams' defense will have to 

step up in 2005 as WSSU only scored one defensive 

touchdown in 2004. That touchdown, a 94-yard interception 

return for a TD versus Saint Augustine's College by the 

since-departed Edwin Jones was the lone score for the 

Ram defense during the season. The Rams posted a 1- 

0 record when the defense scored. 

WSSU Jumps Out Early...The 2004 Rams liked to jump 

out on opponents early as the Rams posted a 4-2 record 

when they scored the first points of the game. 

A Look At The 2005 Rams...The 2005 Rams will not 

have it easy this season as they look to capture a CIAA 

Championship in their final year of CIAA membership. 

2005 Schedule...Winston-Salem State University’s transition 

to NCAA Division I status has already begun, and the 

2005 football season will be witness to the ramifications 

thereof as Head Coach Kermit Blount has wasted no 

time in adding two Division I-AA teams to the slate of 10 

regular-season opponents for the Rams in the rapidly 

approaching season. The Rams will face-off against the 

Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s (MEAC) Howard University 

on September 3 rd and will face South Carolina State 

University on September 10 th . Both contests will be road 

games for the Rams who have not faced a Division I-AA 

opponent since facing both South Carolina State and Hampton 

during the 2000 season. The Rams dropped a 40-6 

decision to Hampton in 2000 while they defeated the Bulldogs 

39-28. Coach Blount will put his 2-12-1 all-time mark 

versus Division I-AA opponents on the line as he attempts 

to earn his second win versus each the Bison and the 

Bulldogs in the fall of 2005. Since arriving back to campus 

to coach his alma-mater in the fall of 1993, Blount has 

amassed a 12-season overall record of 71-53-3 (.559) 

and has captured two CIAA Championships (1999 and 

2000). This season he will close out the Rams’ final year in 

the ultra-competitive Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association 

(CIAA) before the Rams begin the process of reclassification 

to NCAA Division I-AA status. The Rams and 

Blount will face the challenge of trying to replace six starters 

from the 2004 team that posted a 4-6 overall record. The 

Rams lose three starters on offense, two on defense and 

one from the special teams unit. WSSU loses one of the 

most prolific offensive duos in WSSU history as the Rams 

lost wide receiver Brandon Free to graduation and lost 

quarterback Josh McGee following the expiration of his 

NCAA eligibility. Free led the Rams in both receptions and 

receiving yards for the past three seasons and finished his 

career as the Rams all-time receptions leader. McGee 

finished his career at the top of all but two WSSU passing 

records as he finished his stellar four-year career as the

will hold its weekly press conference every Wednesday 

at 11:00 am in the CE Gaines Center Media 

Lounge. Head Coach Kermit Blount and select players 

will be on hand to give general comments and 

field questions. Requests for specific players must be 

made no later than Monday at 11:00 am prior to that 

Wednesday’s press conference. 

WSSU Football Practices: 

The football team will practice on the dual-level practice 

field adjacent to the CE Gaines Center, (cross 

over Wallace Street). Practices are open to the media 

and are the opportune time for lengthy print or television 

interviews. Practice times vary according to 

academic schedules, so please contact the Sports 

Information Department for the specifics. 

Post-Game Procedures 

The WSSU locker room is closed to the media. At all 

home games, the postgame interview format will be 

as follows: After a 10 minute cooling off period, WSSU 

Head Coach Kermit Blount and all requested players 

will report to midfield to address the media followed 

by members of the visiting team. 

Press Box Services: 

A media packet, including a game program, game 

notes, lineups, depth charts and statistics, will be 

available for each media member before the game. 

During the game, quickie statistics will be distributed 

after each quarter of play. Complete play-by-play, 

scoring summaries, individual and team statistics will 

be distributed following each half and at the conclusion 

of each game. 

Media/Press Parking: 

Special parking arrangements are made for the benefit 

of all media covering WSSU Football. A mediaonly 

parking area will be located near the West gate of 

Bowman-Gray Stadium. Parking passes for this lot 

will be issued with the media credentials for each 

contest. Requests for credentials and parking passes 

must be made at least one week prior to all home 

football contests.

