Fall Preview: Tulsa

Fall Preview for the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes:

QB
15           Kalen Henderson 6-0 210 Quarterback SO Mount Airy, La. (East St. John)--Starting quarterback. 5 games played. 23 carries for 19 yards. 8-29 passing for 122 yards and 3 TD.
07           Cody Green 6-4 247 Quarterback JR-RS Dayton, Texas (University of Nebraska)--Backup quarterback.
18           Joseph Calcagni                6-1 202 Quarterback FR-RS Springdale, Ark. (Springdale HS)--Redshirted in 2011. 3rd string.
11           Stephen Rouse 6-0 202 Quarterback JR- Tulsa, Okla. (Cascia Hall HS)--4th string.
05           Malachi Blankenship 6-1 182 Quarterback JR Tulsa, Okla. (Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College)--5th string.
09           Dane Evans 6-2 200 Quarterback FR Sanger, Texas (Sanger)--Incoming freshman. 6th string.
13           Gabe Davis 6-2 210 Quarterback JR-TR Roanoke, Texas (North Texas)--7th string.
08           Jeff Calvert 6-1 182 Quarterback SO-RS Colleyville, Texas (Colleyville Heritage)--8th string.

With a new quarterback ready to take the helms in 2012, everyone expected Nebraska transfer Cody Green to take the job this fall. After the spring depth chart has been revealed, sophomore Kalen Henderson was surprisingly put on top. Henderson does have some experience playing in 5 games and passing for 122 yards and 3 touchdowns as a true freshman. He will have to work all summer and fall to keep his starting spot as Green is ready to get back on the field after a year away due to NCAA transfer rules. Redshirt freshman Joseph Calcgni, junior Stephen Rouse, and Junior Malachi Blankenship will all battle to get that 3rd quarterback spot among the crowded group of signal callers.

RB
25          Ja'Terian Douglas 5-11 189 Running Back JR Arlington, Texas (Lamar)--Starting running back. 13 games played, 2 starts. 112 carries for 883 yards and 4 TD. 11 catches for 59 yards. 5 tackles.
22           Trey Watts 5-11 190 Running Back JR Fairfax, Va. (Oakton)--13 games played, 12 starts. 157 carries for 881 yards and 3 TD. 31 catches for 242 yards and 3 TD. 2 punt returns for 12 yard average. 20 kickoff returns for 24.1 yard average and 1 TD.  3 tackles.
08           Alex Singleton 6-1 260 Running Back SR LaPlace, La. (East St. John)--Backup running back. 13 games played. 82 carries for 279 yards and 8 TD. 1 kickoff return for 22 yards. 3 catches for 25 yards.
24           Zack Langer 5-11 204 Running Back FR-RS Jenks, Okla. (Jenks HS)--Redshirted in 2011. 3rd string.
29           Josh Cade 5-8 195 Running Back SO-RS Coweta, Okla. (Coweta)--4th string.
??           James Flanders 5-11 186 Running Back SO Midwest City, Okla. (Midwest City)--No stats in 2011.

The Golden Hurricanes return two 800 yard rushers from 2011 in juniors Ja'Terian Douglas and Trey Watts. Douglas is listed as the starter on the depth chart and should get at least as many carries in 2012. Trey Watts is not listed on the depth chart although he started 12 games at running back and is the team's second leading rusher from 2011 with 881 yards in addition to 242 yards receiving. Alex Singleton should get some playing time as well after gaining 279 yards rushing and catching 3 passes in 2011 as a backup. Langer, Cade and Flanders all look to play on special teams.

H-Back
34           Willie Carter 6-2 231 H-Back SR Crockett, Texas (Crockett)--Starting H-Back. 11 games played, 8 starts. 13 carries for 62 yards and 2 TD. 61 catches for 868 yards and 7 TD.
41           Cody Wilson 6-0 232 Linebacker JR Broken Arrow, Okla. (Lincoln Christian)--Backup H-Back.
33           Michael Sorrells                6-2 193 H-Back FR Austin, Texas (McCallum)--Incoming freshman. 3rd string.

