Versatility is the word that best summarizes the FSU athletic career of Bud Whitehead. He lettered in both football and basketball. On the gridiron Bud Whitehead was a brilliant two-way player. In
1959 he led the Seminoles in both pass receptions and pass interceptions. His 6 interceptions led the nation and his 31 receptions placed him on 8th nationally. Both these marks were FSU records as
were his 9 receptions, and 3 interceptions in a single game. In 1960 Whitehead was chosen FSU's most valuable football player. After his senior year, 1960, Whitehead played in the North-South All-Star
game. Following graduation the Marianna native starred with the San Diego Chargers, making a reputation as one of the hardest hitting defensive backs in the NFL. In 1969 and 1970 Whitehead returned to
his alma mater as an assistant offensive coach. College and pro athlete and coach, Bud Whitehead represents the best in Seminole athletics.
