Born on May 11, 1923, Clyde Fuson is remembered as one of the Vols who gave it all when his country needed it most. A native of Middlesboro, Kentucky, Fuson was a fullback on the 1942 Tennessee team before joining the war effort. He and fellow Vols Rudy Klarer, Wills Tucker, and Bill Nowling lost their lives during WWII. Each of their numbers, including Fuson's 62, were retired in 2006.
