June 12, 1947 - Sandstone, Minnesota - Steve Kiner, an All-American linebacker from the University of Tennessee from 1967 to 1969, was born.
The National Football Foundation has a nice write-up bio on Kiner, stating that he was a consensus All-America in 1968 and a unanimous All-America in 1969 as a linebacker. The 1968 team, led by linebacker Kiner, set a school record by holding opponents to a remarkably low average of just 93 yards per game on the ground.
Kiner was named to Tennessee's all-time 100-year team. Steve Kiner was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999. Mr. Kiner went pro and played in the NFL for a total of nine seasons for the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, and the Houston Oilers.
