Don’t you just love nicknames?
How about Wayne “Thumper” Harris, perhaps the best linebacker in Arkansas football history? He was a two-time All-American in 1959-60 and later was a dominant player in the Canadian Football League.
It’s doubtful that he picked his own nickname, but he loved it and lived up to it with his play.
The one exception to picking your own nickname has to be college bands.