Senior Willie Carter leads a group of H-Backs that do not have much experience beyond Carter. Carter started 8 games and had 13 carries to go along with an impressive 61 catches and 7 touchdowns in 2011. He will get the majority of the snaps at the position. Linebacker turned H-Back Cody Wilson looks to back Carter up and may need a year of seasoning to be ready to play on offense.

TE
85           Greg Brown 6-2 252 Tight End SO Bixby, Okla. (Bixby)--Starting tight end.
89           Matt Hesterberg 6-2 240 Tight End SR Houston, Texas (Houston Christian)--Backup tight end.
91           Colt Clontz 6-8 234 Tight End FR-RS El Maton, Texas (Tidehaven HS)--Redshirted in 2011. 3rd string.
87           Charlie Copa 6-3 259 Tight End SO-RS Austin, Texas (Syracuse University)--4th string.
40           Harrison Lowe 6-5 228 Wide Receiver SO-RS Tulsa, Okla. (Bishop Kelley)--5th string.
48           Colby Scott 6-2 233 Tight End SO-RS Enid, Okla. (Enid HS)--6th string.
??           Taylor Grove 6-5 240 Tight End SO Chandler, Ariz. (Phoenix CC)--JUCO transfer.
??           Tyler Wilson 6-7 260 Tight End SO Ponca City, Okla. (Ponca City)--No stats in 2011.

Tight end is a position that the Golden Hurricanes have lots of players but no ones that made any big contribution in 2011. Sophomore Greg Brown is the projected starter but will be challenged by senior Matt Hesterberg and redshirt freshman Colt Clontz. Copa, Lowe, Scott, Grove and Wilson are too far down the depth chart but could make an impact on special teams.

WR
88           Bryan Burnham 6-2 205 Wide Receiver SR Moorestown, NJ (Moorestown)--Starting wide receiver. 13 games played, 13 starts. 54 catches for 850 yards and 9 TD. 5 tackles.
26           Thomas Roberson 6-3 195 Wide Receiver SO Tulsa, Okla. (Union)--Starting wide receiver.
12           Jordan James 6-2 203 Wide Receiver JR Norco, La. (St. Thomas More)--Starting wide receiver. 12 games played, 10 starts. 31 catches for 391 yards and 1 TD. 1 tackle.
84           Freeman Kelley 5-11 195 Wide Receiver JR Lancaster, Texas (Lancaster)--Backup wide receiver. 12 games played. 1 catch for 11 yards. 22 kickoff returns for 20.9 yard average.
26           Samuel Crabtree 5-11 178 Wide Receiver JR Harrah, Okla. (Bishop McGuinness Catholic HS)--Backup wide receiver.
06           Derek Patterson 6-0 184 Wide Receiver FR-RS Kingfisher, Okla. (Kingfisher HS)--Redshirted in 2011. Backup wide receiver.
86           Zach Epps 6-5 200 Wide Receiver FR-RS Overland Park, Kan. (Blue Valley West HS)--Redshirted in 2011. 3rd string wide receiver.
80           Conner Floyd 6-1 197 Wide Receiver FR-RS Austin, Texas (Lake Travis HS)--Redshirted in 2011. 3rd string wide receiver.
01           Keyarris Garrett 6-4 207 Wide Receiver SO Daingerfield, Texas (Daingerfield HS)--3rd string wide receiver.  7 games played. 2 catches for 10 yards.
21           Gary Owens 5-9 182 Wide Receiver SO Mesquite, Texas (West Mesquite HS)--4th string wide receiver. 10 games played, 3 starts. 1 carry for -5 yards. 2 catches for 8 yards. 3 kickoff returns for 15.7 yard average. 2 tackles.
05           Ricky Johnson 6-2 217 Wide Receiver SR Lafayette, La. (Carencro)--13 games played, 2 starts. 14 catches for 197 yards and 4 TD. 1 tackle.
??           Joshua Atkinson 6-2 185 Wide Receiver SO Carrollton, Texas (The Oakridge School)--No stats in 2011.
30           Chris Showels 5-8 170 Wide Receiver SO-RS Round Rock, Texas (Vista Ridge)--No stats in 2011.

