      In high school when we played him my senior season in basketball(his junior season) he stole a pass, and I knew he had a break away and noone really made the hustle to catch him...I was expecting a lay-up, and he was all of 6'1"....he went up and did a Dominque tomahawk windmill poke dunk ...... and all I thought was, I hope he goes to UT to play...dam!!

    Been watching the Vols since 1985 and Al is my favorite of all time. No way we win the Natty without him. You could argue he was on track to be an NFL Hall of Famer before that damn neck injury. Thanks for the video.

    What a great tribute to the finest VFL! In 1994 I was a freshman playing football at Jackson Central Merry High School, Al’s senior season. His love for football, his tenacity on the field, his joy in demolishing the competition, and his leadership on and off the field was an incredible thing to witness and be a part of. Every time we walked out on a field everyone knew this cat was different! My family attended several games over his career at UT and he always had time to say hello to us and other fans afterward as he left the stadium. In 2021 I took my kids to their first UT game in Knoxville (the Vols destroyed South Carolina!) to see Al honored for his CFB Hall of Fame induction. I even wore my old JCM football jersey to the game to honor where he came from. Got to see him at the Vol Walk and during pregame. I love the photos of my kids with the greatest Tennessee Volunteer of all time! Thank you Al, and Go Cougars!

    He went to school at JCM.. I’ll never forget Wilson and at that time Kelsey Williams from HUMBOLDT stayed in the Jackson Sun news paper every week for top RBs. I was a freshman at Humboldt and after every game 5th quarter highlights Wilson and Williams offensive show.. we knew he was a bad man…. I didn’t run track but rumor has it he could outrun everyone…I know bc we had two RBs Williams who was built like Wilson, he ran a 4.4… Maurice Jelks ran a 4.3… they had the pleasure of running against Wilson and the rest is history… TN has had a lot of good LBs but Wilson is special. He meant business

    I was at the 1997 Vandy game. It was a tough defensive struggle. Late in the second half, Wilson got hurt during a critical Vandy drive. As he was being helped off the field, he stopped and turned back towards his teammates, yelling and barking something at them. The crowd went absolutely nuts. The Vols won the game thanks in part to his leadership.

    Had a sandwich at subway on the strip 2 weeks after the natty with him. He had a tostios bombers leather natty jacket on. He was such a nice guy. He was driving a brand new cadilac esculade suv. He looked like a silver back gorilla. I am 6ft tall and i looked him right in the eye but he was massive with a gental heart but i am sure that changed inthe grid iron. Greatest d player with reggie white ,eric berry and derek barnett . Those are the best but al had more passion for tlhis team and the big orange then all those players combined.

He is a great guy also. He saved our natty in razorback game with the most famous play in vols history called the stumble and fumble . Only game I cried in to this day I was so happy. Was leaving the stadium and heard neyland roar we ran back in to watch 13 hand offs to the chz Travis Henry run it down their throats for the win and go 10 and 0 and headed for the natty. What a game and a great guy. He sales painting of that play on his Facebook if you want one. Just ask for the stumble and fumbel and the size painting you want. It's awesome.