leader in pass completions, completion percentage, passing 

attempts and passing efficiency, as well as placing 

second in passing yardage and touchdown passes. The 

McGee to Free combination connected 156 times over the 

span of four seasons with Brandon Free catching 16 

touchdowns off of passes thrown by Josh McGee. Defensively, 

the Rams will see the departure of linebacker 

Anthony Robinson who led the team in tackles 

for the past three seasons. Robinson left the team 

with two games remaining in 2004 and has since 

transferred to Carson-Newman College for his final 

year of eligibility. In addition to Robinson, the Rams 

lose the services of P.J. Southerland who recorded 

43 tackles in 2004, and Phillip Betts who recorded 

28 total tackles including five sacks and eight tackles 

for loss en route to All-CIAA First-Team honors. Despite 

the departure of several key players, the Rams 

will reap the rewards of several consecutive quality 

recruiting years as many of the team’s younger players 

are beginning to grasp the intricacies of the 

WSSU offensive and defensive systems and are 

beginning to challenge for playing time. The veteran 

players will have to lead by example in 2005, 

and the young players will have to mature quickly 

as the 2005 schedule is one of the most difficult in 

recent history. WSSU will start the season versus 

NCAA Division II powerhouse Catawba College on 

August 27 th in Winston-Salem, NC. The Indians, 

who were nationally-ranked for the majority of the 

2004 season, and who finished 26 th in the nation in 

the final American Football Coaches Association 

(AFCA) poll will face WSSU in the first football game 

of the 2005. After facing the Indians, the Rams will 

head to the road for a pair of road games versus 

NCAA Division I-AA opponents. WSSU will face the 

Bison of Howard University in Washington, DC on 

September 3 rd , and will face South Carolina State in 

Orangeburg, SC on September 10 th . The Rams 

have an all-time mark of 1-2 versus both teams as 

Coach Blount and the Rams vie to even the all-time 

series versus both opponents by earning wins this 

season. WSSU will then take a break from the road 

by returning home to face the Vikings of Elizabeth 

City State University in the friendly confines of Bowman-Gray 

Stadium. The Rams will have revenge 

on their minds versus ECSU as they look to avenge 

2002’s 15-14 upset defeat at the hands of the Vikings 

as WSSU saw a five-game win streak over 

Elizabeth City State snapped. Following the contest 

versus ECSU, the Rams will again head out on the 

road, this time for a trio of contests on unfriendly 

ground. The first of the three consecutive road 

games will pit WSSU against their most bitter rival in 

the Panthers of Virginia Union University. WSSU, 

who got the best of the Panthers in Winston-Salem, 

NC last season, will look to avenge 2003’s 29-17 

loss in Richmond, VA, a loss which saw the Rams 

squander a 10-0 advantage on the Panthers’ homecoming 

day. The second road trip will take WSSU 

to Fayetteville, NC to face the Broncos of 

Fayetteville State University. The Broncos are 

sporting a three-game win streak over the Rams 

as WSSU looks to snap the skid at the newly renovated 

Luther “Nick” Jeralds Stadium. The final 

WSSU road game of the season will be the Rams’ 

third-consecutive contest wearing their light colored 

road uniforms as the Rams will face-off against the 

Blue Bears of Livingstone College in Salisbury, 

NC before returning home to close out the season 

with three straight games in Bowman-Gray Stadium. 

The Rams will have two contests preceeding 

the final contest of the regular season, which also 

happens to be WSSU’s homecoming. The Rams 

will square off against North Carolina Central on 

October 15 th , Johnson C. Smith on October 22 nd 

and close out the regular season versus the upstart 

Falcons at WSSU’s Homecoming on October 

29 th . If the Rams live up to expectations, and capitalize 

on the wealth of talent that they possess, then 

the October 29 th contest versus Saint Augustine’s 

will be far from the last time that the Rams take to the 

gridiron as WSSU firmly expects to take part in 

November 5 th ’s CIAA title game, and the NCAA 

playoffs the following weekend. 

2005 WSSU Offense...(Starters Returning/Lost: 

8/3; Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 24/9)...The 

Rams will once again be loaded on the offensive 

side of the ball as eight starters return from a team 

that placed second in the CIAA in total offense per 

game with 347.7 yards per contest. WSSU averaged 

23.7 points per game in 2004, good enough 

to rank third in the CIAA as offensive prowess was 

not a concern for the Rams last season. At the 

quarterback position, the Rams will return redshirt 

sophomore Monte Purvis. Purvis, who will try to 

fill the very big shoes left behind by Joshua McGee, 

is the beneficiary of a redshirt year and a 2004 

season in which he received some quality playing 

time. Purvis appeared in five games last season 

where he completed 12 of his 28 pass attempts for 

102 total yards and a touchdown. He also placed 

third on the team in rushing as he picked up 167 

yards on 39 carries for an average of 15.4 yards 

per game. Behind Purvis will be a host of newcomers 

battling for playing time. Justin Sherrod, 

a redshirt freshman from Westover High School in 

Fayetteville, NC will attempt to earn playing time in 

2005 as he will look to continue the success of his 

stellar high school career. A three-time Mid-Southeastern 

All-Conference selection as a sophomore, 

junior, and senior, Sherrod possesses considerable 

arm strength and at 6’1” and 190 pounds, is a 

solid athlete that will compete for playing time. 

