1978 Profile: Darrell Austin

Guard
No. 67
South Carolina
"Darrell fits the traditional coaches' description of 'hard-nosed.' He is a strong, straight-ahead blocker. He's good on running blocks and he's developing into an outstanding pass protector.
Darrell started 11 games for the Jets in 1976, seven at right guard and four at center.
He started every game for three years at South Carolina. Darrell played offensive tackle as a sophomore, defensive tackle as a junior and offensive tackle during his senior season.
Darrell's father is a deputy sheriff."
