1974 Profile: John Little

Defensive Tackle
No. 57
Oklahoma State
"The regular defensive left tackle last year, starting all but one game, Little had five quarterback sacks, second only to Mark Lomas among the front four. He has fought off a weight problem to become a starter and now is able to maintain his weight around the 240-250 mark for the season. He gets a good pass rush, but still needs polishing on the running game.
John led the team in dumps in 1971 and has played left end and left tackle during his career. He shared the Heede Award with Lomas in 1971 as the most improved and dedicated defensive player. Drafted 14th in 1970, he has good strength and quickness.
Little majored in education and was a halfback and offensive end in high school. Nicknamed 'Big Devil' by the coaching staff, he enjoys hunting and fishing. His hometown is Hot Springs, Arkansas."
