Jim Duggan (Hacksaw) was good but if you are going to add an Offensive Lineman (other than Richards) I think it would have to be Henry Sheppard

I would think Oscar Roan merits some consideration here, considering he played both football and basketball at SMU and excelled at both. Can't think of anyone else that did that at SMU. Great athlete.

Oh, Lars for sure. Wow, how did I miss that. I wrote "Brian" when I meant "Ryan" . . Berube (was part of gold medal winning relay team after all). Who was the female diver that was really good? I can't remember her name. Competed in Olympics - was there when I was there and same time as Ryan. If we add Ross and Sasser, we need to add Nic and Gerald Lewis IMHO.

Cheryl Santini

We also had a Swedish high jumper, Kajsa Berqvist, who set some world records at the time and won an olympic medal or two.

so, uh, folks, what we have here is one list, from one perspective. Create your own, or continue to snipe. Gary Hammond would need to be added to my list, after further reflection...and Clement "The Block" Fox, if for nothing more than THE BLOCK..

Hernandez didn't win the Hermann trophy, but Luchi Gonzalez did.
