Here's two brother combos for the ages. #4 Nathan and #75 John Poole. #86 Travis and #24 Theomone Brooks.
"Lightning in a bottle" was what we called John Dickerson (1995-97). Injuries plagued him throughout this career, otherwise he would've gone down as one of the all-time greats.
John Poole (1991-1994) was simply the best high school offensive lineman I've ever seen. No one else is even close. He earned first-team all-state honors in 1994, despite injuries to BOTH his ankles.
Rafael Garcia (1990-92) walked off a plane from Barcelona, Spain and went straight to the Eagles' practice field. He had never even seen a football before, but established himself as the Eagles best-ever Placekicker. He and Herman Moore share the Eagle record for longest field goal (48). He hit 9 field goals in 1992. Garcia went on to a stellar career at Virginia.
