The 60s were another easy group to sort through. Similar to the ’70s list, not many players wore these numbers. The only difference between the two lists is that the 60s are missing a number. Let’s dive into numbers 69-60 and see who wore them best!
#69 – Blake Savage
Defensive Tackle Blake Savage played his entire three-season career at Miami. Savage had a knack for causing turnovers; he has the fourth-most forced fumbles in Miami’s history. Blake finished his twenty-seven-game career with 83 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 19 sacks, 2 pass deflections, 4 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 touchdown.
#68 – Kyle Payne
Payne spent four seasons at Missouri, playing the defensive end position. Kyle is one of the best defensive linemen to ever play at Missouri. He has the most tackles for loss, the most sacks, tied for most fumble recoveries, and has the fifth most tackles in the program’s history.
