I was just looking at the western carolina university web site.Brad robbins is on both the football and baseball teams.that is very impressive for a division 1AA school.I bet very few athletes can pull that off.Good Luck Brad.

Best of luck to him in both football and baseball.

Yep, all of what 4, 5 months.

You are correct airstrike, it is a great accomplishment for Brad. There are a few players that play multiple sports in D1, but not many.

Only a couple come to mind right off, that's Todd Helton and Julius Peppers.

didnt North Carolina have another player to do it also, i think he was the quarterback and then the point guard in basketball

Tony Gonzolez, Nomar Garciaparria, Ron Curry, jim thorp, dave winfield.

I thought that was very bold when Robbins compared himself to Todd Helton in the coalfield when he was interviewed.

Miami's whole football team runs track. You guys said 2 sports in D1 [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Seriously though, theres quite a bit. Martellus Bennett at TAMU is an nfl tight end in the making and a good basketball player that entered the nba draft but withdrew his name.

Jackie Robinson is probably the best 2 sport college athlete ever, he was a star on ucla's football team.
