Anybody know where Gralyn Wyatt is these days?

 

Highlights UT v Baylor 1972.

Skip ahead to around 1:45 for some hard-nosed power running by Roosevelt Leaks. It's great when a team has a reliable power back who WILL SCORE when he gets the ball from inside the 3. He wore #46 that year and was lined up in the fullback position in the bone.



stats from the above game:
(Leaks 162 yards, 2 TD)

Texas vs Baylor (Nov 11, 1972)

 

I was there with my Dad

 

#46 is in the on deck circle for posting on the 100 day countdown on Tuesday....
