He redshirted because of a knee injury and had a knee operation. After Oregon, he attended the College of San Mateo and then Grays Harbor College, where he played football in the fall of 1956. After that, he transferred to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, where he played both offense and defense for the Mustangs in 1957 and 1958. While he was there, he earned a BS in Education in 1959 and an MA in Education in 1961.</p> <h3 id="2KiNhi">Raiders news</h3> <ul> <li id="oKWdY2">These were <a href="https://justblogbaby.com/2021/06/11/raiders-3-best-moves-made-2021-offseason/">the three best moves</a> the Raiders made this offseason </li> <li id="CdDtGY">3 key players are <a href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/raiders/raiders-mailbag-3-key-players-expected-back-for-minicamp-2376304/">expected to return for minicamp </a> </li> <li id="1DpPdh">Who is on the <a href="https://raiderswire.usatoday.com/2021/06/11/who-is-on-the-hot-seat-for-the-raiders-this-season/">hot seat for</a> the Raiders this season? </li> <li id="cidAXA">Johnathan Abrams <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/news/las-vegas-raiders-johnathan-abram-tyrann-mathieu-kam-chancellor-sean-taylor-team-whistle-nfl">shows his personal side </a> </li> <li id="YsbOFG">Golden Knights and Raiders<a href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/goldenknights/golden-knights-raiders-to-face-off-in-charity-softball-event-2376315/"> square off in charity event </a> </li> <li id="A1hHwp"> <a href="https://www.raiders.com/video/watch-playmakers-making-plays-best-from-raiders-2021-otas">Best plays </a>from Raiders’ OTA’s </li> </ul></div>
