The top 100 FSU football players: No. 59 — quarterback, halfback, receiver, defensive back Lee Corso

Sunshine Scooter, Lightning Lee: the speedy, athletic player from Jackson High School in Miami came to be known as many names through his time at FSU, but in the end, none of them resonate the same way his actual name does in the world of college football.

Before he was a fixture on the show that helped define college football to generations of fans, Lee Corso was a freshman on the 1953 Florida State football team, lining up at quarterback to toss for a modest 142 yards and rush for 207 while also playing both sides of the ball, recording a pick six and blocked kick.