Tulsa returns two wide receivers that had solid 2011 season integrating themselves into the Golden Hurricane offense. Senior Bryan Burnham and junior Jordan James combined for 85 catches and over 1220 yards to go along with 10 touchdowns last season and will be expected to at least match those numbers in 2012. Thomas Robertson is the other projected starter although he did not catch any passes as a freshman. Kelley, Crabtree, Patterson, Epps, Floyd and Garrett all look to work themselves into the rotation and could make a big splash in 2012 for the Golden Hurricanes. Senior Ricky Johnson was not listed on the depth chart but should make an impact as well in 2012 after a 2011 season that saw him catch 14 passes and 4 touchdowns.

51           Gary Lee 6-5 283 Defensive Tackle FR-RS Tulsa, Okla. (Victory Christian HS)--Redshirted in 2011. 3rd string defensive tackle. No stats in 2011.
99           Derrick Luetjen 6-3 279 Defensive Tackle FR-RS Hennessey, Okla. (Hennessey HS)--Redshirted in 2011. 3rd string defensive end. No stats in 2011.
91           Alex Pace 6-3 274 Defensive Tackle JR Shaker Heights, OH (St. Edward HS)--3rd string defensive end. No stats in 2011.

??           Cory Rahmings 6-3 255 Defensive End SO Broken Bow, Okla. (Broken Bow)--No stats in 2011.

The starting 4 defensive linemen for the Tulsa defense made a combined 51 of 52 possible started among the line in 2011 and are all ready to make a huge impact for the Golden Hurricane defense this fall. Senior Cory Dorris (55 tackles), senior Derrick Jackson (25 tackles), senior Daeshon Bufford (33 tackles), and sophomore Brentom Todd (16 tackles) combined for 129 tackles on the defensive line and helped improve the Golden Hurricane defense in 2011. Jewell, King, Alexander, and St. John all are ready to spell the starting quartet and make some big defensive plays for Tulsa in 2012.

LB
55           Shawn Jackson 6-0 251 Linebacker JR Tulsa, Okla. (McLain)--Starting WLB. 13 games played, 13 starts. 101 tackles, 11 for loss. 4.5 sacks, 2 interceptions, 5 pbu, 1 fumble recovery, 1 forced fumble. 1 defensive touchdown. Suspended for first 3 games of 2012.

52           Josh Cunningham 6-2 205 Linebacker FR Claremore, Okla. (Claremore)--Incoming freshman. 4th string olb/db.
53           Jake Sizelove 6-0 211 Linebacker JR-RS Argyle, Texas (Argyle HS)--4th string MLB. No stats in 2011.
04           James Roberson 6-2 231 Defensive Back SO Tulsa, Okla. (Union)--4th string WLB. No stats in 2011.
47           Blake Abbott 6-0 223 Linebacker/Deep Snapper FR Liberal, Kan. (U. of Kansas)--Transfer from Kansas. 5th string MLB. No stats in 2011.
24           Zik Asiegbu 6-0 199 Linebacker SO Grand Prairie, Texas (James Bowie)--5th string olb/db. 12 games played. 9 tackles, 1 for loss.
??           Rob Riederer 6-1 212 Linebacker SO Holton, Kan. (Holton)--No stats in 2011.
??           Conner Sherwood 6-2 218 Linebacker SO Tulsa, Okla. (Cascia Hall)--No stats in 2011.
??           Craig Suits 6-1 210 Linebacker SO Sunnyvale, Texas (Mesquite Poteet)--No stat in 2011.

