Defensive End
No. 92
Austin Peay
"Sloan was a No. 10 draft choice of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1973 and won himself a spot at defensive tackle where he opened the season as a starter and played seven games before knee injuries and leg ailments put him on the sidelines. Released the following season, he had a trial with New Orleans in 1975 before his release there, and was signed as a free agent by the Giants during this past off-season. Totally deaf, Bonnie is an expert lip-reader and utilizes other means of communications while playing. He'll get a trial at defensive end with the Giants.
Twice an All-Conference selection at Austin Peay, Sloan was additionally named to the Little All-American honorable mention list both seasons and was his team's MVP in his senior year.
Bonnie Ryan Sloan was born in Lebanon, Tennessee and was both a football and track standout at Isaac Litton High School in Nashville. He now makes his home in Madison, Tennessee."
