Former UT RB from Corpus, homeless at 66, spotted by high school friends on front page of AAS

I did a search for Coy Featherston before posting this story and nothing came up so here it is...

9/11 version of AAS had a picture of an old man pushing a cart along Guadalupe, accompanying an article about homeless encampments. He's unrecognizable but it gives his name.

An Austin woman recognized the name, Coy Featherston, as a boy she went to high school with in Corpus. She contacted some old hs friends to ask if they thought it was their old classmate.

She went looking for him around Guadalupe and it took her 3 separate trips but she finally found him outside St. Austin parish near the University. Featherston's old high school friends have banded together, provided him a place to live, and are helping him obtain the i.d. he needs to obtain Social Security. He was born in the Philippines while his dad was stationed there, his birth certificate was lost long ago, and obtaining a copy isn't easy. Played football for Corpus high. And apparently had a scholarship as a RB for UT under Darrell Royal.

No, let’s not humanize them.

Therein lies the rub.  

Probably a different Coy Featherston.

Does he have any eligibility left? Living on the streets for decades is some junction level training.

Hell he's doing weighted sled pushes in the picture

I guess we could we check Fitlumps twitter for updates
