Edmondson left The Citadel midway through his sophomore year in 1942 and said he doesn't have contact with any of his old schoolmates from The Citadel. "They've all passed on," he said.
No doubt they would all be surprised to see Mr. Two Bits still jumping around on the football field after all these years.
To honor the occasion, officials at The Citadel will present Edmondson with a paperweight replica of a Citadel ring during an alumni event on Friday.
Then Saturday, when the Bulldogs play at Florida, Edmondson will make his last appearance as Mr. Two Bits.
"The Citadel is a great school," he said. "I'm proud to be a part of it, but on Saturday, I'll be pulling for the Gators."
