It is Dexter McNabb.  McNabb was a huge running back for that time (the mid 1980's) at 6'2" 225 lbs.  He led Walton to its only state title in 1985, defeating undefeated Wildwood 7-2 in the 2A title game.  Ultimately he played for the Gators and then several seasons in the NFL.  

Here's a guy who has done some positive things after his life of football.  Please read below.