wssurams.com 

WSSU will also welcome true freshman Corey 

Clayton to the quarterback corps. Clayton, a 6’2”, 

195 pound quarterback from Chapel Hill, NC will 

step in and immediately challenge for playing time in 

2005. With a solid nucleus at quarterback, the Rams 

will once again turn their attention to the strength of 

the WSSU offense…the running game. The Rams 

are in the very enviable position of returning the top 

two running backs in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic 

Association as WSSU welcomes back the services 

of senior speedster Martin Hicks and slasher 

Jerrick “Jed” Bines, both of whom easily eclipsed 

the 1,000-yard mark last season. Hicks, a 5’10”, 

180-pound back who runs the 40-yard dash in just 

over 4.3 seconds, returns for his senior season at 

WSSU looking for his first CIAA Championship ring. 

With 1,148 net yards last season, Hicks led the CIAA 

in rushing with an average of 114.8 yards per game. 

He also led the CIAA in all-purpose yards with 121.1 

yards per contest. Not far behind was his rushing 

teammate Jed Bines. Bines led the CIAA in scoring 

with 74 total points and 12 rushing touchdowns. With 

1,137 yards on 176 total carries, Bines turned in an 

average of 113.7 yards per game, placing second 

in the CIAA. Despite finishing second in the rushingyardage 

race, Bines would garner First-Team All- 

CIAA honors while Hicks would earn Second-Team 

honors. Either way opponents look at it, they will 

face the challenge of stopping the two-headed monster 

that is the Hicks-Bines rushing attack. On the 

receiving side of the ball, only one senior exists on 

the WSSU roster. That senior is the Rams most 

potent wideout threat as opponents will again catch 

themselves looking at the back side of the Rams’ 

number nine jersey as redshirt senior Brandon 

Hussey will once again carve up opposing defenses 

with yards after the catch, as well as pulling doubleduty 

with teammate Martin Hicks on the kick return 

unit. Hussey, who was the nation’s kick-return leader 

in 2003, will once again utilize his best weapon in his 

extraordinary field vision to inflict pain on opposing 

defenses. Hussey also possesses a great pair of 

hands to compliment his speed as he is the Rams’ 

leading receiving returnee who pulled in 28 receptions 

for 277 yards last season. The Rams also 

return 6’6” tight-end Stan Wright to the receiving 

lineup for 2005. Wright caught 13 passes in 2004 

with three of them being recorded for touchdowns. 

His 6’6” frame makes him a large target for WSSU 

quarterbacks to throw to, and makes him a difficult 

coverage assignment for even the most stout defensive 

back. The Ram offensive line is predicted to be 

even more solid in 2005 than it was in 2004 as the 

young offensive front has had yet another year to 

mature. The offensive line, comprised mainly of 

sophomores and juniors, will look to provide the 

WSSU quarterbacks, primarily Monte Purvis with

time enough to find his open receivers. Jerome 

Dunbar will return to the offensive line in 2004 as 

he will be the anchor of the young offensive front. 

Joining Dunbar is Javon Hubbard who, after seeing 

considerable playing time at tackle in 2004, 

makes the move to center. Steven Jordan, a 

redshirt freshman is slated to fill the left tackle position, 

and Michael Champaign, who has sat out 

the past two seasons, will finally get a chance to 

showcase his skills and compete for playing time at 

the right tackle position. The self-proclaimed “Great 

Wall of Winston-Salem” will once again look to open 

holes for the WSSU tailbacks and give Monte Purvis 

time to throw the ball downfield. 

