Yes Sisson has been. Dude was clutch to say the least.
I must have missed it.Uhhhh.... I did cheese
Its in the OP. Thanks for reading...I must have missed it.
Can Maxie Baughn get some love? Dewberry. Renso Perdoni, Frank Broyles, Franklin Brooks. Even Pepper. Toppy Vann, Joe Auer.
ACC Rookie of the Year - Cory Collier How did he get left off?
Glad to see Ron Rogers show up. I always thought he was as good a college player as Brooking.
Here's the real 5. Must be 50 or over to make the list.
Rock Perdoni
Billy Lotheridge
Clint Castleberry
Ken Whisenhunt
Brent Cunningham
Good list. I did not see Castleberry but the rest are legit. I once saw Cunningham destroy Navy with over 250 yards rushing in 35 degrees and driving rain/sleet. Everyone in our upper deck section left at halftime except my brother and I . We stayed just had to see what Cunningham would do next! It was similar to what Eddie Lee did to Air Force in the rain.
Reflection like this always points out the multitude of great players (and great people) that have worn White and Gold. Gebhart was a classmate, and one of the nicest guys you'd want to meet. All America defensive end at 190 pounds. He benefitted greatly from the defensive genius of coach Carson. We have had Jack Rudolph mentioned, but how about Jake Rudolph in 1952? And there were six All America's on that 1952 team. Leon Hardeman, Buck Martin, Peter Brown, Hal Miller, Bobby Moorehead, and the legendary George Morris. We've had some good ones for a place that can't recruit quality athletes.Doesn't anyone remember watching Lucius Sanford play?
Too little, and too slow, whatever, but on the field, pound-for-pound, Smylie Gebhart was one of the best football players I have ever seen. And what a guy, friend of mine.
RIP Smylie!
Brent Cunningham was 5-6 or 5-7 at best, but , man was he put together. Blazing speed. Out of Eatonton in Putnam County. He was hard to see coming out of the backfield, and so fast that all he needed was that moment of indecision by the defense, and he was gone. Big, big heart. I had several classes with him and I bet I heard him speak less than 100 words in 3 years.Good list. I did not see Castleberry but the rest are legit.

Here's a game from youtube. Eddie Lee gets hurt, and the ending isn't good but you get to see something. Also Cooksey, father of current recruit plays NT for us. I won't embed because of endi ng
