Artist Alvin Fall and former USF cornerback Ron Hemingway smiling while holding framed illustration of Hemingway in his USF Bulls uniform

This 16" x 20" colored pencil illustration, created in 2014, honors former USF Bulls cornerback Ron Hemingway, who serves as defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at St. Petersburg High School, his alma mater. The piece showcases Fall's signature attention to uniform detail in USF's green jersey, set against an innovative background featuring metallic gold paint creating a dimensional number "3" inlay. A defensive play diagram - the "Hemi Blitz" - is subtly integrated into the white space, acknowledging Hemingway's ongoing influence in football strategy and youth development. The composition is framed by precise measurement marks and the Bulls' logo, while architectural lines add structural depth to this tribute piece celebrating Hemingway's lasting impact as both player and mentor in the St. Petersburg community.
