Steve Spurrier.

 

I don't think there is another TN native with a Heisman.

 

He also was Prep All-American in 1962 as a Senior at Science Hill as a QB and Kicker. He was undefeated in three years as the 'Toppers star Pitcher. Also played basketball...not sure of those accolades. And yes, he was the only native Tennessean to recieve the Heisman.

Darwin Bond was a three time Prep All American at DB in the early 70's. He still holds the 440yd./400meter TSSAA record. He was undedeated in his tenure at DB. He went on to star at UT. I don't think he played other sports but I'm not sure. Bill Justus was All American at Fulton HS in Knoxville in the 60's in football and basketball. I was in the 8th grade when he was drafted in the NBA, ABA, and the NFL all at the same time. I'm sure there are more that I'm unaware of. But like it or not I think Spurrier tops them all.

I played gaurd and had the duty of blocking both collins brothers.................thus the bad shoulder,knees,etc.

I also played against Todd Helton.

And how could I forget...Yes, PatriotMan Reggie White was the man. Graduated from Chattanooga Howard in 78'/79'. Was All American in Football and Basketball. Was not a Heisman but made up for it in his pro career spanning 15 years. Played at UT...what a man. Any one know if Spurrier was All American in basketball or not?

Randy Hall from halls was a all american in 86 or 87 I think. Played OL for Halls.
