A baseball prospect, he was offered a $5,000 bonus to sign with the Brooklyn Dodgers as a shortstop.〔 However, he chose college, playing football at Florida State University (FSU), where he was a roommate of football player and actor Burt Reynolds and future University of Miami baseball coach Ron Fraser. While at FSU, Corso earned the nickname "Sunshine Scooter" for his speed on the football field.〔(Alumni Hall of Fame: Lee Corso ), Boys & Girls Clubs of America, accessed May 17, 2013.〕 As a defensive player, he set the school record for most career interceptions (14), a record that stood for more than two decades until it was broken by Monk Bonasorte. He was also a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. Corso was the starting quarterback for the South in the 1956 Blue-Gray Game, though his squad lost to the Len Dawson-led North team, 14–0. Corso also was a baseball player for FSU. Corso graduated from Florida State with a bachelor's degree in physical education in 1957 and a master's degree in administration and supervision in 1958. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lee Corso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
