  • Sivert Has Distinction of Oldest Vol Letterman
    UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE FOOTBALL Sivert has distinction of oldest Vol letterman Jim Sivert is more than a Vol for Life. He’s a Vol for a Long Life. The 94-year-old native of Gate City, Virginia, was recently informed he’s the oldest living Tennessee football letterman. Now living in the Memphis suburb of Bartlett, he’s 10 months older than former teammate Jim Miner. A versatile player at 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds, Sivert played blocking back, center and linebacker for the General Robert Neyland-coached Vols. He was even listed as quarterback on the team’s archives. The 1949 Tennessee Football Brochure had the following description of him: This veteran of all positions was shifted to blocking back in the spring and he fits in it as he would a “custom-made suit”…..He is a great defensive man, but his play of late indicates that he was made for a blocker…when he hits something gives. VIRGINIA PREP STAR Sivert played football as a running back at Shoemaker High School from 1940-42 before World War II changed his course. A 1942 Shoemaker program for their Oct. 16 game against Tazewell pointed out that he led the team in scoring to date with 34 points. The next highest player was Tommy Campbell with 20 points. “They cut out football at Shoemaker in 1943 because of World War II with the gas rations and tires,” Sivert said. “I got a scholarship to Fork Union Military Academy and was up there for the football season before I got drafted and had to go into service.” His senior year, Sivert scored four touchdowns to lead Fork Union to a 31-7 win over Staunton Military Academy in the state championship game.
