And Burl Toler. May have been the best among them. Was hurt in the College/NFL Champion All Star game in ‘52 and never played in the pros. Went on to become the first AA principal in the SFUSD and the first black ref in the NFL.

Burl Toler's name is on the building of my kid's school in SF.

I confess that even though I was born in SF and I'm over 50, I had to look up who Toler was when I noticed his name above the entrance earlier this year.

I'm generally opposed to naming public areas after people (especially people who are still alive) but I suppose that's a good example of why we do it.
