He was...but he filled in for 1st team AA Mira Jr....Jay Brophy was a Thumper that people seem to forget...he was UMs only 1st team AA on our 1st NC team...
He's the Most Decorated LBer in not only UM History...but CFB History...I can name 2-3 LBers in UM History, that were every bit a Beast as Ray was at UM...
Best as a unit we ever had....in 91 and 92 the UM vs FSU games had the best 2 Trio of LBers that EVER appeared on a CFB field..
Barrow
Smith
Armstead
Brooks
Carruthers (boy was no joke)
Marvin (Shadetree)
As Great as Vilma was...Barrow was as good...if not better....the play against Penn St in 92..where he Destroyed the Penn St RB for a loss on a 4th and 1 is one of my favorite UM plays ever....Keith Jackson said he'd never seen anything like it...
