Tegemu says"Quite a few years ago Jacksonville University had a 7 foot plus player named Artis Gilmore. He attained some degree of national fame and played in the NBA for a while. When he left B-ball he became a, for real, Florida State Trooper."

I think you mean Pembrook Burroughs. He was a highly thought of FHP officer. Pembrook was also 7 foot tall. He played with JU along with Artis Gilmore.
