George Webster played for the great MSU teams of the mid-60s.  He's a CFB HOFer.  2nd MSU player to have his number retired.  Two time AA.  He was on SI's First Team All-Century team.  He's a legit vote for #90.
Mike Webster got my vote here, but now looking at his college profile, I think I may have goofed and voted based on what he was as a pro, which is arguably the greatest center in NFL history.

NO. 51 — KURT BURRIS, C, OKLAHOMA (1951-54)
A center and linebacker, Burris was an All-America in 1954 and the runner-up to Alan Ameche for the Heisman.
