Inscription.
An incredible athlete whose talents typified his play and teamwork, opponents were timid when it came to attacking his side of the defensive line. Even with his size, he was a speed merchant. In the 1966 Rice game, he picked off an errant pass and returned it for a touchdown. A 1967 All-American, he was also a two-time All-SEC selection in 1966 and 1967.

All-American
1967
