  • ... that as a college football player, Frank LeMaster changed from being a fullback to the starting halfback, to reserve halfback, to tight end, to linebacker, back to halfback and then linebacker again? Source: The Courier-Journal ("And he recalled his early college career. 'I was a fullback my whole freshman year,' said the 6-foot-2, 220-pound LeMaster. 'In my sophomore year, we introduced the Wishbone offense and I started at halfback the first two games. I only got to carry the ball 10 times and I averaged four yards but apparently that wasn't good enough ... I went about three games as a reserve halfback and they switched me to tight end ... Then they switched me to linebacker. Then they moved me back to halfback. And then they moved me to linebacker again.'")

I'll review this one. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 02:40, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

  • He was a key member of Philadelphia's defense for several years, and along with Bill Bergey and John Bunting led one add a comma after "Bunting"
  • He helped them reach Super Bowl XV in 1980, and was selected no comma needed
  • However, he missed 1983 due to injury and was traded to the San Francisco 49ers in 1984, and did not make the team, after which he retired. kind of a run-on sentence, consider splitting into two.

Early life and education[edit]

  • He attended Bryan Station High School, and despite seeing major action only in his last two seasons, compiled 40 touchdowns, 3,000 yards, and helped them reach the Class AA state finals while playing fullback. -> He attended Bryan Station High School where he played fullback and halfback for the football team. Despite seeing major action only in his last two seasons, he compiled 40 touchdowns, 3,000 yards, and helped the team reach the Class AA state finals.
  • He spent his freshman year at his high school position before changing to halfback as a sophomore not sure what this means. Do you mean he played fullback his freshman year? if so, just say that.
  • After graduating, LeMaster played four seasons for the Kentucky Wildcats from 1970 to 1973. add in "of college football" after "seasons"
  • No need to spell out NFL again, since you spelled it out in the lead.
  • However, he was named All-American at the end of the year, and was invited through the efforts I would recommend splitting into two sentences -> He was also invited through the efforts...

Professional career[edit]

  • started all four preseason games, and ended up no comma needed
  • consecutive games with Philadelphia, and he also led the team no comma needed
  • strike-shortened 1982 season, and LeMaster missed the entire no comma needed
  • LeMaster played 129 games and started 115 in his career, and posted 10 interceptions, which he returned for 190 yards and two touchdowns. recommend breaking into two sentences

Later life and family[edit]

  • LeMaster worked for Enron Energy Services in the Philadelphia area among other businesses comma after "among"
  • With his wife, Marylou, LeMaster had three children. -> LeMaster and his wife Marlou had three children.

References[edit]

  • You have a few times where you repeat the same reference after consecutive sentences (Ref #3 in the early life section). If the whole paragraph is cited to that source, you don't need to repeat them after each sentence.
  • Ref #11 you repeat Philadelphia Inquirer as publisher and agency. Seems repetitive. Why not just use the newspaper field?
  • Spot check:
    • Ref #1 looks good in all 3 uses.
    • Ref #4 looks good.
    • Ref #7 looks good.
    • Ref #8 looks good.
    • Ref #11 looks good in both uses.
    • Ref #12 looks good.
    • Ref #14 looks good.
    • Ref #15 looks good.
