Marion Motley: A Football Legend

Well, no. Though many feel Jim Brown is the premier back to ever grace a football field, his namesake offered a different opinion.

The same Marion Motley who ran roughshod over the competition for the

Motley died in 1999 at the age of 79. But his alma mater will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of his induction into the Hall of Fame throughout the football season. His image will be placed on the Mackay Stadium scoreboard during the Nov. 22 game against

The entire article on Motley can be seen in the October issue of Wolf Pack Edge.