The Golden Hurricanes have a linebacker corps that is not very experienced other than all conference linebacker Shawn Jackson who made 101 tackles, 2 interceptions and a defensive touchdown in 2011. Jackson was suspended for the first 3 games of the 2012 season for a violation of team rules and will be sorely missed in a linebacker corps that has no starts from any other player last season. Junior Donnell Hawkins will be the middle linebacker after not making any tackles in his sophomore season. Senior defensive back/linebacker hybrid DeAundre Brown made 25 tackles as a reserve and looks to pick up some of the slack that Jackson left to his suspension. Jennings, Nelson and Martin all look to get in the rotation as backups with Nelson being thrust into a starting job for the first three games of the season.  

DB
22           Michael Mudoh 5-10 198 FS FR-RS Richmond, Texas (Bush HS)--Redshirted in 2011. Starting free safety. No stats in 2011.
07           Lowell Rose 6-0 192 Defensive Back SR Los Angeles, Calif. (UCLA)--Starting cornerback. 10 games played, 9 starts. 35 tackles, 2.5 for loss. 1 sack, 1 interception. 9 pbu.
21           John Flanders 5-10 170 Defensive Back SR Midwest City, Okla. (Midwest City)--Starting cornerback. No stats in 2011.
26           Dexter McCoil 6-4 222 Defensive Back SR Lutcher, La. (Lutcher)--Starting nickel back. 13 games played, 13 starts. 84 tackles, 3 for loss. 6 interceptions, 7 pbu. 1 defensive touchdown.
9              Dwight Dobbins 5-9 173 Defensive Back SO Midwest City, Okla. (Carl Albert HS)--Backup cornerback. 13 games played, 1 start. 12 tackles, 1 for loss. 1 interception, 3 pbu, 1 fumble recovery, 1 forced fumble. 1 defensive touchdown.
03           Zachary Lathrop 6-0 180 FS FR-RS Missouri City, Texas (John Foster Dulles)--Redshirted in 2011. 4th string free safety.
39           Marcus Pate 5-11 176 FS JR Austin, TX (Lake Travis HS)--Backup free safety. No stats in 2011.
15           J.D. Ratliff 5-9 170 Defensive Back SR Tylertown, Miss. (SW Mississippi CC)--Backup cornerback. 9 punt returns for 4 yard average. 13 games played. 15 tackles. 4 pbu.
30           Luke Snider 5-10 178 Defensive Back SO Tulsa, Okla. (Union)--Backup nickel back. 11 games played. 6 tackles.
46           Will Noel 5-11 170 Defensive Back SO-RS Colleyville, Texas (Grapevine)--3rd string nickel back. No stats in 2011.
10           Justin Skillens 5-9 175 Defensive Back SR Tulsa, Okla. (Booker T. Washington)--3rd string cornerback. 11 games played, 3 starts. 20 tackles. 1 pbu.
23           Darrell Williams 5-10 184 Defensive Back FR-RS Spring, Texas (Westfield HS)--Redshirted in 2011. 3rd string cornerback.
49           Bradley White 6-0 173 FS SO-RS Tyler, Texas (Grace Community School)--3rd string free safety. No stats in 2011.
20           Marco Nelson 6-0 192 FS JR Glenpool, Okla. (Glenpool)--4th string free safety. 3 punt returns for 7.3 yard average. 3 punt returns for 25.7 yard average. 13 games played, 13 starts. 73 tackles, 0.5 for loss. 5 pbu, 2 fumble recoveries.
37           Austin McDaniel 6-0 188 Defensive Back JR Waco, Texas (Midway HS)--4th string cornerback. No stats in 2011.
29           Jonathan Chavira 5-8 179 Defensive Back JR Purcell, Okla. (Purcell HS)--4th string cornerback. No stat in 2011.
06           Kwame Sexton 5-11 170 FS SO Tulsa, Okla. (Holland Hall HS)--5th string free safety. 11 games played. 20 tackles, 1.5 for loss. 1 fumble recovery.
01           Trent Wilkins 5-11 200 Defensive Back SR Duncan, Okla. (Duncan)--13 games played. 27 tackles.
??           Jeremy Brady 5-11 185 Safety SO North Little Rock, Ark. (Pulaski Academy)--No stats in 2011.
??           Matt Linscott 6-2 200 Safety SO Tulsa, Okla. (Jenks)--No stats in 2011.
??           Micheal Thomas 6-0 200 Safety SO Lawton, Okla. (MacArthur)--No stats in 2011.
??           Adam Boyd 6-1 195 Safety/Wide Receiver SO McAlester, Okla. (McAlester)--No stats in 2011.
??           Johnell Celistan 6-1 161 Cornerback SO Luling, La. (Hahnville)--No stats in 2011.
??           Darnell Walker, Jr. 5-11 165 Cornerback SO Bolivar, Mo. (Bolivar)--No stats in 2011.
42           Cody Lambert 6-0 199 Defensive Back SR Warren, Ark. (Warren)--No stats in 2011.