Ram Defense...Starters Returning/Lost: 9/2; 

Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 23/9...The defensive 

unit has undergone nearly a complete overhaul 

with changes at almost every position. The defense 

has even seen a formation change as the 

Rams will scrap the tried-and-true 4-3 system in 

favor of a 3-5-3 formation that will enable the coaching 

staff to better utilize the available personnel. The 

linebackers have undergone the most radical 

change as William Hayes, the Rams’ 23 rd leading 

tackler in 2004 has shifted from defensive line to 

middle linebacker so he can use his 6’4” 275-pound 

frame to create havoc for opposing offenses. Hamid 

Dawson will likely fill the left end slot, while Michael 

Merrit will occupy the nose guard position. Jason 

Holman will assume the right end position in 2005 

as the Rams will utilize their size and strength to 

impose their will on opposing running backs and 

pass-throwers. The linebacker positions have seen 

change headed into fall of 2005 as well as three 

youngsters established themselves during spring 

practice and will likely be the game-day starters 

versus Catawba on August 27 th . Sam Robinson 

has moved into the left-side linebacker position, William 

Hayes has solidified himself as a force to be 

reckoned with in the middle linebacker position, and 

Thaddeus Griffin will bring his athleticism and fieldvision 

to the right-side linebacker position. Depth 

will again be a strength for the Rams at linebacker 

as Levern Bynum, a starter in 2004 will be the first 

reserve linebacker off the bench as the Rams possess 

incredible depth in the middle. When asked 

about the depth at the linebacker position, Defensive 

Coordinator Mike Ketchum was quoted as 

saying: “…Other than our two very impressive 

tailbacks [Jed Bines and Martin Hicks] I think the 

strength of our team will be our depth at the linebacker 

position.” The cornerbacks have been completely 

overhauled as Maurice Reid will occupy 

the left cornerback position, Joe Johnson will line 

up adjacent to Reid on the ride-side corner, and 

Pat Clark, a 5’11”, 205-pound athletic machine will 

wssurams.com 

line up as the Rams’ free safety. Clark, who is quite 

possibly the Rams’ most football-smart player in 

the secondary according to Ketchum, will be the 

field-general for WSSU in 2005. The strong safety 

positions, or “spurs”, will be another key to the 

Rams’ defensive success in 2005 as Darrian 

Bynum, a 6’0”, 200-pound red-shirt sophomore 

will fill the left spur slot, while Maurice Jackson will 

fill the right spur slot. “We are going to be much 

better at matching up personnel,” Ketchum said. 

“If opponents want to put a lot of skill guys on the 

field, we can definitely combat that with additional 

defensive backs. However, if an opponent wants 

to put a bigger team on the field, then we can 

definitely battle with our size, especially our big 

linebackers. We are definitely going to be improved 

from a scheme standpoint. I don’t believe that our 

opponents will catch us off-balance with too many 

of their different sets. 

Ram Specialists...Starters Returning/Lost: 2/0; 

Letterwinners Returning/Lost: 3/0...A pair of veterans 

will return at the punter and placekicker position 

for the Rams in 2005. Two-time All-CIAA 

punter Chad Oakley will return for his senior season 

in 2005 as he looks to continue to re-write the 

WSSU record books for punting. He will again be 

one of the best punters in the CIAA and will help to 

pin opponents deep in their own territory should 

WSSU’s offensive juggernaut fail to produce. At 

placekicker, junior Matt Hind, who has been 

plagued by injuries the past two seasons, will have 

his first full season with the Rams, and will look to 

be injury free. Hind, who hit the longest field goal 

in WSSU history last season with a 53-yard boot 

that had enough distance to have been good from 

60 yards or more will be the Rams’ opening-day 

field-goal kicker. The Rams will open the season 

on August 27 th as they host Catawba College, and 

if the WSSU players, coaches, and athletic administrators 

have anything to say about it, will not end 

until a CIAA and NCAA Championship have been 

attained. 

A Look At Catawba...The Indians are, and have 

been, an NCAA Division II national powerhouse. 

The 2004 Catawba College football team posted a 

7-4 record in 2004, their poorest showing in over 

five seasons. The 2003 edition of the Indians finished 

the season ranked 13th in the AFCA polls 

and again made an NCAA Division II playoff appearance. 

Players To Watch (WSSU)...#1 Jed Bines, junior 

running back; #27 Martin Hicks, senior running 

back; #4 Monte Purvis, sophomore quarterback; 

#9 Brandon Hussey, senior wide re-

ceiver and kick returner; #5 Chad Oakley, senior, 

punter. 

Players To Watch (Catawba)...#5 Corey Ready, 

senior, wide receiver; #8 Brad Roach, sophomnore, 

quarterback; #40 Stuart Adams, senior, middle linebacker; 

#25 Charles Morman, junior, cornerback. 

99 Problems, But Numbers Ain't One...The 

Rams are loaded...literally. At media day this past 

Sunday, the Rams had 97 players dressed in uniform. 

