Asked this question on Twitter. So far nobody knows the answer. Who was the first African American football player to play for SLI/USL/UL? To be transparent, I don't know the answer but would love to know. @VermilionNWhite

Boomer may know, that happened during or just after his playing days...

[BeauCajun]

Was it Louis Age Sr? Boomer may know.

[fanof71]

Maybe Leslie Vogel...

[Swamphound]

Boomer? Turbine? Any idea?

Leroy Booker

Leroy Booker

What year?

[Boomer]

What year?

........I could be WAY off.....but Godfery White.....anybody know that name? Leroy Booker was early but don't think the first.....think he was Pratts roommate!

I would think this player or players would be as important to our football history as Leslie Scott, Elvin Ivory and Marvin Winkler are to the basketball history as well as Coach Shipley of course.
