Former Tech player remaining part of football program

Ever since I was a kid, I always dreamed of being just like my father and playing big-time college one football. Having played in the SEC for Ole Miss in the early 1980’s and in the NFL and USFL after that, my father loved football and all that it represented. He inspired that same love and motivation in me.

I love the game. For as long as I can remember, I was doing something related to football. Beginning about second grade, I started playing organized football and spent many a spring and summer day working on blocking techniques, running up and down the field and trying to get better.
