In 1950, he was named the starting offensive end as a sophomore and contributed to Kentucky's best season under Bryant,[2] finishing with an 11–1 record and a 13–7 upset in the Sugar Bowl over the eventual national champions the University of Oklahoma, also ending the Sooners' 31-game winning streak.
As a senior, he was moved to the offensive tackle position and earned his second straight third-team All-SEC honors.
Professional career
Los Angeles Rams
Fry was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the third round (36th overall) of the 1953 NFL Draft.[3] He became a starter at left tackle as a rookie, before spending the next two years out of football while serving his military service.
He returned in 1956 and maintained his starting role for four straight seasons, even though at the time he was one of the lightest offensive linemen in the NFL.[citation needed]
He was a starter on the left side of the line during the Cowboys first three seasons, until he lost his spot to Tony Liscio in the middle of the 1963 season and was moved to the right tackle position in place of Ed Nutting.[5]
Fry retired after being released by the Cleveland Browns on August 29, 1965.
Coaching career
In 1967, after being the Atlanta Falcons' chief talent scout, he was named the assistant offensive line coach and eventually was promoted to offensive line coach.[7]
