Bye Week Question - Favorite Non-Household name Vol of all time?

[I Love Lamp]

Who is your favorite Vol that anyone outside of Tennessee fandom would likely not know who they were?

Mine? easy…Raynoch Thompson. That guy seemed to be just everywhere while in orange and his name is probably what has stuck with me the most for some reason. Didn’t work out for him the pros too well but he was a great college player for us.

If you have to ask this question then you obviously are too young to know and remember Rod Wilks.

Lee Otis Burton

He was diagnosed with some sort of blood disease and had to stop playing football or he would have been mentioned along with Reggie White as one of our all time great D linemen.

He was my suite-mate in North Carrick one summer quarter. Dogs were prohibited, but he had one in his room. Super guy.

Herman Lathers, what a G

 

[J C Higgins]

Many but Joe Graham stands out because he was a terrific player whose career was shortened by injuries

Addendum: Another that I have to mention. Tommy Fisher. Mid 60's linebacker who was killed in an automobile accident...... his junior year I think.

 

[BubbaDoc]

He's actually a household name if you're a Vol fan...Eric Westmoreland

 

[imavolfan]

Jim Bob Cooter. Because of the name

Defensive lineman who chased down Notre Dame’s stud running back, Vagas Ferguson from behind. Could have been all world.

Paul Bain. Dude had to study, practice, and work a job to pay his way. CJP put him on scholarship his last year. I liked his work ethic and his desire to play for the Vols.

Bill Duff...stopped Eddie George cold as Vols beat Ohio State in 1996 Citrus Bowl. He later became an expert in Korean Street Fighting, known as the "Human Weapon."

Ryan Karl and Nick Reveiz.

Cedrick Wilson. Underrated receiver for us back in the day.
