Inscription.
Unmatched in desire, competitiveness and commitment, he suffered a debilitating injury his junior year, but by the summer of his senior season he earned a starting role. Among many notable moments, his blocked extra point against Auburn in a classic 21-20 victory in 1969 was his crowning achievement. He was named both an All-American and All-SEC selection in 1969.
