Played for McNeese Cowboys in 1970 (red shirt) & 1971 (lettered). Undefeated reg season in 71 but lost to Tennessee State in the Grantland Rice Bowl 26-23 (Baton Rouge).
From Tennessee State, three players were selected in the 1972 NFL Draft – defensive back Clifford Brooks, linebacker Robert Stevenson, and quarterback Joe Gilliam. Players later selected in the 1973 NFL Draft include tackle Robert Woods, tight end Jim Thaxton, wide receiver Ollie Smith, defensive end Will Wynn, and wide receiver Charlie Wade. Sophomore defensive end Ed "Too Tall" Jones would be the number one pick in the 1974 NFL Draft.
From McNeese State, guard Mike O'Quinn was selected in the 1972 NFL Draft. Running back Larry Grissom was inducted to his university's hall of fame in 1985,[3] as was safety Billy Blakeman in 2009.[4] Quarterback Greg Davis went on to be the head coach at Tulane, and offensive coordinator for several college teams (Texas).
