K/P Nick Madonia earns 2018 Robert Hill Johnson Award, Tech Football's highest honor

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – There were plenty of players that had standout performances for the Tennessee Tech football team this season, but if you were to single it down to the one player that probably meant the most to the Golden Eagles in the 2018 campaign, senior kicker/punter Nick Madonia would be the overwhelming response. The numbers he put up, the situations he faced and the leadership he provided were evident all season, and it made him an easy selection for the 2018 Robert Hill Johnson Award winner. The award, the Tech football team’s highest honor, is voted on by his teammates.

Tech falls to No. 7 Kennesaw State 49-10

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech football team came out on fire Thursday night as it hosted No. 7 Kennesaw State, but the Owls put on a showcase of their triple-option offense, rolling to a 49-10 win over the Golden Eagles. It wasn’t all negatives for Tech (0-2) though. Freshman Bailey Fisher threw the first touchdown of his career, sending a five-yard strike to a wide-open Alex Carling. Fisher ended the game with 179 passing yards on 19-of-30 passing, while also rushing eight times for 38 yards.

But nationally, 1,200 of those student-athletes had received their degrees and continued to wear their school colors proudly. The National Football Foundation released its annual list of graduate student-athletes on Wednesday with three Tennessee Tech players among the list as Alex Carling, Melvin Holland Jr. and Josh Poplar were represented.

Alexander, Golden Eagles looking past ninth-place OVC projection

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech head football coach Dewayne Alexander knew exactly what the gravity of the situation was as he was coming into his first Ohio Valley Conference Football Media Day as the leader of the Golden Eagles. After a 1-10 season last year, a last-place projection was pretty much expected. However, that doesn’t mean Alexander and his Tech players are going to be complacent with the ninth-place pick.
