He predates me and, I assume, most of you. He played guard and tackle for the Mountaineers from 1952-1955. His #75 jersey is retired- and this school does not retire jerseys willy nilly. He was a first team All-American at WVU in 1955, played in the NFL championship game, and was a four time Pro-Bowler.
