This Purdue transfer came to FSU and played four different sports during his time in Tallahassee.

On the football field he started all but 1 game on offense in his first year here and set 2 seasonal records at the time with the number of passes caught and yards gained. In his first game for the Seminoles, he started at RE and recovered a fumble as part of the punt team. After the turnover, he turned around and caught a 19 yard TD pass. In the 3rd start of his career, he caught a TD pass in the 1st quarter. In the 3rd quarter of that game he helped to score after he caught a 30 yard pass and when 2 defenders began tackling him, he lateraled the ball to an OG who rumbled in the next 9 yards for the score. He tried a 3rd quarter catch and lateral to an OG again in the last game of the season, but it resulted in a fumble.

On the basketball court, in his first season he bettered the former school scoring record by ringing up 362 points. In his final season he was the captain of the team and his best game came against Miami scoring 26 points.

On the baseball diamond, he pitched and played first base. He didn't play much early in the season and with only 6 games left in the season, he started 3 of them on the mound batting 9th in the order and then started the last 2 games at first base and batting cleanup. His first start was against UGA on the road. He pitched 8.0 innings that day giving up only 2 runs with none being earned in a loss after FSU couldn't plate a single run. That 8.0 IP game would be the shortest outing of his career. Five days later he returned to the mound and pitched a complete game win. Just over a week later, he pitched 8.1 innings. He never gave up an earned run and still holds the record for a 0.00 ERA in a season. In the last 2 games of the season starting at first base and batting cleanup, he stole a base and scored a run in each game.

His senior year, he also played a little golf and helped the men's team in a tournament against Mercer.


He was also a part of the Men's "F" Club and member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Florida Beta Chapter.



Any idea who this is and the year(s) he did these things?
