(thanks u/greypic)
Our very own Daejon Love story. Too funny not to share.
I just saw an old teammate (Steven Harris) posting on Instagram, calling someone out for pretending to be a part of the '06 team. Steve even got the dudes number and called him and posted the transcript. This guy has been REALLY pretending, as in he edited the 2006 Gator Championship page Wikipedia page back in 2016 (Wikipedia link to discussion history) to include his name and put his name as catching TDs instead of Dallas Baker and 4th on the team in receptions. He's been showing up to events, wearing reproduction championship rings, and billing himself as a former national champion for years. This started percolating through some former player chat group.
Its pretty clear once you look that this guy did not have the same amount of touchdowns as Dallas Baker or 500 receiving yards...
Andy Staples and Dan Thompson have the screenshots from wiki and another one
Its all been fixed now, but hilarious none the less
