His first client was former Gamecocks wide receiver Sterling Sharpe, a first-round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 1988.
Black joined the coaching staff at University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1980, and in 1983, became a wide receiver coach at University of South Carolina, and the school’s top recruiter.

South Carolina’s then-athletic director, Bob Marcum, denied that race played a role.
William H. Black, Jr. was born on March 11, 1957 in Johnson City, Tennessee, to William H. Black, Sr. and Thelma Brown. His father nicknamed him “Tank” because of his son’s unusual birth weight (11 pounds) and broad head.
