Well, not as an inductee. He has a job as a fan ambassador at the College Football Hall of Fame. I visited the Hall of Fame when it was in South Bend, Indiana, but it has since moved to Atlanta and that is where LeCount works.
Some of you will remember that LeCount was the quarterback on the 1977 Gators. They ran Doug Dickey's modified wishbone, the Gatorbone, with wide receiver Wes Chandler. The backfield made up of LeCount, Willie Wilder, Earl Carr, and Terry Green was the fastest backfield in the nation. That team also set a record (does it still stand?) of having ten NFL draftees. LeCount played was drafted and played in the NFL as a wide receiver.
LeCount fell on some hard times with addiction problems. But he got his life together. He moved to Atlanta from the West Coast and worked on the playgrounds with elementary school children in the Decatur, Georgia school system. His wife saw an ad for a position at the new College Football Hall of Fame and thought he would be perfect for the job. Terry contacted his old coach, Doug Dickey, who is a member of the Hall. Dickey helped him land the job.
I am sort of jealous of LeCount's job. He gets paid to greet fans coming to visit the Hall of Fame. With his personality and knowledge of the game he is a natural. Good going Terry LeCount.
