Show Notes

This episode’s special guest is Greg Thomas, who made history when he was the first starting African-American quarterback in high school in San Angelo, Texas, and he became the first African-American starting quarterback in University of Arkansas history. He was 28-8 as a starter, played in four bowl games, and was named MVP of the 1987 Liberty Bowl.

For the Pro Football History Nugget of the Week, we will actually talk college football, specifically Martin Lemond, who was the first African-American quarterback to play at the University of Arkansas.
