Pat Tillman was killed in the line of duty in April of 2004 in Afghanistan. The 1997 Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year and a three-time all- league honoree, Tillman played linebacker at ASU from 1994-97. After a successful fi ve-year NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals, Tillman and his brother, Kevin, a former ASU baseball player, enlisted in the U.S. Army and became members of the elite U.S. Rangers unit. An Academic All-American and three-time Pac-10 All-Academic selection, Tillman graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business with a B.S. in marketing on Dec. 19, 1997. Tillman’s No. 42 jersey was retired at halftime of the Washington State game last season and Pat Tillman Sr. visited the locker room after the game. The Sun Devil team will continue to wear a patch with Tillman’s number on the front of their jerseys this season. The Pac-10 Conference has also honored Tillman by renaming its Defensive Player of the Year Award after him. In cooperation with the family of Pat Tillman, Arizona State and the Arizona Cardinals have established the Pat Tillman Memorial Scholarship, which will provide support for ASU students in the W.P. Carey School of Business marketing program and Sun Devil Athletics. For more information on the scholarship, please contact Lynda Lumpkin at (480) 965-2475. Donations can be sent via mail to the ASU Foundation, Attn: Lynda Lumpkin, P.O. Box 873208, Tempe, AZ 85287- 3208. Tillman’s family has also established a foundation in his memory, which can be reached at pattillmanfoundation.net. 8 ARIZONA STATE FOOTBALL 2005 RRepresentativesepresentatives fromfrom thethe NFL,NFL, iincludingncluding coaches,coaches, generalgeneral mmanagers,anagers, assistantassistant coachescoaches andand sscouts,couts, traveltravel toto TTempeempe eacheach yearyear ttoo seesee thethe SunSun DevilsDevils performperform onon PProro TimingTiming Day.Day.

    Former Hokie Michael Vick, the first player picked in the 2001 NFL Draft, is scheduled to take over the starting quarterback duties for the Atlanta Falcons in 2002. Special Teams are an integral part of Hokie football and one of the units is called “Pride and Joy.” These NFL players are also a source of pride and joy due to their commitment to Virginia Tech on and off the field. Virginia Tech has recently constructed a display in the Hall of Legends in the Merryman Athletic Center to honor such former players. John Engelberger was a dominating defensive end who went from walk-on to four-year starter at Tech, to second-round NFL Draft pick, earning All-America honors and his college degree along the way. Waddy Harvey was a standout who started three seasons at defensive tackle and won the coveted Williams Award for leadership and character before joining the Buffalo Bills. Frank and Cheryl Beamer sponsored Harvey for recognition on the Pride and Joy display. Before starting an NFL career, Jim Pyne, a powerful center in the early 1990s, started 41 games and allowed just one sack in over 2,700 snaps on his way to becoming the Hokies’ first unanimous All-American. Michael Vick was an electrifying quarterback who made a lasting impact on college football while helping Virginia Tech to a national championship game and back-to-back 11-1 seasons before becoming the top NFL pick in 2001. Jim Pyne was the first player chosen overall in the NFL’s 1998 expansion draft.

    Confessions of an Agent This Man Says He Paid Thousands of Dollars to Dozens of College Football Players

    This man says he paid thousands of - 10.18.10 - SI Vault Page 1 of 10 Powered by October 18, 2010 Confessions Of An Agent This man says he paid thousands of dollars to dozens of college football players. Whatever they needed—a concert ticket, a free trip, a meal—he gave them, all in violation of NCAA rules. Now he says he wants to come clean about his two decades inside the dirtiest business in sports Josh Luchs, As told to George Dohrmann This story includes the names of 30 former college football players who are alleged to have taken money or some other extra benefit in violation of NCAA rules. The primary source of these allegations is Josh Luchs, who has been a certified NFL agent for 20 years. SI senior writer George Dohrmann met Luchs [pronounced LUX] in July while working on a story about the agent business. Luchs represented more than 60 players during his career, which placed him in the middle class of the industry. He was viewed by other agents as a particularly dogged recruiter and noted for his partnerships with more seasoned player representatives. When Dohrmann learned that Luchs was leaving the profession, he proposed a first-person account of life as an agent. Luchs was initially reluctant but ultimately decided to tell his story. At no point was he promised or given any form of compensation for his participation. In more than 20 hours of interviews Luchs described the payments he says he made to players as well as other events in his career.
