Leonard Little

Splitting time at middle linebacker and defensive end, Leonard Little earned a reputation for his hard hits and quarterback sacks. Little earned All-America status his senior year in 1997 and was named the Associated Press' SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year. He had a team-leading 87 tackles and collected 8.5 quarterback sacks in leading the Vols to the 1997 SEC championship. He finished his career ranked second to Reggie White on UT's all-time sack list with 28, which included 11 his sophomore year. Little had 10 multi-sack games in his three-year career. He also placed second on the career list of quarterback pressures with 42.

His takedown of Freddie Kitchens in '96 was EPIC!

He stunted and pressured Kitchens into a bad INT early on and hit him so hard they should have changed his name to Freddie Cellars. Bama had to limit their offense all game to account for Little. Then that last strip to seal it. It was sweeter somehow than the win in 1995 because that was far and away Bama's best possible game and they still weren't good enough.
