Former Tennessee football player Joe Maiure died Thursday in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Maiure was a UT blocking back and defensive back who lettered three seasons, including 1950 and 1951 squads that produced national championships.

Originally from New Kensington, Pa., Maiure was known for his excellent work in the defensive backfield under legendary head coach Gen. Robert R. Neyland. The Vols combined for a 29-4-1 record during Maiure three seasons, winning one SEC crown, finishing second twice, claiming a share of the 1950 national title and earning consensus honors in 1951.
