Wide Receiver
No. 95
Carson-Newman
"Tim signed as a free agent after playing for the Charlotte Hornets of the WFL in 1975. Originally signed by Cincinnati in the third round in 1973, he was sold to Detroit in 1974. He signed as a free agent with Cleveland (1974) after being released by the Lions.
His career NFL stats include two catches for 28 yards in 1973 with no statistics for '74. Tim caught 11 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns in 1975, and in his first WFL appearance caught six passes for 121 yards. Scouts are impressed by his size and speed; though only an average blocker, he may be tried at tight end.
An NAIA All-America in 1972 and 1973, Tim led the nation in pass receiving: he caught 65 passes for 1,244 yards and nine touchdowns. He started at Carson-Newman when the Eagles (9-2-1) lost the NAIA title game to East Texas State, 21-18, in 1973.
Tim holds a B.S. in physical education from Carson-Newman and a Master's degree in education from Georgia, and his career goals include coaching. His hometown is Alcoa, Tennessee."
