"Wild" Bill Elko

This is the worst suggestion in the whole thread. I don't remember Bill Elko hitting anyone hard.

Can you read? I didnt "make a list" at all. I asked a question and let people make their own suggestions. I then decided to add some of the suggested names to my original post. Quit trying to find controversy where there is none.


Somehow I sense you wouldn't make this list.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to list Michael Brooks.

Geez. The OP must be young. Michael Brooks is not on that list? He tried to eat people.

When Chad Jones hit the guy from Arkansas I thought he was dead. In all seriousness I really didn’t think that the poor guy was going to be able to walk off the field.

I would put Michael Clayton #2. Hell-on-wheels on special teams. (Trying to find that video of him blowing up the punt returner vs Auburn)

Not mentioned is Art Cantrelle, c.1970. Maniacal on special teams. If being a certified all-around bad-arse counts, then he qualifies. He would be #3. He was legitimately unbalanced in the head. Art Cantrelle

Cantrelle was not a big man, maybe six-feet and 200 pounds. But his fists were legendary in watering holes that populated the vicinity of the LSU campus in the early ’70s. One teammate said of Cantrelle, who had been a prep boxing champ, “He would knock out a man with the first punch and pop the guy two more times before he hit the floor.

Cantrell once allegedly took care of business in a hail of fisticuffs at an establishment known as The Keg. By the time I arrived as a freshman at LSU in 1977, that fracas rivaled the Rusty Domingue stabbing story as the most prominent LSU fights since Crowe Peele left the boxing ring at the Ole War Skule as the NCAA heavyweight boxing king of 1955.

A former patron of the Keg said that Art lifted a pinball machine and hurled it at four deputies who were approaching him with batons and wearing head gear. And somehow the account never received the publicity of Jeremy Hill’s sucker punch against a fellow LSU student at closing time in Tigerland a few months ago.

At LSU, the football team once had a ritual of shaving a groom’s pubic hair on the eve of his wedding. When they confronted Cantrelle, he was waiting for them, dead-eyed and icy-toned. He reportedly said: “I know what you guys are here for and I’m gonna let you do it. But before you do, I want you all to know that I see the face of everybody in this room, and I guarantee you that I will get every one of you, one at a time. Cantrelle was married the next day with all hair intact.

Definitely in my top 10. He used to hit people so hard that both of them would get concussions

Another big time defensive stud at LSU was Al Richardson. As I recall he was the LSU all time leader in tackles per season for quite a while. Brady James may have been the one to break his record.
