FAYETTEVILLE — Loyd Phillips, the first two-time All-America football player at the University of Arkansas and 1966 Outland Trophy winner as the nation’s top college interior lineman, died Sunday in hospice care from complications after suffering a stroke. He was 75.
The UA athletic department confirmed Phillips’ death in a news release.
Phillips, who played defensive tackle, was a three-year All-Southwest Conference pick from 1964-66 and starred on Arkansas teams that were a combined 29-3 — including three victories over Texas.
"He didn't have any technique that I know of, except no blocker could handle him," Frank Broyles, who was Phillips’ coach at Arkansas, said in a 1994 interview.
