Leonard LittleDefensive End/Linebacker (1995-97)
Splitting time at middle linebacker and defensive end, Leonard Little earned a reputation for his hard hits and quarterback sacks.
The only player to earn first team All-American honors while wearing number one for the Vols, Little did so during his senior year in 1997. The Asheville, N.C., native was also named the Associated Press' SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year after recording a team-leading 87 tackles and collecting 8.5 quarterback sacks while leading the Big Orange to the 1997 SEC championship.
Little finished his career ranked second to Reggie White on UT's all-time sack list with 28, which included 11 his sophomore year. Little had 10 multi-sack games in his three-year career and currently ranks third on the career list for quarterback pressures with 42.
