Wayne Hamilton (#94 Leesburg High School, Okahumpka Florida) was a part of the Famous Goal Line Stand in the 1979 Sugar Bowl #2 Alabama vs. #1 Penn State.
The famous Goal Line Stand. The Nittany Lions had one final play to break the standoff. On fourth-and-inches, Joe Paterno called upon tailback Matt Guman to plod up the gut into the heart of the Crimson Tide's defense. But All-America linebacker Barry Krause emerged from the trenches to stunt Guman's progress, making a stop that has gone down as one of the biggest tackles in college football history.
