Fullback
Free Agent
California
"Signed as a free agent, Newton gained 1,108 yards on 253 carries (4.7 average) and 10 touchdowns in two years as a fullback and a tailback at California. He played in the same backfield as Chuck Muncie in 1975 and rushed for 544 yards. He led the North in rushing in the North-South Game.
Tom had a brilliant junior college career at San Jose City College where he gained 982 yards and scored 15 touchdowns as a sophomore, including 287 yards in one game. A physical education major, scouts label him as 'tough and durable with good hands but lacks speed and elusiveness.'
A three-sport star at Overfelt High in his hometown of San Jose, Tom's birthplace is Carmel, California."
