Does Gibril Wilson count? He was a lesser known Vol but a fairly known pro.

Tyrone Hines, no question. I loved watching that guy fly all over the place.

I really liked Jaime Rotella, a linebacker who played from about 1970-1972. He was the son of a famous coach from New Jersey who wanted to go to UT but was not granted a scholarship. When a ride came up at the very end, the Vols gave it to Rotella. . .and he became an All-American. Not real fast, but very physical and a leader!

Bernie Veazey

Will Bartholmew

And some guy named Manning I think. I forget.

Oh, and Billy Ratliff, just because of his picture on the old jumbotron.

Jeremaine Copeland - slow senior season, but consistent with great hands. If he had more speed he would have made it in the NFL. Long CFL career.

Bill Duff, Craig Faulkner, Paul Yatkowski (sp), Constatine Ritzman, Billy Ratliff, Will Bartholomew (sp).

Also kinda iffy on the lesser know, but Eric Westmorland.

thanks for the Fred White. I was fixin' to post that. He was a local out of Griffin, Ga. A once prominent/dominant 4A program now gone south the last decade or so. UT used to recruit Griffin High quite often over the years. Probably not so much anymore. Fred was the last I remember coming to UT, or other major D1 programs.

They might not be lesser known, but it doesn't seem like people talk about them too much. I remember Todd Kelly and Daryl Talley (sp?) terrrorized offenses when I was a kid in the early 90's.
