Thomas Everett
Thomas Gregory Everett (born November 21, 1964) is an American former professional football player who was a safety in the National Football League (NFL) for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played college football for the Baylor Bears, winning the Jim Thorpe Award. He won two Super Bowls with the Cowboys.
Everett was born in Daingerfield, Texas. He attended Daingerfield High School, where he started playing football as a sophomore. Although his best position was running back, he played seven positions including quarterback.
As a senior, he received All-district honors in football and basketball. He later became the first, and so far only person to have his number retired at Daingerfield High School.
Everett accepted a football scholarship from Baylor University, where he played under College Football Hall of Fame coach Grant Teaff. As a freshman, he began the year at running back and was named the starter at cornerback halfway through the season.
As a sophomore, he began the season at corner, but was moved to free safety in the second game, where he blossomed and collected 99 tackles.
As a junior, he became one of the best defensive backs in the nation, eventually being named a two-time All-American selection, a two-time Southwest Conference Defensive Player of the year and twice first team All-Conference. As a senior, he registered 86 tackles (7 for loss), 14 passes defensed and 6 interceptions.
As a senior in 1986, Everett became the first-ever winner of the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back. He was also voted the conference's Athlete of the Year.
Everett was a leader during one of the school's most successful eras as the Bears won 30 games and appeared in three bowl games. He left as the fourth all-time tackler (325) in school history. He also ranked among Baylor's top 10 in interceptions (12), punt returns (80) and punt return yards (766).
