Was searching the other day to see if my hometown school had any D1 recruits and happened to find this article about Calvin Jones a 2 way lineman. I knew of Calvin Jones (way before my time,not buck68 though) and that he went to Iowa but had no idea what he did to Woody. Apparently Jones was all but signed to TOSU but never showed or bothered to call Woody to let him know. 2 teammates drop by on their way to Iowa to say good bye and he decided he couldn’t play without his buddies, so he packed a bag and headed to Iowa. Said he felt treated with more respect in Iowa and stayed. He didn’t play till his sophomore year because freshman were ineligible to play on the varsity level at that time. That was changed for the 1972 season just in time for who?
He ended up in the CFL of all places. Before tragically dying in a small plane crash. Interesting story.
