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.

    • One final thought. Coach Keith claims he was not aware of the player's failing grades. I won't comment on that, just to say this, IF he did not, whose job was it to see that this kid did not play ball at CHS? That person should be looking for a job and they might be, I don't know.
    • They have fired the principal, 2 teachers, at least 1 counsellor and 1 coach so far. I don't see it from my view in Oak Ridge as a coach thing, he  was just implicated in asking 1 teacher to  fix 1 kid's grades.   In our local media(Clinton and Oak Ridge)the principal is who is the originator and pusher of the fraud. The others are peripheral. The coach isn't even the big story, just here on a sports site.  The media view is the principal did it to cause CHS to be seen as excellent by the state. He committed fraud to do that so he might spend a little time in jail IF that is valid.
    • And from coach himself, he wasn’t told he was let go because of the ineligible player.    that’s just what the schools needed to happen to fit their bull 
    • Wish it was made clear before a coach gets let go or not retained instead of being sold as the reason he was in trouble. I was told the kids who got grades changed, 97% or better were non athletes but the coach is taking all the heat so the schools can pretend it wasn’t their job to know. heck, what do you think could happen when you hire husband and wife as head principal and head guidance….   that’s not being said though…
    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe.  Last time I came up there to watch my pirates one of those guys in that pickup trucks flattened the tires on the lawnmower.  This is payback.  You can bet the lawnmower on that.
