Not sure I'd call Billy Cannon Jr obscure. He was a stud. Hardest hitter I ever saw. Long before The Hit, I saw him absolutely destroy a TCU RB (Marcus Gilbert, who was a stud for the Frogs) on a swing pass on the last play of the first half of the 82 game. I heard it LOUDLY on the second deck.

He also returned punts and was always being run out of bounds because he just would not go down. I think his sister also attended TAMU?

Toya Jones. Track star but also a defensive back. Much better in track than football, if I recall.

He made a huge play in that game. Knocked down a Hail Mary pass that would have won the game for KSU

Surprised I haven't seen the name come up yet, Chris Alexander. He was a heck of a fullback during the Fran era

I guess he was forgotten. Good thread to post it on.

I remember Keith Alex, because I bumped into him at a party. Nice guy. I thought he would be a little bigger being on the OL and all. But think he even managed to hang on an NFL team for a year or two as a backup.

Fran drove us to forget many things, unfortunately.

As I continue my stroll down memory lane, i'm surprised no one has mentioned…
David Walker-QB from Sulphur, Louisiana.
Ran the wishbone option as well as anyone in the game during the Emory Bellard era.
Last I heard I believe he lives in Houston.
Seems I recall he was interviewed on TexAgs a few years ago.

Well, he wouldn't exactly fit the bill as obscure...

One of my all-time favorites was "Big Play" Jay Brooks. Talk about a dude that could deliver big plays in clutch moments.

According to Google he's a police officer in Atlanta now. Good for him! And I wonder if anyone has ever tried to run from him...

I will remember him for the TD hail mary where he or someone tipped and caught it. I listened to it on the radio online. The comm said "Hail Mary? Why not!?".
Vs. OK State in Stillwater.

Jarrod Penright

First and second team all Big 12 linebacker. One of the last linebackers that looked like the wrecking crew backers of old.

I posted this on the other thread, but would be better here.

Sam Williams; first black football player to where an Aggie jersey (1969). Met him a few times back in the 90's. Nice guy.

surprised he didn't have a better pro career than the AFL. Kid was a stud and put up numbers. Another name that had slipped out of my reach.

I know there are a lot of folks out in the real world that read TexAgs. Any engineers out there ever cross paths with Jason Atkinson? He was a stud linebacker in the early 90s and CVEN major. I think he may have gotten a head degree too. I looked him up on TBPELS, and believe he works in the DFW area.

Dustin Long - threw a pretty long ball. He was tossed into a hard situation with coaching changes between RC and Fran eras. Didn't help him that he had a true Freshman phenom in Reggie McNeal nipping at his heels either. Would have liked to see how he would have done had he continued here. I believe he ended up being pretty successful once he transferred to Sam Houston.
