Two Clarksville Natives Named UT Legends
November 08, 2007 | Football
Harry Galbreath played offensive guard in Tennessee???s smash-mouth, run-heavy offense of the 1980s. The Clarksville native lettered four seasons under Johnny Majors from 1984-87. In that span, the Vols compiled a 33-12-4 record, won an SEC championship in 1985 and produced the first of two 10-win seasons under Majors in 1987.
Galbreath???s final campaign on Rocky Top was his best. He was elected a captain before the season and named All-SEC by the league???s coaches, the Associated Press and United Press International at season???s end. He earned All-America honors from The Sporting News.
That season, the Vols rushed for 2,652 yards en route to a 10-2-1 mark and a Peach Bowl victory over Indiana.
Galbreath played nine seasons in the NFL for the Miami Dolphins, Green Bay Packers and New York Jets. He returned to Tennessee this summer and is in his first season as an assistant strength and conditioning coach with the football program.??
Travis Stephens, also from Clarksville, played four seasons at Tennessee from 1997-2001, helping the Vols to two SEC titles and a BCS National Championship.?? Stephens rushed for 2,336 yards and 21 touchdowns in his career while adding 27 receptions for 200 yards and another score.
Like Galbreath, Stephens??? senior campaign was his best. The workhorse back carried 291 times for 1,464 yards and 10 scores in 2001, leading Tennessee to an 11-2 record, a trip to the SEC championship game and a Citrus Bowl romp over Michigan. He was named All-SEC and an All-American at season???s end.
He was selected in the fourth round of the 2002 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and spent two seasons in the NFL and one in NFL Europa.
Stephens is now back in his hometown, working in business development. His current project is a sports bar/entertainment complex in Clarksville.
