explanation: it is not known if he participated in
the 1987 and 1988 bowl games; he was a rarely used
sub; he did not blossom as an impact player until
he was a junior and senior. He was invited to
participate in the 1991 Senior Bowl, restricted
to draft-elite players
note: there may be other deaf players in NCAA-I
football that played in bowl games, but the
above four players are the only known ones.
