Tinsley played college football for the Clemson Tigers program.[1] While at Clemson, Tinsley was a running back.[2]
After college, Tinsley played in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers during their 1945 season.[3] Although he was a running back at Clemson, the Steelers primarily used Tinsley as punter.[4] Tinsley did rush the ball 5 times for 3 yards.[5] Tinsley also recorded an interception and recovered a fumble.[5] However, Tinsley's greatest accomplishment came through his punting, as he led the league in punts (57) and punting yards (2,308) in 1945.[5]
