According to the eBay seller, that’s Gary Valbuena. He did indeed attend Tennessee, but he was playing for the Southern California Sun of the WFL in 1974. (Do we know that the game was actually played in March of 1974, as the eBay seller claims? Yes, we do: The date March 31, 1974, can be seen on this plaque, which was apparently awarded after the game. I asked reader Mark Rosa — aka “Mark in Shiga” — if he could translate the rest of the plaque, and he said it reads, “Japan-US American Football, Winning Team, March 31, 1974,
Glory Prize.”)
