My vote is Andy Loehr.
Senior year around 1954. He was telling me stories about the teams he was a part of. His junior or senior year he had his jaw broken in an early game. He had to have it rewired shut after every game for the rest of the season as it would rebreak about a play or two into each game. These were the pre-facemask days I believe. Andy says he lost about 25 pounds during the season and the trainer had to blender his food and feed him through a straw. Aside this, he would break his nose every couple games.
He has a lot of other stories from those days, but he like to retell the broken jaw one when I see him.
