Chadron State College Athletic Hall of Fame
Jay was a three-year starter at wide receiver for the Eagles and caught 108 passes for 2,137 yards and 22 touchdowns during his career. Both the yardage figure and touchdown totals were career records at CSC when he graduated.
The yardage figure now ranks third and the touchdown total is tied for first on the all-time lists. His 13 touchdown receptions as a senior in 1991 tied the single-season mark set by Don Beebe in 1988.
Jay was a first-team All-Nebraska choice by the Omaha World-Herald in his senior year and was second-team all-conference that season.
He compiled a 35-13 record as head football coach at Chadron High from 2001 through 2005 and is now the head football coach at Douglas High School in Wyoming. His team won the Class 3A state championship in 2008 and 2009. Jay and his wife, Angela, who is also being inducted into the Hall of Fame, have two children, Harley and Haedyn.
