Ray Guy made a name for himself at Southern Miss, not just for kicking and punting, but for playing defense as well. He was an All-America safety who intercepted 18 passes in three seasons, including eight his senior campaign. Saggus said Guy could’ve played another position as well. “He probably could’ve been our starting quarterback if anyone could’ve caught his passes,” he said. “He could bring the heat.” And he did. In 31 starts as a flame-throwing, right-hander for the baseball team, Guy posted 14 complete games. He also struck out 266 batters in 220 2/3 innings. In the spring of 1972, Guy tossed a no-hitter on a Saturday morning against William Carey University. Afterward, he headed to football practice and never told anyone of his accomplishment. #GOAT
