The late Wyatt "Red" Parish starred as a running back on the first three Florida State football teams, 1947-48-49. He started the Seminoles' first game and made the school's first run from scrimmage.
Called a "great competitor" by his coach, Don Veller, the versatile Parish made his mark rushing, passing, and receiving. By the time he had completed his career, Parish held the FSU career scoring
mark of 96 points and the record for most TDs in one season, 9 in '49 - the latter not broken until 1958. For many years after graduation, the west Floridian remained a strong supporter of Seminole
athletics. "Red" Parish was one reason Florida State got off the ground running into college gridiron prominence.
