Linebacker
No. 58
LSU
"The Stars' 25th round draft choice, Champagne started all three years for the Fighting Tigers. He helped LSU beat Colorado in the 1973 opener by returning an interception 26 yards for a touchdown. He made 37 unassisted tackles last year, helped on another 31, and dropped opposing runners six times for 21 yards in losses. Gary played in the Sun, Bluebonnet and Orange Bowls. Playing against Notre Dame is his biggest thrill.
A business major, Gary comes from a football family. His father was drafted by Chicago and the old Dallas Texans but elected not to play, and his brother is a starting guard at TCU. Gary was All-District as a linebacker and fullback at Nederland (Texas) High School, and also hit over .400 and lettered twice in track; he does the 40 in 4.8.
Gary has done construction work and helped out at a Christian camp. His birthplace is Brownsville, Texas."
