The first Tiger all American in football was Gaynell "Gus" Tinsley, who played at LSU in the 1920s.

Gus played in late '30's. Later, he was HC.

Gaynell "Gus" Tinsley,


I remember seeing him at Ben Peabody's Esso on Plank Road when I was a kid. His daughter was my math teacher at Kenilworth Junior High in '75.
