No Roger Staubach did not play for Quantico. He was stationed at U.S. Marine Corps Base Albany Georgia. There was a rumor that he might transfer to NAS Pensacola and play for the Pensacola Goshawks, the Navy and Marine Corps. team of flight students. He was scheduled to be assigned to the Naval Hospital at Quantico. Because the Vietnam War was in progress, word got out from someone believed to be the backfield coach and the resultant publicity caused reassignment. Favoritism for a football star would have given a bad impression at that time.

Roger did not play for Quantico, but he did play for the Pensacola Goshawks in 1967, a year after I played there.
