You are correct. I guess I get his name (certainly not him) mixed up with Johnell Brown a rb near the end of the 70s for Dickey. I think he came from GHS.We've had this conversation before Coach. More than once. It's John L. Williams, NOT Johnell Williams.
Also, Williams played fullback while Anderson split time with Lorenzo Hampton at tailback. Both Anderson and Hampton were first round picks and were considered comparable players (both 27th overall picks, one in 85 the other in 86). Hampton was a bust in the NFL and gets no love.
Alex.
He was probably the greatest athlete ever to play football for UF. He had Deon speed, Great hands instincts and toughness. I heard he was all state in basketball in HS too.Doug Dickey was desperate one year and georgia was the next game, he put his best athlete at running back, Wes Chandler. He had a great game and we beat the pups, what an athlete, he could do anything.
Wes on offense, Youngblood on defenseHe was probably the greatest athlete ever to play football for UF. He had Deon speed, Great hands instincts and toughness. I heard he was all state in basketball in HS too.
I ALWAYS wondered what the hype was about him. He never got to prove it on the field. Im glad he got his life together finally. He was like Ron Enclade. He was gonna be the great TE when I was in college. He never got close. I know he never came to a class he was on the roll I was in.. Dumb ass was going to be a solid two-sport player. Ironically he is now a preacher and high school basketball coach. Still has a flair with the ladies I'm told.
Fred. Period. See below. James Jones #2, for his catch against scUM in 1982 alone, which I can't find a video of....
I was at both that game as well as the USC game (Wilbur Marshall OWNING AND DESTROYING Sean Salisbury).I don't think there is any video of the James Jones catch because the game wasn't televised. You had to be there. But that might have been the first benchmark for loud in the stadium.
