Bobb Foxx manned the backfield during Robert R. Neyland's second stint as coach of the Vols and earned All-America status his senior year of 1940.

Foxx earned three letters at Tennessee and was part of three consecutive SEC championship teams from 1938-40. The Vols were crowned national champion in 1938 and 1940.

Throughout Foxx's three-year career, he led the rushing attack that allowed the Vols to go unbeaten and untied in each regular season.

Foxx was voted Knoxville's greatest athlete of the first half-century by the Knoxville Journal readers.
