Charles Greenhill #8
(1983)
Charles Greenhill was called the "most talented football player ever to come out of Memphis, TN". The multi-talented Greenhill, who prepped at Frayser High School in Memphis where he lettered for three years in football, basketball and track, played for the Tigers just one year (1983) before being killed in a plane crash with former head coach Rex Dockery and offensive coordinator Chris Faros.
Greenhill, a defensive back, had 20 tackles on the season, including 13 solo stops. Greenhill was also a dandy return man for the Tigers. The 6-2 speedster returned a kickoff 69 yards for a touchdown against Cincinnati and went on to average 29.8 yards per return.
Following his death, Firestone Stadium in Memphis was renamed Charles Greenhill Stadium. Firestone Stadium was the home field for Frayser High.
