Bobby Majors could
do everything in a football uniform.
The youngest
of UT's "First Familty of Football," Majors returned punts all three
years of his varsity career, holding the school
records
for career punt returns with 117 and career
punt return
yardage with 1,163.
He also returned
kickoffs, averaging 30.1-yards per return in 1971-- third highest
in UT history. Majors
completed his special teams threat by punting for the Vols in 1970
and 1971, compiling a career average of 37.3.
But the defensive
backfield was where Majors flourished. His set the single-season school
record with 10 interceptions in 1970, the same year the Vols led the
NCAA with 36 picks.
He ranks sixth on the career pass interceptions list with 13.
