He was the first of only two USC Trojans to EVER become a three-time All-American.

As a renowned recruit, he showed up to USC's first freshman meeting, stood up and said, "I'm Batman from Gotham City."

The name stuck.

"Batman" went 31-3-2 in his career at USC, including national championships in 1972 and 1974.
