About time bigD, I held off count down for you to post. BTW if you want a LB ,poundfor pound was a terror, Jack Card all 5'8" 155 lbs of him...he played ILB and would lay the wood on you. Played during Spurrier years. He was nicknamed Wild Card. Another great who played lights out against AU in mid 1970s was Ralph Ortega, who played alongside Glenn Cameron. Ortega was a AA as a senior
Another awesome LB was Sammy Green during the wishbone era in the mid 1970s....dude had 202 tackles as a senior.
Wilbur Marshall came to UF as a TE and quickly moved to OLB. He almost singlehandly beat USC (west coast) was in the backfield quicker than the snap....I believe Sean Salisbury was the hapless QB.

I played with Wilbur at UF.
