SARASOTA, Fla.- He was not a household name. In fact, even hardcore Florida Gators football fans probably don't remember him today. But those who watched Tony Waters play at Sarasota High School say the 1976 graduate was unforgettable.
"He was, at that time, the best. He was the best...more in the area, no question about it," said longtime Sarasota High Football coach Charlie Cleland, who spent 37 years at the school. Cleland still remembers how proud he was the day his star player got a full ride to the University of Florida.
"I'm excited for him every step of the way, because he's such a deserving young man."
But in 1978, the final game of his sophomore year, Waters suffered a devastating injury to his knee.
"He played in the Miami game and he was probably our star in that game," said longtime Gators Booster Club member and local attorney Art Ginsburg. "He got hurt in the end and it really destroyed him."

Nelson Agholor took the microphone and had the national stage on ESPN and in coaches offices at Florida, Florida State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Southern Cal.
In this crazy era of recruiting and Twitter, Agholor kept quiet his college choice. Then he pulled a USC hat from below the...more table and announced his intention to play for the Trojans.
"I always loved Southern Cal," Agholor said. "and I decided I wanted my dream to come true and be a Trojan."
Agholor was not alone at Berkeley Prep. Linebacker Schyler Miles signed with Kansas and defensive end Reggie Barnes accepted a scholarship to the Air Force Academy.
