Steve Emtman (sorry, only been a Vols fan for a week)

Got lots....Larry Seivers, Condredge (was in Psych class with him....girls were crazy 'bout him, Alan Cockrell, Carl Pickens (got a jersey signed by him).

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Tony Robinson

Hard to choose just one but offensively Johnnie Jones and defensively Reggie White. There are so many more to choose from but I will say Shazzon Bradley because I got to play golf with him a few times.

Walter Chadwick. Had a poster of him on the wall in my bedroom in HS.

Go Vols!

Eric Berry & Casey “The Iceman” Clausen were my favorites during my youth. Today, it is probably Jalin Hyatt.

Switching over to basketball, Ron Slay & Vincent Yarbrough were my faves growing up. Recent players would definitely be Grant Williams & Admiral Schofield.

Who was your first favorite college football player?



For me it’s Condrege Holloway.

Bobby Majors....yes I am that old.

Yep, me too. On both items - I am that old as well.

Chuck Webb

 

[Hank Bukowski]

Willie Gault without a doubt.

I loved Condredge and Haskel Stanback but I’m with you on Willie. He was the MAN, especially with those white cleats blurring up the TV on his way to the house.

Welcome! Glad you stumbled upon this forum. We all were Vol fans for a week at some point!

Next step is to come see a home game, over 100,000 people on any given Saturday cant be wrong!

The Little Giants dude? jk

 

[SNAFU]

Al Wilson, without him, no Natty

 

[TennTom]

Larry Seivers, who was a consensus All American WR in 1975 and 1976.

When I saw JJ McCleskey grab his crotch at the gator fans in the 92 Rain Game, he was my top guy.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Ricky Townsend

Yes, that is Condredge holding and how his jersey usually looked.

 

[JoAllan]

Condrege Holloway and for me it wasn’t ever close.

I was young and became a Vol lifer because of him…….and the orange and white.

I remember back in the day thinking he was definitely different than me. I had never really seen or noticed a colored person doing what he was doing as a QB……….I was hooked!!!

No one in my family really watched college football and no one followed the Vols. However Condrege Holloway made me a Vol.
