PLAYERS TO WATCH TEAM NOTES Named OVC Freshman of the Year after shattering Tennessee Tech receiving records in 2008...Led the OVC in receptions (68), a Tech single-season record which put him just outside the TTU career top 10 (22 catches away) after just one season...Had 10 touch- downs, which tied the Golden Eagle single-season record...Totalled 782 total receiving yards during the season (65.2 yards/game), which was the seventh- best total in school history...Had a season-high 10 catches (one shy of school record) against Austin Peay, where he racked up 123 total yards and two scores. • Junior running back/kicker returner Henry Sailes was tabbed a third-team preseason All-American by the Sports Network prior to the 2009 season. As a return man in 2008, Sailes handled 16 kickoffs for 449 yards (28.1 yards/return) including an 87-yard touchdown. Sailes has explosive speed and sees action as a running back, including catching a lot of passes out of the backfield. A year ago he had 47 catches (second- most on the team) for 344 yards and two touchdowns. He carried the ball 72 times for a team-high 433 yards and four scores as well. • Now in his third season with the program, head coach Watson Brown has his most experienced team. The Golden Eagles return 46 lettermen from last year, including nine starters on both offense and defense. • Two years ago the Golden Eagles played in front of 85,754 fans at Auburn, the largest crowd to ever see an OVC football team play. Tennessee Tech may break that record this season as they will play at national power Georgia on Nov. 7. Last season the Bulldogs averaged 92,746 fans at six home games. • Tennessee Tech also holds the OVC record for most fans to see a Conference game. On November 6, 1999 there were 41,132 fans at Tennessee State to see the Golden Eagles and Tigers play. Last season that game drew 24,361 fans to LP Field in Nashville in what was the sixth-largest crowd for a Conference game. • Senior quarterback Lee Sweeney enters his final year of college football chasing several records. He needs just two completions to break the Tech mark of 832 and two touchdowns to break the Golden Eagle career mark of 38. Sweeney is also just 572 yards of total offense away from the top mark in TTU history. CHARLIE SEIVERS Junior • Defensive Line 6-3 • 250 • Knoxville, Tenn. 2009 Preseason All-OVC Team selection...After play- ing tight end in 2007, moved to the defensive side of the ball in 2008...Ranked fourth on his team in tackles (65) while ranking first on his team and sixth in the league in quarterback sacks (5.0)...Against Eastern Kentucky had a career-high 12 tackles including 2.5 tackles-for-loss...Had eight tackles against Tennes- see State and seven against each Austin Peay and Jacksonville State. |
