COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With several generations of Golden Eagle football standouts converging on the Tennessee Tech’s Athletic Performance Center on Saturday as the program held its annual Spring Game, head coach Dewayne Alexander and his staff took time to honor the team’s 2022 award winners for the team’s Letterwinners’ Breakfast. After honoring the 2022 seniors in presence – Heath Price, David Gist, Tai Carter, Jake Huner, Ben Baugh, Christian Watson, Seth Carlisle, Jeremiah Oatsvall, Josh Reliford and Bryson Garrett – Alexander then recognized the academic achievers. Starting with the Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll honorees – which included Huner, Gist, Hayden Olsen, Nate Hodnett, Kail Dava, Price, Watson, Isaac Cross and Hunter Barnhart – Alexander then pointed out the 2023 National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society honorees with Carlisle, Oatsvall, Reliford, Watson and Spencer Stachyra.

Tech defense shines in Purple/Gold Spring Game

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech football fans got their first look at the 2023 Golden Eagles squad as players competed in the program’s annual Purple and Gold Spring Game on Saturday afternoon at Tucker Stadium. The scrimmage was the finale of this year’s spring practice, during which Coach Dwayne Alexander’s sixth Tennessee Tech team sought to lay a solid foundation for the upcoming season. The sun was out and so was the ball as the Golden Eagles defense took advantage of a poor exchange in the offensive backfield on the first play from scrimmage, pouncing on the loose football for an early fumble recovery.

Carlisle, Barnhart named to FCS ADA Academic All-Star Team

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association (FCS ADA) announced its 25th annual Academic All-Star Team on Tuesday. Each member institution was limited to two nominees and with the Tennessee Tech football team putting together another strong semester academically with two student-athletes with a perfect 4.0-grade point average, followed by another 14 with a 3.5 or better, 51 with a 3.0 or better, there were certainly plenty of candidates to go around.

No. 25 NC Central tops Golden Eagles on last-second field goal

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech came so close to ending the season on a high note. After taking the lead with 2:43 remaining after quarterback Jeremiah Oatsvall pushed forward on 1st-and-goal among the scrum for a score, the Golden Eagles just had to get a stop to top No. 25 North Carolina Central and win its first game against a Top 25 team since 2014. And it appeared Tech had gotten that stop – facing 4th-and-9 on its own 29, Davius Richard completed a pass to Latrel Collier and it appeared that Collier might have fallen short of the first-down marker and the call on the field granted the first down. After the review, the visiting Eagles were granted the first down. Instead of getting to line up in victory formation and run out the clock, Tech had to stay on offense.
