Actually, all college teams had walkons back in the 1950's and earlier. They were often valuable members of those teams back then when small schools did not give out a lot of scholarships, and they needed players to fill out their rosters. In many cases, walkons became some of the best players on their teams, as the athleticism and physicial conditioning levels back then were not nearly like they are today.

Another old fan may have to help with this as it goes way back. I believe the name was Buford 'Booty' Heidenrich. I am unsure of the last name's spelling. This dates back to either the late 50's or the early 60's. I believe he was about 6'3" and may even have started some games.
Since this was over 50 year's ago, I might as well say I could be wrongWhat part of illegal don't you understand?
