His toughness served as an example to the entire team and was a key reason why he was so respected by teammates and opponents alike.His greatest honor came in 1998 when, with his college coach Vince Dooley at his side, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He was also inducted into the Miami Dolphins Hall of Honor in 2010.At Cairo High School, he was a three-sport star who excelled in football, basketball and track with achievements unmatched in each. He was named the 1964 Class Double-A Lineman of the Year in the state of Georgia after leading his team to three straight Region championships. He led the 1965 Cairo basketball team to the state championship and was named MVP of the state tournament. He added three state Double-A discus championships and one shot put title to his list of accomplishments.As a defensive tackle at Georgia, he played on two SEC championship teams in 1966 and 68, played in three bowl games, and in games he started, the Bulldogs were 25-6-2. He was a second team All-American in 1966 and 67 and in 1968 was a consensus All-American becoming Georgias first and only winner of the Outland Award which goes annually to the nations outstanding college lineman.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Steve Pikiell may have taken the biggest challenge in college basketball in taking over at Rutgers.The long-term goal is to get the Scarlet Knights back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1991.The short-term goal is simply a winning season. Thats something Rutgers has not had 2005-06, which was Gary Waters final season.Fred Hill Jr. didnt have a winning season over the next four years and Mike Rice and Eddie Jordan each failed in three years at the helm.Pikiell replaced Jordan this spring, taking over a team that posted a 7-25 record, including a 1-17 mark in the Big Ten Conference.Ive talked about this from the first day I got the job, about embracing the challenge, said Pikiell, who came from a successful stint at Stony Brook. Thats part of it. We have a theme, night and day, were trying to change things and make that a night and day kind of situation. But weve embraced it. Up in the locker room I want to challenge them. Were trying to change culture.The biggest change for the program this season might be healthy bodies. There were days last season where Jordan didnt have enough players to go 5-on-5.Pikiell had 14 players at practice the other day.Rutgers has two starters back from last season, guards Corey Sanders and Mike Williams . The rest of the starting five has not been set but guard Nigel Johnson, center C.J. Gettys and forward Deshawn Freeman have a shot to fill out the starting lineup.There is a lot more depth up front with Jonathan Laurent, Candido Sa, and freshmen Eugene Omoruyi and Issa Thiam.Weve added some good pieces and some shooters, which we needed, a couple ball handlers, and trying to get their mindset changed, Pikiell said. I really think we can be good defensively.Here are somme other things to watch this season from the Scarlet KnightsCOREY SANDERSThe sophomore guard considered going to the NBA but decided to return.dddddddddddd He played roughly 33 minutes a game last season. Led Big Ten freshmen in scoring (15.9), steals (1.8) and assists (4.3) ... Played in 27 games, with 24 starts ... He was suspended late in the season for violating team rules and that cant happen again.I think Corey can be one of the better defenders in the league, Pikiell said.BIG TEN WOES:The Scarlet Knights have posted a 3-33 regular-season record in two seasons in the conference. They were on the verge of a winless season when they knocked off Minnesota in the regular-season finale.SHAQRedshirt sophomore center Shaq Doorson came to Rutgers from the Netherlands as somewhat of a project. He played in 29 games as a freshman and was expected to contribute a little more last season before hurting his foot and missing the season. The 7-footer is back this year and he is 45 pounds lighter. It should be interesting to see what he does.REBOUNDING:Rutgers was outrebounded by 221 rebounds in 32 games last season, thats almost seven a game.We practice long. A ton of defensive stuff and a ton of rebounds, Pikiell said. We were one of the worst rebounding teams in the country, and were trying to change that. And it takes time. It takes time for guys to buy into that. And theyve bought in as best they can. But Ive been through it before. So we have to be patient with them. Theyre not where I want them to be today, but theyre getting a little closer.---AP college basketball website: http://collegebasketball.ap.org/ ' ' '
