Chadron State College Athletic Hall of Fame
He was a hard-nosed, four-year starter at defensive end. The only games he didn’t start during his career were a couple after he hurt his knee as a senior in 1979. He participated in 199 tackles and recovered four fumbles during his career. He also did most of the Eagles’ kicking off his final two years and occasionally kicked field goals and extra points, scoring 24 points. He earned all-district honors as a junior in 1978, when the Eagles won the Boot Hill Bowl. After graduating, he returned to the family’s ranch at Arapahoe, Neb., and has been one of the nation’s leading Charolais breeders.
