David Lamar Little, Jr. played linebacker for Doug Dickey's and Charley Pell's Florida Gators from 1977 to 1980. He was a tackling machine in his day, and is still the Gator's all-time tackles leader with 475. His defensive prowess contributed to the Gators having the best one-year turnaround, going from 0-10-1 to 8-4 and a bowl game. In his senior season of 1980, he was team captain, All SEC, Consensus All American, and Fergie Ferguson award winner. He was drafted in the 7th round of the 1981 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Association as a Gator Great in 1991.
