MONROE, La. – ULM L Club Hall of Famer Jeff Blackshear, one of the great offensive linemen in program history, died Saturday, Aug. 31 after a lengthy illness. Blackshear was 50.
"He was an awesome player, an unbelievable specimen" said Tag Rome, an assistant coach when Blackshear played at ULM. "He was 6-7, 360. But you saw what a gentle giant he was as he grew up as a man. He was a real tender-hearted guy. Everybody liked him a lot."
Blackshear returned to the ULM campus on Sept.
