[5] Morgan Blake, sports writer for the Atlanta Journal, said of an all-time All-Southern list:[6] "It seems to us that one name is left out in this collection, who may have been the best all-around player the South has had.

If Wycoff had been flanked by such a pair of halfbacks as Red Barron and Buck Flowers, or Thomason and Mizell while he was with the Jackets, he would have been an all-American.

He once beat former Florida Gators fullback Bill Middlekauff in a match, the main event at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium for Georgia Championship Wrestling promoter Henry Weber.
