Julius Campbell, the high school football star from the T.C.
Williams High School’s Titans, passed away at age 65.
Alongside fellowTitans player Gerry Bertier, Campbell helped lead the team to an undefeated season in 1971.
On the big screen, Campbell’s legacy is forever immortalized inthe Disney hit film “Remember the Titans.
“WhileOscar winner Denzel Washingtonplays Coach Boone, Campbell is portrayed by actor Wood Harris.