The secondary for the Golden Hurricanes is a bit of a mess in 2012 with only 2 of 4 projected starters making any starts in 2011. Seniors McCoil and Rose started a combined 21 games in 2011 and added 119 tackles for the defense and look to improve on those totals in 2012. Mudoh and Flanders are the other projected starters which is a bit of a surprise with quality free safety Marco Nelson (13 starts, 73 tackles) sitting at 4th on the depth chart at free safety after starting all 13 games in 2011. Nelson should work his way up the depth chart and at least be competing for a starting job by the time week one rolls around. Dobbins, Lathrop, Pate, and Ratliff all look to work into the rotation and get some playing time on defense this fall.

K
42           Chad Levin 5-9 166 Place Kicker FR-RS Bentonville, Ark. (Bentonville HS)--Redshirted in 2011.
28           Marshall Gilbert 5-10 150 Place Kicker JR-RS Tulsa, Okla. (Memorial HS)--No stats in 2011.
??           Daniel Schwarz 6-3 189 Place-Kicker SO Lawton, Okla. (MacArthur)--No stats in 2011.

The kicking game for the Golden Hurricanes is up in the air as none of the three returning kickers have any game experience. Redshirt freshman Chad Levin looks to be the leader in the clubhouse after redshirting in 2011 and learning the intricacies of the college kicking game. Gilbert and Schwarz both look to give Levin a run and honestly, any of the three could be the starter this fall.

P
28           Cole Way 6-8 205 Punter SO Tulsa, Okla. (Union)--34 punts for a 38 yard average and 7 punts inside the 20 yard line. 2 were blocked.

After a freshman campaign that saw him punt 34 times for a 38 yard average with 7 punts inside the 20 yard line, sophomore Cole Way needs to improve his average per kick to at least 40 yards to the Golden Hurricanes kicking game. His average was slightly stilted due to 2 of his 34 punts being blocked in 2011.

LS
85           Greg Brown 6-2 252 Tight End SO Bixby, Okla. (Bixby)--Starting tight end.
47           Blake Abbott 6-0 223 Linebacker/Deep Snapper FR Liberal, Kan. (U. of Kansas)--Transfer from Kansas. 5th string MLB. No stats in 2011.

Starting tight end Greg Brown looks to be the long snapper for the Golden Hurricanes after a solid 2011 season. He will be fighting with Kansas transfer Blake Abbott who is way down the depth chart at middle linebacker but could easily move into the starting job at long snapper.


2011 was a season that saw the Golden Hurricanes struggle at the beginning and end of the season. The beginning saw Tulsa lose to Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Boise State in starting the season 1-3. The Golden Hurricanes righted the ship during the middle of the season but lost their last two games putting them at 8-5 on the season. 2012 bring a lighter non-conference slate that includes trips to Arkansas and Iowa State plus home games versus Nicholls State and Fresno State. 3-1 is a distinct possibility for the Golden Hurricanes out of conference. The Golden Hurricanes miss both East Carolina and Southern Miss this season and play UCF at home. The road games versus SMU and Houston are the hardest to judge games in conference play. Another 8-5 season would be satisfactory although if they go 3-1 out of conference and beat SMU and Houston, 10-4 is very possible.
