Andy Kozar

A True Gentleman Passes

Submitted by Gene Patterson on April 29, 2010 - 3:38pm

I was sorry to hear this morning of the passing of Andy Kozar.

I didn't know him well, but the times I was privileged to be in his presence will be fondly remembered.

I never saw him play, but as a UT alum I was very aware of his name and of his exploits on the field.  He helped Tennessee win a national title in 1951.

But Andy was more than just a football player.  He was also a teacher.

After his playing days, he earned a PH.D from Michigan in 1961 and returned to UT to head up its Phys Ed department.
