Lee Gadison, Jay class of '87

Lee Gadison, class of '87, was easily the strongest guy on the Mustang football team and the fastest guy on the line. He was the youngest of a long line of Gadisons, including Stanley, class of '84, who once returned an onside kick back for a touchdown from the front row. Lee received various football honors and was the district champion discus thrower on the district champion track team.

Lee played football for Eastern New Mexico on a football scholarship before transferring to UTEP. Somebody at UTEP noticed Lee's strength and speed and decided to move him from the offensive line to running back. As a UTEP fullback, Lee had his crowning run in front of 100,000 people at the Univ. of Tennessee. After getting the handoff, Lee ran right over a Tennessee linebacker, flattening him and then running on for a UTEP 1st down! Lee graduated from UTEP with a Criminal Justice degree and currently lives and works in San Antonio. Lee is happily married to Mary Logan, Jay class of '87. They have multiple children, including a son playing football like his daddy.
