Ashley Beverly-Kelley – Women’s Basketball
The top scorer in Troy’s Division I history, Ashley Beverly-Kelley, led the renaissance of Troy Women’s Basketball from 2012 until 2016. A Mid-Major All-American in 2015, Beverly-Kelley finished her Troy career with 1,973 points, second to only Denise Monroe, also a Troy University Sports Hall of Fame member. A three-time All-Sun Belt selection, Beverly-Kelley was named the MVP of the 2016 Sun Belt Conference Tournament; scored 17 points in the Sun Belt Championship Game, hitting the go-ahead game-winning jumper with 20 seconds left in a 61-60 win over Little Rock. The title propelled the Trojans to just their second NCAA appearance in program history and started a run of three trips to March Madness over a five-year period. She netted 46 points in a victory at Georgia Southern her junior season; it was the most points scored by a women’s player all season at the NCAA Division I level. Beverly-Kelley is Troy’s DI leader in field goals made, free throws made and steals, while ranking fifth at the DI level in assists. She parleyed her collegiate career into a successful professional career, where she has played overseas since graduation, including leagues in France, Israel and Russia.
 
Ted Clem – Football
A two-time National Champion with the Trojans, Ted Clem will always be remembered for his heroics in the 1984 National Championship Game. A freshman, Clem kicked a 50-yard field goal as time expired to rally Troy past North Dakota State, 18-17, to win the NCAA Division II National Championship. Clem’s legacy at Troy is far greater than one kick, as he ranks first in program history in career extra-points made (166) and second in career field goals made (48). He made 16 field goals in Troy’s two National Championship seasons (1984 and 1987), which are tied for the eighth most in a season in program history, while his 105 points scored during Troy’s 1987 title run rank as the third most in program history. A two-time first team All-Gulf South Conference selection, Clem stands along at the top of the Troy career record book with 310 career points scored, 26 more than the next closest Trojan. Clem ranks fourth all-time in Gulf South history with his 48 career field goals and 310 career points. 
 
Jason Fawcett – Baseball
The 1997 Mid-Continent Pitcher of the Year, Jason Fawcett, set the program record with 141 strikeouts that season, a mark that still stands true today. Fawcett’s 34 career victories and 425 strikeouts (150 more than the next closest Trojan) stand alone as the most in program history, while his 55 starts over his four-year Troy career rank as the second most in the storied history of Troy Baseball. A three-time All-Mid-Continent First Team selection, Fawcett finished his career with 18 complete games and a 3.95 ERA over his 64 appearances. His complete game total is just one shy of the program record, while his 394.2 career innings pitched also rank second best. His Pitcher of the Year season saw the right-hander post an 11-3 record with 141 strikeouts over 123.1 innings of work, this coming after a junior campaign in which he posted a 3.22 ERA, 98 strikeouts and a 10-2 record over 92.1 frames. The Trojans made a pair of NCAA Regional appearances during Fawcett’s career in 1995 and 1997.
 
Larry Groce – Football
A member of Troy’s first-ever National Championship team, Larry Groce was a two-time selection to the Alabama Collegiate Conference All-Conference Team as a linebacker after beginning his career as a kicker at Memphis State. Groce helped lead the then-Red Wave to a combined 19-3 record, a pair of Alabama Collegiate Conference titles and eventually the 1968 NAIA National Championship. Following his playing career, Groce continued to serve Troy University, acting as the president of the Troy University National Alumni Association from 1981 to 1983. He was named Troy University Alumnus of the Year in 1998 and was selected to the Troy University School of Accounting Hall of Honor in 1993. A 2012 inductee into the Limestone County Sports Hall of Fame, Groce followed his athletic career with a successful professional career as an accountant.
 
Anthony Rabb – Football
The 1999 Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year, Anthony Rabb, led one of the best defensive units in Troy Football history. During his four-year career, Rabb’s defenses posted three of the top-four scoring defenses in program history, while his other season ranked as the 10^th best. Troy’s 1997 defense, on which Rabb played a key role, allowed just 248.6 yards per game, the fewest in school history, while the 1999 and 1998 units rank second and third, respectively. A two-time All-Southland Conference selection, Rabb ranks fourth all-time in program history with 407 career tackles, fourth in solo tackles with 235 and fifth in assisted tackles with 172. He was also a menace in the backfield, totaling 33.5 tackles for loss in his career, the eighth most in program history, and was named to the Southland Conference’s All-Decade team for the 90s. Rabb’s 23 tackles against Middle Tennessee in 1999 still rank as the most in a game in program history and stand as one of just four 20-tackle games in this history of Troy Football.
 
Corey Robinson – Football
One of the best quarterbacks in Troy Football history, Corey Robinson, is Troy’s leader in six different categories. The 2010 Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year, Robinson stands alone in Troy history in passing yards (13,477), total offense (13,141), completions (1,179), touchdown passes (81), passing yards per game (280.8) and attempts (1,823). He led the Trojans to a 2010 Sun Belt title and victory over Ohio in the New Orleans Bowl, where he was named the MVP after completing 32-of-42 passes for 387 yards and four touchdowns. Robinson is responsible for three of the top nine passing seasons in program history, including ranking second with 3,726 yards in 2010. Additionally, Robinson’s 28 touchdown strikes in 2010 rank as the fourth most in a season. His 13,141 yards of total offense, 1,179 completions and 13,477 passing yards all stand as Sun Belt career records, and he finished his career as a three-time All-Sun Belt selection. 
 
Rick Stetson – Track & Field
A captain in the United States Army and Ranger during the Vietnam War, Rick Stetson, helped lead Troy to the 1972 NAIA District title. During his Troy career, Stetson set the program’s two-mile record (9:09) in addition to records for the three-mile run and steeplechase. Following his athletic career on the track, Stetson became Troy’s first admissions counselor and eventually the director of alumni affairs, in addition to working with Troy University Sports Hall of Fame member Doc Anderson with Troy’s cross country team. Stetson took over the track & field program following Anderson’s departure, coached Troy University Sports Hall of Fame member Steve Venable, and hired Troy University Sports Hall of Fame member Charles Oliver. During his undergraduate years, Stetson was the sports editor for the Tropolitan. After graduation, he stayed in the media industry, serving as the public address announcer and radio play-by-play broadcaster for Troy football and basketball games. A decorated Army veteran, Stetson risked his life leading a long-range reconnaissance patrol unit to find enemy troops, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star with a “V” designation for his valor in combat in Vietnam.
 
Marcus Woody – Track & Field
A two-time All-American and three-time winner of the James Batie Award for Troy’s Outstanding Track Athlete, Marcus Woody was a dynamic athlete during his tenure with the Trojans. One of the top 800m runners in the nation during his career, Woody’s 1:49.40 time in the event still ranks as the fastest time in program history as he would go on to finish fourth at the 1993 NCAA Division II National Championship Meet and fifth in the 1992 NCAA Division II National Championship Meet. In addition to his prowess on the track, Woody was also an outstanding competitor in cross country, where he was a three-time All-Gulf South Conference selection. He turned in a top-five finish at the Southeast Region Cross Country Championship and went on to become Troy’s top finisher at the 1992 NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships. Following his collegiate career, Woody served as a graduate assistant coach at Troy before eventually becoming an assistant coach from 1995-98.
