::::*Pretty solid: the online alumni directory of the University of Florida Alumni Association, as well as the TCPalm.com article I just added.  In 1942, he would not have been eligible for OCS without a degree; the Army lightened up later in the war when there was a shortage of second lieutenants, and they started accepting more prior enlisted guys with no degree.  FYI, he did not letter for the baseball team; he might literally have been "filling in" for an injured player for a few games, as suggested by the yearbook.  The anecdotes about Fergie as a great natural athlete are almost unbelievable  he was the kinda guy who could pick up a lacrosse stick without ever having played before, and be instantly competitive.  Completely consistent with his D-Day actions; you can't find the gruesome detail in any of the contemporary newspaper stories  but he took a headshot while leading the frontal assault, and then tried to keep leading his platoon.  He was in a coma for two months afterward.  Mind you, this is the same wound that killed the guy 10 years later.  Unbelievable.  The guy did more with his life in 25 years than I have in 49.  BTW, there was a stand-alone article for Fergie previously (prior to me joining Wikipedia in 2009), but it was converted into the award article because the people working on it thought there were insufficient independent reliable sources to demonstrate his notability as an individual.  Thank you for pulling the trigger on this.   

 ::::: Regarding Youngblood, I would not rule it out, but it strikes me as odd that I've never seen it referenced before.  I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that Hall of Fame Jack was a first-generation college grad.  Jack was barely recruited by Florida  and no one else  and it was only because of the persistence of the baseball coach, Dave Fuller, that Jack was even offered a scholarship.
