I,watched him play in in high school, and we had a close common friend who was a teammate of his at Carson-Newman.  Got to have conversations with him on several occasions. 

Great player, class act. 

All true. Sparks, Hammontree, Ellis, Torbush, Bates, Quarles and many more were all names that are a part of his coaching circle. All great men in their own right, but very few like him.

His players all heard about his exploits as a dual sport athlete at Farragut/Carson Newman and if I'm not mistaken he got a brief shot in the NFL. To this day though I'll never get over how good he was as a kicker and punter. He could execute a perfect drop kick from distance and his punts to us during warm ups were Reggie Roby-esque with hangtime!

We need more good stories such as this.
