Joe Greene: All American

Three years of being a winner have given Joe Greene the biggest victory of all. The 6-4, 267 pound defensive tackle, after playing on a team that posted a three year total of 23 victories against only five defeats, has become the first All-American in the history of North Texas State University. Anf he did it in the right fashion. Greene was named to the All-American teams selected by the Associated Press, United Press International, Newspapers Enterprises Association and Sporting News. He was also selected to Playboy's pre-season All-American team. All of those selections earned him the title of "Consensus All-American" and this honor will be noted in the NCAA College football records. He was also the only unanimous choice for All-Missouri Valley Conference honors, his third year as an MVC pick.
