He went to Pitt (when Marino was there); bulked up to 230 and started at DE/OLB opposite Chris Doleman. He was drafted by Kansas City; slimmed back down to about 215 and stuck around for a few years as a special teams player with the Chiefs and Bills.
I played college ball at Carson Newman. It was a very small school, but they had a legendary coach in Ken Sparks. He won 339 games, made the playoffs 22 times, played in 8 championship games, and won 4. While there I played with Van Williams, a RB who played for the Bills and Giants, and Boyce Green who was the Browns leading rusher in 1984 and later played for the Seahawks and Chiefs.
I was a good high school player (LB), but I was just not motivated in college. It was not as much fun, and I realized that college was going to be about classwork instead of football for me. I was actually able to set a couple of team records, but they involved masturbation and bong hits, so I transfered to a larger school (UT-Chattanooga) to finish my undergraduate degree.
Another career cut short by the dreaded pulled groin. Or as they say in the south, pulled “grow in.”
