KENNETH SPOON—1947. Very few could match his abilities in football. A bruising runner with the speed of a “scat back”, he scored from any position on the field. He could run and pass and was solid on defense. He led the team in every offensive category and was the workhorse for the great undefeated team of 1946. He rushed for over 1000 yards each of his playing years. His power as a hitter in baseball is still talked about. He was personally recruited by Gen. Neyland for the University of Tennessee. He was elected as a charter member to the Hall of Fame in 1970. |
