They furthermore promise and swear to abide by and stand firm to the rules and regulations of the program and it is not only their right, but their duty to leave behind a legacy that will ensure the successes of Newberry College Football for ages to come.” • The Order represents less than just over five percent of the football program as a whole. • The 12 current members of the Order of the Gray Stripe are - Brandon Bostick, senior wide receiver, Florence, S.C.

NEW NICKNAME, NEW REFERENCES • After two seasons without a nickname for its athletic programs, Newberry College is now known as the “Wolves”. • There is no color associated with the Wolves nickname (i.e. Red Wolves). Any reference as such should be avoided. • The current logo for all programs is now the “Wolf N” . All references to the older Block N should be phased out. It will be replaced at midfield with the new logo prior to the October 1 game vs. Mars Hill . STRONG AT THE LINE • The Wolves are now tied for the national lead in Division II in fewest sacks allowed, having given up only two sacks this season. • Newberry, Humboldt State and Texas A&M-Commerce have each allowed only two sacks in six games.
