He made several key plays and goal-line stands on defense during LSU's championship season in 1958, and blocked for All-SEC backs Billy Cannon, Johnny Robinson, and Warren Rabb on offense. He was named an All-American in 1958 by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), and an All-SEC selection by United Press International (UPI).
