Poole, although small (5-7) by college football standards, achieved in award-winning fashion for coach Homer Smith. Poole, who completed 380 of 669 passes (57 percent) for 4,442 yards and 32 career touchdowns, was named All-Southern Conference in 1966 and 1967. He shared Southern Conference player of the year honors in 1966 with Garrett Ford of West Virginia. He set school career records -- since broken -- for yards passing, passes completed, touchdown passes, completion percentage and total offense (4,463 yards). He also set single season records for completions, completion percentage, touchdown passes and total yards. Poole is now principal at North Mecklenburg High School.
