100%I think we recruited him as an outside linebacker. Boots had a real eye for talent. Many of his 1AA recruits could have been stars in our current program. Calico was a freak!
And I think very soon after that they put in the horse-collar rule.Yep, I agree. Roy Williams ended Calico's career with that horse collar tackle and destroyed his knees.
Anybody know what Calico is up to these days? I believe he had some legal issues a while back.
I'm guessing he received a fat insurance settlement for a “career-ending” injury. And he was most likely tired of the grind.... his injuries should not have ended his career. The rehab would have been hard but has been completed by many players and he wasn't able/willing to do it.
I think Terrell Owens going down in 2004 as an Eagle after a Roy Williams horse collar tackle got the most attention.And I think very soon after that they put in the horse-collar rule.
