Watching PTI today on ESPN, they mentioned that today is Terrell Davis' 36th birthday. As you may know, the former NFL MVP and Super Bowl champion began his college football career here at Long Beach State. Davis was recruited by George Allen in 1990 out of Lincoln Prep in San Diego. He redshirted his first year, before finally playing for Willie Brown on the 1991 squad...the last football season at The Beach. Davis only was able to play five games (I believe) and rushed for just 262 yards on 55 carries as a 49er, but it was clear he could be a difference-making player when he got the opportunity. His long TD reception at UNLV led to one of the teams two victories that final season. After our program folded, Davis was able to transfer to Georgia and play immediately in 1992. Three years later, he was taken in the sixth round of the 1995 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos, and the rest is history. Happy Birthday, Terrell!

P.S.: Found and interesting article in the archives of The District on the demise of 49er Football, and why it's likely gone for good. It also talks a bit about Terrell Davis' short 49er career.
