a guy on another board related this story. I was wondering what Little Man was rated coming out.

The James Stewart story is particularly interesting to me.. I was told that Larry Lacewell, our D-Coordinator at the time, saw James Stewart on film while looking at a D-recuit, and told the rest of the staff, .... "I don't know why you're flying all over the country trying to find a running back because the best one I've seen is just a few miles up the road". Stewart was from Morristown and might not have even been offered if not for Lacewell. All Little Man did during his time here was become the Vols all-time leading rusher.

Yeah, Little Man is from my hometown. He was a heck of a runner at Morristown West High. M'town West doesn't produce that talent anymore.

I thought Travis Henry held the all time leading rusher record. I thought his record is the one Foster will be chasing this year.

BTW, I agree, little man was a stud!

Henry is the current record holder, but the record was previously held by James Stewart.