That 97 players is only two short of the NCAA 

maximum of 99 players that can dress for a team's 

home games. That means that the Rams have a 

roster that is 97.9% full. According to head equipment 

manager Jay Robinson, the Rams may 

very well have all 99 uniforms filled on Saturday. 

Running For Home...The Rams are very proficient 

at running the ball. There is no doubt about 

that. As a team, the Rams averaged 246.7 yards 

per game on the ground last season. However, in 

home games, the Rams averaged a stunning 298.7 

yards per game on the ground. 

Secondary Solution...If there was one glaring 

weakness in the 2004 Rams, it would be the WSSU 

secondary. The Rams were ranked second to 

last, or last, in every pass defense statistic in the 

CIAA. WSSU has tried to remedy the situation by 

bringing in a new defensive coordinator in Mike 

Ketchum, and has switched from a 4-3 to a 3-5-3 

formation on defense. 

New Season, New Announcers...The 2005 season 

will mark the debut of the new WSNC Radio 

90.5 FM radio broadcast crew. The Rams' flagship 

station has recently revamped its entire WSSU 

Football broadcast crew. Ram fans will now hear 

all the on-field action brought to them by George 

Croom and Doc Love. The pair will combine for 

a tag-team play-by-play effort that will keep all those 

displaced Ram fans "in the know" with live action. 

As well, the duo are planning to launch a coaches 

show live, every Monday, starting on August 29th, 

2005 at 6:30 pm on WSNC 90.5 FM. For additional 

information, contact the WSSU Office of 

Sports Information at (336) 750-2143. 

The Event...The opening game of the 2005 season 

will mark "Hall of Fame Induction Weekend" at 

WSSU. Winston-Salem State University will enshrine 

nine new members in the Clarence E. "Big 

House" Gaines Athletic Hall of Fame on Friday 

evening. All nine members will be recognized in a 

halftime ceremony that will take place on Saturday 

evening. The athletic hall of fame was revived by

Kermit Blount 

WSSU Head Football Coach 

13 th Season (71-53-3) 

Alma Mater – WSSU ‘80 

There is little question that Winston-Salem 

State University 

head football coach Kermit Blount 

has established himself as one of the premiere coaches 

not only in Division II, but in all of college football. Blount, 

who is entering his 13 th season as the head coach of 

the WSSU Football program is a proven winner as his 

teams utilize hard work, attention to detail and game 

preparation as their tools for success. And one needs 

to look no further than the Rams’ back-to-back CIAA 

Championships in 1999 and 2000 to realize that this 

formula is one that produces results. Coach Blount 

began his coaching career at Armstrong Kennedy 

High School in Richmond, Virginia as a quarterbacks 

coach and assistant offensive coordinator. Then in 

1983, he became a graduate assistant and assistant 

quarterbacks coach at East Carolina University. Following 

his stint with the Pirates, Blount moved on to 

Washington D.C. and Howard University where he 

assumed the responsibilities of offensive coordinator 

from 1984-89 under head coach Willie Jefferies. Soon 

after his arrival in the nation’s capital, Coach Blount’s 

presence was felt as he directed a potent Bison offense 

to the 1987 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference 

(MEAC) Championship. He would spend four more 

years as part of Jefferies’ staff at South Carolina State 

University (MEAC) before returning to his alma mater, 

Winston-Salem State University, as head coach in 

1993. Since his arrival back in Winston-Salem, Blount 

has amassed an twelve-year mark of 71-53-3 (.559), 

including three CIAA Championship appearances, two 

CIAA titles and two Pioneer Bowl appearances. In 

addition, he was honored as the 1999 and 2000 CIAA 

Coach of the Year, D.C. Pigskin Coach of the Year and 

100% Wrong Club Coach of the Year. Coach Blount 

is also a member of several professional organizations, 

including but not limited to, the American Football 

Coaches Association (AFCA) and the Central Intercollegiate 

Athletic Association Football Coaches Association 

where he was president from 1994-98. As a 

quarterback at WSSU, Blount guided the Rams to 

back-to-back CIAA titles in 1977 and 1978 earning allconference 

honors along the way. The 1978 All-American 

sat atop the WSSU record books for more than 

20 years before his 3,330 career passing yards were 

recently surpassed. Coach Blount is married to the 

former Ava Harris of Richmond, Virginia and they are 

the proud parents of a daughter April and a son Bryan. 

You may contact Coach Blount via telephone at (336) 

750-2148 or via email at blountk@wssu.edu.
