Good article on al.com about his college career.
Cliffs:
6 players from AL were drafted by MLB Frank's senior year of highschool. He thought he would be drafted and was crushed when he wasn't.
Dye told him AU would give him a football scholly and he could do both, just like Bo was in his senior year at AU.
Frank was a hell of a TE and contributed with several catches and playing as a true freshman on the 10-2 1986 AU team.
The next year Dye spoke to AUs baseball coach and asked him how good Frank was at baseball. Coach told Dye he was the best he had ever seen and a first round mlb talent.
Dye then told Frank he should just concentrate on baseball and Dye would let him stay on the football scholly and just play baseball if he wanted.
Frank proceeded to rewrite the AU record book winning consecutive team triple crown awards.

Surprising he is the first from the SEC. steroids allowed other players to grab the headlines.

How many were drafted from Georgia that year, since Frank grew up and played high school ball in Columbus?
Congratulations to the Big Hurt, though.
