After receiving All-SEC honors as an offensive guard in 1964, I was asked to play defense tackle to boster our defense in 1965. I did so gladly, and it was said of me by the defense coordinator, coach Gene Ellenson, that my play was “near about the best he’d seen at Florida.” At the conclusion of that  season, I was named to all the college post season games (All-American, College All Star, etc, etc, etc) as an offensive guard, having never played a single down that season at that position.
