Eldon was a great, humble guy. I was friends with him in our SoCal ward with him for like three years before I realized he was “The Phantom”, a BYU legend. Rest in peace, Brother Fortie. https://t.co/4iKWNyJoDr

I’m sad to hear about the passing of legendary BYU football player, Eldon “The Phantom” Fortie.
He was 79.
He ran for 272 yards in 1962 vs George Washington. That record held up until 2016 (Jamaal Williams 286 vs Toledo).https://t.co/MLDJo9X4ea#BYUFootball pic.twitter.com/jVMc1tSoZp
